[1.33.0] Regression test status
by Douglas Gregor 22 May '05

22 May '05

The following summarizes the regression test status of each of the Boost libraries. We're doing well, but there are still quite a few libraries with outstanding failures. I've listed those libraries here along with the compilers/platforms on which they are failing. May is half-way finished: I hope to stabilize by the end of the month for release. Lots of failures: iostreams (vc-7_1, vc-8_0, mingw-3_4_2, borland-5_6_4, gcc-3_3-darwin, gcc-2.95.3-linux, gcc-2.95.3-stlport-4.5.3-linux, gcc-3.3.5-linux, gcc-3.4.3-linux, intel-8.1-linux). numeric/ublas (all compilers fail test4, test5) parameter (vc-7_1, borland-5_6_4, cw-8_3, msvc-stlport, vc7, msvc, gcc-2.95.3-linux, gcc-2.95.3-stlport-4.5.3-linux) program_options (borland-5_6_4, vc7, gcc-3_3-darwin, intel-8.1-linux) ptr_container (borland-5_6_4, cw-8_3, msvc-stlport, vc7, msvc, gcc-2.95.3-linux, gcc-2.95.3-stlport-4.5.3-linux, vcc-3.4.3-linux) range (vc-7_1, vc-8_0, borland-5_6_4, gcc-2.95.3-linux, gcc-2.95.3-stlport-4.5.3-linux, gcc-3.3.5-linux, gcc-3.4.3-linux) serialization (most compilers fail something) test (every compiler fails something) A few failures: algorithm/string (vc7, cw-8.3) date_time graph (vc-8_0) integer (msvc) iterator (borland-5_6_4) math (cw-9_4) multi_index (msvc) pool (borland-5_6_4) python (vc-8_0, msvc-stlport, vc7, gcc-3_3-darwin) random (gcc-3_3-darwin, gcc-2.95.3-linux, gcc-2.95.3-stlport-4.5.3-linux) regex (borland-5_6_4, msvc-stlport, vc7, msvc, gcc-2.95.3, gcc-2.95.3-stlport-4.5.3-linux) spirit (cw-8_3, gcc-3_3-darwin on multiprocessor machines) thread (cw-9_4, msvc-stlport, msvc) utility (call_traits_test on msvc-stlport, vc7, msvc) wave (cw-8_3) Libraries that with no failures: algorithm/minmax any array assign bind concept_check config conversion crc disjoint_sets filesystem format function functional functional/hash io lambda logic math mpl multiarray numeric/conversion numeric/interval optional preprocessor rational signals smart_ptr static_assert timer tokenizer tuple type_traits variant Doug

[Test] Warning Suppression?
by David Abrahams 21 May '05

21 May '05

Hi, I keep seeing c:\boost\boost/test/impl/execution_monitor.ipp(214) : warning C4535: calling _set_se_translator() requires /EHa Is the warning correct? If so I think we need to add the appropriate stuff to the build system to generate /EHa in this case. If not I think we need to add the appropriate warning suppression. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com

iterator_adaptor: underlying iterator type?
by Aleksey Gurtovoy 20 May '05

20 May '05

Currently 'iterator_adaptor' exposes its underlying iterator _object_ (through 'base()'), but not its type, which stands in the way of a generic code manipilating adapted iterators/sequences, e.g.: template< typename Sequence > mtn::iterator_range< typename Sequence::iterator::base_type > // ^^^^^^^^^^^ // currently unavailable base_view( Sequence& seq ) { return mtn::make_iterator_range( seq.begin().base() , seq.end().base() ); } Any objections if I add the typedef (and update the docs correspondingly)? -- Aleksey Gurtovoy MetaCommunications Engineering

Tuples: how to get rid off the open/closing characters??
by Oliver Kullmann 20 May '05

20 May '05

Hello, looking into the code, the documentation, and the proposed standard I can't find a way to output a boost::tuple to a stream with no opening and closing characters??? tuples::tuple_open requires a character, and thus one has to use some opening character, and equally some closing character???? (I can't believe this: Everybody knows that adding strings is much easier than erasing them.) Oliver

[regex] match_partial and regex_search
by Eric Niebler 20 May '05

20 May '05

I noticed some surprising behavior with match_partial and regex_search. Consider: regex e("abc|b"); string str("ab"); smatch what; if(regex_search(str, what, e, match_default | match_partial)) { cout << (what[0].matched ? "full" : "partial") << '\n'; } This code displays "partial". Clearly, regex_search is bombing out just as soon as it finds a match, partial or otherwise. But in this case, if it kept looking, it would find a full match. My understanding is that full matches are always preferred to partial matches. I couldn't find any discussion about this case in the regex docs or the std proposal. Did I miss it? What's the intention here? Is the std proposal underspecified? -- Eric Niebler Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com

[random] Update for better TR1 compliance
by Jens Maurer 20 May '05

20 May '05

I've checked in changes to the Boost.Random library that add constructors and seeding for both template<class Generator> and unsigned long arguments, thereby moving Boost.Random one step further towards TR1 compliance. The random_test.cpp program now has basic tests for this feature. In order to guide overload resolution, I've used boost::enable_if<> and type traits to make sure that integral arguments don't try to call the "template<class Generator>" overloads. This could mean decreased compiler support, sorry. It works for me with gcc 3.4.3. Jens Maurer

Interest in C function pointer utility?
by Rene Rivera 20 May '05

20 May '05

In rewriting a plugin interface I use, which for language portability uses C function pointers as the entry points, I came up with a "make_c_function" utility. I use it to translate C++ functions, any of objects, binds, function, members, et. to _real_ C function pointers. For example: class P { public: int foo(int); }; P p; extern "C" { void * get_plugin_call(int n) { if (1 == n) { return make_c_function<P,int(int)>( boost::bind(&p,p::foo,_1)); } else { return 0; } } } [example much abbreviated from real life use] -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - Grafik/jabber.org
