[dll] trouble building boost dll with Intel compiler on Windows
by Blower, Melanie 09 Nov '16

09 Nov '16

Hello, We are having trouble building boost_dll version 1.61 with Intel compiler (version 17.0) on Windows with vs2015 (and other versions of visual studio). There's a problem because the macro configuration causes alias.hpp to use gnu-like syntax to specify section names: we don't support this syntax in our Windows compiler. Instead, we support "#pragma section" just like the Microsoft compiler. Alias.hpp would use the "correct" configuration for our Windows compiler "#if BOOST_COMP_MSVC" (reference the file boost/dll/alias.hpp) However, the file boost/predef/compiler/visualc.hpp sets BOOST_COMP_MSVC to BOOST_VERSION_NUMBER_ZERO which is 0 I propose that alias.hpp could use BOOST_COMP_MSVC_BUILD instead of BOOST_COMP_MSVC. Does that seem reasonable? Thanks and regards, Melanie Blower (I work for Intel on the Intel C++ compiler)

[fusion] trouble building boost fusion with Intel compiler on Windows and Linux

Hello, We are having trouble building boost_fusion version 1.61 with Intel compiler (version 17.0) on Linux, and on Windows with vs2015 (and other versions of visual studio). The problem can be fixed if I made this change to boost/fusion/container/vector/detail/config.hpp : // Sometimes, MSVC 12 shows compile error with std::size_t of template parameter . #if BOOST_WORKAROUND(BOOST_MSVC, BOOST_TESTED_AT(1800)) \ || BOOST_INTEL /* add this line */ # if defined(BOOST_FUSION_HAS_VARIADIC_VECTOR) # undef BOOST_FUSION_HAS_VARIADIC_VECTOR # endif #endif Symptom on Windows: ile ..\..\..\bin.v2\libs\fusion\test\fold.test\cc848a939769f1f7cf08091b8a228ddb\algorithm\fold.obj.rsp "algorithm\fold.cpp" -Fo"..\..\..\bin.v2\libs\fusion\test\fold.test\cc848a939769f1f7cf08091b8a228ddb\algorithm\fold.obj" -TP /Z7 /Od /Ob0 /W3 /GR /MDd /Zc:forScope /Zc:wchar_t /nologo /Qwn5 /Qwd985 -Qoption,c,--arg_dep_lookup /Qvc14 -Qpchi- /wd4675 /EHs -c -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1 "-I..\..\.." compile-c-c++ ..\..\..\bin.v2\libs\fusion\test\fold.test\cc848a939769f1f7cf08091b8a228ddb\algorithm\fold.obj icl @"..\..\..\bin.v2\libs\fusion\test\fold.test\cc848a939769f1f7cf08091b8a228ddb\algorithm\fold.obj.rsp" fold.cpp ../../../boost/fusion/container/vector/vector.hpp(71): error: namespace "boost::fusion::vector_detail::result_of" has no member "value_at_c" : boost::is_convertible<Sequence, typename result_of::value_at_c<This, 0>::type> ^ detected during: instantiation of class "boost::fusion::vector_detail::is_convertible_to_first<Sequence, This, <unnamed>> [with Sequence=int, This=boost::fusion::vector<int>, <unnamed>=1]" at line 305 instantiation of "boost::fusion::vector<T...>::vector(U &&...)

