[date_time, asio, range] Unused argument warning fixes
by Caleb Epstein 12 Sep '07

12 Sep '07

Attached is a patch against the SVN trunk that fixes several unused argument warnings from gcc. With one exception the changes are just commenting out the argument name in the function definition. but there is a more ugly fix in <asio/detail/strand_service.hpp> that is only required when building with NDEBUG defined (e.g. when assert is a noop). Can the owners of the code take a look and either commit the appropriate fixes or give me the go-ahead to do it myself. I don't want to step on any toes. -- Caleb Epstein

[Boost][config]Pathscale and Pgi configuration headers
by K. Noel Belcourt 12 Sep '07

12 Sep '07

Hi, I ran boost/config configure on our PGI and Pathscale compilers and have create minimal headers (attached) that I'd like to add to boost/ config/compiler. If there's no problems with how I've setup the files or other objections, I'll commit them to the trunk in a couple of days. Thanks. -- Noel Belcourt

[detail/lightweight_mutex] ODR violation
by Joaquín Mª López Muñoz 11 Sep '07

11 Sep '07

boost/detail/flyweight_mutex.hpp implements a mutex class based on a Win32 CRITICAL_SECTION or using Pthreads according to the following pp logic: #if defined(WIN32) || defined(_WIN32) || defined(__WIN32__) // based on CRITICAL_SECTION #elif defined(BOOST_HAS_PTHREADS) // based on Pthreads The problem with this is that WIN32 and related macros are not predefined in some environments (Cygwin at least) but rather they are defined inside windows.h, thus making the logic above dependent on the inclusion context. For instance, the two programs #include <boost/detail/lightweight_mutex.hpp> #include <iostream> int main() { std::cout<<sizeof(boost::detail::lightweight_mutex)<<std::endl; } and #include <windows.h> #include <boost/detail/lightweight_mutex.hpp> #include <iostream> int main() { std::cout<<sizeof(boost::detail::lightweight_mutex)<<std::endl; } output 4 and 24, respectively, under Cygwin.

Suggest: detail functions for full built-in arithmetic
by Daryle Walker 11 Sep '07

11 Sep '07

Maybe we should add a header to our detail (and/or pending) folder encapsulating the full versions of built-in integer arithmetic operations, that most(?) processors have, but neither C nor C++ let us access. I'm talking about functions like: std::pair<unsigned, bool> full_add( unsigned a1, unsigned a2 ); The processor has a "carry" flag whenever an integer addition overflows, but we can't access it (without assembly-language hacks). A conforming C++ workaround is to calculate the carry flag in advance before adding. But we could provide an implementation of this function that uses the assembly-language hacks to compute the sum and carry at once, encapsulating it for any other library (present or future) that needs full addition arithmetic. Other examples would be: std::pair<unsigned, bool> full_subtract( unsigned m, unsigned s ); // for quick access to the "borrow" state boost::array<unsigned, 2> full_multiply(unsigned f1, unsigned f2); // no need to do piecemeal multiply with 16-bit halves // result[1]: high part, result[0]: low part std::pair<boost::array<unsigned, 2>, unsigned> full_divide( unsigned (&dividend)[2], unsigned divisor ); // no need to do piecemeal division one-bit at a time // result.first[1]: quotient, high part // result.first[0]: quotient, low part // result.second: remainder I list only "unsigned int" here, but we could do versions for all the built-in integer types. The assembly-language implementations would require #segregating by processor/compiler type. -- Daryle Walker Mac, Internet, and Video Game Junkie darylew AT hotmail DOT com

asio forcing the use of handlers?
by Roland Schwarz 11 Sep '07

11 Sep '07

I am just about to find out how I could make use of the asio library, and am wondering if async io also can be done without using handler functions. I recognize that it is possible to use it in a blocked manner as follows: assuming we have an open socket: sock read(sock, buf); ... use the buffer contents ... Now I am wondering if I could also accomplish something like: cp = async_read(sock, buf); ... do something useful ... cp.wait(); .. use the buffer contents ... Thank you, Roland aka speedsnail

Release procedure. Where do we go?
by Roland Schwarz 11 Sep '07

11 Sep '07

Hopefully I am not seen as trying to add fuel to the fire, but I am wondering if anyone tried to perform an analysis of what exactly did not work with the (previous) release procedure. I have seen David Abrahams trying to analyze the current tools, but I have not seen an analysis of the procedure and why it fails. (But I might have missed it in the long thread.) So I dare to ask the question again: What is wrong on 1) working on trunk, the bleeding edge 2) branching out for release when the trunk is release-stable 2.1) feature freeze and stabilizing, merging relevant parts to trunk 3) releasing from release candidate branch, i.e. tagging the branch 3.1) bugfixing on branch, merging to trunk, tagging the branch Is it this procedure that is broken, or is it the tools that are insufficient to support this procedure? In this scenario there is also always a release-ready branch insofar as a branch, once released still is release-ready (e.g. for fixing). And there is nothing that can potentially destabilize a branch that has already been forked out. There is also no requirement that a release branch ever dies. Bug fixes still can go there after it has been tagged. I also see nothing wrong with multiple release candidate branches at the same time. A release branch simply is another name for a certain set of features that are covered. No resources to test everything? Only a reported failure indicates something being wrong, that needs to be fixed. So I think it only fair to ask the reporter to help with testing by providing access to her environment and spend the necessary processor cycles to fix the problem. (Of course we would need the tools that would allow us this kind of on demand remote testing.) (This kind of support is also where developers could earn money if they like.) A potential user just browses through the testing pages and selects the most up to date release that covers the required features. (With the option for bug-fixing if something does not work for his environment.) Of course in this scenario the release manager would have less work to do :-D . Just watching out when a agreed feature set is in the trunk, and branch when there. (Of course developers always try to hold trunk as stable as possible ;-) ) Another potential benefit of this model is that developers already are used to it. So my bottom point is to generalize the current model to what I have said above and concentrate to get better tools that support this. AFAIK this is also the model other big monolithic projects are using. Departing from it would require modularization of the boost library, which at the current state does not look like an easy task to me. A small example: I was trying to single out the asio lib, and discovered that it had quite some implicit (undocumented) dependencies on other header-only/prebuilt libs. Only when I tried to use auto_link on an msvc platform with BOOST_LIB_DIAGNOSTIC turned on I eventually figured out that I also had to provide boost_system boost_date_time and boost_regex to the linker while compiling with gcc. So the recipe I once heard on this list: just take the relevant files and copy to your directory if you don't need all of boost, is hoping at best. Roland aka speedsnail
