Agreed. There are a number of great cosmetic changes that Boost.Graph could use. At some point in the (hopefully near) future, I hope to be merging my SoC code. Ideally, the merge process would result in a branch of the trunk.
Sounds good.
Such a branch might also be open for a number of other improvements - like integrating other algorithms that have been in waiting in the wings.
Are there any particular algorithms you have in mind? We've been slowly integrating contributed algorithms into the trunk. The limitation has basically been that we need to find people with time to review the algorithms, tests, documentation, etc. before merging any code.
Of course, that might result in a brand new graph library (and may be subject to re-review).
No, I doubt it. We've talked offline a few times about building "version 2" of the Boost Graph Library, which would include many cosmetic cleanups, simplified interfaces, and probably remove many of the hacks for older compilers. Such an upgrade would be mostly backward-compatible and would not need a re-review. - Doug
