-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TODO (known issues):
- Fix expansion of macros, which replacement-list terminates in a partial 
  macro expansion.
- Fix the re2c lexer for iterators others then string::iterator (or more 
  generally for iterators, which aren't random access iterators)
- Try to remove the second parameter from the pp_iterator<>::force_include
  function.
- Fix the trigraph backslash problem in the re2c (C/C++ and IDL) scanners, if 
  there is the end of the (internal) buffer just in between a '??/' and a '\n'.
  
- Do a sourceforge release.

Thu Apr  7 10:07:45 WEDT 2005
Version 1.1.16
- Fixed a bug in the white space eating component, which prevented a C++ 
  comment to be suppressed if it followed after another whitespace.
- Fixed the inconsistencies between the documentation and the behaviour wrt the 
  different include search paths. See the Wave driver docs for details of how
  the '-I', '-I-', and '-S' options work.
- Allowed to specify more than one config file ('@' syntax) on the command line
  of the wave driver executable.
- Changed copyrights in all files to reflect the acceptance of Wave into Boost.
- Unknown preprocessing directives were not recognised as such anymore.
- If comments shouldn't be preserved all C++ comments are replaced by newline
  tokens (instead of beeing igored completely).
- Fixed a bug in the white space eater component.
- Fixed a bug which reported wrong line numbers for error encountered during 
  retokenisation (concatination).
- Fixed a bug in the unescaping code.
- Fixed a compilation error of the testwave executable (added a missing 
  namespace specifier).
- Added a missing header to make cpp.re.cpp compile on CW.
- The predefined macro __BASE_FILE__ now returns a properly escaped file name 
  string.
- Fixed the function boost::wave::util::impl::unescape_lit().
- Added the Wave unit test framework. For now it contains about 60 unit tests
  executed by a special test driver (testwave).
- Added the '$F' replacement string to the testwave application. This allows
  to handle file paths sensitive comparison of the expected and real results.
- Fixed a minor problem in the whitespace eating component.
- Added optional trigraph conversion.
- Changed all size_t, time_t etc. to std::size_t, std::time_t etc (for CW).
- If the comments should not be preserved every C comment containing at minimum 
  one newline is now converted to a newline token.
- Added the lexed_tokens sample.
- Fixed warnings and errors reported by the CodeWarrior compiler.
- Added the '$V' replacement string to the testwave application. It expands to 
  the current BOOST_LIB_VERSION.
- Diagnosed the attempt to redefine the alternative operators as and, or etc.
- Improved error handling.
- Disabled the flex_string class for VC7, enabled to fallback to std::string 
  for this compiler.
- Renamed files to comply with the Boost rules.
- Added the first part of the MCPP validation suite to the Wave unit tests.
- Added even more missing "using namespace std;" staements for functions from
  the C runtime library. The Wave test suite now contains more than 100 unit
  tests.
- Added the $P/$P(basename) replacement string to the testwave application 
  which expands to the full path of the current file ($P) or to the current 
  directory/basename ($P(basename)).
- Fixed a bunch of portability problmes revealed by the regression tests on
  different platforms. Thanks to Stefan Slapeda for his support to make it work
  on the cw-9_4 toolset (win32).
  
Tue Mar 22 14:52:45 WEST 2005
Version 1.1.15
- Fixed a bug where the complete set of C99 predefined macros were pre-defined
  when in C++ mode and variadics were enabled.
- When in variadics or C99 mode the __BASE_FILE__ predefined macro expanded to
  <Unknown>.
- Added the --listincludes option to the Wave driver executable which allows to
  log the file names of the include files opened.
- Fixed a gcc warning in token_cache.hpp (unused variable end).
- Changed the logic behind #include_next. It now starts searching with the 
  next directory after the directory the current file (the file containing the 
  #include_next directive) is located in.
- Changed the signature of the undefined_macro preprocessing hook to take the 
  token itself and not the macro name only. This is important to pass the full
  context information about the position of the #undef directive to the 
  user provided hook (thanks to Stefan Seefeld for pointing that out).
- Fixed several broken links in the Context Policy topic.
- Fixed a bug in the handling of the #include_next directive inside of 
  non-evaluated #if blocks.
- Fixed a bug in the #include_next handling code (thanks to Stefan Seefeld).
- Changed the signature of the opened_include_file() preprocessing hook which 
  now receives not only the absolute file name of the openend include file but
  additionally gets passed the (possibly) relative path of the openend include
  file. This concrete format of the relative path depends on the format of the
  include search directory given to the library.
- Added a new preprocessing hook 'found_include_directive()' which gets called
  for every #include directive (even for those where the file to include 
  doesn't exist) and which gets passed the (expanded) token sequence found 
  after the #include directive token.
- The file names passed to the preprocessing hooks are now normalised.
- Changed the opened_include_file() preprocessing hook to receive the correct
  relative path even if the included file was found in the current directory.
- Fixed a bug which reported 'defined(or)' as invalid (similarly all the other
  alternative bit operation token types).
- Fixed a bug which prevented to define variadic macros from the command line.
- Added a 'preserve comments' mode to preserve the comments in the input stream
  not inserted into macro definitions.
- Added a new --preserve (-p) command line switch to the wave driver 
  application to allow comments to be preserved in the generated output stream.

Version 1.1.14 (Fixes in response to the Boost review)

Wave was accepted into Boost! 

With special thanks to Tom Brinkman, who volunteered to be the review manager.

With thanks to David Abrahams, Beman Dewes, Reece Dunn, Larry Evans, 
Doug Gregor, Joel de Guzman, Baptiste Lepilleur, Andy Little, Paul Mensonides, 
Dan Nuffer, Andreas Pokorny, Vladimir Prus, Gennadiy Rozental, Michiel Salters, 
Jonathan Turkanis, Chris Uzdavinis, Pavel Vozenilek, Michael Walter for bug 
reports, fixes and hints.

- Added support for the MS extensions #region and #endregion, which simply get
  ignored by Wave. The support for these is enabled only, when the pp constant
  BOOST_WAVE_SUPPORT_MS_EXTENSIONS is defined. Otherwise these get flagged as 
  an illegal preprocessor directive (as before).
- Fixed a problem, where the replacement text for a #pragma directive got lost
  if this directive was on the last line of a processed (include-)file.
- Changed the default value for BOOST_WAVE_SUPPORT_MS_EXTENSIONS for non-
  Windows systems to zero.
- Updated outdated external links in the documentation.
- Fixed certain grammatical and stylistic quirks in the documentation.
- Fixed a problem in libs/wave/build/Jamfile.v2 (as reported by Larry Evans).
  Fixed the Jamfile.v2 in the samples directories accordingly.
- Added the '<toolset>vc-7_1:<rtti>off' to all Jamfile.v2 files to adjust for 
  the internal buffer overflow bug in the VC7.1 compiler (reported by Joel de 
  Guzman).
- Changed the '<toolset>vc-7_1:<rtti>off' to '<toolset>vc-7.1:<rtti>off' as
  required by the Boost.Build.v2 library (suggested by Vladimir Prus).
- Finally fixed the Jamfile.v2 file (after a suggestion from Reece Dunn)
- Fixed the column number reported for tokens for Slex lexer based 
  configurations (reported by Baptiste Lepilleur).
- Added the __BASE_FILE__ predefined macro, which contains a string literal 
  of the main file name to preprocess (the one the context<> template was
  created with). (suggested by Pavel Vozenilek)
- Used the boost::reverse_iterator instead of the std::reverse_iterator
  for the flex_string class to allow compilation of Wave with VC7.0
  (as suggested by Reece Dunn).
- Fixed a problem in the include_path template, which throwed a 
  boost::filesystem exception whenever a character was used in a file name
  to include, which is marked as illegal by the default name checker of the
  boost::filesystem::path.
  
