Happy New Year! Here are some statistics regarding Boost
|
|
Library reviews in 2005:
|
|
|
|
|
|
* 12 Libraries were reviewed
|
|
* 8 Libraries were accepted
|
|
* 1 Library (Function Types) was accepted pending a
|
|
mini-review
|
|
* 2 Libraries were rejected
|
|
* 1 Library has yet to receive a final verdict (ASIO)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Policy Pointer has been removed from the review queue
|
|
because the author has stated that it is not quite ready.
|
|
|
|
|
|
We need 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, send one of
|
|
us an email.
|
|
Note:
|
|
If you have any suggestions about how we could improve
|
|
the Review Wizard's status report, please email "reportbase

Review Managers Needed
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are a few libraries in the review queue in need of
|
|
review managers. If you would like to volunteer to be a review
|
|
manager, please contact Ron or Tom.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following libraries still require review managers:
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Fusion
|
|
* Shmem
|
|
* Pimpl Pointer
|
|
* Type Traits (modification)
|
|
* Function Types

### Fixed
|
|
Strings

|
|
under fixed\_string |
|
|
| Description: | The fixed string library provides
|
|
buffer overrun protection for static sized strings (char
|
|
s[ n ]). It provides a C-style string interface for
|
|
compatibility with C code (for example, porting a C
|
|
program to C++). There is also a std::string-style
|
|
interface using a class based on flex\_string by Andre
|
|
Alexandrescu with a few limitations due to the
|
|
non-resizable nature of the class. |
|
|

### 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. |
|
|

|

### 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.

### Shmem

|
|
<http://ice.prohosting.com/newfunk/boost/libs/shmem/doc/html/index.html> |
|
|
| Description: | Shmem offers tools to simplify shared
|
|
memory usage in applications. These include shared
|
|
memory creation/destruction and synchronization
|
|
objects. It also implements dynamic allocation of
|
|
portions of a shared memory segment and an easy way to
|
|
construct C++ objects in shared memory.
|
|
Apart from this, Shmem implements a
|
|
wide range of STL-like containers and allocators that
|
|
can be safely placed in shared memory, helpful to
|
|
implement complex shared memory data-bases and other
|
|
efficient inter-process communications. |

### 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. |

### Type\_Traits (modification)

|
|
or <http://cpp-experiment.sourceforge.net/promote-20050917/> |
|
|
| 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. <http://cpp-experiment.sourceforge.net/promote-20050917/libs/type_traits/test/promote_enum_test.cpp>
|
|
Alexander requests a fast-track
|
|
review. |
