[odb-users] Intermittent problems building solution

[Adam Walters]

Boris,
Yes, it's probably well outside the scope of what you want to focus on. I spent some frustrating time with this until I found the problem so I just wanted to share my findings in the hope it might save others the same experience!

Cheers,
Adam

Interesting idea. One thing to keep in mind is that these are the
errors from the C++ compiler, not the ODB compiler. I.e., the user
is compiling his code with his C++ compiler long after the ODB
compiler has run.

So we would need to somehow filter the errors from the user's C++
compiler invocation. And we will have to do it for quite a few C++
compiler brands/versions (GCC, Clang, VC++, Sun CC). Sounds like
quite a project on its own.
