NOTE: I forgot to cross-post this to this list on Jun 16th; I only posted to boost and boos-users. My apologies to anyone who relies on this list for notification of reviews (I know of at least one)!
Dear Boost community,
The formal review of JeanHeyd Meneide's out_ptr library starts Sunday, June 16th
and ends on Wednesday, June 26th.
out_ptr is a library for making it easy to interoperate between smart pointers and traditional C-style initialization and allocation interfaces. It also enables doing so in a way that allows library authors to opt into speed optimizations for their smart pointers that give them performance equivalent to typical C pointers (see benchmarks (https://github.com/ThePhD/out_ptr/blob/master/docs/out_ptr/benchmarks.adoc) and the Standard C++ proposal for more details).
Online docs can be found here:
https://github.com/ThePhD/out_ptr/blob/master/docs/out_ptr.adoc
The GitHub repository is available here:

Also, there is an associated standards proposal:

We encourage your participation in this review. At a minimum, please state:
- Whether you believe the library should be accepted into Boost
- Your name
- Your knowledge of the problem domain
You are strongly encouraged to also provide additional information:
- What is your evaluation of the library's:

* What was the experience? Any problems?
- How much effort did you put into your evaluation of the review?
All issues discussed during this review will be tracked on the library's
GitHub issue tracker at https://github.com/ThePhD/out_ptr/issues.
