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

New Version (0.4) of Boost.Application (Aspect Based) available to comments (RFC).
by Renato Forti 11 Nov '13

>> How is that supposed to work in Windows? (Does it need to?) Well, a simple analysis, it seems to be specific in POSIX, we do not have anything like it in WINDOWS. (I do not speak for sure) >> Its sensible to expose 'something' that can be integrated to native event loops, but the ideal choice under Windows is probably an event, not a pipe descriptor. I agree. I'm thinking of adding this aspect only in posix, Then if user want use it need add it and use it only on UNIX, e.g.: class myapp { public: int operator()(application::context& context) { #if defined(BOOST_ BOOST_POSIX_API) boost::shared_ptr<application:: selfpipe > selfpipe = context.get_aspect<application:: selfpipe >(); select(...,selfpipe->readfd(),...); #endif return 0; } }; // main int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { myapp app; application::context app_context; #if defined(BOOST_ BOOST_POSIX_API) app_context.add_aspect<application:: selfpipe>( boost::make_shared<application:: selfpipe>()); #endif return application::launch<application::common>(app, app_context); } Comments, Ideas, please! >> I think some analysis is needed. I need help in this subject, if any one with great experience on both sides can propose something (shine a light), it would be of great value! Thanks for help

Hi, I would like to know if there will be some time (~1 week) to merge the new features and bug fixed in the release branch before svn is closed for git migration. Note that the provisional calendar was: 8 November : release 1.55 15 November: Provisional: Close subversion for git conversion. Best, Vicente

[intrusive] possible workaround for vc12 compile errors
by Daniela Engert 10 Nov '13

10 Nov '13

Hi, I've attached a patch to ticket #9332 "has_member_function_callable_with.hpp compile error on msvc-12.0" (https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/9332) This patch seems to fix the problem. My far-from-perfect understanding of C++ seems to indicate, that the root cause is in line 201: template< class F , std::size_t N = sizeof((boost::move_detail::declval<F>(). BOOST_INTRUSIVE_HAS_MEMBER_FUNCTION_CALLABLE_WITH_FUNCNAME (), 0))> struct BOOST_PP_CAT(zeroarg_checker_, BOOST_INTRUSIVE_HAS_MEMBER_FUNCTION_CALLABLE_WITH_FUNCNAME) the sizeof expression is evaluated with an unknown type U in declval<U>(). Ciao Dani
