Re: [boost] Attn: Maintainer of boost/bind.hpp

...

In boost/bind.hpp there is injection of a boost namespace contents into the global namespace:

Including doesn't bring the placeholders into the global namespace; if you don't want them there, just include . does for backward compatibility.

Unfortunately, some of the Boost libraries include , and thus pollute the global namespace.

...

Please fix this in the next release of Boost.

Breaking code without any warning is not a good practice, but I'll mark as deprecated to allow people time to migrate.

Personally speaking, I think the macro `BOOST_BIND_NO_PLACEHOLDERS` needs to become `BOOST_BIND_ENABLE_GLOBAL_PLACEHOLDERS`. People can still use , but they'll need to explicitly opt into the old behaviour. (This will also encourage the maintainers of those libraries depending on global placeholders to fix their libraries) Niall
