http://www.boost.org/more/mailing_lists.htm Boost.Spirit lists Spirit has two additional mailing lists. Spirit-general for Spirit users and Spirit-devel for Spirit developers (open to anyone who wishes to hang out with Spirit coders). Both have GMane NNTP access (Spirit-general and Spirit-devel) with searchable archives ( Spirit-general and Spirit-devel). ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Both the searchable archives point to gmane.comp.parsers.spirit.devel Incidentally, when I go to the first 'Spirit-general' link: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spirit-general and click on To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the Spirit-general Archives.

Re: [boost] [Function] Implemented operator== and operator!=
by Peter Dimov 30 Jan '04

Douglas Gregor wrote: >> On the main branch, I've implemented operator== and operator!= for >> Boost.Function (but not in the form you expect). I am getting a C4800 warning from MSVC 7.1 ('int' forced to true/false) in function_template.hpp:299: bool equal = BOOST_FUNCTION_COMPARE_TYPE_ID(typeid(Functor), *type); return (equal? functor_ptr : make_any_pointer(reinterpret_cast<void*>(0))); That's because type_info::operator= returns an int (for ABI reasons, I presume.) This is a regression. The fix is trivial: return BOOST_FUNCTION_COMPARE_TYPE_ID(typeid(Functor), *type)? functor_ptr: make_any_pointer(reinterpret_cast<void*>(0)); The definition of BOOST_FUNCTION_COMPARE_TYPE_ID is: # define BOOST_FUNCTION_COMPARE_TYPE_ID(X,Y) (X==Y) It should be: # define BOOST_FUNCTION_COMPARE_TYPE_ID(X,Y) ((X) == (Y)) Also, I'm not really sure whether we should pre-emptively "fix" type_info::operator= like this. Bugfixes should be in response to actual bug reports.

Daniel, I got your email about the move policy and I replied to it.

Line ending woes
by Beman Dawes 30 Jan '04

30 Jan '04

Here is some fresh information: * The reason the inspection program wasn't detecting more line ending problems was a really stupid bug by me - the files were not being read in binary mode. That made it look like the program was working, because it worked on a corner case which happened to be the case tested during development. Not only that, but html files weren't in the list of extensions being checked. Anyhow, both problems have been fixed in CVS. * Running the corrected inspect program shows 148 files with invalid line endings, in both the current CVS RC_1_31_0 branch and the release candidate. * Here are the RC2 counts by library: build 16 date_time 2 dynamic_bitset 1 graph 4 inspect 1 integer 2 math 7 mpl 1 python 1 spirit 113 * The current CVS head has 190 invalid line endings, with all of the increase coming in Spirit. That's worrisome; does it mean that some Spirit files are missing from the RC_1_31_0 branch? I'm not too worried about the scattered bad line ends in other libraries, but I'm definitely worried about Spirit. Before Joel or anyone makes wholesale fixes, I'd like to see one file fixed and checked. I'm also concerned that because we aren't 100% sure exactly what happened, it will bite us again. --Beman

I am knowledgeable in makefiles, but this leads to a problem: you need to configure the makefile to handle all the various compiler and platform combinations - something bjam already handles, so why duplicate this effort? Is there a bjam file for bjam?! That way it could be bootstrapped. But then why not just download a pre-built version of bjam?

It is easy enough to do this - for example see ACE's Reactor Notify for details. If you care about other threads you need the notify interface to force a wake-up when a new timeout needs to be calculated, otherwise just calculating the timeout parameter from the head of the timer queue before blocking is enough. > > > Some process abstractions might be straight forward for > "kill" signals > > and the windows equivalent. > > Signal handling abstraction is probably best done by a separate > library.

It may not be all that mythical - I'm sure there was some discussion and patches on lkml some time back suggesting that it is possible to extend epoll to work with futexes. On the opposite side of the coin, Linux 2.6 has extended aio in the kernel that should make aio a pretty reasonable option for that platform and at least tries to address most of the negatives mentioned re using aio on Posix platforms. Haven't tried to actually use it yet though! Regards Darryl. ########################################################################## This e-mail is for the use of the intended recipient(s) only.
