[FPR] Review of FPR starts Today: Sept 28 - Oct 7
by Benedek Thaler 03 Oct '20

03 Oct '20

The Boost formal review of the FPR (Flat Precise Reflection, ex Magic Get, ex PODs Flat Reflection) takes place from September 28, 2020 to October 7, 2020. The library is authored by Antony Polukhin, author of Boost.DLL, Stacktrace, Type Index libraries. Documentation: http://apolukhin.github.io/magic_get/ Source: https://github.com/apolukhin/magic_get The library is meant for accessing structure elements by index and providing other std::tuple like methods for user defined types without any macro or boilerplate code. The FPR documentation summarizes the out-of-the-box added functionality for aggregate initializable structures: - comparison operators - heterogeneous comparators - hash - stream operators - access to members by index - member reflections - methods for cooperation with std::tuple - methods to visit each field of the structure If the description isn't immediately obvious for you, here's a motivating example: // requires: C++14 #include <iostream> #include <string> #include "boost/pfr/precise.hpp" struct some_person { std::string name; unsigned birth_year; }; int main() { some_person val{"Edgar Allan Poe", 1809}; std::cout << boost::pfr::get<0>(val) // No macro! << " was born in " << boost::pfr::get<1>(val); // Works with any aggregate initializables! } Please provide in your review information you think is valuable to understand your choice to ACCEPT or REJECT including FPR 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 Thank you for your effort in the Boost community. Benedek - review manager of the FPR library

[review] [text] Text formal review
by Glen Fernandes 11 Jun '20

11 Jun '20

Dear Boost community, The formal review of Zach Laine's Unicode library, Text, begins today (June 11th) and ends on June 20th. The library provides three layers: - The string layer, a set of types that constitute "a better std::string" - The Unicode layer, consisting of the Unicode algorithms and data - The text layer, a set of types like the string layer types, but providing transparent Unicode support Code: https://github.com/tzlaine/text Docs: https://tzlaine.github.io/text The master branch of the repository will be frozen for the duration of the review. Text requires C++14 or higher, and supports GCC 5+, Clang 3.6+, and MSVC 2017. Zach initially presented the library at C++Now in 2018. He also intends to standardize a library solution for Unicode based on this work. Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=944GjKxwMBo Slides: https://tinyurl.com/boost-text-slides We encourage your participation in this review. At a minimum, kindly state: - Whether you believe the library should be accepted into Boost * Any conditions for acceptance - Your name and knowledge of the problem domain. You are strongly encouraged to also provide additional information: - What is your evaluation of the library's: * Design * Implementation * Documentation * Tests * Usefulness - Did you attempt to use the library? If so: * Which compiler(s) * What was the experience? Any problems? - How much effort did you put into your evaluation of the review? Even if you are not submitting a formal review, your feedback on the library is welcome. Glen

Please take a look at the list of libraries in need of managers and check out their descriptions. In general review managers are active boost participants, including library contributors, infrastructure contributors, and other mailing list participants with a substantial track record of constructive participation. If you can serve as review manager for any of them, email us at Mateusz Loskot (mateusz at loskot dot net) or John Phillips (johnphillipsithaca at gmail dot com). We are also suffering from a lack of reviewers. While we all understand time pressures and the need to complete paying work, the strength of Boost is based on the detailed and informed reviews submitted by you. If you are interested in reviewing a library but won't have time during the review period, you can always prepare your review ahead of time. No rule says you can only work on a review during the review period. A link to this report will be posted to www.boost.org. If you would like us to make any modifications or additions to this report, please email Mateusz. The review schedule is an unordered list of the libraries awaiting review. As such, any library on the schedule can be reviewed once the developer is ready, a review manager has been secured, and the manager, developer, and wizards agree on a date to schedule the review. Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net
