Or we could arrange to write:
#if BOOST_WORKAROUND(BOOST_GCC,< 3,2,3)
Nobody likes that one?
I like it. I just didn't think I needed to say so!
What about:
#if BOOST_WORKAROUND(GCC,< 3,2,3)
Pretty succinct, I think.
Since BOOST_WORKAROUND can put the "BOOST_" prefix on it to keep it safe (that is, to refer to BOOST_GCC and not to GCC), the succinctness is a real help.
I'm not sure about getting BOOST_TESTED_AT to work here.
#if BOOST_WORKAROUND(GCC, BOOST_TESTED_AT 3,2,3)
would be nice syntax, but I'm just not sure how workable it is. We may end up with
#if BOOST_WORKAROUND_TESTED_AT(GCC, 3,2,3)
which is actually pretty nice and requires fewer fancy tricks to implement.
I like the looks of what Jonathan proposed. But these look fine, too. -- Rob Stewart stewart@sig.com Software Engineer http://www.sig.com Susquehanna International Group, LLP using std::disclaimer;
