[Review][Chrono] Boost.Chrono has been ACCEPTED into Boost
The following message is a courtesy copy of an article that has been posted to gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel as well. Hi, I am pleased to announce that Boost.Chrono has been ACCEPTED into Boost. There were a reasonable number of reviews this time, and they were unanimous that Boost.Chrono should be accepted. Boost.Chrono provides the time facilities from the upcoming C++0x standard, so is an important base library. A few changes were requested by the reviewers which should be addressed before this library appears in a Boost release. I know that Vicente has already started working on some of these. The requested changes are: * The documentation needs revising to ensure everything is documented, and it is clear which time source is used for each clock type * The use of double underscores in identifiers should be stopped --- such identifiers are reserved for the implementation. * chrono::monotonic_clock will need renaming chrono::steady_clock to match the C++0x draft * the is_monotonic member of the clock types will need renaming is_steady to match the C++0x draft * Remove operator/ for dividing by a duration * Include examples for I/O in non-English languages * Remove "#if 0" blocks * Address all the "TODO" items in the source * Check the license on the time parsing code, and reimplement if the license is incompatible Apologies to the reviewers if I've missed anything. I would like to thank Vicente for submitting the library and those that took the time to write a review.
