Re: [boost] Macros at namespace scope: trailing semicolon?

I presume he's proposing something that would, in either a .h or .cpp file, look approximately like this:

class MyClassDefinition {....}; void My_Function_Declaration;

BOOST_PARAMETER_KEYWORD( tag, name) // #1

inline void My_Fn_Definition () { ... many interesting statements ... }

Precisely speaking, see http://wwww.boost-consulting.com/boost/libs/parameter/test/basics.hpp http://wwww.boost-consulting.com/boost/boost/parameter/keyword.hpp

I agree that macros are code writers, no arguments there.

I also agree that macros are not part of the C++ syntax model at all. No question.

I guess it depends whether you consider the preprocessor to be part of C++ :-) -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
