I would like to start the boost wave review in the next couple of days. If you would like to volunteer to be the review manager for this very intersting library, please contact me. Tom Brinkman at reportbase@yahoo.com Boost Review Wizard A short description of the library follows: The Wave C++ preprocessor library is a Standards conformant implementation of the mandated C99/C++ preprocessor functionality packed behind a simple to use interface, which integrates well with the well known idioms of the Standard Template Library (STL). It is not a monolitic application, it's rather a modular library, which exposes mainly a context object and an iterator interface. The context object helps to configure the actual preprocessing process (as search path's, predefined macros, etc.). The exposed iterators are generated by this context object too. Iterating over the sequence defined by the two iterators will return the preprocessed tokens, which are to be built on the fly from the given input stream. The C++ preprocessor iterator itself is fed by a C++ lexer iterator, which implements an abstract interface. The C++ lexers packaged with the Wave library may be used standalone, too, and are not tied to the C++ preprocessor iterator at all. The flexible interface exposed by the library makes it usable in a variety of applications ranging from simple lexing (tokenising) a C99/C++ input stream to complex preprocessing with fine control over the details of the macro expansion process. For instance it's very simple to inject your own #pragma handling into the preprocessing, allowing to expand it in virtually unlimited ways. The Wave C++ preprocessor library is known to be compilable on VC7.1, Intel7.1 and 8.0, gcc 3.2.x and 3.3.x. Work is currently underway to make it usable with VC6.5 as well. The library contains samples, which show different ways of it's usage. A full blown preprocessing command line oriented driver application is included in the Boost tools section as well. The review candidate version of Wave is accessible here: http://spirit.sourceforge.net/dl_more/wave-1.1.12.zip additionally it is included in the Boost-sandbox CVS. If you're interested in what's new or changed since the last releases, please refer to the enclosed documentation or the changelog file contained inside the archive. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
