It is now called __classic__. Even if the directory structure has changed (the Spirit Classic headers are now moved to the '''$BOOST_ROOT/boost/spirit/home/classic''' directory), we created forwarding headers allowing to compile existing applications without any change. These forwarding headers are deprecated, though, which will result in corresponding warnings generated for each of the headers starting with Boost V1.38. The forwarding headers are expected to be removed in the future. The recommended way of using Spirit Classic now is to include header files from the directory '''$BOOST_ROOT/boost/spirit/include'''. All files of Spirit Classic in this directory have a 'classic_' prefixed to their name. For example the include #include now should be written as: #include To avoid namespace conflicts with the new Spirit V2 library we moved Spirit Classic into the namespace `boost::spirit::classic`. All references to the former namespace `boost::spirit` need to be adjusted as soon as the header names are corrected as described above. As an alternative you can define the preprocessor constant `BOOST_SPIRIT_USE_OLD_NAMESPACE`, which will force the Spirit Classic code to be in the namespace `boost::spirit` as before. This is not recommended, though, as it may result in naming clashes. The change of the namespace will be automatically deactivated whenever the deprecated include files are being used. This ensures full backwards compatibility for existing applications. [endsect]
