[database] - guid class
by Andy Tompkins 08 Feb '06

08 Feb '06

I can not find a guid/uuid class. Is there a guid/uuid class out there? I develop with Windows and found the strut GUID in <guiddef.h>, but I am looking for a class that has the member functions one would expect with a value class (ie comparison, equality, ...). I created a simple guid class and I am wondering if any one else would find it useful. I have read on this list about a proposed database library and I believe that it should have a guid class.

Hi, Is the documentation for boost/assert.hpp linked in anywhere? I don't see it mentioned on the utility documentation page. Thanks, ron

reaching the moderators...
by Tobias Schwinger 08 Feb '06

Hi Boost moderators, I sent a mail to you at boost-owner(a)lists.boost.org (asking for CVS access) more than 24 hours ago now and haven't got any reply, yet. Is that email address still the right one? Regards, Tobias

[test] Test Execution monitor fate
by Gennadiy Rozental 08 Feb '06

08 Feb '06

Hi, While working on Boost.Test documentation update I've realized that there is no substantial reason anymore to keep this component around. The Unit Test Framework work just as well and does not require any more effort. Here is an example: Using the Test Execution Monitor: ---------------------------------- #include <boost/test/test_exec_monitor.cpp> int test_main( int, char* [] ) { /// your testing is here return 0; } Using the Unit Test Framework: ---------------------------------- #define BOOST_TEST_MAIN #include <boost/test/unit _test.cpp> BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( my_test ) { /// your testing is here } There are monor preferences for either solution (test_main look like main, but require return statement and argument specifications). But from usability standpoint they are similar. I know that many Boost developers are using this component. So I would like to hear community opinion. If nobody speak up I am planning to depricate this component (first from documentation in 1.34, an from source code in 1.36) Regards, Gennadiy

[serialization] minor fixes
by Vladimir Prus 08 Feb '06

08 Feb '06

JFYI, I've checked in the attached trivial patch. It adds one missing #include (I get compile error without it) and fixes a couple of "signed/unsigned comparison" warnings. - Volodya

[regex] issue with regex_dll_config_info test?
by Vladimir Prus 08 Feb '06

08 Feb '06

Hello! Looking at libs/regex/test/Jamfile, I'm puzzled by the following part: [ run config_info/regex_config_info.cpp <template>test : : : <test-info>always_show_run_output ] [ run config_info/regex_config_info.cpp <template>test : : : <test-info>always_show_run_output : regex_dll_config_info ] The name of second tests suggests it should somehow test the regex library built as DLL, or something. However, there are no other differences between the tests, and test name does not affect anything at all. I did verify that running the second tests links to a static version of Boost.Regex, and that the generated library has no dynamic links to any boost libraries, just the system ones. So, it looks like tests are completely identical. Is that a bug? Maybe, the second test using be using <template>test-dll? - Volodya

[type traits] Borland 2006 patch

There are quite a few more BCB2006 patches to come, but now that Metacomm tests are running I will submit the more important (that affect dependant libraries) New compiler config header will follow tonight - although it is largely the same as for BCB6.

[type_traits][cw 9.4] test request
by Joaquín Mª López Muñoz 08 Feb '06

08 Feb '06

Hello, Could any kind soul with access to CW 9.4 try to compile the following and report the results? #include <boost/type_traits/is_convertible.hpp> #include <memory> class foo{}; typedef boost::is_convertible< const std::auto_ptr<const foo *>, const foo> type; int main() { bool b=type::value; } I've got reasons to think this will fail, and hence spot a problem with boost::is_convertible in CW.
