date_time test failure
by Rob Lievaart 16 Aug '04

16 Aug '04

L.S. The date_time test testfiletime_functions is failing on mingw 3.2 and 3.4 and on vc8.0 with the same error: ../libs/date_time/test/posix_time/testfiletime_functions.cpp:26: call of overloaded `pow(int, int)' is ambiguous The line in questions is: static_cast<int>(std::pow(10, time_duration::num_fractional_digits() - 3)); I changed the 10, to 10.0, to solve the ambiguity, locally and now the test compiles and passes. I attached a patch. Kind regards, Rob.

boost.regex v4 compilation issue on VC++ 6 (and correction suggestion)
by Baptiste Lepilleur 16 Aug '04

16 Aug '04

Compilation of boost regex v4 (from the CVS) fails with the following error under VC6: f:\projects\cpptool\cppparser_dependencies\cppparser\include\boost\regex\v4\ basic_regex.hpp(221) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ',' before '<' f:\projects\cpptool\cppparser_dependencies\cppparser\include\boost\regex\v4\ basic_regex.hpp(298) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::reg_expression<charT,traits,Allocator>' being compiled Looking at the sources (inside template reg_expression definition): bool BOOST_REGEX_CALL operator==(const reg_expression& e)const { return compare(e) == 0; } bool operator != (const basic_regex<charT, traits, Allocator>& e) // <<< *** error here *** { return compare(e) != 0; } basic_regex is defined later in the source, hence the compilation error. Also, the fact that operator == & != have different prototype is very suspicious... Using reg_expression instead or basic_regex would fix the error. Baptiste.

Review Wizard Status Report

15 Aug '04

Review Wizard Status Report 1) Summary 2) Review Managers Needed 3) Review Schedule 4) More IO Review - August 18, 2004 5) Iostreams Review - August 28, 2004 1) Summary The next three libraries under review extend the c++ iostreams framework through stream modifiers. Please be prepared to discuss these libraries in the coming weeks. The following links provide a good background to the c++ iostreams framework. CUJ Experts Forum Using IOStreams - Creating a Whole New Stream Class http://www.cuj.com/documents/s=7993/cujcexp1907reeves/ Using IOStreams, Part I http://www.cuj.com/documents/s=7999/cujcexp1901reeves/ Using IOStreams - Part II http://www.cuj.com/documents/s=7997/cujcexp1903reeves/ Curiously Recurring Manipulators http://www.cuj.com/documents/s=7994/cujcexp1906langer/ Using IOStreams - locales and facets http://www.cuj.com/documents/s=7995/cujcexp1905reeves/ Stringstreams and Their Friends http://www.cuj.com/documents/s=7996/cujcexp1904austern/ Books C++ Iostreams Handbook http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/ 0201596415/104-0023521-7921526?v=glance Standard C++ IOStreams and Locales http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/ 0201183951/ref=pd_sim_books_1/104-0023521-7921526?v=glance&s=books 2) Review Managers Needed I need help with the next three reviews. If you have experience with I/O related extensions, manipulators and stream buffers, please contact me through private email. 3) Review Schedule Confirmed Dates August 18, 2004 More IO - Daryle Walker (Review Manager Needed) August 28, 2004 Iostreams - Jonathan Turkanis (Review Manager Needed) Proposed Dates September 7, 2004 Output Formatters - Reece Dunn September 15, 2004 Mini-Review of small-algorithims from wiki September 17, 2004 Pointer Containers - Thorsten Ottosen September 27, 2004 Named Params - David Abrahams & Daniel Wallin October 6, 2004 Wave - Hartmut Kaiser October 16, 2004 Policy Pointer - David Held October 26, 2004 Finite State Machine (FSM) - Andreas Huber 4) More IO Review - August 18, 2004, Daryle Walker This library still needs a review manager. Download: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/more_io_4.zip Provides a multitude of I/O-oriented extensions. Some are extra manipulators; variants of "std::endl", a resetting manipulator, and a configurable manipulator. The library includes a set of base class templates for wrapping a new stream-buffer type around a stream class. Changes from the last interim version (called "more_io_3b.zip"): * split the manipulator header into several headers * refined the license statements in some already-affected files Changes from the first formal review (called "more_io.zip"): * refined the interface and implementation of array-streams and stream-buffer wrappers (including a wrapping example) * added the null-stream, value-stream, and pointer-stream headers * added generalizations to the new-line and skip-line manipulators * added the non-oriented 'reset' and 'form' manipulators * split the manipulator header into several headers * changed the license statements 5) Iostreams Review - August 28, 2004, Jonathan Turkanis This library still needs a review manager. Web-Page: http://home.comcast.net/~jturkanis/iostreams Download: http://home.comcast.net/~jturkanis/iostreams The Iostreams Library serves two main purposes: To allow the easy creation of standard C++ stream and stream buffer classes for new data sources and sinks. To provide a convenient interface for defining i/o filters and attaching them to standard streams and stream buffers. The library focuses on freeing users from writing boiler plate code and allowing them instead to create highly reusable components. In addition to providing an abstract framework the library provides a number of concrete filters, sources and sinks which serve as example applications of the library but are also useful in their own right. These include components for accessing memory-mapped files (based on work of Craig Henderson) , for file access via operating system file descriptors, for code conversion, for text filtering with regular expressions, for line-ending conversion and for compression and decompression in the zlib, gzip and bzip2 formats.