test: Initializiation of data test cases
by Florian Lindner 09 Nov '16

09 Nov '16

Hello, I would like to use data test cases. The problem that comes with that, is that I want to use objects that needs the application to be initialized before they are instantiated. Example is that an object that uses MPI needs to habe MPI_Init called before. This example code shows the order in which different hooks are run: #define BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK // #define BOOST_TEST_MAIN #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> #include <boost/test/data/test_case.hpp> #include <boost/test/data/monomorphic.hpp> #include <mpi.h> #include <iostream> #include <string> #include <vector> using namespace std; struct GlobalFixture { GlobalFixture() { cout << "GlobalFixture" << endl; } ~GlobalFixture() { } }; BOOST_GLOBAL_FIXTURE(GlobalFixture); struct Test : public std::string { // derive from string to get operator<< that boost requires Test() { cout << "Object to test" << endl; } }; namespace bdata = boost::unit_test::data; template <class T> class RuntimeDataset { public: using sample = typename T::value_type;; enum { arity = 1 }; T data; explicit RuntimeDataset(T _data) { cout << "Dataset constructor" << endl; data = _data; } bdata::size_t size() const { return data.size(); } typename T::const_iterator begin() const { return data.cbegin(); } }; namespace boost { namespace unit_test { namespace data { namespace monomorphic { template <class T> struct is_dataset<RuntimeDataset<T>> : boost::mpl::true_ {}; }}}} struct Fixture { Fixture() { cout << "Fixture" << endl; } }; BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE(MySuite) BOOST_DATA_TEST_CASE_F( Fixture, test1, RuntimeDataset<std::vector<Test>>( { Test() } ), // This should be evaluated when the test is about to run input) { BOOST_TEST(true); cout << "Data test case" << endl; } BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END() // initialization function: bool init_unit_test() { cout << "init_unit_test" << endl; return true; } // entry point: int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { cout << "main" << endl; int retCode = boost::unit_test::unit_test_main( &init_unit_test, argc, argv ); return retCode; } I've removed some code parts, but it should compile right away using mpic++ -std=c++11 -lboost_unit_test_framework boosttesting.cpp Its output is Object to test Dataset constructor main init_unit_test GlobalFixture Running 1 test case... Fixture Data test case *** No errors detected So, before I have any chance to do my own initialization code, the Test object and the dataset is constructed. I have posted this to the user mailing list, but still looking for a way to work around that. Do you have any idea how I can do initialization before data is instantiated? Thanks, Florian

cross-compiling linux->osx: file was built for archive which is not the architecture being linked (x86_64)
by Frédéric Bron 09 Nov '16

09 Nov '16

I am trying to cross-compile for osx from linux using clang. When I build boost, I use the following: CC="x86_64-apple-darwin13-clang" CFLAGS="-O2 -DNDEBUG" CXX="x86_64-apple-darwin13-clang++-libc++" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -DNDEBUG -std=c++14" AR="x86_64-apple-darwin13-ar" AS="x86_64-apple-darwin13-as" RANLIB="x86_64-apple-darwin13-ranlib" ./bootstrap.sh --without-icu --prefix=/softs/usr/darwin13-clang/release/boost --with-toolset=clang Then I use the following user-config.jam: using clang : : x86_64-apple-darwin13-clang++-libc++ : <cxxflags>-std=c++14 ; with the following command: ./b2 -d2 -j8 --layout=system --user-config=user-config.jam --without-mpi --without-python --without-context --without-coroutine link=static threading=multi runtime-link=shared target-os=darwin threadapi=pthread address-model=64 define=BOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB define=BOOST_LOG_WITHOUT_EVENT_LOG variant=release install Apart from a few errors, everythings looks fine: ...failed updating 3 targets... ...skipped 3 targets... ...updated 13684 targets... However, when I link against the static libraries that have been built, I get this type of messages: ld: warning: ignoring file /softs/usr/darwin13-clang/release/boost/lib/libboost_system.a, file was built for archive which is not the architecture being linked (x86_64): /softs/usr/darwin13-clang/release/boost/lib/libboost_system.a I suspect that it is because the wrong ar and ranlib where used because I find in my log that b2 used "ar" and "ranlib" instead of "x86_64-apple-darwin13-ar" and "x86_64-apple-darwin13-ranlib". So I changed my user-config.jam to: using clang : : x86_64-apple-darwin13-clang++-libc++ : <cxxflags>-std=c++14 <archiver>x86_64-apple-darwin13-ar <ranlib>x86_64-apple-darwin13-ranlib ; but b2 is still using "ar" and "ranlib". Any idea of what my problem is? Frédéric

Hi, Sorry if this is a dumb question but I have been looking for fixed point types in Boost and not found any... Yet I feel there must be... Thanks for any help Juan

[config] std::shuffle support
by Edward Diener 07 Nov '16

07 Nov '16

Does Boost config currently have a macro to determine whether the c++11 std::shuffle algorithm is supported for a particular compiler ? If not supporting /std:c++latest by changing std::random_shuffle to std::shuffle will not be possible for c++03 libraries.
