Review Schedule<br><br><a href="http://www.boost.org/more/formal_review_schedule.html">http://www.boost.org/more/formal_review_schedule.html</a> . <br><br>If you have any changes, post them as a reply to this thread. <br> <br>We need experienced review managers for many of the libraries<br>in the review queue. A few of them have been waiting for a <br>volunteer for a few months now, such as boost::exception, <br>boost::GloballyUniqueIdentifier and boost::scope_exit. <br><br>If your interested, let us know. Preferably, you will have<br>a background in the problem domain, but no association<br>with the library and are a regular contributer on the boost mailing list. <br>You can read the "review manager" requirements at the <br>following link:<br><br><a href="http://www.boost.org/more/formal_review_process.htm">http://www.boost.org/more/formal_review_process.htm</a><br><br>Most of the libraries are located at the Boost Sandbox Vault,<br>located here: <br><br><a href="http://boost-consulting.com/vault/">http://boost-consulting.com/vault/</a><br><br>Here is a summary of the libraries that are in the queue waiting<br>for a "review manager" volunteer.<br><br>------------------------------------- <br>Library: Exception <br>Author: Emil Dotchevski <br>Location: <a href="http://www.revergestudios.com/boost-exception/boost-exception.zip">http://www.revergestudios.com/boost-exception/boost-exception.zip</a> <br>Review Manager: Needed<br>Date: Needed<br>Summary:<br>The purpose of Boost Exception is to free designers of<br>exception classes from having to consider what data needs to<br>be stored in exception objects in order for the catch site to <br>be able to make sense of what went wrong. When Boost Exception<br>is used, arbitrary values can be stored in any exception. This can be<br>done directly in the throw-expression, or at a later time as the<br>exception object propagates up the call stack. The ability to add <br>data to any exception object after it has been thrown is important,<br>because often some of the information needed to handle an<br>exception is unavailable at the time of the throw.<br><br>----------------------------------------- <br>Library: Globally Unique Identifier <br>Author: Andy Tompkins <br>Location: Boost Sandbox Vault <br>Review Manager: Needed <br>Date: Needed<br>Summary:<br>A guid, or globally unique identifier, is an identifier <br>standard used in many disciplines including computer networks,<br>distributed computing, and databases. They can be used to tag<br>objects with very short lifetimes, to reliably identify very<br>persistent objects across a network. An attractive feature of <br>guids is their relative small size, of 128-bits, compared to<br>alternatives. Also the creation of guids does not require<br>a centralized authority.<br><br>-----------------------------------------<br>Library: Scope Exit <br>Author: Alexander Nasonov <br>Location: Boost Sandbox Vault <br>Review Manager: Needed <br>Date: Needed<br>Summary:<br>The scope-exit-arg-pp-seq is Boot.Preprocessor sequence<br>of identifiers that can be used inside scope-exit-body. <br>The direct-declarator is declarator-id followed by optional<br>argument of type boost::scope_exit_group (inside brackets or<br>after the equal sign). This construct executes scope-exit-body<br>at the close of the current scope. <br><br>----------------------------------- <br>Library: Floating Point Utilities<br>Author: Johan R�de<br>Location: Boost Sandbox Vault <br>Review Manager: Needed<br>Date: Needed<br>Summary:<br><br>Proposed Additions to the Boost Math Library <br><br><boost/math/fpclassify.hpp><br>Functions for floating point number classification:<br>fpclassify, isfinite, isinf, isnan, isnormal.<br>Follows TR1.<br><br><boost/math/signbit.hpp><br>Functions for floating point number sign bit access and modification: <br>signbit, copysign, changesign.
