I am defining a macro,
BOOST_PARAMETER_KEYWORD(tag_namespace, name)
that declares a keyword for the Parameter library. It has to be used at namespace scope. I have the option to define it so that correct usage requires a trailing semicolon, or so that the trailing semicolon is forbidden. Unfortunately I don't have the ability to make it optional. Which should I choose?
The normal use for marcros do not requiere you to place an extra semicolon. Macros are not function calls and should be treated different. The fact that some people do not like macros and they think they polute the code, they have two choices, you can embrase the use of macros, or just live with them as macros are not going to be removed from the standard.
Ooooooo Kaaaaaay. But nothing you wrote above addresses the question I asked. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
