regression results for the release?
by David Abrahams 21 May '08

http://www.boost.org/development/testing.html quoth: Will all Boost libraries work with your compiler? Unfortunately, the answer is "it depends". See the regression testing results to see exactly what works and what doesn't. But when I "see the regression testing results," all I see are results for the trunk and the release branch. If I'm an ordinary user, I'm using the 1.35.0 _release_. Do those libraries work with my compiler? -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

[thread] lock factory functions?
by Frank Mori Hess 20 May '08

20 May '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm curious if lock factory functions have been considered? Combined with the C++0x "auto" keyword (or some other kind of type erasure if you wanted to emulate), it seems like they could allow you to avoid having to specify the template type of locks explicitly. Like: template<typename M> boost::unique_lock<M> make_unique_lock(M &mutex); boost::mutex m; auto lock = make_unique_lock(m); -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFIMy3V5vihyNWuA4URAgznAJ9ofZV/KfI0bit9QS6ek5DigfzvjgCgwoyE Y7GuiYLbTDRr+/AdM5JQMQk= =BaOW -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

proposal: interval containers
by Joachim Faulhaber 20 May '08

20 May '08

Dear boost developers, I would like to contribute some library code that covers the field of interval containers, specifically interval_set and interval_map. My design of interval sets is based on the fact that an interval<T> is a set<T>, which implies that a set<T> t can be represented as a set<interval<T>> s, where t is the union over all intervals contained in s. The implementation of a set<T> as a set<interval<T>> can be beneficial whenever in a given problem domain the elements of sets appear in contiguous chunks: intervals. This is obviously the case in many problem domains, namely in fields that deal with problems related to date and time. The benefits of interval sets and maps are 1. The implementation of sets/maps via interval_set/map is very space and also time efficient. 2. All problems concerning overlaps of intervals and their handling can be encapsulated in the implementation and thus ... 3. A higher abstraction level dealing with interval and specifically time interval related problems can be obtained. I wrote a library that provides generic classes for interval_sets and interval_maps and a few more things called "Interval Template Library (itl)". I'd like to give a very brief description of the library in this post. For more detailed information and the current source code you might want to download the itl from http://sourceforge.net/projects/itl. The code contained in the library was originally developed at Cortex Software GmbH Berlin (Clinic Information Systems), where interval containers already proved to be very useful for quite some years in almost all of our applications. In 2006 Cortex Software GmbH allowed the code to be released as open source and I provided a preliminary version at sourceforge. Meanwhile I have refactored the code to enhance it's fitness for generic designs, portable usage and a possible integration in the boost libraries. Since I have not (yet;) found the functionality of the 'itl' in the boost libraries nor a discussion about the rejection of such topics in the boost archives I would like to offer parts of the library here. interval_set: itl::interval_set implements all functionality of std::set as a set of intervals and in addition +=, -= and *= for set union, difference and intersection. On insertion of neighbouring or overlapping intervals inserted intervals are joined. split_interval_set: split_interval_set works like interval_set but borders of the inserted intervals are preserved, so it can be used as time grid. Using itl::split_interval_set you can partition other interval containers using the *= operator to perform intersections. split_interval_map: A split_interval_map implements a map as a map of intervals and associated values. For dealing with the insertion of overlapping intervals the principle of "aggregation on overlap" has proved to be very useful: It is shown by example: typedef set<string> guests; split_interval_map<time, guests> party; guests mary; mary.insert("Mary"); guests harry; harry.insert("Harry"); party.insert(make_pair(rightopen_interval(20:00, 22:00), mary)); party.insert(make_pair(rightopen_interval(21:00, 23:00), harry)); // party now contains [20:00, 21:00)->{"Mary"} [21:00, 22:00)->{"Harry","Mary"} //guest sets aggregated on overlap [22:00, 23:00)->{"Harry"} As can be seen from the example a split_interval_map has both a decompositional behavior (on the time dimension) as well as a accumulative one (on the associated values). Quality, validation, portability: The library code of the itl has been validated with a law based test automaton (LaBatea;) which is included in the current release. It includes a testcase generator and law tester that checks laws like e.g. commutativity<interval_set<double>, +=>: the commutativity of interval_set<double> w.r.t. the operation +=. The code has been compiled and tested with three compilers (gcc 3.4.4, conceptgcc-boostcon, msvc 8.0 sp1) and with three implementations of the stl (linux/gnu, stlport, msvc8) under suse linux 10.1. and ms-windows xp. I'd be happy if you found interval conainers as presented in this post an interesting contribution to look at. If so, I am looking forward to an inspiring discussion. Best regards Joachim Faulhaber

