[cfe-dev] [Clang-tidy] Migrate boost library components to STL

[Jun via cfe-dev]

Hi all,I know many open source projects (companies) are using C++11/14 standard, so they have to use boost to get library features like std::any, std:: variant and etc. However, they eventually moved to C++17 when time passed by. So I wonder if there are any approaches to automatically migrate boost library components to STL? I also saw this issue: https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28558 This issue has been posted 5 years ago, so I wonder if there are any progresses.



Would it be great if we can make a clang-tidy check like `migrate-boost-to-std` and offer fixit? Is this hard to implement? Is this worth implementing? I'm very happy to work on this if someone is willing to give me some guidance, as I'm a beginner and not very familiar with this stuff. ;-)



Cheers,

Jun Zhang
