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...

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...

During this quarter, I continued my dedicated efforts on the development of MrDocs, enhancing it with significant improvements that reaffirm its position as a leading tool in C++ documentation generation. Advances in MrDocs Development I have contributed to several important enhancements in MrDocs that include: Tagfiles Generation for Doxygen: I implemented tagfile generation in MrDocs, enhancing its integration capabilities with other documentation systems using Doxygen. This feat...

Here’s an overview of some projects I have been working on the last few months. Jenkins The main focus this quarter has been an overhaul of the Jenkins installation. We have been running a Jenkins instance to generate documentation previews for many Boost repositories, as well as JSON benchmarks, and lcov/gcovr code coverage analysis. The jobs were configured as Freestyle Projects, the “classic, general-purpose job type”. These have all now been replaced by “Multibranch Pipeline”. Each cate...
