[quickbook] changing paths
by lcaminiti 21 Jan '12

21 Jan '12

Hello all, How can I change the paths were Boost.QuickBook looks for the following files? 1) CSS and icon images by default from BOOST_ROOT/doc. 2) Navigation bar by default from BOOST_ROOT/tools/boostbook/xls. Essentially, I'd like to put the CSS, icon images, and navbar into a different path. Also, I'd like to change the navbar to one of my own. Thanks a lot. --Lorenzo -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/boost-quickbook-changing-paths-tp3925967… Sent from the Boost - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[review] WANTED: Review Managers
by Ronald Garcia 20 Jan '12

20 Jan '12

Hi all, Currently the Boost review schedule has 8 libraries ready for review, but we need some individuals to volunteer to be review managers so that we can schedule reviews for them. In general review managers are active boost participants, including library contributors, infrastructure contributors, and other mailing list participants with a substantial track record of constructive participation. The libraries on the review schedule are as follows (the "(M)" simply means that a manager is needed): * Join (M) * Pimpl (M) * Sorting (M) * Quaternions, Vectors, Matrices (M) * Variadic Macro Data (M) * Block Pointer (M) * Singularity (M) * Predef (M) If you are interested, able, and qualified to be a review manager for one of these libraries, please contact myself and/or John Phillips. Thank you. Best, Ron

Permission to merge to release a remove-warnings-update
by Barend Gehrels 19 Jan '12

19 Jan '12

Hi, Christophe sent me this week a patch to avoid many warnings about unused parameters in many files. I applied that (all but one file which was not about unused parameters) and fixed some more. So this is a low-risk update which might be convenient for many users. All tests run fine. Do I have permission to still merge this with the Release branch? Thanks, Barend

by Dave Abrahams 19 Jan '12

19 Jan '12

Folks, I was just informed that Boost is a top contender for SourceForge's February Project Of The Month. The vote is happening on TwtPoll, here: http://twtpoll.com/7vt4lq It's pretty close, so if you could vote Boost up, it could be good for our profile and our future. Thanks! -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

Re: [boost] [thread] Boost.Thread defines boost::move which conflicts with Boost.Move
by Evan Wallace 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

On Thu, 05 Jan 2012 07:00:27 +0100, Vicente J. Botet Escriba wrote:>Mankarse please, could you post here the patch for the boost.thread >class so that I can start the integration of what you have already done? I have attached a patch to the ticket (https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/6194) This patch is fairly comprehensive in terms of code, but it does not include any tests or documentation. In the course of writing the patch, I created some simple tests, but I have not yet translated these into Boost.Test testcases, or included them in the patch. I have tested the basic functionality on a number of compilers, but there are probably still some bugs in the patched code. The patch contains a number of known problems that may be worth discussing:1) Explicit move() and copy() calls:boost::thread and boost::packaged_task both have templated constructors that take an rvalue reference to a functor (which they move or copy as appropriate). Templates parameters cannot be deduced to a type that is only reachable through an conversion operator. Template constructors can also never be explicitly instansiated. (As far as I know.) This means that the overloads that are used in the definitions of BOOST_COPYABLE_AND_MOVABLE types (BOOST_RV_REF(type), BOOST_CATCH_CONST_RLVALUE(type), type&), are not matched for rvalue objects (in C++03 mode). Example: //In C++11 the `CopyableAndMovableFunctor` would be //moved into the thread. //In C++03 this does not compile. boost::thread((CopyableAndMovableFunctor())) Here, no overload would be matched, because the `type` in the overloads is templated. To solve this problem I modified Boost.Move to add two member functions - `copy()` and `move()` - which forward to the rv const& and rv& conversion operators. With these, the above example can be rewritten as: //In both C++11 and C++03 the `CopyableAndMovableFunctor` //will be moved or copied into the thread as appropriate. boost::thread(CopyableAndMovableFunctor().move()), boost::thread(CopyableAndMovableFunctor().copy()) I can imagine the names `copy` and `move` being quite common, so this might cause unfortunate conflicts. Is this an acceptable change to Boost.Move? Is there another way to get the functionality that does not require this? 2) SFINAE requiredBoost.Move requires SFINAE, and by extension Boost.Thread now also requires SFINAE. Previously, Boost.Thread did not require SFINAE. Is this an acceptable regression, or should more work be put into maintaining compatibility with compilers that do not support SFINAE? 3) Not using has_move_emulation_enabledI did not notice the `has_move_emulation_enabled` metafunction, and instead used `is_convertible!(T&, boost::rv!(T))`. This may mean that some situations that `has_move_emulation_enabled` accounts for will not be accounted for by the code in the patch. I have not yet evaluated whether simply replacing all the occurrences will work. Any thoughts? 4) Not using Vicente's patches for #6174 or #5990By the time that I was aware of these patches, I had already independently fixed the issues. I have not looked at either patch in detail, but they each go about fixing the issues in a significantly different way from my patch. Which code should be used in each of these cases? Where should I go from here? I could do the integration into the svn trunk version, write the documentation, or update the tests to the new version. Are there any other tasks that I can help out with? I will of course keep the patch updated with fixes for any bugs that I find in it. Evan Wallace

[preprocessor] Warning: Incoming
by Paul Mensonides 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

I'm about to commit a relatively significant changeset to the pp-lib. This is the result of work by Edward Diener and I to add limited variadic support to the pp-lib. Edward can comment in more detail regarding the extent of those changes, but they do not add ground-up support. However, there are significant changes to heavily used low-level facilities such as BOOST_PP_TUPLE_ELEM (sometimes even complete implementation replacements). We have put in a great deal of effort to avoid introducing new errors or warnings in either the building of the Boost binaries or in the regression tests. However, we may have missed some issues.

[preprocessor] [variadic] BOOST_PP_VARIADICS vs BOOST_NO_VARIADIC_MACROS
by lcaminiti 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

Hello all, Why does Boost.Preprocessor redefines BOOST_PP_VARIAIDCS instead of just using BOOST_NO_VARIADIC_MACROS from Boost.Config? Furthermore, GCC supports variadics also when C++11 extensions are not enabled so I think the following should not && __GXX_EXPERIMENTAL_CXX0X__: // File: boost/preprocessor/config/config.hpp # /* Wave (C/C++), GCC (C++) */ # elif defined __WAVE__ && __WAVE_HAS_VARIADICS__ || defined __GNUC__ && __GXX_EXPERIMENTAL_CXX0X__ # define BOOST_PP_VARIADICS 1 Thanks. --Lorenzo -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/boost-preprocessor-variadic-BOOST-PP-VAR… Sent from the Boost - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Need some 64-bit testing help.
by John Maddock 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

Folks, I need some help with the tests in: sandbox/big_number/libs/multiprecision/test Which I have an suspicion may have problems in 64-bit release mode (though I hope not!), so I'm looking for some folks to do a: bjam release --disable-concepts in that directory with whatever 64-bit compilers you have access to. Many thanks in advance! John.
