[Asio][ssl] develop broken
by Damian Jarek 18 Feb '19

18 Feb '19

After the changes today (introduced in https://github.com/boostorg/asio/commit/0568d3bf0b492887c6c48d05f5492a782da… ) an overload of async_handshake( https://github.com/boostorg/asio/blob/develop/include/boost/asio/ssl/stream…) fails to compile because of the signature mismatch in async_result. This is a show-stopper, because it breaks quite a bit of code in Beast.

Searching and Sorting algorithms
by Siddhartha Sen 18 Feb '19

18 Feb '19

Sorry for the typo. I meant "generic", not genetic. Anyways, I went through the non-mutating algorithms section and can't think of anything to possibly add. I had three questions though: 1. Is there any interest in libraries aimed at solving any small but particular problem, for example, say tower of hanoi in minimum possible time? 2. For any existing algorithm, if we add some features would it be useful? For example, as far as I know, binary search returns true if an element is found and false, if not. What if we add the elements position if found? Does not change complexity, but makes it better to use,doesn't it? 3. I want to contribute to the sorting algorithms library as well, any idea where to start? Is there any scope for improvement of any existing algorithms? Also, if we want to add any entirely new algorithms of our own, any suggestions where to start? I am working on an algorithm currently and was hoping to propose it to the boost libraries. Sorry if my post got too lengthy. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You.

Searching Algorithm
by Siddhartha Sen 17 Feb '19

17 Feb '19

Looking to contribute to the sorting library under algorithms. Any mentors available? Also, is their any interest in searching algorithms? I looked up the boost libraries but couldn't find any. Are there any mentors available? I want to make a searching library which will be genetic in nature and applicable for all data types. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks. Siddhartha

building, debugging and contributing to an individual boost library
by Sean Farrow 17 Feb '19

17 Feb '19

Hi, Once I have forked an individual boost library, what is the best way of building the library with b2? How are dependencies on other libraries handled? Secondly, how can I build, run and debug tests using visual studio? Any help appreciated. Kind regards Sean.

Re: [boost] Mail list is poorly indexed by Google

String Algorithms
by Siddhartha Sen 14 Feb '19

14 Feb '19

Hi, I would like to contribute to the string algorithms library for GSOC 2019. Are there any potential mentors to pair up with? I am also interested in algorithms in general, especially sorting and searching libraries. Is there any scope for contribution there as well? Any answers would be appreciated

Mail list is poorly indexed by Google
by Nikita Kniazev 13 Feb '19

I was going to find the https://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2018/12/244648.php thread, but it did not worked with Google (looked all the pages <https://www.google.com/search?q=dropping+support+for+msvc+9+site%3Alists.bo…>), while DuckDuckGo shows it as the first link <https://ddg.gg/?q=dropping+support+for+msvc+9+site%3Alists.boost.org>. Can webmasters look into this with the Google's Search Console <https://search.google.com/search-console/about>? Or it is a policy to supplant the all-embracing Google? :-)

Regarding Boost.Real
by Sreejith S 13 Feb '19

13 Feb '19

Hi all I am Sreejith, a sophomore at Amrita University. I had gone through GSoC projects and I found Bringing Boost.Real to review-ready state interesting. As a beginner, I tried to understand the blog post of previous year's GSoC-18 project of the same. It seemed too difficult for me. Is it ok to work on it without any experience? -- Regards, Sreejith.S Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham FOSS@Amrita <http://amfoss.in> | Github <https://github.com/sreejithsankar55> | Blog <http://sreejithsankar.wordpress.com>
