AFAICT the name ftag should be changed to something more descriptive and more certainly unique, e.g. boost_fusion_iterator_tag. Is there a reason it needs to be so short? Why make such a trivial change to the interface post review? AFAICS now is too late, and will cause unnecessary pain to users.. like myself. Well, actually, it shouldn't be a part of the interface. Here, I'm used to calling it the f#%$tag :) It's not supposed to be for public consumption, and I intend to enforce that. Either way, it's not a good name (especially for minors. ;) and it must be changed. And BTW its pretty public in the 'make your own iterator" part of the docs. Yeah. That's unfortunate. I asked Dan to fix it. Anyway, I suggest you do the right thing: specialize tag_of.
AFAICS specialising tag_of don't seem to work with current CVS. I seem to need to put the intrusive fusion_tag F*tag in, then things work OK.
Also should I be specialising category_of or using a category F*tag ?
Keep rockin'.........
Dan told me that he actually fixed this f*tag already sometime ago. It was, in fact, already touched in the review. However, the change happened at a time when sourceforge had a failure (yeah I remember that). There were some changes lost and he had to recreate some from his local copy. Seems the f*tag issue was a victim of this outage. Please hang on. Dan is in vacation now, but he'll fix it as soon as he gets back. Anyway, I also have an iterator-adapter (iterator_facade), sequence_facade and view_facade in the works. With it, it is easier to write your own iterators, sequences and views. These will be built on top of the tag dispatching scheme. Keep rollin'.......... Regards, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boost-consulting.com http://spirit.sf.net
