I am very interested in using your library and I hope is included in Boost soon. Some comments I have related to what has been discussed in this thread: * It should be clearly stated in the docs that the performance gain is by using MMF (not RAF) which was not clear when I looked at the docs * Concurrent access - I think this is a key feature. Supporting regular files will be good for this as you can support easily concurrent access via locking at the expense of performance * Large file support - A practical approach to this would be to limit the support to 64-bit systems, which are starting to be very common and in which you don't have mmap issues. Would this be a good idea ? * Do you also plan to support what's described in Yao's paper "efficient locking for concurrent operations on b-trees" regards jose On 5/18/06, Slava, Alex <raf.devel@gmail.com> wrote:
Dear Boost Community,
Is there any interest in submission of a Random Access to Files (RAF) Library to Boost? Please see http://www.trukhanov.kiev.ua/RAF/ for documentation and an initial implementation.
Thank you,
