[section Porting from Phoenix 2.0]
While reading the current documentation you might have noticed that the
[link phoenix.starter_kit Starter Kit] didn't change very much. This is because
a lot of effort was put into being compatible with Phoenix 2.0, at least on the
outside.
That being said, the only major difference is the result type deduction protocol.
The everyday Phoenix-User will encounter this change only when writing
[link phoenix.reference.modules.function Functions].
To make your function implementations Phoenix compliant again change from
the old Phoenix result type deduction protocol to the new (standard compliant)
result type deduction protocol:
[table
[[Phoenix 2.0] [Phoenix 3.0] [Notes]]
[
[``
struct is_odd_impl
{
template <typename Arg>
struct result
{
typedef bool type;
};
template <typename Arg>
bool operator()(Arg arg) const
{
return arg % 2 == 1;
}
};
boost::phoenix::function<is_odd_impl> is_odd = is_odd_impl();
``]
[``
struct is_odd_impl
{
typedef bool result_type;
template <typename Arg>
bool operator()(Arg arg) const
{
return arg % 2 == 1;
}
};
boost::phoenix::function<is_odd_impl> is_odd = is_odd_impl();
``]
[ __note__
The result_of protocol is particularly easy when you implement a monomorphic
function (return type not dependent on the arguments). You then just need a
single nested return_type typedef.

struct add_impl
{
template <typename Arg1, typename Arg2>
struct result
{
typedef Arg1 type;
};
template <typename Arg1, typename Arg2>
Arg1 operator()(Arg1 arg1, Arg2 arg2) const
{
return arg1 + arg2;
}

boost::phoenix::function<add_impl> add = add_impl();

struct add_impl

template <typename Sig>
struct result;
template <typename This, typename Arg1, typename Arg2>
struct result<This(Arg1, Arg2)>
: boost::remove_reference<Arg1> {};
template <typename Arg1, typename Arg2>
typename boost::remove_reference<Arg1>::type
operator()(Arg1 arg1, Arg2 arg2) const
{
return arg1 + arg2;
}
};
boost::phoenix::function<add_impl> add = add_impl();
``]
[__alert__ When dealing with polymorphic functions the template arguments can
be any type including cv-qualifiers and references. For that reason, the calculated
result type need to remove the reference whenever appropriate!]

[blurb __tip__ There is no general guideline for porting code which relies on the
internals of Phoenix 2.0. If you plan on porting your Phoenix 2.0 extensions
please refer to the next sections.]
