Boost Sandbox
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
When boost was developed using subversion, the Boost Sandbox
|
|
contained unreviewed code that is intended to eventually become
|
|
a part of the Boost libraries. New libraries should be
|
|
developed separately as [git
|
|
modules](https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/ModularBoost), and existing projects should be [moved to
|
|
GitHub](https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/ExtractSandbox). The sandbox remains as a historical record.

|
Accessing the Boost Sandbox
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Boost Sandbox lives at <https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox>
|
|
within the old Boost Subversion repository.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Organization
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
Because there were typically many projects in the sandbox at
|
|
any one time (in various stages of development), the sandbox
|
|
should have been organized by project. Each project should have
|
|
had its own subdirectory inside sandbox. For example,
|
|
an XML library would reside in sandbox/xml. Inside
|
|
that project-specific subdirectory, the project would be
|
|
organized like any other Boost library, with a boost
|
|
subdirectory (for headers) and libs subdirectory (for
|
|
source code, build files, and documentation). Our hypothetical
|
|
XML project would likely have had the following structure:
|
|
|
|
|
|
* sandbox/xml/
|
|
+ boost/ - Contains xml.hpp, which
|
|
includes all of the headers from xml/
|
|
- xml/ - Contains Boost.XML headers
|
|
+ libs/
|
|
- xml/
|
|
* build/ - Contains Jamfiles
|
|
to build Boost.XML
|
|
* doc/ - Contains documentation for
|
|
Boost.XML
|
|
* src/ - Contains Boost.XML compiled
|
|
source files
|
|
|
|
|
|
Many existing projects in the sandbox didn't follow this
|
|
structure, opting to place headers in sandbox/boost
|
|
and supporting files in sandbox/libs.
