But, you'll say, the library will not pass review due to being C++11. Will it not? On what do we base this prediction?
I look forward to the day when the first C++ 11 library enters Boost. But I also recognise that before that can happen, a consensus on how we're going to handle that will have to be reached. Right now the consensus appears to be to use #ifdef and bundle it in with the 03 libraries.
I'm not certain which population you are using for consensus. The barriers of getting a C++11 only library into Boost are currently the difficulties raised by Robert Ramey in the "Thoughts of Boost v2" branch of this thread. Another barrier is the submission of a C++11 only library. As announced in the annual Future of Boost session at C++Now, Sebastian Redl will be drafting how-to suggestions for integrating C++11/14 only libraries into Boost. While Robert's concerns must all be addressed, this isn't a problem that is entirely unique and one that we haven't dealt with before. michael -- Michael Caisse ciere consulting ciere.com
