Formal Review for Boost I/O Library
by Ed Brey 27 Feb '03

27 Feb '03

The formal review for the updated Boost I/O Library begins today and runs through March 7. The I/O library contains various components for use with the standard I/O library. The components are as follows: State-saving classes for various IOStream attributes. Class templates to ease making streams off a new stream-buffer class. Stream and stream-buffer class (templates) that use an internal array. Additional I/O manipulator function (templates). The stream buffer classes are new and deserve primary attention in this review. You can obtain the latest version of the library from the CVS sandbox. For web access to the library, use this URLs: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/boost-sandbox/boost-sandbox/… http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/boost-sandbox/boost-sandbox/… Please state in review comments how you reviewed the library and whether the you think the library should be accepted into Boost. Further guidelines for writing reviews can be found on the website at: http://www.boost.org/more/formal_review_process.htm#Comments Thanks, Ed (Review Manager)

Formal Review: Variant Library
by Jeff Garland 17 Feb '03

17 Feb '03

All - Today is the start of the formal review of the Variant library by Eric Friedman and Itay Maman. The review will run until Tuesday Feb. 25th. I will be serving as review manager. The variant library offers a simple, type-safe solution for manipulating an object from an inhomogeneous set of types in a uniform manner. Whereas standard containers such as std::vector may be thought of as "multi-value, single type," variant is "multi-type, single value." This reduces code duplication and enhances maintainability. You can obtain the latest version of the library from the boost-sandbox or from: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/variant.zip Please state in review comments how you reviewed the library and whether the you think the library should be accepted into Boost. Further guidelines for writing reviews can be found on the website at: http://www.boost.org/more/formal_review_process.htm#Comments Thanks, Jeff
