Description

Dear Developers,

I need FFT. I've used Boost for a while and to employ FFT I have to use another library. Could you add FFT to Math module, please?

A proper implementation of FFT's is not trivial. For this to happen someone would need to create an FFT library and propose it for review. Trac is not the appropriate place for this.

A FFT implementation is needed on account of some Boost special types (for instance, vectors). In order to use FFT, I need first to convert a complex array into vector type of a FFT module (Armadillo), apply FFT, convert the result into Boost type.

What is the procedure for addition of a feature to Boost? I know that FFT isn't trivial, but to implement this isn't impossible, because the developers will adopt an implementation which already exists.

FFT is needed by many users and I think it's worth discussing.

http://www.boost.org/development/submissions.html. I would agree that an FFT implementation would be useful, but it's not going to happen until someone (perhaps you) volunteers to do the work. The proper place for such discussions is the Boost developers mailing list.
