Re: [Quantlib-dev] Intra-day date representation ?

[Luigi B. <lui...@gm...>]

Unfortunately C++11 is out of the reach of a lot of people still
suffering under the heel of their IT groups :)
(Anecdotal evidence: at StatPro Italia, out boxes are still on the
long-term support Ubuntu release from April 2012---we'll be switching
to the April 2014 one, eventually, but that's lower priority that a
lot of other things on our plate---so we're using gcc 4.6.2 from March
2012. And that's Ubuntu: if we were using RedHat, for instance, that
would be more even conservative.)

Anyway: I'd love all of the things on your list (C++, multithreading,
boost) and I'd be glad to start a 2.0 branch, but I have no idea how
to go about a lot of problems yet: see my talk at Dusseldorf
<http://vimeo.com/79724861> for the major ones.

So: let's start the discussion. I'd love to hear from people with some
ideas about the above...
