Re: [Boost-users] [cfe-dev] [llvm-dev] Error: ISO C++17 does not allow 'register' storage class specifier [-Wregister], when building Boost 1.69.0
by Osman Zakir 25 Dec '18

I'll build using C++14 mode, then. I wonder if Python 3.7.1 has this issue as well? If it doesn't, then maybe Boost should switch over to that version of Python. ________________________________ From: Matthieu Brucher <matthieu.brucher(a)gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 25, 2018 2:56 PM To: Oleg Smolsky Cc: Craig Topper; Osman Zakir; clang developer list; cfe-users(a)lists.llvm.org; llvm-dev(a)lists.llvm.org Subject: Re: [cfe-dev] [llvm-dev] Error: ISO C++17 does not allow 'register' storage class specifier [-Wregister], when building Boost 1.69.0 The issue comes in part form the Python headers that have the keyword.

[Asio/Beast] Any non-obvious reasons for no bind_executor_and_allocator?
by Sorin Fetche 23 Dec '18

23 Dec '18

Hi, As I'm looking to modernize an older C++03 project based on Boost.Asio to use C++17 and the net TS api, I am not ready yet to give up on using lambdas for completion handlers. Boost.Asio and Boost.Beast have some utilities for correctly implementing asynchronous composed operations but from them only asio::bind_executor seems to be applicable to lambdas. And the problem is that it only associates an executor with a (lambda) object; I didn't find any utility for associating an allocator too. Could there be any reason for a utility that associates both an executor and an allocator with an object to not work correctly when implementing asynchronous operations? Or is it just that this utility has not been implemented yet? I did come across the paper "Networking TS Associations for Call Wrappers"[1], but I didn't see any mention there about bind_executor or something similar for allocators or why this kind of approach wouldn't work. I would be very happy if I could write something like: asio::post( socket_.get_executor(), bind_executor_and_allocator_from( handler_, [...] { self_.handler_(...); })); and, unless I'm missing something, such a utility could be implemented similarly to the existing asio::bind_executor. Thank you, Sorin [1] http://open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG21/docs/papers/2018/p1133r0.html

Update for C++17 register keyword error question
by Osman Zakir 23 Dec '18

23 Dec '18

This is the error I get when trying to build Boost 1.69.0 with LLVM: "error: ISO C++17 does not allow 'register' storage class specifier [-Wregister]". I've also sent an email about this to the LLVM developer mailing list. I've attached the project-config.jam file to this message. Please let me know how to fix this. Thanks in advance.

[uuid] constexpr uuid from string and ""_uuid literal
by Tobias Loew 23 Dec '18

23 Dec '18

Hi, while searching for constexpr GUID from string generators, I found https://gist.github.com/AlexBAV/b58e92d7632bae5d6f5947be455f796f . Since I still work with VS 2015, I wrote a C++11 constexpr version incl. boost-uuid generators. If there's interest adding this to boost uuid, please have a look at https://github.com/tobias-loew/constexpr-GUID-cpp-11 Tobias -- Sent from: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/Boost-Users-f2553780.html

Patch for using boost-1_69_0 and clang-cl
by JR Cary 23 Dec '18

I found that I had to apply the attached patch to build another project that uses boost with clang-cl, or else I got an error that complained about the non-existence of std::snprintf. John Cary

Error when trying to build Boost 1.69.0 with LLVM
by Osman Zakir 22 Dec '18

22 Dec '18

When trying to build Boost 1.69.0 with LLVM, I had an error about the "register" keyword, regarding the removal of it in C++17. I searched on the Web and found out that I can use the "-Wno-register" flag to calm down Clang 6.0.0. What do I do in Clang 8.0.0? The same?

Questions about Boost.Multiprecision..
by A Z 20 Dec '18

20 Dec '18

I want to be performing some algebraic functions work on cpp_rational which I will be using templates with the following type to configure precision (and scale?) #include <boost/multiprecision/cpp_int.hpp> in order to avoid the use of floating point types. --What is the #include statement for cpp_rational? I can't manage to find it. -When using non-floating point, is there a method to obtain a variable precision pi, or do I have to use arccos(-1); ? What is the file to import for that? -If I want to import a non-floating-point (cpp_rational) library power, nth root, trigonometry, all the useful function, what is the #include and the file in boost for that?

Having some trouble with bootstrapping Boost to use LLVM
by Osman Zakir 20 Dec '18

20 Dec '18

I changed the project-config.jam file in my Boost source tree to have Boost.Build use LLVM, but then when I used "bootstrap" command after, I saw that it was still using MSVC. When I looked at the project-config.jam file again at that point, I saw that its content had been reverted back to the default one for building with MSVC. What's going on? What do I need to do? Is there an argument I need to provide to the bootstrap command here so that it'll keep the configuration file content that I want it to? And is there no help command that would let me see what arguments, if any, I can pass to the tool? Another thing I want to ask is whether or not I need to have Boost.Built emit library files with a .bc extension to be able to link them with code I want to build using the Emscripten compiler. I ask because Emscripten needs compiled libraries to have been compiled to LLVM bitcode, and when Emscripten itself does this it adds the .bc extension instead of the .lib one.
