44 | The experience of the maintenance of Boost Phoenix during 2014 and 2015. | |
45 | </p> | |
46 | <p> | |
47 | This section is being used to set out the maintenance policy for Boost Phoenix | |
48 | and how it is being carried out. One reason for doing this is that in January | |
49 | 2015 there is a lot of discussion within Boost about how best to do this. There | |
50 | are also a number of issues for which the answers are not clear to me and I | |
51 | am going to set those out here. | |
52 | </p> | |
53 | <p> | |
54 | Phoenix is a complicated library and the current version 3 is built on two | |
55 | other libraries <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/libs/proto/index.html" target="_top">Boost.Proto</a> | |
56 | and <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/libs/fusion/index.html" target="_top">Boost.Fusion</a> | |
57 | which are themselves quite complicated. Version 3 of Phoenix is a rebuilding | |
58 | of the previous version using <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/libs/proto/index.html" target="_top">Boost.Proto</a>. | |
59 | </p> | |
60 | <p> | |
61 | There are two ways to work with Phoenix. | |
62 | </p> | |
63 | <div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"> | |
64 | <li class="listitem"> | |
65 | One is to ignore the previous statement and assume everything works. | |
66 | </li> | |
67 | <li class="listitem"> | |
68 | The second is to understand the relationships between the libraries. | |
69 | </li> | |
70 | </ul></div> | |
71 | <p> | |
72 | Unfortunately, while most things now work, there are a number of subtle bugs | |
73 | where things do not work as expected, and that is the challenge which is there | |
74 | for the maintainer who did not write any version of the library. | |
