Hi Everyone, I can see that the pull request I submitted at https://github.com/boostorg/functional almost three months ago has not been acted upon. Is the library still maintained? Regards, &rzej

[test] Problems with UTF-8 paths in GIT.
by Rene Rivera 05 Jan '15

05 Jan '15

This commit < https://github.com/boostorg/filesystem/commit/785d521b54140763dd23ef091a18d…> is causing me some problems with some git clients. In particular the git client in Eclipse errors out with some unsupported / invalid messages. I know why those dir names are the way they are.. But we still are supposed to follow the naming rules we agreed to < http://www.boost.org/development/requirements.html#Directory_structure>. -- -- Rene Rivera -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Robot Dreams - http://robot-dreams.net -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail

[githelp] Delete/hide branch..
by Rene Rivera 05 Jan '15

05 Jan '15

In cleaning up the "regression" subrepo.. I'm wanting to delete or hide the master branch as it: has horribly outdated code, and I'm only going to ever edit the develop branch. How do I delete or hide a branch? -- -- Rene Rivera -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Robot Dreams - http://robot-dreams.net -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail

[build,quickbook] complete doxygen output
by Gennadiy Rozental 05 Jan '15

05 Jan '15

> Maybe you can ask a separate thread, describing > what you want, so that Boost.Book experts notice it more easily? Hi, Per Vlad suggestion I am creating a separate thread about this. It should probably go into documentation list as well, but I am not sure how to do this in gmane interface > I would like to help, but Boost.Build only runs doxygen and then invokes > various XSLT tarnsforms. Everything else is either doxygen itself, or > Boost.Book, where I can only make trivial tweaks. What I am after is alternative rule, which will not try to make quickbook like output out of doxygen, but instead just leave it alone. So I need to run doxygen place the output somewhere and somehow point my quickbook based docs to that output. How would the Boost.Build rule look like? > What do you mean by 'bind' here? I want to bind references to class/function/module names to entries in generated doxygen docs. I am fine with some quickbook template I can apply, but automation would be even better. Gennadiy

libraries.json missing boost-version, update-version
by Peter Dimov 05 Jan '15

05 Jan '15

I notice that the library list at the website has a "First Release"entry for each library; these apparently come from the tag <boost-version> in libraries.xml, which also has an <update-version>. The meta/libraries.json files, however, appear to have no such data. Is this intentional?

[build] Tests automatically create header links, but library builds do not
by Peter Dimov 05 Jan '15

05 Jan '15

If I remove my boost/ directory, and attempt to build, for example, atomic, by going into libs/atomic/build and invoking b2, it fails due to a missing header: D:\tmp2\libs\atomic\build>b2 toolset=msvc-8.0 ...found 1 target... ...updating 1 target... msvc.write-setup-script C:\Users\PETERD~1\AppData\Local\Temp\b2_msvc_8.0_vcvarsall_x86.cmd ...updated 1 target... ...found 1 target... ...updating 1 target... msvc.write-setup-script C:\Users\PETERD~1\AppData\Local\Temp\b2_msvc_8.0_vcvarsall_x86_amd64.cmd ...updated 1 target...

However, if I go into, say, libs/smart_ptr/test and invoke b2 there, it works: D:\tmp2\libs\smart_ptr\test>b2 toolset=msvc-8.0 ...found 1 target... ...updating 1 target... msvc.write-setup-script C:\Users\PETERD~1\AppData\Local\Temp\b2_msvc_8.0_vcvarsa ll_x86.cmd ...updated 1 target... ...found 1 target... ...updating 1 target... msvc.write-setup-script C:\Users\PETERD~1\AppData\Local\Temp\b2_msvc_8.0_vcvarsa ll_x86_amd64.cmd ...updated 1 target...

My first thought was that this was due to the fact that I was missing libs/Jamfile.v2 (I do various "clean" installations as an experiment to see what's needed and what isn't), but I put it back there and it doesn't help.

Linux regression test runners - What do devs want?
by Tom Kent 05 Jan '15

05 Jan '15

I've been pondering this recently, but a forced upgrade of my azure VMs last night is pressing the issue...and I wanted to solicit feedback before I go and set things back up... I've currently been running three testing machines for linux, with several testers on each, (windows is completely separate, and I'm happy with how that is running)...here was my past strategy: teeks99-03 - develop - lots of compiler versions (all I could get to run on ubuntu 12.04: gcc-4.4-4.8, clang-3.0-3.4) teeks99-04 - develop - only two compilers, with fast turnaround times (gcc-4.8, clang-3.4) teeks99-05 - master - lots of compiler versions (all I could get to run on ubuntu 12.04: gcc-4.4-4.8, clang-3.0-3.4) I can try to set things up like this again, but there are two reasons I was thinking about changing: 1) It seems that a lot of the gcc/clang versions have the same pass/fail results as the other versions of that compiler, so we're not adding a ton (though we may be adding the crucial points where a compiler change breaks something...is this something that devs have seen in practice?) 2) The new version of my runners (Ubuntu 14.04) doesn't easily support the old gcc versions, it would take a lot of effort to get some of the old ones running. Clang is even worse...it is much more difficult to get even two versions running side by side now. Instead of running lots of different versions, I was thinking about running various compatibility options of the two main compilers...I've seen some other test runners with things like libc++, c++11, c++14, etc. My real question, would developers be better served by these options than different versions? Would they prefer both with longer revisit times between each test type? Other thoughts? Tom

Hello, I am new to Boost. I'm fairly well at C++ and am programming since the last 6 months. I would like to contribute to its development. Can someone please help me out? I had a look at the website but I am unable to find bugs that are suitable for beginners. Thanks!
