Does boost help in creating generic function wrappers?
by Andy Venikov 16 Jul '10

16 Jul '10

In c++0x, creating a generic function wrapper is a bliss: template <typename Func> class gen_wrapper { Func && func_; public: gen_wrapper(Func && in) : func_(in) {} template <typename ... Prms> /*deduce result here */ operator() (Prms && ... prms) { //Do something special here. //NOTE: we can operate with arguments here too return func_(std::forward<Prms>(prms)...); } }; That's it. But if I don't have C++0x, can boost help here? functional/forward_adapter won't work since it hides function parameters, it only lets you operate with the function. It looks like it may be possible to do that by using boost/preprocessor I'll have to generate a whole lot of overloads with O(2^N) (because of the overload on (T &) or (T const &) for every argument). But it looks pretty dounting. It's basically what forward_adapter had to do. Isn't there a ready-made library that would allow me to generate all of the overloads? Thanks, Andy.

What is the status of adding a logging library to Boost? I was looking at Boost.Log and Pantheios. I would like to not have to had another library to depend on.

[gsoc] Pointer Plus Bits Behavior and Interface
by Brian Bartman 16 Jul '10

16 Jul '10

Hello, Pointer Plus Bits: Is a data structure which points to specifically aligned object such that the value of the address is divisible by a power of two (the power of two which it is divisible by is given as a template argument). The empty bits of the pointer are then used to store extra boolean values relating to something (This is of the programmers choosing but it would seem best practice to make it related to the object being pointed at). The technique is of storing extra bits inside of pointers is some times referred to as bit stuffing. Clang uses this technique for their QualType pointer: http://clang.llvm.org/doxygen/classclang_1_1QualType.html So here are some of the questions I would like to pose to the community about the behavior and interface of the pointer_plus_bits data structure: 1) Should the pointer_plus_bits have a pre and post increment and decrement ( what about supporting other arithmetic operations such as add, minus, add assign etc...) ? One could do this if the sizeof the type is evenly divisible by 2 to the number of bits being "stuffed". The next/previous object in the array being traversed could be correctly pointed at (assuming that the item being pointed at IS an array). 1.a) If this is a behavior supported by the pointer_plus_bits should it keep the bits being stuffed or set them to zero each time? 2) Should the bits being stuffed apply during comparison? 3) Should the pointer provide compatibility between itself and pointer of the same type that is being stuffed (the behavior of this would mean masking out the pointer so the stuffed bits won't apply during the comparison)? (ie Should pointer_plus_bits<T,2> be comparable to T* ?) (in pointer_plus_bits 2 is the number of bits being stuffed). -- thanks, Brian Bartman

bjam move in svn
by Vladimir Prus 15 Jul '10

15 Jul '10

I've just moved tools/jam into tools/build/v2/engine. This is a technical step towards unified packaging and release management of what is essentially a single tool, not two independent things. There are not other changes for now, but given that many folks might have tools/jam written in some scripts, I though I'd mention this. The change is on trunk only, so should not affect testing. Anyway, let me know if something breaks. Thanks, -- Vladimir Prus http://vladimir_prus.blogspot.com Boost.Build: http://boost.org/boost-build2

[lists] how to add a new boost mailing list?
by Eric Niebler 15 Jul '10

15 Jul '10

I'd like to set up proto(a)lists.boost.org for use by myself and a few other folks interested in discussing Proto and DSEL design issues. I could just use Google Groups (the Spirit lists use lists.SF.net, I see), but lists.boost.org would be better IMO. Does anybody know how to do this? -- Eric Niebler BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
