In the first quarter of 2024 I mostly continued with work on direct serialization, cleanup work in Boost.JSON, and experiments with its JSON parser and serialiser. The experiments have resulted in discovery of a significant performance pessimization in the parser. The fix will soon be merged into the project. Another experiment that will eventually bring significant performance improvement is replacing JSON’s number serialisation code with usage of the Charconv library, which was recently ac...

The first quarter of 2024 has been a period of deepening engagement and significant contributions to two major areas: the development of MrDocs and supporting enhancements in Boost Unordered’s concurrent map capabilities. Further Enhancements to MrDocs Key Developments in MrDocs: Advancing Code Understanding: My recent work has focused on enhancing MrDocs’ ability to parse and analyze complex C++ code constructs. This includes the implementation of using directives, using declarations, a...

The following is an overview of some projects I have been working on in the last few months: Boost.Beast Aside from addressing user issues and typical bug fixes within the project, this quarter I primarily focused on: Resolving platform and compiler specific warnings. Rectifying SSL builds in CI. Documenting certain pitfalls and subtleties in some operations. Boost.Http.Proto and Boost.Buffers I’ve recently started contributing to the Http.Proto project. My contributions focus on...

Over the past few months I have been working on libraries that are in various stages of the boost lifecycle: Newly Accepted Libraries Charconv Charconv (https://github.com/boostorg/charconv) had it’s review period from 15 - 25 Jan 2024.
