[regression][build] Missing tests after the addition of sublibs file
by Adam Wulkiewicz 27 Jun '14

27 Jun '14

Hi, In order to display separated tests for the main and 'spatial index' parts of the Geometry we added a sublibs file to the master branch. The result is that new tests for the main part of the library are missing. I remember the same issue with the develop branch but don't remember how it was fixed. There is probably some collision of names/paths of the old and new tests. Could we do something about it? Could it be fixed by some manual cleanup? Or must the old tests dissapear naturally? Could this be considered as a bug in Build? For convenience: http://www.boost.org/development/tests/master/developer/geometry.html http://www.boost.org/development/tests/master/developer/geometry-index.html Regards, Adam

dynamically coupling documentation to unit testing
by Roger Martin 27 Jun '14

27 Jun '14

Hi, Been thinking. What I've come to like in documentation is a section at the top of a class or functor that includes some real examples code in the 'doxygen' section that shows how to use. My question is how difficult would it be to make unit testing pick these up and actually run them? If written with unit equalities this would gain by making me and developers write good header examples at the same time as making unit tests and continuously validate documentation isn't getting out-of-date as well. And have the output from the tests be compatible with jenkins or other build system's reporting? How feasible to do this? Is this a possibility to add to boost? Or should it be an llvm based project?

[align] git update problem
by Fletcher, John P 27 Jun '14

27 Jun '14

I am attempting to update my local copy of boost develop, which I can usually do with the commands: git checkout develop git pull --recurse-submodules git submodule update --init and then git submodule foreach git checkout develop git submodule foreach git pull I have not done this for some time. When I did it today I get a lot of messages from boost align with unmerged files and it will not update. I have not worked on these files myself. What do I need to do to get boost align restored to a good state? Thanks John

[parameter] #line markers in literate tests
by Edward Diener 27 Jun '14

27 Jun '14

Is there any logical reason for the #line markers in the source files for the 'literal' tests in Boost parameter ? VC++ will not compile these tests with them and although they appear to me as completely valid C++ I would like to create a pull request to fix the VC++ problem. If there is no reason for the #line markers I can remove them, else I can wrap in "#if !defined(BOOST_MSVC)/#endif" pairs after including boost/config.h.

Boost Build question
by Emil Dotchevski 27 Jun '14

27 Jun '14

Hello, I'm trying to instruct bjam to attempt to output an iphone executable (btw I'm not trying to build Boost itself.) What's the correct way to do this? I apologize if this is explained somewhere, but searching online mostly finds xcode-related information, and the suggestions in the few pages that looked relevant didn't work for me. -- Emil Dotchevski Reverge Studios, Inc. http://www.revergestudios.com/reblog/index.php?n=ReCode

Boost.Python and __slots__
by Matt Calabrese 26 Jun '14

26 Jun '14

Does something special need to be done to setup __slots__ on a class bound via Boost.Python? I can set __slots__ on the class and verify that it can be accessed from python, however I am still able to set members that aren't in the __slots__ list. -- -Matt Calabrese

How to handle generated html files with modular-boost and GIT?
by Paul A. Bristow 26 Jun '14

26 Jun '14

I've started to proof-read Vladimir Batov's Boost.Convert library and correct a (very few) typos etc. I've had some troublesome experience with building docs with Boost.Math and this is similar (but much smaller). Can experienced GIT users suggest how better to handle the problem of generated files in the /html folder. I've provided below a log of what I've done after a single edit to a Quickbook file. As you will see, there are *new* files (with randomized filenames) html/boost/convert_id274115.html html/boost/convert_id274279.html html/boost/convert_id277698.html html/boost/convert_id277857.html (and also my log file cv_20jun14_1135.log) And all the .html file have been modified. So what do I do? I'd hope just to be able to GIT commit (but there will be added files so "git commit -a") and "git push". (But what about obsolete files like html/boost/convert_id999999.html that should be deleted?) . This seems a muddle, so should we remove the /html folder from GIT using gitignore? However this would mean that users would have to generate the html (and assumes that all the tools like Doxygen and autoIndex are setup right - an unwelcome requirement). And what about .log files - it seems very useful and reasonable to have them live in /doc but be ignored by GIT? Could/Should there be a global entry in top level /modular-boost/.gitignore to exclude all .log files? (I'd also like to put .bat or .sh files to build docs etc here too - there are various options in building and automatically dated log files are nice to have. ) Suggestions on how better to manage this?

ptr_vector requiring non-const iterator for insert
by Florian Burkart 26 Jun '14

26 Jun '14

Hi, I noticed that ptr_vector requires a non-const iterator for insert. This is inherited from ptr_sequence_adapter, which defines iterator insert( iterator position, T* x ); Under C++11, this differs from std::vector, which, since C++11, is happy to take const_iterators. iterator insert( const_iterator pos, const T& value ); I read somewhere that C++11 was attempting to clear up some confusion in the standard between iterator constness and container constness. Just wondering whether this should be adopted (e.g. changed) in ptr containers. Gave me an error when I switched from vector to ptr_vector in a drop-in fashion. Not sure whether that is already planned, but google didn't find anything. Florian
