That confuses me. The paper seems to be talking about modifying the C++ language. The title of the project, however, is "Modular C++ preprocessor", which is
* talking about a C++ preprocessor, not a C++ parser. * seems to imply that it's the preprocessor that is modular, not the thing it (pre)processes. (And, how does it related to boost.wave ?)
So what's the deal ?
You should read it as (Modular C++) preprocessor. C++ module files must be 'preprocessed' such that they are converted to C++ header files and C++ implementation files, which are fed to your compiler. Also, a 'module header' file is generated which can be used by other modules to learn about the public contents of a module. It relates to boost.spirit (not boost.wave) which is a parser framework, which will be used to read the module files.
