Thanks for the docs, let me know if there are any areas which you could see using some help.
The docs could use some help. In particular, an intro/tutorial type of page. Or just a little example program that shows how a full active object can be built would definitely help. The active object could contain a few public active_function objects corresponding to the "servant" object's public methods, and a private shared_ptr<scheduler> (used by all the active_functions), and a private shared_ptr<servant> to hold the servant object. You might want to wait a few days though, as I'm currently in the process of making a few changes to the API. I've switched to using the slot class from thread_safe_signals for tracking, instead of boost::function + shared_ptr<void>. I'm going to split a reference-counted "promise" class out of the future class as suggested recently on this list, which is responsible for setting the values that futures see. I'm also adding support for forwarding exceptions from an active_function's underlying function to the returned future based on Peter Dimov's exception_ptr. - -- Frank -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFF9vgc5vihyNWuA4URAv13AKCDeiUzYfQu97UOHb9MaZL2dFuZtwCgoWQ3 VwbCVwVzAtCpNRq19Tb9EAM= =KJpH -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
