svn server performance
by Gennadiy Rozental 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

It second day while I am trying to download boost trunk from svn. I am running svn co command using TortoiseSVN First it's rediculously slow. Bandwidth jumps inbetween 0 and 2 k/sec, with ome visible pause once in a while. Second it fails every 10-15 minutes reporting lost connection. Am I doing something wrong? Is there better way? Please advise, Gennadiy

[filesystem] strange filenames created by tests confuse svn client
by Martin Wille 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

[this message is about the release branch, but it likely applies to the trunk as well] Hello, in boost/status/ there are files with strange names. I suspect these have been created by some test belonging to Boost.Filesystem. I further suspect that these tests assume a certain character encoding. The problem is that the subversion client looks at these filenames and produces error messages like svn: Can't convert string from native encoding to 'UTF-8': svn: fstream_test_?\226?\158?\128 The directory listing displays a lot of strange looking things: drwxr-xr-x 2 boost boost 72 Oct 9 05:21 boo -rw-r--r-- 1 boost boost 365 Oct 9 05:20 boost_dynamic_bitset_tests -rw-r--r-- 1 boost boost 395 Oct 7 14:43 borland_logo.gif -rw-r--r-- 1 boost boost 335 Oct 9 05:32 cube-fr.dot -rw-r--r-- 1 boost boost 333 Oct 9 05:32 cube.dot -rw-r--r-- 1 boost boost 3697 Oct 9 07:30 demo_save.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 boost boost 388 Oct 9 07:29 demofile.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 boost boost 353 Oct 9 05:32 disconnected-fr.dot -rw-r--r-- 1 boost boost 82 Oct 9 06:33 filename drwxr-xr-x 2 boost boost 72 Oct 9 05:21 foo -rw-r--r-- 1 boost boost 0 Oct 9 05:21 fsream_test_lpath -rw-r--r-- 1 boost boost 0 Oct 9 05:21 fstream_test_foo -rw-r--r-- 1 boost boost 0 Oct 9 05:21 fstream_test_??? -rw-r--r-- 1 boost boost 1249 Oct 7 14:43 intel_logo.gif -rw-r--r-- 1 boost boost 553 Oct 7 14:43 kai_logo.gif -rw-r--r-- 1 boost boost 956 Oct 9 05:32 kevin-bacon2.dat -rw-r--r-- 1 boost boost 763 Oct 7 14:43 ms_logo.gif -rw-r--r-- 1 boost boost 2348 Oct 7 14:43 notes.html -rw-r--r-- 1 boost boost 0 Oct 9 07:53 pattern.temp2 -rw-r--r-- 1 boost boost 15 Oct 9 07:53 pattern.test -rw-r--r-- 1 boost boost 450 Oct 9 05:32 random.dot -rw-r--r-- 1 boost boost 9 Oct 9 06:42 rng.saved -rw-r--r-- 1 boost boost 28 Oct 9 05:11 temp.tmp -rw-r--r-- 1 boost boost 46 Oct 9 07:28 test.dat -rw-r--r-- 1 boost boost 46 Oct 9 07:28 test2.dat -rw-r--r-- 1 boost boost 636 Oct 9 07:28 test3.dat -rw-r--r-- 1 boost boost 12 Oct 9 05:17 test_facet_file.out -rw-r--r-- 1 boost boost 8 Oct 9 07:28 testfile2 -rw-r--r-- 1 boost boost 49 Oct 9 07:04 testfile_binary_archive.hpp -rw-r--r-- 1 boost boost 36 Oct 9 07:04 testfile_text_archive.hpp -rw-r--r-- 1 boost boost 144 Oct 9 07:04 testfile_text_warchive.hpp -rw-r--r-- 1 boost boost 296 Oct 9 07:04 testfile_xml_archive.hpp -rw-r--r-- 1 boost boost 296 Oct 9 07:05 testfile_xml_warchive.hpp -rw-r--r-- 1 boost boost 186 Oct 9 05:20 tmp_file -rw-r--r-- 1 boost boost 454 Oct 9 05:32 triangular-fr.dot -rw-r--r-- 1 boost boost 455 Oct 9 05:32 triangular-kk.dot -rw-r--r-- 1 boost boost 655840 Oct 9 04:57 wave_slex_lexer.dfa -rw-r--r-- 1 boost boost 5690 Oct 7 14:43 win32-notes-map.txt drwxr-xr-x 3 boost boost 96 Oct 9 05:21 xx drwxr-xr-x 2 boost boost 72 Oct 9 05:21 ??? This directory is used for maintaining test-related stuff, e.g. the list of expected failures. IMO, the same directory shouldn't be a target for automatically generated files which do not contain anything meaningful. Please, could these files and directories (in order of preference): 1. be created elsewhere and 2. be deleted automatically after tests, or 3. be added to the svn:ignore property of the directory?

