[safe_numerics] One more review
by Antony Polukhin 11 Mar '17

11 Mar '17

- What is your evaluation of the design? Looks good, simple to use. I'd like to see an additional statefull ExceptionPolicy that remembers that an UB was triggered, but does not throw at all. Here's how it could be used: bool try_do_something(int& out) noexcept { using namespace boost::numeric; safe<int, native, lazy> x = INT_MAX; // remembers that error was triggered ++x; // ... other operations on `x` // ... if (!x.no_errors()) { // One of the operations triggered UB return false; } out = x; return true; } - What is your evaluation of the implementation? Checked a few border cases that I'm aware of. All of them were taken care of in the library. Nitpicks: Missing BOOST_NORETURN in multiple places, for example https://github.com/robertramey/safe_numerics/blob/master/include/exception_… . Adding that attribute may result in better code generation and in warnings suppression. std::is_literal_type type trait is deprecated since C++17 https://github.com/robertramey/safe_numerics/blob/master/include/interval.h… More generic streaming operators could be profitable (better to use basic_ostream<Char, Trait> instead of ostream) https://github.com/robertramey/safe_numerics/blob/master/include/interval.h… Many operations may be decorated with noexcept This macro seems broken https://github.com/robertramey/safe_numerics/blob/master/include/safe_liter… . Also looks like this class is not covered well with tests, because line https://github.com/robertramey/safe_numerics/blob/master/include/safe_liter… shall not compile There's a bunch of implicit conversions in the library https://github.com/robertramey/safe_numerics/blob/master/include/safe_base.… (BTW, have not found a body of this one). Would it be better to make them explicit? Those headers are very heavy https://github.com/robertramey/safe_numerics/blob/7ee656ecdf23f6f29f9333176… Try using <iosfwd> and making all the function below to use `basic_ostream<Char, Trait>&`. No need to define those in `namespace std` https://github.com/robertramey/safe_numerics/blob/7ee656ecdf23f6f29f9333176… . Defining those in `boost::numeric` namespace works fine (thanks to ADL!). I'd really like to see tests coverage for the library. This is pretty simple to add, just follow the instructions from here: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/TravisCoverals - What is your evaluation of the documentation? Good, very interesting examples. - What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library? Useful. I was dealing with such problems in Boost.LexicalCast. - Did you try to use the library? With what compiler? Did you have any problems? Have not tried. - How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A quick reading? In-depth study? About two hours of reading source code and docs. - Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain? A little bit, not an expert. - Do you think the library should be accepted as a Boost library? Yes, the library should be accepted. -- Best regards, Antony Polukhin

[safe_numerics] Formal review starts today
by Andrzej Krzemienski 11 Mar '17

11 Mar '17

Hi Everyone, Today, on March 2nd (or tomorrow, depending on your timezone), is the start of the formal review of safe_numerics library by Robert Ramey. The review will run till March 11th. I will be serving as review manager. safe_numerics is a set of drop-in replacements for the built-in integer types, which make the guarantee that the results of operations are either correct according to the rules of integer arithmetic or report a diagnosable error (rather than offering modulo arithmetic results, or resulting in undefined behavior, or returning incorrect results as in the case of signed vs. unsigned comparisons). The library can be found on GitHub: https://github.com/robertramey/safe_numerics/ Online docs: http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/robertramey/safe_numerics/ master/doc/html/index.html Formal Review comments can be posted publicly on the mailing list or Boost Library Incubator <http://blincubator.com>, or sent privately to the review manager, that is myself. Here are some questions you might want to answer in your review: - What is your evaluation of the design? - What is your evaluation of the implementation? - What is your evaluation of the documentation? - What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library? - Did you try to use the library? With what compiler? Did you have any problems? - How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A quick reading? In-depth study? - Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain? And most importantly: Do you think the library should be accepted as a Boost library? For more information about Boost Formal Review Process, see: http://www.boost.org/community/reviews.html Your review is needed! Regards, Andrzej Krzemieński, review manager.

[safe_numerics] Last three days
by Andrzej Krzemienski 11 Mar '17

11 Mar '17

Hi Everyone, We have three last days remaining for safe_numerics review (till March 11th). If you like working under time pressure, this is the perfect moment for doing your review. If you would like to submit your review, but feel you will not make it till March 11th, let me know, we can try to extend the review period. Currently, I recorder three reviews with a yes/no call, from Paul A. Bristow and Steven Watanabe, and one without a yes/no call from Vicente J. Botet Escriba. If you have submitted a review, but were not mentioned in my list, please let me know: it means I must have missed it. ----- safe_numerics is a set of drop-in replacements for the built-in integer types, which make the guarantee that the results of operations are either correct according to the rules of integer arithmetic or report a diagnosable error (rather than offering modulo arithmetic results, or resulting in undefined behavior, or returning incorrect results as in the case of signed vs. unsigned comparisons).

IPC: compiler optimization related issues
by Robert 11 Mar '17

11 Mar '17

Hi! Before creating a bug in trac, would you accept issues related to compiler optimization (-O2 and -O3) flags? I have a very specific issue with an inter-process mutex (race condition), but it can be reproduced only when flag O2 or higher is being used during compilation. Thank you!

[Endian] Reading/writing from/to byte buffers
by Olaf van der Spek 10 Mar '17

10 Mar '17

Hi, One often needs to read or write values from/to a buffer while having a pointer. Could you support this? I guess one could use *reinterpret_cast<big_int64_buf_t&>(*p) but I think functions would be more convenient. On second guess one probably has to use memcpy rather then reinterpret_cast. The functions are probably implemented already but aren't exposed. https://github.com/boostorg/endian/issues/17 -- Olaf

by Raffi Enficiaud 10 Mar '17

10 Mar '17

Hi all, The regression dashboard is truncated, I should see many more tests here: http://www.boost.org/development/tests/develop/developer/test.html at least as many as for the master branch: http://www.boost.org/development/tests/master/developer/test.html Any idea? Raffi
