[dataflow] version 0.8.1: runtime reflection, dataflow network modeling via BGL...
Hello everyone, I have uploaded a new version of the dataflow library to the vault (in the Dataflow directory), and updated the docs at: http://dancinghacker.com/code/dataflow/ The new version introduces the Dataflow.Blueprint layer, which provides runtime reflection of components/ports, as well as modeling and analysis of dataflow networks via BGL. This new layer is still full of hacks, its documentation is limited to a messy example, but I'm excited about having started it. This version also has some documentation updates and some additional examples (such as a little image processing dataflow example using Boost.GIL). If anyone is interested, my roadmap to requesting review looks like this: * add lots and lots of docs. * bring the Dataflow.Blueprint to some reasonably usable state. * move functionality from the overabused Port-related concepts into the Component concept, which should clean up and simplify the concepts dramatically. With this, I think the library will be in decent shape to request a review (it will have one dataflow framework modeling the generic concepts - Dataflow.Signals, and one layer built on top of the concepts, - Dataflow.Blueprint). My goal is to get there in the next month (which is only 5 months after GSoC close! :-)) By the time it actually gets to be reviewed, I hope to also add in another dataflow framework that would in some way address the things currently missing from this library (there are many). Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks to Phil Endecott, Pavel Vozenilek, John Torjo, Roland Schwarz and Neal Becker for their helpful feedback on the previous version. Regards, Stjepan
