Note that to make this happen, you'll need to coordinate with John. The way Boost.TR1 works is like this:
- If the platform implements <tr1/foo_header>, include it. Otherwise, - Include <boost/foo_header.hpp> and bring boost::foo into the std::tr1 namespace with a using declaration.
If boost::result_of sometimes uses decltype, the above won't work because then std::tr1::result_of will sometimes use decltype. It seems to me that <boost/utility/result_of.hpp> should expose a boost::tr1_result_of that can be used by <boost/tr1/result_of.hpp> to get the TR1 behavior regardless of whether decltype exists or not.
Nod, I've had to do something similar with some type_traits classes when they changed from TR1 to C++1x. Can someone who understands the issues please work out a patch? Also note that providing an "archived" TR1 version of result_of won't help other Boost code that relies on boost::result_of - some of which may also get imported and/or used by the TR1 lib :-( John.
