Why? You need the cache to access the ymd from days and another to validate a date when construction a days date from ymd. Couldn't you have a cache indexed by year/month that gives you the number of days since an epoch (for some years of course)?
That means that I need to still calculate year and month. I want to cut this step too. I want to directly access y,m,d from the serial field. That's why. It doesn't mean that the array that you are suggesting wouldn't be present; both have different uses.
Is it okay to do so? The paper states clearly that interested people could request them. I would expect there is no problem for GSoC.
And now I see it too. Thanks, I would surely contact them. More the input, better the output! - Anurag. -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/gsoc-2013-draft-proposal-for-chrono-date-... Sent from the Boost - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
