Eric Niebler :
I ran Phoenix test-suite on * clang 3.1, 3.2 (trunk) * gcc 4.4-4.7, 4.8 (experimental) with * C++03, C++11 + BOOST_RESULT_OF_USE_DECLTYPE, C++11 + BOOST_RESULT_OF_USE_TR1
The only failure is lambda_tests.test (i.e. scope/lambda_tests.cpp) on gcc 4.4-4.7 with C++11 + BOOST_RESULT_OF_USE_DECLTYPE. Is this caused by deficiency of N3276 decltype support?
I don't know. Maybe Thomas can have a look. I tried to understand the code for Phoenix lambda and broke my brain. :-P This test also fails on msvc when BOOST_RESULT_OF_USE_DECLTYPE is defined.
I did additional tests: on clang 2.8-3.0 in a C++11 mode with BOOST_RESULT_OF_USE_DECLTYPE, lambda_tests.test also failed. During the tests, I found that runtime errors (BOOST_TEST failures) happen in some tests (e.g. scope/let_tests.cpp) when compiling them with optimization flag (-O2 or -O3) on both gcc (except gcc 4.5) and clang. The runtime failures happen both in C++03 and C++11 modes. I don't know if this is related to Boost.Proto, but I report this here just in case.
P.S. What was the main reason for the incompatibility between Phoenix and decltype-based result_of? And how did you fix it?
A host of small problems, most of them pretty simple. Here's an example:
struct Fun { typedef void result_type;
template<typename T> void operator()(T & t) const {} };
struct S {}; typedef boost::result_of<Fun(S)>::type should_be_void_t;
The trouble with this is that result_of will create an rvalue of type S and try to pass that to Fun's operator(). It will fail because rvalues don't bind to non-const lvalues. But this works fine with TR1 result_of.
For Phoenix, the fix was usually to make the function parameter a const ref. In other cases, the right fix might be to change the result_of invocation to: boost::result_of<Fun(S &)>.
I see. Thanks for sharing the information! Regards, Michel
