In Feb 2005 there was a discussion of boost::tuple lib being replaced with a different more std::tr1 conforming version from boost::fusion. What is the status of this change?
No progress as such, as far as I know (at least as far as Boost.Tuple goes), however the TR1 lib is using the new tuple code behind the scenes.
That's not exactly true. There's progress! :) Fusion is in the review queue. Some people say that we should just go ahead and change the old with the new. However, fusion is too big a departure from the original tuple library. There are lots more sequences (e.g. vector/list/set/map), an extensive set of views), there are algorithms and iterators, etc. I'd rather regard Fusion as an entire new library of its own. The TR1 compatibility layer is a mere fraction of its capabilities. Regards, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boost-consulting.com http://spirit.sf.net
