[New-bugs-announce] [issue12259] Test and document which compilers can be created on which platform

[Éric Araujo]

New submission from Éric Araujo <merwok at netwok.org>:

When working on the docs for new_compiler, I read that it was possible to get an msvc compiler on Unix.  I tried it, even wrote a unit test to make sure it worked, and found out that not all compiler classes can be instantiated on my platform.  This should be better documented.
