What if Boost.Config did something like:
#if !defined(BOOST) # define BOOST boost #endif
And we replace all uses of the boost namespace with BOOST?
Would such a patch against trunk be acceptable? What are the problems?
I know it isn't aesthetically pleasing but it might have made this a bit easier.
In case it isn't clear, what I meant by this is that I am willing to do the work to make it possible.
In order to make this work we need to make sure that there is a namespace alias where appropriate: #if !defined(BOOST_NAMESPACE) #define BOOST_NAMESPACE boost #endif #define BOOST_NAMESPACE_boost 0 #if BOOST_PP_CAT(BOOST_NAMESPACE_, BOOST_NAMESPACE) namespace BOOST_NAMESPACE {} namespace boost = BOOST_NAMESPACE; #endif #undef BOOST_NAMESPACE_boost In Christ, Steven Watanabe
