Hi All,
The main technical problem is I'd have to pick values for WOULD_BLOCK and WWOULD_BLOCK separately for each supported standard library.
I guess I should have said "potentially" here. I'm going to try const int WOULD_BLOCK = (int) (EOF - 1); const std::wint_t WWOULD_BLOCK = (std::wint_t) (WEOF - 1); There's also an issue with using all capital. I'd like to allow users to be able write using boost::iostreams::WOULD_BLOCK and then use two similar-looking constants EOF and WOULD_BLOCK. If more people would start using all caps for macros, WOULD block would have a higher chance of clashing than would_block; however, I've already had to change a bunch of lower-case identifiers -- including "unix" and "small" -- because they were defined as macros.