Version 1.1.13 (Boost review candidate 2, bug fixed version)
- Fixed a problem, where the context<> template referenced temporary iterator
  objects from the underlying stream (thanks to Michiel Salters for reporting
  this).
- Fixed a bug in the re2c lexer, which allowed to dereference the end iterator 
  of the underlying input stream (thanks to Doug Gregor for pointing this out).
- Fixed several assertions fired by the iterator checking code of the VC8 stl.

Version 1.1.12 (Boost review candidate)
- A rough performance analysis showed, that 30% of the time is spent parsing 
  the input for pp directives (cpp_grammar), 35% of the time is spent inside
  the flex_string code, mainly in the copy constructor and assignment 
  operator, 15% of the time is spent inside the list and vector member 
  functions, 10% is spent for memory allocation but only 1% of the time is 
  spent in the re2c lexer.
- Identified a performance problem, where the token_cache was instantiated
  for every created lexer object, but needed to be initialised only once.
- Added #include <wave_version.hpp> to wave_config.hpp
- Fixed problems reported by the gcc 3.4.1 compiler.
- Adjusted Jamfiles for the new toolset names introduced in Boost V1.32.

Version 1.1.11
- Updated copyrights.
- Fixed some bugs introduced by the latest refactoring.
- Tried to fix the expansion of macros, which replacement-list terminates in a 
  partial macro expansion. No success so far.

Version 1.1.10
- Refactored some of the macro map (macro namespace) code (added comments, 
  splitted into separate files),
- Fixed some typename errors in cpp_macromap.hpp (thanks to Vladimir Prus).
- Fixed the BoostBuild V2 Jamfiles (thanks to Vladimir Prus).

Version 1.1.9
- Moved all of the #pragma wave option(value) operators out of the wavelib into 
  the wave driver program. Removed enable_trace() and trace_flags() policy
  functions. Renamed trace_policy into context_policy.
- Added the defined_macro() and undefined_macro() preprocessing hooks to allow
  easily to build macro cross referencers and such.

Version 1.1.8
- Replaced the usage of the string::erase() and string::insert() functions, 
  which were the only non-const string member functions used.
- Token pasting is now well defined in variadics mode (was in C++0x mode only).
- Changed the timing code in the wave driver to include the parsing of 
  files included by the --forceinclude command line switch.
- Performance measurements (very informal) [sec], the files are some of the
  preprocessor specific test cases from Paul Mensonides chaos_pp library.

Wed Aug 25 13:23:27 WEDT 2004
Version 1.1.7
- Branched for Boost Release.
- Removed several features from the code base:
  . removed C++0x support
  . removed TST support
- Fixed the program_option validator syntax, which has changed since the last 
  update.
- Removed misleading configuration options from the cpp_config.hpp file, 
  because the application will have to use the same config options as were used
  during the compilation of the library.
- Changed the naming convention of typedef'd types in the library. Removed the 
  _t suffix, wherever possible.
- Updated the documentation to reflect the removal of the C++0x features.

- Changed the licensing scheme to:
// Copyright 2004 Joe Coder. Distributed under the Boost
// Software License, Version 1.0. (See accompanying file
// LICENSE_1_0.txt or copy at http://www.boost.org/LICENSE_1_0.txt)

Mon May 24 10:02:47 WEDT 2004
Version 1.1.6
- Fixed a incompatibility with the new program_options version.

Version 1.1.5
Version 1.0.6
- Fixed a bug, which reported an #include statement as ill formed, if it was 
  followed by an empty C comment only. This was an error in the cpp.re regular 
  expression for C comments. Additionally, since this change simplified the 
  Re2C generated lexer a lot it was possible to remove the compiler workaround 
  for the VC7.1 compiler which prevented the optimization of this lexer.
  
Mon Mar 29 09:36:59 WEDT 2004
- Corrected the signature of the main() functions (was main(int, char const*[])).

Sun Mar 28 12:55:59 WEDT 2004
Version 1.1.4
- Fixed a problem, where the first returned token was lost, whenever a 
  --forceinclude file was given.
- Adjusted the Wave driver and the other samples to use the new program_options 
  library syntax (V1.1.x only).
  
Mon Mar  1 19:14:21 WEST 2004
Version 1.1.2
Version 1.0.4
- Fixed a problem, which does not report an error, if in a #define statement in 
  between a macro name and its replacement list were no whitespace given.
- Fixed a bug, which generated an unexpected exception of the $ character in the 
  input.
- Macro definitions, which differ by whitespace only (one definition contains 
  whitespace at a certain position, the other definition does not) are correctly 
  reported as a warning now.
- Fixed a problem, where different formal argument names during macro 
  redefinition were not flagged as a warning.
- A wide character string used in a #line directive wasn't flagged as an error. 
  
Sun Feb 29 19:10:14 WEST 2004
Used the test suite distributed with the mcpp V2.4 preprocessor to fix a bunch
of mostly minor issues:
- Fixed trigraph backslash followed by a newline handling (??/ \n) in the 
  re2c (C/C++ and IDL) scanners.
- Fixed a digraph/trigraph token type handling problem during macro expansion.
- Fixed a digraph/trigraph token type problem during handling of the null 
  preprocessor directive.
- Fixed several signed/unsigned conversion bugs in the expression evaluator.
- Fixed the || and && operators in the expression evaluator to stop evaluation,
  as only the outcome of the overall expression is determined.
- Fixed the expression evaluation engine to detect divide by zero errors.
- Fixed a bug with operator || and && arithmetic (the deduced type was wrong).
- Fixed a bug with the unary operators ! and - which IN conjunction with an 
  arithmetic operation yielded A wrong result type.
- Fixed a bug, which reported a macro definition as an invalid redefinition, if
  it was different from the original definition only by different whitespaces.
- Fixed a bug, which reported the redefinition of one of the alternative tokens
  as 'and', 'bit_and' etc. as invalid.
- Fixed a bug in the character literal parser, which prevented the recognition
  of multibyte character literals.

- Moved the cpp_token_ids.hpp header into the main wave.hpp header, because the
  values defined therein aren't changeable by the user anyway.
- Fixed some spelling errors in the documentation (thanks to Rob Stewart).

Tue Feb  3 20:20:16 WEST 2004
- Fixed the problem, that macro definitions in a config file were flagged as 
  an error, if there was any whitespace in between the -D and the macro name
  (same problem existed for -P).
  
