Within the last two weeks, I submitted two patches to boosts ticket system, one correcting a bug in the preprocessor library, one slightly extending a macro improving symmetry when converting list types. I spotted more dubious code in the library, for example, I could easily remove hundreds of lines of dead code from preprocesser/seq/fold_left.hpp, and simplify BOOST_PP_SEQ_FOLD_LEFT saving between 15% and 90% of its execution costs (measured in macro replacements), depending on the input.
Make sure that it's portable. Most of the preprocessors out there have slightly different behavior for macro replacement.
When submitting the patches I followed the instructions on the bug reporting page of boosts web site. There has been no reaction so far. Did I get something wrong?
No. I noticed them and I was planning on reviewing them after 1.44 goes out.
Would like to learn how patches like these are going to be handled.
