Looks like the range fixes broke foreach. See http://mysite.verizon.net/beman/bgd-win32-trunk-results.html This is my fault, sinc eI changed the names of the ADL hooks back to 1.34 names:
namespace boost { char * range_begin(mine::dummy&) {return 0;} char const * range_begin(mine::dummy const&) {return 0;} char * range_end(mine::dummy&) {return 0;} char const * range_end(mine::dummy const&) {return 0;} }
should be
namespace boost { char * boost_range_begin(mine::dummy&) {return 0;} char const * boost_range_begin(mine::dummy const&) {return 0;} char * boost_range_end(mine::dummy&) {return 0;} char const * boost_range_end(mine::dummy const&) {return 0;} }
The old names have been in use for so long that I don't see the point in changing them anymore.
I'm dumbfounded. Thorsten, how can you make an API-breaking change to a core library like Range at a time like this, and not tell anybody?
I could have announced this better, I apologize for that. What time is this?
My code, docs and tests would all need to change because of this.
!!!!!
We agreed long ago that range_begin() was the name of the customization point, because the Range concept is larger than Boost. Has that changed?
And that is the problem: do you want to break the few boost libs in a development trunk, or break all clients out there? The names where settled for maybe two years ago. -Thorsten
