Building Boost 1.70 with VS2019?
by Osman Zakir 19 Apr '19

19 Apr '19

Hi, everyone. How can I have Boost.Build use VS2019 when building Boost? I have a side-by-side installation of VS2019 on my computer, along with VS2017 also still being there. If this hasn't been tested yet, I'll wait until it has.

boost::xpressive use of before(...)
by Simon Giddings 18 Apr '19

18 Apr '19

Good morning, In our project I have the enviable task of transforming a large number of perl regex into boost::xpressive static code in c++. To ensure that the code I write, I have put together a simple test app where I create the sregex object and can then test that the result is that which is exected. I am stuck with the use of before(...) Here is my test - which fails std::string strInput = "&9-A02FEfoo"; sregex re; re = bos >> as_xpr("&9-A02FE") >> before("foo"); if(regex_match(strInput, sm, re)) { strResult = "matched : " + sm[0].str(); } According to the documentation (v1.67) this should work. What am I doing wrong here ? Best regards Simon

Need help resolving Boost error with Log Library: Candidate function not viable, expects an l-value for 1st argument
by Austin Tapp 15 Apr '19

15 Apr '19

Hello, I am trying to resolve this error: "5. Candidate function [with LoggerT = boost::log::v2s_mt_posix::sources::severity_logger_mt<boost::log::v2s_mt_posix::trivial::severity_level>] not viable: expects an l-value for 1st argument". This error results in the inability to use the function "make_record_pump", in my .cxx file, because "make_record_pump" is not recognized as a function within "record_ostream.hpp" due to the previous error. I am attempting to compile this project on Xcode 10.2, after building the project with the newest version of CMake. I have built boost (version 1.69.0) and installed the dynamic libraries with homebrew. Thank you, Austin Tapp

[gil] Boost.MPL replaced with Boost.MP11
by Mateusz Loskot 14 Apr '19

14 Apr '19

Hi, FYI, Boost.GIL switched from MPL and TypeTraits to MP11 (thank you Peter Dimov!) and C++11 <type_traits>: https://github.com/boostorg/gil/pull/274 This is a significant refactoring and as such it may have introduced bugs. GIL tests coverage had not been 100% and despite we've added numerous new tests, it's still far from complete. Any GIL users out there, if you notice any bugs, please let us know by opening new issue at GitHub or posting to to https://lists.boost.org/boost-gil/ Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net

[variant2] Review - Review period extended until April 15
by Michael Caisse 09 Apr '19

09 Apr '19

Hi all - The review period for Boost.Variant2 has bee extended to April 15. Thank you to those who have participated so far. There has been a fair amount of discussion about the merits of never valueless. A core design _feature_ of Variant2 is never valueless. You may have made different trade-offs. Understanding motives makes sense but in this review we are not trying to change this basic design choice. This paper by Peter discusses valueless variants some and may be useful reading: <http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2016/p0308r0.html> If you haven't started your review yet, you have time! Reviews ranging from detailed discussions of inner workings to a user-perspective of the library and documentation are all helpful. I personally believe we need more user-based reviews in Boost. So, feeling sheepish about reviewing? Don't! Your review is important in the process. Here is one more motivation if you are on the fence ... Peter's code is a joy to read. The library is extremely clean and the code is accessible. There might be all kinds of things you learn from reading the source. Thank you again community for staying involved. We get great libraries when people ask questions, review, and provide input to everything from the docs to the design. Happy coding! michael -- Michael Caisse Ciere Consulting ciere.com
