Re: [boost] Macros at namespace scope: trailing semicolon?

I'm against just about anything that attempts to make a macro invocation look more like regular code. This is nothing but a workaround for an editor (of all things). The macro invocation is not a declaration, it does not fit into the syntax model of C++, and it should not be made to look like it does--regardless of what it expands to.

I understand your reasoning, but this argument on principle seems to be outweighed by too many practical considerations. Can you argue against any of those? -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
