What will it take to port the (splendid) Chaos library into Boost? "Just" fixing VC++ pp or more?
That probably still wouldn't be enough. VC++ is particularly bad, but it isn't the only poor preprocessor that Boost supports. What it would really take is a mentality shift. I will not put workarounds in Chaos regardless of length or practical utility (nor will I allow them). Chaos targets C and C++. It doesn't target a single compiler. Does a library that operates under that ethic belong in Boost? I'm not so sure.
Btw, are Chaos docs online in HTML form somewhere?
