The official end date of the review of the proposed Boost.Algorithms is this coming Saturday, October 1st. Please submit your review by then, and please vote on its acceptance! Thanks, Dave ,----[ Important Notes ] | - Please do not post your review or discussion as a reply to this ...<schnipp 1>... | message. | - Please begin your review's subject line with "[Review:Algorithms]" | - Please feel free to note any individual issues in the GitHub issue | tracker and make reference to them from your review. | - Please see below for *further* important notes `---- You can find the library at https://github.com/mclow/Boost.Algorithm. If you don't want to use Git, you can get a .zip or tarball snapshot at https://github.com/mclow/Boost.Algorithm/archives/master Description =========== The Boost Algorithms library is a work in progress; it is not meant to be a complete set of general purpose algorithms for C++ programming; but rather a small collection of useful algorithms, and a structure for adding more over time. The algorithms here fall into three basic categories: 1. Searching - Boyer-Moore Search - Boyer-Moore-Horspool Search - Knuth-Morris-Pratt search 2. Sequence properties - Tests to see if a sequence is ordered - Tests for the elements of a sequence 3. Miscellaneous - Constrain a value between two 'boundaries' (minmax) Potential Interactions with Existing Boost Libraries ==================================================== This submission potentially interacts with all of the following existing Boost libraries: * foreach - http://boost.org/libs/foreach * minmax - http://boost.org/libs/algorithm/minmax * range - http://boost.org/libs/range * string_algo - http://boost.org/libs/algorithm/string_algo Reviewers should consider these potential interactions. What to include in Review Comments ================================== - Keep your criticism constructive. Constructive criticism usually comes with specific suggestions for improvement. - If you identify problems along the way, please note if they are minor, serious, or showstoppers. - Please *do* vote on whether the library should be accepted. Everyone who takes the time to look at the library is qualified to vote, and every vote is valuable. - Other questions you might want to answer in your review: * What is your evaluation of the design? * What is your evaluation of the implementation? * What is your evaluation of the documentation? * What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library? * Did you try to use the library? With what compiler? Did you have any problems? * How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A quick reading? In-depth study? * Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain? -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
