  • C++20 modules and Boost: follow up
    It is shown by benchmarks that C++20 modules cut Boost rebuild times by about 45%, but modularizing requires macro work, source changes, complex CMake support, handling of compiled libraries, and extra testing, leading to a community choice on adoption.

  • C++20 modules and Boost: an analysis
    Boost header‑only libraries are evaluated for conversion to C++20 modules. Toolchain support, an export‑using technique, and benchmarks indicate modest compile‑time gains. Modules remain early, giving limited production benefit but faster rebuilds.

  • Review of Parser library begins today
    The review of Boost.Parser is scheduled to begin today and conclude on February 28. The library provides primitive parsers and combinators (e.g., Kleene star), supports both callback and non‑callback parsing, is range‑friendly, fully Unicode‑aware, delivers GCC‑style error diagnostics and optional tracing, with documentation and source on GitHub.
