ARM help needed
by Peter Dimov 15 Apr '08

15 Apr '08

Can someone with access to ARM please run libs/smart_ptr/test/spinlock_test.cpp and/or take a look at boost/detail/spinlock_gcc_arm.hpp? I've verified that it compiles, but can't run it.

I appreciate that Egg is a big library, and it takes a bit of time to review fully. So no need to rush a review, but please do put them in before the end of next week. Currently the review count sadly still sits at zero, so your reviews will be gladly received thanks! Cheers Dan ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

boost.iterator's zip_iterator::value_type should not be reference
by thomas weidner 14 Apr '08

14 Apr '08

Hi, defining zip_iterator::value_type in the boost.iterator library to be the same as the reference type breaks some mutating algorithms on zip_iterators. for example sort (c++0x inside): template<class... Arrays> void array_multisort(Arrays& ... arrays) { using namespace boost; std::sort(make_zip_iterator(make_tuple(arrays.begin()...)), make_zip_iterator(make_tuple(arrays.end()...))); } won't work as expected. Patching zip_iterator to provide a more natural value_type makes the above code work as intended. The patch is attached to this message. mfg thomas

[python] Crazy crash
by Robert Dailey 14 Apr '08

14 Apr '08

Hi, This crash has always occurred, even since 1.34.1. It's now reproducible in 1.35. I use the following command line to build boost in such a way that Boost.Python links against the debug python libraries: bjam --toolset=msvc --layout=system link=shared threading=multi variant=debug python-debugging=on stage Note that Visual Studio 2008 is the only MSVC compiler installed on my system. I'm using Python 2.5.2. Any time I call into a Boost.Python function I get an access violation when writing to location 0x00000000. Note that I have been able to get crashes when calling the initMyInterface() function for BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(MyInterface), I also have gotten this crash when calling into boost::list::insert(). I have no idea what the issue could be. Note that when I built Boost.Python (debug) using the visual studio project before it was removed in 1.35, it worked perfectly. Any help is greatly appreciated since this is a complete blocker issue for me.

Regarding boost.math library
by Anup Mandvariya 14 Apr '08

14 Apr '08

Hi All, I have some queries related with boost.math library as ststed below: a) Is it possible to write many of the functions in the boost.math library (like beta and gamma functions) so that they can be parallelized irrespective of the "way of parallelization"(such as using OpenMP, MPI, etc...) and the "environment" (like multicore or a cluster)? b) What is the possibility of extending boost.math libraries (particularly beta and gamma functions) to generic libraries using generic programming process? -- Regards, Anup Mandvariya +919985330660 "Truth Must Have No Compromise"

Generating a single functor from multiple ones
by Mathias Gaunard 14 Apr '08

14 Apr '08

I would be quite interested in an utility that could generate a single functor with multiple overloads from multiple functors. It could be quite useful for example to visit a variant and all kinds of pattern matching. I tried to implement it, using this [1] as a basis. But then I wanted to add Lambda and ResultOf support, and thus I realized the reflection mechanism could really help to figure out what argument_type should be. Any ideas about how to implement that and make it work with ResultOf and Lambda? [1] http://groups.google.com/group/comp.std.c++/msg/34b98493a8531d58

thoughts on logging library
by Christian Holmquist 14 Apr '08

14 Apr '08

Hi, I saw that the previously proposed logging library went into the review queue again, so I thought of pointing out some remarks prior the actual review. First of all, I think that a boost logging library should come up with one, and one only, way of expressing a log line. BOOST_LOG(some, kind, of, args); Now, how should the interface of BOOST_LOG(...) look like? To find that out, I'll start by explaining how I would like boost log to behave from a users point of view, for instance using boost.Asio. #define BOOST_ASIO_LOG_ENABLE #define BOOST_ASIO_LOG_MIN_LEVEL boost::log::level::debug #include <boost/asio/asio.hpp> // Insert lots of broken client code here... =) What I want to do is configure the amount of logging code that gets generated inside asio, not if the logging functionality is enabled at runtime or so. Without BOOST_ASIO_LOG_ENABLE there should be no logging code, from asio, in the executable.. I could use side by side another config for another boost library #define BOOST_SERIALIZATION_LOG_ENABLE #define BOOST_SERIALIZATION_LOG_MIN_LEVEL boost::log::level::error // only care about error logs to avoid spamming, for instance.. #include <boost/serialization.hpp> So, I've only informed the libraries that I want log to be generated, not anything about where it'll end up, or what kind of information it'll contain. The author of Asio also doesn't know what kind of information that will be generated either, but can, and should, only provide what is available from the library's point of view. // somewhere in asio code BOOST_ASIO_LOG(log::level::debug, "shutting down service.."); or, another way BOOST_ASIO_LOG_DEBUG(asio::g_log, "closing socket " << native_handle_id_); something like this is what I'm used to, but it's just for discussion. in the million ++ lines of code we have in our project we configure logs depending on system and level. That's the input required to make a log statement, the rest are details filled in by the log system itself, but it's not very interesting. a log message could automatically create the following in default config. struct msg { const char* system; //i.e. "asio" const char* source_file; const char* source_line; const char* function_name; std::string user_message; }; or it could be anything else that boosters think is portable and makes sense. My point is that libraries in boost should not deal with this, they must only learn the interface and some configuration macros of boost log (for handling the compile time enable/disable of loggin macros), and then provide the log system with the information -they have-, the rest is config details (such as log sinks and formatters). Configuring the above with a compiled library like boost serialization is an interesting task as well, that I definitely think should be addressed. could be that the flexibility decreases some in such a scenario, or it could be configued in site-config.jam or whatever. Is this along the line what boost.log has in mind, or will it be a logging library not to be used by the boost libraries themselves? Regards, Christian
