[...] My initial thought was to see if config could work with C compilers, but all investigation there has led me to believe that it would be too many unnecessary changes to config, would complicate config greatly, would need extensive testing against all compilers, and that since config is central to all of Boost such a potential massive change to it it is a bad idea.

What about simply wrapping everything in config, except the varadic stuff, in an "#ifdef __cplusplus"? It would be an unobtrusive change, and that define is required by every C++ standard I've seen (note: I've only seen working drafts, not the final copies, though I don't expect that part has changed). I know that even Borland's compilers (arguably the most problematic ones in common use today) have defined that since Turbo C++ 1.0 in the eighties. -- Chad Nelson Oak Circle Software, Inc. * * *
