Hi Boosters,
Any chance of adding support for the Dinkumware's Abridged C++ 
library to Boost? It consists of the semi-standard Embedded C++ 
library along with the STL.
A few new #defines would be needed, such as 
NO_IOSTREAM_VIRTUAL_INHERITENCE (no fstream, iostream or stringstream 
class - work around using ofstream and ifstream, etc), 
NO_TEMPLATED_IOSTREAMS which means what it says - no basic_ios and 
just ios.
I am considering using Dinkumware's Abridged lib with g++ on QNX soon 
in order to bring down compile times and executable sizes (I am 
currently using the full Dinkumware libs). I think the only change in 
the boost stuff that I use is that lexical_cast needs fixing for no 
stringstream - it can be easily (if less that optimally) implemented 
in terms of ostringstream and istringstream.
Tom
