Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result. This is on the master branch. I didn't modify my local copy of Boost.Align, so there must have been some weird change upstream that cannot be merged automatically. Does anyone know why this happens? For now I just reset my local branch to be equal to the remote master, but this kind of problem happened before and it breaks my update scripts.

Call for Papers for Meeting C++ 2015 ends on Wednesday
by Jens Weller 05 Apr '15

05 Apr '15

Hello Boost & Qt Community, the call for papers for this years Meeting C++ Conference got extended and ends on Wednesday(April 8th) next week! Especially talks about libraries have still a good chance to get voted into the conference, and also the embedded theme track! CfP announcement: http://meetingcpp.com/index.php/newsreader/items/call-for-papers-for-meetin… The voting will begin shortly after the end of the CfP and run ~10 days, this will give me guidance to select the right talks for this years conference! thanks, Jens Weller

Equivalent of boost-commits?
by Steven Watanabe 05 Apr '15

05 Apr '15

AMDG I used to subscribe to boost-commits under svn. I couldn't find any way to set this up under github. Also, does anyone know how to subscribe to all repositories, without having to handle each repository individually? In Christ, Steven Watanabe

[sync] Needs a 'master' branch
by Edward Diener 03 Apr '15

03 Apr '15

I created a Github issue that the sync library needs a 'master' branch, even if its just the current 'develop' branch. Please let's get this done. It is more than just irritating that: git submodule foreach --recursive git checkoout master stops and fails because a Boost library does not have a 'master' branch.

[where to start][got work for me?][newbee][can I help with something?]
by vivek dhiman 03 Apr '15

03 Apr '15

Hello all So I am not sure what's gonna happen to my GSoC application. But as this is my last sem(probably last chance to learn), I guess I can start doing some work anyways. May be 1 to 2 hours per weekday and 3-4 during the weekends. Is there some work that someone wants me to do? I am new to this. So I actually have no idea how to ask/start. But I am happy to be involved. Sorry if it is considered as spam. I am ready to learn and make mistakes. Thanks Vivek

[VS++ 2015 CTP 6] [build] Workaround for Visual Studio 2015 CTP 6 Preview breaking Boost.Build
by Beman Dawes 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

If you have previously been running Boost.Build on toolset=msvc-14.0 (Visual Studio 2015 Preview), installing CTP 6 causes some bjam/b2 builds to fail because of missing include files. What's happening is that Boost.Build caches several files in C:\Users\<name>\AppData\Local\Temp. For my installation these files are: b2_msvc_14.0_vcvarsall_x86.cmd b2_msvc_14.0_vcvarsall_x86_amd64.cmd b2_msvc_14.0_vcvarsall_x86_arm.cmd but the introduction of the new universal runtime stuff in CTP 6 added some additional paths to vcvarsall, so the cached files are no longer correct. The workaround is to simply delete the b2_msvc_14.0_vcvarsall* temporary files. The next time bjam/b2 is run correct versions of the files will be regenerated. --Beman

[rational] Can the community maintenance team and/or rational users please review some pull requests?
by John Maddock 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

I have a bunch of PR's against Rational, which of course is basically unmaintained. I'd be grateful if a second pair of eyes (at least) could take a look before I start agitating for someone to merge them ;) Each of the four, builds on the previous one(s). Three are basically trivial: https://github.com/boostorg/rational/pull/1/files https://github.com/boostorg/rational/pull/2/files https://github.com/boostorg/rational/pull/3/files The final one is much more complex, and disables "accidental" conversion from float to rational (which otherwise proceeds via truncation to integer first). As you can see from the commit history, I've had quite a few attempts at getting the final one correct. I believe it is now, doesn't break anything in Boost except, as noted in the discussion, Boost.Geometry, which relies on an unsafe float to rational conversion - Geometry's authors are aware of the issue here: https://github.com/boostorg/geometry/commit/c992eb61e8ef9e90fdae403ac6ff1ee…. So.... I'm interested in both eyeball-look-throughs from seasoned Boosters, but also feedback from Rational's users, and verification that it doesn't break end user code - other than unsafe conversions of course. If you just want the updated header to test, you can grab it from here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jzmaddock/rational/no-float-convert/inclu… Many thanks! John.

MPL and MPL core
by Edward Diener 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

Were the changes to MPL splitting it between a core and the rest of MPL supposed to be part of the upcoming release ? Because looking at MPL the 'master' branch is at the previous 1.57 release and there have been quite a number of changes to the 'develop' branch since then, much of it relating to the mpl/core split. The 'develop' regression tests for MPL look pretty green. I would like to get bruno Dutra's fix for MPL arity into the coming release as it has been thoroughly tested on 'develop', but I do not know whether or not all the other MPL 'develop' changes should go in 'master' although I suspect not.

questions regarding GCC visibility
by Robert Ramey 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

I made a few changes to simplify code in the serialization library. This entailed eliminating support for borland compilers, workarounds for compilers which fail to support partial specialization of template function and some general clean up. In the course of this effort, I had occasion to simplify the code which supports Auto linking - and by extension visibility. Things seemed to go pretty well. Feeling frisky, I added the switch -fvisibility=hidden to the gcc compile of library. Now applications won't link for lack of certain symbols. Well, they link and run fin on my machine here at home- but fail in the test matrix. http://www.boost.org/development/tests/develop/developer/output/Debian-Sid-… Funny thing is: doesn't seem to be a problem on my machine doesn't seem to occur with all exported symbols - only select ones - often but not always desctructors I can switch Jamfile back so it doesn't specify -fvisibility=hidden, but it seems that I'm really close to being able to generate a smaller, cleaner DLL which I would prefer to do. Any constructive suggestions would be appreciated. On a related note, it seems to me that http://www.boost.org/development/separate_compilation.html should be updated to explain BOOST_SYMBOL_EXPORT and BOOST_SYMBOL_IMPORT which are convenient for simplifying the auto-linking and visibility functionality.
