Unit Test Framework - strange behaviour of test_unit::depends_on
by Me here 19 Dec '08

19 Dec '08

Hi there, Why the code below does not run test case TC_TestCase and reports that the whole test suite is skipped? Nothing is executed from my code. If the line /*1*/ is commented out, then behaviour is as expected. I use MSVC 2008 SP1 Win32, boost 1.36.0 or boost 1.37.0. I have to admit that test_unit::depends_on is not documented. Unit test framework is changed in 1.37.0 but changes are not documented anywhere. Regards, Alexander ----------- code in question ------ #include <boost/test/included/unit_test.hpp> using boost::unit_test::test_suite; void Dependency() { BOOST_MESSAGE( "Dependency!" ); BOOST_CHECK( 1 ); } void TC_TestCase() { BOOST_MESSAGE( "A test case!" ); BOOST_CHECK( 1 ); } test_suite* init_unit_test_suite( int argc, char* argv[] ) { test_suite* ts = BOOST_TEST_SUITE( "Test_Test" ); ts->add( BOOST_TEST_CASE( &TC_TestCase ) ); /*1*/ ts->depends_on( BOOST_TEST_CASE( &Dependency ) ); return ts; } -------- end code in question ------ ------------ output ----------- Running 1 test case... Entering test suite "Master Test Suite" Test suite "Test_Test"is skipped Leaving test suite "Master Test Suite" *** No errors detected ---------- end output -----------

[release][website] updating info
by JOAQUIN M. LOPEZ MUÑOZ 18 Dec '08

18 Dec '08

I've just added a new library (flyweight) to the release branch and I have a couple of questions regarding the associated update of website material: Where can I find the Version 1.38.0 news entry to add the blurb for the new lib? Is it my responsability (as the author of the new lib) to update public_html/beta/doc/libraries.xml, or public_html/live/doc/libraries.xml, both or none? Thank you, Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

building boost (regex) in mingw
by Lorenzo Bettini 18 Dec '08

18 Dec '08

Hi I'm trying to install boost regex library under mingw but I can't seem to succeed... the simple configure way does not work I've also tried bjam --build-dir=./tmp --toolset=gcc stage --with-regex but this does not create .a .so files, but only .lib files that I cannot use with mingw compiler... any help please? thanks in advance Lorenzo

[interprocess] Suspicious code in detail/segment_manager_helper.hpp
by Markus Schöpflin 18 Dec '08

18 Dec '08

Hello, this file contains at line 384 the following method of index_data: void *value() const { return static_cast<void>(detail::get_pointer(m_ptr)); } Either the declaration of the return value or the cast seems to be wrong. Markus

Re: [boost] [utility/swap] Internal compiler error Siliconmanborland-6.10.0 (CodeGear?)

I've been searching through qc.codegear.com before, but I hadn't found it. I guess I just chose the wrong keyword to search for, e.g., "template", and "Fatal F1004". BTW, I decided to submit the report myself, because I don't have access to borland-6.10.0. As far as I know, it isn't available for free. (I do have the free Turbo C++ 2006 Explorer installed, though.) If I had access to borland-6.10.0, I would have tried to make a smaller test program to reproduce the internal compiler error. Because I wonder if it is specific to the current implementation of the boost::swap utility... Please let me know if you have any suggestion for boost::swap (or its specialized_in_std.cpp test) to work around the compiler error. Kind regards, Niels PS Your replies don't appear on the mail archives: http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2008/11/index.php http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/182214 Is that intentional?

[detail/lightweight_mutex] Win32 threading selection in boost/detail/lightweight_mutex.hpp
by joaquin＠tid.es 18 Dec '08

18 Dec '08

Hello, This is a followup of a discussion we had some time ago: http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2007/09/127115.php Lines 31-40 of boost/detail/lightweight_mutex.hpp read like this: #if !defined(BOOST_HAS_THREADS) # include <boost/detail/lwm_nop.hpp> #elif defined(BOOST_HAS_PTHREADS) # include <boost/detail/lwm_pthreads.hpp> #elif defined(WIN32) || defined(_WIN32) || defined(__WIN32__) # include <boost/detail/lwm_win32_cs.hpp> #else // Use #define BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS to avoid the error # error Unrecognized threading platform #endif I think the conditions for selecting boost/detail/lwm_win32_cs.hpp are suboptimal because they're ruling out the case where the user's disabled Pthreads in cygwin/mingw by explicitly defining BOOST_HAS_WINTHREADS, a case covered by boost/config/platform/cygwin.hpp: in such a situation, Win32 threading is available but none of WIN32 and similar are defined by default (unless <windows.h> has been previously included, which makes boost/detail/lightweight_mutex.hpp context dependent). Wouldn't it be better to change the selection code to the following? #elif defined(BOOST_HAS_WINTHREADS) # include <boost/detail/lwm_win32_cs.hpp> #else Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

[serialization] serializing std::string*
by Zach Laine 17 Dec '08

17 Dec '08

It appears that std::string* is not serializable. I have need to serialize them, and I'm considering adding the old, unused code in boost/serialization/string.hpp (the stuff #if 0-ed out and marked with "left over from a previous incarnation - strings are now always primitive types") to serialize std::string*'s. I have 2 questions before doing so. 1) What is the rationale for making std::string a primitive, track_never type? After an extensive rereading of the docs, I'm left with only a hazy understanding of what the implications are for primitive vs. non-primitive status. 2) Can Robert (or anyone else) give me a sense for how likely I am to get myself into trouble doing this? If it matters, I don't need to be able to read old archives containing std::string's. Thanks, Zach Laine
