Movable but not copyable bug?
by Mostafa 26 Aug '14

26 Aug '14

I had posted this on the user's list but I think this should be brought to the attention of the developers. The following code contains a templated copy constructible Boost.Move enabled class (Bar) with a single non-copy constructible Boost.Enabled member (Foo). If Bar's copy constructor is not explicitly defined then the code compiles with both g++ 4.8.2 and VS2005, else if it's explicitly defined then it fails to compile on g++ 4.8.2 I think this is due to the fact that g++ 4.8.2 erroneously instantiates Bar's default copy constructor in the latter case. Is this a Boost.Move bug or a gcc bug? #include <boost/move/core.hpp> #include <boost/move/utility.hpp> struct Foo { Foo(int x, int y) {} Foo(BOOST_RV_REF(Foo) rhs) {} private: //Purposefully declared and not defined. Foo & operator=(Foo); private: BOOST_MOVABLE_BUT_NOT_COPYABLE(Foo) }; template <typename T> struct Bar { Bar() : f(0, 1) {} // (1) //Bar(Bar const & rhs) //: f(rhs.f) //{} Bar(BOOST_RV_REF(Bar) rhs) : f(::boost::move(rhs.f)) {} private: //Purposefully declared and not defined. Bar & operator=(Bar); private: BOOST_COPYABLE_AND_MOVABLE(Bar) private: T f; }; Foo f1() { return Foo(0, 1); } Bar<Foo> f2() { return Bar<Foo>(); } int main() { // Foo f( f1() ); Bar<Foo> b(( Bar<Foo>() )); // Bar<Foo> b1; // Bar<Foo> b2(b1); return 0; }

[Range] compilation error with mfc-iteration-support
by Tobias Loew 26 Aug '14

26 Aug '14

Hi, moving parts of range_const_iterator to the namespace range_detail in file boost/range/const_iterator.hpp leads to ambiguity in /range/detail/mfc.hpp line 747: 25>..\src\libs\boost\boost\boost/range/mfc.hpp(747): error C2872: 'range_const_iterator' : ambiguous symbol 25> could be '..\src\libs\boost\boost\boost/range/const_iterator.hpp(67) : boost::range_const_iterator' 25> or '..\src\libs\boost\boost\boost/range/const_iterator.hpp(40) : boost::range_detail::range_const_iterator' 25> ..\src\libs\boost\boost\boost/range/detail/microsoft.hpp(135) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::range_detail_microsoft::customization<Tag>::meta<X>' being compiled 25> with 25> [ 25> Tag=CEbsValueArray::mfc_range_base_type, 25> X=CTypedPtrArray<CObArray,EbsValue *> 25> ] 25> ..\src\libs\boost\boost\boost/range/begin.hpp(111) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::range_detail_microsoft::const_iterator_of<T>' being compiled 25> with 25> [ 25> T=CTypedPtrArray<CObArray,EbsValue *> 25> ] ... changing the name of boost::range_detail::range_const_iterator to boost::range_detail::range_const_iterator_helper resolves the problem. I expect other begin/end adapters to run into the same problem.

[endian] Boost.Endian library added for 1.57.0
by Beman Dawes 26 Aug '14

26 Aug '14

The library provides integer and floating point types and conversion functions for portable byte ordering regardless of processor endianness. Although the primary uses are for file or network I/O, it is also useful for unaligned integers or floats, or for 3, 5, 6, and 7 byte integers. The library's predecessors have been in use for thirty years and developed independently multiple times. The repository is https://github.com/boostorg/endian The documentation is online at https://boostorg.github.io/endian/ See https://boostorg.github.io/endian/index.html#Release-history for changes since the Formal Review. No need to report "Inspection Report" problems; those will be cleaned up before 1.57.0 ships. Please do report any other problems or concerns, since the time between now and when the 1.57.0 beta ships in effect acts a mini-review period. If anyone has access to a big-endian platform with a modern C++ compiler, please, please run the endian test suite and report the results. All testing and use in recent years has been on little-endian platforms, so big-endian platform testing is a worry. Thanks for you patience, --Beman

[Serialization] link error in 1.56
by Tobias Loew 25 Aug '14

25 Aug '14

Hi, linking the serialization lib fails in version1.56 with unresolved symbols due to the missing implementation of boost::archive::detail::shared_ptr_helper::shared_ptr_helper(void) boost::archive::detail::shared_ptr_helper::~shared_ptr_helper(void) up to version 1.55 those symbols were defined in libs\serialization\src\shared_ptr_helper.cpp, but now this file is excluded from the build and contains the implementation of a nowhere defined class shared_ptr_helper_base. Is there a replacement for shared_ptr_helper, is it redundant or is serialization broken in 1.56?

[container] New container: why is everybody silent?
by Alexander Kuprijanov 25 Aug '14

25 Aug '14

Hi boost community! Please tell me something about my container, don't be silent. I firmly intend to offer it to boost, because it's much faster than competitors (by a constant factor). It's intended to replace std::vector in cases, when an application requires multiple insertion/deletion. It takes O(log(N)) for insertion/deletion.

[serialization] get_helper documentation
by Joaquin M Lopez Munoz 24 Aug '14

24 Aug '14

Hi, I see the Loading and Saving Archive concepts in Boost.Serialization have been augmented with helper support via get_helper<Helper>(). However, this is only explicitly documented for *Loading* Archives, http://www.boost.org/libs/serialization/doc/archives.html when indeed Saving Archives must and do also provide such a member function.

[type_traits] is_character<T> trait
by Antony Polukhin 24 Aug '14

24 Aug '14

Hi, Boost.LexicalCast has a trait boost::detail::is_character<T>, that evaluates to true if T is char, char16_t, wchar_t, unsigned char or any other character type. If this trait looks useful, I can move it to TypeTraits library, add docs and tests. Is there any interest in such trait? -- Best regards, Antony Polukhin
