Compile error while trying to use describe on a class named D

[Julien-Blanc-tgcm]

The following code does not compile (g++ version 7-10, linux, -std=c++17 or gnu++14 for gcc7):

struct D {
        int a;
};
BOOST_DESCRIBE_STRUCT(D, (), (a))

It seems that the “D” name is somehow used in describe internals (macros), and as such, reserved. Describe should use longer names, and ideally prefixed one, such as DESCRIBE_INTERNAL_D (and document this) to avoid name clashes.

Good catch, thanks. I didn't want to use a long name because it's visible in the typeinfo of the descriptor list, but D is obviously unsuitable. I'll probably change it to _desc_ as a compromise. Unfortunately I'm not allowed to use a reserved name such as _D or __desc here, otherwise it would have been ideal.

Should be fixed now.
