[aspectc-user] full template support?

[Olaf Spinczyk]

Hi Mike,

I'm sorry, but the new release is delayed again. In a few days I will
move from Erlangen, where I live and work now, to Dortmund. Therefore,
other things have a higher priority at the moment.

I'm also not very optimistic that the 1.0pre4 version will solve your
problem. The version will contain a number of parser improvements and
call advice for template functions or members functions of class
templates will work much better, but weaving within template code will
still not be supported.

Very soon after I will have arrived in Dortmund, we will enable the
anonymous access to our svn repository. Then you can build and test it.
I hope to finish the 1.0pre4 release by end of August. By end of
September we plan to install our new (already developed) test and build
system at the University of Dortmund (we have to buy the server first).
Then we will have daily builds and you will be able to set up a test
host that could, for instance, compile your HP system whenever the ac++
sources in the svn repository are changed without having to give us
access to your confidential code.

Best regards,

Olaf
