During Q4 2025, I’ve been working in the following areas: Boost.Bloom Written an article explaining the usage and implementation of the recently introduced bulk operations. Boost.Unordered Written maintenance fixes PR#320, PR#321, PR#326, PR#327, PR#328, PR#335. Boost.MultiIndex Refactored the library to use Boost.Mp11 instead of Boost.MPL (PR#87), remove pre-C++11 variadic argument emulation (PR#88) and remove all sorts of pre-C++11 polyfills (PR#90). These changes are expla...

After two reviews the Decimal (https://github.com/cppalliance/decimal) library has been accepted into Boost. Look for it to ship for the first time with Boost 1.91 in the Spring. For current and prospective users, a new release series (v6) is available on the releases page of the library. This major version change contains all of the bug fixes and addresses comments from the second review. We have once again overhauled the documentation based on the review to include a significant increase in...

In 2024, the MrDocs project was a fragile prototype. It documented Boost.URL, but the CLI, configuration, and build process were unstable. Most users could not run it without direct help from the core group. That unstable baseline is the starting point for this report. In 2025, we moved the codebase to minimum-viable-product shape. I led the releases that stabilized the pipeline, aligned the configuration model, and documented the work in this report to support a smooth leadership transition...

Modern C++ codebases — from browsers to GPU frameworks — rely heavily on templates, and that often means massive abstract syntax trees. Even small inefficiencies in Clang’s AST representation can add up to noticeable compile-time overhead. This post walks through a set of structural improvements I recently made to Clang’s AST that make type representation smaller, simpler, and faster to create — leading to measurable build-time gains in real-world projects. A couple of months ago, I lande...

Back in April my former colleague Christian Mazakas has announced his work on registry of nightly Boost packages for vcpkg. That same month Conan developers have introduced a new feature that significantly simplified providing of an alternative Conan package source. These two events gave me an idea to create an index of nightly Boost packages for Conan. Conan Remotes Conan installs packages from a remote, which is usually a web server. When you request a package in a particular version rang...
