Fit: C++ function utility library
by pfultz2 05 Nov '14

05 Nov '14

Hi, I developed a library called Fit, that provides a lot of utilites for dealing with function objects, here: https://github.com/pfultz2/Fit First, it provides a mechanism to construct function objects at compile time using lambdas, for example: const constexpr auto sum = FIT_STATIC_LAMBDA(auto x, auto y) { return x + y; }; Secondly, it provides lots of adaptors to provide "enhancements" to the function. For example, we could make the sum function pipable: const constexpr auto sum = pipable(FIT_STATIC_LAMBDA(auto x, auto y) { return x + y; }); Then call it like this: auto three = 1 | sum(2); Or we could make it an infix operator: const constexpr auto sum = infix(FIT_STATIC_LAMBDA(auto x, auto y) { return x + y; }); And then use it like this: auto three = 1 <sum> 2; Also, it provides the basic partial application and function composition: auto add_1 = partial(sum)(1); auto add_2 = compose(add_1, add_1); auto four = add_2(1); Now, the greatest benifit is being to do better overloading and even recursive functions using lambdas. So, for example, if we wanted to write a more sophisticated `print` function that iterated over ranges and fusion sequences recursively, and printed it all out, we can write this using the Fit library: // Some helpers for template constraints #define REQUIRES(...) typename std::enable_if<(decltype(__VA_ARGS__)()), int>::type = 0 template<template<class...> class Trait, class... Ts> constexpr auto trait(Ts&&...) { return std::integral_constant<bool, Trait<std::remove_reference_t<Ts>...>::value>(); } const constexpr auto print = fix(conditional( // Overload for strings FIT_STATIC_LAMBDA(auto, const std::string& x) { std::cout << x << std::endl; }, // Overload for fusion sequences FIT_STATIC_LAMBDA(auto self, const auto& seq, REQUIRES(trait<boost::fusion::traits::is_sequence>(seq))) { boost::fusion::for_each(seq, self); }, // Overload for ranges FIT_STATIC_LAMBDA(auto self, const auto& range, REQUIRES(trait<boost::has_range_const_iterator>(range))) { for(const auto& x:range) self(x); }, // Overload for anything else FIT_STATIC_LAMBDA(auto, const auto& x) { std::cout << x << std::endl; } )); The documentation for it can be found here: http://pfultz2.github.io/Fit/doc/html/ Any feedback would be appreciated. Also, I don't know if there would be any interest in incorporating this into boost.

[Spirit] Lex context and lexer states
by "Claas H. Köhler" 04 Nov '14

04 Nov '14

Hi! Reading the documentation regarding the context object passed by spirit lex I got a little confused: According to the quick ref for semantic actions, http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_57_0/libs/spirit/doc/html/spirit/lex/abstra… the context contains functions std::size_t get_state() const and void set_state(std::size_t state). So I presumed the state to be an object of type size_t. However, according to the reference section on lexer concepts http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_57_0/libs/spirit/doc/html/spirit/lex/refere… the Lexer state is specified in string form. So my question is: Do both representations exist (i.e. as string & size_t) and can be mapped to each other ? If so, how? Or do I control the desired type via a template parameter ? Are there any examples in the docs containing different lexer states, which could help me to understand the concept ? Any help would be appreciated. Regards Claas

Code review for bug no. 5702
by ullas srinivas 04 Nov '14

04 Nov '14

Hi, I have fixed bug no. 5702 Bug # 5702 : Filename isreturned within quotes instead without Description : In the reference (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_47_0/libs/filesystem/v3/doc/reference.html#…) it issaid that for example the filename returned by filename() will be without thequotes: std::cout <<path("/foo/bar.txt").filename(); //outputs "bar.txt" (without the quotes) But actually I'm getting anoutput with the filename enclosed in quotes like: "bar.txt" I'm using Windows Vista. Root Cause : Thefilename within quotes are due to printing of os << delim ; statement in template <class Char, classTraits, class Alloc> std::basic_ostream<Char,Traits>& basic_string_inserter_imp(std::basic_ostream<Char, Traits>&os, std::basic_string<Char, Traits, Alloc> const& string, Char escape, Char delim) of boost\io\detail\quoted_manip.hpp Fix : I have commented/removed os << delim; statementin template <class Char, classTraits, class Alloc> std::basic_ostream<Char,Traits>& basic_string_inserter_imp(std::basic_ostream<Char, Traits>&os, std::basic_string<Char, Traits,Alloc> const & string, Char escape, Chardelim) of boost\io\detail\quoted_manip.hpp I kindly request you to please find the patch file attached and review the bug.

by Boris Schäling 03 Nov '14

03 Nov '14

Just a quick announcement: The 2nd edition of my book "The Boost C++ Libraries" is available. - It introduces 72 Boost libraries. - It contains more than 430 examples. - The print version has about 570 pages. - There is also a Kindle, Epub and PDF version. - It's even online: <http://theboostcpplibraries.com/> A special "thank you" goes to Niall who handled this year's Google Summer of Code program so smoothly that I as a backup admin didn't need to do anything - and had enough time to work on the book. :) Boris

[gci2014] Calling for Google Code In 2014 tasks and mentors
by Niall Douglas 03 Nov '14

03 Nov '14

Dear Boost, Google Code In 2014 is nearly upon us, and we need bite sized tasks and mentors! Google Code In lasts between December and mid-January and is for 13 to 17 year olds to get involved with open source projects. Tasks need to be very short, maybe only three hours or so, but correspondingly the effort required to mentor/check these is very low. If you maintain a Boost library and could do with help in fixing up any of those items you keep putting off like replicating bug reports, fixing documentation errors, or configuring Continuous Integration, now is the time! More information is on the GCI ideas page at: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/gci2014 ... where you can add more tasks and also sign yourself up as a mentor. We need this page ready by Saturday 8th November, so please try to get it done before then. Thanks in advance!

Enhancing regression tests summary
by Adam Wulkiewicz 31 Oct '14

31 Oct '14

Hi, Some time ago I was writing about regression summaries enhancements, that I'd be nice to see more meaningful list of errors, etc. I asked questions, even prepared a PR for regression, to no avail. So I developed a simple program downloading summaries, test logs and saving the enhanced result. You may check it out here: https://github.com/awulkiew/summary-enhancer Regards, Adam
