2.) What is the best way to encode knowledge of GCC-XML in boost libraries? I suspect most of the knowledge can be put in the config library when it defines macros encoding the availability of parser features.
I've added tentative support to Boost.Config, exactly how far that gets us remains to be seen :-)
Thanks, I'll give it a try when I get a chance. There is one problem I see in gcc_xml.hpp: # if __GCCXML__ < 30400 # define BOOST_NO_IS_ABSTRACT # endif GCC-XML defines __GCCXML__ with its *own* version number, not that of the internal GCC parser. There is a simple mapping from GCC-XML version number to the GCC parser version number (currently always 3.3). However I can see that it would be a pain for every project to know about this mapping. I should add more definitions like __GCCXML_GNUC__ __GCCXML_GNUC_MINOR__ __GCCXML_GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__ so that the true GCC parser version is known. This also maintains the option to replace the parser with another compiler in the future. Do these names look okay to you John? Thanks, -Brad
