| 30 | <li>Takatoshi Kondo found and corrected a very obscure and difficult bug in the |
| 31 | serialization of virtual base classes. |
| 32 | <li><a href="http://www.autoform.com">AutoForm Engineering GmbH</a> supported |
| 33 | development efforts to extend correct serialization to objects stored in DLLS. |
| 34 | <li><a href"http://www.cadence.com/il">Cadence Israel</a> supported enhancement |
| 35 | and testing of the portable binary archive. |
| 36 | <li>David Abrahams improved implementation of "export" functionality. This not |
| 37 | only eliminated an annoying header sequencing requirement, but also the need to maintain |
| 38 | a list of "known archives". |
| 39 | <li>Mattias Troyer enhanced the implementation of native binary archives. This includes |
| 40 | enhancement and generalization of the library itself including generalization of |
| 41 | the wrapper concept. |
| 42 | <li>Markus Schöpflin tracked down issues with TRU64 compiler resulting in 100% passing. |
| 43 | <li><a href="mailto::troy@resophonic.com"> Troy D. Straszheim</a> made the initial version of variant serialization. |
| 44 | <li>Tonko Juricic helped refine and complete project files for VC 7.1 ide |
| 45 | <li><a href="http://www.boost.org/people/rene_rivera.htm">Rene Rivera</a> tracked down several issues related to |
| 46 | Code Warrior, toolset configuration and bjam and much else. |
| 47 | <li>Martin Ecker detected (and fixed!) a number of subtle errors regarding cyclic |
| 48 | pointers, shared pointers. He also built the library as a DLL and raised some issues |
| 49 | <li>Pavel Vozenilek invested much effort in review of code and documentation |
| 50 | resulting in many improvements. In addition he helped a lot with porting to other |
| 51 | platforms including VC 6.0, Intel, and especially Borland. |
| 52 | <li><a href="http://www.boost.org/people/jens_maurer.htm">Jens Maurer</a> and |
| 53 | <a href="http://www.boost.org/people/beman_dawes.html">Beman Dawes</a> who got the boost |
| 54 | serialization ball rolling. It was one or both of these two that invented |
| 55 | the much beloved <code>&</code> syntax used to implement both save and |
| 56 | load in one fuction specification. |
| 57 | <li><a href="http://www.boost.org/people/vladimir_prus.htm">Vladimir Prus</a> for evaluating an |
| 58 | early draft and contributing the diamond inheritance example. |
| 59 | <li><a href="http://www.boost.org/people/william_kempf.htm">William E. Kempf</a> |
| 60 | who made the templates for this and other boost manuals. This relieved |
| 61 | me of much aggravation. |
| 62 | <li><a href="mailto:vahan@unicad.am">Vahan Margaryan</a> and |
| 63 | <a href="mailto:fredrik_blomqvist-at-home.se">Fredrik Blomqvist</a> for their contributions |
| 64 | to my understanding of the subtle issues of exception safety in this context. |
| 65 | <li>all other boost members who responded with feedback during the |
| 66 | development of this library. Almost all comments resulted in |
| 67 | tangible changes in the library which made it much better. |
| 68 | <li>boosters who helped out in porting to other platforms:, Fernando Cacciola (Borland), |
| 69 | Jeff Flinn (VC 7.1), Vladimir Prus (gcc 3.3), Christoph Ludwig(gcc 3.4), |
| 70 | Rob Lievaart(mingw), Marshal Clow(gcc-darwin) among others. |
| 71 | <li>all boost members who participated in the first formal review |
| 72 | in November 2002. Many of these members invested quite an effort |
| 73 | to evaluate the library and suggest changes. They are |
| 74 | Matthias Troyer, Pavel Vozenilek, Vladimir Prus, Fredrik Blomqvist, |
| 75 | Jeff Garland, Gennadiy Rozental, Alberto Barbati, Dave Harris. |
| 76 | Mr. Rozenthal in particular wrote an incredibly insightful analysis |
| 77 | that has driven all subsequent development that has resulted in the |
| 78 | current package. |
| 79 | <li>Dave Harris proposal and spirited defense of it led to a re-thinking |
| 80 | of the overrides for serialization of pointers. This resulted in a simpler |
| 81 | and more effective method of accounting for non-default constructors |
| 82 | required by serialization of pointers and STL collections. |
| 83 | <li><a href="mailto:admin@thefireflyproject.us">Bryce Lelbach</a> rewrote the XML Serialization grammar using Boost.Spirit 2.x. |
