Re: [boost] Interest for C++20 modules support of boost officially

Wouldn't you need to still ifdef-out your includes?

Yes. While it seems like it would be nice for 'export' to be ignorable, I don't really see that it would make much of a difference to how easily a library can be modularized. Especially given that we have export blocks, so it's not necessary to put a macro in front of every individual declaration anyway. On Thu, 19 Dec 2024 at 20:36, Ruben Perez via Boost wrote:

extra things: - In headers, add a macro (assume its name as BOOST_MODULE_EXPORT, which will be ‘export’ conditionally) to the entities that need to be exported.

Would have been nice if the `export` keyword was accepted and silently ignored when outside of module.
