| 30 | <li>Markus Schöpflin tracked down issues with TRU64 compiler resulting in 100% passing. |
|---|
| 31 | <li><a href="mailto::troy@resophonic.com"> Troy D. Straszheim</a> made the initial version of variant serialization. |
|---|
| 32 | <li>Tonko Juricic helped refine and complete project files for VC 7.1 ide |
|---|
| 33 | <li><a href="../../../people/rene_rivera.htm">Rene Rivera</a> tracked down several issues related to |
|---|
| 34 | Code Warrior, toolset configuration and bjam and much else. |
|---|
| 35 | <li>Martin Ecker detected (and fixed!) a number of sublte errors regarding cyclic |
|---|
| 36 | pointers, shared pointers. He also built the library as a DLL and raised some issues |
|---|
| 37 | <li>Pavel Vozenilek invested much effort in review of code and documentation |
|---|
| 38 | resulting in many improvements. In addition he help a lot with porting to other |
|---|
| 39 | platforms including VC 6.0, Intel, and especially Borland. |
|---|
| 40 | <li><a href="../../../people/jens_maurer.htm">Jens Maurer</a> and |
|---|
| 41 | <a href="../../../people/beman_dawes.html">Beman Dawes</a> who got the boost |
|---|
| 42 | serialization ball rolling. It was one or both of these two that invented |
|---|
| 43 | the much beloved <code>&</code> syntax used to implement both save and |
|---|
| 44 | load in one fuction specification. |
|---|
| 45 | <li><a href="../../../people/vladimir_prus.htm">Vladimir Prus</a> for evaluating an |
|---|
| 46 | early draft and contributing the diamond inheritance example. |
|---|
| 47 | <li><a href="../../../people/william_kempf.htm">William E. Kempf</a> |
|---|
| 48 | who made the templates for this and other boost manuals. This relieved |
|---|
| 49 | me of much aggravation. |
|---|
| 50 | <li><a href="mailto:vahan@unicad.am">Vahan Margaryan</a> and |
|---|
| 51 | <a href="mailto:fredrik_blomqvist-at-home.se">Fredrik Blomqvist</a> for their contributions |
|---|
| 52 | to my understanding of the subtle issues of exception safety in this context. |
|---|
| 53 | <li>all other boost members who responded with feedback during the |
|---|
| 54 | development of this library. Almost all comments resulted in |
|---|
| 55 | tangible changes in the library which made it much better. |
|---|
| 56 | <li>boosters who helped out in porting to other platforms:, Fernando Cacciola (Borland), |
|---|
| 57 | Jeff Flinn (VC 7.1), Vladimir Prus (gcc 3.3), Christoph Ludwig(gcc 3.4), |
|---|
| 58 | Rob Lievaart(mingw), Marshal Clow(gcc-darwin) among others. |
|---|
| 59 | <li>all boost members who participated in the first formal review |
|---|
| 60 | in November 2002. Many of these members invested quite an effort |
|---|
| 61 | to evaluate the library and suggest changes. They are |
|---|
| 62 | Matthias Troyer, Pavel Vozenilek, Vladimir Prus, Fredrik Blomqvist, |
|---|
| 63 | Jeff Garland, Gennadiy Rozental, Alberto Barbati, Dave Harris. |
|---|
| 64 | Mr. Rozenthal in particular wrote an incredibly insightful analysis |
|---|
| 65 | that has driven all subsequent development that has resulted in the |
|---|
| 66 | current package. |
|---|
| 67 | <li>Dave Harris proposal and spirited defense of it lead to a re-thinking |
|---|
| 68 | of the overrides for serialization of pointers. This resulted in a simpler |
|---|
| 69 | and more effective method of accounting for non-default constructors |
|---|
| 70 | required by serialization of pointers and STL collections. |
