* 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.
