Not qualified to comment. | - What is your evaluation of the implementation? Not qualfied to comment. | - What is your evaluation of the documentation? Definitions given may be adequate, but is MUST have some user-friendly guidance as to when it would be useful. Even the summary would be better than nothing! | The Promotion Traits extend Boost.TypeTraits with templates | that compute the type after promotion has been applied. | | Example: | | // given | template<typename T> struct some_algorithm; | template<> struct some_algorithm<int> { [...] }; | // [...] more specializations | | // , | | [...] some_algorithm< typename integral_promotion<T>::type > [...] | // makes some_algorithm work for any type T that promotes to an integer | // (that is enums and smaller integral types) without the need for | // additional specialization Practical exampleS of use are ESSENTIAL. | - What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library? When useful, very useful. | - Did you try to use the library? No. | - How much effort did you put into your evaluation? Fast-track interrupt handling only ;-) | - Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain? No. | Please always explicitly state in your review, whether you | think the library should be accepted into Boost. Accept, subject to providing documentation.
