Re: [boost] [gsoc2008] Draft proposal for cpp-netlib and pion-net integration
by Divye Kapoor 28 Mar '08

28 Mar '08

Hello developers, I realize that things are busy due to an impending release of Boost 1.35 but as I have received no response from any of the developers on my draft proposal, should I assume that there are no Boost library authors interested for this particular proposal? In any case, I will put up a formal project proposal under the GSoC for your consideration. Thank you for your time, Divye Kapoor -- Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road moved beneath the chicken depends upon your frame of reference.

[1.35.0] Release Candidate 3 available
by Beman Dawes 28 Mar '08

28 Mar '08

See http://boost.cowic.de/rc/ For this release candidate the naming is exactly the same as it will be in the final release. Unless a showstopper emerges, these exact files will become the final release. Before declaring the release done, we need to verify that none of the four package files is corrupt and installs without error. I'm starting to do that now. I encourage others to also look for showstoppers, and report results on the developer or user lists. If no showstoppers surface by 9 AM tomorrow morning, US Eastern time, I'll declare 1.35.0 done, create the tag, and push the files out to Sourceforge. --Beman

regex crashes under release buid
by Jon Trauntvein 28 Mar '08

28 Mar '08

I recently made the switch from visual studio 2005 to visual studio 2008. I have a project that uses boost regular expressions as shown in the following fragment: bool StringCompDesc::is_valid_input(char const *s) { bool rtn = strlen(s) <= max_len; if(rtn && validate_pattern.length()) { boost::regex ex(validate_pattern.c_str()); boost::cmatch what; rtn = boost::regex_match(s,what,ex); } return rtn; } // is_valid_input When this method is invoked with a value of "192.168.4.230" and a validate_pattern value of "^([0-9]{1,3})?(\.[0-9]{1,3}){0,3}$" under the release build, the program crashes. The stack trace shows that match_results<>::set_size() winds up invoking _invalid_parameter_noinfo(). I have seen this with both versions 1.33.1 and 1.34.1. It would appear that visual studio 2008 is not a recognised build environment for boost but, despite the warning messages emitted in the boost headers, it has appeared to work until now. If anyone is aware of a way to work around this problem, I would appreciate their advice. Regards, Jon Trauntvein

[proto] Review
by Noah Stein 28 Mar '08

28 Mar '08

I wish I could have spent much more time with Eric’s library. I think it addresses a very important niche in the world of C++ libraries. This library could save me countless hours in the future. Even though I didn’t get as much time with the library as I’d hoped, I vote to accept it. - What is your evaluation of the design? The design is well thought out. I must admit that using it wasn’t as straightforward as I thought it would be. I believe that is not due to poor design. I believe it is fundamentally a result of Eric really trying to create a library that is ambitious and is really trying to provide an extensive set of features and functionality for library authors. - What is your evaluation of the implementation? I didn’t look too deeply into the guts of the implementation, only in so far as I was getting errors in my attempts to use the library. Unfortunately, the library is complex. There’s no way around it. I just didn’t have the time to dig too extensively under the hood. - What is your evaluation of the documentation? I don’t want to say that it was lacking, but for me this was the weakest aspect of a very strong library. The documentation is very good at what it covers. It does cover all the parts of the library. Each concept is covered in a good amount of detail. I hate to leave it at that, but I’ve been at this bullet point for 10 minutes now trying to figure out how to express what I want to say. Unfortunately, it’s 1:00 AM, and I need to be up in 4 hours. I’ll try to put something together this weekend or early next week to cover what I’m thinking. - What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library? Extremely useful. - Did you try to use the library? With what compiler? Did you have any problems? I played around with implementing a class using proto. The environment was MSVC2005. I had zero problems compiling the examples or using the libraries. - How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A quick reading? In-depth study? I read the documentation 3 or 4 times over the course of a few days. I spent 5 hours or so compiling the examples and working on implementing my own class with the library. - Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain? I think I’m sufficiently knowledgeable about the domain. I’ve implemented expression trees for a vector-matrix library in the past. Knowing how much effort it was to write that for a single domain without implementing expression transforms, I understand the tremendous effort that went into creating a generic system. I really think Eric has done a great job. He’s clearly put in a tremendous amount of thought into proto. Clearly, it’s been a lot of time. Having worked on Spirit in the past, I’m sure that it’s put proto through the fire already. If it can handle Spirit and the diversity of examples in the documentation, Eric’s done a fine job of making a solid DSEL library. -- Noah No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG. Version: 7.5.519 / Virus Database: 269.22.1/1346 - Release Date: 3/27/2008 10:03 AM

