[predef][review-request] Requesting a review of Predef library submission..
I've completed doing a final pass at the documentation and code for the Predef library. And hence I'm requesting the library be placed in the review "queue" (aka the review bucket). For those who missed it.. The Predef library implements two simple tasks: 1. Definition of a single version number macro to provide consistent version number at the preprocessor level. 2. A collection of detected definitions for compilers, standard libraries, architectures, operating systems, and languages. Unlike the Boost Config Library it doesn't define language features and capabilities. But only defines presence of detected compilation context. Documentation and downloads are available in the sandbox.. * Documentation at <http://tinyurl.com/7yrodwx> * Subversion source at <http://tinyurl.com/75oggaq> * Zip with Windows EOLs at <http://tinyurl.com/6lt7pks> * Bz2 with Unix LF-EOLs at <http://tinyurl.com/73n6a3k> Rene. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail

I think this is a very good idea and would like to see your library reviewed and added to Boost Config if approved. Developers need a more consistent set of configuration macros to use in their code and your library provides it.

It's a very interesting library. Would you be willing to add more macros that detect more "exotic" machines, such as BlueGene L/P/Q and Crays? I have access to some of those machines for debugging :)

Of course I would willing. There's even a section in the docs on how to contribute new detection headers <http://tinyurl.com/8xwgffz>. Or if you don't feel up to it.. You could provide me with equivalent output of "touch empty.cpp; gcc -E -dM empty.cpp" (repeating for empty.c, empty.m, empty.mm.. or using the language option for the compiler if available). I can usually figure out a minimal set detection just from that output.

Hi Rene, I have received you request and will add it to the review queue. Best, Ron On Dec 17, 2011, at 2:44 AM, Rene Rivera wrote:
