From: "Paul Mensonides" <pmenso57@comcast.net>
(Note: I
use pattern matching for simplicity. Lazy metaprogramming should be doable without pattern matching. I also have no more sympathy for lousy compiler implementers. RANT: How many years does it take to correctly implement a language (C preprocessor) described in about 20 pages of prose? For some it seems to take more than a decade.)
Do I detect a hint of bitterness? ;)
Plenty.
I'm sure Paul Mensonides is struggling with similar things, his Chaos library being only usable on the most conforming compilers (from what I understand).
I'm not exactly struggling with it. I'm simply not supporting any preprocessor that is buggy.
Yes, sorry, bad wording. The above was meant rather tounge-in-cheek. I didn't really mean that either of you are "struggling" (or being bitter, for that matter, that was a joke), only that I understand that CPP conformance has also been an issue for CPP-libraries, similar to template implementation for template metaprogramming libraries.
