I am defining a macro,
BOOST_PARAMETER_KEYWORD(tag_namespace, name)
that declares a keyword for the Parameter library. It has to be used at namespace scope. I have the option to define it so that correct usage requires a trailing semicolon, or so that the trailing semicolon is forbidden. Unfortunately I don't have the ability to make it optional. Which should I choose?
<lurk mode off> This is more-or-less what I was asking about several weeks back on the "boost-users" list (although at the time I didn't know how to require the semicolon - I do now, thanks to the feedback.) As others have pointed out, it's more convenient in many ways, and IMHO more "natural" to have the semicolon. <lurk mode on> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Steffen, Ph.D. "There are two ways to write error-free Software Engineer IV programs; only the third one works."
