I am wondering, what is the status of the Boost.Conversion library? are you interested on the library? the review status? I am interested in the library. I am sorry it has taken such a ridiculously long time to file a report.
I don't think it's any secret that the library is rejected, the core problem being that there is no universal conversion domain, so a mechanism relying on template specialization and overloaded functions was found to be unworkable.
At the moment I am particularly interested in the ptime<--> chrono conversions (there isn't functionality for that elsewhere in Boost, is there?), but the library as a whole seems interesting and useful. I agree that the idea of the library is interesting and useful.
I suggest that Vicente might publish these individual conversion routines as plain old functions (or functors) in the Chrono source, while we wait for some acceptable general-purpose framework to plug them into for a nice generic interface.

Hi, I would prefer to avoid a dependency from Boost.Chrono to Boost.DateTime. The conversions are not too difficult. You could adapt them for your own application avoiding any hole I could have in my first implementation ;-) Best, Vicente
