While it might seem nice to have symmetry here, I think the emphasis is on HUMAN-readable output. MACHINE-readable formats would be shorter and probably not human-friendly. So my vote is NO REQUIREMENT for input facilities. But if they have no 'cost' then I vote YES for including them. In other words, I am sitting on the fence ;-) Paul Paul A Bristow Prizet Farmhouse, Kendal, Cumbria UK LA8 8AB +44 1539 561830 +44 7714 330204 mailto: pbristow@hetp.u-net.com | -----Original Message----- | From: boost-bounces@lists.boost.org | [mailto:boost-bounces@lists.boost.org] On Behalf Of John Torjo | Sent: 24 September 2004 17:47 | To: Boost list | Subject: [boost] FORMAL review of "Output Formatters" - votes needed | | Dear boosters, | | There's been quite a hot debate about "Output Formatters" library. | | Reece has provided some input facilies in this library as well. | This has drawn people to either sides: some don't want these input | facilities, while others do. | | To conclude, I would like to ask you to vote: | - "Yes" - in favor of Input facilities | - "No" - don't want Input facilities. | | | My personal vote is "No". | Please share your own. | | Best, | John | | Review Manager | | | | | | -- | John Torjo | -- john@torjo.com | | Contributing editor, C/C++ Users Journal | -- "Win32 GUI Generics" -- generics & GUI do mix, after all | -- http://www.torjo.com/win32gui/ | -- v1.4 - save_dlg - true binding of your data to UI controls! | + easily add validation rules (win32gui/examples/smart_dlg) | | | _______________________________________________ | Unsubscribe & other changes: | http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost | |
