I think that there are two problems: 1) Your scheme requires that all possible implementations can be parsed by the compiler - that won't be true for macros describing defects. 2) Your scheme can't cope with optional features (long long or <someheader.h>). Oh, and macros are probably simpler, if ugly. John. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
