Boost c++ on WinXP with Intel compiler
by Diego Yanivello 07 Nov '07

07 Nov '07

Hi guys, I'm trying to compile the boost library for regular expressions (regex) on Windows XP using the Intel 9.1 compiler. So far, I have not found a make file for doing that. I tried with the "generic.mak" included within the boost distribution, but it seems not to work with Intel's compiler, as some options (like output file -o) are different for Intel's (/Fo in this case). So I started writing a .mak file by my own, and I'm getting some linking errors. I wonder if any of you tried compiling boost with Intel. I think it is a very common requirement, and I'm sure someone else did it... I just can't find it on the inet.

[test][intel-win32-7.1] execution_monitor.ipp broken in rev 40449
by Joaquín Mª López Muñoz 07 Nov '07

07 Nov '07

Hello, A couple of weeks ago I extended a previous fix to this file for MSVC 6.5 so as to cover Intel 7.1 as well, as publicized at http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2007/10/129105.php Rev 40284 just replaced # if BOOST_WORKAROUND(BOOST_MSVC, < 1300 ) with # if BOOST_WORKAROUND(_MSC_VER, < 1300 ) Alas, this change has been reverted by subsequent revision 40449: http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/40449 so that Intel 7.1 is again broken. My hunch is that this reversion was not intentional and I'll be happy to switch back to using _MSC_VER instead of BOOST_MSVC, but I'd like to ask for confirmation/permission first. Thank you, Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

[1.35.0] List of developers needing to merge changes from 1.34.1 into the trunk
by Beman Dawes 07 Nov '07

07 Nov '07

Below is the list of files needing changes merged from 1.34.1 that Dave Abrahams generated, sorted by developer. Each developer in this list needs to see if changes need to be merged from 1.34.1. It would be helpful to respond to this message indicating "done" when you've completed this task so I can monitor progress. As an example, consider libs/filesystem/src/operations.cpp: To merge via the command line, cd to the working copy of the trunk, boost-trunk/libs/filesystem/src directory, and enter (all on one line): svn merge -r37476:HEAD https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/branches/RC_1_34_0/boost/libs/filesystem/sr… operations.cpp For TortoiseSVN, right click boost-trunk/libs/filesystem/src/operations.cpp, click "TortoiseSVN", click "Merge", and fill out the dialog. See the attached .jpg for a screen shot of the filled out merge dialog. In the case of operations.cpp, a diff showed that someone had made a fix for a specific compiler and not merged the fix back to trunk. So I went ahead with the merge and committed the resulting file. If the change had not been desired, I would simply have not done the merge, or reverted if I'd been using the command line and had already merged. --Beman

Re: [boost] [pimpl] Proposal. Determining interest.
by Vladimir.Batov＠wrsa.com.au 06 Nov '07

Marc, Thank you for your input. Much appreciated. That's fair enough that you are not overwhelmingly impressed. :-) I do agree that "the savings don't seem to be large compared to hand-written code". Although the main advantages that I see are not on the implementation side but rather on the interface side which is pure interface. Otherwise, all the scaffolding currently hidden in that pimpl will go to the base class. As for verbosity, it's certainly a matter of taste. I personally hate writing comments. So, I tend to write self-commented code. :-) Thanks again, Vladimir. "Marc Mutz" <marc(a)kdab.net> wrote in message news:<200711061818.54220.marc(a)kdab.net>... I've been more thinking about the attached scenario. I'm not sure it's worth it, since the savings don't seem to be large compared to hand-written code, and the need to spell out the forwarding Base(implementation*) is a bit ugly (maybe that can be solved in C++0x?), but that should give you the idea. Maybe someone better at template magic than I am can coerce this into a workable thing. The need for verboseness in referring to pimpl<Class>::implementation strikes me as a likely candidate for improvement, e.g. Thanks, Marc Thanks, Vladimir.

svn merge failed, pre-commit hook?
by Eric Niebler 06 Nov '07

06 Nov '07

I just tried to merge a bunch of changes from trunk into a branch, and got this: svn: Commit failed (details follow): svn: MERGE request failed on '/svn/boost/branches/proto/v3' svn: 'pre-commit' hook failed with error output: File names with > 31 characters: /branches/proto/v3/libs/graph/test/planar_input_graphs/planar_K_4_expansion_10_p6.dimacs ... and a bunch more files like it. So, really? I can't merge *any* changes from trunk because some files are rejected by the pre-commit hook? That's a bit extreme. It's nice to enforce our file name requirements, but please let me do my work. -- Eric Niebler Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com

Re: [boost] [pimpl] Proposal. Determining interest.

>> Inherited Pimpls >> >> sdfsd >> >> >> Polymorphic Implementations >> >> sdfs >I'd very much like to see those sections, or even only how you'd go about >re-using a pimpl_ptr from a base class, inheriting Derived::Impl from >Base::Impl.? It has to be remembered that Pimpl idiom is about implementation hiding, i.e. it's about implementation and it's about hiding. It's not about making a class to behave as a pointer -- that is done by shared_ptr and done beautifully. A Pimpl-based class is by all means an ordinary class. The fact that its implementation is done in pimpl fashion is an implementation detail and is irrelevant when one inherits from that class. Therefore, as far as inheriting from a Pimpl-based class is concerned, there is not much to it. That is, class Test : public pimpl<Test>::pointer_semantics { }; >From outside Test is an ordinary C++ class and NOT a pointer or anything like, say, shared_ptr<Test>. So, to inherit from it class Derived : public Test { }; Certainly it is unreasonable to expect all the perks that pimpl<> provided while we built Test to percolate to Derived. As far as "inheriting Derived::Impl from Base::Impl", then I've been doing pimpl<Base>::implementation { }; pimpl<Derived>::implementation : pimpl<Base>::implementation { }; on one occasion. So far, my experience is that you cannot make much use of it (like Test being polymorphic and housing Derived implementation instead)... unless you are prepared to forgo implementation hiding -- something the Pimpl is deployed for in the first place. If you do not care for implementation hiding, then I'd suggest going with shared_ptr instead. Thanks, Vladimir.

Boost conventions and unnamed namespaces
by Maciej Sobczak 06 Nov '07

06 Nov '07

I have noticed that the Boost inspect program tries [*] to find unnamed namespaces and marks them as violations. [*] It does not find the one in its own sources, ironically. Does it mean that Boost conventions discourage the use of unnamed namespaces? Regards, -- Maciej Sobczak * www.msobczak.com * www.inspirel.com

Dynamic Overload : some note
by Marco 06 Nov '07

06 Nov '07

Now the library tutorial is available in quickbook format on the Boost Sandbox Repository: http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/overload/trunk/ There is some more documentation available on-line: http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dfxvjncs_2c8cqsr At present it is more a supportive paper than real library documentation, however it can give some enlightenment on the overload tutorial terminology and some involving concept. Finally, I want to point out that even if the library seems enough stable you should be aware that it didn't still go through rigorous testing, and that refactoring and breaking changes are still possible. So if you're using Boost.Overload for your projects you'd keep in mind that at this stage of development I can't warrant backward compatibility of future library release.

reference_wrapper() and operator()()
by Thorsten Ottosen 06 Nov '07

06 Nov '07

Dear reference wrapper authors, Is there any good reason that boost::reference_wrapper() does not provide a forwarding operator()(), so that we may use it to pass function objects by reference to algorithms? best regards -Thorsten
