[boost][qvm] Formal review for QVM
by Adam Wulkiewicz 10 Dec '15

10 Dec '15

Dear Boost community, The formal review of Emil Dotchevski's QVM library begins on 7th Dec and ends on 16th Dec. Boost QVM defines a set of generic functions and operator overloads for working with quaternions, vectors and matrices of static size with the emphasis on 2, 3 and 4-dimensional operations needed in graphics, video games and simulation applications. While it provides its own quaternion, matrix and vector types, it is designed to work primarily with user-defined types through user specializations of the q_traits, v_traits and m_traits templates. QVM's source code is available on Github: https://github.com/zajo/boost-qvm Full documentation is also viewable on Github: http://zajo.github.io/boost-qvm/ We encourage your participation in this review. At a minimum, kindly state: - Whether you believe the library should be accepted into Boost * Conditions for acceptance - Your name - Your knowledge of the problem domain. You are strongly encouraged to also provide additional information: - What is your evaluation of the library's: * Design * Implementation * Documentation * Tests * Usefulness - Did you attempt to use the library? If so: * Which compiler(s) * What was the experience? Any problems? - How much effort did you put into your evaluation of the review? More information about the review process can be found here: http://www.boost.org/community/reviews.html We await your feedback! Best regards, Adam Wulkiewicz

[PostgreSQL+SOCI+BOOST] SOCI compile error in core\exchange-traits.h with PG and SOCI on Windows
by Lawry, Brian 10 Dec '15

10 Dec '15

Hi. This isn’t strictly a Boost question but I’ve gotten no response to the following issue posted on the SOCI-users list. I’m posting here in the hope that someone has experience building SOCI for PostgreSQL with Boost type support on Windows. Configuration: Using SOCI 3.2.3, Boost 1.59.0, PostgreSQL 9.4 (same with 9.5b2), and Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 on Win 7 Pro 64-bit (everything but OS is 32-bit). Target is 32-bit SOCI DLL with PostgreSQL support and Boost integration (at least tuple). Ran 'soci_postgresql_test.exe' and all tests under 'SOCI PostgreSQL Tests' passed except: test 6 skipped (dynamic backend) NOTICE: table "soci_test" does not exist, skipping NOTICE: table "soci_json_test" does not exist, skipping NOTICE: table "soci_test" does not exist, skipping I can build an application that doesn't use boost::tuple without error. However, if I do use boost∷tuple, I get: c:\develop\soci-3.2.3\core\exchange-traits.h(40): error C2065: 'x_type' : undeclared identifier // ----example----------------------------------------------------- #include "stdafx.h" /* stdafx.h includes: #define _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL 0 #include "targetver.h" #include <stdio.h> #include <tchar.h> */ #include <string> #include <iostream> #include <boost/tuple/tuple.hpp> #include <boost-tuple.h> #include <soci.h> #include <soci-postgresql.h> #pragma comment(lib, "libsoci_core_3_2.lib") #pragma comment(lib, "libsoci_postgresql_3_2.lib") #pragma comment(lib, "libpq.lib") int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { soci::session sql(soci::postgresql, "host=localhost user=postgres password=XXXXX dbname=postgres port=5432"); sql << "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS t (i INTEGER, s TEXT)"; sql << "TRUNCATE TABLE t"; sql << "INSERT INTO t (i, s) VALUES (0, 'frist')"; int i; std::string s; sql << "SELECT i, s FROM t WHERE i = 0", soci::into(i), soci::into(s); std::cout << i << "\t" << s << std::endl; boost::tuple<int, std::string> r; // following line causes error C2065: 'x_type' : undeclared identifier in core\exchange-traits.h sql << "SELECT i, s FROM t WHERE i = 0", soci::into(r); std::cout << r.get<0>() << "\t" << r.get<1>() << std::endl; return(0); } //--------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks.

Since we were late on the 1.60 release, we've updated the release schedule. The master branch is currently open for bugfixes and documentation changes ONLY. The master branch will close on Sunday night (Dec 12th). We will build an RC for the 1.60 release Monday, and if all goes well, release it on Thursday, December 17th. So get those bug fixes in before Sunday! -- Marshall

[boost-users][QVM] Boost.QVM formal review is ongoing

[BGL] Is vertex_descriptor always integer?
by Ireneusz Szcześniak 08 Dec '15

08 Dec '15

Hi, In my code I do: vector_property_map<edge_descriptor> pred(num_vertices(g)); auto rep = record_edge_predecessors(pred, on_edge_relaxed()); auto dv = make_dijkstra_visitor(rep); dijkstra_shortest_paths(g, s, visitor(dv)); But this assumes that the vertex_descriptor is integer, since I'm using vector_property. Does this assumption always hold, or should I choose the type of the property map based on the graph type? Thanks & best, Irek

Boostbook documentation
by Soul Studios 08 Dec '15

08 Dec '15

Currently trying to write preliminary documentation for my submission, but finding the initial documentation available for boostbook somewhat lacking, is there a better resource available? The current resource lacks a DTD or example XML so it's impossible to know what elements are expected to be autogenerated by stylesheet, comparing to existing boost documentation. Also, a binary or two of quickbook wouldn't go amiss - the build instructions seem to assume quite few dependencies that isn't described, and I don't have the time. M@

Re: [Boost-users] linker errors in vs2012 and boost 1.59...
by Barker, Theo 07 Dec '15

07 Dec '15

It is definitely related to precompiled headers. It was only occurring in projects which were using precompiled headers. When I disabled precompiled headers in Release configuration, the link completed without errors. Looks like Boost in MSVC has been bitten again by the precompiled header issues.
