The review of Stjepan Rajko's Dataflow library starts today, September 1st, and will run until September 10th. --------------------------------------------------------- Description of the library: Dataflow is a generic library for dataflow programming. Dataflow programs can typically be expressed as a graph in which vertices represent components that process data, and edges represent the flow of data between the components. As such, dataflow programs can be easily reconfigured by changing the components and/or the connections. This review focuses on the Dataflow.Signals layer of the library. For its data transport mechanism, Dataflow.Signals uses Boost.Signals which can be used to make lasting dataflow connections based on function calls. Dataflow.Signals provides the following to facilitate signals-based dataflow networks: * A number of useful general-purpose components, and building blocks for implementing new components. * Various free functions and operators for connecting and using components. The library documentation provides some concrete examples of how Dataflow.Signals layer can be used. Some examples are: * Implementing distributed dataflow applications using Dataflow.Signals and Boost.Asio * An image processing network using Dataflow.Signals and Boost.GIL * A GUI dataflow editor (located in the Dataflow.Blueprint documentation)(Continue reading)
