Hello,
Hi Daniel, sorry if this is late.
With all the recent discussion about Functional Programming, I thought I'd take a closer look at some of the FP libraries that I haven't really used before, and I started last night by browsing through Phoenix's documentation. This led me to a few questions:
Does Phoenix allow side-effects
Yes.
or is it "pure" functional like Fusion
Huh? Fusion also allows side-effects.
and FC++? Does it allow modification of arguments by reference - either builtin references or reference_wrapper?
Yes, both.
What is the status of the Phoenix msvc port? The documentation seems to indicate that it's possible but not necessarily forthcoming.
Phoenix works with all modern C++ compiler. That comment is outdated and refers to MSVC 6 and 7.
Is there any immediate plan to make Phoenix interoperable with the coming standard library's std::bind, std::placeholders, std::is_bind_expression, and std::is_placeholder?
Let's see how it goes. Eric just recently did an amazing port of Phoenix to Proto bumping the version to 3.0. I intend to be active with Phoenix dev soon. ... I believe the rest (rank-2) was already discussed in some of the exchanges. Regards, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boostpro.com http://spirit.sf.net
