[Floating Point Utilities] where is the "nonfinite_num_facets.hpp"
Hi As far as I understood, the Floating Point Utilities vault contribution by Johan R°ade has been integrated in the Boost official release. I've been using the "nonfinite_num_facets.hpp" header file for a few years within old Boost versions, directly extracted from the vault ZIP file released by Johan. Now, I can use the "fpclassify.hpp" file directly from the "boost/spirit/home/support/detail/math/" directory. Unfortunately I cannot find the "nonfinite_num_facets.hpp" file. Where can I find the "nonfinite_num_put/get" template class in say Boost 1.44 ? Maybe it has not been renamed in some other file or even not accepted at all... It is very useful for making my text and xml archives protable with NaNs and infinity support. Thanks for any hint or help. frc -- François Mauger Groupe "Interactions Fondamentales et Nature du Neutrino" NEMO-3/SuperNEMO Collaboration LPC Caen-CNRS/IN2P3-UCBN-ENSICAEN Département de Physique -- Université de Caen Basse-Normandie Adresse/address: Laboratoire de Physique Corpusculaire de Caen (UMR 6534) ENSICAEN 6, Boulevard du Marechal Juin 14050 CAEN Cedex FRANCE Courriel/e-mail: mauger@lpccaen.in2p3.fr Tél./phone: 02 31 45 25 12 / (+33) 2 31 45 25 12 Fax: 02 31 45 25 49 / (+33) 2 31 45 25 49

In the absence of a reply from someone more knowledgeable ;-) Johan's floating point utilities were reviewed and accepted http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/Floating-Point-Utilities-Review-Result-td 2643080.html and the floating_point_utilities_v3.zip is still in the vault at http://www.boostpro.com/vault/index.php?&direction=0&order=&directory=Math%2 0-%20Numerics The nonfinite_num_facets.hpp file remains at https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/SCons/boost/spirit/home/support/deta il/math/nonfinite_num_facets.hpp but the fpclassify.hpp 'official' release is now at \boost\math\special_functions\fpclassify.hpp Perhaps it was just lack of time that meant it was not integrated into Boost.Math from Johan's release? Or should it go elsewhere (hidden in a Spirit detail doesn't sound ideal) Or is there some more sinister difficulty? That you have used it successfully, suggests not. And it sounds very useful, and others are using it too. There are some plausible tests in the vault zip, and of course there are other tests at \boost-trunk\libs\math\test\test_classify.cpp (but none for nonfinite_num_facets) and some vault docs at nonfinite_num_facets.htm (though not in Quickbook format, as used for the rest of Boost.Math) and a few rather skeletal examples (but no actual runnable example files)? Since you obviously know a lot about it, perhaps you'd like to contribute some simpler, more and fuller examples? If you can draft something out, I'm sure someone can assist getting it into final shape.

Hi Paul, Thanks a lot for your comments. I have tried to write some sample program to illustrate a possible use of the 'nonfinite_num_facets.hpp' header by Johan Rade. It is attached. Hope it could help other people. As I am not aware of practise concerning such kind of contribution/sample bits, maybe you could help to copy it in some Boost contribution repository or give me the procedure to do it by myself. regards frc --

R°ade has been integrated in the Boost official release. I've been using the "nonfinite_num_facets.hpp" header file for a few years within old Boost versions, directly extracted from the vault ZIP file

the

At a very quick glance it looks useful, but I will copy to the Boost sandbox and perhaps work up a bit, and do some more docs too. I'll ping you when I've done something. Paul --- Paul A. Bristow, Prizet Farmhouse, Kendal LA8 8AB UK +44 1539 561830 07714330204 pbristow@hetp.u-net.com

ok, it makes sense that you need the libboost_serialization DLL. Unfortunately, I'm afraid I cannot help a lot. I'm not familiar at all with your system and the error message displayed. Do you use a recent Boost release, a recent compiler ?

Yes they are all fine. It is only when I try your nice example using Boost.Archive that this problem pops up. Looks like I am missing some library which provides this boost::archive::archive_exception::archive_exception I will investigate more. Paul --- Paul A.

OK, I've found the cause - MSVC produces wrong code using serialization with the option for strict compliance with C++. (I've found this on other projects - MS admit it is wrong, but it is in the 'won't fix' category!) So your example now works nicely. I've fiddled with it a bit (and correct bug in Johan's input of MSVC bizarre NAN and INF format. https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/5467 So I'm just working up the documentation section to include examples and I hope to add to boost-trunk soon. This will also add the various tests which will then be tested on all the myriad platforms and configurations. (Cross fingers please ;-) When I've done this, I'd be grateful if you could re-test the example on Linux using boost-trunk. Paul --- Paul A.
