[Hana] Formal review dates
by Louis Dionne 17 Apr '15

17 Apr '15

Dear Boost, As I already announced in a previous message, a formal review is about to be asked for Hana. The current preferred dates would be April 25 - May 8. However, we are concerned that people might be unavailable to do reviews such a short time before C++Now. The goal of this message is to ask potential reviewers whether they would be available during the proposed period. If people seem unfavorable or if there is too little feedback to this message, we will consider pushing back the review to after C++Now. Note that one reason why I'm trying to squeeze the review before C++Now is because it could hugely help with marketing the library if it was accepted. Regards, Louis

I guess that is a bug in boost. One thing you could try...in interprocess's win32_api.hpp, there is another implementation of get_last_bootup_time() which uses WMI instead of the event log (there were warnings in the source about WMI not supporting hibernation/clock changes correctly, so beware). If you define BOOST_INTERPROCESS_BOOTSTAMP_IS_LASTBOOTUPTIME it should use that other version...give that a try. (in visual studio Project Properties -> C/C++ -> Preprocessor -> Preprocessor Definitions: add a semi colon ';' then the above item) That worked for me on windows 7. I submitted a pull request to automatically fallback to WMI if the event log started event isn't in the log. https://github.com/boostorg/interprocess/pull/18 Tom

[serialization] failing MPI build
by Alain Miniussi 16 Apr '15

16 Apr '15

Hi, Am I the only one with a (global) failing build on MPI ? ../../../boost/archive/detail/interface_oarchive.hpp(63): error: no instance of overloaded function "boost::mpi::detail::content_oarchive::save_override" matches the argument list argument types are: (const boost::archive::tracking_type) object type is: boost::mpi::detail::content_oarchive this->This()->save_override(t); I am going to investigate, but maybe I missed something obvious. Thanks Alain

std::map<> - like structure for other than std::pair<>?
by David Hagood 16 Apr '15

16 Apr '15

Several times I have run into a use case where I have some object that I would like to access via something like a std::map<>, but which already contains a member that I would like to use as a key. Is there any data structure that "acts like a map", but instead of storing std::pair<key,value> allows me to store an object directly, and specify what member of that object is the key value? I can give a specific use case for this: For those of you not familiar with the SCA, there is an object called CF::Properties. This is a CORBA sequence (think std::vector) of objects of {string name, CORBA::Any value}, used to store metadata. Ideally, I'd like to have an object that I could initialize from that sequence that would allow me to do things like this: inline string &getKey(CF::Property &x) { return x.name; } void foo(CF::Properties &meta) { mapLikeThing<CF::Property,getKey> myMap(meta); double sampleRate; myMap["SampleRate"] >> sampleRate; setHardwareSampleRate(sampleRate); }

htmlspecialchars and urlencode?

Hi, Does Boost have functions like htmlspecialchars and urlencode (from PHP)? If not, I think they'd make a nice addition to the string algorithm lib. -- Olaf

boost::posix_time::duration_from_string throws std::out_of_range
by George Georgiev 13 Apr '15

13 Apr '15

Hi, I just noticed that boost::posix_time::duration_from_string throws std::out_of_range when I pass empty string to it. This seems like a bug, IMHO it should throw boost::bad_lexical_cast as it does for any other problem with the input. Thanks, George

Git tags and Boost release
by Robert Ramey 12 Apr '15

12 Apr '15

I look in my history of the master branch and It seems to me I would like to be able to know which commit corresponds to which Boost release. I think the correct functionality to do this is described here. http://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Basics-Tagging I'm wondering if we want to do this upon release so we can remember where we were when something blows up. Ideally, I'd like the release managers to be able to just global to the "mark" when the release is "official" I like git - but anything I haven't done before is out of my comfort zone. So any insight would be appreciated.
