[githelp] Can't clone superproject..
by Rene Rivera 26 May '13

26 May '13

Not sure if it's just because I'm using Eclipse JGit for this but I get: === Git repository clone failed. Missing unknown 57ec5d1534810090649b18c88e66a46f48cdcf1c === When I attempt to import/clone the superproject plus submodules. -- -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - grafikrobot/yahoo

[githelp] forwarding headers?
by legalize+jeeves＠mail.xmission.com 26 May '13

26 May '13

[Please do not mail me a copy of your followup] OK, I can recursively cloen the git repo and with a little editing of bootstrap.sh to remove the presence of '/v2', I am able to finish the bootstrap script. However, actually building libraries fails because there is no 'boost' subdirectory and presumably no forwarding headers in that directory. So how are those built? -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book <http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline> The Computer Graphics Museum <http://computergraphicsmuseum.org> The Terminals Wiki <http://terminals.classiccmp.org> Legalize Adulthood!

[regex][config] BOOST_FALLTHROUGH not on the release branch
by Daniel James 26 May '13

26 May '13

The implementation of the new BOOST_FALLTHROUGH macro hasn't been merged to release yet, but the regex merge from yesterday included some code which uses it, so that isn't compiling now. The test results are a bit behind, so it hasn't shown up there yet.

Boost.Thread Co-authoring
by Vicente J. Botet Escriba 26 May '13

26 May '13

Hi, I'm the main maintainer of Boost.Thread since Nov 2011. I've fixed a lot of bugs and added a lot of new features (mainly conformance with C++11, but also others). Could my name appear as co-author of Boost.Thread in http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_53_0/? Best, Vicente

[bind][function][lamda][signals][variant][boostbook] PDF doc builds broken?
by John Maddock 25 May '13

25 May '13

The libs bind, lambda, signals, variant and boostbook all have: project boost/doc ; In their Jamfiles, and Boost.Build is now treating that duplication as an error. Is there any reason these project ID's can't be just commented out / removed? Thanks, John.

[multi-array] warning on mingw caused by assert macro
by Ronan Trépos 24 May '13

24 May '13

Hello boost comunity, I found a warning using boost/multi-array (boost 1.53) on mingw. The warning message : boost/multi_array/base.hpp:503:13: attention : unused variable 'bound_adjustment' When compiling a simple example including muti-array with the command line : c:\MinGW\bin\g++.exe -Wall -Wextra -O2 -DNDEBUG -g -Ic:/natifvle/install/boost/include/boost-1_53 -o MyExample.o -c MyExample.cpp The reason is that a locale variable bound_adjustement, before line 503 of multi_array/base.hpp, is defined and computed only if BOOST_DISABLE_ASSERT is not set. The line after, a BOOST_ASSERT is called using bound_adjustement. Since BOOST_DISABLE_ASSERT is not set, BOOST_ASSERT is defined as the mingw macro "assert" in boost/assert.hpp. Finally, mingw assert macro (see Mingw/include/assert.h) is defined as ((void) 0) if NDEBUG is defined (this is the case in my example). It took me a long time to see the problem. So my questions are : - Do I miss use the combination of NDEBUG and BOOST_DISABLE_ASSERTS ? Eg. if NDEBUG and BOOST_DISABLE_ASSERTS are set (or unset) together, then I have no warning. Should they be set to the same value ? - Or should boost/assert.hpp take into account NDEBUG for defining the macro BOOST_ASSERT (only for mingw ?)

[ASIO] Issue with epoll reactor? Callback handler not executed.
by Arpan Sen 24 May '13

24 May '13

Hi folks, I am using the latest version of Boost ASIO on a Suse11 box. I recently upgraded from an older version of Boost, and life since then has been unusually harsh. **** I have a piece of ASIO code that worked just fine earlier but doesn't do so now. Here's the offending snippet, rather simple looking: **** boost::asio::streambuf response; ... // code for deadline timer tcp::socket socket(io_service); socket.async_connect(*iterator, &conn_handler); io_service.reset(); io_service.run_one(); async_write(socket, buffer(command.c_str()), &write_handler); io_service.reset(); io_service.run_one(); async_read_until(socket, response, '\n', &read_handler); io_service.reset(); io_service.run_one(); Everything works fine till async_write. During async_read_until I can see that the response buffer does have some data by the time it returns. However, when io_service.run_one() happens the read_handler is NOT ALWAYS called which is very surprising. The function calling the read_handler (internal to ASIO) also does a commit to the streambuf so streambuf.size() becomes non-zero, i.e. ready for consumption by something like istream. All of that is missing now. Debugging this in some detail, I see that run_one is in fact responsible for calling read_handler. That is NOT happening and in epoll_reactor I am not seeing any real activity. Something there is activity and the behavior is as expected but 9/10 times completion handler won’t be called. The io_service object runs in a specific thread (I have a bunch of threads in my app) and no other thread accesses it. The Linux kernel running previous version has not been changed when I upgraded the Boost libraries. Instead of epoll, if I use select everything looks good. Any thoughts? Arpan

[git][property_tree] Conversion Looks Good, Lots of Redundant Branches
by Sebastian Redl 24 May '13

24 May '13

Reviewed the PropertyTree git history. Apart from the existence of all these redundant branches it looks good. Is there a way to modify the conversion script so that the branch commit itself doesn't show up if there are no follow-ups? Not a big thing, I can easily kill those branches afterwards, but they look so useless. Sebastian

[githelp] modular boost instructions?
by legalize+jeeves＠mail.xmission.com 24 May '13

24 May '13

[Please do not mail me a copy of your followup] OK, we've already established that the 'Experimenting with Modular Boost' instructions are woefully stale. Can someone please briefly describe what submodules I need to manually add just to get something bootstrapped? In the svn boost there is <root>/build and <root>/tools/build; neither of these is present in boostorg/boost and while there is a build repo, it seems to define a structure that creates <root>/build/build, so I'm confused. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book <http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline> The Computer Graphics Museum <http://computergraphicsmuseum.org> The Terminals Wiki <http://terminals.classiccmp.org> Legalize Adulthood!
