Function Types Accepted - November 28, 2006
by Tom Brinkman 28 Nov '06

28 Nov '06

Function Types Review Managers Summary Tom Brinkman Accepted The library has matured much between reviews. It is my conclusion that the documentation, the examples, the test suite, and the library's interface all meet the requirements to be accepted as Boost library. My own experience with the library was good. I compiled all the examples, read the documentation and have become familiar with the design. However, I did have some compiling issues with two out of three of my linux machines. I fear that this library may face some compatiblity issues with some of the lessor supported platforms The reason for the relatively low review count is that this library is for library "authors" and not for "end users". The low review count is not a concern and does not reflect on the quality of this library, While these are not issues required for acceptance, I do think that this library should eventually be merged with the "type traits" library. I'll leave that up to Tobias and others to make the final determination of how to make that happen, or if it is even practical. Clearly, there does appear to be some redundancy between the "type traits" library and the "function types" library ("tags"). I would encourage Tobias to get in contact with maintainers of those libraries and flush that issue out. It is my opinion that the "Function Types" library has met or exceeded all of the conditions set by the "Full-Review" conducted by John Maddock last year and should be accepted into boost. Congratulations and thanks to Tobias for his "Function Types" library; I'm looking forward to seeing it in a future version of boost. ----Download---- http://tinyurl.com/qaf5f ----Author---- Tobias Schwinger ----Review Dates---- June 2005 - Full Review November 2006 - Mini Review ----Review Manager(s)---- John Maddock (Full Review) Tom Brinkman (Mini Review) ----Full Review ---- 2005-Jun-6 to 2005-June-16 Accepted int Boost, subject to a mini-review. ----Mini-Review---- 2006 November 6 - 2006 November 17 Accepted into Boost

Ann: Alpha release of Boost.TR1-1.34
by John Maddock 09 Nov '06

09 Nov '06

I've placed an alpha release of the TR1 subset of Boost on the sourceforge download page: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7586&package_id=1893… Eventually, this package will track Boost-1.34 releases, but until that happens, I wanted to test the water and see how a subset like this would be received, and how best to organise it's packaging etc. So any feedback you have would be most welcome! The subset includes: TR1 Reference Wrappers Shared_ptr result_of mem_fn Function Object Binders Polymorphic Function Wrappers Type Traits Random Numbers Tuples Array Hash Functions Regular Expressions Complex Number Algorithms Enjoy! Regards, John Maddock.
