I'm not sure whether my sources is up to date, but i made some changes, you can find them here: https://github.com/boost-cmake/geometry/tree/master/doc/src/docutils/tools/… * Added optional parameter with output file (it is needed for CMake script). * Also i fixed issue with brackets in description (added proper escaping).

[algorithm] adjacent_for_each interest?
by Ian Hobson 18 Feb '13

18 Feb '13

Hi, Is there any interest in a version of for_each that operates on each adjacent pair of elements in a range? #include <iostream> #include <boost/algorithm/adjacent_for_each.hpp> void PrintInts(int a, int b) { std::cout << '(' << a << ", " << b << ")\n"; } int main() { const int ints[] = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}; boost::algorithm::adjacent_for_each(ints, ints + 5, PrintInts); } Output: (0, 1) (1, 2) (2, 3) (3, 4) Initial implementation available at http://github.com/irh/adjacent_for_each Best, Ian

[git] Bad superproject.
by Rene Rivera 18 Feb '13

18 Feb '13

In trying to use the new boost git superproject there's a reference to a non-existent subrepo "boostorg/spirit_classic.git". This of course makes it impossible to do a full clone. -- -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - grafikrobot/yahoo

[Test] Allowing assert to break into debugger
by Alexander Lamaison 18 Feb '13

18 Feb '13

Normally when debugging a program in Visual Studio 2005, the debugger will let the user break the program if it asserts. But when the program in a Boost.Test runner, that doesn't happen. In this thread [1] other people report the same problem but Gennadiy says that it should work. Was this ever fixed? I'm using Boost 1.50.

[Installer] Windows 1.51 installer is broken
by Alexander Lamaison 18 Feb '13

18 Feb '13

I'm not sure who's dealing with this now, but the installer for 1.51 on Windows is broken with multiple File Not Found (404) errors. The sourceforge directory it tries to access seems to not be a real folder. Or at least it appear strangely when browsed: http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost-binaries/ Alex -- Swish - Easy SFTP for Windows Explorer (http://www.swish-sftp.org)

[website] SSL certificate for *.boost.org has expired
by Lars Viklund 17 Feb '13

17 Feb '13

It seems like the certificate for *.boost.org expired on the 16th, I'd reckon it's time to renew it and review the routines for renewing it in time. -- Lars Viklund | zao(a)acc.umu.se

[serialization] Limited Forward Compatibility
by Dmitry Shesterkin 17 Feb '13

17 Feb '13

Hello, We use xml serialization for saving and loading several types of metadata and we have to support possibility of reading new versions of files with old versions of soft. Boost::serialization is very good at backward compatibility but does not provide anything with opposite problem. So, This patch introduces new flag boost::archive::skip_unknown_tail_tags. When this flag is set and basic_xml_iarchive is faced with unknown tags at the end of element it will skip them (include nested). E.g., the first version of some file was: <Test class_id="0" tracking_level="0" version="0"> <a>31</a> <t2 class_id="1" tracking_level="0" version="0"> <a>11</a> 12 </t2> 32 </Test> After a while, the second version could be: <Test class_id="0" tracking_level="0" version="0"> <a>31</a> <t2 class_id="1" tracking_level="0" version="1"> <a>11</a> 12 <c>13</c> <d>14</d> <t1 class_id="2" tracking_level="0" version="0"> <a>1</a> 2 </t1> </t2> 32 </Test> Therefore, if the first version software set skip_unknown_tail_tags it can read second version of file (if does not set then exception will be thrown). See patch in attachments for details. Could it be useful, and should it be merged in trunk? Thanks in advance, Dmitry

[geometry] Documentation building
by Alexey Kutumov 17 Feb '13

17 Feb '13

I'm working on CMake'fication of boost libraries, and i 've got issue when building documentation of Boost.Geometry. This library uses doxygen_xml2qbk utility for convertiong doxygen XML to quickbook, and this utility uses RapidXML for xml processing. I found rapidxml in Boost.PropertyTree library, but it is in detail subdirectory and also have different namespaces (`boost::property_tree::detail::rapidxml` vs `rapidxml`) Can i use rapidxml from PropertyTree library, or i must write CMake script for searching rapidxml as thirdparty library?
