[mpl] naming the math project

I don't know what the current naming scheme would prescribe for an annex to a preexisting library, but I think Boost.MPL.Math, or MPL.Math for short, would make a fine name for use in discussions. "mpl_math" is just a file name I use when uploading to the vault, as is "metadouble" or "mpl_double" for your corresponding submissions. Cromwell D.

I hope that none of you mind my asking about something that has been debated vigorously before. But, what are the current developments towards including a GUI library into Boost ? Jonathan

Makes perfect sense now that you point it out. State changes are now recorded in the wait handlers - where the state is actually changed. %>] > Another thing is that changing the timer's expiry time while there are > unexpired async_waits has no effect on those waits.

I agree the documentation should be changed. I experienced some of that "undefined" behavior before I switched to the cancel/set instruction sequence. 8) [snip] > Cheers, > Chris Regards, Dick

[pool] Why no singleton_object_pool?

In [boost.pool], why is there no singleton_object_pool? Or is it already possible to achieve the same behavior? Joel Eidsath

Re: [boost] What is Boost?

Someone might take a peek at Scott Meyers "Effective C++, Third Edition". Chapter 55 is entitled, "Familiarize yourself with Boost." I bet there's an excellent summary in there. I'd take a look myself, but my copy is at home. Hope that helps.

Hi All, the xpressive review is now officially closed. That being said I know it's not a small library so if anybody(John?) feels like he can provide a review in the next few days I'll be happy to accept it. Thanks Thomas Review Manager xpressive

Unit test FP comparisons - memory leaks in debug

Yes, but the table will be different on an EBCDIC implementation than they are on an ASCII implementation. The point is that the specified table hard codes ASCII, so when somebody runs it on an IBM mainframe it will give the wrong answer. -- Martin Bonner Martin.Bonner(a)Pitechnology.com Pi Technology, Milton Hall, Ely Road, Milton, Cambridge, CB4 6WZ, ENGLAND Tel: +44 (0)1223 441434
