[typeof] native implementation for msvc 8.0
AMDG The following hack works with msvc 8.0 It appears that using another specialization of msvc_extract_type tricks the compiler's filter. #elif BOOST_WORKAROUND(BOOST_MSVC,==1400) struct msvc_extract_type_default_param {}; template<typename ID, typename T = msvc_extract_type_default_param> struct msvc_extract_type; template<typename ID> struct msvc_extract_type<ID, msvc_extract_type_default_param> { template<bool> struct id2type_impl; typedef id2type_impl<true> id2type; }; template<typename ID, typename T> struct msvc_extract_type : msvc_extract_type<ID, msvc_extract_type_default_param> { template<> struct id2type_impl<true> //VC8.0 specific bugfeature { typedef T type; }; template<bool> struct id2type_impl; typedef id2type_impl<true> id2type; }; template<typename T, typename ID> struct msvc_register_type : msvc_extract_type<ID, T> { }; # else ...

That may take some time... The last regression tests on HEAD for VC8.0 was run Mon, 4 Dec 2006 23:51:21 +0000 Seems like all efforts are on testing the release branch... But I agree, this is a relatively low risk, high gain change. If it breaks regressions on the release branch, we can always revert it. I guess it is up to Thomas... Regards, Peder

IANTRM (I am not the release manager), but I would STRONGLY discourage taking any changes into 1.34 that are not critical bug fixes. IMO, we need to be much more hard-core about feature freezes that we have been to date. This will be a wonderful feature -- for 1.35. -- Eric Niebler Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com

I agree with Eric. The problem is that it is hard to define which we should allow and which we should not. I think going strict is the right way to go now and in the future.

Certainly. I think it is also possible to release incremental updates after 1.34. I hope Beman's new release procedure (in the making) allows such incremental releases. Regards, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boost-consulting.com http://spirit.sf.net

In short this is a no-go, for reasons already mentioned.
Maybe we should make the "patch" available in the file vault (and maybe even mention about it in the docs/release notes).
I think this is significant enough to merit both of these - and to trigger an immediate release of 1.34.1 including just this addition. Of course, we also need to completely alter our release process as Beman says.
