The review of Ion Gaztañagas's Intrusive library begins today, March 12, and extends up to March 21. * Download: Boost vault: http://boost-consulting.com/vault/ Folder: Containers File: intrusive.2007-03-04.zip * Online docs: http://ice.prohosting.com/newfunk/boost/libs/intrusive * Description: Intrusive is a library presenting some intrusive containers to the world of C++. While intrusive containers were and are widely used in C, they became more and more forgotten in C++ due to the presence of the standard containers, which don't support intrusive techniques. Intrusive not only reintroduces this technique to C++, but also encapsulates the implementation in STL-like interfaces. Hence anyone familiar with standard containers can easily use Intrusive. Like their STL-counterparts, intrusive containers use template parameters to control the stored data types and some special aspects of intrusive containers. * Compilers tested (so far): Visual 7.1/WinXP Visual 8.0/WinXP GCC 4.1.1/MinGW Intel 9.1/WinXP GCC 4.1.2/Linux * Review questions: 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. I invite you to submit your review, either publicly to the developers or the users lists, or else, if for whatever reason you don't want to publicize it, directly to me. Thank you for investing some of your time on reviewing Ion Gaztañaga's Intrusive library. The Review Manager, Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo
