Mathias,'
Thanks for the feedback. I will look into Phoenix and we are aware that MultiIndex is extremely powerful. So, we intend to do a bit om MI.
 
I am interested in data structures that we have not included;is these more besides multi_array, uBLAS and BGL?
 
We have Function to be very useful for PDEs; a PDE is modelled as a colection of Function instances which have different implementations dependent on the type of PDE (e.g. hear equation, convection, Black Scholes). Compared to function pointers and Bridge pattern this approach is much easier. And for semi-discretisation, a pde coefficient like f(x,y,z,t) transforms to F(t) when the special mesh is used (using Bind).
 
How general are intrusive containers? Not just for embedded?
 
regards
 
Daniel

Lamba is more or less deprecated in favor of Phoenix.

How does Function help here?

A bit disappointing to not see more on data structures, which are
usually general topics that speak to everyone.

MultiIndex is a powerful toolbox that can be used to have features
similar to that of a database, for example.

The intrusive containers can also be very interesting from my own
experience with embedded systems.
