I believe http://boost.org/more/getting_started.html may be conflating
the compiler's runtime support library with the standard library
(which admittedly are sometimes the same). Consider the case
mentioned there:
For example if you compile debug code for STLport using native IO
streams, and statically link to the debug runtime the tag would be:
"-sgdpn".
STLPort's native IOstreams feature means there's no compiled STLPort
binary. I presume that when not using native iostreams, 'g' selects the
debug version of the STLPort binary. When using native iostreams,
* Does it enable STLPort debug mode?
* Does it use a debug version of the compiler's runtime library?
TIA,
