Re: [boost] [GSoC] Bits and Ints

Hi Gaurav, 1) When we are talking of Compressed Value Array, are we looking at a

functionality similar to the Deflater() class in Java, or something like Run Length Encoding / Delta Encoding?

This is actually simpler than that and mostly applies to types whose values can represented in less than 8 bits.

2) I am also not sure if I get what is meant by "but also for multi-bit values", do you mean multi-dimensional bit-fields?

It certainly could be. I think there might be some value in multi-dimensional bitfields.

3) Can we discuss the proposal-drafts on the mailing list, even after the application time frame begins (March 29, 2010, 19:00 UTC)?

Absolutely. Andrew Sutton andrew.n.sutton@gmail.com
