Compiler Requirements

CppUnit2 no longer support prehistoric compilers like CppUnit1 did. That being said, a lot of care is being used concerning the usage of C++ features to ensure great portability.

Four major requirements:

throwing C++ exception
namespace
function and method parameter types deduction in function template

Compiler features that are not required:

run-time type information (RTTI)
template member support
template partial specialization
partial ordering of overloaded function templates

As an element of reference, CppUnit2 can be compiled correctly with Microsoft Visual C++ 6 and gcc 2.95.
