interest in 'tagged variant'? Useful in non-string spirit parsing.
by Larry Evans 20 Dec '07

20 Dec '07

A recent thread in spirit.general NG suggested to me the need for a 'tagged variant' extension to boost::variant in order to emulate the tagged-union mentioned in this post in the thread: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.parsers.spirit.general/12611 A prototype of such an extension is available in variant_tagged.zip here: http://www.boost-consulting.com/vault/index.php?&directory=Data%20Structures Use of the variant_tagged could be used whenever non-string processing is required in a spirit parser. Each tag in the using corresponds to a token-id and each value associated with that token-id is the attribute for that token-id. This closely emulates the way yacc does it, IIRC, except it just uses a union and the tag is somehow "implicit". Is there any interest in using this in spirit or boost in general?

query for interest...
by ken smith 20 Dec '07

20 Dec '07

Hi, Is there any interest in my implementing support for a specific threading model? The library would expose an event manager (driven by an external thread or self-sufficient) with which modules register a callback to be called from any number of registered single-shot or periodic interval entries. A natural extension of the model is to include support for socket triggers. Another would be to provide a pool of such event managers. This code would leverage existing boost libraries such as thread, possibly function, etc. One example of use is with server frameworks wherein processing of several client connections can be handled by a single event manager. Thanks, Ken

[asio] How many outstanding async_ operations allowed?
by Roland Schwarz 20 Dec '07

20 Dec '07

To my surprise I was not able to find anything in asio's documentation that would tell me 1) whether it is allowed to have more than one async_* operation waiting for completion and 2) how many such (if allowed at all) are permitted. Is this because I overlooked this part or do I not understand something fundamental? I would be glad to get some hints about this. Regards roland aka speedsnail

[review] Formal Fast-Track review of the Boost.Functional/Factory library - 2 days left
by John Torjo 20 Dec '07

20 Dec '07

Hi all, There are only 2 days left from the formal Fast-Track review of the Boost.Functional/Factory library. We've had just one review, and we need more. If you are interested in the library (you should be :)), please take some time to review it. This is the info you need to do a review on: *Description* Factories are callback mechanisms for constructors, so we provide two function objects, boost::value_factory and boost::factory, that encasulate object construction through direct application of the constructor or operator new, respectively. These templates make other facilities that operate on function objects (such as standard algorithms, Boost.Bind, Boost.Function, or Fusion functional adapters) applicable to constructors. *Author* Tobias Schwinger *Download* Get it from here: http://www.boost-consulting.com/vault/index.php?action=downloadfile&filenam… Read documentation online here: http://torjo.com/tobias/ 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. Best, John Torjo - Review Manager - -- http://John.Torjo.com -- C++ expert ... call me only if you want things done right

[graph] Custom Selectors
by Dean Michael Berris 20 Dec '07

20 Dec '07

Hi Guys, Is there a definitive guide in the Boost.Graph documentation about how to create custom selectors? I'm particularly interested in selectors that return STL types that use a different allocator parameter. How about a selector that chooses an STL vector using the Boost.Pool allocator, or a selector that chooses an STL set using the Boost.Pool Fast Allocator? I've gone through the BGL book (which is a bit dated, though still very much relevant) but I haven't seen a discussion about custom selectors. Pointers would be most appreciated. Have a great day everyone! -- Dean Michael C. Berris Software Engineer, Friendster, Inc. [http://cplusplus-soup.blogspot.com/] [mikhailberis(a)gmail.com] [+63 928 7291459] [+1 408 4049523]

19 Dec '07

Hello, I request that the Candidate Boost Flyweight Library be accepted into the review queue. The latest public version of the library is described at http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2007/11/130274.php There is no pre-appointed review manager for this library. Thank you, Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

[review] Review of Unordered library begins today December 7
by Ion Gaztañaga 19 Dec '07

19 Dec '07

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][unordered] Unordered accepted
by Ion Gaztañaga 19 Dec '07

19 Dec '07

Hi to all, The Unordered library submitted by Daniel James has been *accepted* into Boost. Thanks to all reviewers and all who contributed to the library before the review. We've received 8 reviews (Thosten Ottosen, Chun Ping Wang, Hervé Brönnimann, John Torjo, Cromwell Enage, Jamie Allsop, Graham Mark and Paul Bristow), and all were positive (since Chun's only complain was packaging and his ratings were all above 7 out of 10). Darren Cook privately sent me a positive mini-review (attached below). If I've missed any review, please let me know. I plan to write a post this weekend with a summary of requests/suggestions and Daniel's replies. Congrats Daniel! Regards, Ion /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Hi Ion, Not critical but the images seem to be missing. E.g. on http://igaztanaga.drivehq.com/unordered/unordered/buckets.html If I find time I will try out the library and write a review in the week, but here is a mini-review (feel free to forward to the list - I'm not subscribed at the moment): Documentation: * Fine * The concrete examples of how to use a custom type, and a custom hash function, and do everything in portable TR1, are wonderful - I've searched before and never been able to find something as clear as this seems to be. * In Table 1.4: "No equivalent. No idea why." is not very Boost-like :-) . Isn't the reason simply that there is no ordering in hash containers, so therefore no ordering function? > > * What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library? > > * Do you think the library should be accepted as a Boost library? Yes. It is essential it gets into Boost as rapidly as possible; in fact I think it should be released as a patch to the current release. Having all of TR1 except for the hashed containers is a nasty red pimple on the otherwise very handsome nose of Boost. In particular, Visual C++ *still* does not ship with TR1 ("no plans until 2009" was the rumour I found), so anyone wanting to ship portable code is relying on Boost. And, at least for me, unordered_map is the single most useful library in TR1. Darren
