Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #7751: Broken URL to Alexandrescu's paper https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7751 <p> In the <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_52_0/libs/algorithm/minmax/index.html#rationale">Rationale</a> section of the current documentation, there is note: </p> <blockquote> <p> <em>please consult <a class="ext-link" href="http://www.cuj.com/documents/s=7996/cujcexp1904alexandr/alexandr.htm"><span class="icon">​</span>Alexandrescu's paper</a> and the links therein</em> </p> </blockquote> <p> The paper is no longer avaialble under that URL. </p> <p> The paper can be found at <a class="ext-link" href="http://www.drdobbs.com/generic-min-and-max-redivivus/184403774"><span class="icon">​</span>http://www.drdobbs.com/generic-min-and-max-redivivus/184403774</a> or archived at <a class="ext-link" href="http://collaboration.cmc.ec.gc.ca/science/rpn/biblio/ddj/Website/articles/CUJ/2002/cexp2004/alexandr/alexandr.htm"><span class="icon">​</span>http://collaboration.cmc.ec.gc.ca/science/rpn/biblio/ddj/Website/articles/CUJ/2002/cexp2004/alexandr/alexandr.htm</a> </p> <p> The problem is, that the paper can also disappear from this location. So, it would be better if the whole title (possibly with journal and year) of the paper is included in the documentation. Then, it will be much easier to search the Web if it's for missing. IMHO, it should be a guideline for Boost documentation </p> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7751 Trac 1.4.3 Mateusz Loskot Thu, 29 Nov 2012 15:40:27 GMT description changed https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7751#comment:1 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7751#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>description</strong> modified (<a href="/trac10/ticket/7751?action=diff&amp;version=1">diff</a>) </li> </ul> Ticket Mateusz Loskot Thu, 29 Nov 2012 16:46:02 GMT description changed https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7751#comment:2 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7751#comment:2 <ul> <li><strong>description</strong> modified (<a href="/trac10/ticket/7751?action=diff&amp;version=2">diff</a>) </li> </ul> Ticket Marshall Clow Mon, 10 Dec 2012 15:28:39 GMT status changed; resolution set https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7751#comment:3 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7751#comment:3 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">new</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">closed</span> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">fixed</span> </li> </ul> <p> (In <a class="changeset" href="https://svn.boost.org/trac10/changeset/81823" title="Merge doc fix for minmax; Fixes #7751">[81823]</a>) Merge doc fix for minmax; Fixes <a class="closed ticket" href="https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7751" title="#7751: Bugs: Broken URL to Alexandrescu's paper (closed: fixed)">#7751</a> </p> Ticket
