Man! Of course you should use the examples in 1.45. Those examples are for 1.48 and uses new features implemented in 1.48! Sheesh!
I fully understand that. The point is that the Phoenix interface is evolving much more quickly than that of probably any other Boost library. Even apart from the fact that there already have been two bottom-up rewrites, there are enough significant changes between point releases that even small example programs are tied to a particular version of the library. Why is the optimal way to write a small calculator example today so different from the optimal way to write it six months ago? I'm not disputing that you're making forward progress, just highlighting this as another barrier to entry that Local likely won't have.
The funny thing is that the new feature came from Spirit, not Phoenix. Phoenix API has been stable for many years now. Triple sheesh for ya! :-)
Double Sheesh! If you've spent even a few seconds looking into the error (beyond fault-finding), you will see that a simple textual search of "error" will reveal this:
Yes, it's possible to wade through the error messages and figure out what went wrong. And Qi is clearly trying to help out with traceable
Wade? Use search. It's a textual search for "error". Anyway, I'm really outta here. Enough strawman arguments. Regards, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boostpro.com http://boost-spirit.com
