I was just wondering if it is possible to get a modified, Boost licensed version of detail/endian.hpp into this next release? It'd be great to > get this licensing issue resolved in this next Boost version, if at all possible.

I don't know. I haven't been following that. Did anyone take responsibility for it?

It's highly unlikely. There is al alternative implementation in Boost Predef. But that isn't even fully accepted as a library. I could attempt to do a standalone port from Predef into detail/endian.hpp but I doubt I could both get it done and tested to a point that it would be safe to merge into release.

Hi,

I understand. I just wanted to make sure because I want to use Boost in a commercial product in the near future and I am not sure what the company will think about the ambiguity. I hope that it can be resolved - if not for the July release, then maybe for the one in November? Perhaps a ticket could be made for this?

Sure, creating a ticket would help at least in tagging it to a release milestone. But it will be resolved for the November release one way or another. -- -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - grafikrobot/yahoo
