I'm the review manager of Boost.Task but the library is not ready for review, because now Boost.Task depends on Boost.Move, Boost.Fiber and Boost.Atomic (which is not yet on the review queue). Maybe the review withards could add this on the schedule page.
It's perfectly OK to move those 3 libraries to the 'detail' namespace of Boost.Task and have review as it is, as opposed to waiting. What do you think?
I think I caught hell for doing something similar in the serialization library. I had to make a number of components such as BOOST_STRONGTYPEDEF, state_saver, smart_cast, etc. which I put into boost - (not detail) and year afterwards this was raised as a huge problem. And this was even though the components had been their through two reviews. So I would be careful about doing this.
This really seems to make the "have a layered boost" proposal sensible. We should definetively separate core boost tools and utility library from system wide scale libraries. -- ___________________________________________ Joel Falcou - Assistant Professor PARALL Team - LRI - Universite Paris Sud XI Tel : (+33)1 69 15 66 35
