There was a problem hiding this comment.
I am in favour of all the changes I see, was able to build with b2 and got output. I understand that the output has expected errors until a future PR, so I did not check it in detail. Based on that I approve.

Thanks and I'll merge it already, it's small enough for 1 approval, and prepare next step |

The supported status matrix, as shown for example on https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_88_0/libs/geometry/doc/html/geometry/reference/algorithms/disjoint/disjoint_2.html
is generated automatically. There are (were) two tools for it.
It was originally created by myself in
implementation_status. That used to make a source of each algorithm, compile it for all combinations, and output the status. It took a long time (because it compiled each combination).It was enhanced by @awulkiew and placed into
support_status. That usesboost::is_base_ofto see if (for the algorithmdisjoint) the base classdispatch::disjointis implemented for the specified geometries. It compiles quickly and runs.But it is not used for a long time and it didn't fully compile anymore. At this moment, three algorithms didn't compile. After fixing them, it runs. But it does not always represents reality, or the reported state in the documentation. See below a remark about
disjoint.This PR is a minimal fix and will get a follow-up.
This PR contains:
implementation_status(by myself)support_status(by @awulkiew )I will make a follow-up PR with enhancements - but still containing the structure of
support_status.But I thought it is better to separate it.
The current support status also contains mismatches, such as:
which is not as on the documentation page, and not correct. A next PR will fix this.