Fri Jan 30 20:28:27 WEST 2004
- Fixed a missing boostification in the trace support header.
- Added a missing std:: namespace qualification to the list_includes.cpp sample 
  file.
- Fixed line ending problems with the cpp.re and idl.re files.
- Added quick_start sample.

Sun Jan 25 20:26:45 WEST 2004
This version was submitted to Boost as the review candidate (V1.1.0)
- Fixed invalid explicit instantiation syntax as reported by the Comeau 
  compiler.
- Added a missing header to flex_string.hpp.

Sat Jan 24 19:47:44 WEST 2004
- Completely decoupled the used lexer from the preprocessor.
- Unfortunately had to change the template interface of the context class. It 
  now instead of the token type takes the type of the lexer to use.
- Reintroduced the cpp_tokens, list_includes and waveidl samples. 
  . cpp_tokens is based on the SLex lexer
  . list_includes shows the usage of the include file tracing capability
  . waveidl uses the Re2C based IDL lexer in conjunction with the default token
    type
  
Tue Jan 13 20:43:04 WEST 2004
- Fixed several compilation issues under linux (gcc 3.2.3, gcc 3.3, gcc 3.3.2, 
  gcc 3.4, Intel V7.1)
- Fixed a compatibility problem with Spirit versions older than V1.7.

Mon Jan 12 20:39:50 WEST 2004
- Boostified the code base:
  . Moved code into namespace boost.
  . Prefixed all pp constants with "BOOST_".
  . Refactured the directory structure.
- Removed IDL mode and SLex lexer from the code base. These will be re-added as 
  samples.
- Changed the Wave configuration system to be more flexible (all 
     #if defined(BOOST_WAVE_...) changed to #if BOOST_WAVE_... != 0),
  which allows to configure the library without changing the code base itself
  
Sat Jan 10 18:17:50 WEST 2004
- Incorporated Andrei Alexandrescu's latest changes to the flex_string class, 
  which resulted in an overall spedd gain of about 5-10%.
  
Wed Jan  7 17:46:45 WEST 2004
- Found a major performance hole! The achieved general speedup is about 50-70%.
- Added missing old MS specific extensions to the re2c lexer (_based, 
  _declspec, _cdecl, _fastcall, _stdcall, _inline and _asm).
- Added support for #include_next (as implemented by gcc).
- Fixed compilation problems with gcc 3.3.1
- Avoid to look up in symbol table of a potential macro name twice.
- Added the Spirit SLex lexer sample to the Wave source tree, because it was 
  removed from the Spirit distribution.
- Removed the configuration option, which allowed to reverse the names stored 
  in the symbol tables.
- Implemented experimental support for using a TST (ternary search tree) as the
  container for the symbol tables.
   
Sun Jan  5 12:30:50     2004
- Released V1.0.0

Sun Jan  4 00:11:50     2004
- Removed tabs from the flex_string.hpp file.
- Modified the input_functor.hpp file to sqeeze out some milliseconds at 
  runtime.
- The --timer option now prints the overall elapsed time even if an error 
  occured.
- Added support for #pragma once.

Fri Jan  2 22:58:54     2004
- Fixed a bug in the code, which predefines the preprocessor constants.
- Fixed a bug in intlit_grammar<> initialisation code.

Thu Jan  1 21:15:03     2004
- Fixed a bug while predefining a macro with a value through the commmand line.
- Fixed a bug, which reported a macro definition as illegal, if the redefined 
  macro was a function like macro with parameters.
- Fixed a bug, if concatenation of two tokens resulted in a C++ comment start 
  token.
  
Thu Jan  1 15:01:54     2004
- Finished license migration.

Wed Dec 31 12:23:55     2003
- Changed the copyright and licensing policiy to be Boost compatible.

Wed Dec 31 12:01:14     2003
- Fixed a problem while compiling certain headers from the Microsoft Windows 
  SDK:
        #define CreateWindowA(lpClassName, lpWindowName, dwStyle, x, y,\
        nWidth, nHeight, hWndParent, hMenu, hInstance, lpParam)\
        CreateWindowExA(0L, lpClassName, lpWindowName, dwStyle, x, y,\
        nWidth, nHeight, hWndParent, hMenu, hInstance, lpParam)
  where essentially is no whitespace between the parameter list and the macro
  replacement list.
- Fixed a problem with the MS extension __declspec, which now is recognized
  correctly.
  
Sat Dec 27 14:48:29     2003
- Fixed remaining problems with assign/assign_a.
- Fixed some gcc warnings about signed/unsigned comparision mismatch.

Tue Nov 11 20:51:41 WEST 2003
- Changed the IDL mode to recognize identifiers only. All keywords (except 
  'true' and 'false') are returned as identifiers. This allows for easy 
  extension of the IDL language. The drawback is, that after preprocessing 
  there needs to be just another lexing stage, which recognizes the keywords.
- Fixed a possible problem, when in between a #if/#elif directive and a 
  subsequent opening parenthesis Wave finds no whitespace:
    #if(_WIN_VER >= 0x0500)
  is now recognized correctly. 
  (This problem was pointed out by Porter Schermerhorn).
  
Sun Nov  9 21:05:23 WEST 2003
- Started to work on implementation of an IDL lexer for the TAO idl compiler.
  . Branched off the Re2C C++ lexer and related files as a starting point for 
    the new IDL lexer. Added connfiguration means to allow compile time
    decision, in which mode to operatoe (C++ or IDL).
  . Implemented the Re2C based IDL lexing component.
  . Fixed all occurences of non-IDL tokens (as T_COLON_COLON and T_ELLIPSIS)

Sat Nov  8 20:05:52 WEST 2003
- Version 1.0.0
- Munged the email addresses embedded within the source files.
- Adjusted for the new actor names in Spirit (assign_a and append_a).

Thu Aug 21 16:54:20     2003
- Removed the internally used macro 'countof()' to avoid possible nameclashes 
  with user code.
- Fixed a bug, which prevented the execution of the concatination operator '##'
  while expanding object-like macros.
  
Tue Aug  5 10:04:00     2003
- Fixed a false assertion, if a #pragma directive started with some whitespace 
  on the line.
- Added the #pragma wave timer() directive to allow rough timings during 
  processing. This is done on top of a new callback hook for unrecognized 
  #pragma's, which allows to easily add new pragma commands without changing 
  the Wave library.
- Fixed a bug in the whitespace insertion engine, which prevented the insertion 
  of a whitespace token in between two consecutive identifier tokens or a 
  integer literal token followed by an identifier token.
- Fixed a bug during macro concatenation, which allowed to concatenate 
  unrelated tokens from the input stream:
    #define CAT(a, b) PRIMITIVE_CAT(a, b)
    #define PRIMITIVE_CAT(a, b) a ## b
    #define X() B
    #define ABC 1
    CAT(A, X() C) // AB C
    CAT(A, X()C)  // correct: AB C, was 1
- Fixed a 64 bit portability problem.
- Added pragma wave timer(suspend) and wave timer(resume)
- Fixed a ODR problem with static initialization data for predefined macros.
- Ported the iterators to the new iterator_adaptors.
- Updated the documentation to reflect the recent changes

Sun Jun 29 12:35:00     2003
- Fixed 64 bit compatibility warnings.
- Fixed a bug, which prevented the correct recognition of a #line directive, if
  only the filename part of this directive was generated by a macro expansion.
- Fixed a bug during macro expansion of conditional expressions, which 
  prevented the correct expansion of certain scoped macros.
  
