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. Hi again, Would you mind creating that ticket, since you're the one with the potential solution? Thank you. Kind regards, Philip Bennefall
