Did you not see my post http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2013/09/206187.php? I offered to review manage someone's library in exchange for that person review managing AFIO.
I did see your post but my thoughts are:
1) It is not best if A is the review manager for B's library and B is the review manager for A's library. There is too much temptation to approve a library that way.
I agree. I can also see potential for heated arguments.
2) Understanding ASIO has proven to me to be a difficult task, albeit I have not spent much time studying it. As I understand it AFIO is an extension of ASIO for files.
Correct. ASIO is totally familiar if you're used to COM and WinRT reactor style callback programming, otherwise I agree it's a real mountain to climb. And AFIO, I am told, is harder than ASIO due to the dependency chaining facility which apparently wrecks people's heads.
3) With that last said I would be glad to be a review manager for a library. But My OP was prompted because I have seen little movement recently in the way of even calls for review managers to speed up the process of having libraries reviewed. Perhaps I just missed such a general request.
It's certainly a concern. Apart from directory monitoring, I expect AFIO to be finished this coming week - docs and all. I've just finished two days of performance tuning, and I have an AFIO implementation blowing past a multithreaded implementaton by 25% in warm cache, and a full 100% in cold cache. It's basically only polish left to go - t's crossed, i's dotted etc. Bugs notwithstanding of course, and there are many :( Niall -- Currently unemployed and looking for work.
