Review Conclusion - Futures Library Braddock Gaskill http://braddock.com/~braddock/future Anthony Williams http://www.justsoftwaresolutions.co.uk/files/n2561_future.hpp The lack of examples and documentation made them difficult to review. Nevertheless, Anthony Williams futures library did receive almost unanimous and enthusiastic support. Unfortunately, the depth of the support was very shallow. I just finished my first read of Anthony's book "C++ Concurrency in Action and acknowledge his expertise in the areas of multi threaded and parallel programming. (http://www.manning.com/williams/) Anthony is the maintainer of boost::threads. Anthony's Future library has been approved for the next major release of c++ standard. Conclusion Braddock Gaskill - Rejected Anthony Williams - Approved Anthony's Futures library is approved for inclusion into boost::threads. As he is the maintainer of that library, he should be given maximum latitude about how that is to be done. In the future, if Anthony wants to re-publish the library as a top-level boost library, then he needs to resubmit it again with samples and test cases, which are lacking. Requirements As per the usual boost library requirements, examples and test cases are needed. Anthony should also improve the documentation, which should not be a problem as he is a prolific author in the area of multi threaded programming.