Boost Software License Progress As Of 20040814
by Stephan T. Lavavej 15 Aug '04

15 Aug '04

http://stl.nuwen.net/bsl2.html (didn't try to cover python and serialization - did they get fixed yet?) Progress is awesome! However, there's still low-hanging fruit, and there's still some work to be done: * Authors We Need For The BSL "John R Bandela" is in blanket-permission.txt as "John Bandela". "Robert Ramey - http www rrsd com" is in blanket-permission.txt as "Robert Ramey". "Thorsten Ottosen" is in blanket-permission.txt as "Thorsten Jørgen Ottosen". It should be really easy to take care of these aliases. * See the "Old style Boost licence #8" - bcp is getting /terribly/ confused about the file boost/archive/impl/basic_xml_grammar.hpp . * There are 86 files with no recognizable license information, and 247 with no recognizable copyright holder. The latter are all MPL though. * The 20 files that have been automatically BSLed look good to me - no obvious munging, though I don't know if I should be looking for anything specific. * There are still 641 files that have not been BSLed (I think this category is disjoint from no-license and no-copyright). Compare this to the 4738 BSLed files! Whoo! Is bcp being enhanced to annotate which Boost modules are entirely BSLed and which aren't yet? This could go in the Input Information section; each module could have a tag saying "Not BSLed", "BSLed, But Dependent On Modules Not BSLed", and "BSLed". Also I don't know if my technique of getting bcp to report on all directory names in boost/libs is catching everything or not. Stephan T. Lavavej [I'm just a Booster, I don't speak for Microsoft]

Here are the files affected: boost/cast.hpp: Kevlin Henney and Dave Abrahams boost/checked_delete.hpp: Peter Dimov Daniel Frey Howard Hinnant boost/integer_fwd.hpp: Dave Abrahams. boost/math_fwd.hpp: Dave Abrahams. boost/smart_ptr.hpp: Peter Dimov libs/conversion/cast_test.cpp: Beman Dawes, Dave Abrahams. libs/utility/noncopyable_test.cpp: Beman Dawes.

[Info] Updated Boost.org copyrights
by John Maddock 15 Aug '04

15 Aug '04

We agreed a while ago that the "Boost.org" copyrights should be removed from source files (on the grounds that there is no legal entity called Boost.org) So, the following files have had their copyright declarations updated as below, copyright assignments are based on cvs history. If I have either: missed your name off the list, or added your name when you don't think that it should be there, then please speak up now. Here's the list of assignments (so far): boost/io_fwd.hpp: Beman Dawes and Daryle Walker boost/iterator.hpp: Beman Dawes boost/limits.hpp: John Maddock, Dave Abrahams. boost/mpl/if.hpp: Aleksey Gurtovoy boost/next_prior.hpp: Aleksey Gurtovoy boost/noncopyable.hpp: Beman Dawes boost/numeric/conversion/cast.hpp: Fernando Luis Cacciola Carballal boost/utility.hpp Aleksey Gurtovoy boost/utility_fwd.hpp: Beman Dawes boost/version.hpp: John Maddock Thanks, John Maddock.
