I never finished developing proto-0x, but it was very close and is in fact very usable, albeit undocumented. I have no plans to finish it, having moved on to other things. Zack Laine developed a modern replacement for Boost.Proto, called YAP I think. I don't know the state of it, but I'm sure some Googling would reveal much.
Thank you, I will check it out as well as proto-0x. Do you still recommend the released boost proto, or do you feel it is too encumbered by legacy C++ cruft?
Boost.Proto is fine, but perhaps more heavyweight than necessary in today's C++. I know little about @tzlaine's YAP, except that Zach is a very capable dev. If I were to start writing an EDSL, I would begin there.
Will do, thank you and take care.
Hi, Eric. I'm interested in using boost proto for an EDSL. This youtube video of you describing proto-0x mentions to not bother with declaring "result_type" and some other boilerplate because it's no longer needed in proto-0x. The boost user guide for proto (copyright you 2008) still describes this "old" way of doing things without C++11 features. Did the C++11 version of proto ever get released, and did it get a user guide teaching the new ways of using it? Where's the right spot for me to study the most modern version of proto (or alternative)? Thanks.
