Matt Calabrese's version is in http://www.illegal-immigration.com/Riv/boost/binary_literal2.hpp. It can be used as: int x = BOOST_BINARY_LITERAL( 101 0111 1010 0110 );
This version looks better to me. There is no contradiction with 2.13.1/2 rules. I don't like BOOST_SUFFIXED_BINARY_LITERAL much, though. Is it possible to get rid of it and to use BOOST_BINARY_LITERAL( 0000 0110U ) instead?
It is possible, but requires quite a few more macros to implement (approximately double). How about: BOOST_BINARY_LITERAL(...) BOOST_BINARY_LITERAL_U(...) BOOST_BINARY_LITERAL_L(...) BOOST_BINARY_LITERAL_UL(...) (etcetera, if we need/want long long support) All of these are easy to implement. BTW, is there any reason why we couldn't go with just 'BOOST_BINARY'?
