[1.35.0] Merge for release complete.
by Beman Dawes 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

The merge into branches/release "from" point was the 1.34.1 release. The "to" point was the trunk at revision 41356. This is very similar to a traditional *branch* for release. The effective difference is that a library can be easily reverted to 1.34.1. Hopefully, no libraries will have to be reverted. But we will do just that for any libraries not ready in the next ten days. The Unresolved Issues reports should now be reflecting the high-priority platforms the release managers will be using to make that determination. I'd like developers to hold off merging any changes since 41356 into branches/release until Friday. I'm going to be traveling until then and would like to be available for discussion as we open branches/release up for developer merging. Thanks, --Beman PS: The Windows smoke tests will be offline until late Thursday.

[1.35][range] merge request
by Thorsten Ottosen 30 Nov '07

Hi, I would like to merge rev. 41457 of iterator_range.hpp from trunk into the release branch. The header used boost::size(), but which should be boost::distance(). -Thorsten

by Joaquín Mª López Muñoz 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

Hello, I'm asking for permission to merge rev. 41397 of multi_index from the trunk to the release branch: http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/41397 This fix makes the lib usable for IBM XL C/C++ (VisualAge) V8.0, and introduces no regressions in other environments, see http://beta.boost.org/development/tests/trunk/developer/multi_index.html Thank you, Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

[mpi]
by David Osipyan 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

I try to use boost.mpi in my particle-in-cell simulation code. I have a vector of particles. How can I send parts of this vector from root process to all of slaves, and send backward to root ? Is it possible via mpi::scatter() and mpi::skeleton/content? I need to send particles from range 0..n to first slave, n+1 .. 2*n+1 to second slave etc. After porocessing each slave shall return the new values of parts to root. Thanks, David.

[fusion] using fusion sequences with mpl
by Stjepan Rajko 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

Hello, I am having problems getting fusion sequences to work with MPL. The docs indicate this should be possible , e.g. the "Adapted" page states, "Fusion sequences may also be adapted as fully conforming MPL sequences (see Intrinsics)." I couldn't find more information on the Intrinsics page regarding the use of fusion sequences with MPL, but I tried: #include <boost/mpl/is_sequence.hpp> #include <boost/fusion/container/vector.hpp> #include <boost/fusion/sequence/intrinsic.hpp> int main() { BOOST_MPL_ASSERT(( boost::mpl::is_sequence<fusion::vector<int> > )); } And got a mess of errors from mpl::is_sequence<fusion::vector<int> >: (gcc 4.0.1/darwin) /Development/boost/boost/mpl/begin_end.hpp: In instantiation of 'boost::mpl::begin<boost::fusion::vector<int, boost::fusion::void_, boost::fusion::void_, boost::fusion::void_, boost::fusion::void_, boost::fusion::void_, boost::fusion::void_, boost::fusion::void_, boost::fusion::void_, boost::fusion::void_> >': [snip errors] /Development/boost/boost/mpl/begin_end.hpp:35: error: invalid use of undefined type 'struct boost::mpl::begin_impl<boost::fusion::fusion_sequence_tag>' [...more errors] I tried things other than is_sequence (like mpl::at), but got similar errors. What am I missing? Thanks for any suggestions! Stjepan

wrong number of template arguments for "char_regex_traits_i"
by Barco You 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

Hello , I include <boost/regex.hpp> in my program, when compiling I got message: boost/regex/v4/char_regex_traits.hpp:34: error: wrong number of template arguments (1, should be 2). I checked the wrong line in boost/regex/v4/char_regex_traits.hpp .. template <calss charT> class char_regex_traits_i : public regex_traits<charT>{}; template<> class char_regex_traits_i<char> : public regex_traits<char> { public: typedef char char_type; typedef unsigned char uchar_type; typedef unsigned int size_type; typedef regex_traits<char> base_type; }; and then I checked the template regex_traits defined in boost/regex/v4/regex_traits.hpp: template <class charT, class implementationT > struct regex_traits : public implementationT { regex_traits() : implementationT() {} }; It's really a but, do you thinks so? what should the implementationT be for char_regex_traits_i in boost/regex/v4/char_regex_traits.hpp? Who could give some suggession, thanks! -- ------------------------------- Enjoy life! Barco You

[thread] Set stack size?
by Phil Endecott 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

Dear All, I'm not aware of a way to set the stack size for a new thread in either Boost.Thread or the proposed std::thread. Is this something that should be considered? It seems that on my 32-bit Linux box I get 8 MByte stacks by default. This allows a maximum of 512 threads per process with 32-bit addresses. Although 8 MBytes and 512 threads should be OK for most applications most of the time, it's not hard to imagine scenarios where either 8 MBytes or 512 threads is not enough. Would it be possible for the stack size to be an additional parameter to the thread constructor, with a default? (I don't think that the "native handle" in std::thread helps, since you don't have that handle until the thread has been created at which point it's too late. In any case, I guess that Windows must also have a way to set the stack size, and it would be helpful to have an OS-independent way to set it.) Regards, Phil.
