Add boost.compute headers? #16

Closed cdeterman closed 6 years ago

cdeterman commented 9 years ago

Would it be possible to add the boost.compute headers to the BH package? These headers would be very helpful for GPU development and seems only right that they should be part of the BH package? Although I am sure you could find them, the github page is https://github.com/boostorg/compute

I'm not sure what you policy is exactly on adding additional boost components but it couldn't hurt to ask.

You are doing the right thing: asking ;-) I think we recommend just that (ask; issue ticket) in the README.md file.

But we do use boost.org releases and I do not see 1.58 containing Boost.Compute. The link you provide points to the unreleased GH repos for Boost 2 and beyond.

And this page confirms it. So sorry -- outside of the BH spec.

I would like to readdress this issue. I just confirmed that boost compute is now part of the boostorg library both with the boost.compute team and on the boostorg website.

eddelbuettel commented 6 years ago

Yep, agreed!

This is now in master and should be on CRAN "soon".
