Hi all,
Of the current set of libraries in the review queue, only one lacks a
review manager. It would be great if some boost veteran stepped up
and took on this role for the following library:
Pimpl Pointer

Boost Sandbox (http://boost-consulting.com/vault/) under
pimpl_ptr.
:Description:
The pimpl idiom is widely used to reduce compile times and
disable
code coupling. It does so by moving private parts of a class
from the
.hpp file to the .cpp file.
However, it's implementation can be tricky, and with many
pitfalls
(especially regarding memory management).
The pimpl_ptr library is a single header file, implementing a
special
policy based smart pointer to greately ease the implementation
of the
pimpl idiom.
Thank you,
Ron Garcia
