[autolink] conflicts with new toolset names
by Joaquín Mª López Muñoz 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

autolink assumes the following toolset tags for libraries generated under the MSVC familiy of compilers: 6.0, 6.5 --> "v6" 7.0 --> "vc7" 7.1 --> "vc71" 8.0 --> "vc80" Yet tools/build/v1/boost-base.jam does the following: local include-minor-version = YES ; switch $(toolset) { case borland* : toolset-tag += bcb ; case como* : toolset-tag += como ; case cwpro8* : toolset-tag += cw 8 ; case cwpro9* : toolset-tag += cw 9 ; case cw-* : toolset-tag += cw ; include-minor-version = ; case darwin* : toolset-tag += ; case edg* : toolset-tag += edg ; case gcc* : toolset-tag += gcc ; case intel-linux* : toolset-tag += il ; case intel-win32* : toolset-tag += iw ; case kcc* : toolset-tag += kcc ; case kylix* : toolset-tag += bck ; case metrowerks* : toolset-tag += cw ; case mingw* : toolset-tag += mgw ; case mipspro* : toolset-tag += mp ; case msvc* : toolset-tag += vc 6 ; case sunpro* : toolset-tag += sw ; case tru64cxx* : toolset-tag += tru ; case vacpp* : toolset-tag += xlc ; case vc[678][_]* : { toolset-tag += vc ; toolset-tag += [ MATCH "vc([678])[_]([0123456789]*)" : $(toolset) ] ; } case vc[678]* : { toolset-tag += vc ; toolset-tag += [ MATCH "vc([678])" : $(toolset) ] ; } case * : toolset-tag += [ MATCH "^([^-]*)" : $(toolset) ] ; } if $(include-minor-version) { toolset-tag += [ MATCH "[-]([0123456789]+)[_.]([0123456789]*)" : $(toolset) ] ; } else { toolset-tag += [ MATCH "[-]([0123456789]+)[_.][0123456789]*" : $(toolset) ] ; } which does not match autolink expectations for the following toolsets adhering to the new naming conventions: vc-6_5 --> vc65 (expected vc6) vc-7_0 --> vc70 (expected v7) I guess it suffices to apply the following postrule in boost-base.jam switch $(toolset-tag) { case vc6* : toolset-tag = vc6 ; case vc70 : toolset-tag = vc7 ; } but someone more acquainted with bjam than me might come up with a nicer reformulation. Currently, this is breaking dozens of tests in the metacomm engine, which recently switched to vc-6_5-stlport and vc-7_0 toolsets. Do I commit this? Someone can tackle the issue more elegantly? Thank you, Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

meta-double
by Peder Holt 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

Is there any interest in a compile-time meta-version of double? Syntax: //Definition typedef META_DOUBLE(3.1415926535897932384626433) pi; //Or META_DOUBLE(3.1415926535897932384626433) pi_; //Mathematical operations typedef math::meta::add<pi,pi>::type pi2; //Evaluation: assert(META_DOUBLE_EVAL(pi2)==3.1415926535897932384626433*2); This implementation uses two ints to represent the decimals, and a short to represent the exponent. It has been tested on VC7.1,VC8.0 beta and GCC3.2 Regards, Peder

I changed the /EHsc to /EHac which seems to affect none of the tests excep the errors test on VC-8_0 which now works I've tested it with 7.1 and 8.0 I don't have any other complers btw, why is the /EHac (now) put in the command line twice? once as part of CFLAGS and once directly?? I just started another regression test....I'll be back before it finishes Victor A. Wagner Jr. http://rudbek.com The five most dangerous words in the English language: "There oughta be a law"

logging library - minor bug report in "$yy" year formating
by Andy Schweitzer 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

Hello there, been playing with the logging library. Is this the right place to post bug reports? It seems that $yy prints "105" for the year 2005, not "05", which I expected. $yyyy is correct, it prints 2005. If line 173, // vals[m_yy + 1] = details.tm_year; is changed to // vals[m_yy + 1] = details.tm_year % 100; it appears to work... although I only tested with today's date.

Help setting up boost for vc7
by Chris Ward 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

I have MS VC++ 7.1 installed to the default location (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003), O/S WinXPSP2 However, when I run Build.bat from the command line, it returns " \Utilities\Bin\x86 was unexpected at this time." This occurs if I let the script auto-detect and also if I specify the toolset as vc7. Can someone please steer me in the right direction? regards Chris Ward

[thread] null_mutex
by Jody Hagins 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

Looking through the archives, a number of requests have been made for a null_mutex, but none exist. Probably because of the chance of trouble when used in conjunction with a condition variable. However, I have need for one (and it looks like others do as well, with a simple google search). Attached, are two files, each representing the output of running cvs diff on my local CVS repository (which is the official 1.32 release). diff.txt is the result of running: cvs -q diff diff-c.txt is the result of running: cvs -q diff -c I'd appreciate any feedback, and also consideration to add something like this to Boost.Thread.

But I don't understand your problem? Is the problem because you need to use a global or static and when do you so, you are not thread safe (i.e. the classic getlasterror() problem with threads)?

With current CVS HEAD, following the instructions in the documentation, I get the following error.
