and should work. It also replaces all instances of BOOST_ prefix in preprocessor symbol definitions and references with BOOST_1_34_0_ and
cool you just answered my coworker's question without seeing it :)
Other issues:
From my very limited knowledge of boost::regexp, I did not find a way to solve replacing
namespace boost { ... }
with
namespace boost { namespace 1_34_0 { ... }} // end namespace boost::1_34_0
Hmmm I was thinking of the same issue. How can we build a tool to insert the nested namespace. My coworker said that it should be a matter of brace matching while ignoring string literals with braces. In other words, we might be able to get away with a simpler parser but probably much more than what regex can do.
Where searching for the ending curly braces is the challenge. I had some success experimenting with boost::expressive, but this code is far from ready. I am also a lot more concerned with parsing issues and robustness as I envision many "reasonable" ways to break the matching. So my suggestion is to start with the boost::regexp code which works well for the simpler use-case.
If anybody want to work on the nested namespace use-case, then I am happy to provide them with my code. I do however not have time to spend on this now, sorry.
That's so sad :( But thanks for the prototype. It can only help :)
