Herve: The proposal is very good :-) You are the principal author. Why not? I didn't write any words. I'll post my affiliation to you. I'll read the proposal and your codes. And I have much more test ideas. 2007/12/6, Hervé Brönnimann <hervebronnimann@mac.com>:
Dear Ben: It's been a long day, I started at 10:30pm after just putting my kids to bed (they were still up :(... ). It was the same last night except I didn't have the energy to start working on the proposal... Time is so short...
I just updated it, with the following links:
http://photon.poly.edu/~hbr/boost/combinations.html http://photon.poly.edu/~hbr/boost/combination.hpp http://photon.poly.edu/~hbr/boost/combination_ex.cpp http://photon.poly.edu/~hbr/boost/combination_test.cpp
Most importantly (and there can be typos in other pages, but this one I've tried to get as clean as possible):
http://photon.poly.edu/~hbr/boost/combination.pdf
is a draft of a proposal for C++0x (if it's not too late, I'm really not sure). I think all the algorithms are worth standardizing, but maybe they'll only consider next/prev_partial_permutation, and next/ prev_combination. That'd be already a good step forward.
You are right. Should we give up the repetition functions? So it'll be easy? The repetition functions are unusual.
Concerning authorship, Ben, I'd like you to be an author as well, can you send me (privately) your affiliation and any other coordinates. It might even be better if you're the principal (and perhaps even the only) author for the proposal. Cheers, -- Hervé Brönnimann hervebronnimann@mac.com
PS: Howard, as promised, I put you in cc. Perhaps we should quote your web page too (http://home.twcny.rr.com/hinnant/cpp_extensions/ combinations.html)? And I'll put you in the acknowledgments since your page suggested to me the for_each... algorithms I use at the beginning of our proposal.

Herve: Excuse me, I just can't find the proposal in the vault. Your combination proposal page, [http://photon.poly.edu/~hbr/boost/combinations.html], is also not updated.

Ben: Sorry for the radio silence, but time was well used. I have a full Boost library proposal articulated around your code with my modifications. I'll upload to the vault tonight... It has extensive example and full testing.
I also am working on a proposal for C++0x, or the TR2 if it can't be made to squeeze in. I'm hoping Howard Hinnant will sponsor the proposal given that he's more or less proposed such a library in the past (see his web site). Howard, if you read this, I'll contact you soon.
