Like "visitor", "actor" comes with lots of baggage that we don't want: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actor_model Besides, as these things define algorithms, a name that's a verb would be better (std::transform, std::accumulate, etc. are verbs). How about "evaluate": proto::evaluate<char_terminal, my_actions>()(a); ? -- Eric Niebler BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com _______________________________________________ proto mailing list proto@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/proto
