Clever, but such a design would fail code review if I were the project manager. This is way too likely to cause maintenance problems at some future time. Better to save the bit by defining size_ == MAXINT as unknown size, and all other values as the actual size. - James Jones Administrative Data Mgmt.

I'm pleased to announce the availability of a new library for computing with time series (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_series) From the documentation: > The purpose of the Boost.Time_series library is to provide data structures, numerical operators and algorithms to operate on time series. A time series is a series of data points, sampled at regular intervals. The library provides numerous time series containers, each with different time/space trade-offs, and a hierarchy of concepts which allow the time series to be manipulated generically. The library also provides operators and algorithms which use the generic interfaces to perform calculations on time series and accumulate various statistics about them. > > Boost.Time_series does not yet contain all the algorithms one might want in order to perform full time series analysis. However, the key contribution of Boost.Time_series is the framework and the rich hierarchy of concepts with which such algorithms can be written to efficiently and generically process series of data with widely divergent in-memory representations and performance characteristics. Boost.Time_series provides several such series containers, as well as mechanisms for defining additional series types and algorithms that fit within the framework. Some examples of series types that are provided are: dense, sparse, piecewise constant, heaviside and others, as well as adaptors for providing shifted, scaled and clipped series views. The documentation can be found here: http://boost-sandbox.sf.net/libs/time_series/doc/html/index.html The code is in time_series.zip, which can be downloaded here: http://boost-consulting.com/vault/index.php?directory=Math%20-%20Numerics Any suggestions for improvements are most welcome. -- Eric Niebler Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com

utf-8 cpp beta 2 library released
by Nemanja Trifunovic 18 Dec '06

18 Dec '06

Hello everybody. The first beta of UTF-8 CPP 2.0 , a library that I plan to submit to Boost (please see earlier posts this month on a utf-8 library) is out. The main reason I would like you look at it is that iterator adapters are added in this verson: find them here (the checked one): http://utfcpp.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/utfcpp/v2_0/source/utf8/checked.h? revision=72&view=markup and here (the unchecked one): http://utfcpp.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/utfcpp/v2_0/source/utf8/unchecked.… revision=72&view=markup Please note that UTF CPP is not "boostified", but rather a standalone library, unlike the version I submitted to the Sandbox earlier. Once again, thank you for the input I received already - it helps me a lot. Nemanja Trifunovic

[asio] header order dependence with <windows.h>
by Олег Абросимов 18 Dec '06

18 Dec '06

Hello Christopher, I've used review version of asio and found that if I include <windows.h> header before any asio headers then there are >100 errors arised with symbols redifinition. If it is included after asio headers - it compiles perfectly. Is this problem resolved in current CVS? I've used VC7.1 with last SP on WinXP. The example was accept_timeout.cpp asio example with corresponding header included before and after asio headers. Best, Oleg Abrosimov

[asio] Order of handler processing within a strand
by Austin Bingham 18 Dec '06

18 Dec '06

Is there any guarantee about the order of the processing of handlers within a given strand? If, from one thread, I post several handlers in the same strand to the io_service, will those handlers necessarily be run in the order of the post calls? Or am I only guaranteed that they won't be run concurrently? Austin Bingham

Boost RC_1_34_0 locked ?
by Dean Michael Berris 18 Dec '06

18 Dec '06

Hi everyone, Is it just me, or is the RC_1_34_0 branch currently locked in /cvsroot/boost/boost/boost/fusion/iterator/detail by grafik (Rene Rivera?) ? I'm doing a "cvs export" of the RC_1_34_0 branch right now, and it's waiting for a lock. Anybody working on the branch at the moment? -- Dean Michael C.
