Is there a list of supported compilers in the doc? Currently, clang-3.1 is not supported. (On clang-3.1, `template_id_with_cvr<int const&>().name_demangled()` returns `const int &>::n() [T = const `.)
TypeIndex has been tested on MSVC2010, GCC-4.5, Clang-2.9. There is currently no list of supported compilers. If TypeIndex would be accepted into boost, support for all compilers running regression tests will be added. You can also define BOOST_TYPE_INDEX_CTTI_BEGIN_SKIP and BOOST_TYPE_INDEX_CTTI_END_SKIP for your compiler. Consider the following example: BOOST_CURRENT_FUNCTION for boost::detail::ctti<int>:: returns "const char *__cdecl boost::detail::ctti<int>::n(void)". Then you shall set BOOST_TYPE_INDEX_CTTI_BEGIN_SKIP to sizeof("const char *__cdecl boost::detail::ctti<") - 1 and BOOST_TYPE_INDEX_CTTI_END_SKIP to sizeof(">::n(void)") - 1 I`ll add documentation for those macroses and fix TypeIndex on clang-3.1 ASAP.
Please note that, in general, clang does not recommend to use version checks, because the version number of clang is not consistent between the vendors. For example, LLVM project's clang-3.1 is different from Apple clang-3.1. `template_id_with_cvr<...>().name_demangled()` returns the correct name on the latter compiler, but it returns incorrect name on the former compiler. To distinguish these compilers, you cannot use `__clang_major__` and `__clang_minor__` macros; maybe you need to use `__clang_version__` macro.
Thanks for a good advise! -- Best regards, Antony Polukhin
