When is boost phoenix useful?

What are the benefits of using Boost.Phoenix?

So I started reading the documentation for boost phoenix.

However, I must admit that I don't quite understand the purpose of the library, especially since we have language support for lambdas in C++0x.

Could someone please explain or give me an example?


Solution

  • Well, not all C++ compilers support C++0x for a start.

    Then there are some things that are not possible with C++0x but that are possible with phoenix. See this for instance: C++0x lambdas with template parameters?.
