RE: [boost] Re: [ANN] Phoenix-2 Preview
by Eyal Farago 29 Nov '04

I'm not that familiar with phoenix (yet) but I think your implementation fails to handle const arguments. I think that the return type deduction mechanizm should first 'remove_cv' the argument type, then get the appropriate type from your existing metafunction, then 'add_const' if the argument was const and then 'add_reference'. (all of these can be easily done using boost::mpl and boost::type_traits libs). am I missing anything? maybe the framework does this for you? eyal. -----Original Message----- From: Reece Dunn [mailto:msclrhd@hotmail.com] Sent: Monday, November 29, 2004 2:06 PM To: boost(a)lists.boost.org Cc: spirit-general(a)lists.sourceforge.net; spirit-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [boost] Re: [ANN] Phoenix-2 Preview Joel wrote: > Reece Dunn wrote: >> I have written lazy veraions of pair.first and pair.second (see >> attachment). > > Nice!

[repost][aligned_storage] problem for GCC 3.2 and proposed solution
by JOAQUIN LOPEZ MU?Z 29 Nov '04

29 Nov '04

Allow me to repost this, since seems it has gone thru the list indavertently. I'd be grateful if people with various versions of GCC can try the snippet so as to determine to which extent the problem shows. Original post follows: The following program: #include <boost/aligned_storage.hpp> struct foo { foo(int x){} private: boost::aligned_storage<sizeof(int)> a; }; int main() { foo f(5); return 0; } fails in GCC 3.2 20020927 with the error: /usr/local/boost_1_32_0/boost/aligned_storage.hpp: In function `int main()': /usr/local/boost_1_32_0/boost/aligned_storage.hpp:75: ` boost::aligned_storage<size_, alignment_>::aligned_storage(const boost::aligned_storage<size_, alignment_>&) [with unsigned int size_ = 4, unsigned int alignment_ = 0ffffffff]' is private Digging into aligned_storage.hpp, I find the following workaround: #if !BOOST_WORKAROUND(__GNUC__, <= 2) private: // noncopyable aligned_storage(const aligned_storage&); aligned_storage& operator=(const aligned_storage&); #else // gcc2.x public: // _should_ be noncopyable, but GCC compiler emits error aligned_storage(const aligned_storage&); aligned_storage& operator=(const aligned_storage&); #endif // gcc2.x workaround So, it seems like the problem was known but incorrectly assumed to affect GCC 2.x only. Anyone objects to extending the workaround to GCC 3.x? It remains to know whether this problem (that seems like an incorrect application of the copy ellision rules) persists in GCC 3.4.x, and in case it is fixed, which last version is for which we should have the workaround.

[MPL] document autogeneration
by Cromwell Enage 29 Nov '04

29 Nov '04

Since the MPL docs are autogenerated using ReST, I'd like to know how to make the documentation for my own numeric constants conform to the new format. Access to the ReST sources themselves (even if they're only on mywikinet), accompanied by the steps needed to configure Docutils, would be best. TIA!

DocBook local XSL stylesheets
by Edward Diener 29 Nov '04

29 Nov '04

It appears that the DocBook local XSL stylesheets at the DocBook SourceForge site only has a setup for Unix/Linux systems, not Windows. If this is the case, it should be mentioned in BoostBook documentation.

DocBook DTD distribution
by Edward Diener 29 Nov '04

29 Nov '04

In the DocBook documentation for Boost for configuring local XSL and DTD distributions it says that the DocBook DTD is at the OASIS DocBook site at http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/index.shtml . However clicking this link gets a Resource not found message on the Oasis web site. However using http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2 works for me, and http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbook-xml-4.2.zip is the actual zip file. Perhaps the document needs updating.

To me, it seems more like the Tetris game, but this connotation stuff is so tricky. Anyway, I've just forged anoher idea. Not that I like it much, but the idea is a little different and might please some --sort of ++ breaking the barrier of sound or something. BTW, I cannot edit the Boost Wiki, my usr or ip is blocked (??) I think it's gotta do with the fact I'm behind a corporate proxy. So, if some kind soul could upload this stuff for me I'd be eternally grateful. Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo
