I was just wondering if it is possible to get a modified, Boost licensed version of detail/endian.hpp into this next release? It'd be great to get this licensing issue resolved in this next Boost version, if at all possible.
I don't know. I haven't been following that. Did anyone take responsibility for it?
It's highly unlikely. There is al alternative implementation in Boost Predef. But that isn't even fully accepted as a library. I could attempt to do a standalone port from Predef into detail/endian.hpp but I doubt I could both get it done and tested to a point that it would be safe to merge into release. Hi, I understand. I just wanted to make sure because I want to use Boost in a commercial product in the near future and I am not sure what the company will think about the ambiguity. I hope that it can be resolved - if not for the July release, then maybe for the one in November? Perhaps a ticket could be made for this? Kind regards, Philip Bennefall
