Hi, By the way of applying the buried headers [1] scheme, I think it is a good opportunity to clean up content of the git repository and to shuffle things into more friendly layout. This should target 'develop' branch, so SOCI 4.0.0.
Here are some of the revolutions [2] dangling in my head that I would like to propose and discuss: 1) I'm going to remove /soci/build as deprecated legacy and move /soci/www out to SOCI/soci.github.com reposiory. 2) Move content of /soci/src one level up 3) Add /soci/soci folder for all public headers Installation by copying: cp -a soci/soci /usr/include will effectively deploy headers buried in /usr/include/soci 4) Add /soci/tests directory 5) Move all current tests into common /soci/tests/old or /soci/tests/v3 to indicate they target SOCI<=3. Certainly, all CMake configuration to be updated to allow building and running those v3 tests. 6) All new tests can live directly in /soci/tests Do we all agree those changes make sense? Perhaps, we should rename headers a bit: 1) Switch C++ headers to use .hpp extension (keep .h for simple C API) 2) Replace '-' with '_'. Underscore seems de facto a file naming standard in C++. How does it sound? Also, I've been wondering if it would make sense to introduce backend-specific namespaces. Then, class soci::postgresql_vector_into_type_backend would become soci::postgresql::vector_into_type_backend. I sense, this would make sense if we aim to introduce some generic and backend-specific exception hierarchies, etc. Also, soci-postgresql.h could become <soci/backends/postgresql.h> reaching into <soci/backends/postgresql/...> What you say on that?
