Solved. Completely down to operator error. FWIW. Some brackets had become misplaced. BOOST_PARAMETER_KEYWORD(tag,a) BOOST_PARAMETER_KEYWORD(tag,b) struct parameters : boost::parameter::parameters< boost::parameter::required<tag::a > >, boost::parameter::optional <tag::b > // ouch! {}; Sorry for the noise. Richard.

Hi,
With the parameter library is there any way to stop misuse as in;
func(/*a = */1,b = 2); Fine, a is positional, b is named.
func(a = 1,2);
Happily compiles but probably isn't what was intended, the default value is used for the second parameter. Should positional arguments be allowed to occur after named arguments?
Perusing the Parameter library docs I can't see any mention as to what should happen here.
Regards,
Richard.
