Well, this combining iterator thing is the first time I'm ever submitting anything to boost, so I don't know if I should give advice, but what I did was to click on "Submissions" at www.boost.org and it said that Step 1 was to post a description of the proposed submission to the boost mailing list to determine interest. So that's what I did, and I suppose that's what you should do too. In my case, the response was not overwhelming, but it wasn't devastating either, and I got a positive from David Abrahams. So what I'll do next is to check out their new iterator adaptor stuff in the sandbox and see how my stuff fits in there or can be made to fit in. Since my combining iterator would have to be part of the iterator adaptor library, it will then ultimately be David's, Jeremy's and Thomas' decision whether they want it in there or not. Thanks a bunch for yall's feedback so far. It has certainly helped me sort things out. Finally, Anthony: As I look at the new iterator adaptor in the sandbox, I will of course keep an eye on whether their changes have any bearing on the relationship between what you have and what I have. Under the current boost iterator adaptor, I think it is clear that yours and mine are at least as different from each other as the transform iterator is different from the projection iterator, and hence they are two separate things. It may be a while until I get around to working on all this again, so let me know if you have any new insights in this regard. Thomas Becker Zephyr Associates, Inc.
