Dear All,
The fast track review of Frédéric Bron's extensions to the Type Traits Library is ending tomorrow. If you plan to submit a review, please do so as soon as possible.
Dear Joel, Frédéric, list, I am clearly *in favor* of this extension (BTW what would be the precise name for it?). I had fun evaluating it and trying a few experiments. Alas as a result of those and the discussion on the list, I reached a point where I feel I need some more time and I'd like to see some more discussion on a point that I'd like to highlight: Naming (1) has_operator_xxx seems to be imprecise and misleading. (2) has_operator_xxx introduces a redundant prefix 'has_operator' that IMO is unnecessary (3) If there are close relationships between Concepts and operator traits their names should express this relation as well. My current proposal is: plus_assign_callable or even better plus_assingable instead of has_operator_plus_assign PlusAssignable Name for the concept (I'm aware of: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/libs/utility/operators.htm#less_than_co... for potential name clashes though.) I'd like to elaborate more on my ideas on naming, but today I won't have time. Therefore I'd like to ask for extension of the review until Monday 03-21. If a general extension is not possible I request an extension for the submission for my review. Regards, Joachim -- Interval Container Library [Boost.Icl] http://www.joachim-faulhaber.de
