When is SML officially part of Boost?

I'm just inquiring on the progress of this project and wondered when is it production ready (e.g. past its experimental stage).

I remember Chris stating somewhere a while back that he has abandoned his plans to get SML into boost.

Hi, defo not abandoned just got a bit delayed as I had some other issues to deal with; but I'm back now so really wanna restart the effort; we have review manager so let's do it; I'm at CppCon next week so wil figure out what's the best way to approach taht in the current circumferences. Sorry for the delay.

I do hope SML will continue to be useable without Boost. I have it integrated into a project that doesn't use Boost.

@abrownsword no worries; SML will always be usable without Boost. The potential Boost inclusion is mainly for further reach so that companinies which are not allowed to grab any github repo will be able to use SML

There are certian properties such as the following guranteed forever

  • single header/single module
  • no dependencies (neither Boost nor STL)
  • max performance (optimized to the bone)
  • as fast compilation times as possible (whetever technique will do it)
  • no RTTI/dynamic allocations/[optional] exceptions
  • stable api for DSL
