[Threads] Failures on msvc, msvc-stlport
by Doug Gregor 24 May '05

24 May '05

The Threads library is failing the majority of the regression tests on Visual C++ 6.0, where it was previously supported. Are we continuing to support this compiler in the Thread library? If so, we need to fix these bugs immediately; if not, we need to mark the toolsets unusable with the Thread library. Doug

I've managed to use the vc71 .sln files to build the serialization library, but now I have a question that probably seems pretty stupid: How does Visual Studio know which .lib file to try to link against? I'm using the headers from CVS, and Visual studio in compiling my project is trying to link against libboost_serialization-vc71-mt-sgd-1_33.lib, but my project does not mention this file, so I am confused about how to point Visual studio at the library generated from the CVS source. > -----Original Message----- > From: Keith MacDonald [mailto:boost@mailclan.net] > Sent: 22 May 2005 11:05 > To: boost(a)lists.boost.org > Subject: [boost] Re: Building from current CVS > > Here's a batch file that I use to build Boost from CVS with > VC 7.1 on XP: > > ========= build7.bat ========= > REM Build Boost libraries with VC7.1 > SET PYTHON_ROOT=C:\Apps\Python24 > SET PYTHON_VERSION=2.4 > REM First build JAM > CD tools\build\jam_src > CALL build.bat > REM Now use JAM to build BOOST > CD ..\..\.. > @echo "Building Boost with VC 7.1 ..." > tools\build\jam_src\bin.ntx86\bjam > "-sTOOLS=vc-7_1" -sICU_PATH=F:\Dev\icu-3.2 > build7.log @ECHO > "Finished.

[type traits] is_abstract expected failures
by Doug Gregor 24 May '05

24 May '05

The following compilers are failing is_abstract_test: - cw-9_5-darwin - gcc-3_3-darwin - cw-9_4 From the list of compilers that are already expected to fail this test (include CW 9.3 and GCC 3.3.x), I think they should be marked as known failures and will do so unless anyone objects. Doug

Boost HEAD: does not compile with Borland C++ 5.6.5 (patch included)
by "André Heynatz" 24 May '05

24 May '05

Hello, there is a version check in boost/config/compilers/borland.hpp for the misfeature BOOST_NO_SFINAE, Borland C++ 5.6.5 still lacks proper support for this, the patch appended speaks for itself.

Thanks. But does anyone else find that bjam is unable to create files/directories? I would think that it is a problem with filesystem permissions were it not that I can use mkdir and that jam0.exe does get built, as do the obj files. > -----Original Message----- > From: Keith MacDonald [mailto:boost@mailclan.net] > Sent: 22 May 2005 11:05 > To: boost(a)lists.boost.org > Subject: [boost] Re: Building from current CVS > > Here's a batch file that I use to build Boost from CVS with > VC 7.1 on XP: > > ========= build7.bat ========= > REM Build Boost libraries with VC7.1 > SET PYTHON_ROOT=C:\Apps\Python24 > SET PYTHON_VERSION=2.4 > REM First build JAM > CD tools\build\jam_src > CALL build.bat > REM Now use JAM to build BOOST > CD ..\..\.. > @echo "Building Boost with VC 7.1 ..." > tools\build\jam_src\bin.ntx86\bjam > "-sTOOLS=vc-7_1" -sICU_PATH=F:\Dev\icu-3.2 > build7.log @ECHO > "Finished.

[serialization] autolinking
by JOAQUIN LOPEZ MU?Z 23 May '05

23 May '05

I'd like to know which the circumstances are under which Boost.Serialization autolinking feature kicks in. Last time I discuseed with Robert about this (see http://lists.boost.org/MailArchives/boost/msg78596.php) seemed that autolinking won't affect programs that are only including boost/serialization/* headers but *not* including any of *_?archive.hpp. But recent tests in the mslater regression runner (for instance http://tinyurl.com/a3n6u) suggest that this may not longer be true. Clarification, please? Thank you, Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

RE: Logging library - your own scenario! (John Torjo)
by Shanks, Graham 23 May '05

23 May '05

Most of our scenario has been covered by other posts, i.e. configurable levels of logging, configurable destinations - including an in-memory cyclic buffer (sometimes the only way to catch fatal bugs on a system without an ICE or core dump), etc. One thing that I would really like to have that hasn't been mentioned before is the ability to configure how char types (including signed and unsigned) are logged. A lot of our work is low level network related and logging messages is important. For this we almost always use char types to contain numbers, but of course any use of stream inserters will treat them as characters, something that can ruin a complete log (if serialised as text). Although it could be said to be our responsibility to ensure that any data logged via a stream inserter is formatted correctly sometimes it is easy to forget. The ability to configure the logging library to specify how types are formatted in the log would be extremely useful (and probably not just for this scenario). The cppunit library allows the format of types output to be configured by introducing a specialisation of a traits class which would be useful. It could look something like: template<> struct log_traits<unsigned char> { static std::string toString( const unsigned char& x ) { std::ostringstream ost; ost << static_cast<unsigned int>(x); return ost.str(); } }; I have not yet had time to look at your library so if this feature is already included then please accept my apologies - but count it as a vote for its retention :-) Graham Shanks ******************************************************************** This email and any attachments are confidential to the intended recipient and may also be privileged.
