Supported Compilers

Boost.Convert makes use of SFINAE for correct boost::convert() deployment depending on the context. Unfortunately, the correctness and the completeness of SFINAE support varies with different compilers and different versions of those compilers. Consequently, some compilers fail to compile Boost.Convert API (although the actual functionality provided by the converters themselves is probably availabable via other non-standard means). Boost.Convert has been tested through the Boost regression-testing framework with the following results:

CLANG. Successfully tested with versions from 2.9 to 3.6;
GCC. Successfully tested with versions from 4.2.1 through to 5.0. Earlier versions were not tested;
Intel C++ compiler. Successfully tested with versions from 12.1 forward. Earlier versions fail to compile Boost.Convert due to lacking full SFINAE support;
MSVC. Successfully tested from MSVC 2013 (msvc-12.0) forward. Earlier versions had some components disabled due to lacking full SFINAE support;
