<p>We need experienced review managers. Please take a look at
the list of libraries in need of managers and check out their
descriptions. If you can serve as review manager for any of
them, email Ron Garcia or Tom Brinkman &quot;garcia at cs dot indiana dot edu&quot;
and &quot;reportbase at gmail dot com&quot; respectively.</p>
<p>A link to this report will be posted to www.boost.org.
If you would like us to make any modifications or additions to this
report before we do that, please email Ron or Tom.</p>
<p>If you're library author and plan on submitting a library for review
in the next 3-6 months, send Ron or Tom a
short description of your library and we'll add it to the
Libraries Under Construction below. We know that there are many
libaries that are near completion, but we have hard time keeping
track all of them. Please keep us informed about your progress.</p>

more and more forgotten in the C++-world due to the presence of the
standard containers, which don't support intrusive
techniques. Boost.Intrusive not only reintroduces this technique to
C++, but also encapsulates the implementation in STL-like
interfaces. Hence anyone familiar with standard containers can use
intrusive containers with ease.</td>

algorithms. A set of heterogenous containers (vector, list, set and
map) is provided out of the box along with view classes that present
various composable views over the data. The containers and views
follow a common sequence concept with an underlying iterator concept
that binds it all together, suitably making the algorithms fully
generic over all sequence types.</p>
<p class="last">The architecture is somewhat modeled after MPL which in turn is
modeled after STL. It is code-named &quot;fusion&quot; because the library is
the &quot;fusion&quot; of compile time metaprogramming with runtime programming.</p>

<tr class="field"><th class="field-name">Description:</th><td class="field-body">The pimpl idiom is widely used to reduce compile times and disable
code coupling. It does so by moving private parts of a class from the
.hpp file to the .cpp file.
However, it's implementation can be tricky, and with many pitfalls
(especially regarding memory management).
The pimpl_ptr library is a single header file, implementing a special
policy based smart pointer to greately ease the implementation of the
pimpl idiom.</td>

pairs. It differs from its cousin, &quot;usual&quot; property map, because
it is hierarchical, not linear. Thus, it is more like a
minimalistic Document Object Model, but not bound to any
specific file format. It can store contents of XML files,
windows registry, JSON files, INI files, even command line
parameters. The library contains parsers for all these formats,
and more.</td>

<tr class="field"><th class="field-name">Description:</th><td class="field-body">PQS (Physical Quantities System) is used for modelling
physical-quantities in C++ programs. The advantages over using
built-in types in the role include: trapping errors in
dimensional analysis, detailed semantic specifications for
reliable and repeatable conversions between units and
self-documentation of source code. PQS is based around the
principles and guidelines of the International System of Units
(SI). The library predefines a large number of quantities,
physical and maths constants using a common syntax. The library
also includes (or will soon include) classes for manipulating
quantities algebraically, for example angles (radians,
steradians, degrees,minutes,seconds) and vectors, matrices and
quaternions for more advanced modelling of physical systems.</td>
