I'd like to request a formal review of the TypeErasure library that I've posted about several times before here.
The TypeErasure library is a generalization of boost::any and boost::function. It allows easy composition of arbitrary type erased operators.
As an example of basic usage, we can simulate Boost.Any:
any<mpl::vector<copy_constructible<>, typeid_<> > > x(10); int i = any_cast<int>(x); // i == 10
The library is available in the Boost Sandbox at http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/type_erasure/
You can download archives with pre-built documentation from http://sourceforge.net/projects/steven-watanabe.u/files/
Online documentation can be found here: http://steven_watanabe.users.sourceforge.net/type_erasure/libs/type_erasure/
Hello Steven, I quickly read the docs (see a couple of minor comments below). I'll compile and play with the examples this weekend. I'm interested in the library. If you are looking for a Review Manager, I'd like to volunteer if that's OK with you and the Review Wizards. Minor Comments 1) It'd be nice to have a motivating example up front (something not trivial but not as complex as the range formatter either). 2) Why placeholders _a, _b, ... instead of _1, _2, ...? 3) I found the syntax of concept_interface difficult to understand... for example, Base looks arbitrary. But then it's very nice to be able to c.push_back(10) instead of call(...) 4) Same for overloaded concept_interface where both Base and Enable look arbitrary. (I wonder if macros could generate some of the boiler-plate code for the overload.) 5) There's a FIXME in the Reserved Identifier section. --Lorenzo -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/Formal-Review-Request-TypeErasure-tp46303...
