I've attached a little patch that makes iostreams::code_converter flushable. It seems like it really should be. Is there any chance someone could look at this? I've included some test code as well that outputs the following. Is anyone actually interested in this? I've been working on moving the fastcgi++ library over to boost iostreams but unless this patch is applied I cannot actually do so. One cannot derive from iostreams::code_converter to make it flushable because the necessary components are private and not protected.
Is there any chance whatsoever of getting this patch applied or am I just wasting my time?
It sounds interesting to me. Start with a Trac ticket <https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/query>. (I searched for code_converter in iostreams tickets but didn't see this.) Set all the fields carefully, including Milestone and Version, and add yourself to the Cc. And (if you haven't already) adapt your test code so it fits with other tests in libs/iostreams/test. But don't stop there. Get in touch with the author (see libs/maintainers.txt in your boost distribution), and propose it to him. If his e-mail is out of date, maybe someone on this list could help find him. It's all up to the maintainer. Pitch it to him as requiring very little of his time. It appears he hasn't been around for a while, based on posts to this list. <http://www.ask.com/web?qsrc=2990&o=0&l=dir&q=Turkanis+site%3Alists.boost.org>. Hope that helps. -Jim
