Hi,
I've written some preprocessor directives to generate functions for a
class. With Boost 1.55 everything works fine with gcc and clang. When I
try to change to Boost 1.57 I've got some strange compile errors.
I'm happy if someone could help.
In your FUNCTION_DECL macro you have this line:

BOOST_PP_IF(BOOST_PP_LIST_IS_NIL(BOOST_PP_TUPLE_TO_LIST(BOOST_PP_TUPLE_ELEM(1, 
tup))), \

but with your second function of '(b)' there is only one tuple element 
so attempting BOOST_PP_TUPLE_ELEM(1,tup) on it is undefined behavior. 
Instead test the size of the tuple with BOOST_PP_TUPLE_SIZE and if it is 
only 1 then you know you don't have a second tuple element and can 
convert it to '()'. In other words instead of:

BOOST_PP_IF(BOOST_PP_LIST_IS_NIL(BOOST_PP_TUPLE_TO_LIST(BOOST_PP_TUPLE_ELEM(1, 
tup))), \
    (), \

have

BOOST_PP_IIF(BOOST_PP_EQUAL(BOOST_PP_TUPLE_SIZE(tup),1)), \
    (), \

You can't rely on undefined behavior and your version relies on 
BOOST_PP_TUPLE_ELEM on an element which does not exist return nothing 
and on BOOST_PP_TUPLE_TO_LIST when presented with nothing for a tuple 
expanding to an empty list.

The fact that this once worked is just a coincidence of the 
implementation details, and these have changed from 1.55 to 1.57.

Thanks
