I'd like to propose a new Boost library for RAII wrapper classes that I think could be standardized to help promote the use of RAII.
So, not to be impatient, but where do we go from here? It sounds like a few folks agree and like the idea, one person think he can do without this, but how does a proposal like this get traction and make it in to Boost?
And, should I also post the other class here?
I think you should find someone who is willing to commit it to svn and then submit a patch that they can apply to boost trunk including tests and documentation.
I can help if you want. Probably not actually. But in spirit.
Actually, there's this procedure:
Also I personally found it useful to have submitted reviews for 3 lib before having Boost review my 1st lib (but that is /not/ a requirement for a lib author).
Specifically, a formal review is required before the library can be committed. Also, the library author should probably read this:
A couple of questions that will likely come up during the review: 1. How is the lib different from Scope Exit? 2. Shall the lib be added as an extension to Scope Exit? 3. Is the lib useful also on C++03 or only on C++11? HTH, --Lorenzo
