I added several algorithms that extent STL algorithms set. I use them in my Boost.Test development. But since they seems to be generic and IMO should be present in STL I propose to push them in boost/algorithm.hpp (or under boost/algorithm). I remember there was a discussion already about these algorithms. Here is the list (I hope name and spec is self -explanatory):
Why are they inlined? None are small enough to justify that. Other than that, they look highly useful.
If we don't find this header eligible for review I would like to ask then for permision to at least put this algorithm in boost namespace (currently boost::unit_test), for it inconvenience for me to keep it in deep namespace.
Isn't a namespace alias sufficient to solve that problem? -- Rob Stewart stewart@sig.com Software Engineer http://www.sig.com Susquehanna International Group, LLP using std::disclaimer;
