Hello all,
I have an aesthetic question. Boost.Algorithm puts C++11 algorithms like all_of into a directory boost/algorithm/cxx11. Would the directory name boost/algorithm/cpp11 be preferred?
After poking around Boost.Config and other Boost libraries, it seems that cxx11/CXX11 is the commonly adopted code name for C++11. Therefore, I have no problem with cxx11/CXX11 in macros, code symbols, directories, files, etc when there's a need to name C++11 as Boost.Algorithm, Boost.Config, etc are doing. Naming the specific C++11 standard can be considered a different issue from naming a C++ files .cpp/.hpp. For example add_with_cxx11_lambdas.cpp is a C++ files that implements and addition using C++11 lambdas and I think that's a fine name (maybe even better than add_with_cpp11_lambdas.cpp). I'd consider this issue closed. Regards, --Lorenzo -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/boost-algorithm-aesthetic-question-about-...
