ATTN: Merging changes to the release branch
by Aleksey Gurtovoy 31 Oct '04

31 Oct '04

Folks, Can I gently ask everybody to be more careful with integration of changes from the main trunk to the release branch? If you have to do it, please double-check everything (in particular, run the diffs) before committing the merged files. We've already got the new "boost/index.html" contents with *1.33.0* section stub in the release branch, and dealing with more of something like this is not going to help the release. Thanks, -- Aleksey Gurtovoy MetaCommunications Engineering

guidelines on portable 'catch(...)' usage
by Stefan Seefeld 30 Oct '04

30 Oct '04

hi there, I'v recently run into a problem with 'catch(...)' on MSVC 7.1, where a segmentation fault resulted in a 'first-class exception' (!) that was caught by 'catch(...)' even though the stack wasn't unwound. My first reaction was to abandon the use of 'catch(...)' entirely, replacing it with a more specific equivalent (which I believe to be better practice anyways). However, browsing some boost code I now find other people using such catch-all statements, and so I'd like to get your feedback on how to use it portably. Are my findings false concerning MSVC's highjacked use of C++ exceptions for program errors (i.e. POSIX' equivalent of signals) ? Thanks, Stefan

teststreams.cpp and VC8.0
by Victor A. Wagner Jr. 30 Oct '04

30 Oct '04

I got tired of getting the exceptions so I fixed time_formatters.hpp which had a logic error in it. It's possible that the test should now be run on all platforms again. Since I don't know how to alter which tests actually run on which platforms I cannot fix that. Victor A.

reverse_iterator_example binaries cleanup
by Aleksey Gurtovoy 30 Oct '04

30 Oct '04

Martin, Could you please remove "reverse_iterator_example" test binaries ("libs/utility/reverse_iterator_example") for the next regression run? I've moved this and other iterator examples over to "libs/iterator/test", not the least so that the report tools have a chance to correctly report their failures.

[1.32 Release] Some libs missing from doc/src/boost.xml
by Joaquín Mª López Muñoz 30 Oct '04

30 Oct '04

Some new libs (assign, minmax, multi_index, numeric_conversion, range, I think these are all) are not listed in doc/src/boost.xml 1. Should they be there? I don't know for sure what this .xml is supposed to do, and I couldn't find info about it either in the submission guidelines nor in the releasing procedure notes. 2. If so, I'd volunteer to fill the gap, but I'm afraid I'll be out of CVS access during this weekend, so somebody else will have to take up the task.

Several of my recent messages have gone awry (they had multiple recipients). This is a test of a message with but one destination to see if it can get delivered. Victor A. Wagner Jr. http://rudbek.com The five most dangerous words in the English language: "There oughta be a law"
