Re: [boost] [parameter] Redefining BOOST_PARAMETER_MAX_ARITY

Should I expect to be able to redefine BOOST_PARAMETER_MAX_ARITY and be able to compile? <http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0/libs/parameter/doc/html/reference.html#boost-parameter-max-arity>

For example using,

#define BOOST_PARAMETER_MAX_ARITY 6 #include <boost/parameter/name.hpp> #include <boost/parameter/preprocessor.hpp>

// ... code here ...

does not compile.

What is the error? It _should_ work.

Also I wonder if there is some theoretical or practical upper limit?

Surely there is a practical upper limit, but it depends on your compiler and I don't know what it is. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
