| The experience of the maintenance of Boost Phoenix during 2014 and 2015. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| This section is being used to set out the maintenance policy for Boost Phoenix |
| and how it is being carried out. One reason for doing this is that in January |
| 2015 there is a lot of discussion within Boost about how best to do this. There |
| are also a number of issues for which the answers are not clear to me and I |
| am going to set those out here. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Phoenix is a complicated library and the current version 3 is built on two |
| other libraries <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/libs/proto/index.html" target="_top">Boost.Proto</a> |
| and <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/libs/fusion/index.html" target="_top">Boost.Fusion</a> |
| which are themselves quite complicated. Version 3 of Phoenix is a rebuilding |
| of the previous version using <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/libs/proto/index.html" target="_top">Boost.Proto</a>. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| There are two ways to work with Phoenix. |
| </p> |
| <div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "> |
| <li class="listitem"> |
| One is to ignore the previous statement and assume everything works. |
| </li> |
| <li class="listitem"> |
| The second is to understand the relationships between the libraries. |
| </li> |
| </ul></div> |
| <p> |
| Unfortunately, while most things now work, there are a number of subtle bugs |
| where things do not work as expected, and that is the challenge which is there |
| for the maintainer who did not write any version of the library. |
