Question

Does anyone know the type of boost::???::syntax_option_type?
Can’t find it in the source nor on the internet. But I need it!
If no-one knows, does a unsigned int work well with converting between those two types?

Answer 1

Using Agent Ransack to look through the source code you can see in regbase.hpp:

typedef ::boost::regbase::flag_type syntax_option_type;

and

typedef unsigned int flag_type;

so it’s a UINT.
