Good morning Guys. Do you think it feasible to have a section in boost.org that shows (& permits download) the libraries' source-code at its bare-minimum, without all the configuration to clutter the code? The only problem with easily & clearly understanding the boost libraries is the abundance of conditional compilation directives, & a multitude of macros for some libraries. This makes it hard to read & understand. Seeing the bare source-code without the directives & macros (I know it is very necessary for portability, & avoiding boiler-plate code) would make the concepts easier to understand. In addition, I do agree with Scott Meyers in the section below, from the link: http://www.artima.com/cppsource/top_cpp_aha_moments.html#r10 "...Second, I think it's regrettable that this kind of innovation doesn't often get written up and disseminated for the wider C++ development community. Boost does an enviable job of fostering the creation of useful software, including user-level documentation that is at least serviceable. I wish it did a better job of getting the word out on the design and implementation techniques employed by the library authors, because there's some really interesting-and largely unknown-stuff going on under the hood in Boost libraries..." What is your opinion on both these issues? I do believe the entire C++ community would benefit from both. Awaiting your feedback. Thank you. Have a nice day. ______________________________________________________________________ Kizza George Mbidde | Interconnect Billing Systems Analyst | MTN Uganda | MTN Towers 22 Hannington Road | P.O.
