Incorrect values of sin and cos
by anshu khare 17 Jan '20

17 Jan '20

cos(3*pi(cpp_bin_float_50>()/2)) does not give correct value. Only cos(pi(cpp_bin_float_50>()/2)) gives correct value. All odd multiples of cos(pi/2) do not give correct value. The issue with sin() as well. Anshu

Future directions for Boost.Math and Boost.Multiprecision
by pbristow＠hetp.u-net.com 16 Jan '20

16 Jan '20

Trying to obtain some user (and potential user) feedback, and guidance on future work, a discussion at https://github.com/boostorg/math/issues/303 has been started. If you (or your friends and colleagues) have ideas for mathy things like 'special' functions, statistical distributions, tools like integration, curve fitting, signal processing ... that the current libraries do not meet, please feel free to contribute to this wish-list collection of ideas. (This is not, of course, a promise to implement everything or indeed anything! But might help us to focus work on areas that have most value to users.) Paul

Hello mentors, I would like to contribute to the core library of BOOST. I am working on windows. I cloned boostorg/core library. After cloning I found that there are many folders. Could you please tell which folder should I look up? Thank you Anshu Khare

[Astronomy] GSoC2020
by Pranam Lashkari 10 Jan '20

10 Jan '20

Hello, Earlier I was thinking of resting astronomy library for this GSoC and bring it to its first formal review after some development on my own cause it has been part of GSoC for 2 years now and still not reached to its first review and there are still many pending things before its first review. Since last month, I have started receiving many requests and ideas from the students about this library and many students are taking initiative and this may speed up the process of development. I still would like to know the opinion of the community before including this library in this GSoC. Thank you, Pranam Lashkari

boost range for non integers
by Wim Leflere 10 Jan '20

10 Jan '20

Hello, I was wondering why the (i)range function is limited to integers. https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_72_0/libs/range/doc/html/range/reference/r… It would be nice if it also supported floats. Or any 'incrementable' class, e.g. Date. Regards, Wim Leflere

New allocator uses global memory
by Frederick Gotham 10 Jan '20

10 Jan '20

I propose a new allocator that uses global (i.e. static duration) memory. Here's my current experimental code: #include <cstddef> /* size_t */ #include <new> /* Only for bad_alloc */ static int this_translation_unit; /* This serves the same purpose as __FILE__ */ template<typename T, std::size_t t_capacity, std::size_t t_counter, int *t_file = &this_translation_unit> class StaticAllocator { protected: static T buf[t_capacity]; public: typedef T value_type; template<typename U> struct rebind { typedef StaticAllocator<U, t_capacity, t_counter, t_file> other; }; T *allocate(std::size_t const n) { if (n > t_capacity) throw std::bad_alloc(); return buf; } void deallocate(T *, std::size_t) { /* Do Nothing */ } }; template<typename T, std::size_t t_capacity, std::size_t t_counter, int *t_file> T StaticAllocator<T, t_capacity, t_counter, t_file>::buf[t_capacity]; using std::size_t; #include <vector> using std::vector; #include <iostream> using std::cout; using std::endl; auto main(void) -> int { vector< char, StaticAllocator< char, 4, __COUNTER__ > > v; v.push_back('a'); v.push_back('b'); v.push_back('c'); v.push_back('d'); for (auto const &elem : v) cout << elem << endl; vector< char, StaticAllocator< char, 4, __COUNTER__ > > v2; v2.push_back('x'); v2.push_back('y'); v2.push_back('z'); for (auto const &elem : v2) cout << elem << endl; // Now try the first vector again for (auto const &elem : v) cout << elem << endl; } The trick I am using with "this_translation_unit" works fine on GNU and Clang, however it fails to compile on Microsoft because the variable has internal linkage. I'm sure we can do this another way using something from the Boost preprocessor library. The preprocessor macro __COUNTER__ is available on every compiler I know of. Frederick P.S. This is my second idea posted to the Boost dev list. My first one was "istream_iterator_limited".

Hi, I am Soham Mukherjee. I am willing to participate in GSOC-20 and was looking forward participating with this organization. Can someone please guide me on how to get started and linking me to some easy fixes and also documentations so that I can familiarize myself with the codebase. Thanks
