We need experienced review managers. Please take a look at
|
|
the list of libraries in need of managers and check out their
|
|
descriptions. If you can serve as review manager for any of
|
|
them, email Ron Garcia or Tom Brinkman "garcia at cs dot
|
|
indiana dot edu" and "reportbase at gmail dot com"
|
|
respectively.
|
|
|
|
|
|
A link to this report will be posted to www.boost.org. If
|
|
you would like us to make any modifications or additions to
|
|
this report before we do that, please email Ron or Tom.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you're library author and plan on submitting a library
|
|
for review in the next 3-6 months, send Ron or Tom a short
|
|
description of your library and we'll add it to the Libraries
|
|
Under Construction below. We know that there are many libaries
|
|
that are near completion, but we have hard time keeping track
|
|
all of them. Please keep us informed about your progress.

### Function Types
|
|
(mini-re-review)
|
|

|
|
| Description: | This library provides a
|
|
metaprogramming facility to classify, decompose and
|
|
synthesize function-, function pointer-, function
|
|
reference- and member function pointer types. For the
|
|
purpose of this documentation, these types are
|
|
collectively referred to as function types (this
|
|
differs from the standard definition and redefines the
|
|
term from a programmer's perspective to refer to the
|
|
most common types that involve functions).
|
|
The classes introduced by this library shall conform
|
|
to the concepts of the Boost Metaprogramming library
|
|
(MPL).
|
|
|
|
The Function Types library enables the user
|
|
to:
|
|
|
|
* test an arbitrary type for being a function
|
|
type of specified kind,
|
|
* inspect properties of function types,
|
|
* view and modify sub types of an encapsulated
|
|
function type with MPL Sequence operations,
|
|
and
|
|
* synthesize function types.
|
|
|
|
This library supports variadic
|
|
functions and can be configured to support non-default
|
|
calling conventions. |

### Promotion Traits
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Author: | Alexander Nasonov |
|
|
| Review Manager: | Tobias Schwinger |
|
|
| Download: | <http://cpp-experiment.sourceforge.net/promote-20050917.tar.gz> |
|
|
| Description: | Proposal to add promote,
|
|
integral\_promotion and floating\_point\_promotion class
|
|
templates to type\_traits library.
|
|
Alexander tried it on different compilers with
|
|
various success: GNU/Linux (gentoo-hardened): gcc 3.3
|
|
and 3.4, Intel 7, 8 and 9 Windows: VC7 free compiler
|
|
Sparc Solaris: Sun C++ 5.3 and 5.7
|
|
See comments at the beginning of
|
|
promote\_enum\_test.cpp for what is broken. |

### Intrusive Containers
|
|

|
|
| Download: | <http://people.freenet.de/turtle++/intrusive.zip> |
|
|
| Description: | While intrusive containers were
|
|
and are widely used in C, they became more and more
|
|
forgotten in the C++-world due to the presence of the
|
|
standard containers, which don't support intrusive
|
|
techniques. Boost.Intrusive not only reintroduces this
|
|
technique to C++, but also encapsulates the
|
|
implementation in STL-like interfaces. Hence anyone
|
|
familiar with standard containers can use intrusive
|
|
containers with ease. |

### Fusion

|
|
<http://spirit.sourceforge.net/dl_more/fusion_v2.zip> |
|
|
| Description: | Fusion is a library of heterogenous
|
|
containers and views and algorithms. A set of
|
|
heterogenous containers (vector, list, set and map) is
|
|
provided out of the box along with view classes that
|
|
present various composable views over the data. The
|
|
containers and views follow a common sequence concept
|
|
with an underlying iterator concept that binds it all
|
|
together, suitably making the algorithms fully generic
|
|
over all sequence types.
|
|
The architecture is somewhat modeled
|
|
after MPL which in turn is modeled after STL. It is
|
|
code-named "fusion" because the library is the "fusion"
|
|
of compile time metaprogramming with runtime
|
|
programming. |

### Pimpl
|
|
Pointer
|

|
|
under pimpl\_ptr. |
|
|
| Description: | The pimpl idiom is widely used to
|
|
reduce compile times and disable code coupling. It does
|
|
so by moving private parts of a class from the .hpp file
|
|
to the .cpp file. However, it's implementation can be
|
|
tricky, and with many pitfalls (especially regarding
|
|
memory management). The pimpl\_ptr library is a single
|
|
header file, implementing a special policy based smart
|
|
pointer to greately ease the implementation of the pimpl
|
|
idiom. |

### Property

Tree

|
|
| Download: | Boost Sandbox Vault -
|
|
property\_tree\_rev4.zip <http://kaalus.atspace.com/ptree> |
|
|
| Description: | Property tree is a data structure
|
|
- a tree of (key, value) pairs. It differs from its
|
|
cousin, "usual" property map, because it is hierarchical,
|
|
not linear. Thus, it is more like a minimalistic Document
|
|
Object Model, but not bound to any specific file format.
|
|
It can store contents of XML files, windows registry,
|
|
JSON files, INI files, even command line parameters. The
|
|
library contains parsers for all these formats, and
|
|
more. |

### Physical Quantities

|
|
| Description: | PQS (Physical Quantities System)
|
|
is used for modelling physical-quantities in C++
|
|
programs. The advantages over using built-in types in the
|
|
role include: trapping errors in dimensional analysis,
|
|
detailed semantic specifications for reliable and
|
|
repeatable conversions between units and
|
|
self-documentation of source code. PQS is based around
|
|
the principles and guidelines of the International System
|
|
of Units (SI). The library predefines a large number of
|
|
quantities, physical and maths constants using a common
|
|
syntax. The library also includes (or will soon include)
|
|
classes for manipulating quantities algebraically, for
|
|
example angles (radians, steradians,
|
|
degrees,minutes,seconds) and vectors, matrices and
|
|
quaternions for more advanced modelling of physical
|
|
systems. |
