Thanks for the tip, I've just run boostdep and results coincide with what there's already on the CML files. Marshall, OK to merge to master? Joaquín M López Muñoz

Maybe you should tag your library on GitHub, so it can be easily found, among the several which "compete" with it. Like those listed at the link below: https://github.com/topics/scope-guard?l=c%2B%2B One in particular (https://github.com/offa/scope-guard) refers to the WG21 paper. PS: Actually, I wonder whether Boost Libraries in general use GH tagging much.

There is a bug in Boost.MultiIndex CMakeLists.txt, although it may not affect the monolithic release tarball. The CMakeLists.txt lists a dependency on Boost::foreach target while no Boost.MultiIndex headers require it. This causes CI failures in Boost.Log[1] because boostdep does not find the dependency from headers and doesn't checkout Boost.ForEach git repository, which makes CMake to fail to resolve the dependency later.

There is a bug in Boost.ASIO that prevents Boost.Log from compiling with gcc 4.4 and clang 3.5. The bug is in BOOST_ASIO_ASSUME definition: https://github.com/boostorg/asio/blob/boost-1.82.0.beta1/include/boost/asio… 1. gcc 4.4 does not support __builtin_unreachable, which makes the __GNUC__ branch definition to fail. 2. clang 3.5 doesn't support __builtin_assume and uses the last fallback option. There, BOOST_ASIO_ASSUME is defined without arguments, meaning it expands to incorrect code like `(void)0(base != 0)`. GitHub is dead for me ATM, so I can't create a PR.

Add toolset=msvc-143 (Visual Studio 2022) to B2 user manual

I was looking up the syntax to add MSVS 2022 to my library build script and the online manual lacks it: <https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_81_0/tools/build/doc/html/index.html#bbv2.…> I don't know where the repo is for this page or I'd file an issue. Perhaps include the repo link at the top or bottom of the page or in an HTML comment?

Re: [boost] [scope] Proposing Boost.Scope
by Klemens Morgenstern 27 Mar '23

I've written my own replacement and am very much in favor of the scope-utilities. Have you thought about if this can be made to work with system::error_code or even system::result? E.g. make_scope_fail <https://lastique.github.io/scope/libs/scope/doc/html/boost/scope/make_scope…>(ec, handle) // checks ec in order to decide if it failed The unique_resource seems very specific for file descriptors to me, because almost everything else can be put into a unique_ptr (e.g. FILE or HANDLE). Why wouldn't I just use a scope_final for those? .
