Did you reset the passwords for trunk? Until today I was able to commit changes to boost-trunk - but my password is invalid now?! Oliver

[Git] Regression testing modular Boost
by Beman Dawes 30 Dec '12

30 Dec '12

Starting a new thread - this is far to important to bury in the long documentation thread!

None yet. I've been assuming we will just update www.boost.org/development/running_regression_tests.html > What changes to the current tools need to happen to the adjust to > the new setup? As a first cut, branch the current tools and convert any code that currently uses svn commands to use git commands. But before any testing is done, it would be helpful if Boost.Build was updated to handle the generation of boost-root/boost header file links, rather than relying on the workaround cmake script. Do you feel comfortable enough with git to handle the conversion? --Beman

[Git] Modularization of Boost.Any, Boost.Array, and Boost.StaticAssert
by Daniel Pfeifer 29 Dec '12

29 Dec '12

Hi, according to our preliminary modularization, the candidates Boost.Any, Boost.Array, and Boost.StaticAssert each have their own repository, even though each of them consists of a single header file only (disregarding tests, examples and documentation). I propose to put all three of them into the Boost.Utility repository. Comments? --Daniel

[git] Boost.Build location
by Vladimir Prus 29 Dec '12

29 Dec '12

I am wondering what will be the location of Boost.Build after the git switch. It seems to be part of http://github.com/boost-lib/boost right now. Maybe, it would be best to have separate git repository for Boost.Build? In particular, that would allow to fork just Boost.Build, which is important given git's inability to handle partial checkouts. It would also allow giving push access for Boost.Build to other people, without also giving access to superproject. Comments? Thanks, Volodya

[python] Proposal: RAII for Global Interpreter Lock (GIL)
by John Zwinck 29 Dec '12

29 Dec '12

There are many questions and example classes online for dealing with Python's Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) using RAII. I think Boost.Python should provide this functionality, rather than having users who build hybrid C++/Python applications copy-pasting code from various places. I was one of those users recently, and the code I developed to deal with it is now public: https://github.com/jzwinck/pccl/blob/master/InterpreterLockGuard.hpp https://github.com/jzwinck/pccl/blob/master/InterpreterLockGuard.cpp https://github.com/jzwinck/pccl/blob/master/test/InterpreterLockGuard.test.… Comments in the header explain how to use it in the context of Boost.Python, and contain a link to a wiki from which some of the code was originally copied. Why add this to Boost? It's clearly code that a bunch of people need, often people who are already using Boost.Python. It has a permissive license, and I can re-license it if need be. And it depends on Boost (mostly for thread-specific storage--I hope this dependency won't be seen as a liability here, though it could be removed if needed). This particular implementation was used successfully in a few programs in a commercial setting on Fedora and RHEL systems. It has some extra checks that we found helpful compared to some of the versions you'll find posted online. The code also builds and passes its tests with GCC on Mac OS X. I welcome any feedback regarding the suitability for inclusion in Boost of this particular code and/or the concepts it implements. John Zwinck

Interest in serialization library
by iwg molw5 28 Dec '12

28 Dec '12

I recently wrote a small C++11 template library to unify the specification and construction of a serializable object. The library introduces a simple template markup language used to specify the layout of data on the wire, using that specification to construct the type in question much like a named tuple. A sample of the syntax used by the library is provided below: struct Object : serializable <Object, value <NAME("Field 1"), little_endian <uint32_t>>, value <NAME("Field 2"), big_endian <uint32_t>>> { }; The library is available under the MIT license at: http://www.github.com/molw5/framework with associated documentation located at: http://molw5.github.com/framework Is there any interest in including this library in Boost?
