Windows: Disable Static Libraries.
by Duft Markus 12 Oct '07

12 Oct '07

Hi all! I have a question regarding the boost build on Windows: I'm building boost with the following bjam command: cmd.exe /C ./tools/build/jam_src/${bindir}/bjam.exe -d2 -sTOOLS=${toolchain} "-sBUILD=release <threading>multi <cxxflags>-D_USE_32BIT_TIME_T <runtime-link>dynamic" "-s${vc_root}=${vcvars32}" Everything works fine so far, but: I want only the shared libraries (dlls), and am settings appropriate defines to use those versions in all other software i build. Thus the static libraries are completely useless for me (at least i think so, am i wrong?) Can i somehow disable static library builds? Cheers, Markus -- 17.-19.

Smoke tests
by Beman Dawes 11 Oct '07

11 Oct '07

I'm calling the rapid turnaround tests "Smoke Tests". A section has been added to the testing doc page explaining them, with links to results; see: http://beta.boost.org/development/testing.html The Win32 and Ubuntu tests are currently checking for svn updates every 15 minutes. These tests are run on fast modern machines, so the tests usually take less than 5 minutes. Of course it will take longer if a header changes that lots of libraries depend on. I've also going to try to add Mac OS-X to the mix, but that machine is old and slow so cycle times are likely to be much longer. It will get added to the web page as soon as it is cycling regularly. Enjoy, --Beman

[enable_if] enable_if_c fails on VC8, possibly a compiler bug
by Kenneth Ho 11 Oct '07

11 Oct '07

Hi, I ran into a scenario where enable_if worked, but not enable_if_c, using MSVC 8.0.50727.762 (SP.050727-7600). // simple classes to test enable_if_c template< class Type, class Enabler = void> struct BaseC { static bool const value = false; }; template<class Type> struct BaseC< Type, typename enable_if_c<is_integral<Type>::value >::type> { static bool const value = true; }; template<class Type> struct DerivedC : BaseC<Type> {}; // actual tests void test_c() { BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(BaseC<short>::value == true); // fine BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(DerivedC<short>::value == true); // fine BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(DerivedC<int>::value == true); // fails here BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(BaseC<int>::value == true); // fails here } As you've probably noticed, it only fails if DerivedC got instantiated before BaseC, with the same integral template argument. Am I doing anything wrong here or is this a compiler bug? Source code available here: http://fsfoundry.org/tmp/test_enable_if.cpp VC8 solution available here: http://fsfoundry.org/tmp/test_enable_if.zip Compiles on g++ 4.1.2 with Boost 1.33.1 Fails on VC8 with Boost 1.34.1 and 1.33.0 Regards, ken

[fusion] fusion not being tested (or in doc index)
by John Maddock 11 Oct '07

11 Oct '07

Just to point out that fusion is not currently being tested in the trunk, and the docs aren't linked to from the documentation index either. Fusion's tuples are also causing some failures in Boost.TR1: http://beta.boost.org/development/tests/trunk/developer/output/COMSOFT-boos… Any ideas? Thanks, John.

[pending] fibonacci_heap not in current release
by Florian Teichert 11 Oct '07

11 Oct '07

Hi there, about half a year ago Aaron Windsor provided us with a bug-fix for the fibonacci_heap.hpp which is now (in CVS version 1.15) working perfectly. It seems that it was forgotten to include the new file in the current boost release -- would be nice to do so since the 1_34_1 version is not working at all. Best Florian

[nag] Please test Jamfiles before committing
by Beman Dawes 11 Oct '07

11 Oct '07

All builds for all libraries, including regression test builds, was broken yesterday by a typo in a specific library's Jamfile. Even though a change is very simple, it should still be tested before committing to svn. This is particularly important for Jamfiles, because a mistake in one library's Jamfile can bring down the whole testing system. Enough said, --Beman
