Hi all, The review of the proposed Boost Fixed Strings library written by Reece Dunn starts today (January 19th, 2006) and ends January 28th, 2006. You can download the library here: http://tinyurl.com/czrh9 --------------------------------------------------- About the library: The fixed_strings library is a buffer-overrun safe version of using fixed-size character array data buffers. It provides integration with the C API allowing strcpy, et. al. to be used safely for a fixed string and provides a basic_string interface allowing easy migration to C++ strings. There is also a formatter function object allowing (w)sprintf to be used in a single line! Example: boost::fixed_string< 5 > hi; strcpy( hi, "Hello World" ); hi.push_back( '!' ); std::cout << hi << std::endl; std::cout << boost::formatter( "Meine %s Welt!", "kleine" ) << std::endl; output: Hello Meine kleine Welt! --------------------------------------------------- Please always state in your review, whether you think the library should be accepted as a Boost library! Additionally please consider giving feedback on the following general topics: - 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?
