Well if you want we can develop it further. I can give a hand and we can share our ideas.
I'm still interested in seeing what you've developed and in your ideas, as we've discussed off-list. but considering the lack of replies and that a boost library submission requires a review manager, several reviewers, and more people interested, I came to the conclusion that it will probably not end up a boost library even if we'll finish it. if anyone disagrees please share your first impression of the documentation available at https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/persistent/libs/persistent/doc/html/... Thank You
It is a library with the goal of storing C++ objects on disk, with an interface that is as close as possible to accessing regular C++ objects in memory. A very simple example could look like this:
shared_loc<person> p=...; { transaction tx; p->name="..."; p->address="..."; tx.commit(); }
It is based on Boost.Serialization, but automatically maintains a consistent state on disk (ACID transactions), which can be updated incrementally.
Part of its code was moved to a library named Transact to work alongside other transactional resources (like memory) and is available in the sandbox: https://svn.boost.org/svn/**boost/sandbox/transaction/**boost/transact/<https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/transaction/boost/transact/>
I'd like to know whether the boost community is still interested in such a library, and I suppose there are quite a few new people here so your comments are welcome as well.
Thank You!
