SF CVS outage, fyi...
by Rene Rivera 07 Aug '05

07 Aug '05

( 2005-08-04 10:34:06 - Project CVS Service ) Starting on 2005-08-09 at 09:00 Pacific, developer CVS service will be offline for a expected period of up to 36 hours to facilitate significant hardware upgrades. Developer CVS service is moving from its current home on a 4 x 700MHz PIII, 500GB RAID5, 4GB RAM host to a new host that has roughly quadruple the I/O performance: a 2 x 2.8GHz Xeon, 1TB RAID5 striped, 8GB RAM host. Further announcements of CVS service improvements will occur in the weeks following this hardware upgrade (CVS sync delay is not yet eliminated, but that is on our list to complete). -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - Grafik/jabber.org

[1.33.0] Unintentional dependency
by David Abrahams 07 Aug '05

07 Aug '05

I just realized that Boost.Parameter contains a dependency on boost/python/detail/is_xxx.hpp that I meant to fix before release by moving is_xxx.hpp into boost/detail. I'm certainly willing to wait until after 1.33.0 to fix this, but people complained bitterly about dependencies on boost/python/detail/indirect_traits.hpp before I did the same refactorization there. Doug, what do you think? -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com

Boost on FreeBSD [patch]
by Simon Barner 06 Aug '05

06 Aug '05

Dear Boost developers, I am currently testing a CVS snapshot of the upcoming boost 1.33.0 release (from 07/31), and I found the attached patch is needed. This is because the T_DIVIDE macro is already declared in the FreeBSD header file /usr/include/machine/trap.h, which is pulled via various other header files. Kind regards, Simon (maintainer of the FreeBSD boost port) P.S.: I'll try RC1 as soon as possible. P.P.S.: Please Cc: me in your replys, I'm not on the list. Thanks.

about icpc error

Hello Martin, Can you tell me how you got the following more-than-one-instance error resolved? /boost/head-regression/boost/boost/iostreams/copy.hpp(182): error: more than one instance of overloaded function "resolve" matches the argument list: function template "boost::iostreams::detail::resolve<Mode,Ch,Iter>(const boost::iterator_range<Iter> &)" function template "boost::iostreams::detail::resolve<Mode,Ch,T>(const T &, boost::disable_if<boost::iostreams::is_std_io<T>, void>::type *)" argument types are: (const boost::iterator_range<const char *>) return copy_impl(resolve<input, char_type>(src), wrap(snk), buffer_size); command: icpc -c -w1 -g -O0 -I"../bin/boost/libs/iostreams/test" -I"/boost/head-regression/boost" -o "../bin/boost/libs/iostreams/test/newline_filter_test.test/intel-8.1-linux/debug/newline_filter_test.o" "/boost/head-regression/boost/libs/iostreams/test/newline_filter_test.cpp" I got the googled link, http://64.233.187.104/search?q=cache:uEsi-MT1fegJ:www.jobmanager.com/engine…, when I ran into the similar problem. It seems that you have resolved problem since that page was removed. Thanks, -Bo __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Who's Using Boost?
by David Abrahams 06 Aug '05

06 Aug '05

I have two concerns about these pages: 1. They violate the library naming/branding conventions (http://www.boost.org/more/discussion_policy.htm#lib_names) 2. How shall we get http://www.boost.org/libs/python/projects.html integrated into it? -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com

CSS expert advice needed
by David Abrahams 06 Aug '05

06 Aug '05

It has frustrated me that footnotes are rendered in such extremely small type in the Parameter library documentation (http://www.boost-consulting.com/libs/parameter) but I can't tell what needs to change in the CSS to fix it. Can anyone help? Thanks, -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com

Name polution with boost::type_traits
by Ivan Godard 06 Aug '05

06 Aug '05

May I suggest that the type_traits identifiers all be placed in a boost::type_traits namespace, with one indirect #include file to grandfather existing usage? The added file, say hide_type_traits.hpp, would include all the detail .hpp files the way that type_traits.hpp does now. The individual detail files would wrap each API declaration in "namespace type_traits{...}". The present type_traits.hpp would simply: #include "hide_type_traits.hpp" namespace boost { using namespace type_traits; } The effect is that current usage will still work if you include type_traits.hpp as at present, but those of us who want the type_traits names (bit not the rest of boost) in the file namespace can do a "using boost::type_traits;" to achieve that. What prompts this note is a desire to prepare for TR1 while continuing to support old compilers. We attempted to say (in a file included when using an older compiler): namespace std { #include "boost/type_traits.hpp" } so that the boost type_traits identifiers would appear in the std namespace under an old compiler just as they would in a compiler that implements TR1. However, this blows up because the boost type_traits library transitively includes other boost stuff it uses, and that stuff does *not* like to be in std :-) Of course, we could leave all the identifiers in the boost space and pick them out one by one with using statements; that's in fact what we are doing. But that means we have to track your library with our using's, a maintenance nuisance. Lastly, may I suggest that future libraries with lots of identifiers should routinely use a per-module namespace, like the mpl library does now? That would obviate this nuisance should the library later be standardized. Ivan
