Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #393: boost::blank - missing operators https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/393 <pre class="wiki">Main issue: boost::blank !=, &gt;, etc... not defined (only == and &lt;) I'd like to replace adobe::empty_t &lt;http://opensource.adobe.com/ structadobe_1_1empty__t.html&gt; with boost::blank, but can't because of the lack of these operators. Minor issues: boost::blank is a poor name given the use of blank in the regex library. There does not appear to be any formal documentation for boost:: blank - (an index for boost would be very helpful). </pre> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/393 Trac 1.4.3 ebf Tue, 11 Oct 2005 06:28:41 GMT <link>https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/393#comment:1 </link> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/393#comment:1</guid> <description> <pre class="wiki">Logged In: YES user_id=120427 I'll get to this in a few days, or else you can make the changes yourself and I will 'approve' them. The difference should really be quite minor. As for the name, I'm not sure I agree there is confusion with the use of blank in regex, but my experience with that library is limited so you may need to explain further. In any case, I do not like 'empty' as a name for the type, though in fact it used to be called just that before acceptance in Boost. Documentation. I don't have time for this right now though it would be quite trivial. All instances are 'equal' to each other, but other than that the type by design does nothing. </pre> </description> <category>Ticket</category> </item> <item> <dc:creator>sean_parent</dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 12 Oct 2005 05:48:02 GMT</pubDate> <title/> <link>https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/393#comment:2 </link> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/393#comment:2</guid> <description> <pre class="wiki">Logged In: YES user_id=1227609 No rush - (I haven't contributed to boost directly yet so I'll let you go ahead and do it).
