[filesystem] Move constructor from string_type
by danny kabrane 03 Nov '16

Hi all, boost::filesystem::path has 2 constructors from a string_type, one with a const reference and another one without const (wich I find troubling), but there's no constructor from a rvalue string_type. Is there something planned to add a move constructor from a string_type ? Regards Danny

[build] Annoying warnings from Asio, -isystem from bjam?
by Vinnie Falco 02 Nov '16

When I have "-Wunused-variable" I get these highly annoying warnings from boost/asio/error.hpp which I'm sure almost everyone has seen: boost_1_60_0/boost/asio/error.hpp:258:45: warning: ‘boost::asio::error::system_category’ defined but not used [-Wunused-variable] static const boost::system::error_category& system_category I don't want to disable the warning but I also don't want the false positives. Thankfully, clang and gcc have this wonderful option "-isystem" which lets you mark include paths as belonging to the system. This prevents warnings from being emitted that the programmer can do nothing about. How can I get Boost.Build to add the Boost library header search paths using "-isystem" so that gcc doesn't report warnings in Boost headers that I cannot do anything about? More detail here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1867065/how-to-suppress-gcc-warnings-fro… I've played around with <sysinclude> but can't seem to figure it out.

Curiousity question
by Edward Diener 01 Nov '16

I would like to ask a design question for any Boost developers or anyone on this mailing list who might care to answer. You are designing or working on a library, perhaps for Boost, perhaps for fun, and part of the design of the library has some public functionality taking a shared pointer as input. You: 1) Use boost::shared_ptr 2) Use std::shared_ptr 3) Use both boost::shared_ptr and std::shared_ptr with the same functionality 4) Use neither, you roll your own shared pointer-like functionality 5) You don't lke shared pointers and use raw pointers instead I really am curious about this. I haven't put any limitation on your library or made any presumption on who your library is for, on purpose. Thanks for anyone answering !
