Formal review request: Boost.Mixin
Hello, I'd like to request a formal review of Boost.Mixin. Code is here: https://github.com/iboB/boost.mixin Documentation is here: http://ibob.github.io/boost.mixin/ In short, the library allows you to dynamically compose and mutate polymorphic types from existing C++ classes. Thanks, -- Borislav

Bump :) In case anybody thought this review request was suddenly posted out of the blue: There have been three discussions in this mailing list on the subject already (some of the information in those is outdated, though) Initial itroduction (1 year ago): http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2013/01/200598.php Feature complete (6 months ago): http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2013/07/205184.php Preliminary review (3 weeks ago): http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2014/02/211348.php There have been a couple of forums discussions about it: gamedev.net 1: gamedev.net: http://www.gamedev.net/topic/653535-type-composition-and-mutation-library/ xkcd forums: http://forums.xkcd.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=104160 ... also in _Bulgarian_ in gamedev-bg.net: http://www.gamedev-bg.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2514 ... and also some others with no significant additional information -- Borislav
Hello Borislav,
I have received your request and will add it to the review schedule. Could you send me a one-paragraph description to add to the Review Wizard report?
Thanks,
Ron

Here you go: Boost.Mixin Code: https://github.com/iboB/boost.mixin Docs: http://ibob.github.io/boost.mixin/ Description: Boost.Mixin is a library that allows the composition and modifications of polymorphic types at run time. Types and objects are constructed out of building blocks called mixins. The library uses the type boost::mixin::object as a placeholder, whose instances can be extended with existing classes (mixins), thus providing a particular instance with the functionality of all those types. Accessing the newly formed type's interface is made through messages – stand-alone functions generated by the library, which can be thought of as methods. This is given while also having full abstraction between the interface and the definition of types. An existing feature in another language similar to Boost.Mixin and also an inspiration for the library are the mixins in Ruby. The library also has similarities with the pattern entity-component-system. -- Borislav
