Re: [boost] Inquiry of standardization status of boost::format

Due to the limitation of gettext usage with standard iostream, there's a proposal to improve the case in glibmm's string implementation [1], whose goals resemble boost::format very much.

This stuff will all be much easier once we have variadic templates, i.e. you will be able to have a type-safe sprintf in C++. You can now get a version of gcc that supports them, and they should be in C++0x. So unless you have some very urgent reason to change immediately, I suggest that you wait for a bit. (I imagine that this means that the operator%-style Boost.Format will not progress towards the standard library, but I am not in any position to comment on that.) Regards, Phil.
