[range] range library proposal implementation rev.2
by shunsuke 26 Aug '07

26 Aug '07

Hi, all A new version of Oven, a range library proposal implementation, has been uploaded to Boost.Vault/Algorithm. The file: http://tinyurl.com/2axp2l Range Library Proposal: http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG21/docs/papers/2005/n1871.html An example "infinite sequence of factorials": void test() { BOOST_AUTO(factorials, expression(counting(1, max_count)|scanned(1, regular(lambda::_1 * lambda::_2))) ); int const answer[] = { 1,1,2,6,24,120,720,5040,40320,362880 }; BOOST_CHECK( equals(factorials|taken(10), answer) ); } This library is highly preliminary, but moderately tested. Any feedback appreciated. Regards, -- Shunsuke Sogame

[GSoC][cgi] Status update.
by Darren Garvey 25 Aug '07

25 Aug '07

Hello all, [Note: please only reply to boost(a)lists.boost.org, don't 'reply all'. Cheers.] As you may be aware, we have been working on a Boost-style CGI library for the Google Summer of Code. There is still a lot of work to do on the code, but it's 'taking shape' now so I'm inviting any interested parties for their comments. The structure of the library has changed quite significantly since the GSoC program started, for the better we believe, but you may disagree. ;) We'd like to know. Docs are located at: http://cgi.sf.net Source is in the Boost sandbox, here: http://tinyurl.com/2ldvk3 The internal links in the docs are mostly not working at the moment, sorry, but the TOC can be used to get you around. Regards, Darren

Logging Library - WIP
by JD 25 Aug '07

25 Aug '07

Hello, Discussion about a logging library started over some time ago. In the vault my implementation. As for now, I am implementing some of the requirements from the boost wiki (http://minilien.com/?rQB7NorvIs) Functional Requirements 3. Eliminate log statements from generated code through the definition a macro. 4. Full lazy evaluation 5. Sinks 7. Configurable log message attributes Design Requirements 1. Configurable log message attributes 2. Macro access Here is an example of use: // Code #include <fstream> #include <logging.hpp> using namespace boost::logging; namespace bl = boost::logging; void overheat(int d) { BOOST_LOG(2, bl::log, "overheat called"); BOOST_LOG(1, bl::warning, "Warning: Tube overheat! Shutdown system immediatly"); BOOST_LOG(1, bl::error, "ERROR: tube overheat: " << d << "d C. Shutdown should follow"); } int do_something() { BOOST_LOG(2, bl::log, "do_something called"); BOOST_LOG(2, bl::notice, "do_something is performing some fancy processing (useless log don't you think?)"); return 7; } int main(int argc, char **argv) { boost::logging::logger *l = boost::logging::logger::get_instance(); boost::logging::format display_format(bl::trace >> bl::eol); boost::logging::format file_format("[" >> bl::level >> "]," >> bl::filename >> "(" >> bl::line >> ")," >> bl::time >> "," >> bl::trace >> bl::eol); // log format l->add_format(display_format); l->add_format(file_format); boost::logging::sink file_sink(new std::ofstream("./output.log"), 3); file_sink.attach_qualifier(bl::log); file_sink.attach_qualifier(bl::error); l->add_sink(file_sink, file_format); boost::logging::sink display_sink(&std::cout, 1); display_sink.attach_qualifier(bl::notice); display_sink.attach_qualifier(bl::warning); l->add_sink(display_sink, display_format); BOOST_LOG(1, bl::log, "Application starting"); BOOST_LOG(1, bl::notice, "Application version 1.0.3 - Copyright(2007) World Company"); BOOST_LOG(1, bl::log, "do_something returned: " << do_something()); overheat(87); return 0; } Standard output: Application version 1.0.3 - Copyright(2007) World Company Warning: Tube overheat! Shutdown system immediatly Content of output.log: [1],g:\projects\loglite\test\logging_test_qualifier.cpp(57),2007-Aug-23 19:44:26.411856,Application starting [2],g:\projects\loglite\test\logging_test_qualifier.cpp(26),2007-Aug-23 19:44:26.451913,do_something called [1],g:\projects\loglite\test\logging_test_qualifier.cpp(60),2007-Aug-23 19:44:26.451913,do_something returned: 7 [2],g:\projects\loglite\test\logging_test_qualifier.cpp(19),2007-Aug-23 19:44:26.451913,overheat called [1],g:\projects\loglite\test\logging_test_qualifier.cpp(21),2007-Aug-23 19:44:26.461928,ERROR: tube overheat: 87d C. Shutdown should follow I am welcoming any comment if you think it worth it. The library can be found in the vault here: http://minilien.com/?QO9kodiNIs The google code page is here: http://code.google.com/p/loglite/ The checkout the svn repository: svn checkout http://loglite.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ loglite Note that Andrey Semashev is also working on an implementation that you can find here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost-log Regards, JD

