Hi,
Does anyone know the status of the Boost.Interfaces Library proposed by Chris Diggins in 2004?
It was written by me, inspired by an article that Chris wrote in CUJ. I never officially proposed the library; I just requested comments. Although there seemed to be quite a bit of interest, I became very busy and didn't have time to work on it. However, I'm working on it again now -- as of last week -- and hope to request comments soon and then to propose it for inclusion.
I have found a few references to it on the internet, including one on the Boost Wiki, but it seems to not have ever made it into the official Boost library.
I am interest in exploring how Aspect-Oriented Programming techniques might be incorporate into an existing code-base, and would prefer to use a library based solution, rather than a special preprocessor (eg. apsectc++). Since Boost has come to the rescue in the past (with elegant solutions), in this respect, I thought I would start here.
I don't know a lot about AOP; the support for AOP in the interfaces library was based on another article by Chris and wasn't very well developed. I think I want to include pretty comprehensive support, or none at all, and I haven't decided which yet. Sorry I can't be more helpful right now.
