It seems to me that the script has done its job. If you're happy with what it produces then I'll prepare a patch and move onto the next macro.
Hi Angus, I appreciate your efforts in this direction, but maybe we should wait until http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl?BoostConfig is resolved?
Sure. As I read it, the suggestion is that BOOST_MSVC and MSC_VER would be replaced in the Boost code base with BOOST_CXX_MSVC. Using the script it would be trivial to both use the changed semantics (already done) and change the macro name (1 extra line). I don't read the Boost list too closely anymore (too much traffic, too little time) so it's possible that I'd miss any "wake up, Angus" call. Feel free to ping direct. Meantime, I'll move onto Borland. Regards, Angus ps, I tried to redo the script in Python, but since it's just a bunch of regex's, sed and the 'find -name boost '*' | while read file' loop is the optimal solution here; the Python version is twice as long. Admittedly, my Python skills aren't what they might be :)
