[multi_index] multiple definition errors since 86597
by Jürgen Hunold 12 Nov '13

12 Nov '13

Hi, revision 86597 changed boost/multi_index/detail/bucket_array.hpp Add were: static const std::size_t sizes[]; static const std::size_t sizes_length; member variables, initialised with +template<> +const std::size_t bucket_array_base<true>::sizes[]={ + BOOST_PP_SEQ_ENUM(BOOST_MULTI_INDEX_BA_SIZES) +template<> +const std::size_t bucket_array_base<true>::sizes_length= + sizeof(bucket_array_base<true>::sizes)/ + sizeof(bucket_array_base<true>::sizes[0]); + Now gcc (4.8.1) reports multiple definition errors when using multi_index in different translation units: file1.cpp.o:(.rodata+0x0): multiple definition of `boost::multi_index::detail::bucket_array_base<true>::sizes_length' file2.cpp.o:(.rodata+0x0): first defined here file1.cpp.o:(.rodata+0x20): multiple definition of `boost::multi_index::detail::bucket_array_base<true>::sizes' file2.cpp.o:(.rodata+0x20): first defined here CMakeFiles/graph_test.dir/main.cpp.o:(.rodata+0x0): multiple definition of `boost::multi_index::detail::bucket_array_base<true>::sizes_length' file2.cpp.o:(.rodata+0x0): first defined here file3.o:(.rodata+0x20): multiple definition of `boost::multi_index::detail::bucket_array_base<true>::sizes' file2.cpp.o:(.rodata+0x20): first defined here According to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1553854/template-static-variable and my current c++ template knowledge, those instantiation belong to a .cpp file to avoid this. This does not work for a header-only library, of course. The current test suite does not catch this because it only contains single file tests. Yours, Jürgen -- * Dipl.-Math.

Boost 1.55.0 released!
by Marshall Clow 12 Nov '13

12 Nov '13

Release 1.55.0 of the Boost C++ Libraries is now available. These open-source libraries work well with the C++ Standard Library, and are usable across a broad spectrum of applications. The Boost license encourages both commercial and non-commercial use. This release contains one new library and numerous enhancements and bug fixes for existing libraries. === New Libraries === • Predef: This library defines a set of compiler, architecture, operating system, library, and other version numbers from the information it can gather of C, C++, Objective C, and Objective C++ predefined macros or those defined in generally available headers, from Rene Rivera. === Known bugs with Visual Studio 2013/Visual C++ 12 === Visual Studio 2013 was released quite late in the release process, so there exist several unresolved issues. These include: • Serialization can't compile because of a missing include. • Using has_member_function_callable_with from Boost.Container's allocator_traits causes a compile error (#9332). • For several libraries overloads with intializer lists are incorrectly reported as ambiguous. This is a Visual C++ bug and it isn't clear if there's a good workaround. • In libraries such as Unordered and MultiIndex, calling overloaded functions with initializer lists can result in a compile error, with Visual C++ claiming that the overloads are ambiguous. This is a Visual C++ bug and it isn't clear if there's a good workaround. This won't affect code that doesn't use initializer lists, or uses an initializer list that doesn't require an implicit conversion (i.e. an initializer list of the container's exact value type). • Thread: ex_scoped_thread compile fails (#9333). For details, including download links, see http://www.boost.org/users/news/version_1.55.0 You can also download directly from SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.55.0/ To install this release on your system, see http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/more/getting_started/index.html Thanks, --The Boost release team Vladimir Prus Rene Rivera Marshall Clow Eric Niebler Daniel James Beman Dawes

[Functional/Factory] Value factory not accepts rvalues?
by Lin, Yi-Li 12 Nov '13

12 Nov '13

I found that boost::value_factory did not accept rvalues in some case. In my case, temporary value is produced and passed to value factory directly. But boost::value_factory<T>::operator() did not accept rvalue, they take lvaue reference instead. Maybe it'll be better to provide another version of operator takes const lvalue? (Additionally, use std::forward to forward universal reference in C++11?) Sample code which compiler complains: int get_value(); struct var { var( ); explicit var(int); }; void caller() { boost::value_factory<var> f; f(get_value()); }

Changes to trunk for clang using VC++RTL
by Edward Diener 12 Nov '13

12 Nov '13

I have held off making some changes to trunk in SVN for clang with VC++ RTL until Boost 1.55 was out. I can do so now based on my tests with clang but I am concerned that the changes will not be carried over to the Boost git development branch when Boost switches to git. Should I be waiting until the git changeover is made and everyone learns to deal with git and the setup for using Boost with git, or should I start making changes now and watch the regression tests cycle ? I am sure from my tests that the changes, although involved in low-level libraries like config, mpl, type_traits, will not adversely affect any other compiler and will help in testing clang using VC++ RTL for Boost as clang inches closer to full support in Windows using VC++ headers and libraries.

It's a way to collect patches, make of that what you will.

I just wanted to take off my "release manager" hat and say, personally, thank you to all the people who tried out the RCs/Betas/etc, reported bugs, and suggested fixes. You were all a big help in making the release. -- Marshall Marshall Clow Idio Software <mailto:mclow.lists@gmail.com> A.D. 1517: Martin Luther nails his 95 Theses to the church door and is promptly moderated down to (-1, Flamebait). -- Yu Suzuki

[release][1.55.0] Visual C++ known bugs
by Daniel James 11 Nov '13

11 Nov '13

Hello everyone, I'm compiling a list of known issues in boost with Visual Studio 2013/Visual C++ 12. I've made a quick start at: http://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_55_0.html#version_1_55_0.known… Please let me know if there's anything I should add. Also, if available, tested patches against the release branch or release candidate would be very useful (I don't have the compiler myself, so I can't do that). If you can, please make them using subversion from the root of the repository. thanks, Daniel
