Renaming/Cleanup

  1. The apply_if metafunction has been renamed to eval_if.

  2. All _backward algorithm counterparts have been renamed to use reverse_ prefix; e.g. fold_backward became reverse_fold.

  3. The <boost/mpl/aux_/has_xxx.hpp> header has been made public and became <boost/mpl/has_xxx.hpp>; correspondingly, the BOOST_MPL_NO_AUX_HAS_XXX macro was renamed to BOOST_MPL_CFG_NO_HAS_XXX.

  4. <boost/mpl/assert_is_same.hpp> header has been replaced by a more general <mpl/assert.hpp>; the new asserts provide a significantly higher-quality diagnostics. See the table below for new equivalents of the old macros:

    Before

    Now

    BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_IS_SAME(t1, t2)

    BOOST_MPL_ASSERT(( boost::is_same<t1,t2> ))

    BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_IS_NOT_SAME(t1, t2)

    BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_NOT(( boost::is_same<t1,t2> ))

    The "Macros/Asserts" section of the reference manual provides a complete formal specification of the new macros' semantics.

  5. All configuration macros have been renamed to include the CFG prefix; in particular, BOOST_MPL_NO_FULL_LAMBDA_SUPPORT has become BOOST_MPL_CFG_NO_FULL_LAMBDA_SUPPORT.

  6. The following public headers/components have been renamed or removed as obsolete:

    iterator_tag.hpp (renamed to iterator_tags.hpp)
    project1st.hpp
    project2nd.hpp
    select1st.hpp
    select2nd.hpp
