Request for Review - Boost Algorithm

Boost.Algorithm is a collection of useful algorithms, most from the "Library in a week" session from BoostCon 2008. The code (and tests) are available in the sandbox. -- Marshall

What does Boost Algorithm contain? "Collection of useful algorithms" tells me nothing. Could you also please link to its location in the sandbox. Patrick On Wed, Jul 22, 2009 at 1:47 PM, Marshall Clow <mclow.lists@gmail.com>wrote:

Is there some documentation that describes the algorithms and their implementations? The doc directory doesn't contain any documentation - is it somewhere else? Thanks -- Craig

My opinion: it contains things that overlap with RangeEx or lambdas, and combining the right tools is simple enough that it outweighs the bloat of defining many new names and algorithms. iota, for example, is nothing more than transform with a simplistic phoenix expression (ref(v)++). transform_if should either be provided by RangeEx directly or can simply be transform on a filtered range.
