Hi all, before we all relax into the holidays I wanted to remind you all about next year's Boost Conference in Aspen, CO, USA, May 3-9. Even if all important dates are listed in the attached Call for Participation, I'll list them here once again: Proposals for submissions due: January 10th 2009. Proposals acceptances sent (tentative program available): February 10th, 2009 Fully scheduled program available: March 1st, 2009 Session materials due: April 1st 2009. IOW, you might want to use some of your free time during the next weeks to think about a possible contribution. It really doesn't take much time to come up with a short abstract! Let's make sure BoostCon 2009 will be a major C++ event! Happy holidays! Regards Hartmut Program Committee Chair BoostCon 2009

[boost] [review][constrained_value] Review of Constrained Value Library begins today
by Jeff Garland 01 Dec '08

01 Dec '08

Hi all, The review of the Robert Kawulak's Constrained Value library begins today December 1, 2008, and will end on December 10th -- I will be the review manager. Please post reviews to the developer list. Here's the library synopsis: The Boost Constrained Value library contains class templates useful for creating constrained objects. A simple example is an object representing an hour of a day, for which only integers from the range [0, 23] are valid values. bounded_int<int, 0, 23>::type hour; hour = 20; // OK hour = 26; // exception! Behavior in case of assignment of an invalid value can be customized. The library has a policy-based design to allow for flexibility in defining constraints and behavior in case of assignment of invalid values. Policies may be configured at compile-time for maximum efficiency or may be changeable at runtime if such dynamic functionality is needed. The library can be downloaded from the here: http://rk.go.pl/f/constrained_value.zip The documentation is also available online here: http://rk.go.pl/r/constrained_value --------------------------------------------------- Please state in your review, whether you think the library should be accepted as a Boost library. Additionally, please consider the following aspects in your review of the library: - What is your evaluation of the design? - What is your evaluation of the implementation? - What is your evaluation of the documentation? - What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library? - Did you try to use the library? With what compiler? Did you have any problems? - How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A quick reading? In-depth study? - Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain? Thanks, Jeff _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/ listinfo.cgi/boost

Nevertheless, it's still possible to submit a review for at least a week, as I'm not going to have time for the analysis of the review before Christmas. Thanks to all of you who submitted a review.
