Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #9222: iostreams documentation hard to read https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/9222 <p> Hi, </p> <p> You guys have put a lot of work into iostreams documentation, but, where it falls down is when someone unfamiliar with the library (ie, me) wants to quickly figure out how to do something. </p> <p> For example, I wanted to create an input stream from an existing array. </p> <p> I found this page: <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/libs/iostreams/doc/classes/array.html">http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/libs/iostreams/doc/classes/array.html</a> </p> <p> But frustratingly, there was no example on how to use. Google was of limited use, eventually I found this page, <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_53_0/libs/iostreams/doc/guide/generic_streams.html#examples">http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_53_0/libs/iostreams/doc/guide/generic_streams.html#examples</a> </p> <p> Which was exactly what I wanted to know, but there really should be an example on the array's page, or at least a link to the relevant documentation that talks about how to use it. </p> <p> Was very frustrating. </p> <p> cheers, Paul </p> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/9222 Trac 1.4.3 viboes Mon, 13 Jan 2014 22:13:33 GMT owner, component changed https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/9222#comment:1 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/9222#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>owner</strong> changed from <span class="trac-author">Matias Capeletto</span> to <span class="trac-author">Jonathan Turkanis</span> </li> <li><strong>component</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">Documentation</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">iostreams</span> </li> </ul> Ticket
