be put in the queue? I'd like to get my expression template library (Proto) in the queue, and considering how deep the queue is at the moment, I think I'll have plenty of time to finish the docs before the review happens.
Is this something similar to Daixtrose? If so, I'd be very interested in trying it out - I have a number of classes that I've been wanting to add expression templates to but have not been able to find the time. It sounds like it is in at least beta shape - where does it live now?
Proto aims to be more that an ET framework. It's a domain-specific embedded language framework. In addition to ET building and evaluation capabilities (which is what Daixtrose does, IIUC), Proto provides facilities for building DSEL grammars. You can use the grammars to control operator overloading and, more importantly, for building tree transforms. Think of Proto as the compile-time equivalent of Spirit, where Proto's tree transforms are like Spirit's semantic actions. Proto is more than in beta shape. The code is done, and is being heavily used by Xpressive, and by Spirit2 and Karma (in development). The docs, which need work, are available here: http://boost-sandbox.sourceforge.net/libs/proto/doc/html/. The code is in boost cvs HEAD at $BOOST_ROOT/boost/xpressive/proto. I will be talking about Proto at BoostCon. Have you signed up yet? <nudge> http://www.boostcon.com -- Eric Niebler Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
