[serialization] More CW8 fixes.
by Rene Rivera 03 Aug '04

03 Aug '04

I checked in some more minor fixes to remove more failures of this library. But, most of the remaining failures are affecting both CW8 and CW9. Which leads me to believe that it's a more serious problem with the library. And I don't have more time to continue looking at this. PS. I guess I won't be using this lib anytime soon, no matter how much I wanted to :-( -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com - 102708583/icq

RE: [boost] Re: counting_iterator_test.hpp fails on aC++

Dave, aC++ didn't like it. This is CR JAGaf33512 -- aC++ tries to instantiate template member functions even if it's unused. Pls. see attachment. I've addressed the problems you mention below. Although I don't know what you mean by a patch?? Let me know if it's good enough for check in. Thanks for being patient with me, I'm a stone-age C++ programmer who just got transported into the 21st century and I'm still trying to get my feet wet. It's a lot of material to absorb in a short time.

Thanks! Thank you! There are a number of problems with it: 1. It's not a patch as requested (nit; it was probably easier for me to handle than a patch would've been) 2. It defines an implementation detail function in the boost:: namespace 3. It uses ALL_CAPS identifiers for non-macro names (TR1, TR2) Instead of fixing the patch I used a simpler static assertion that should only fail to work on compilers that don't support is_convertible (CWPro7 and earlier), which I've already dropped support for IIRC. Let me know if aCC becomes happy. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost

It's ugly. If I am not mistaken it was you or Beman who introduced this var, because local reference (../test or ./) did not work. > 2. I'm not certain that BOOST_ROOT will always be set (though it > probably will). I think it is. And it still unclear why it's failing then. Gennadiy.

How to test multiple versions of a library?
by Michael Glassford 02 Aug '04

02 Aug '04

Currently the Boost.Threads regression tests only test the dynamically linked version of the library. On Win32, at least, there are fairly significant differences between the dynamically linked and statically linked versions (due to thread-specific-storage cleanup), so it would be good to run at least some of the tests for both versions. How do I do this? Mike

If this would be the case it should work, I think. Here related part of Jamfile: ######################################## local test-dir = "$(BOOST_ROOT)$(SLASH)libs$(SLASH)test$(SLASH)test$(SLASH)" ; run ifstream_line_iterator_test.cpp <lib>../build/boost_unit_test_framework : #args : $(test-dir)test_files/ifstream_line_iterator.tst1 $(test-dir)test_files/ifstream_line_iterator.tst2 ; What is wrong here?

Re:Re: [thread] barrier.cpp don't compile with msvc60 & stlport]

I use msvc + stlport 4.5.3 compiled with streams and it builds the serialization library on my machine w/o problems. The daily tests show what seems to be a similar configuration which fails to build with a compile error in spirit. Sooo one or more of the following is true a) something is different - its not clear what b) spirit 1.6 - needs some sort of tweak - I'm not sure this will ever happen. c) Its really annoying to see a column of all failures knowing that the issue is fixable but not by me.

Broken toolset config on Meta-Comm Darwin results?
by Jeff Garland 02 Aug '04

02 Aug '04

I'm wondering what toolset is being used for the Meta-Comm Darwin tests. Seems like there is a configuration issue for shared libraries since all the date_time dll tests fail. See http://www.meta-comm.com/engineering/boost-regression/developer/date_time.h… Also, 'gcc' doesn't really give much about the compiler being used. Based on the other failures I'm guessing a variant of 2.95.x? Note that in the other Darwin tests with gcc 3.3.x date_time passes all tests... http://boost.sourceforge.net/regression-logs/cs-Darwin.html Jeff

Boost-wide reports: Time to join in!
by Aleksey Gurtovoy 02 Aug '04

02 Aug '04

Now that we have Boost-wide reports up and running [1], I'd like to encourage all regression runners who's results are not represented there yet take a tiny bit of time to join in. The setup procedure is documented in http://tinyurl.com/4pnfd. It's very short and painless, too! It's crucial that we have an objective picture of the codebase when/before we release, and Boost-wide reports is the only instrument that is able to provide us with it. So please, join in!

First of all, why do you think it was build_monitor? Second, >what operating system are you running? 1) My system has run flawlessly for over a year also and two days ago was when I first installed monitoring..... the first time it ran a bunch of stuff wasn't working in the morning, but I'd been very tired when I went to bed and figured MAYBE I'd shut them down (unlikely as I _never_ _NEVER_ shut down the dnet client)...but I let it go... I made some changes to regression.py so it would work better here then manually ran the system that afternoon...no problems. I let it run automatically again overnight and "bam" all these things that are ONLY started at login time and NEVER touched by me are missing again.... the _logical_ place to look is at "what's new?"... what's new is -monitored on the test line in my script. btw, this morning I also noticed that build_monitor had it's own window open and was spewing out TONS or data to it... is that normal? I took out the teststreams test (I think) but this afternoon's run had already started... but I chose ignore when the modal dialog (may the .....) popped up. btw, tho my log clearly shows them sent to the ftp site, they're not on the website yet... the date is Sunday the time 21:30:03 in the xml file I'd be more than happy to help find this as any problems in running the regression tests will just mean less folks willing to run them. if you get back to me quickly, I can turn on the "-monitored" again... the run starts in just over 2 hours (on the 1/2 hour) (still missing teststreams at this point). 2) WinXPpro sp1 >-- >Aleksey Gurtovoy >MetaCommunications Engineering >_______________________________________________ >Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost Victor A.
