[iterator] strided, recursive variants
by Jeremy Murphy 28 May '16

28 May '16

Dear Boosters, I was wondering why a strided iterator has not made it into the Boost.Iterator library? There is a strided range in Boost.Range based on a private implementation of such an iterator, and Boost.Compute has their own implementation too. Just an untied loose end? On a related note, what about variants of such iterators that work in recursive algorithms? That is, if you stride a strided iterator, existing implementations will keep nesting the stride type, which the compiler fails to do recursively because there is no stopping criterion. So I wrote a variant of strided iterator that when you stride a strided iterator, it just multiplies the two strides together and takes the base pointer type from the original strided iterator. I assume some of the other iterator adaptors are limited in the same way. Anyway, it's no big deal to me, but I just thought I'd canvas whether that's something people (especially the maintainers) are interested in? Cheers. Jeremy

compiling mysql-5.7.12, cannot use DTRACE
by Mariano Apilado 26 May '16

26 May '16

Hi, I get the following error when compiling mysql-5.7.12 on Nexenta 4.0.4 OS ( Formerly known as Open Solaris / Illumos ). To temporarily bypass this problem, I chose not to use DTRACE with the compiler options. However, it should be fixed to use DTRACE. # cmake -DENABLE_DTRACE=0 Thanks and Regards,Mariano [ 15%] Linking CXX static library libmysys_ssl.a cd /usr/local/mysql-5.7.12/mysys_ssl && /usr/local/bin/cmake -P CMakeFiles/mysys_ssl.dir/cmake_clean_target.cmake cd /usr/local/mysql-5.7.12/mysys_ssl/CMakeFiles/mysys_ssl.dir && /usr/local/bin/cmake -DDTRACE=/usr/sbin/dtrace -DOUTFILE=/usr/local/mysql-5.7.12/mysys_ssl/CMakeFiles/mysys_ssl.dir/mysys_ssl_dtrace.o -DDFILE=/usr/local/mysql-5.7.12/include/probes_mysql.d -DDTRACE_FLAGS=-64 -DDIRS=. -DTYPE=STATIC_LIBRARY -P /usr/local/mysql-5.7.12/cmake/dtrace_prelink.cmake dtrace: failed to link script /usr/local/mysql-5.7.12/include/probes_mysql.d: No probe sites found for declared provider cd /usr/local/mysql-5.7.12/mysys_ssl && /usr/local/bin/cmake -E cmake_link_script CMakeFiles/mysys_ssl.dir/link.txt --verbose=1 /usr/bin/ar qc libmysys_ssl.a CMakeFiles/mysys_ssl.dir/crypt_genhash_impl.cc.o CMakeFiles/mysys_ssl.dir/mf_tempdir.cc.o CMakeFiles/mysys_ssl.dir/my_default.cc.o CMakeFiles/mysys_ssl.dir/my_getopt.cc.o CMakeFiles/mysys_ssl.dir/my_aes.cc.o CMakeFiles/mysys_ssl.dir/my_sha1.cc.o CMakeFiles/mysys_ssl.dir/my_sha2.cc.o CMakeFiles/mysys_ssl.dir/my_md5.cc.o CMakeFiles/mysys_ssl.dir/my_rnd.cc.o CMakeFiles/mysys_ssl.dir/my_murmur3.cc.o CMakeFiles/mysys_ssl.dir/my_aes_yassl.cc.o /usr/bin/ranlib libmysys_ssl.a cd /usr/local/mysql-5.7.12/mysys_ssl && /usr/bin/ar r /usr/local/mysql-5.7.12/mysys_ssl/libmysys_ssl.a /usr/local/mysql-5.7.12/mysys_ssl/CMakeFiles/mysys_ssl.dir/mysys_ssl_dtrace.o ar: cannot open /usr/local/mysql-5.7.12/mysys_ssl/CMakeFiles/mysys_ssl.dir/mysys_ssl_dtrace.o: No such file or directory ar: /usr/local/mysql-5.7.12/mysys_ssl/CMakeFiles/mysys_ssl.dir/mysys_ssl_dtrace.o not found gmake[2]: *** [mysys_ssl/libmysys_ssl.a] Error 1 gmake[2]: *** Deleting file `mysys_ssl/libmysys_ssl.a' gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/mysql-5.7.12' gmake[1]: *** [mysys_ssl/CMakeFiles/mysys_ssl.dir/all] Error 2 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/mysql-5.7.12’ gmake: *** [all] Error 2

