to boost and boos-users.  My apologies to anyone who relies on this list
for notification of reviews (I know of at least one)!

Dear Boost community,

The formal review of JeanHeyd Meneide's out_ptr library starts Sunday, June
16th
and ends on Wednesday, June 26th.

out_ptr is a library for making it easy to interoperate between smart
pointers and traditional C-style initialization and allocation interfaces.
It also enables doing so in a way that allows library authors to opt into
speed optimizations for their smart pointers that give them performance
equivalent to typical C pointers (see benchmarks (
https://github.com/ThePhD/out_ptr/blob/master/docs/out_ptr/benchmarks.adoc)
and the Standard C++ proposal for more details).

Online docs can be found here:

 https://github.com/ThePhD/out_ptr/blob/master/docs/out_ptr.adoc

The GitHub repository is available here:

 https://github.com/ThePhD/out_ptr

Also, there is an associated standards proposal:

We encourage your participation in this review. At a minimum, please state:

- Whether you believe the library should be accepted into Boost
- Your name
- Your 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?

All issues discussed during this review will be tracked on the library's
GitHub issue tracker at https://github.com/ThePhD/out_ptr/issues.
