Hi all. I build boost 1.76.0 woth Visual Studio 2019. I try to scan my pc with bitdefender (free version). Bitdefender discover a threat in boost_1_76_0\bin.v2\stacktrace\build\msvc-142\release\address-model-32\link-static\threading-multi\WinDbgCached_exe.exe. The threat is recognized as Gen:Variant.Fugrafa.139255 Any idea about? Best regards, MZ Sent from Mailspring (https://getmailspring.com/) the best free email app for work

OpenSSL 3.0 support in boost.asio
by Gehrs, Volker 31 May '21

31 May '21

Hi all, Will boost.asio add support for OpenSSL 3.0 as soon as it is officially available? Do you have already some very rough date in mind when this can be the case. I know OpenSSL 3.0 has not been released, yet. Maybe it can be expressed as X Month after OpenSSL 3.0 release... My understanding is that OpenSSL 3.0 is a big architectural change. Can I expect that this change will have big impact on the usage of boost.asio as well? Thanks and best regards! Volker

Build issue utilizing Boost::regex
by Brad Smith 29 May '21

29 May '21

Hi, I am trying to upgrade from Boost 1.73 to Boost 1.76 and down to only one consumer left that will not build. This appears to be an issue with Boost::regex. I noticed this in the Boost 1.76 release notes.. "Regex is now header only except in C++03 mode." Clang defaults to C++14, but I noticed BOOST_REGEX_CXX03 is defined. The project does not specify a particular C++ version so it should be using C++14. The functions below exist in the Boost 1.73 Boost::regex library but not in the 1.76 library. The project in question uses the function regex_match(). Any hints as to how to resolve this? ld: error: undefined symbol: boost::scoped_static_mutex_lock::scoped_static_mutex_lock(boost::static_mutex&, bool) >>> referenced by Config.cpp >>> � Config.o:(boost::object_cache<boost::re_detail_500::cpp_regex_traits_base<char>, boost::re_detail_500::cpp_regex_traits_implementation<char> >::get(boost::re_detail_500::cpp_regex_traits_base<char> const&, unsigned long)) >>> referenced by Config.cpp >>> � Config.o:(boost::cpp_regex_traits<char>::get_catalog_name()) >>> referenced by Config.cpp >>> � Config.o:(boost::re_detail_500::save_state_init::~save_state_init()) >>> referenced 2 more times ld: error: undefined symbol: boost::scoped_static_mutex_lock::~scoped_static_mutex_lock() >>> referenced by Config.cpp >>> � Config.o:(boost::object_cache<boost::re_detail_500::cpp_regex_traits_base<char>, boost::re_detail_500::cpp_regex_traits_implementation<char> >::get(boost::re_detail_500::cpp_regex_traits_base<char> const&, unsigned long)) >>> referenced by Config.cpp >>> � Config.o:(boost::object_cache<boost::re_detail_500::cpp_regex_traits_base<char>, boost::re_detail_500::cpp_regex_traits_implementation<char> >::get(boost::re_detail_500::cpp_regex_traits_base<char> const&, unsigned long)) >>> referenced by Config.cpp >>> � Config.o:(boost::cpp_regex_traits<char>::get_catalog_name()) >>> referenced 5 more times c++: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

[locale] Boost.Locale cannot be used with std::regex
by Josue Andrade Gomes 24 May '21

24 May '21

It seems that Boost.Locale cannot be used with std::regex. See the code below: #include <regex> #include <boost/locale.hpp> int main() { try { boost::locale::generator gen; std::locale de_DE(gen("de_DE.UTF-8")); std::wstring in(L"Grün GRÜN grün"); std::wregex rx; rx.imbue(de_DE); rx.assign(L"grün", std::regex::icase); std::wcout << std::regex_replace(in, rx, L"green") << L"\n"; } catch (std::exception &e) { std::cout << "Exception: " << e.what() << "\n"; } } Outputs: green GRÜN green However this: #include <regex> #include <locale> int main() { try { std::locale de_DE("de_DE.UTF-8"); std::wstring in(L"Grün GRÜN grün"); std::wregex rx; rx.imbue(de_DE); rx.assign(L"grün", std::regex::icase); std::wcout << std::regex_replace(in, rx, L"green") << L"\n"; } catch (std::exception &e) { std::cout << "Exception: " << e.what() << "\n"; } } Correctly outputs: green green green Tested on Ubuntu 20.04.2. g++ 10.2, Boost.Locale built with ICU support using vcpkg (thus static link).

Spirit X3 comment parser
by Olaf Peter 17 May '21

17 May '21

Hallo Users, this time a question about retaining the comments in the recursive AST. I've never seen those question before. I have a grammar that can have a comment at any point while maintaining that same grammar. I am interested in the comments to be able to parse the possibly contained pragma etc. statement later (so parsed as raw). ... auto const comment_def = x3::lit("//") >> raw[*(char_ - x3::eol) >> x3::eol]; ... The AST is ready, an AST node for the comment is also there. How do I change the rule now? auto const start_def = x3::skip(x3::space)[ comment | toplevel_rule ]; with the actual parse function: ... x3::parse(iter, end, toplevel_parser >> x3::eoi, toplevel); .... originally the latter looked like this: .... x3::phrase_parse(iter, end, toplevel_parser >> x3::eoi, parser::skipper, toplevel); ... The above start_def unfortunately also changes the attribute for it, ast::toplevel_node now becomes a variant<ast::comment_node,ast::toplevel_node>. I'm also not sure how this rule affects the dependent rules, i.e. recursive and low level in terms of correctness and performance. For the AST visitor this just means another overload. Another point is the test suite. Currently I test the low level sub rules with a separate instance, where the test input can also contain comments for test case documentation purpose. With x3::phrase_parse() this was not a problem. With the new approach, for each rule to be tested, I also have to use a variant <comment,attribute> for the attribute, which is very inconvenient.... So the question, is this really the right way? Are there alternatives? Thanks in advance

compiler error using boost::posix_time::time_facet
by Dan Bloomquist 08 May '21

08 May '21

Hi, I'm getting a strange error in that I've done this before without problems. But I've started a new MFC project and I'm getting this error. The same exact header in other projects compiles fine. I'm using all the same settings. with: auto* facet= new boost::posix_time::time_facet( "%d-%b-%Y %H:%M:%S" ); and if I comment that line the same error comes in further down where I: os << "[" << boost::posix_time::second_clock::local_time() << "] "; I just can not figure out what is different in this project that is causing this. using the latest MS compiler with c++17 Thanks, Dan.

Final Notice: BinTray is shutting down 1-May (that's SATURDAY)
by Marshall Clow 29 Apr '21

29 Apr '21

Bintray is “sunsetting” on the 1st of May. At that time, you will be unable to download boost releases from there. Before that time, their service will be occasionally interrupted. The web site has been updated, all the download links now refer to https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/ <https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/> Example: Instead of downloading from: https://dl.bintray.com/boostorg/release/1.76.0/source/boost_1_76_0.tar.gz <https://dl.bintray.com/boostorg/release/1.76.0/source/boost_1_76_0.tar.gz> You should download from: https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/1.76.0/source/boost_1_76… <https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/1.76.0/source/boost_1_76…> This applies to all releases from 1.63.0 onward (The pre-1.63 releases are still hosted at SourceForge) — Marshall
