Hi all I’m sorry with inconvenience with my last mail, it’s just my first to write in a mail list. I’ve fixed some issues with my code but now it may run completely, I would be thankful if anyone has some free time to give a feedback to my fixed code and tell me if any issues. code https://github.com/islam-taha/stdVector/blob/master/vector.cpp <https://github.com/islam-taha/stdVector/blob/master/vector.cpp> . thanks in advance Islam

I'm starting to write a caution to go in the release, and will make that point. A new test, "floating_point_test", has been added to the endian test suite. It will focus on interoperability. (I know that you are talking about users testing their application needs, but I want to test Boost.Endian to be able to warn users of areas where there are known issues.) > It should obviously be between all possible combinations of processor hardware types. It isn't just processor types. std::numeric_limits<float>::signaling_NaN() representation is 0x7fc00001 for Microsoft/Dinkumware, but is 0x7fa00000 for gcc and clang:-( > The test should include a range of floating-point values from min to max, > and include NaN and infinity unless it is certain that they will never occur. To get started, floating_point_test.cpp is testing float and double: numeric_limits<>::min() numeric_limits<>::max() numeric_limits<>::lowest() numeric_limits<>::epsilon() numeric_limits<>::round_error() numeric_limits<>::infinity() -numeric_limits<>::infinity() numeric_limits<>::quiet_NaN() numeric_limits<>::denorm_min() 0.0 -0.0 1.0 -1.0 native uint32_t 0x12345678U as a float native uint64_t 0x0123456789abcdefULL as a double pi<>() Are there other specific values worth testing?> (Unless very special precautions are taken, then infinity and NaN are like to rear their ugly heads > at some time - probably when you least want to see them!) > > It must be possible to 'round-trip' all floating-point values.

Could you provide the random number generation and otherwise help with this? I've only ever used integer RNGs. Thanks, --Beman

GSoC project
by Lulu C. Li 23 Mar '15

23 Mar '15

Hi! I wish to participate in GSoC this summer and I am very interested in Boost, in particular concurrent hash tables project. I am familiar with STL and worked on synchronization problems and concurrent processes in C. I can work on all the functionalities mentioned. What are other features that I should know for this project and proposal? Lulu

Test Runner: teeks99-08f - msvc-14.0 - Extra Define
by Tom Kent 23 Mar '15

23 Mar '15

The Test runner teeks99-08f has been running the msvc-14.0 - CTP 6 release for a bit now. It runs with the extra bjam option "define=BOOST_MSVC_ENABLE_2014_JUN_CTP". Is this still necessary? I was going through and updating some settings and I notices this was still there and was trying to decide if I should clean it up or not. Thanks, Tom

Application for GSOC 2015
by Alexandru Hulea 23 Mar '15

23 Mar '15

Hello, My name is Alexandru Hulea and I am an undergraduate student at University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest. I am in the third year at The Faculty of Automatic Control and Computers. My email can be found at [1]. About availability, I think 40 hours / week will be enough, but I will work more if the complexity of the project will require that. The only factors which will affect my availability will be the exams which are scheduled in the first 2 weeks of June. About my educational background, I took some courses related to the projects I apply including C Programming, Data Structures, OOP, Algorithms, Parallel and Distributed Algorithms. I participated in 2 summer schools working on a project in Android and on another project in OpenGL with C++. My favourite programming language is C++. I have 3 years experience in C/C++ and I am interested in scientific work like developing libraries of C++. I like to solve algorithms exercises, to find tricky optimisations for ACM exercises or other programming contests and recently I discover the wonderful world of parallel computing. I am interested in contributing to the Boost C++ Libraries because the project contains the parts of programming I like the most: optimisation and parallel programming. I have experience in C++ 98/03, 11/14, Standard Library and I worked with Git. Unfortunately I have no experience with Boost C++ Libraries. I like to work in Visual Studio on Windows and with Sublime Text and gcc, valgrind in Ubuntu. I am familiar only with JavaDoc speaking of software documentation. About the projects, I find interesting: "Concurrent Hash Tables", "Enhanced vector and deque containers" and "Boost uBLAS a library for matrix computations". I see these projects as optimisation and syncronization problems. My biggest projects are an OpenGL game written in C++ and a client-server application written in C++ too as a homework for the Protocols course. You can find them at [2]. About the application on the projects, could you tell me how I can show my skills in this field ? I searched for a section with a projects or some tests with bugs but I didn't find it. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you, Alexandru Hulea [1]: alexandru.hulea(a)gmail.com [2]: https://github.com/HuleaAlexandru/c-Projects

[GSoC] [Hana] Project proposal
by Louis Dionne 22 Mar '15

22 Mar '15

Dear Boost, I plan to participate to GSoC this summer with Hana as a project. Joel Falcou, my mentor of last year, kindly agreed to mentor me again this year if I make the cut. This year's project will be much more specific than last year's. Loosely speaking, the goal is to research compile-time associative data structures and to come up with a solution that's both compile-time efficient and which has a flexible interface. You can find the current version of my GSoC proposal at [1]. Please do not hesitate to make comments if you think some things can be improved, which is probably the case. I think my colllaboration with Boost was fruitful last year, and I really hope I can reiterate this year. Regards, Louis Dionne [1]: https://gist.github.com/ldionne/171e6301ecde63712d8a

Have we lost a bunch of testers recently?
by Peter Dimov 22 Mar '15

22 Mar '15

I'm looking at http://www.boost.org/development/tests/develop/developer/bind.html and I have the feeling that a bunch of columns that used to be there no longer are. I see no tests on OS X, for instance, no tests from Sandia at all, and very slim C++11 coverage. Is this related in some way to the cleanup of old test results perhaps?

[CrystaX.NET] [log] Test failures
by Andrey Semashev 22 Mar '15

22 Mar '15

Hi, There are quite a few test failures on CrystaX.NET x86 clang testsrs. Basically, there are two kinds of errors: 1. Compilation and linking succeeds but running the test fails due to missing ___tls_get_addr symbol. http://www.boost.org/development/tests/develop/developer/CrystaX-NET-apilev… 2. Linking fails due to missing symbols from iostreams for long double. http://www.boost.org/development/tests/develop/developer/CrystaX-NET-apilev… Are these known problems?