Fri Jun 27 09:50:14     2003
- Changed the output of the overall elapsed time (option --timer) to cerr.
- Added a configuration constant WAVE_REVERSE_MACRONAMES_FOR_SYMBOLTABLE, which
  reverses the macro names while storing them into the symbol table, which 
  allows to speed up name lookup especially, if the macro names are very long
  and if these share a common prefix.
- Fixed a very subtle bug, which prevented the recognition of fully qualified
  macro names during the macro expansion of conditionals expressions (for 
  #if/#elif).
- Improved the error output for the illformed pp expression error.
  
Thu Jun 26 08:20:30     2003
- Done a complete spell check of the source code comments.

Wed Jun 25 20:33:52     2003
- Changed the conditional expression engine to work with integer numeric 
  literals only. Distinguished signed and unsigned literals.
- Importing a region twice is allowed now.
- Fixed a bug, which does not removed all placeholder tokens from a expanded 
  token sequence while evaluating conditional expressions (C++0x mode only).

Wed Jun 25 15:01:51     2003
- Changed the conditional expression engine to respect the type of numeric 
  literals, now expressions like '#if 1 / 10 == 0' evaluate correctly (to true
  :-)
- Fixed a bug, where macro names referring to global macros (as ::A::B) were 
  not correctly recognized under certain circumstances.
- Empty parameter lists for macros with ellipses only sometimes generated a 
  placemarker token in the output:
    #define STR(...) #__VA_ARGS__
    STR()   // resulted in "�" instead of "" .

Wed Jun 25 08:35:06     2003
- Fixed several gcc compilation errors (missing typename's etc.)
- Fixed a compilation problem, if Wave is built on top of the SLEX scanner.
- Reformatted the --timer output from pure seconds to a more reasonable format.

Fri Jun 20 19:33:30     2003
- Changed the enable_tracing function of the tracing_policies to take a 
  trace_flags variable instead of a bool, to allow to control tracing with more
  granulation.
- Added the tracing_enabled function to the tracing_policies, which returns the 
  current tracing status.
- Updated the documentation of the tracing policies.

Thu Jun 19 21:45:39     2003
- Reactivated the list_includes sample with the help of the new include file 
  tracing facility.

Thu Jun 19 17:55:35     2003
- Eliminated the TraceT template parameter from the macromap<> template.
- Added two hooks to the trace policy to allow to trace the opening and 
  closing of include files.

Thu Jun 19 14:08:10     2003
- Added the command line option --timer, which enables the output to std::cout
  of the overall elapsed time during the preprocessing of the given file.

Fri Jun 13 09:11:29     2003
- Emitted an error message, if an ellipses was found as a formal macro 
  parameter and variadics were disabled.
- Fixed a false error message, that the last line was not terminated with a 
  newline, which occured, if no output was generated by the last line of the
  source file.
  
Thu Jun 12 15:20:22     2003
- Fixed the recent change in argument expansion for the variadics/C99/C++0x 
  mode.
- Fixed a problem, where an additional whitespace between _Pragma and the 
  opening parenthesis resulted in a false error message.
- Used a pool allocator for the token sequence containers (std::list<>'s),
  which gives a speed gain of more than 60% (while profiling the Order 
  library).
  
Wed Jun 11 22:18:54     2003
- Fixed a macro scoping/expansion problem, when a macro returned a full scope
  which is continued on the call site to form a full qualified name, the name 
  wasn't recognized correctly:
    # region A
    #  define MACRO 1
    #  region B
    #   define MACRO 2
    #  endregion
    # endregion
    # define ID(x) x
    ID(A)::MACRO     // 1
    ID(A::B)::MACRO  // 2, was expanded to A::B::MACRO
- Changed the expansion of macro arguments such, that these will be expanded 
  only, if the result is to be used for substitution during the expansion
  of the replacement list.
  
Wed Jun 11 14:40:29     2003
- Included a whitespace eating finite state machine (FSM) for minimal 
  whitespace in the generated output. This was suggested by Paul Mensonides.
- Updated the acknowledgement section

Wed Jun  4 08:03:04     2003
- Fixed a bug reported by Faisal Vali, which prevented the correct evaluation 
  of conditional expressions, if these referenced macro names, which expanded 
  to a sequence containing non-expandable tokens.
- Fixed the above bug for #elif directives too (in the first place this was 
  fixed for #if directives only)
  
Mon May 26 22:15:40     2003
- Added missing copyrights in several files.
- Fixed false output, if a unknown _Pragma were encountered.
- Fixed a macro expansion problem with qualified names, were constructs like
  the following were not expanded correctly:
    #define ID(x) x
    #region SCOPE
    #  define TEST 1
    #endregion
    ID(SCOPE::) TEST    // should expand to 1
- Changed #import semantics for macros from copy semantics to reference 
  semantics, i.e. macros are now considered to be implicitly imported into the 
  scope, where they are defined. If a macro is imported into another scope and 
  the original macro is undefined, the imported macro still exists. Further, 
  if the imported macro is expanded, then while rescanning the original macro 
  is disabled too:
    #region A
    #  define B(x) x
    #endregion
    #import A
    B    (A::B) (*) // A::B(*)
    A::B (B)    (*) // B(*)
    B    (B)    (*) // B(*)
    A::B (A::B) (*) // A::B(*)
- Fixed a recently introduced problem, where placemarker tokens slipped through 
  to the output under certain conditions (in variadics/C99/C++0x modes only).

Mon May 19 16:30:49     2003
- Fixed a bug, which prevented the recognition of the __lparen__, __rparen__ or 
  __comma__ alternative tokens, if these were the first token after an emitted
  #line directive (reported by Vesa Karvonen).
- Added an optimization, that only those tokens are considered for a macro 
  expansion, which may result in an expansion.
  
Tue May 13 18:16:26     2003
- Fixed a newly introduced problem, where a omitted argument consisting out 
  of whitespace only were failed to be replaced by a placemarker token. This 
  lead to problems with constructs like the following:
    #define paste(a, b, c) a ## b ## c
    paste(1, , 3)  // should expand to 13, but expanded to 1## 3
- Fixed a problem with the tracing support, which throwed an unexpected 
  exception if there were too few arguments given while expanding a macro.
- Allowed to open and to import the global scope ('#region ::' and 
  '#import ::').
- Fixed a bug, if more than one file was given with a --forceinclude command 
  line option.

Sat May 10 21:30:29     2003
- Added __STDC_FULL_REGION__ and __STDC_CURRENT_REGION__ to the list of not 
  undefinable macros.
- In normal C++ mode and C99 mode the #ifdef/#ifndef and the operator defined()
  should not support qualified names. This is fixed now.
- Updated the documentation.
- Fixed minor gcc -Wall compilation warnings.
- Added better error support for qualified names used as arguments for #ifdef,
  #ifndef and operator defined().
  
