I had a go at doing this myself. I got stuck at replacing
boost::iterator_adaptor and boost::iterator_facade. There are no C++11 standard
library equivalents. It is a non-trivial task to re-implement them or work
around the lack of those two boost features. To be honest, the cursory
examination I made of the yaml-cpp source had me lost as to how they are being
used exactly. There are quite a few levels of indirection in the implementation
of the iterators and I didn't have to time to dive too deeply into it.
The rest is trivial refactoring to use std::XXX instead of boost::XXX.

I agree. I think I'll do one more bug fix release with boost, and then bump the
first version number with the C++11 stuff.

Great thanks!
As I said in the comment, I had a brief attempt at doing it myself but got
lost in the boost::iterator code which I'm not at all familiar with.

Thank you. The big issue with me was the use of boost::shared_ptr since if you
mix boost shared pointers and std shared pointers they don't tend to get along
well.
As for iterator adaptor there's a C++11 library for that.

I don't know if that will do everything you need but it should solve at least
some of it.

Has this been done? Can you share your changes?

Hi,
sorry no, I've not done it all. The boost iterator_facade and
iterator_adaptor are pretty huge pieces of work and they don't really map
to std::iterator. I don't have the time to learn exactly what those two
boost classes do. Were you using them to implement simple forward iterators?

Nah, just wondering if someone had weaned yaml-cpp from Boost. I'll use
something else then.

Is there another c++ yaml library that's 1.2 compliant? I haven't found one.
I also tried replacing std::auto_ptr with std::unique_ptr but it's not a drop
in replacement as others have noted.

Nope, I’m using https://bitbucket.org/xi/libyaml/overview
I can’t afford to migrate this to C++11. I guess I’ll come back to this
project in the future.

It sounds like this is a fairly often-requested issue. I'll do this next time I
work on the library (O(weeks), hopefully).

So, what seems to be holding up the removal of boost from this project?

I'm going to release 0.5.2, and then do it.

A quick fix would be to include the required boost headers in the library, and
then migrate to C++11!
And if I would be the developer, I would make it like this:
<0.5: without C++11, without Boost(old API)
0.5: without C++11, with Boost(new API)
0.6: with C++11, without Boost(new API)

The plan is to use C++11 for 0.6.

I really need that update, since my project requires a YAML 1.2 parser in C++
WITHOUT Boost!
Can you tell me when 0.6 will be released?

I would prefer C++11 too, as introducing boost only for yaml-cpp is not
affordable for me. The main issue is to find a boost::iterator equivalent way.

This is going to happen, but more comments will not make it go faster. (I have
a full-time job, a life, etc.) Please just star the issue to indicate your
support.

Now that Google Code is going to happen, please don't forget to post the
address of this project on github (?) so we can keep track of this issue (and
others of the issues they opened).
