The latest version of the VMD library, version 1.7, has been released. The VMD library is an advanced macro preprocessor library using variadic macros to provide the ability to parse/identify various types of preprocessor data as well as emptiness. The library works well within constraints that the designer of macros may impose on the end-user. I have re-engineered the library to provide extensive functionality beyond what had been there before. In particular the library can parse/identify pp-identifiers, Boost PP numbers, Boost PP arrays, Boost PP lists, Boost PP seqs, Boost PP tuples, and empty data. The library is also capable of parsing a sequence of such preprocessor type above as a single paarameter. It also adds better variadic support for Boost PP ASSERTs as well as for generating empty data and invoking identity. The library makes it possible to design macros whose logic changes depending on what type of preprocessor data is input, within the constraints of the preprocessor data it can parse. The library is on Github at https://github.com/eldiener/variadic_macro_data.git as well as in the Boost Library Incubator at http://rrsd.com/blincubator.com/bi_library/vmd/?gform_post_id=908. The library is on the Boost review queue and I am looking for a review manager for the library. The library is designed to be added to modular-boost beneath the libs sub-directory and needs the 'develop' branch of Boost PP to work properly. Once Boost 1.56 is released I will be merging the 'develop' branch of Boost PP into the 'master' branch and VMD will then work with the latest Boost in 'master'. Instructions for using the library, regenerating documentation, and running the test are in the top-level *.txt files. The library works with gcc 3.3 on up, all versions of clang, and VC++ 8 on up. It should also work with the latest version(s) of Intel C++. I realize that preprocessor metaprogramming is not as interesting as template metaprogramming but if you are at all interested in what the preprocessor can do using varaiadic macros, please take a look at the VMD library. Questions, comments, and whatever other remarks are welcome both here in this mailing list and/or a the Boost Library Incubator sight. if you would be willing to serve as a Review Manager for the library feel free to contact me personally. I realize nearly everyone is busy with the 1.56 release but if you are interested and eventually have time to look at the VMD and critique it, it would be greatly appreciated by me. Thank you !