[compute] [OS X 10.11.5] [GeForce GT 750M] Segmentation fault
by Prashant 25 May '16

25 May '16

Hi, Am trying to sort a vector on GPU (GeForce GT 750M) using example code which generates SEGV. However, it runs fine on Iris Pro (Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4850HQ CPU). We observe SEGV when size is 10 million. When the size is 5 million, following exception is thrown: boost/1_61_0/include/boost/compute/command_queue.hpp(453): Throw in function boost::compute::event boost::compute::command_queue::enqueue_write_buffer(const boost::compute::buffer &, size_t, size_t, const void *, const boost::compute::wait_list &) Dynamic exception type: boost::exception_detail::clone_impl<boost::exception_detail::error_info_injector< boost::compute::opencl_error> > std::exception::what: Invalid Value Another observation: if the size of vector is 50 million the sorting works fine, though the timings are worse than Iris Pro. Also, when is size is 100 million, the binary causes the OS to crash.

Request for a "Policy Review" regarding 'CMakeLists.txt'
by David Sankel 24 May '16

24 May '16

A question has been brought up regarding whether or not a Boost library author is permitted to include a 'CMakeLists.txt' file in the root of the directory. This stemmed from a discussion at C++Now 2016 which included several members of the Boost Steering Committee and a sampling of the Boost community. We recommend and propose that the Boost Guidelines are modified to allow library authors, at their own discretion, to include a 'CMakeLists.txt' file in their library's top-level directory. * Several libraries, such as Boost.Hana and Boost.Spirit, have two distribution mechanisms: one as distributed with Boost and the other as an independent package. The requirement that these libraries not include a 'CMakeLists.txt' as part of their Boost distribution creates a maintenance burden for authors or otherwise hurts usability of the independent distribution. * Several companies have revealed that they are building Boost with their own custom CMake scripts. The suggested policy change would enable authors to relieve the infrastructure cost of their CMake users and unify how their library is built. * CMake is, by far, the most popular build system for C++. Allowing authors to support CMake users in addition to BJam will help the Boost ecosystem to grow and thrive by lowering the barriers to access. -- David Sankel

Boost.Fit review Mars 3-20 result
by Vicente J. Botet Escriba 24 May '16

24 May '16

Hi, I will be out for two weeks and I wanted to at least give the result of the Boost.Fit library review even if I would need more time to have a complete report. Summary ======= The review of the proposed Boost.Fit library ended on Mars 20, 2016. The verdict is: Conditional acceptance (a new review is needed) There were too much concerns about the documentation and what exactly this library is proposing and not enough reviews commenting the design, code and test for each one of the proposed functions. From the review discussion I deduce that there is some interest in the library, and that some people don't understand yet what the library is proposing. Paul has started already to take in account some if the issues raised during the review and a lot of them must be resolved before we re-try a new review. There were some discussion about the name of the library, but there were no consensus. Paul is free to change the name of his library and see how people react. On behalf of the Boost community, I would like to thank Paul Fultz for the work he has put into the Fit library so far. I encourage him to continue to evolve this library and to bring it back for a new review. We had seven 6 formal votes, and 2 more votes without a complete review abbreviated here: Steaven Watanabe: No in his current state Zach Laine : Conditinal acceptance Krzysztof Jusiak: Accepted Artyom Beilis : Rejected Peter Dimov : Accepted (no review) Manuel Sancher : Accepted (no review) Rob Stewart : Conditinal acceptance ??? Louis Dionne : Conditinal acceptance There were other people that participated on the review giving their advice respect to a specific issue. I thank each of these reviewers, and indeed everyone who invested some time participating in the discussions. If you feel that I have misrepresented your position, or have omitted or garbled an important point, please respond: the archived mail thread should accurately reflect the will of the community, even if this message does not. Detailed Report =============== You will need to wait yet for a month before I will be able to do it. On the mean time there are a lot of issues that must be addressed and that are part of the github issues. For more information see: Github:https://github.com/pfultz2/Fit/tree/boost Issues:https://github.com/pfultz2/Fit/issues Documentation:http://pfultz2.github.io/Fit/doc/html/ Hopping this helps, Vicente Botet Escriba
