The Cxx dual library, or CXXD for short, is a C++ macro header-only
library which chooses between using a Boost library or its C++ standard
equivalent library for a number of different C++ implementations, while
using the same code to program either choice. An 'implementation',
called a 'dual library', is a Boost library which has a C++ standard
library equivalent whose public interfaces are nearly the same in both
cases.
I have updated the Cxx dual library, for those who prefer to minimize
their use of macros in source code, by providing an alternate method to
the use of macros for including the appropriate header files and
specifying the appropriate namespace for a dual library. In this
alternate method including the appropriate header files is done by
including an implementation header file, and specifying the appropriate
namespace is done by using a C++ namespace alias. The alternate method,
called the alias mode, is fully documented.
You can get the latest version of the Cxx dual library at
https://github.com/eldiener/cxx_dual. Instructions for using the library
are in the README.md file. PDF documentation is available in
cxx_dual.pdf, HTML doc is availavble online at
http://eldiener.github.io/cxx_dual and you can generate local HTML
documentation using the doc jam file.
Questions, comments, bug reports are always welcome.
