I would like to stress that the ODBC support was our important milestone that now allows us to claim a quite extensive coverage of existing database technologies. With this in mind, SOCI becomes even more serious and our roadmap for the nearest future is to bring the library to the state that will make it a valid candidate for inclusion into Boost. We will therefore welcome your guidance and suggestions w.r.t. Boost compliance.
It seems to me that there are a few basic things that need to be done:
- have a formal review
Yes, I think so.
- convert to boost build
Moving to/adding support of bjam is on our roadmap already.
- refactor src tree to be boost-like (boost tree, finer grained headers/cpp files)
Yes, we'are aware of this requirement too.
- write some tests (maybe I'm just missing them in the distro)?
When moving to Boost, we think Boost.UTF will be used.
- full reference docs
Currently, we have good docs I believe, but it would need to follow Boost doc format.
not necessarily in that order. Personally I tend toward having the review sooner. SOCI's interface as been mostly stable for awhile...although it looks like there's a few twists in this release. The review may uncover other issues that need to be resolved.
Yes, the outcome would be very interesting. Cheers -- Mateusz Loskot http://mateusz.loskot.net
