I'm seeing that Fusion has not been updated with fixes for #5010https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/5010#comment:24a *3* *year old(!)* bug, that is reported as fixed. Why is this? From what I can tell, changeset #4441 https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/84441fixes the issues I ran into, but the 1.55beta package doesn't reflect this...

Please download the beta, give it a try, and report any problems you encounter.

Thanks,

You'll have better results resending this with a more appropriate subject line, including "[fusion]".

It's about this release, and how disconnected maintainers have become from new releases. Anyways, this bug reaches everything that touches boost fusion, which is unfortunately and confusingly quite alot. I've brought this silly nil problem up so many times that its just frustrating at this point.

Unfortunately, Objective C also uses Nil. It seems that it has 4 different null pointers. There's a workaround in trunk in the changeset that was mentioned: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/84441

Alright. If the release managers will allow, I'll merge this changeset to release then.

Sure, it's fine.

That looks like the change I was after, thank you. Let's just hope no others creep up... believe me I wish apple didn't make that move just as much as you do, but what can one do when writing cross-platform software. cheers, Rich On Fri, Oct 11, 2013 at 9:38 PM, Joel de Guzman wrote:

Done. To Rich E and all those who need the Nil/nil patch, please check the release branch now to make sure all is OK.
