Questions about incorporating my library into a new library within Boost
by Jooseong Lee 11 Aug '22

11 Aug '22

I recently wrote a general-purpose STL-like ordered associative B-Tree based container in C++. . Its API and usage is very similar to std::set, std::map, std::multiset, std::multimap, and when the number of elements is relatively large, my benchmark shows that it is 2.5~3 times faster than std::set and its friends. Repo link: https://github.com/frozenca/BTree This was better than I thought, so I'd like to contribute to the Boost community by incorporating it within the list of Boost libraries. I'd like to know if it's possible or if you think it's worth it. Best Regards, Jooseong Lee

beep sound from buzzer
by Daggumati, Rajesh 11 Aug '22

11 Aug '22

Hi Team, I am working on an instrument which is not having any speaker. It is having buzzer only. We use C++ BEEP() function to generate beep sound by using provided frequency number. Ex: Beep(1000,1000); This function is producing sound but its not audible as we don't have speakers. Can we have any specific function in boost so if we call that function then it will interact with buzzer and give sound .

[review][JSON] Review of JSON starts today: Sept 14 - Sept 23
by Pranam Lashkari 09 Aug '22

09 Aug '22

Boost formal review of Vinnie Falco and Krystian Stasiowski's library JSON starts today and will run for 10 days ending on 23 Sept 2020. Both of these authors have already developed a couple of libraries which are accepted in Boost(boost beast and Static String) This library focuses on a common and popular use-case for JSON. It provides a container to hold parsed and serialised JSON types. It provides more flexibility and better benchmark performance than its competitors. JSON highlights the following features in the documentation: - Fast compilation - Require only C++11 - Fast streaming parser and serializer - Easy and safe API with allocator support - Constant-time key lookup for objects - Options to allow non-standard JSON - Compile without Boost, define BOOST_JSON_STANDALONE - Optional header-only, without linking to a library (a point I would like to add in highlight: it has cool Jason logo 😝) To quickly understand and get the flavour of the library take a look at "Quick Look" <http://master.json.cpp.al/json/usage/quick_look.html> You can find the source code to be reviewed here: <https://github.com/CPPAlliance/json/tree/master> You can find the latest documentation here: <http://master.json.cpp.al/> Benchmarks are also given in the document which can be found here: <http://master.json.cpp.al/json/benchmarks.html> Some people have also given the early reviews, the thread can be found here: <https://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2020/09/249745.php> Please provide in your review information you think is valuable to understand your choice to ACCEPT or REJECT including JSON as a Boost library. Please be explicit about your decision (ACCEPT or REJECT). Some other questions you might want to consider answering: - 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 which compiler(s)? 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? More information about the Boost Formal Review Process can be found here: <http://www.boost.org/community/reviews.html> Thank you for your effort in the Boost community. -- Thank you, Pranam Lashkari, https://lpranam.github.io/

Potentially include xproc library in boost?
by Samuel Venable 08 Aug '22

08 Aug '22

Hi, I've tried sending an email about this already and no one responded from what I can tell. I guess because I was saying way too much. I was wondering if this code of mine could potentially be added to boost. xproc/process.cpp at main · time-killer-games/xproc (github.com)<https://github.com/time-killer-games/xproc/blob/main/apiprocess/process.cpp> It lets you get process information from foreign processes on a lot of platforms. Thanks.