[Review][proto] my review
by Maurizio Vitale 28 Mar '08

28 Mar '08

First let me apologize for the short review. It won't make justice to the huge contribution Eric made to the Boost Libraries. I definitely think Proto should be accepted and included into an official Boost release as soon as practical. - What is your evaluation of the design? Beautiful. - What is your evaluation of the implementation? Lot of attention has been put into making sure that compilation time stayed with reason, not an easy task with today's compilers. Also, to the extent it didn't conflict with the compilation speed goal, Eric made substantial restructuring of the code to prevent unwanted captures due to ADL and otherwise reduce surprises for users. I haven't really worked with the version submitted for review, but one of the issue I did have with v2 was that and_ and or_ didn't allow for 1 and 0 arguments, which is useful in a variety of folding situations. I remember Eric agreeing in the end that this could be indeed useful in some cases and the problem could be compilation time. I don't know if it has been solved one way or the other: a cursory look at the new documentation doesn't show any minimum arity (one thing that the docs should do, irrespective on whether the minimum is 0,1 or 2) Another issue I remember was related to BOOST_PROTO_MAX_ARITY. It is (was?) controlling both the maximum arity of boost expressions _and_ the arity of templates in grammars. Eric promised to decouple the two uses, but in my quick look at the docs I couldn't find out whether it has happened or not. I believe this change should really go in. The last design issue I had was about whether expressions should allow to store terminals by value. This might be different with the work on integrating fusion, I don't know. In my application (fixed-point arithmetic) I had cases where my object could have been stored by value and taking the space of an int (or less) and I would have liked to be able to do so. I admit mine was probably a very special case, where the quality of the assembler code generated was of upmost importance (must rival hand-written code). I don't remember the details of the conversation with Eric on this, but I think his conclusion was that allowing the user to specify the storage policy would have made compilation in the typical case slower. Still... - What is your evaluation of the documentation? Haven't had to much time to spend on it, but it seems to have improved substantially. Once proto gets in the hand of new users we'll know whether it does a good job in introducing complex concepts which are probably new to the average C++ programmer. - What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library? Huge. - Did you try to use the library? With what compiler? Did you have any problems? I did use the previous version from April to October 2007 and have been a regular harrasser of Eric. Compilers: - GCC, many versions including SVN heads - Intel C++ compiler, few 9.x.y versions Problems: a few in the beginning, promptly fixed by Eric. I remember the Intel compiler exposed a number of issues. - How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A quick reading? In-depth study? the review itself consisted of a quick glance to the new documentations. The work with the previous version of the library was 3-4 months (FTE) - Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain? I believe so.

[1.35.0] Web site fixes needed
by Beman Dawes 28 Mar '08

28 Mar '08

I've just added three web site items to the web site do list (http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/MergeOneDotThreeFiveDotZero) * www.boost.org/libs should redirect to the current library docs page. * The "Documentation" sidebar entry links to an empty page. * The "Documentation" sidebar expansion does not list 1.35.0. --Beman

Hi, When compiling Boost.Python using the *.dsw visual studio project file in the boost/libs/python/build directory, the project fails to link. Note that I've converted this project to a Visual Studio 9 project.