Sat May 10 09:51:18     2003
- Removed the feature, that the comma before the ellipsis parameter in a macro
  definition may be omitted.
- Resolved an issue with the expansion of qualified macros, when these 
  qualified names were partially generated by a previous macro expansion
- Allowed to specify fully qualified names as arguments to the #region directive
  
Wed May  7 22:44:21     2003
- Changed the names of __SCOPE__ and __FULL_SCOPE__ predefined macros to 
  __STDC_CURRENT_REGION__ and __STDC_FULL_REGION__ resp. The names are subject 
  to change if the #region keyword actually will be renamed to #scope/#module
  or whatever.
- In C++0x mode it is now possible to omit the last comma before a variadics
  ellipsis in a macro definition:
    #define cat_i(a, b, c, d, e ...) a ## b ## c ## d ## e 
- Fixed a bug in the stringize code, where an ellipsis to stringize resulted in
  stringizing of the first ellipsis parameter only. Preserved the original 
  whitespace delimiting in between the ellipsis arguments.
- Introduced the wave::language_support enum for convenient switching of the 
  supported language features throughout the library.
- Fixed a bug, which prevented the definition of the predefined macro 
  __WAVE_HAS_VARRIADICS__, if --variadics were given on the command line.
  
Tue May  6 15:49:45     2003
- Made predefined macros available at every macro scope without qualification.
- Predefined a new macro in C++0x mode: __STDC_GLOBAL__, which is defined at 
  global macro scope only and equals to '1' (integer literal).
- In C++0x mode there are two new predefined macros: 
    __SCOPE__:      expands to the last part of the qualified name of the 
                    current macro scope
    __FULL_SCOPE__: expands to the full qualified name of the current macro 
                    scope 
    
Mon May  5 23:02:48     2003
- Fixed a problem in the new well defined token pasting code, which occured for
  constructs like the following:
    #define is_empty(...) is_empty_ ## __VA_ARGS__ ## _other
  i.e. where two or more '##' operators were contained in the replacement text.
- Implemented __comma__, __lparen__ and __rparen__ alternative pp-tokens, which 
  may be used as the ',', '(' and ')' tokens during preprocessing. These are 
  only converted to there respective string representation in a special 
  translation phase after preprocessing. This was proposed by Vesa Karvonen.
- Changed the macro scoping rules to: "If a qualified name does not find a 
  nested name, it is not a qualified name to the preprocessor." This seems to 
  be the simplest usable solution for the possible ambiguities.
- Fixed a bug in the macro expansion engine in C++0x mode, where the skipping 
  of whitespace inside of a qualified name wasn't consistent.

Sun May  4 10:48:53     2003
- Fixed a bug in the expression grammar, which prevented 'not' to be recognized
  as a valid operator.
- Qualified names are now supported as parameters to #ifdef and #ifndef too.
- Remove one specialization of the macro expansion engine. It gets instantiated
  only twice now (for the main input iterator and for list<>'s  of tokens.
- Simplified the required explicit specialization of the defined_grammar
  template. It has to be explicitely instantiated by providing the token type
  only (just as for the explicit instantiations of the other grammars).

Fri May  2 22:44:27     2003
- Qualified names are now allowed as parameters to the operator defined() in 
  C++0x mode.
- Separated the defined() functionality into a separate translation unit to 
  work around a VC7.1 ICE.
  
Fri May  2 15:38:26     2003
- The C++0x mode now has a special set of predefined macros.
- The predefined macro __WAVE_HAS_VARIADICS__ is now defined in C99 and C++0x 
  modes too (--variadics is implied for these modes).
- Updated the documentation to reflect the recent changes and additions.
- In C++0x mode Wave now supports macro scopes:
    - new keywords #region/#endregion/#import
    - qualified macro names
- In C++0x mode Wave now supports token pasting of unrelated tokens. These are
  concatenated, the result is re-tokenized and inserted into the output stream.
- Fixed a minor bug in the macro expansion engine, if a qualified function-like
  macro was found in an object-like context.
- Fixed an issue with well defined token pasting of unrelated tokens.

Tue Apr 29 08:47:37     2003
- Fixed a bug in the macro expansion engine, which prevented the expansion 
  of a certain macro under specific conditions (if the left of two tokens to 
  concatenate were a disabled one (T_NONREPLACABLE_IDENTIFIER), then the 
  resulting token was disabled too).
- Added additional diagnostics to the Wave driver to disambiguate the C99 and 
  C++0x modes.
- Implemented a new API function and a corresponding Wave driver command line
  option, which allows to specify one or more include files to be preprocessed
  before the regular file is preprocessed (the files are processed as normal
  input and all the resulting output is included, before processing the regular 
  input file). The Wave driver command line option is --forceinclude (-F).
- Wave now compiles the Order library from Vesa Karvonen.
  
Mon Apr 28 07:57:10     2003
- Fixed a bug in the macro expansion engine.
- Removed a lot of (not needed) whitespace in the generated output (but still 
  not optimal).

Sat Apr 26 20:30:53     2003
- Fixed a bug in the initialization code of the Slex lexer while working in 
  C99 mode (reported by Reece Dunn).

Fri Apr 18 08:37:35     2003
- Fixed the handling of option_value's inside of pragma directives:
    _Pragma("wave option(option_value)")
  inside which all all whitespaces were deleted.
- Started to implement experimental macro scoping.

Thu Apr 10 10:20:07     2003
- Fixed a problem with the #pragma wave stop(), where only the first token 
  inside the stop directive was output, when the preprocessor stops in result
  of this pragma.
- Implemented a new #pragma wave system(command), which spawns a new operation
  system command exactly as specified inside the system directive, intercepts
  the stdout output of this process, retokenizes this output and inserts the
  generated token sequence in place of the original #pragma or operator _Pragma.
  Please note that the generated output is _not_ subject to any macro expansion
  before its insertion as the replacement of the pragma itself. If you need to 
  macro expand the replacement text, you always may force this by writing:
    #define SCAN(x) x
    SCAN(_Pragma("wave system(...)"))
  which re-scans the replacement once.
- Replaced the Wave position_iterator with the boost::spirit::position_iterator
  (without any problems!).
  
Mon Apr  7 10:45:30     2003
- Fixed macro_trace_policies::expand_object_like_macro not to be called with 
  the formal arguments as one of its parameters.
- Updated the documentation to reflect the changes needed for the tracing 
  stuff.
  
Mon Mar 31 19:07:05     2003
- Fixed variadics support in the trace output.
- Fixed preprocessing of operator _Pragma() before it's execution.
- Added _Pragma("wave stop(errmsg)") (#pragma wave stop(errmsg)) to allow 
  diagnostics output from inside macro expansion.
- Fixed operator _Pragma for unknown pragmas (these are simply put through to
  the output).
- Implemented a maximal possible include nesting depth to avoid an out of 
  memory error. The initial value for this is configurable through the compile 
  time constant WAVE_MAX_INCLUDE_LEVEL_DEPTH, which defaults to 1024, if not 
  given.
  Additionally this may be enlarged through a new command line option:
  -n/--nesting (Wave driver only).

