Why BOOST_PQS_INT32? Doesn't the standard or Boost provide enough types for this without you having to define a macro? And even if not, why not use a typedef instead?
I tried that but it wasnt acceptable as a non-type parameter IIRC.
Eh? boost::int32_t is just a typedef for ... well int on most platforms, so sure it's usable as a non-type parameter. Using a macro for this looks just silly to me, unless you have a concrete example that shows otherwise?
Maybe. I started out using the boost::int32_t ( I started out using int, then changed from there to boost::int32_t one day, which caused compile errors, but what that situation or compiler was I dont remember). Anyway changing to a macro solved this particular compilation error. Changing the macro to use boost::int32_t doesnt currently cause compile errors, at least in VC7.1. Not tested on gcc though. If I find the exact situation, I will sure present it. regards Andy Little
