empty svn directory
by Michael Marcin 31 Aug '07

31 Aug '07

Is it possible to create a high level (probably top level) always empty directory that I can svn switch to? Switch into empty allows me to easily update and watch only the folders I care about and its a recommended practice to improve svn size and performance. http://tortoisesvn.net/node/237 Thanks, Michael Marcin

[boostbook] development as general-purpose C++ documentation tool?
by Frank Mori Hess 31 Aug '07

31 Aug '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm curious if anyone is working on making boostbook less boost-specific and easier to use for non-boost projects? There seems to be a niche for it, as I currently find myself using it for a non-boost library, as someone who has grown frustrated with Doxygen not quite understanding the source code correctly, and being unable to easily override its mistakes. - -- Frank -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFG2EFW5vihyNWuA4URAv3EAJ9Up6X+JGfeQfG5zRz6Eyby30qMvACfUj5D XcZ6k1T9rMtr85N8FK8jg9Y= =3EhF -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[build] [docs] Can't build docs
by Andrew Sutton 31 Aug '07

31 Aug '07

Sorry, this is a repost - I forgot to specify the subject correctly. Has anybody tried building any quickbook docs lately? I updated yesterday (and again today) and found that I can't build any of the docs that I've been working on - or any of the other docs in sandbox/ doc_test. It looks like something is broken with the boostbook build instructions. This is (basically) my Jamfile. using quickbook ; xml std : std.qbk ; boostbook standalone : std : .... ; Running it, I get this: /.../boost/tools/build/v2/build/virtual-target.jam:1017: in virtual- target.register-actual-name from module virtual-target error: Duplicate name of actual target: <pbin/gcc-4.1.2/debug>std.xml error: previous virtual target { quickbook%quickbook.quickbook-to- boostbook-std.xml.XML { std.qbk.QUICKBOOK } } error: created from ./std error: another virtual target { quickbook%quickbook.quickbook-to- boostbook-std.xml.XML { std.qbk.QUICKBOOK } } error: created from ./std error: added properties: <python-debugging>off error: removed properties: none If I comment out the boostbook target, the build will actually succeed, so the problem has to be something with the boostbook - and its something that has to have changed in the last week or so.[ Anybody have any ideas?

Ok, my main problem is gone. I can now express what I need with the intermediate dummy state trick. I think the improvements in this limitations are desirable but not critical, and maybe you are right and it's too much work for too little gain.

How do I run the tests for a specific library using bjam?
by eg 31 Aug '07

31 Aug '07

I notice that all the boost libraries have tests associated with them, which can be invoked by bjam somehow. Can someone tell me how to invoke bjam to run a specific test for a given (single) library, or run the whole suite of tests for the single library? As opposed to running all tests for all libraries. Alternatively, if you could point me to some docs which describe it, I can take it from there. (I did some searching but have struck out so far). Thanks

tools/release/user-config.jam
by Vladimir Prus 31 Aug '07

31 Aug '07

There's tools/release/user-config.jam file, that contains some boostbook declarations that can only work on somebody's system. Users are confusing that file with tools/build/v2/user-config.jam. Anybody can explain why we need tools/release/user-config.jam? Assuming nobody will stand up and tell it's really needed within a week, I'll just delete it. - Volodya

[constrained-value] zero-overhead
by Neal Becker 31 Aug '07

31 Aug '07

One more wish/requirement for cv. Maybe this is already met? I haven't checked. I want to be able to select a policy that does nothing, and on (reasonably modern compilers) achieve performance comparable to the underlying (int) type. That is, I want to use this like logging - where I can switch it off at compile time and make the overhead negligible.

Hi, I go there http://www.boost.org/doc/html/jam/building.html I do: C:\Documents and Settings\src\boost\tools\jam\src>build mingw --debug (like explained) A new folder named bin.ntx86.debug is added after I go there http://www.boost.org/doc/html/bbv2/installation.html 1:(done) 2: I do: C:\Documents and Settings\src\boost\tools\build\v2> bjam --version Instead of seing: Boost.Build V2 (Milestone 11)Boost.Jam 03.1.14 I see: syntax error at EOF Boost.Build V2 (Milestone 11)Boost.Jam 03.1.14 3: I open the user-config.jam file (like explained) and I modify the file, the modification is the following: import toolset : using gcc ; # GCC configuration # Configure gcc (default version) using gcc : : "C:\mingw\bin\g++"; 4: I copy bjam.exe from C:\Documents and Settings\src\boost\tools\build\v2 to C:\Documents and Settings\src\boost\tools\build\v2\example\hello and I run bjam (like explained): C:\Documents and Settings\src\boost\tools\build\v2\example\hello>bjam then I see: "syntax error at EOF No toolsets are configured ..." What is my error? David _________________________________________________________________ Retrouvez tous les services Windows Live sur votre mobile ! http://mobile.live.fr/

[graph] planar: face traversal and connected issues
by Jens Müller 31 Aug '07

I am porting LEDA code to BGL, including code dealing with planar graphs. I have code like this: e2 = G.face_cycle_succ(e1); LEDA documentation says "For an edge e of a map G let face_cycle_succ(e) = cyclic_adj_pred(reversal(e))" I suppose there currently isn't any direct support for such an operation? As far as I understand, I would have to get the embedding[target(e,g)] and then look for e there, and take the predecessor of e, right? I suppose in an undirected graph edges and their "reversal" (i.e., the edge descriptor you get when you get the edge from the other end) are equal? I think directly supporting this would be a nice addition. Furthermore, I think LEDA can do this in O(1), which we cannot. Well, amortized it should be something like O(1), no? The only solution to this problem would probably be storing the embedding in the graph object. Another issue I have is adding an edge to a planar graph while preserving the embedding. E.g., in LEDA, I have code like this: newEdges.append(x = G.new_edge(e3,v)); newEdges.append(e1 = G.new_edge(e1,w)); G.set_reversal(x, e1); From the LEDA docs: "edge G.new_edge(edge e, node w, int dir=leda::behind) adds a new edge x = (source(e), w) to G. x is inserted in front of (dir=leda::before) or behind (dir=leda::behind) edge e into adj$ \_$edges(source(e)) and appended to in$ \_$edges(w) (if G is directed) or adj$ \_$edges(w) (if G is undirected). Here leda::before and leda::behind are predefined constants. The operation returns the new edge x. Precondition source(e)! = w if G is undirected." It seems to me that there is only one adjacent edges list for a vertex, that represents the planar embedding if it has been correctly computed and not invalidated. Well, what I want to say: Functions that can add edges to an embedding would be really cool. Of course, it would be the user's obligation not to invalidate the embedding. Cheers, Jens
