Hi ! Please find a patch for boost/test/detail/config.hpp attached which bumps the msvc version for BOOST_WORKAROUND to 1500 (msvc-9.0) Okay to commit (or should I use == 1500 ?) I'm not quite sure _how_ those workaorund macros work... Yours, Jürgen -- * Dipl.-Math. Jürgen Hunold ! Ingenieurgesellschaft für * voice: ++49 511 262926 57 !

[CodeGear] Looking for volunteers
by Nicola Musatti 20 Sep '08

20 Sep '08

Hallo, As I mentioned in a previous post I'm in the process of submitting patches for the official inclusion in Boost of the fixes contained in the custom 1.35 distribution that currently ships with CodeGear's C++ Builder 2009. However some of these fixes do not adhere to Boost standards and need some rework before they are accepted. This is a task for which I could do with some help! Specifically I'd be very grateful if someone could take the patch I posted here: http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/2346 and modify it to comply with the requests placed by John Maddock in his comment. Thank you in advance! Cheers, Nicola -- Nicola.Musatti <at> gmail <dot> com Home: http://nicola.musatti.googlepages.com/home Blog: http://wthwdik.wordpress.com/

Revision id in files.
by Robert Jones 20 Sep '08

20 Sep '08

Despite using Boost for a little while I've only just noticed that many, (perhaps most or all) Boost files do not contain the Subversion release id. This seems less than ideal, but I can't imagine it is not a considered decision. So why is it this way? - Rob.

[interprocess] difference in timed_wait behavior under linux and windows
by Sergei Politov 20 Sep '08

20 Sep '08

Hello, I have the following issue, when I'm calling interprocess_condition.timed_wait with time equals to boost::posix_time::pos_infin it has different behavior under linux and under windows. Under windows it is similar to interprocess_condition.wait, but under linux it fails with assertion here: file boost\interprocess\sync\posix\interprocess_condition.hpp: inline bool interprocess_condition::do_timed_wait (const boost::posix_time::ptime &abs_time, interprocess_mutex &mut) { timespec ts = detail::ptime_to_timespec(abs_time); pthread_mutex_t* pmutex = &mut.m_mut; int res = 0; res = pthread_cond_timedwait(&m_condition, pmutex, &ts); assert(res == 0 || res == ETIMEDOUT); return res != ETIMEDOUT; } I don't know which behavior is better, but I suggest it should be the same for both OSes. Best Regards, Sergei

Hi, I've ported console_test_runner on *nix platforms. It now should work identically both on NT and *nix. I've added Jamfile as well. Please report any issues with it on this list. Gennadiy

Revision history limit?
by Robert Jones 19 Sep '08

19 Sep '08

How far back does the revision history go? I want to examine changes between 1.33.1 and current, but the revision tracker doesn't seem to find the changes I'm looking for. Thanks - Rob.

Re: [boost] Answers re BENUM library for automated enum streaming
by Tony D 19 Sep '08

19 Sep '08

Hi all, Should I expect any further feedback re BENUM? David, Marcus: we've discussed specific issues (portability of variadic macros, smart_enum features) - do you have further questions, comments re my replies, or recommended actions before submission for formal review? Should I be doing more to pursue suggestions or solicit feedback? Is anyone else currently reviewing the code in the vault, experiment with usage in a real system, or planning to do so? If so, can we keep in touch re progress? If I don't hear anything to the contrary this week, I'll start doing the preparations for requesting a formal review, specifically my TODO list currently looks like: - better (HTML) docs / simpler usage examples, - clean up comment in headers (doxygen style?)/copyrights, - optimise Info_Container value-to-identifier resolution (have resisted early optimisation as design/functional changes might invalidate), - add a few representative container/feature combinations in easier-to-use macros. BTW / I stumbled across an old submission for "boost_enum" - it seems to "go the whole hog" and address some of the bit-masking issues BENUM does (though not as flexibly ;-P). This contrasts with smart_enum's relative simplicity but cleanliness. I love simplicity (I wrote a cut-down version of BENUM for my introspective preprocessor project which only supports incrementing-from-0 enumerations and no bit masking/ORing because I didn't like the idea of all the extra baggage/inefficiencies), but I think people look to boost for reasonably generic and comprehensive solutions. But, boost_enum work seemed to peter out. smart_enum petered out. Both had much more early interest displayed than BENUM. Should I consider the "enum" space a dead end - "abandon all hope ye who enter here"? Am I wasting everyone's time? My theory is that BENUM has greater potential for widespread end-user acceptance and actual use (despite less portability) because of its enum-like notation, and that that makes BENUM worth pursuing. A view I'd welcome comments on. Thanks, Tony

[dataflow] new component: multichain
by Manuel Jung 19 Sep '08

19 Sep '08

Hey Stepjan, I'm developing a new component, a multichain, which should be able to chain different components together. Well the fusion and mpl libraries are somewhat new to me, but here ist my approach. I have some problems: When the MultiChain Component is constructed, nothing seems to get constructed, nor connected. Not even the constructors are being called? I really don't have insight, how you relay the signals to chain and from the cahin to the next component. I just copied it from chain.hpp. So i can not connect my multichain at the moment. Please see the example attached. Kind Regards Manuel
