Let me simplify the question:
VC++6 and other old compiler builds are totally broken in multiple
wide used libraries.
1) Shall I fix and commit bugfixes for those errors (hundreds of
them)? I have no time to fix them all.
2) Shall I do nothing?
2.1) Do we need code, old/deprecated headers that does not work at all?
2.2) Why don`t post a warning/error for a user, that this compiler
is not supported and '21 error(s), 1674 warning(s)' are not the user
fault?
3) Shall I post bug reports for library maintainers?
3.1) They have opened bugs even for new compilers... When will be
the fixes ready? Will be there any fixes?
Best regards,
