I noticed, the package consists of intermediate files from docs generation process of Boost.Geometry: /libs/geometry/doc/doxy/doxygen_output/html_by_doxygen /libs/geometry/doc/doxy/doxygen_output/xml May I ask how documentation of individual library makes it into the package? /libs/geometry/doc/Jamfile.v2 calls our custom make_qbk.py script which is known to not to do any post-generation clean-ups of intermediate files. Shall we add such cleanup to make_qbk.py or it is not relevant for release process? Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net

[gsoc17]Dynamic Shortest Path Computation
by A.I 28 Mar '17

28 Mar '17

Hi, everyone, I am Donghyuk Kim, a Ph.D. Student at KAIST(Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) in South Korea. I've been studying motion/path planning algorithm and I'd like to contribute to a specific algorithm, "Dynamic Shortest Path Computation" in Boost graph library as a google summer code project. It is a tree-based data structure for maintaining single-source to all destination shortest path. It is also known that it outperforms the recomputation of Dijkstra or A* where insertion and deletion of vertex/edge can frequently happen. Here you can check my brief CV including educational/programming background and my interests. https://www.linkedin.com/in/donghyuk-kim-54223355/ Most of my source codes (research/project-purpose things) are in a private repository by our policy, for this reason, the only thing I can share is the below one: https://github.com/aidyk/SGMP The concept of "Dynamic Shortest Path Computation" was originally introduced in [Fully Dynamic Algorithms for Maintaining Shortest Paths Trees] by D. Frigioni, et al. (http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=338900) I've already implemented a prototype for my research, but testing, coding style unification and much more c++ style modification are required for general purpose. I hope someone find it interesting and be a mentor in this journey. Thanks in advance!

Going insane trying to build boost for android
by Robert Dailey 26 Mar '17

26 Mar '17

How many months has it been of lost google searching, trying to beat b2 into submission. I have no idea at this point how to build boost for Android. Really hoping I get some help here... So to start, here are the versions I'm using: - Android NDK r14b - Boost 1.63.0 I'm doing all of this on Windows 10, through command prompt. I want to use clang and libc++ to build boost for API 15. I figure the easiest way is to generate a standalone toolchain using the NDK, so I did that first: > %ANDROID_NDK%\build\tools\make_standalone_toolchain.py --arch arm --api 15 --stl libc++ "C:\android\_toolchains\arm-api-15" This generated the appropriate toolchain (I think). I then temporarily added this location to PATH: > set PATH=C:\android\_toolchains\arm-api-15\bin;%PATH% Then I ran bootstrap: > bootstrap.bat --with-toolset=clang Then I tried to build boost itself: > b2 --toolset=clang cxxflags="-stdlib=libc++ -std=c++14" threadapi=pthread --prefix=..\boost_android_arm --builddir=./ target-os=linux define=BOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION=3 --without-python link=static runtime-link=shared threading=multi variant=release install -j8 However I get failures when it tries to run the clang command: 'C:\code\_third_party\boost_1_63_0\\clang38++.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command I'm not sure why it's appending that absolute path (that's where my current directory is set to, and where boost source is). It should just be trying to use "clang++" but doesn't look like it is. >From the output, it looks like it's trying to use clang correctly I think: "clang++" -c -x c++ -stdlib=libc++ -std=c++14 -O3 -Wno-inline -Wall -pthread -stdlib=libc++ -std=c++14 -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1 -DBOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION=3 -DBOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB=1 -DNDEBUG -I"." -o "bin.v2\libs\wave\build\clang-linux-android\release\link-static\target-os-linux\threadapi-pthread\threading-multi\cpplexer\re2clex\aq.o" "libs\wave\src\cpplexer\re2clex\aq.cpp" Am I going about this all wrong? How in the heck can I build boost for android using the settings I specified above?

[SIMD] Pre-review questions
by Artyom Beilis 26 Mar '17

26 Mar '17

Hello, I have several questions regarding Boost.SIMD (for pre-review) 1. What is boost::simd::pack::storage_type I can't find it in documentation. Is it the "native register" like __m128i for pack<int,4>? If the answer is no, how do I get access to underlying type? 2. I can't find in documentation how to performs casts between different types: I see in docs split_low (actually after I grepped for _mm_unpacklo) but I failed to find how to use one - there is no documentation regarding conversion/casting operation or at least I failed to find one. 3. Is there more convenient way to perform basic saturated operation for example if I want to calc abs diff of two bs::pack<unsigned char,16> values a,b I need to write bs::saturated_(be::minus)(a,b) + bs::saturated_(bs::minus)(b,a) It is quite inconvenient especially when most of operations you want to do are saturated. 4. Why Boost.SIMD is restricted to C++11? Most of the stuff is implementable withing C++2003, it severely limits the usability of the library for existing projects that can't trivially switch to new C++ standard (and there are too many in the "real world" industry) Thanks, Artyom

[asio]ssl::detail::stream_core is accessed after destruction
by Takatoshi Kondo 26 Mar '17

26 Mar '17

Hello, I'm using Boost.Asio. I compiled some TLS client with clang address sanitizer. (I attached the result the last part of this mail.) It indicates that the following `expires_at` member function calling is bad: https://github.com/boostorg/asio/blob/boost-1.63.0/include/boost/asio/ssl/d… So I insert debug print "stream_core() address" to the constructor of ssl::detail::stream_core https://github.com/boostorg/asio/blob/boost-1.63.0/include/boost/asio/ssl/d… "~stream_core() address" to the destructor, https://github.com/boostorg/asio/blob/boost-1.63.0/include/boost/asio/ssl/d… and "io stream_core address of core_" to `expires_at` calling point: https://github.com/boostorg/asio/blob/boost-1.63.0/include/boost/asio/ssl/d… And then, I got the following result: stream_core() 0x6120012beb60 constructor ~stream_core() 0x6120012ca6e0 connected. previous session = false stream_core() 0x6120012ba060 ~stream_core() 0x6120012beb60 destructor io stream_core 0x6120012beb60 call Is seems that `expires_at` at https://github.com/boostorg/asio/blob/boost-1.63.0/include/boost/asio/ssl/d… is called after core_ 's destructor is called. The problem happens a part of big project. The client connects to the server as TLS-stream, then server shutdown the stream, then client connects again. The program does the sequence repeatedly. The error happens the client side. I'm trying to write a minimal and complete code that reproduces the problem, but not yet. So I report the result only as the first report.

Re: [boost] Formal Review Request: mp11
by Bjorn Reese 25 Mar '17

25 Mar '17

On 03/17/2017 03:06 PM, Peter Dimov via Boost wrote: > https://github.com/pdimov/mp11/ A few comments... Most algorithms take the typelist as the first argument, but others do not, e.g. mp_transform<F, L...>. If possible, I would like to see all algorithms take typelist as the first argument. It looks like the current order is dictated by the requirements of mp_tranform_impl. Would it be possible to swap the types where the algorithm is declared? For example: template<class L, template<class...> class F> using mp_transform = typename detail::mp_transform_impl<F, L>::type; Apropos mp_transform, would it be possible to extend it such that we can pass a type-trait directly to it? For example: using const_list = mp_transform<std::add_const, typelist>; instead of using std::add_const_t. The reason I ask is that I have lots of my own domain-specific type-traits that does not come with a _t version, so this is mainly for convenience. The reference documentation is a bit terse and obscure. For example, the documentation for mp_find tells us in a convoluted way that it returns the index of a type in a typelist. It could also mention that it is the dual algorithm to mp_at, which returns a type at an index in a typelist.
