Hello Everyone, I want to participate in GSOC 2014, and boost C++ is looking me the most appropriate place where I can contribute efficiently. So how to get started with boost C++ libraries ? I have an Idea of implementing a library in boost. So what I do then , concentrate on library or something else With Regards Vineet Kumar, Indian Institute of Technology, BHU

thanks for your interest! Please have a look at the proposals at <https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/SoC2014>. If you are interested in any please tell us (here on the mailing list so that possible mentors can get in contact with you). If you want to make another proposal which is not on the Wiki again please tell us (again here on the mailing list so that we can see whether it's something suitable for Boost). Boris
I want to implement BigInteger, BigDecimal libraries for boost. I work most of the time with C++, java and C#. Such libraries are also not present for C++. HugeInt is limited to 40 decimal place. There functionality is essential for scientific mathematical calculations specially for cryptography. I also want to add some crypto stuff to it. Is this can be a valid proposal for boost to work upon? With Regards Vineet Kumar, Indian Institute of Technology, BHU On Thu, Jan 30, 2014 at 10:49 PM, Boris Schäling <boris@highscore.de> wrote:

Boost already has the Boost.Multiprecision library which implements the numbers with arbitrary precision. I think one of the best way for you is to look at https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/SoC2013. If you are interested with multiprecision you could see https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/SoC2013#Boost.Multiprecision Best regards, Anton.
I want to implement BigInteger, BigDecimal libraries for boost. I work most of the time with C++, java and C#. Such libraries are also not present for C++.
I believe some of our new features in Boost.Multiprecision might have functionality similar to Java's BigInteger and BigDecimal, with different interfaces, of course. We have some interest in extending these libraries to ultra-high precision via implementation of advanced multiplication algorithms. But I did not actually post this project due to the extreme technical challenge of mentoring it. If we find a student who is already familiar with big number techniques, we may be able to work up some project details.
HugeInt is limited to 40 decimal place. There functionality is essential for scientific mathematical calculations specially for cryptography. I also want to add some crypto stuff to it. Is this can be a valid proposal for boost to work upon?
There has been a lot of interest in cryptographic hash algorithms. I do not know the current state of affairs. But there have been numerous posts on this in the past. Best regards, Chris.

Hi, I want to participate in Gsoc and like Vineet I think that boost is the place which I could work better. I would like to contribute to a project that I have read about here: http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2013/10/206706.php but I don't know how to get through some from the project 2014-01-30 Boris Schäling <boris@highscore.de>
