property tree library not in CVS?
by Janek Kozicki 13 Dec '06

13 Dec '06

Hello, I recall that Property Tree library has been accepted into boost: http://tinyurl.com/h5nlt I can find its documentation on the web and source to download, but I have downloaded current CVS: cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@boost.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost login cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@boost.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost checkout boost cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@boost.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost logout And I cannot find it there. Anyone can explain why it's not there? (or maybe I'm just blind) -- Janek Kozicki |

[Serialization] Thread-safety again
by Sean Huang 13 Dec '06

13 Dec '06

Sorry for the double post. I misspelled "serialization" in the subject --- I posted this about a year ago but got no definite answer from Robert. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/132838/focus=132838 I vaguely remember that there were similar discussions about this issue a few month back but do not know if it had reached any conclusion. Now my programs started crashing because of this problem and I am wondering if there is a good solution. Is making the function scope static objects static member with its caveats the best we could do? Thanks, Sean

For this last I don't think there is a good non-intrusive solution. If the default is to throw an exception then it effectively limits the contained type to those enumerated. In this case it is probably better to use variant in the first place. In Christ, Steven Watanabe

configure behavior is strange (writing to home dir)
by Neal Becker 12 Dec '06

12 Dec '06

I just grabbed RC_1_34_0. I ran configure and was surprised to see: Generating Boost.Build configuration in /home/nbecker/user-config.jam... That's not really expected behavior, to write to my home dir. Probably not really useful either if I build as a different user. Why don't we just write the the build dir?

This is typically independent of interpolation policy and would default to no smoothing.

I'll add an installation section to the docs. The library is header-only, so there is no lib to compile and link to. Boost.Time_series requires either Boost 1.34 or Boost CVS HEAD. If you already have a Boost installation with bjam, then just unpack time_series.zip into some empty directory, set a BOOST_ROOT environment variable to point at the root of your boost installation, and then you should be able to compile the example program (libs/time_series/example) with "bjam --v2" If you're a Visual C++ user, the example program has a .vcproj file, which will also get you going, so long as you set the BOOST_ROOT environment variable. If you're winging it, you just need to set the include directories like this: -I /home/eric/time_series/boost/backports \ -I /home/eric/time_series \ -I $BOOST_ROOT The backports include path must come before $BOOST_ROOT, and is only necessary if you are compiling against Boost 1.34. (It's not needed if you're compiling against HEAD.) HTH, -- Eric Niebler Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
