A friendly reminder that the review period for [Boost.Describe] will finish
at the end of tomorrow - 10th March 2021
We've had some excellent feedback already, and would value more.
If you can spare a few hours of your valuable time, please consider
reviewing this neat little library and posing your results on this mailing
list.
The invitation is repeated below:
The Boost formal review of the Describe starts Monday, taking place from
March 1st, 2021 to March 10th, 2021 (inclusive).
The library is authored by Peter Dimov.
Documentation: https://pdimov.github.io/describe/doc/html/describe.html
Source: https://github.com/pdimov/describe
The library provides a simple means of providing reflection for structures
and enums in C++.
The documentation contains a number of common motivating examples,
including:
- A universal print function
https://pdimov.github.io/describe/doc/html/describe.html#example_print_function
- JSON serialisation
https://pdimov.github.io/describe/doc/html/describe.html#example_to_json
Please provide in your review information you think is valuable to
understand your choice to ACCEPT or REJECT including Describe as a
Boost library. Please be explicit about your decision (ACCEPT or REJECT).
Some other questions you might want to consider answering:
- What is your evaluation of the design?
- What is your evaluation of the implementation?
- What is your evaluation of the documentation?
- What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library?
- Did you try to use the library? With which compiler(s)? Did you
have any problems?
- How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A quick
reading? In-depth study?
- Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain?
More information about the Boost Formal Review Process can be found
at: http://www.boost.org/community/reviews.html
The review is open to anyone who is prepared to put in the work of
evaluating and reviewing the library. Prior experience in contributing to
Boost reviews is not a requirement.
Thank you for your efforts in the Boost community. They are very much
appreciated.