ScopeExit Review Begins Today
by Jody Hagins 24 Aug '07

24 Aug '07

The review period for Scope Exit Time Series, submitted by Alexander Nasonov, runs from Monday, August 13 until Wednesday, August 22. >From the documentation: Nowadays, every C++ developer is familiar with RAII technique. It binds resource acquisition and release to initialization and destruction of a variable that holds the resource. But there are times when writing a special class for such variable is not worth the effort. This is when ScopeExit macro comes into play. You put resource acquisition directly in your code and next to it you write a code that releases the resource. Note that ScopeExit uses PP macros and relies on Boost.Typeof. The latest version can is here: http://boost-consulting.com/vault/index.php?action=downloadfile&filename=sc… It's available also at http://tinyurl.com/2z6qg2 Online documentation is here: http://194.6.223.221/~nasonov/scope_exit-0.04/libs/scope_exit/doc/html/inde… >From the review guidelines here: http://boost.org/more/formal_review_process.htm ... Boost mailing list members are encouraged to submit Formal Review comments: * Publicly on the mailing list. * Privately to the Review Manager. Private comments to a library submitter may be helpful to her or him, but won't help the Review Manager reach a decision, so the other forms are preferred. What to include in Review Comments Your comments may be brief or lengthy, but basically the Review Manager needs your evaluation of the library. If you identify problems along the way, please note if they are minor, serious, or showstoppers. Here are some questions you might want to answer in your review: * What is your evaluation of the design? * What is your evaluation of the implementation? * What is your evaluation of the documentation? * What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library? * Did you try to use the library? With what compiler? Did you have any problems? * How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A quick reading? In-depth study? * Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain? And finally, every review should answer this question: * Do you think the library should be accepted as a Boost library? Be sure to say this explicitly so that your other comments don't obscure your overall opinion. Thanks in advance to every for your participation in this review.

Providing alpha-numeric operator with "less less" or "star star" syntax
by Marco Servetto 24 Aug '07

24 Aug '07

Providing alpha-numeric operator with "less less" or "star star" syntax. Hello, I'm new here, You surely know that is possible to use operator redefinition to obtain a syntax like a -in- b ( or a *in* b) where -in- is a constant that is used as a alpha-numeric operator. on the bottom of the mail there is a code that is a simple proof of concept on how obtain this syntax I don't know if you have never thought that is possible to use this syntax to make lot's of much more interesting stuff ( the 'in' keyword is a simple example...) For example we can use this solution to implement a compile time checker for SQL code, admitting syntax like Table t=....; Query q=SELECT-t["name"],t["telephone"]-WHERE-t["surname"]="Smith"-AND-t["age"]>50; The choose from less less and star star (and other less polish symbols like &in& or |in| is about operator precedence and must be very careful) Another idea could be using it on the bind function to obtain a syntax like myFun-Call(par1,par2,par3,...) Of course that is only a very little example of what is possible to do whit this type of syntax. I have think about this only few days before, and I'm not still convinced if it is good or no, but you surely can help me to decide about it. By Marco. -------------------------------------------------- NOTE: this code is only a proof of concept, lot of optimization can be added to, like using In::Binded<T&> when is opportune, and providing ways to generate other binary operator without redundancy in the code.... ---------------------------------------------- #import<iostream> #import<vector> #import<algorithm> using std::vector; namespace inKeyword{ class In{ private: template<typename T> class Binded{ public: T binded; inline explicit Binded(T binded_):binded(binded_){} }; }; template<typename T> inline In::Binded<T> operator-( T elem,In in){ return In::Binded<T>(elem); }; template<typename T,typename C> inline bool operator-(In::Binded<T> binded, C & v){ return std::find(v.begin(), v.end(), binded.binded)!=v.end(); }; const In in=In(); } using inKeyword::in; int main(){ vector<int> v; v.push_back(3); v.push_back(4); v.push_back(5); bool ris=3-in-v; std::cout<<4-in-v<<std::endl; std::cout<<7-in-v<<std::endl; return 0; }

Status of clone_ptr?
by Mathias Gaunard 24 Aug '07

There was once a proposal for the addition of a clone_ptr, and eventually poly_obj (same without pointer interface) to the boost smart pointers. I would have liked to know what the status of this is.

