TR1 Reference

[PanGalactic]

Are there any plans to expand the http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/ section to include the TR1 extensions? Is there anything I can do to help make that happen?

Actually, I agree. That would be pretty neat. On some projects I am still not allowed to use boost libraries because they are considered open source and special permission is required before we can use boost. However, some compilers include the TR1 libraries simply be flipping a compiler switch. Therefore, I can actually use the TR1 library on my project but I cannot download the boost code. It seems like it would be a good exercise for someone that wanted to do it. Perhaps the thinking is that since the TR1 stuff is all in boost, that the boost website has that. I would like to see some articles on how to use some of the TR1 / Boost features. Although boost has some examples on the website it would be interesting to see some creative examples of how others use those libraries to solve tricky problems. Have you tried emailing the webmaster to ask the question? If you really wanted to, you could certainly write some TR1 related articles in the meantime.

Good idea. Although the some of the TR1 info is basically the info that boost has (since it is basically a direct port of those boost libraries...). Although information on new stuff like the lambada syntax, r-value references, etc would be nice.

Even though they use a permissive licence? That's kind of odd... Or is it for the mere fact that they're open source and is unrelated to the lincensing?

Many companies require that lawyers approve every piece of code used. Some require that specific licenses be approved. If you distribute your software or write it for third parties, you have to be very careful what code you incorporate into your products. You don't want some rogue programmer using BSD licensed code if your customer is unwilling to abide by the attribution clause for example.

Come on, now. The attribution cause is only found in really old code. And the Boost licence is more like the MIT one. It never had an attribution clause.
