[mpl] Is BOOST_MPL_PP_TOKEN_EQUAL publicly usable ?
Dear Boost.MPL developers, I was coming up to something really similar to BOOST_MPL_PP_TOKEN_EQUAL ( http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_57_0/boost/mpl/aux_/preprocessor/token_equal... ) in Boost.Fusion to fix warnings that my changes generate in MSVC 8 ( As discussed on this list as *[boost] MSVC warnings for BOOST_PP_IS_EMPTY in Boost.Phoenix* ) Instead of having a second implementation of the same macro within Boost.Fusion, is it ok if I use BOOST_MPL_PP_TOKEN_EQUAL from MPL ? I'm asking this because it isn't documented anywhere and is in mpl/include/boost/mpl/aux_/preprocessor/token_equal.hpp which sounds like a private header. Possibly there are reasons for not being documented ? Cheers, -- Damien Buhl

This is enough indication that it is private. That said, I don't think MPL is going to change significantly any time soon, so it's probably safe to use it.

Yes, but as there is an unit-test for it and that there is a comment presenting it's use it could also be that nobody got the time to write a documentation chapter about it. Otherwise I have a similar implementation now, but I would find it bad to duplicate implementations, as we anyway already depend on MPL in Boost.Fusion.
