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:

 https://github.com/ThePhD/out_ptr

Also, there is an associated standards proposal:
