Hi all, The formal review of the Unordered library, proposed by Daniel James, begins today : *Description*: An implementation of the unordered containers specified in TR1, with most of the changes from the recent draft standards. *Author*: Daniel James *Download*: http://www.boost-consulting.com/vault/index.php?action=downloadfile&filenam… The documentation is in the zip file. I've put documentation online here: http://igaztanaga.drivehq.com/unordered http://tinyurl.com/yw8wjp What to include in Review Comments ================================== Your comments may be brief or lengthy, but basically the Review Manager needs your evaluation of the library. If you identify problems along the way, please note if they are minor, serious, or showstoppers. Here are some questions you might want to answer in your review: * 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 what compiler? 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? And finally, every review should answer this question: * Do you think the library should be accepted as a Boost library? Be sure to say this explicitly so that your other comments don't obscure your overall opinion. Unordered containers are likely to become one of the most used Boost libraries so I encourage you to review the library in order to see if Unordered fulfills all your expectations.

[review] Fast track formal review of Forward library begins today
by John Torjo 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

Hi all, The formal review of the Boost.Functional/Forward library, proposed by Tobias Schwinger, begins today : Boost.Functional/Forward provides decorator function objects to have an n-ary, generic function object accept both RValues and mutable LValues. An exponential number of overloads is needed with C98, so redundant solutions are highly undesirable. Functional/Forward is a reusable implementation asking to live in a central place in Boost. Download it from here: http://www.boost-consulting.com/vault/index.php?action=downloadfile&filenam… http://www.boost-consulting.com/vault/index.php?&direction=0&order=&directo… The documentation is included in the .zip file, in the usual place: forward/libs/functional/forward/doc/html/index.html What to include in Review Comments ================================== Your comments may be brief or lengthy, but basically the Review Manager needs your evaluation of the library. If you identify problems along the way, please note if they are minor, serious, or showstoppers. Here are some questions you might want to answer in your review: * 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 what compiler? 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? And finally, every review should answer this question: * Do you think the library should be accepted as a Boost library? Be sure to say this explicitly so that your other comments don't obscure your overall opinion. We're looking forward to your evaluation of this Boost candidate!