Sun Mar 30 20:40:17     2003
- Implemented the predefined macro __INCLUDE_LEVEL__, which expands to a 
  decimal integer constant that represents the depth of nesting in include 
  files. The value of this macro is incremented on every '#include' directive 
  and decremented at every end of file. 
- Implemented the operator _Pragma(). It is recognized in C99 mode and whenever 
  variadics are enabled.
  
Sun Mar 30 08:30:12     2003
- Changed the tracing format to be more readable.
- Changed the tracing #pragma's to
    enable tracing:     #pragma wave trace(enable)
    disable tracing:    #pragma wave trace(disable)
  or
    enable tracing:     #pragma wave trace(1)
    disable tracing:    #pragma wave trace(0)
- Changed the semantics of the -t (--traceto) switch. Without any -t switch 
  there isn't generated any trace output at all, even, if the corresponding
  #pragma directives are found. To output the trace info to a file, the 
  '-t file' syntax may be used, to output to std::cerr, the '-t-' (or '-t -')
  syntax may be used.

Fri Mar 28 17:27:25     2003
- Added a new template parameter to the wave::context<> object, which allows
  to specify a policy for controlling the macro expansion tracing. The default
  macro_trace_policy does no tracing at all. This way one can add specific
  macro expansion tracing facilities to the library.
- #pragma directives starting with a STDC identifier are no longer not macro 
  expanded in C++ mode, in C++ mode these are now expanded as usual, in C99 
  mode not.
- The tracing can be enabled/disabled from inside the preprocessed stream by
  inserting a special #pragma directive:
    enable tracing:     #pragma wave_option(trace: enable)
    disable tracing:    #pragma wave_option(trace: disable)
- The Wave driver now allows to specify a destination for the macro expansion 
  tracing trough a new command line switch: '-t path' or '--traceto path'. If
  this option isn't given, the trace output goes to stderr.
- The Wave driver now allows to specify the name of the file, where the 
  preprocessed result stream is to be saved: '-o path' or '--output path'. If 
  this option is not given, the output goes to stdout.
  
Wed Mar 26 20:39:11     2003
- Fixed a problem with alternative tokens (as 'and', 'or' etc.) and trigraph
  tokens, which were not correctly recognized inside #if/#elif expressions.
- Alternative tokens ('and', 'or' etc.) are no longer subject to a possible 
  macro redefinition.
- Fixed the special handling of 'true' and 'false' during the macro expansion 
  of #if/#elif expressions.

Tue Mar 25 12:12:35     2003
- Released Wave V0.9.1

Mon Mar 24 13:34:27     2003
- Implemented placemarkers, i.e. Wave now supports empty arguments during macro 
  invocations. This must be enabled by means of a new pp constant:
  WAVE_SUPPORT_VARIADICS_PLACEMARKERS which must be defined to enable the 
  placemarker and variadics code and by defining the command line option 
  '--variadics' (Wave driver only).
- Implemented variadics, i.e. Wave now supports macros with variable parameter 
  counts. This must be enabled by means of the pp constant:
  WAVE_SUPPORT_VARIADICS_PLACEMARKERS which must be defined to enable the 
  placemarker and variadics code and by defining the command line option 
  '--variadics' (Wave driver only).
- Implemented a C99 mode. This mode enables variadics and placemarkers by 
  default and rejects some specific C++ tokens (as the alternate keywords and 
  '::', '->*', '.*'). This mode must be enabled by the means of the pp constant
  WAVE_SUPPORT_VARIADICS_PLACEMARKERS (see above). The C99 mode is enabled by 
  the command line switch '--c99' (Wave driver only).
  This involved some changes in the C99/C++ lexers.
  
Fri Mar 21 16:02:10     2003
- Fixed a bug in the macro expansion engine, which prevented the expansion of
  macros, which name was concatenated out of a identifier and a integer 
  followed directly by another identifier:
    #define X() X_ ## 0R()  // note: _zero_ followed by 'R'
    #define X_0R() ...
    X() // expanded to:  X_0R(), but should expand to ...
  This is a problem resulting from the fact, that the Standard requires the 
  preprocessor to act on so called pp-tokens, but Wave acts on C++ tokens.
  
Thu Mar 20 21:39:21     2003
- Fixed a problem with expression parsing (#if/#elif constant expressions), 
  which failed to produce an error message for expressions like
    #if 1 2 3 4 5
  i.e. where the token sequence starts with a valid constant expression, but 
  the remainder of the line contained other tokens than whitespace.
- Integrated the flex_string class from Andrei Alexandrescu (published on the
  CUJ site) to get COW-string behaviour for the token values and position 
  filename strings. This resulted in a major overall speedup (about 2-3 times 
  faster in dependency of the complexity of pp usage in the input stream).
- Fixed a bug, which reported ill formed #if/#else expressions as errors, even 
  if the current if block status (conditional compilation status) is false.
- Added a warning, if the last line of a file does not end with a newline.
- Improved error recognition and handling for malformed preprocessor directives

Mon Mar 17 19:53:29     2003
- Fixed a concatenation problem: constructs like a##b##c where expanded 
  incorrectly.
- Optimized the recognition of pp directives: 
    - the parser is used only, if the next non-whitespace token starts a pp 
      directive 
    - null directives now are recognized without calling the parser
    - the parser isn't called anymore, if the if_block_status is false and no
      conditional pp directive (#if etc.) is to be recognized.
  These optimizations give a speed improvement by upto 40%.
- Removed adjacent whitespace during macro expansion (needs to be revised, 
  since there is some whitespace left, which may be removed)
    
Sun Mar 16 23:19:11     2003
- Fixed a problem with include paths given on the command line, if the file
  to preprocess was not given as a full path (driver executable).
- Fixed a problem with path names containing blanks (driver executable).
- Cleaned command line and argument handling (driver executable).
- Fixed a severe memory leak.
- Fixed a bug, if a C++ keyword was used as a macro name or macro parameter 
  name, which prevented the macro recognition and expansion to function 
  properly.
- Implemented the WAVE_SUPPORT_MS_EXTENSIONS compiler switch for the re2c 
  generated lexer too.
- Fixed a problem, which caused an internal T_PLACEHOLDER token to show up 
  outside the macro replacement engine.
- Fixed a problem with macro #include directives, which prevents to find the 
  file to include, if after the macro expansion the token sequence representing 
  the filename began or ended with at least one whitespace token.
- Fixed a problem, which caused a false error message if the '#' character was
  to be concatenated with an arbitrary other token.
- The concatenation of a whitespace token with an arbitrary other token was 
  reported as illegal token pasting (but it is certainly not).
   
Sat Mar 15 21:43:56     2003
- Added a default constructor to the wave::util::file_position template.
- Report the concatenation of unrelated tokens as an error.
- Finished the documentation.

Fri Mar 14 20:14:18     2003
- More work on documentation
- Changed file_position to expose accessor functions (the member variables are
  marked as private now). This opens up the possibility to provide another 
  file_position implementation, which may be optimized in some way.
- Fixed a problem with the token name table, the alternate and trigraph token
  names were printed incorrectly.
- Fixed a bug, which prevented the correct recognition of 'defined X' (without 
  parenthesises).
- Fixed a bug, which allowed to redefine and undefine the predefined name 
  'defined'.
- Fixed a bug, which prevents the correct recognition of a macro based #include 
  directive, if it expands to something like #include <...>.
- Fixed a bug, which prevented the recognition of duplicate macro parameter
  names.
- Removed the insertion of additional whitespace inside of string literals 
  (during stringizing).
  
