Interest check: container with preallocated buffer
by Dmitry Vinogradov 01 Jun '09

01 Jun '09

Boost.Array offers constant size container with preallocated buffer, Boost.Optional provides from zero to one element. There are no STL container with preallocated buffer and it seems custom allocator does not help to do this with existing containers. Does any container exist to offer functionality like Boost.Array but allowing to store from 0 to N elements? Is there any interest in such container? PS. It's similar to fixed_string but as a generic container. -- Dmitry

https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/315 Is there any objection in term of concept to give tokenizer this kin dof random access operator ?

[thread] #2739 shouldn't at_thread_exit work on the main thread?
by vicente.botet 01 Jun '09

01 Jun '09

Hi, Anthony, I have submitted a patch that makes a regression on the test test_tss. My patch was related to add a atexit call for the main thread when make_external_thread_data is called, but it adds also for the thread created with native threads. So the patch don't work. Is there a way to make a difference between the main thread and the others? BTW the test fails on cygwin gcc 3.6.4, could someone test it on Windows or Linux to see if this is specific to cygwin? Thanks, _____________________ Vicente Juan Botet Escribá

Tickets with patches & mpl::switch_
by Joel Falcou 01 Jun '09

01 Jun '09

Here is some ticket that already contains a valid patch and test * mpl::zip doesn't support metafunction use https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/1992 * Various unused args warning removal in ASIO : https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/1341 * Various gcc warning in numeric https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/1338 Other things. I've submitted some MPL::switch_ correction and addition here: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/2249 Now I'm not sure if the fix is what switch was really about after second thoughts. So can soemoen confirm I didn't modified the intended semantic. -- ___________________________________________ Joel Falcou - Assistant Professor PARALL Team - LRI - Universite Paris Sud XI Tel : (+33)1 69 15 66 35

[config] Deprecate/remove BOOST_NO_INITIALIZER_LISTS
by Daniel James 01 Jun '09

01 Jun '09

Hi, Once BOOST_NO_0X_HDR_INITIALIZER_LIST has been added to release, I think we should remove BOOST_NO_INITIALIZER_LISTS. It's confusing having both macros. BOOST_NO_INITIALIZER_LISTS is probably useless as it only indicates compiler support and initializer lists can't really be used without the header. I seem to be the only person who uses it, so it might be okay to just remove it immediately or if not, deprecate it and remove it in the next release. Does that sound okay? Daniel
