Although it doesn't seem to say whether "vec" is hoisted, and the given translation suggests that it isn't. I imagine that is an oversight in the presentation rather than the intended semantics. Interestingly he gives an example of an adaptor which could potentially be evaluated multiple times. The proposal says: The user is required to include the standard header <iterator> in which the default version of begin()/end() is defined which seems wrong to me. #include<vector> ought to be enough to use for with std::vector, if it's a built-in facility. -- Dave Harris, Nottingham, UK.

[boost.assign] help with borland, sunpro & cw 8.3

Hi All, If anyone thinks these compilers are important to support in boost.assign, I will need your help to make these regressions run. Otherwise I will flag the errors as "expected failure". -Thorsten -- Thorsten Ottosen ---------------------------- www.dezide.com http://www.cs.aau.dk/index2.php?content=Research/mi www.boost.org www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG21/

boost log lib 1.3 compile failure w/gcc

That's odd. after_digits is the position of the first character that follows 1s and 0s. The 359-characters str parameter should be the long string defined in bitset.hpp, thus you should have at least after_digits==359. I may be wrong because I don't have the necessary time and calm to check the code from the office but it might be worth examining this part. In particular if, for some reason, is_one_or_zero() is immediately returning false. > > On entry to this routine b has length 1 and that element is true.

That's odd too. I'll continue reading this thread via mail. Please keep me informed and sorry for not being able to dig into this myself. -- Genny Discover Yahoo!

When 1.33 is released...
by Gordon Smith 10 May '05

As soon a 1.33 is released can we up the version number to 1_33_1 or such like in CVS, as this will make switching between HEAD and gold a lot easier? Gordon.

Allocators in VC 8.0?
by Doug Gregor 10 May '05

10 May '05

Does anyone know of any weird behavior from allocators in VC 8.0? The Function library uses allocators when available, but the two tests of allocators (allocator_test and function_test) are failing on VC 8.0 (but not 7.1). From the config info, I see that BOOST_HAS_PARTIAL_STD_ALLOCATOR is defined but BOOST_NO_STD_ALLOCATOR is not (boost::function uses the latter). The actual failure is here: http://tinyurl.com/dq3lh Could someone with access to VC 8.0 (beta 2, I guess) check to see what is happening here? Doug
