Reminder: BinTray is shutting down 1-May
by Marshall Clow 21 Apr '21

21 Apr '21

Bintray is “sunsetting” on the 1st of May. At that time, you will be unable to download boost releases from there. Before that time, their service will be occasionally interrupted. We will be updating the web site before then, but the new location is: https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/ <https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/> So instead of downloading from: https://dl.bintray.com/boostorg/release/1.76.0/source/boost_1_76_0.tar.gz You should download from: https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/1.76.0/source/boost_1_76… This applies to all releases from 1.63.0 onward — Marshall

by Glen Fernandes 28 Feb '21

28 Feb '21

From: Richard Hodges <hodges.r(a)gmail.com> Date: Sat, 27 Feb 2021 at 23:53 Subject: [Boost] [Describe] Review starts Monday 1st March 2021 - 10th March 2021 To: boost(a)lists.boost.org List <boost(a)lists.boost.org> The Boost formal review of the Describe starts Monday, taking place from March 1st, 2021 to March 10th, 2021 (inclusive). The library is authored by Peter Dimov. Documentation: https://pdimov.github.io/describe/doc/html/describe.html Source: https://github.com/pdimov/describe The library provides a simple means of providing reflection for structures and enums in C++. The documentation contains a number of common motivating examples, including: - A universal print function https://pdimov.github.io/describe/doc/html/describe. html#example_print_function - JSON serialisation https://pdimov.github.io/describe/doc/html/describe.html#example_to_json Please provide in your review information you think is valuable to understand your choice to ACCEPT or REJECT including Describe as a Boost library. Please be explicit about your decision (ACCEPT or REJECT). Some other questions you might want to consider answering: - 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 which compiler(s)? 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? More information about the Boost Formal Review Process can be found at: http://www.boost.org/community/reviews.html The review is open to anyone who is prepared to put in the work of evaluating and reviewing the library. Prior experience in contributing to Boost reviews is not a requirement. Thank you for your efforts in the Boost community. They are very much appreciated. Richard Hodges - review manager of the proposed Boost.Describe library Peter is often available in the CppLang Slack #boost channel should you require any clarification not covered by the documentation, as am I. -- Richard Hodges hodges.r(a)gmail.com office: +442032898513 home: +376841522 mobile: +376380212

[PFR][review] Result
by Benedek Thaler 08 Oct '20

08 Oct '20

Thanks to all of you who participated in the formal review of PFR, henceforth known as Boost.PFR, and Antony Polukhin for submitting this magical library. PFR is ACCEPTed into Boost, with the following results: ACCEPT: 5 votes CONDITIONAL ACCEPT: 1 vote REJECT: 0 votes Reviewers highlighted that the library is "very useful", "magical" and "provides a form of reflection in a simpler manner than other solutions thus far". During the review, several points of improvements were identified, and Antony committed to improve the library accordingly. The main concerns were: - Definition of the type concept the library can work with - Clarification of the flat / precise use-cases - The presence of global operators - The way output formatting is defined - Dropping "Reflection" from the name (this is already reflected in the docs) Antony plans to: - Remove Flat reflection - Remove global_ops - Add more examples to the docs, introduce terms in a cleaner manner - Improve the reference section - Take another look at the pfr::ops and macro for operators After all these changes have been implemented, Antony would really like to have a mini-review, regardless that the library is already ACCEPTed, further confirming his high standards. Good luck Antony, keep up the good work! Benedek review wizard

[FPR] Review of FPR starts Today: Sept 28 - Oct 7
by Benedek Thaler 03 Oct '20

03 Oct '20

The Boost formal review of the FPR (Flat Precise Reflection, ex Magic Get, ex PODs Flat Reflection) takes place from September 28, 2020 to October 7, 2020. The library is authored by Antony Polukhin, author of Boost.DLL, Stacktrace, Type Index libraries. Documentation: http://apolukhin.github.io/magic_get/ Source: https://github.com/apolukhin/magic_get The library is meant for accessing structure elements by index and providing other std::tuple like methods for user defined types without any macro or boilerplate code. The FPR documentation summarizes the out-of-the-box added functionality for aggregate initializable structures: - comparison operators - heterogeneous comparators - hash - stream operators - access to members by index - member reflections - methods for cooperation with std::tuple - methods to visit each field of the structure If the description isn't immediately obvious for you, here's a motivating example: // requires: C++14 #include <iostream> #include <string> #include "boost/pfr/precise.hpp" struct some_person { std::string name; unsigned birth_year; }; int main() { some_person val{"Edgar Allan Poe", 1809}; std::cout << boost::pfr::get<0>(val) // No macro! << " was born in " << boost::pfr::get<1>(val); // Works with any aggregate initializables! } Please provide in your review information you think is valuable to understand your choice to ACCEPT or REJECT including FPR as a Boost library. Please be explicit about your decision (ACCEPT or REJECT). Some other questions you might want to consider answering: - 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 which compiler(s)? 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?
