1.67 libraries missing autolink/dependency information
by Roger Leigh 26 Mar '18

26 Mar '18

When updating the CMake FindBoost dependencies for 1.67, it was noted that the stacktrace library wasn't being included. Closer examination showed that it doesn't have any autolink information in the headers: grep -R BOOST_LIB_NAME . | grep stacktrace grep -R BOOST_LIB_NAME . | grep contract (for example). Does this library work on Windows? Is it expected that the autolink information is missing, or is this something which needs adding? The same applies to the "contract" library. Do either of these libraries have any other dependencies on other Boost libraries? Thanks, Roger

[gsoc18] Regarding GSOC 2018 proposal for Boost.Geometry
by Vissarion Fisikopoulos 26 Mar '18

26 Mar '18

Hi, I am copying to the list. As written in https://github.com/boostorg/boost/wiki/Boost-Google-Summer-of-Code-2018 a student "takes a C++ programming aptitude test or provides links to at least 1,000 lines (excluding comments and whitespace) non-coursework C++ library (not application nor solution) open source code. Note if following the second route, code should have been open sourced at least three months ago, and show a log of commits improving the library over time." It is not clear in which case you belong. Please share your draft on gsoc page. Best, Vissarion.

[gsoc]Mentor searching for tensors support
by Jiawei Jiang 26 Mar '18

26 Mar '18

Hi community, I'm Jiawei Jiang, a graduate from Uchicago. I'm trying to find a mentor for GSoC(uBLAS, precanned project2). Here's the rough idea of my proposal: I divide the project to 3 parts. First, completion of class structure. As a extension of n-d array structure, basic lookup and modification functions(size, resize, insert, etc.), operator overloadings(+, *, ==...) and iterator interfaces must be implemented. Second, specialization for special tensors. Take 2-order tensors, matrix as an example. Many useful algorithms are implemented specifically to sparse matrix. So it's even worthy to change storing structures for sparse matrix to fit in those operation and algorithms. Similiar cases occur in high-order tensors. Last part is algorithms. Though after completion of iterator inferfaces, we can already call a lot of stl/boost algorithms, some specializations can be a choice. For examle, if we want to calculate the sum of values in n-order tensors, we need call "accumulate" for n times(well, maybe not a big codeload using generic lambdas but still a repetitive work, right?) And of course, other particular algorithms for high-order tensors is a work to complete, such as lowing/rasing index for tensors. My programming competency test: *https://github.com/awesomejiang/matrix <https://github.com/awesomejiang/matrix>* I shared my proposal draft in GSoC website and post a message in boost-uBLAS yesterday and got no response, is it too late to find mentors now? Or someone still has interest in mentoring me? Glad to hear any feedbacks!:) Best regards, Jiawei Jiang

Hi there, This is Shivam Choudhary, a third year undergraduate at Indian Institute of Technology Bombay. I *would like to contribute to Boost.uBLAS library's project - Add statistics and Machine Learning functions*. I have already taken Machine Learning course at my institute and am quite good at implementing these. I would be highly grateful if anyone would mentor me for this project. I have *completed the Competency test and also would like to know to whom it needs to be shared *for scrutiny.

[GSoC 2018][uBLAS] Questions about the proposal guide on GitHub Wiki
by philectron 26 Mar '18

26 Mar '18

Hello, I'm doing my GSoC 2018 proposal for Boost.uBLAS project 1 https://github.com/boostorg/boost/wiki/Boost-Google-Summer-of-Code-2018#pro… The guide suggests implementing some fundamental components like... "many sorts of distributions like histograms, etc." Why do we need to implement those distributions when we've already had all the things we need in <boost/math/distributions>? Here is the documentation page of the <boost/math/distributions> library: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_66_0/libs/math/doc/html/dist.html If I read the documentation and the proposal guide correctly, then we have basically had "many sorts of distributions like histograms, etc." already, haven't we? -- Sent from: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/Boost-Dev-f2600599.html

[gsoc18] Seeking mentor for Boost.uBLAS Statistics and Machine Learning
by Raul Alfonso Sanchez Cayo 26 Mar '18

26 Mar '18

Hi I'm Raul Sanchez Cayo, a student at The University of Guadalajara and I'm looking for a mentor. The Statistics and Machine Learning project on your ideas list got my attention. I just took the subject of Statistics last semester and I found it really interesting, especially when we got into different kinds of distributions and learned how to analyze them. Of course Statistics is not the only reason I want to work with this project. Since last year, I have been training to compete in the ACM-ICPC using C++. Although C++ is not the only programming language I work with, it is by far the first I have gotten to know deeply. I will be submitting a more detailed proposal at Google today, along with my programming competency test and a couple of libraries of my own. Thanks for your time, I look forward to hear from you.

[gsoc18] Becoming a mentor
by Adam Wulkiewicz 25 Mar '18

25 Mar '18

Hi, What's the procedure of becoming a mentor? I couldn't find any info at our Wiki regarding this. Do I understand correctly that I should be able to go to gsoc page and agree to mentor a proposed project? I'm unable to log in. Do I need some sort of invitation? Adam
