Stjepan, very good news! I'm glad to see that an important milestone has been reached. This library is of great interest to me. Though, I wasted no time to and started to play around with the library. As a start I'm trying to get the simple example compiled which can be found in your documentation: http://dancinghacker.com/code/dataflow/dataflow/introduction/dataflow.html But unfortunately including #include <boost/dataflow/signals/component/filter.hpp> brings my compiler to explode. Here are a list of the first few errors produced: c:\boost_trunk\boost\fusion\mpl\clear.hpp(26) : error C2039: 'tag_of' : is not a member of 'boost::fusion::detail' c:\boost_trunk\boost\fusion\mpl\clear.hpp(28) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::mpl::clear_impl<boost::fusion::fusion_sequence_tag>::apply<Sequence>' being compiled c:\boost_trunk\boost\fusion\mpl\clear.hpp(26) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ',' before identifier 'tag_of' c:\boost_trunk\boost\fusion\mpl\clear.hpp(26) : error C2065: 'tag_of' : undeclared identifier c:\boost_trunk\boost\fusion\mpl\clear.hpp(26) : error C2976: 'boost::fusion::detail::clear' : too few template arguments c:\boost_trunk\boost\fusion\mpl\detail\clear.hpp(27) : see declaration of 'boost::fusion::detail::clear' [...] I'm working with the boost trunk and use the MSVC compiler 7.1. I think I remember those errors from an earlier attempt to compile the dataflow lib. Is it my compiler or is my fusion version outdated. Although, as I mentioned I'm working with the trunk.

Hello,
I would like to request a formal review of the Dataflow.Signals layer of the Dataflow library. The Dataflow.Signals layer provides dataflow functionality based on function calls (using Boost.Signals), and is a result of the Signal Networks GSoC project from 2007. (The other layers of the Dataflow library are not quite ready, so for now I'd like to keep them as implementation details and/or examples of the Dataflow.Signals layer, and submit them for review at a later point.)
The documentation for the Dataflow library is located at: http://dancinghacker.com/code/dataflow/
Version 0.9.0 has been uploaded to the vault, in the Dataflow directory.
There are a few more things I plan to add before the library comes up for review, especially regarding the documentation and motivating examples.
Description:
The Dataflow library is a generic library for dataflow programming. Dataflow programs can typically be expressed as a graph in which vertices represent components that process data, and edges represent the flow of data between the components. As such, dataflow programs can be easily reconfigured by changing the components and/or the connections.
The Dataflow.Signals layer provides dataflow functionality based on function calls - which is one of the fundamental ways of dataflow in C++. For its data transport mechanism, Dataflow.Signals uses Boost.Signals which can be used to make lasting dataflow connections based on function calls.
Dataflow.Signals provides the following to facilitate signals-based dataflow networks:
* A number of useful general-purpose components, and building blocks for implementing new components. * Various free functions and operators for connecting and using components.
Kind regards,
