New Boost library proposal and a talk on how to make C++ ranges faster

During Q1 2025, I’ve been working in the following areas: Candidate Boost Bloom Library During the entire quarter I’ve been working on a Boost proposal around Bloom filters: Repo: https://github.com/joaquintides/bloom Docs: https://master.bloom.cpp.al/ Class template boost::bloom::filter can be configured to implement a classical Bloom filter as well as variations discussed in the literature such as block filters, multiblock filters, and more. #include <boost/bloom/filter.hpp>...

Krystian's Q4 2024 Update

Clang This quarter, I continued working on the fourth iteration of my refactoring of multi-level template argument list collection (#112381, #114258 and #114569 related), fixed support for the @relates command, made improvements to C++ conformance, amongst other things. Multi-level template argument list collection (again) My initial patch that refactored multi-level template argument list collection proved to have some nasty bugs relating to instantiation order. The following is a reducti...

Documentation - or the Art of Preparing for the Unknown

The C++ Alliance supports both the great Boost Libraries and a current proposal for a memory/type/thread-safe version of C++ called Safe C++. They are not connected in any way other than the Alliance’s support. However, looking ahead, it seems smart for at least contributors to Boost to be aware of the progress and terminology of the Safe proposal. Before a contributor could do much the Safe C++ proposal would both have to be accepted and then implemented (super-easy to say and mountain of wo...

Boost.Http.Io and Boost.Http.Proto Project Highlights

Here’s a look at some recent projects I’ve been focusing on: Boost.Http.Io burl project We’ve recently started adding a new example to the http-io library called burl. This is a relatively large example application designed to serve as a drop-in replacement for Curl’s HTTP functionality. The primary goal of the project is to ensure that http-proto and http-io provide all the necessary features for building a curl-like application. It also aims to demonstrate how these libraries can be lev...

Another new library underway

We continue to make exciting progress developing new libraries for inclusion in Boost. Decimal Decimal (https://github.com/cppalliance/decimal) is a ground-up implementation of IEEE 754 Decimal Floating Point types in C++14, co-authored with Chris Kormanyos. The library is now mature and ready for the Boost review, which begins on January 15th. This quarter focused on performance optimizations and adding modern language features, including support for C++20’s <format>. We welcome use...
