Review Wizard Status Report 1) Summary 2) Review Managers Needed 3) Review Schedule 4) More IO Review - August 18, 2004 5) Iostreams Review - August 28, 2004 1) Summary The next three libraries under review extend the c++ iostreams framework through stream modifiers. Please be prepared to discuss these libraries in the coming weeks. The following links provide a good background to the c++ iostreams framework.

If you have experience with I/O related extensions, manipulators and stream buffers, please contact me through private email. 3) Review Schedule Confirmed Dates August 18, 2004 More IO - Daryle Walker (Review Manager Needed) August 28, 2004 Iostreams - Jonathan Turkanis (Review Manager Needed) Proposed Dates September 7, 2004 Output Formatters - Reece Dunn September 15, 2004 Mini-Review of small-algorithims from wiki September 17, 2004 Pointer Containers - Thorsten Ottosen September 27, 2004 Named Params - David Abrahams & Daniel Wallin October 6, 2004 Wave - Hartmut Kaiser October 16, 2004 Policy Pointer - David Held October 26, 2004 Finite State Machine (FSM) - Andreas Huber 4) More IO Review - August 18, 2004, Daryle Walker This library still needs a review manager. Download: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/more_io_4.zip Provides a multitude of I/O-oriented extensions. Some are extra manipulators; variants of "std::endl", a resetting manipulator, and a configurable manipulator. The library includes a set of base class templates for wrapping a new stream-buffer type around a stream class. Changes from the last interim version (called "more_io_3b.zip"): * split the manipulator header into several headers * refined the license statements in some already-affected files Changes from the first formal review (called "more_io.zip"): * refined the interface and implementation of array-streams and stream-buffer wrappers (including a wrapping example) * added the null-stream, value-stream, and pointer-stream headers * added generalizations to the new-line and skip-line manipulators * added the non-oriented 'reset' and 'form' manipulators * split the manipulator header into several headers * changed the license statements 5) Iostreams Review - August 28, 2004, Jonathan Turkanis This library still needs a review manager. Web-Page: http://home.comcast.net/~jturkanis/iostreams Download: http://home.comcast.net/~jturkanis/iostreams The Iostreams Library serves two main purposes: To allow the easy creation of standard C++ stream and stream buffer classes for new data sources and sinks. To provide a convenient interface for defining i/o filters and attaching them to standard streams and stream buffers. The library focuses on freeing users from writing boiler plate code and allowing them instead to create highly reusable components. In addition to providing an abstract framework the library provides a number of concrete filters, sources and sinks which serve as example applications of the library but are also useful in their own right. These include components for accessing memory-mapped files (based on work of Craig Henderson) , for file access via operating system file descriptors, for code conversion, for text filtering with regular expressions, for line-ending conversion and for compression and decompression in the zlib, gzip and bzip2 formats.
