Dear Babel Developers, I decided to implement bzip2 pack/unpack functionality in open-babel (#91 bzip2 compression/decompression).
I'm new in openbabel, so I want to discuss some things. 1) I decided to go for boost iostreams library. They have compressed gzip/bzip2 support in similar way, like implemented now in obabel. I think, that it will be good idea to have boost library to be required by the project (connected permanently). Some other boost libraries can be useful. For example, Program Options, Geometry, RegExp. In the future developers can easily use this powerful well known library. 2) Compressed stream is not supported tellg/seekg functions. So, some formats cannot be read. What should I do with it? May be add a property to format plug-in, that the format is not supported compressed streams. 3) Can somebody help me to compile and test the system under MS Windows? Best, Kirill Okhotnikov. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