constrained_value: 1 more question
by Neal Becker 20 May '08

20 May '08

Is it really intentional that the error handling of constrained & operator = (const value_type & v) uses BOOST_ASSERT(_check_value()); But in void _initialize() it uses throw_exception<>()(_value, _value, _constraint());

constrained_value redundant check?
by Neal Becker 20 May '08

20 May '08

constrained & operator = (const value_type & v) { if(constraint()(v)) _value = v; else error_handler()(_value, v, _constraint()); BOOST_ASSERT(_check_value()); << Isn't this redundant? return *this; } Maybe this should be: constrained & operator = (const value_type & v) { if(constraint()(v)) _value = v; else { error_handler()(_value, v, _constraint()); BOOST_ASSERT(_check_value()); } return *this; }

setting rpath in boost libraries
by brook＠biology.nmsu.edu 20 May '08

20 May '08

I am trying to compile (using bjam) boost 1.35.0 on a Unix box with gcc and have discovered that the wave library depends on some others but the build process doesn't set the rpath in the wave shared library. Is there some magic that can be used to cause bjam to have the linker set the rpath within the library? Thanks for your hlep. Cheers, Brook

[boostcon] website failures
by Jonathan Franklin 20 May '08

20 May '08

I attended boostcon this year, and would like to download the slides from the wiki. However, the wiki tells me that I "do not have permission to view this page". I try logging in from the Photos section (because that is the only page I can find w/ a login link), but after supplying my username and password, I get "Page Not Found". I tried to email the webmaster address provided by the wiki, but got a response that delivery to webmaster(a)boostcon.com failed permanently: Help! Thanks, Jon

Egg review result
by dan marsden 20 May '08

20 May '08

This is a summary of the review of the Egg library by Shunsuke Sogame. The main issue with this review was the low number of reviews submitted, despite a reasonable amount of discussion on the list. In total only 1 review was received, from Giovanni Piero Deretta. This review was a yes vote, contingent on a mini review of improved documentation. Given this extremely low review count, unfortunately Egg cannot be accepted into Boost at this time. The remainder of this summary will cover some of the themes relating to lack of reviews, and also other highlights of the review. I'll start with some positive notes. Several comments on the list suggested that functionality in Egg was wanted by users, and that they would like to see Egg in Boost in some form in the future. Several writers also pointed out the high quality of the implementation of Egg, and technical issues were not really a focus of the discussions. During discussions on the developer several reviewers comments on the quality / style of the documentation for Egg. Motivation seemed to be a big issue in these comments, questions of the form "why should I use Egg versus Boost.XXX" were common. There typically were good reasons to use Egg, but these were not apparent to readers of the documentation. A related issue that cropped up was the sheer scale of Egg, one potential review was withdrawn as the scale of Egg was so large that the reviewer felt he could not do it justice. A couple of reviews pointed out that the documentation could be hard to follow, sometimes as the assumed expertise of the readers was possibly too high, and also for other reasons, such as the __ prefixed notation used in a lot of the documentation. Both Giovanni and Daniel Walker generously offered to provide assistance with the documentation for Egg. Joel de Guzman pointed out that that the timing of the review was poor, as it was in the immediate run up to Boostcon, and many potential reviewers would be busy with preparation for that event. This comment was supported by several people I discussed this with at Boostcon. There was much incredibly detailed technical discussion, which I cannot do justice to here. Those interested will be able to find the discussion on the mailing list archives. In summary I believe key points of the review were: * The number of reviews was insufficient to accept the library in its current form. This seemed to be due to documentation issues making reviews difficult, and the poor timing of the review before Boostcon. * The library was of high technical quality, and the functionality was needed by Boost users in some form. * Documentation issues would definitely need to be addressed before the library could be satisfactorily reviewed and accepted into Boost. I'd like to thank Shunsuke Sogame for submitting the library, and the hard work that he has put in so far. I'd like to encourage him to continue his efforts, and to take up the offers of assistance with documentation if he feels it appropriate. I personally would like to see many parts of Egg in Boost in some form in the future, and other reviewers seemed to agree. I would also like to thank the reviewer, and the many people that contributed discussion on the list, hopefully this will lead to an improved Egg returning in future.