[type_traits] Last change to is_member_pointer.hpp breaks CW 8.3
by "JOAQUIN LOPEZ MU?Z" 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

Hello, compiling the following in CW 8.3 against the trunk: #include <boost/type_traits/is_member_pointer.hpp> int main() { } results in the errors: Error : ',' expected is_member_pointer.hpp line 50 template< typename T, typename U > struct is_member_pointer< U T::*const > : ::boost::integral_constant<bool,true> { }; [...] This comes from the latest change to is_member_pointer.hpp to deal with cv qualified pointers, see http://tinyurl.com/2q835l . Seemingly, CW 8.3 can't handle the cv qualifiers as used in the three extra BOOST_TT_AUX_BOOL_TRAIT_PARTIAL_SPEC1_2 at lines 50-52. The attached patch simply reverts the change for CW 8.3. OK to commit? Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

Re: [boost] [circular_buffer] Patch for base_test

OK, you can commit, thanks. This should fix it completely. Thanks once again for your effort. Jan ----- Original Message ---- From: Markus Schöpflin <markus.schoepflin(a)comsoft.de> To: boost(a)lists.boost.org Sent: Tuesday, 9 October, 2007 10:47:24 AM Subject: [boost] [circular_buffer] Patch for base_test Hello, attached patch makes base_test pass on Tru64/CXX. It contains two modifications to the test itself: 1. Change exception to std::exception, because Tru64 already has a struct called exception in the system header math.h. 2. Change vector<MyInteger> v(5, 10); to vector<MyInteger> v(5, MyInteger(10)); as the compiler prefers template <class InputIterator> vector::vector( InputIterator first, InputIterator last, const Allocator& = Allocator()); over explicit vector( size_type n, const T& value = T(), const Allocator& = Allocator()); otherwise.

[range] vc7.1 array workaround
by shunsuke 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

Hi, For some msvc-7.1 bug, if you pass an array to boost::begin, a form `range_iterator<const T>` in template< class T > inline BOOST_DEDUCED_TYPENAME range_iterator<const T>::type begin( const T& r ); knocks down the partial specialization system of msvc-7.1. I might find a workaround. See: http://tinyurl.com/yraqje This is msvc-7.1 specific range_iterator. (In fact, any conforming compiler should work. I hope boosters' code review. :-) If this is installed, all the tests compile on msvc-7.1. And all the tests except for iterator_range/sub_range pass. (The two seem to need as_literal etc.) BTW, a redundant assign_detail::assign_decay at <assign/ptr_list_of.hpp> seems to come back in HEAD? Regards, -- Shunsuke Sogame

[review] Review of Exception begins today
by Tobias Schwinger 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

The formal review of the Exception library, proposed by Emil Dotchevski, begins today. The library provides an exception class that can transport arbitrary values, thus freeing the user from designing custom exception classes. The library can be downloaded at http://tinyurl.com/24wtwu and its documentation can be read online at http://tinyurl.com/2bkojl . What to include in Review Comments ================================== Your comments may be brief or lengthy, but basically the Review Manager needs your evaluation of the library. If you identify problems along the way, please note if they are minor, serious, or showstoppers. Here are some questions you might want to answer in your review: * What is your evaluation of the design? * What is your evaluation of the implementation? * What is your evaluation of the documentation? * What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library? * Did you try to use the library? With what compiler? Did you have any problems? * How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A quick reading? In-depth study? * Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain? And finally, every review should answer this question: * Do you think the library should be accepted as a Boost library? Be sure to say this explicitly so that your other comments don't obscure your overall opinion. We're looking forward to your evaluation of this Boost candidate! Tobias Schwinger - Review Manager -

[serialization] patches to fix DLL support on Windows
by David Deakins 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

Currently, there are a small collection of bugs in the trunk version of Boost.Serialization that prevent the libraries from compiling as a Windows DLL. Most of these problems relate to missing dllimport/dllexport directives or, in a couple places, to directives that shouldn't be there. Attached are patches to several files to correct these issues.