Wed Mar 12 19:16:40     2003
- Fixed a bug, which prevented the instantiation of the wave::context object 
  with auxiliary iterators. The token type isn't coupled anymore with the 
  iterator type.
  This required some changes in the interface:
    - The wave::context object now has three template parameters (the iterator
      type, the token type and the input policy type)
    - The token type does not have the iterator type as it's template parameter
      anymore.
- Implemented a new position_iterator template on top of the iterator_adaptor<>
  template to make it work even for input_iterator type iterators.
- Fixed a bug in the regular expressions for the Slex lexer.
- The function 'set_sys_include_delimiter()' was renamed to 
  'set_sysinclude_delimiter()' to better fit the naming scheme of the other 
  functions.
- Wrote more documentation
- Unified the different token definitions of the lexers, so that there is only
  one token type left. This required some changes in the interface:
    - There is no need anymore to explicitly specify the namespace of the token
      type to use.
- Added the command line option -P to the Wave driver program, which predefines 
  a macro (i.e. defines it such, that is _not_ undefinable through an #undef
  directive from inside the preprocessed program).

Sat Mar  8 07:46:43     2003
- Released Wave 0.9.0

Thu Mar  6 20:02:44     2003
- Compiled Wave with IntelV7.0/DinkumwareSTL (from VC6sp5)
- Fixed new compilation problems with gcc -Wall
- Fixed the list_includes and cpp_tokens samples to compile and link correctly.
- Fixed a bug, where a wrong filename was reported by the generated #line 
  directive.
- Fixed a bug, where the __FILE__ macro was expanded without '\"' around the
  filename.
- The generated #line directives and the expanded __FILE__ macro now report
  the filename in a native (to the system) format. Additionally the generated
  string literals are now escaped correctly.

Wed Mar  5 21:11:14     2003
- Reorganized the directory structure to mirror the namespace structure of the
  library
- Fixed a bug, where the complete input after the first found #include 
  directive were eaten up.
- Fixed a bug, where the __LINE__ macro expanded to a incorrect linenumber, if
  the __LINE__ macro was encountered on a line after a '\\' '\n' sequence.

Tue Mar  4 11:50:24     2003
- The new name of the project is 'Wave'.
- Adjusted namespaces, comments etc. to reflect the new name.
- Added the command line option -U [--undefine], which allows to remove one of 
  the predefined macros (except __LINE__, __FILE__, __DATE__, __TIME__, 
  __STDC__ and __cplusplus)

Sun Mar  2 20:10:04     2003
- Fixed a bug while expanding macros without any definition part (empty macros)
- The pp-iterator will not emit a newline for every recognized preprocessing
  directive anymore. The generated output is much more condensed this way. 
- The pp-iterator now emits #line directives at appropriate places.
- Added an additional parser to the library, which may be used to parse macros
  given in the command line syntax, i.e. something like 'MACRO(x)=definition'.
- Added the possibility to the cpp driver sample, to add macros from the 
  command line through the -D command line switch.
- Martin Wille contributed a test script to allow automatic testing of the 
  cpp driver sample by feeding all files contained in the test_files directory
  through the cpp driver and comparing the generated output with the 
  corresponding expectations.
- Added config file support to allow for predefined option sets (for instance
  for the emulation of other compilers)
- Changed the way, how include paths are defined. It resembles now the 
  behaviour of gcc. 
  Any directories specified with '-I' options before an eventually given '-I-' 
  option are searched only for the case of '#include "file"', they are not 
  searched for '#include <file>' directives. If additional directories are 
  specified with '-I' options after a '-I-' option was given, these directories 
  are searched for all '#include' directives. In addition, the '-I-' option 
  inhibits the use of the current directory as the first search directory for 
  '#include "file"'. Therefore, the current directory is searched only if it is 
  requested explicitly with '-I.'. Specifying both '-I-' and '-I.' allows to 
  control precisely which directories are searched before the current one 
  and which are searched after.
- Added config file support to the cpp driver.
- stored not only the current 'name' of a file (given eventually by a #line
  directive) but in parallel the actual full file system name of this file too.
  
Tue Feb 25 21:44:19     2003
- Fixed the warnings emitted by gcc -Wall.
- Fixed a bug in the cpp grammar, which causes to failing the recognition of 
  certain preprocessor directives if at the end of this directive were placed 
  a C++ comment.
- Simplified and extended the insertion of whitespace tokens at places, where
  otherwise two adjacent tokens would form a new different token, if 
  retokenized.

Mon Feb 24 19:13:46     2003
- defined() functionality was broken
- added missing typename keywords
- added missing using namespace statements, where appropriate
- added a warning, when a predefined macro is to be undefined (by an #undef 
  directive)
- removed the 'compile in C mode' hack for the re2c generated lexer (VC7.1 
  (final beta) is not able to compile it with optimizations switched on 
  anyway :( )
- compiled with gcc 3.2 and Intel V7.0 (20030129Z)

Sun Feb 23 23:39:33  2003
- Fixed a couple of 'missing typename' bugs (thanks to Martin Wille)
- Added code to insert whitespace at places, where otherwise two adjacent 
  tokens would form a new different token, if retokenized.
- Fixed a severe macro expansion bug.
- Added the handling of invalid or not allowed universal character values 
  inside of string literals and character literals.

Sat Feb 22 20:52:06  2003
- Bumped version to 0.9.0
- Added test for invalid or not allowed universal character values (see
  C++ Standard 2.2.2 [lex.charset] and Annex E)
- Fixed a bug with newlines between a macro name and the opening parenthesis 
  during the macro expansion and a bug with newlines inside the parameter list
  during the macro expansion.
- Added the following predefined macros:
    __SPIRIT_PP__
        expands to the version number of the pp-iterator lib (i.e. 0x0090 for 
        V0.9.0)
    __SPIRIT_PP_VERSION__
        expands to the full version number of the pp-iterator lib (i.e.
        0x00900436 for V0.9.0.436)
    __SPIRIT_PP_VERSION_STR__
        expands to the full version string of the pp-iterator lib (i.e. 
        "0.9.0.436")
  
