In the new headers for spirit - I only find SPIRIT_VERSION in some "classic" file.
Basically I would like to compile something conditionally on SPIRIT_VERSION.
For classic Spirit, then it is: spirit/include/classic_version.hpp For spirit2, there is none yet. And I'm not sure if we still need one. Historically, Spirit had its own release cycle. Now that Boost has a faster cycle, I am considering simply syncing to Boost's releases. Tell me if you still think we need one.
Another point:
Wouldn't it have made a lot more sense just to make a new directory and namespace "spirit2" and avoid the the convolution that occurs now and the associated warning.
We considered that approach. IMO, it's not the right thing to do. I can't imagine a Boost world where each new significant library version were to have its own directory inside Boost. That would be chaos. At least our "convoluted" scheme is will persist for the deprecation duration only.
The warning doesn't work for all compilers.
Indeed. But at least for the major compilers, it does. Regards, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boostpro.com http://spirit.sf.net
