[Test] passed assertion count off by 1
by Kim Barrett 24 Sep '05

24 Sep '05

Using Boost.Test from the boost 1.33 release, The reported number of passed assertions for each test case is one greater than the actual number of assertions performed by the test case. For example, the most trivial of auto-unit-test programs, attached below, reports 1 assertion out of 1 passed. I see no test assertions here. ---------- #define BOOST_AUTO_TEST_MAIN #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> #include <boost/test/auto_unit_test.hpp> BOOST_AUTO_UNIT_TEST(test_no_assertions) { }

BOOST_ASSERT and __assume
by Marcin Kalicinski 23 Sep '05

23 Sep '05

Hi Everybody, I see there are mixed opinions on use of __assume in BOOST_ASSERT. The chief concern is there are people using BOOST_ASSERT in "uncommon" (but still valid) ways, such as: - to show dialog box, but only in debug mode - using assert handler to throw during unit testing - possibly more These types of usage would be prohibited if we introduced __assume into BOOST_ASSERT, so basically this is a no-no from stability point of view (nobody wants his code broken). Btw. the second way can be dealt with with disabling __assume if assertion handler is defined. On the other hand some people (including me) consider __assume to be nice, helping optimization and suppressing annoying warnings. I see 3 options: 1. BOOST_ASSUME =============================================== Put __assume in BOOST_ASSUME and leave BOOST_ASSERT unmodified. Pros: - does not disturb existing code in any way Cons: - no existing code uses it, i.e. all existing libraries would have to be modified to take advantage of it; this will probably never happen so most of the code will not benefit - obscure: most of the people would be confused about it when seeing it for the first time 2. BOOST_ASSERT + define to enable assume (default: on) =============================================== Pros: - does enable assume on all the boost code, some user programs get somewhat smaller and faster without any intervention from the programmer Cons: - breaks user code which uses BOOST_ASSERT in "uncommon" way. Would require a change in docs that executing BOOST_ASSERT(false) is undefined behavior (i.e. different than std::assert) BOOST_ASSERT + define to enable assume (default: off) =============================================== Pros: - does enable assume on all the boost code, some user programs get smaller and faster with a simple -D"BOOST_ASSERT_USE_ASSUME" on command line. Cons: - only small number of users will know about that #define, so probably most of the code will not benefit. What do you think? Marcin

Patch to boost/detail/interlocked.hpp
by Anthony Williams 23 Sep '05

23 Sep '05

I am trying to change my call_once implementation for boost.thread, so it doesn't require windows.h to be included. In doing so, I tried to use boost/detail/interlocked.hpp, and discovered that it doesn't work on gcc-mingw-4.0.1, since the imported functions are declared in boost::detail namespace, and the macros don't qualify the names. Attached is a patch for the file that changes the macros to refer to the imported functions by fully qualified names. Please can someone check and commit this for me.

I sent this earlier but it never showed up on the list. > > By the way, that might work well for smart > > pointers; why don't shared_ptr and friends use this idiom? > >Maybe because it allows more than a literal zero? I personally like the guard/dismiss names, they are reminiscent of commands you would give a real guard. However, maybe using the shared_ptr semantics would work. I.e. if you can create a guard that is "uninitialized" and then reset it later to an active guard. { scope_guard g; if (some condition) { g = scope_guard(my_undo_function); // do something here } if (some other condition) { // we changed our mind, dismiss it. g = scope_guard; // or ... // g.dismiss(); // g.reset(); // like shared_ptr } } It seems to me that is as easy to read as having an explicit "guard" or "activate" command is. I confess though that I didn't follow the early discussion closely so I apologize is this has been discussed already. Jason Stewart

[Boost-bugs] [ boost-Support Requests-1301634 ] Serialization lib missing

Support Requests item #1301634, was opened at 2005-09-23 10:31 Message generated for change (Tracker Item Submitted) made by Item Submitter You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=207586&aid=1301634&group_… Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Serialization lib missing Initial Comment: my email is jla2w(a)yahoo.com I am building the boost library and am specifically interested in serialization. When I follow the steps, I can't get the bjam.exe to recognize the version of spirit that would enable xml serialization. I did the following set SPIRIT_ROOT=C:/Documents and Settings/Luke/Desktop/spirit-1.6.3/boost as well as a couple other variants (not including the last boost) because it isn't clear to me which directory depth it needs to be..anyway, I get errors building the serialization libs (all others build correctly) with messages that choke on the xml files and then many that say that fatal error: Compiler not supported, check config.hpp this is presumably related to spirit env variable not being recognized. The other errors say that the libs were skipped for lack of other libs. One example is ...libboost_serialization-vc7-sgd.lib skipped for lack of libboost_serialization-vc7-sgd-1_33.lib Any ideas? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=207586&aid=1301634&group_… ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.

David Crayford ha escrito: > Thanks Joaquin, actually the z/OS release is 6. I t= ried changing > __IBMCPP__ to 600 but it screwed the compile. OK. Well, the following is a slightly more convoluted way to check whether your compiler is able to cope with Boost, more or less: 1. Globally search "__IBMCPP__" in the codebase (about 100 occurrences) and replace it with, say, BOOST_IBMCPP. This task should be simple if you're a Unix man. 2. Compile your test code with a compiler switch defining the macro BOOST_IBMCPP to 600. I think in your case the compiler switch is -DBOOST_IBMCPP=600 3. Shake and serve. Please report your results back. Thank you! > I'm new to this list, how do I contact J= ohn Maddock? He's a regular on this list.
