I am open to any form of solution whether it be macro-based or bcp or Xerces style. I just find it sad that I am stopping 1.34 from entering our company on purpose because I do not think that adding to our existing 1.32 and 1.33.1 installations will help. Is there anyway we can get the core boost developers to look into this?
It's an important problem (it's been raised several times), but that said, what do you think the core boost developers can "look into" that you can't? Most of the core devels are probably not as familiar with the problem as you are. My suggestion is that you write up a concrete proposal for what we should do, what the consequences are, and how it should be used, and post it to this list. We'll discuss it. Once semi-stable it should go on a wiki, and we'll have to decide if it should be adopted. There are many different tools you could use to approach this, in various combinations, with different implications: namespace aliases macros using declarations using directives nested namespaces I'd want to see that you had considered all the viable permutations and chosen the best one.
Since I am the only boost-evangelist here, I can't imagine me stopping progress over something like this.
HELP!! :)
