I'm doing a toy project which uses a lot of boost libraries. In the course of doing this, I'm reminded of something that has bugged me for a long time. That is the placement of lots of stuff inside the namespace boost.
The recent accepted Boost.Ratio library place all inside namespace boost. If the boost comuniti prefer I place it on boost::ratios namespace i wil adapt the code before releasing it.
+1, although I think the name should be boost::ratio rather than boost::ratios
If it has a type called "ratio" in it, "ratios" might be a better choice for the namespace. That, at least, is how tuple did it. I can't find a good rationale for that choice now, but once upon a time it used to be our recommended practice. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
