Re: [Boost-users] POSIX regex library conflicts

I appreciate that this case is somewhat handled by the compatibility header, but this isn't always an available solution. We were able to change headers, so this problem was solved, but this may not always be possible (ie third party software). Perhaps the developers could include some protection against this kind of error by checking to see if the offending constants are defined before the boost declarations are made and #undef-ing them as needed. This kind of error can be difficult to track down in mid-large projects.

I am aware of this snag: I hope to have a reasonable solution in place for Boost-1.33. John.
