[random] Ecuyer 1988 / adaptive_combine compilation error (Boost 1.33.1)
by Jos Hickson 21 Jun '06

21 Jun '06

Hello, I think I've found a compilation error in one of the adaptive_combine::seed() methods - void seed(typename MLCG1::result_type seed1, typename MLCG2::result_type seed2) { _mlcg1(seed1); _mlcg2(seed2); } should really be something like void seed(typename MLCG1::result_type seed1, typename MLCG2::result_type seed2) { _mlcg1.seed(seed1); _mlcg2.seed(seed2); } shouldn't it? Making this change fixes the problem. I've checked CVS for a fix but it's the same there: apologies if the issue is otherwise known about. Regards, Jos Hickson

bool_set proposal (aka Boost.Tribool for standardization)
by Sylvain Pion 21 Jun '06

21 Jun '06

In the course of working on the proposal for standardization of Boost.Interval, we have produced a separate proposal named "bool_set: multi-valued logic", which is related to Boost.Tribool. (it is used as the return type of the comparison operators between intervals) This proposal is submitted to the mid-term mailing and will be available as N2046. The PDF can be found here for now : http://www-sop.inria.fr/geometrica/team/Sylvain.Pion/cxx/bool_set/bool_set_… Any comment appreciated, especially from Boost.Tribool users. -- Herve, Guillaume, Sylvain

Boost Regression test failures Report time: 2006-06-21T09:20:38Z This report lists all regression test failures on release platforms. Detailed report: http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/CVS-RC_1_34_0/developer/i… The following platforms have a large number of failures: sun-5.8 953 failures in 40 libraries (627 are from non-broken platforms) algorithm/string (2 of 3 failures are from non-broken platforms) conversion (0 of 1 failures are from non-broken platforms) date_time (11 of 22 failures are from non-broken platforms) dynamic_bitset (1) filesystem (2 of 5 failures are from non-broken platforms) function (1) graph (7 of 34 failures are from non-broken platforms) integer (1) io (2) iostreams (40 of 62 failures are from non-broken platforms) iterator (2 of 4 failures are from non-broken platforms) lambda (0 of 12 failures are from non-broken platforms) math (1 of 5 failures are from non-broken platforms) mpl (10 of 45 failures are from non-broken platforms) multi_array (3) multi_index (1) numeric/conversion (5) numeric/interval (4 of 7 failures are from non-broken platforms) numeric/ublas (8) optional (0 of 2 failures are from non-broken platforms) parameter (30 of 37 failures are from non-broken platforms) pool (1) program_options (9 of 19 failures are from non-broken platforms) python (87 of 154 failures are from non-broken platforms) random (1 of 2 failures are from non-broken platforms) range (1) rational (4 of 5 failures are from non-broken platforms) serialization (24 of 299 failures are from non-broken platforms) signals (8) smart_ptr (0 of 1 failures are from non-broken platforms) spirit (0 of 45 failures are from non-broken platforms) test (2 of 10 failures are from non-broken platforms) tr1 (48 of 92 failures are from non-broken platforms) type_traits (0 of 25 failures are from non-broken platforms) typeof (7 of 9 failures are from non-broken platforms) utility (1 of 2 failures are from non-broken platforms) utility/enable_if (0 of 1 failures are from non-broken platforms) variant (0 of 12 failures are from non-broken platforms) wave (1 of 5 failures are from non-broken platforms) xpressive (1) Test failures marked with a (*) represent tests that failed on platforms that are considered broken. They are likely caused by misconfiguration by the regression tester or a failure in a core library such as Test or Config. |algorithm/string| regex: gcc-4.1.0_linux_x86_64 sun-5.8* replace:

[Pool] Type signature of UserAllocator::free
by Stephan Tolksdorf 21 Jun '06

21 Jun '06

Hi, I was looking for a lightweight Allocator interface and found many references to the UserAllocator interface from Pool: http://www.boost.org/libs/pool/doc/interfaces/user_allocator.html I'm not sure if the interface was designed to be used outside of Pool in the first place, but if one tries to do so, the signature of the free function becomes a problem. The free function currently takes a char* const argument, which makes it difficult to use as a deleter for shared_ptrs and requires a typecast everytime one wants to free memory. What is the design rationale for not using a (non-const) void* argument? Could the specification be changed? Regards, Stephan

[Boost-bugs] [ boost-Bugs-1509633 ] [filesystem] portable_posix_name() may fail on premain call

Category: filesystem Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Kevin J Bluck (kbluck) Assigned to: Beman Dawes (beman_dawes) Summary: [filesystem] portable_posix_name() may fail on premain call Initial Comment: Boost 1.33.1 The constant valid_posix defined in path_posix_windows.cpp is a module-level static definition. This means that instances of path also defined at some other module scope may fail when checking against portable_posix_name due to initialization-order problems; valid_posix may not yet be initialized at the time it is referenced. This can be avoided by wrapping valid_posix and similar static constants in functions as function statics, which guarantees initialization order. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=107586&aid=1509633&group_… _______________________________________________ Boost-bugs mailing list Boost-bugs(a)lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/boost-bugs

[date_time] a possible bug in string_parse_tree.hpp breaking HP-UX
by Boris Gubenko 20 Jun '06

20 Jun '06

In date_time/string_parse_tree.hpp, there is the following code: template<typename charT> struct string_parse_tree { #if BOOST_WORKAROUND( __BORLANDC__, BOOST_TESTED_AT(0x581) ) typedef std::multimap<charT, string_parse_tree< charT> > ptree_coll; #else typedef std::multimap<charT, string_parse_tree > ptree_coll; #endif ... ptree_coll m_next_chars; ... }; This code instantiates STL container on an incomplete type. According to section 17.4.3.6 of the C++ Standard, the implementation does not have to support this. The Rogue Wave library v2.2 and higher does not allow this for associative containers (it does allow this for sequences). For example, compiling a tiny program below on HP-UX results in an "incomplete type is not allowed" error. This is what breaks date_time library tests on HP-UX. The Rogue Wave library v2.0, which is the C++ standard library on Tru64, allows this, as well as gnu libstdc++, Dinkumware library and STLport. It may explain why this issue has not been noticed before. Boris Gubenko ---%<--- #include <map> struct string_parse_tree { typedef std::multimap<char, string_parse_tree> ptree_coll; ptree_coll m_next_chars; }; string_parse_tree x; --->%---
