Seeing as how I've sortof decided to move my blog off site, at least until GDNet blogs actually are feature complete, I'll only post partial topics to this blog, and link to my external blog. Feel free to comment here or on the site.

I've recently started playing around with a mock implementation of the Technical Report on C++ Library Extensions (draft link). First off, I should note that its very difficult to implement these libraries properly. The standard makes many changes to the adopted boost libraries, both by enhancing functionality and by clarifying their properties and behaviors. One of the really interesting parts of implementing this standard is detecting the various conditions that need to be met by the reference_wrapper class. I will be discussing those conditions, and the methods that I have used to implement them. Mind you, implementing the TR1 standard is not an easy thing, and it requires a great deal of work on the part of compiler vendors to provide methods to determine object classifications at runtime, along with various other pieces of data that aren't typically available to template meta-programmers.
