You seem simply unwilling to accept that there are people who refuse to use Pheonix, and libraries built on it because:
1) It leads to horribly large compile times. 2) Error messages. I know you hate this, so let me write out my opinion one last time.
Phoenix leads to error messages which: * On the compilers I commonly use - I can't change this, there aren't that many compilers around. * Are very, very large * and require different skills to read and understand than any other library.
Ok, let's put that to a test.
Sorry to ask you another problem, but could you try another test? The following code shows a small example, which comes from a real program of mine. I have changed my old out-of-line code to use boost local. Note that in practice there are many different types which implement my 'vars' interface (getMax/getMin/setMax/setMin). #include <iostream> #include <string> #include <vector> #include <algorithm> #include "local/boost/local/function.hpp" template<typename T> struct Var { void setMax(int i) {} void setMin(int i) {} int getMax() { return 0; } int getMin() { return 0; } }; template<typename T> void squeeze_vars_local(std::vector<T>& vec, int i) { void BOOST_LOCAL_FUNCTION_PARAMS_TPL(T& t, bind i) { t.first.setMax(t.second.getMax() - i); t.second.setMin(t.first.getMin() + i); } BOOST_LOCAL_FUNCTION_NAME(squeeze); std::for_each(vec.begin(), vec.end(), squeeze); } int main(void) { std::vector<std::pair<Var<int>, Var<double> > > v; squeeze_vars_local(v,2); } In the past I tried turning this into phoenix code, and failed. I'd be genuinely interested to know what it would look like as a phoenix function. Chris
