[asio] socket_types.hpp rev. 42119 broke HP-UX/aCC
by Boris Gubenko 19 Dec '07

19 Dec '07

The following change broke Boost.Asio library on HP-UX ia64 aCC (runner HP-UX_ia64_aCC). The library used to be green on the trunk and is still green on release branch.

[lib maintainers] Please identify headers in boost-root/boost
by Beman Dawes 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

For the headers that appear in boost-root/boost, rather than a library specific subdirectory, it is very helpful if they self-identify what library they belong to. This allows scripts to associate the header with a library. The usual way to do this is to include a comment. A typical example: // See http://www.boost.org/libs/config for documentation The exact format doesn't matter. What does matter is that the library name be found somewhere in the file, immediately following a string which contains "/libs/". Below is the result of doing: grep -L "/libs/" *.h* I'd appreciate maintainers adding a library identifying comment to these files. Otherwise I'll do it, which carries a slight risk that I'll get it wrong. Thanks, --Beman aligned_storage.hpp asio.hpp bimap.hpp blank.hpp blank_fwd.hpp circular_buffer.hpp circular_buffer_fwd.hpp date_time.hpp dynamic_property_map.hpp foreach.hpp function_equal.hpp function_output_iterator.hpp get_pointer.hpp implicit_cast.hpp is_placeholder.hpp iterator_adaptors.hpp lexical_cast.hpp mpi.hpp non_type.hpp none.hpp none_t.hpp optional.hpp parameter.hpp pfto.hpp pointer_cast.hpp program_options.hpp smart_cast.hpp spirit.hpp state_saver.hpp strong_typedef.hpp thread.hpp type.hpp variant.hpp wave.hpp

Possible bug in Unit Testing routines
by Thomas Thorp 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

In trying to track down a memory leak with my code (using Deleaker, VS2005, Windows XP, boost 1.34.1 from boost consulting), I'm getting the folowing message as being the source of a memory leak. This partiular list, shows the line where the memory was allocated. My question is, is this a valid error, or one I should just ignore?

Boost for new compiler
by Eames, Andrew 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

Hi, I apologize if this is a FAQ - I couldn't find much on other compilers I am interested in using boost with a compiler for a DSP - The compiler is somewhat archaic - I'm not using RTTI or exceptions (the compiler supports them but it is currently broken) - the STL has old iostreams and no doubt I will find some other musty corners. I don't have any illusions about getting the whole of boost to compile but I'm sure there are some large pieces that will work OK. I have no problem doing the port myself. I have successfully got shared_ptr and shared_array to work but I needed to make 3 fairly trivial changes to the code to get it to compile. Are boosters interested in folding these changes back into the main source in the interests of making boost more portable or am I on my own here since I am working with an unsupported compiler? I can post the problems I ran into if anyone is interested. Andrew

[review] Formal Fast-Track review of the Boost.Functional/Factory library begins today
by John Torjo 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

Hi all, Today starts the formal Fast-Track review of the Boost.Functional/Factory library. *Description* Factories are callback mechanisms for constructors, so we provide two function objects, boost::value_factory and boost::factory, that encasulate object construction through direct application of the constructor or operator new, respectively. These templates make other facilities that operate on function objects (such as standard algorithms, Boost.Bind, Boost.Function, or Fusion functional adapters) applicable to constructors. *Author* Tobias Schwinger *Download* Get it from here: http://www.boost-consulting.com/vault/index.php?action=downloadfile&filenam… Read documentation online here: http://torjo.com/tobias/ 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. Best, John Torjo - Review Manager - -- http://John.Torjo.com -- C++ expert ... call me only if you want things done right

[Boost-users] Run-time flavors of Boost (aka lib suffix / runtime-options)
by Benoit Sigoure 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

Hello list, [I already sent this question to Boost-users but nobody replied there, so I guess that you people might have a better idea] Boost libraries often ship compiled in various different "flavors" (compiled with different runtime-options). First off, is there an official place where this is documented? I didn't find any, besides the header `boost/config/auto_link.hpp'. Based on this header, I tried to document the suffix used by Boost libraries as follows: > A suffix is one or more of the following letters: sgdpn (in that > order). s = static runtime, d = debug build, g = debug/diagnostic > runtime, p = STLPort > build, n = (unsure) STLPort build without iostreams from STLPort > (it looks > like `n' must always be used along with `p'). Additionally, it can > start > with `mt-' to indicate for multi-thread builds. Is this accurate? What is a `static runtime'? My guess is that `-s' is Windows-specific, because on Windows it's common to see both shared libraries and static libraries using the same naming scheme `libfoo.lib' (because in the shared library case, `libfoo.lib' is not a directly shared library but rather an import library), can anyone confirm that? This entails that for most UNIX-like OSes, the `-s' variant doesn't exist, it's the `libfoo.a' static archive that is used instead, is that correct? Cheers, -- Benoit Sigoure aka Tsuna EPITA Research and Development Laboratory

[serialization] serialization used in multiple DLL problems
by Felipe Magno de Almeida 17 Dec '07

17 Dec '07

Hi, I was able to make this work on serialization after some minor modifications: PS: pseudo-code DLL1: header.h BOOST_IS_ABSTRACT(base); class base { virtual ~base() {} // serialization }; source.cpp class derived : base { // serialization }; BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT(derived); void serialize(oarchive& ar) { boost::shared_ptr<derived> p(new derived); ar << p; } DLL2: std::stringstream stm; { oarchive oar(stm); serialize(oar); } { iarchive iar(stm); boost::shared_ptr<base> p; iar >> p; // deserializing a derived class defined in DLL1 in DLL2 } I had to compile serialization as a lib. And making tk_map and kt_map global objects (not sure if this is necessary though), removing the assertion about multiple inserts in static insert function of both [kt][tk]_map's and commenting line 315 of basic_oarchive: //if((cobject_info_set.size() > original_count)){ +{ I don't know the internals of serialization enough to say this is anything near correct. And I'll still need to test more, which I will do, since I need this functionality very much. Regards, -- Felipe Magno de Almeida

Until you do that, no tickets can be assigned to you, and will remain under "None".
