Proposal of a new container
Hi everyone, First, a short introduction of me. My name is Vanand, I'm from Armenia, 23 yo, C++ software Engineer. I'm new in the community and I've come with a proposal. I've implemented a prefix tree and tried to make it as STL compatible as possible. After a short investigation I found out that boost libraries don't provide one and here I am with a proposal. Here is the link to the repository: https://github.com/vgasparyan1995/prefix_tree It's a header only implementation, all source files are in "include" directory. I also have unit and performance tests. If the proposal (of having prefix tree container in boost) is accepted, I will ask for mentorship and support to make it "boost friendly" , create a proper documentation, meet the coding style and other guidelines. In the end I want to mention that I am new to this, so if I'm already doing something wrong or this is not the proper way to propose something, please kindly let me know and help to do it right. Looking forward to hearing from anyone :) Best Regards, Vanand

A direct link to the documentation would be helpful. Thanks, --Beman
Hi Beman, Thanks a lot for replying shortly. To be honest there is no documentation yet, so I'll go ahead and make it. Just to be sure that I'm doing it right, it'd be great to have an example, preferably a documentation of another boost container.

First, please don't top post. See www.boost.org/community/policy.html#quoting For a interest query like this, you don't need full documentation. But you do need some introduction documentation. For example, see the Introduction page for the Containers library at www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_67_0/doc/html/container.html. If there are other libraries available that provide similar functionality, it would be nice to see a brief description of how your library differs. And some performance measurements are always of interest. --Beman
Beman, thanks for the advice. Everything seems clear. I will prepare it and get back to you.
