Hi,
Is there any reason to have an own error code wrapper in boost::interprocess/errors.hpp, instead of using boost::system::error_code?
Because interprocess was developed before system. There is plan to adapt it in the future, but we need to maintain some backwards compatibility.
Also, the final C++0x standard is due to be voted out in mid-March, and Boost.System in effect becomes part of the standard library. While there won't be much change in the WP between now and March, a few details may well change. My plan is to do a pass through Boost.System then, and bring it as close to the standard as possible, including ifdef use of C++0x features. After that might be the best time for Ion and other Boost developers thinking about changing code to use Boost.System. --Beman
