Hi all,

The formal review of the Boost.Functional/Forward library, proposed by Tobias Schwinger, begins today :

Boost.Functional/Forward provides decorator function objects to have an n-ary, generic function object accept both RValues and mutable LValues.

Sorry, this is not a review. Ignore this if irrelevant.

Was boost::detail::functionN family in Boost.Accumulators considered? That seems more advanced than Boost.Functional/Forward.

FWIW, starting from Abrahams' callable and functionN, I've been implementing a similar library: http://tinyurl.com/vd4r5 , which regards Boost.Functional/Forward facility as one of higher-order functions, `perfect`.

Hmm. Did anyone reply to this? I think if someone points to an alternative library with that level of maturity during a review, it shouldn't be ignored. We should at least have a discussion of the relative merits of the two approaches before taking a vote. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
