I haven't merged the patch into my own repo yet; I'm just reviewing the code visually...
Where are 'MORE_KEYWORDS_THAN_FUNCTION_ARGUMENTS' as well as the other new macros that substitute the removed error messages defined ?

These are not macros, just something that will be mentioned in the error message (though I don't find it very elegant). You can try it here: http://coliru.stacked-crooked.com/a/8a7376e0edea7322
Relevant page of doc: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_58_0/libs/mpl/doc/refmanual/assert-msg.html

The other option is to use BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT_MSG which takes a string, but I believe it prints the message only with c++11.

Btw, I don't have a full boost worktree so I didn't run any test on this nor tried to compile it, so if you can check that before merging... :)

Oh, I see. In that case we should try to preserve the exact same
spelling (e.g., all lowercase) as the original messages.

Heh, you should mention that ! I typically expect from a pull request
that the patch was fully tested at least on one platform.

OK, I'll try to do a merge to my local tree and test it, as soon as I
get a chance.

Thanks,

The convention with BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_MSG seems to be to use capital letters (as the example shows), but I don't mind changing that.

Sorry for the test, forgot to mention ^^
Anyway, if you don't have the time until then, I'll get to try it on monday.

There are arguments both ways: all uppercase may highlight the error
message within a deluge of compiler-generated output. Let's see some
actual error messages generated after the patch is applied. (There was
some instance where the actual message changed, though, in the case of a
missing or wrong constructor argument. That should be fixed.)

Thanks. I doubt I'll have time before Tuesday, FWIW,

Sorry for the delay. Well it did not compile :D
Now fixed anyway :)

Tell me if you prefer all upper or lowercase

I think the first step should be to get this compiling and working, then
we should look at the generated (error) messages and decide which is better.
Let me know if you have a patch that is confirmed to work, and I'll try
it in my local repo.

Thanks,
Stefan

This last patch works, you can test it. I didn't check the error messages (and don't really know how to trigger them actually ^^)

Bump?
