Hi,
maybe some of you have already see the Howard Hinnant presentation
at CppCOn2015 [1] about his new data-v2 library [2]. My prototype
of Boost.Chrono/Date library ([3] ] was based on the Howard original library, but when we want to
reach the maximum of performances we need to use a specific date
class for each usage. This is what Howard explains in his
marvelous presentation ans his tiny date library
My post here wants to know if there is interest in a library
providing what H.H. date library provides in Boost.
Note that his data-v2 library yet doesn't provides as much as Boost.Date
provides but IMHO it is much elegant and efficient. If there is
enough interest, I will request you to do a first review of the
H.H. Date-V2 library.
Then once we have a consensus I will make my POC Chrono/Date
library ready for review.
H.H. Date-V2 is under MIT license, which IIRC is compatible with
the Boost license. I don't know yet if would need to add this
license, as my POC [3] is already a good starting point,
nevertheless, I would like to know if there could be any issues
about having the source under both licenses.
Best,
Vicente
