BOOST 1.35
-
BOOST 1.35 has been out for a couple of weeks now, with new additions such as ASIO and GIL, was wondering if CP users have had a chance to use it etc... :-D
Not ASIO and GIL, but Regex. The Regex library is almost twice the size compiled with VS 2008 compared with 1.32. I noticed the testing library has a bunch of very interesting changes. Which ones are you planning to use ?

No idea why would anybody vote this down, but thanks for the info. I was looking forward to Asio.

I believe for regex what was in 1.34 or similar was what was submitted to TR1 as a result in the next vs2008 SP you might be able to do things like std::regex::match etc... same goes for bind, tuple and unsorted_xxx (hash tables) As for it being larger, I guess there is a lot more going on in the library now than in 1.32 I've been using ASIO for sometime now, i think it will turn the C++ world's socket,pipe libraries upside down, it was about time we had our own library for that kind of stuff instead of everyone rolling out there own, hopefully it will be ratified in TR2 along with the filesystem and threads libraries.

I guess just looking at the calibre of some of the C++ articles on this site, BOOST might scare some people that thought they actually where good at or experts at programming in C++, you know the kind I'm talking about the ones that go "I can write an employer employee class and a ISale and ICost class hence I'm an expert" as a result some people feel they need to vote down such discussions. - I would love it if CP had a section designated to tips and tricks with BOOST libraries. As for ASIO as mentioned above, its damn awesome! might even end up writing an article about it here.
