[boost] [type_erasure] link to any_cast reference section

[Joaquin M López Muñoz via Boost]

Hi,

Unlike most classes/functions in Boost.TypeErasure, the following

http://www.boost.org/doc/html/boost/type_erasure/any_cast.html

does not go to the reference for boost::type_erasure::any_cast, the
proper link being

http://www.boost.org/doc/html/boost/type_erasure/any_cast_idp758556752.html

Problem is this seemingly autogenerated file name is unstable. For
instance, for Boost 1.63 the
link was

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_63_0/doc/html/boost/type_erasure/any_cast_idp984702224.html

in develop it is

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/develop/doc/html/boost/type_erasure/any_cast_idp774056976.html

and in master it is

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/master/doc/html/boost/type_erasure/any_cast_idp779380256.html

which makes it impossible to refer to this section of Boost.TypeErasure
documentation from other
pages. Maybe this can be fixed?

Thank you

Joaquín M López Muñoz

This is really annoying. It looks like the reason this
happens is that BoostBook sees both boost::any_cast and
boost::type_erasure::any_cast and decides that it needs
to mangle them because they have the same name. (The
test isn't smart enough to realize that they're in
different namespaces)

Any suggestion on what to do from my side? I really want to link you :-)

There are three possible solutions:
- Fix BoostBook. (I'll get to this eventually)
- Build your documentation as part of the global doc build
and link using [functionref boost::type_erasure::any_cast]
- I could have the type_erasure docs built separately to
avoid the conflict.

I just fixed BoostBook in develop. any_cast.html will
work.
