[quickboost] single HTML page?
by lcaminiti 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

Hello all, Is there a way to have quickbook generate a single HTML page? (Maybe some XSL param...) Right now, different sections appear on different HTML pages. But for a very simple doc, I only have 3 short sections and it'd make more sense for them to be displayed on a single page while still remain separate section and appear separately in the table of context. Thanks a lot. --Lorenzo -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/boost-quickboost-single-HTML-page-tp4323… Sent from the Boost - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Bug reports - Showstoppers and Regressions
by Marshall Clow 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

There are a couple of useful reports on svn.boost.org: Active Showstoppers: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/report/43 Active Regressions: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/report/30 To shortcut part of the discussion, here are some definitions (taken from https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/TicketWorkflow) • Showstopper - this problem is so bad, that we should hold up a release if it's not fixed. Note that the release managers and/or the library maintainers may have different opinions. • Regression - something used to work (in a previous release), but no longer does. IMHO, these bugs should be at least looked at before each 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

[BGL] Any interest in updated maximum adjacency search?
by Fernando Vilas 23 Jan '12

23 Jan '12

Hi, As a part of my graduate research, I have been using the maximum adjacency search algorithm. In the BGL, it is implemented in the stoer_wagner_min_cut functions. I have already broken it out of there, to be a search with a visitor, like BFS. I also implemented a dummy visitor and wrote visitors for my research. It would be very easy to implement a min-cut visitor so that the Stoer-Wagner functionality is maintained without a public API change. As a contributor in other FLOSS projects, I would like to contribute this code back to the Boost library, under the Boost license, if there is interest in the code. That said, this will be my first contribution to Boost, so I would most likely need someone willing to help me navigate the approval process and let me know where the code needs to be improved to meet the normally high standards on this project. -- Thanks, Fernando Vilas fvilas(a)iname.com

I'm checking with my review manager about going back from Closure to LocalFunction given that a few people have now expressed such a preference. I'll keep everyone posted :) > Or more precisely, just ignoring mails questioning the name Boost.Closure is not good style. In a functional programming language, many things can be done with a closure (for example returning it from a function), and it is unclear to me, whether Boost.Local really is able to approximate this functionality in a sufficiently usable way. It might be true, but then please point me to the corresponding passage in the documentation. Boost.Local docs do not (yet) explain how and when local functions can be returned because that was a homework from the review. I'm pasting below a few examples that I will include in the docs: //[test_return_inc_cpp #include <boost/closure.hpp> #include <boost/function.hpp> #define BOOST_TEST_MODULE ReturnInc #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> boost::function<int (void)> inc(int& value) { int BOOST_CLOSURE(bind& value) { return ++value; } BOOST_CLOSURE_END(i) return i; } BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( return_inc ) { int value1 = 0; // Reference valid in scope where closure is used. boost::function<int (void)> inc1 = inc(value1); int value2 = 0; boost::function<int (void)> inc2 = inc(value2); BOOST_CHECK( inc1() == 1 ); BOOST_CHECK( inc1() == 2 ); BOOST_CHECK( inc2() == 1 ); BOOST_CHECK( inc1() == 3 ); } //] //[test_return_setget_cpp #include <boost/closure.hpp> #include <boost/function.hpp> #define BOOST_TEST_MODULE ReturnSetGet #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> #include <string> boost::function<void (std::string const&)> set; boost::function<std::string const& (void)> get; void action(void) { // State `message` hidden behind access functions from here.

[quickbook] changing paths
by lcaminiti 21 Jan '12

21 Jan '12

Hello all, How can I change the paths were Boost.QuickBook looks for the following files? 1) CSS and icon images by default from BOOST_ROOT/doc. 2) Navigation bar by default from BOOST_ROOT/tools/boostbook/xls. Essentially, I'd like to put the CSS, icon images, and navbar into a different path. Also, I'd like to change the navbar to one of my own. Thanks a lot. --Lorenzo -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/boost-quickbook-changing-paths-tp3925967… Sent from the Boost - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[review] WANTED: Review Managers
by Ronald Garcia 20 Jan '12

20 Jan '12

Hi all, Currently the Boost review schedule has 8 libraries ready for review, but we need some individuals to volunteer to be review managers so that we can schedule reviews for them. In general review managers are active boost participants, including library contributors, infrastructure contributors, and other mailing list participants with a substantial track record of constructive participation. The libraries on the review schedule are as follows (the "(M)" simply means that a manager is needed): * Join (M) * Pimpl (M) * Sorting (M) * Quaternions, Vectors, Matrices (M) * Variadic Macro Data (M) * Block Pointer (M) * Singularity (M) * Predef (M) If you are interested, able, and qualified to be a review manager for one of these libraries, please contact myself and/or John Phillips. Thank you. Best, Ron

Permission to merge to release a remove-warnings-update
by Barend Gehrels 19 Jan '12

19 Jan '12

Hi, Christophe sent me this week a patch to avoid many warnings about unused parameters in many files. I applied that (all but one file which was not about unused parameters) and fixed some more. So this is a low-risk update which might be convenient for many users. All tests run fine. Do I have permission to still merge this with the Release branch? Thanks, Barend