Fri Feb 21 22:09:04  2003 (feature complete!)
- Allowed to optionally compile the Re2c generated lexer in 'C' mode, because 
  at least the VC7.1 (final beta) compiler has problems to compile it in 'C++'
  mode with optimizations switch on
- Implemented #error and #warning (optional) directives (C++ standard 16.5). 
  Additionally there are now allowed the following preprocessor configuration 
  constants:
    CPP_PREPROCESS_ERROR_MESSAGE_BODY
        if defined, preprocesses the message body of #error and #warning  
        directives to allow for better diagnostics.
    CPP_SUPPORT_WARNING_DIRECTIVE
        if defined, then the #warning directive will be recognized such, that
        a warning with the given message will be issued
- Adjusted the error handling for the Re2c generated C++ lexer, so that any
  error inside the lexer is now propagated as an cpplexer_exception.
- Implemented the #line directive (C++ standard 16.4)
- Implemented #pragma directive (C++ standard 16.6)
  Additionally there are now allowed the following preprocessor configuration 
  constants:
    CPP_RETURN_PRAGMA_DIRECTIVES
        if defined, then the whole pragma directive is returned as a token
        sequence to the caller, if not defined the whole pragma directive is 
        skipped
    CPP_PREPROCESS_PRAGMA_BODY
        if defined, then the #pragma body will be preprocessed 
- Implemented #include directive with macro arguments (C++ standard 16.2.4)
- Made the namespace structure finer granulated to leave only the main 
  interface classes in the main namespace cpp. All other classes are moved into
  sub-namespaces to reflect the logical dependencies
- Reorganized the public interface of the context<> template class, made all
  non relevant functions into the protected.
- Implemented predefined macros (__LINE__ et.al.) (C++ standard 16.8)
- Further documentation work
  
Wed Feb 19 23:44:47  2003
- Corrected a lot of bugs in the macro expansion engine, which now should be 
  conformant to the C++ standard.
- # (null) directive (C++ standard 16.7)

Sun Feb 16 08:40:38  2003
- Added a macro expansion engine which expands macros with arguments 
  C++ standard 16.3 [cpp.replace]
- Added a new sample: cpp_tokens. This sample preprocesses a given file and
  prints out the string representations of all tokens returned from the pp 
  iterator
- Added documentation (to be continued!)
- Added a couple of small test files to test elementary functionality
  (the tests mainly were contributed by Paul Mensonides)
- The main cpp sample is now a simple preprocessor driver program, which 
  outputs the string representation of the preprocessed input stream. Use 
  cpp --help to get a hint, how to use it.
- Fixed a bug in the preprocessor grammar which failed to recognize a pp 
  statement, if there was a C++ comment at the end of the line
- Added '#' operator (C++ standard 16.3.2) [cpp.stringize]
- Fixed a bug in the slex based C++ lexer to handle the concatenation 
  characters correctly ('\\' followed by a '\n')

Sun Feb  9 23:01:00  2003
- Improved error handling for #if et.al.
- Fixed a pair of lexer errors
- Implemented the #if/#elif statements, the sample now contains a complete C++ 
  expression evaluation engine (for the calculation of the outcome of the 
  #if/#elif statement conditions)
- Implemented macro replacement (with parameters)
- Implemented the '##' [cpp.concat] operator
- Implemented the defined() [cpp.cond] operator

Sun Feb  2 23:28:24  2003
- Implemented the  #define, #undef, #ifdef, #ifndef, #else and #endif 
  statements
- Added optional parse tree output as xml stream (controlled through the config
  pp constant CPP_DUMP_PARSE_TREE)

Fri Jan 31 21:30:55  2003
- Fixed different minor issues and a border case (#include statement at the 
  last line of a included file)

Wed Jan 29 21:13:32  2003
- Fixed exception handling to report the correct error position
- Fixed another bug in the stream position calculation scheme
- Added a more elaborate sample 'list_includes' which lists the dependency
  information for a given source file (see test/list_includes/readme.txt).

Sat Jan 18 22:01:03  2003
- Fixed a bug in the stream position calculation scheme
- Made cpp::exceptions more standard conformant (added 'throw()' at appropriate 
  places)
- Overall housekeeping :-)

Wed Jan 15 21:54:20  2003
Changes since project start (still 0.5.0)
- Added #include <...> and #include "..." functionality
- pp directives are now generally recognized 
- Decoupled the C++ lexers and the pp grammar to separate compilation
  units (optionally) to speed up compilation (a lot!)

Thu Jan  2 12:39:30  2003
A completely new version 0.5.0 of the C preprocessor was started. It's a 
complete rewrite of the existing code base. The main differences are:
- The preprocessor is now implemented as an iterator, which returns the 
  current preprocessed token from the input stream.
- The preprocessing of include files isn't implemented through recursion
  anymore. This follows directly from the first change. As a result of this
  change the internal error handling is simplified.
- The C preprocessor iterator itself is feeded by a new unified C++ lexer 
  iterator. BTW, this C++ lexer iterator could be used standalone and is not 
  tied to the C preprocessor. There are two different C++ lexers implemented 
  now, which are functionally completely identical. These expose a similar
  interface, so the C preprocessor could be used with both of them.
- The C++ lexers integrated into the C preprocessor by now are:
    Slex:   A spirit based table driven regular expression lexer (the slex 
            engine originally was written by Dan Nuffer and is available as a
            separate Spirit sample).
    Re2c:   A C++ lexer generated with the help of the re2c tool. This C++
            lexer was written as a sample by Dan Nuffer too.
  It isn't hard to plug in additional different C++ lexers. There are plans to
  integrate a third one written by Juan Carlos Arevalo-Baeza, which is 
  available as a Spirit sample.
  
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Feb 12 22:29:50  2002
Changes from 0.2.3 to 0.2.4:
- Moved XML dumping functions to the main Spirit directory
- Fixed operator '##', it was not correctly implemented somehow :-(

Sun Feb 10 21:07:19  2002
Changes from 0.2.2 to 0.2.3:
- Implemented concatenation operator '##' (cpp.concat)
- Removed defined() functionality for Intel compiler (it ICE's) until this 
  issue is resolved
- Separated code for dumping a parse tree to XML for inclusion in the main
  Spirit headers

Thu Jan 17 23:51:21  2002
Changes from 0.2.1 to 0.2.2:
- Fixes to compile with gcc 2.95.2 and gcc 3.0.2 (thanks Dan Nuffer)
- Reformatted the grammars to conform to a single formatting guideline
- Assigned explicit rule_id's to the rules of cpp_grammar, so that the 
  access code to the embedded definition class is not needed anymore
- Fixed a remaining const problem

Tue Jan 15 23:40:40  2002
Changes from 0.2.0 to 0.2.1:
- Corrected handling of defined() operator
- In preprocessing conditionals undefined identifiers now correctly
  replaced by '0'
- Fixed several const problems
- Added parse_node_iterator for traversing one node in a parse_tree
  without going deeper down the hierarchy than one level (this is useful,
  if all inspected tokens arranged along a single node in the parse tree.
  The main difference to the parse_tree_iterator is, that the underlying
  iterator generally can be adjusted correctly after advancing the attached
  parse_node_iterator
- Fixed a problem with gcc 2.95.2, which doesn't have a <sstream> header
- Prepared usage of slex for lexer states

Sun Jan 13 10:21:16  2002
Changes from 0.1.0 to 0.2.0:
- Added operator 'defined()'
- Added directive '#warning'
- Corrected error reporting
- Added command line option -I- for finer control of the searched include
  directories (-I and -I- should now work as in gcc, see readme.html for 
  more info)
- Corrected conditional preprocessing (should be fully functional now)
- Fixed existing code base for changes made in parse tree support
- Moved parse tree utility functions to a separate header (prepared for 
  inclusion to the Spirit main library)
