Dear all, The review of Fernando Cacciola Numeric Conversion library starts today (8th of Dec.) and runs until the 22th of December.
From the introduction: "The Boost Numeric Conversion library is a collection of tools to describe and perform conversions between values of different numeric types.
The library includes a special alternative for a subset of std::numeric_limits<>, the bounds<> traits class, which provides a consistent way to obtain the boundary values for the range of a numeric type. It also includes a set of trait classes which describes the compile-time properties of a conversion from a source to a target numeric type. Both arithmetic and user-defined numeric types can be used." If you intend to make a review, then please read all of this mail. 1. The library can be downloaded in the files-section at yahoo (the file is called "numeric_conversions.zip") 2. Fernando and I are aware that the documentation could be more "tidy", but we don't think it will hinder any serious review. 3. Please try to work with Fernando if there arises compiler problems etc. Even of some compiler problems cannot be overcome, please try to focus on a useful subset of the functionality 4. Please follow the guidelines described at http://www.boost.org/more/formal_review_process.htm#Comments, in particular, remember to answer these (it makes it a lot easier to be a review manager) a.. What is your evaluation of the design? b.. What is your evaluation of the implementation? c.. What is your evaluation of the documentation? d.. What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library? e.. Did you try to use the library? With what compiler? Did you have any problems? f.. How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A quick reading? In-depth study? g.. Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain? h.. Do you think the library should be accepted as a Boost library? Be sure to say this explicitly so that your other comments don't obscure your overall opinion. best regards Thorsten - review manager
