[gsoc2018]boost.safefloat and boost.real
by Sagar Tewari 19 Mar '18

19 Mar '18

Hi, I'm interested in working on the Boost.SafeFloat or Boost.Real as a gsoc project. Currently I'm in the process of completing the selection criteria(reading the linked matrial, solving competency test) . I've good experience with coding in C++. I went through the safefloat codebase and documentation and it looks quite interesting. But I'm not sure how I'm supposed to submit the competency test solutions. Do I have to include that with the Gsoc proposal? Can someone inform me about that? Also, the Boost.Real project is under the catagory "GSoC Projects which have been prearranged by students with mentors for 2018". Is this project still open for participent submission? -- Sent from: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/Boost-Dev-f2600599.html

[GSoC 2018] A Few Questions about Boost.uBLAS
by philectron 19 Mar '18

19 Mar '18

Hello, I'm interested in working on *Boost.uBLAS* library. *I've fundamentally finished the Programming Competency Test for this project. I'm currently improving it.* I need more information on the following: *1.* Can multiple people who also apply for GSoC work on this same project? *2.* How will I submit my Programming Competency Test? *3.* Has anyone taken this project already? *4.* If 3 = yes, do you allow multiple people working on the same project for GSoC 2018? *5.* If 5 = no, what project should I work on? I have never used or worked with Boost Library before, so I don't know what in Boost Library needs to be improved. What project do you think would be feasible for Thank you! -- Sent from: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/Boost-Dev-f2600599.html

[GSoC 2018] Want to contributed to Boost.SafeFloat
by Recolic Keghart 19 Mar '18

19 Mar '18

Dear boost community, I'm Bensong Liu, a second year undergraduate student. I'm interested in Boost.SafeFloat and willing to contribute to this project. I've finished all of the `Programming competency test` and I'm still working on tests && proposal. Then how could I contact my mentor, and how should I submit my solution to tests(https://recolic.net/res/note-deploy-key-for-gsoc.sh)? Thanks for your guidance. Bensong Liu

[GSoC18] Working on my proposal for the Boost.Real project
by Laouen Belloli 17 Mar '18

17 Mar '18

Hi, I was in contact with Damián Vicino talking about a proposal for the Boost Real project. I posted here <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KwPUioBYy19HM0X9O1e6X6gigOkmzoqZ/view?usp=…> what I got so far, please comment on it if you have some time so I can improve it following your suggestions. I would appreciate very much your opinion as I have no experience writing GSoC proposals. Thanks and Best regards to all, Laouen. -- Laouen Mayal Louan Belloli. LIAA - DC - FCEyN - UBA.

[gsoc18] Mentor Search for Boost.Geometry idea
by Tinko Bartels 16 Mar '18

16 Mar '18

Hi, my name is Tinko Bartels, I'm studying to get a Master's degree in Mathematics at TU Berlin. I'm interested to work on Boost Geometry. I'm working at the university for a couple of years on C++ projects that rely on Boost libraries, most notably Boost.Geometry. Our work involves the computation of exact covers of spaces with boxes. This motivated my idea to add support to void union_(Geometry1 const & geometry1, Geometry2 const & geometry2, Collection & output_collection) void sym_difference(Geometry1 const & geometry1, Geometry2 const & geometry2, Collection & output_collection) void difference(Geometry1 const & geometry1, Geometry2 const & geometry2, Collection & output_collection) for Geometry1=Geometry2=box and Collection is a collection of boxes. Since I have no merged contributions to open source projects to refer to, I could, for example, provide an implementation of the difference method for types adhering to the box concept and a collection of boxes as output_collection. Since the results of those operations in terms of exact covers of the resulting space with boxes are not uniquely defined and the implementation should take less than 3 months, additional strategies for these specializations of the above algorithms could be added as future milestones. If this endeavor is considered worthwhile by potential mentors, I would get started on writing a proposal right away. Kind regards, Tinko Bartels -- Sent from: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/Boost-Dev-f2600599.html

Clang on Windows
by Egor Pugin 16 Mar '18

16 Mar '18

Hi, Based on recent news: Clang 6.0.0 is out with very decent support of the latest MSVC STL (15.6). Chrome is built with clang on Windows. So, maybe it is good time to include clang+windows into list of supported configs, setup a CI worker with clang (clang-cl) on Windows? Currently many boost libs already work fine, but some of them require small tweaks like explicit BOOST_USE_WINDOWS_H etc. -- Egor Pugin
