really dumb bjam (v1) question.
by Robert Ramey 21 Oct '05

21 Oct '05

I want to suppress certain warnings that the GCC compiler generates for serialization tests. This entail adding some switches to the gcc command line. So in my Jamfile I make the following modification: rule run-template ( test-name : sources * : requirements * ) { return [ run <lib>../../test/build/boost_test_exec_monitor $(sources) : # command : # input files : # requirements std::locale-support toolset::require-boost-spirit-support <borland*><*><cxxflags>"-w-8080 -w-8071 -w-8057 -w-8062 -w-8008 -w-0018 -w-8066" <gcc*><*><cxxflags>"-Wno-non-virtual-dtor -Wno-ctor-dtor-privacy" $(requirements) : # test name $(test-name) : # default-build debug ] ; } That is I added the line <gcc... This doesn't seem to produce the desired effect. That is, I don't see the new -W switches on the gcc command line. Any help would be appreicated. Robert Ramey

How should we deal with access to zero pointers?
by Asger Mangaard 21 Oct '05

21 Oct '05

When writing code that *could* access a zero pointer, should one do the following: 1. Nothing 2. assert 3. Exception. In that case which one? My guess would be 1 since an access violation exception will be thrown any way (on VC++ at least), but now I'm not sure? Regards, Asger Mangaard

I have no access to Mac OS X, but according to this post: http://www.pixelglow.com/lists/archive/macstl-dev/2005-February/000015.html this might be caused by the fact that your Boost headers are in /usr/include, because GCC has some heuristic that automatically encloses system headers in extern "C" blocks. http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeveloperTools/gcc-4.0.0/cpp/Syste…

Alternative solution to intermediate results problem of expression templates.
by Korcan Hussein 21 Oct '05

21 Oct '05

Hi I'm not sure if this has already been explored or even in current use but I think I may have come up with an alternative solution to the type deduction of intermediate results from expression templates. Instead of using automatic type erasing technique, take the compile-time parse tree of an intermediate expression and create an exact runtime replica of the expression tree using recursive variant types (using Boost.Variant in C++). The creation of the expression tree can be completely automated. I have tried this myself with promising results. The only (minor) downside is in order to avoid redundant copies of operands the types of the operands must be given but not the structure of the compile-time expression tree itself. Leaf nodes of the recursive variant hold constant references to there elements. I've done quick profile of this against the traditional eager evaluation of overloaded operators and it still is more efficient but tree creation does cost in time slightly. If people are interested I can post code the code for this.

Math lib docs
by John Maddock 21 Oct '05

21 Oct '05

Hubert, Daryle, I'm trying to figure out how to integrate the docs for the few new additions to Boost.Math that come with the TR1 library into the existing documentation. The new docs use quickbook, and the options appear to be: 1) Leave the existing docs as they are, the minor problem with this is that my addition ends up with it's own library entry under doc/html/index.html, while the rest of you get left out of there as you do now :-( 2) Use quickbook to create a new front page for the Math lib, but otherwise leave the html as it is. The doc/html/index.html would now look right, but the existing html docs would be second-class citizens in the BoostBook generated TOC for the Math lib: they would get a main entry, but no sub-entries, and just a forwarding link to the existing html. 3) Convert the existing docs to quickbook: it's a bit tedious, but surprisingly easy to do, and once you get the hang of it, easier to maintain than html: no honestly it is, not having to quote "<>&" etc code snippets is worth the change alone IMO. I don't mind making the initial changeover, but thereafter you guys would have to be happy maintaining the quickbook source. The main advantages are a coherent look to the docs, automatic TOC, optional PDF generation and so on. There's the potential to integrate the docs for the new complex number inverse trig special functions, with the existing docs for the scalar versions as well, but I haven't looked into that yet. Thoughts? Thanks, John.

(Nuisance) Warnings
by David Abrahams 21 Oct '05

21 Oct '05

Warnings present a difficult conundrum for Boost. I wonder if there's any way we can come up with a coherent policy, so individual library developers don't have to think through all the issues individually and our users develop consistent expectations. Here's what I know: * Some warnings that are just a nuisance, especially for templated code. For example, I am getting a warning from vc-8 that the implicit assignment operator of a particular class template instantiation couldn't be generated. I expect the availability of implicit assignment in that case to depend on the template parameter. In this case, any class template that can take reference arguments that become members of the class is susceptible. * It's impolite to unconditionally disable warnings that people may count on in their own code. The above is a nuisance for me, but it might be crucial for someone developing ordinary classes. * Some popular compilers (GCC) don't have #pragmas that let us turn off warnings in particular regions of code. On those compilers, there is sometimes no workaround in code; suppressing the warning must be done on the compiler's command-line. We can do it in Boost.Build, but of course that won't help people who are using other build systems. And for those that _are_ using Boost.Build, suppressing warnings at that point can be just as impolite as doing it in code. * Even when in-code workarounds are possible, they're often ugly, and since the workarounds (e.g. #pragmas) can be different for every compiler, they really pile up. So, ideas, anyone? -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
