Hi all,
normally, the review period of the Fixed Strings library written by Reece Dunn ended today. All we got so far are 3 reviews, which is too less to make a proper decision. I really would like to encourage you to submit a review for this library to get a representative result. For this reason I'ld like to extend the review period for another week until February 5th to allow for more reviews. I'm convinced, that a Fixed Strings library would make a good addition to Boost and in the end it should be useful to a lot more of people than to the 3 of us who send in a review.
A Fixed Strings library but this one? . What interests me is that the fixed_string library is way ahead as the top download in the Vault download list, but few reviewers have resulted. I feel the mystery can be explained by the reviews so far. looking through them we have all said pretty much the same thing.
For me personally, the reason I didn't submit any review, that I'm not completely understand the purpose of the library. The documentation (as few mentioned) lacks motivation and general description. So how can I review the library, if I can't understand what the library is trying to solve and how. I can't say for others, but for it is the reason. I suggest that even if documentation can't be updated during formal review, that the author will give a little more extended explanation here, at mail list. -- Best regards, Zigmar
