That's the way it is now. That's why there are so many (too many) tests. About 20 tests for base services, void_cast, iterators, iteratorbase64, demo, etc. About 35 test for serialization facilities e.g. tracking, exporting, registering, stl::list, stl::vector, etc. These later are built/run for each archive type xml, wide xml, text, wide text and native binary. So this works out to about 20 + 35 * 5 = 190 (actually 209) * 5 compilers about 1000 test run/builds. Robert Ramey

My concern was to address the issue raised by those such as yourself who felt that the javescript should be removed to be sure that its will work in all browsers. I feel this addresses that concern but still permits browsers on which the scripting has been test to use the collapse/expand functionality. What I have now is special case for IE and Netscape and no javascript for all other browsers. As far as I can tell, this should work for all browsers that support frames. If you've verified that Konqueror works well with the javascript then add it to the list in the javascript code. Then we can still have what we want and still maintain guaranteed compatibility on all browsers. Robert Ramey

Yep, _WIN32 is enough from the hard-wired switches to be sure about the Win32 platform, at least for what have done all the time. I forgot Watcom, which defines _WIN32 __WINDOWS_386__ :-) but they have still a long way to compile boost.org... > > The macro WIN32 is meant to be a user-definable option how > to enforce > > a WIN32 code if a compiler does not define _WIN32. > > Ok. When is it needed, BTW? Well, you have caught me. Actually, I did not need to use it yet. I have it in my configuration just to be flexible waiting for such code or compiler... AFAIK, MSVS from some interesting reasons keeps to generate new wizards-made projects and makefiles with the macro WIN32, dunno why. They may have some old sources with both #ifdef _WIN32 #endif and #ifdef WIN32 #endif and it does not pay off to them to correct it, I do not know. I use -DWIN32 as well in my makefiles and PLATFORM_WIN32 = _WIN32 || WIN32 in headers even if _WIN32 alone should be always enough. > > And if you like, it is possible to do something like this > to be complete: > > > > BOOST_WIN32 : _WIN32 || WIN32 > > BOOST_WIN64 : _WIN64| WIN64 > > BOOST_WINDOWS : BOOST_WIN32 || BOOST_WIN64 > > Yea, I think this makes sense.

It will start shortly, as soon as someone with a fresh new x86-64 from AMD starts to play with the boost::filesystem :-) Today one should be careful with BOOST_WINDOWS and check the 64-bit compatibility, if the macro will mark general Windows platform.

Perhaps we could call it lexical_auto_cast. It could be more efficient to store a string instead, but I'm not sure.

[1.32 release] Branch for release postponed -- Plea for help
by Aleksey Gurtovoy 16 Jul '04

16 Jul '04

Branch for release scheduled for today, July 16, will NOT be performed. The two main showstoppers are an unsatisfactory state of the main trunk (http://tinyurl.com/25ar3) and a further delayed MPL check-in. It's going to take at least a couple more days for me to deal with the latter, and it would be really appreciated if during that time somebody would volunteer to work on clearing up the regression picture; the more volunteers, the better! Many library maintainers are already doing a good job at it, but the previous experience shows that whole thing can be made significantly more efficient if people who have local access to particular compilers failing on particular libraries [of their interest] took a look at those failures and reported back the results of their finding/posted patches/ checked in fixes. If each of us with a little bit of familiarity with the codebase/free time on their hands would take care of only a single failure, it would already make an enormous difference. Needless to say, everyone who contributes to this is going to be acknowledged when the release is out. (And a warm "thank you" to everybody who is already investing their time and energy into this!) -- Aleksey Gurtovoy MetaCommunications Engineering

Hi Volodya, > From: boost-bounces(a)lists.boost.org > [mailto:boost-bounces@lists.boost.org] On Behalf Of Vladimir Prus > [snip] > Does it mean I have to use the same conditional? Which > compilers define __WIN32__ or WIN32, but don't define _WIN32? > Shouldn't there be a single BOOST_WINDOWS macros to help in > this cases? The macro _WIN32 was originally hard-coded into the Microsoft compiler to recognize the platform. The other vendors took it the same way, but maybe because of rapid development in the early ages there are more underscored versions available... Here we are macros *32*, as they are defined: Borland: __WIN32__ _WIN32 Digital Mars: _WIN32 GCC (MinG/W and Cygwin with -mno-cygwin): __MINGW32__ WIN32 _WIN32 __WIN32 __WIN32__ Metrowerks: _WIN32 Microsoft: _WIN32 The macro WIN32 is meant to be a user-definable option how to enforce a WIN32 code if a compiler does not define _WIN32. Cygwin platform in POSIX mode is not a WIN32-compatible platform (no headers, no libraries), and thus their macros should mark a POSIX code, not Windows: GCC (Cygwin in POSIX mode): __CYGWIN__ __CYGWIN32__ > FWIW, filesystem defines such macro internally: > > # if !defined( BOOST_WINDOWS ) && !defined( BOOST_POSIX ) > # if defined(_WIN32) || defined(__WIN32__) || defined(WIN32) > || defined(__CYGWIN__) > # define BOOST_WINDOWS > # else > # define BOOST_POSIX > # endif > # endif I like the single BOOST_XXX macro idea for all libraries, I would only delete __CYGWIN__, which defines POSIX compatibility. And if you like, it is possible to do something like this to be complete: BOOST_WIN32 : _WIN32 || WIN32 BOOST_WIN64 : _WIN64| WIN64 BOOST_WINDOWS : BOOST_WIN32 || BOOST_WIN64 Ferda > - Volodya
