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.

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.

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.

We continue to make exciting progress developing new libraries for inclusion in Boost.

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.

Here’s an overview of some projects I have been working on the last few months.

I’m happy to report that the library I helped Peter Dimov develop, Hash2 , was accepted after probably one of the most thorough Boost reviews to have happened in recent history.

I already anticipated in my previous post that Boost 1.87 was going to be an exciting release for the users of Boost.MySQL. Many new features have been promoted to stable, making using the library much more enjoyable.

Updated CI support ( PR#293 , PR#296 , PR#297 , PR#298 ). Prepared a private document for Peter Dimov and Braden Ganetsky discussing massively parallel scenarios where ParlayHash has better performance than boost::concurrent_flat_map .

While some of my work in the third quarter of this year was dedicated to more work on Boost.JSON and Docca, the most interesting thing was definitely pretty_printers , a collection of utilities and build scripts which help dealing with debugger pretty printers and visualisers.

Authored and published a new topic on Debug Visualizers in the Contributor Guide. Debug Visualizers offer a powerful way to simplify the debugging process by allowing developers to see complex data structures in a more understandable format.
