Any interest in a separate Boost.TR1 release/download?
I wonder if people would find a separate download for the Boost TR1 components useful ? At present this is vapourware: I'm not sure how easy it will be to sort out documentation and build issues when extracting the TR1 subset, but I'm prepared to put together a preliminary (alpha) release of such a beast if there's demand, and from there we can at least see how viable releasing such a Boost subset would be. Thought? Thanks, John.

An excellent idea. It would help to reduce the continuing muddles and unportability from the failure to require all these functions many years ago.

Anybody knows whether once TR1 becomes the standard, will it reside in std:: namespace or in tr1:: namespace ? Asking just out of curiosity :) -- Janek Kozicki |

Currently it's std::tr1, while the parts that have been folded into the working draft of the next std are in namespace std. John.

For C++-0 the parts adopted by the standard are moved directly into namespace std. They are also likely to be updated with support for concepts and rvalue referecences (move semantics / perfect forwarding) and we may even see varaidic templates in the function interface. Note that Special Math functions did not make it past full committee, and the Random Numbers Library has expanded and simplified at the same time - so the TR1 implementation has done a good job of testing the waters, but we will have a stronger library in the standard. -- AlisdairM

This may be a good way to introduce boost into the organization with my new employer(although I'm working at getting all of boost in). Are all TR1 libs header only? Does boost currently have all the TR1 libs? Thanks, Jeff Flinn

Regex needs a separate lib build. We are currently missing: Hash tables. Special Functions The C99 C std lib additions. For those interested the documentation for Boost.TR1 is here: http://www.boost.org/regression-logs/cs-win32_metacomm/doc/html/boost_tr1.ht... but note that many links (to the documentation for the various components) may be broken because this site doesn't house the full Boost distribution. Even so it should give a good idea of what's available. John.

I think this is a fabulous idea, but you knew that already ;?) And as a data point, we have been using Boost TR1 implementation from the 1.34 RC branch for around 4 months now, and it works great for us - at least with the TR1 components we are using. Ported all our projects over a couple of nights, several (TR1) components at a time. -- AlisdairM
