The lack of examples and documentation made them difficult to review.
Nevertheless, Anthony Williams futures library did receive almost
unanimous
and enthusiastic support. Unfortunately, the depth of the support was
very shallow.
I just finished my first read of Anthony's book "C++ Concurrency in
Action and
acknowledge his expertise in the areas of multi threaded and parallel
programming.
(http://www.manning.com/williams/)
Anthony is the maintainer of boost::threads.
Anthony's Future library has been approved for the next major release
of c++ standard.
Conclusion
Braddock Gaskill - Rejected
Anthony Williams - Approved
Anthony's Futures library is approved for inclusion into
boost::threads. As he is the
maintainer of that library, he should be given maximum latitude about
how that is to be done.
In the future, if Anthony wants to re-publish the library as a
top-level boost library, then
he needs to resubmit it again with samples and test cases, which are
lacking.
Requirements
As per the usual boost library requirements, examples and test cases
are needed.
Anthony should also improve the documentation, which should
not be a problem as he is a prolific author in the area of multi
threaded programming.