[IOStreams] patch for "seek" bug in file descriptor device
by Frank Birbacher 24 Aug '07

24 Aug '07

Hi! I have had a hard time trying to figure out why my windows port of a file transfer program would not write anything to its files. I'm using boost svn, msvc 8 express, platform sdk from msvc 2003, and windows xp (SP2). I discovered that the file_descriptor device of the IOStreams library does not check for SetFilePointer failure as Microsoft recommands. This led to always throwing bad_seek. But the write function on the std::ostream& does neither return with the failbit set nor does it propagate the exception. Anyway the attached patch on the boost svn should fix this problem. I added a second check for failure as the MSDN ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/fileio/fs/setfilepointer.asp , see "Return Value") suggests. It works for me.

>> Give macros libraries a closer look, before dismissing them out of hand. Ok. Noted. Just thought I'd mention another issue, sorry to ramble. Some of the libraries on boost have been terrific learning tools for me to develop a strong sense of what a well written functional/generic library should look like. Many hundreds of hours went into some of them, I'm shur. Theyre are so many hidden nuggets in boost, that one could spend a lifetime trying to search them out. There are many subtle concepts but important concepts in functional/generic programming. In my estimation, it takes an intermediate c++ programmer probably an additional 2-3 years to really begin to appreciate the truely incredible power that functional/generic programming offers. Studying a well written boost library is a terrific way to learn how its done. Its a shame that some of them are incredibly hard to study, without substantial effort. In my case, I attribute that difficulty to macros -- so yes, I have developed a strong disliking for macros.

Boost::archive::basic_streambuf_locale_saver problem
by Shirley.Wu＠wrsa.com.au 24 Aug '07

24 Aug '07

Hi Boost developers, I'm one of the developer who is using boost library. I don't know whether anybody raised this problem before or not. I noticed that there's a problem in boost/archive/basic_streambuf_locale_saver.hpp. The compiler was complaining about the missing braces of namespace boost::archive. The problem is the #endif for BOOST_NO_STD_LOCALE is outside of the namespace boost::archive close braces. Should I just fix the close braces or should I find some other way to fix it? Once I just fix the close braces, other classes complain about the code (e.g. basic_binary_iprimitive.hpp which is using basic_streambuf_locale_saver class) .. more fixes involved. Could you professionals please give me some suggestions to fix the problem? or you already have patches for this problem?

>> What can I learn from your criticism? What is it based on other than >> the fact that you don't like macros? By what standard shall we decide >> that use is "overuse?" I'm not shur that you can learn much from that criticism. Other than that I like to examine the libraries source code to help me learn about how it works. If the library is full of macros, or complicated templates for that matter, I often will just give up, and rely soley on the documentation. >> Well, let's be clear. We've been "warm" in the sense that we're >> willing to use macros when they are the best solution to a problem.

I think that those are pretty creative uses of internal macros and I have no problems with those uses. I just hope that I'm never tasked with their maintenance.

Am I way off base here? I quickly googled signals/slots and found a website called http://doc.trolltech.com/3.3/signalsandslots.html which talkes about a class called "QObject", at the begining of the page they state there reasons for using signals/slots, which are ; doc.trolltech.com wrote: >Callbacks have two fundamental flaws.

The EventHandler library enforces a type safety in the callback function pointers and you can also clone EventHandlers simply by event_handler<> * event = &anotherevent; so althout you need to know the function to call it doesnt have to be specified each time. these features minic (and in areas improve on) the .net feel of events.

Re: [boost] ScopeExit review

I vote to accept the library into Boost. * What is your evaluation of the design? * What is your evaluation of the implementation? The design and implementation is clear and straightforward. Of course we'd like to have such a library with better syntax, but current C++ doesn't allow to make it better. * What is your evaluation of the documentation? Clear and understandable. * What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library? I believe the library is very useful, I will use it in my work. It helps to avoid writing complex rollback code clean and in-place. Another nice feature comparing to using lambdas is the ability to place breakpoints inside the rollback code. Without ScopeExit you can only achieve this by using manually-written scope guard class from scratch * Did you try to use the library? With what compiler? Did you have any problems? Yes, played with the examples from documentation, GCC 3.4, no problems noted. * How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A quick reading? In-depth study? Compiled, played with examples, looked into the implementation. * Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain? I'm sure everyone is :) * Do you think the library should be accepted as a Boost library? Yes. A couple of general comments after reading other reviews. 1. The fact that the library takes all arguments by reference looks unavoidable. If it allowed passing by value (i.e. making copies) - the copy constructors can throw, and this exception will be thrown after you made the change to your container/whatever you'd like to rollback, and before you setup the rollback action. So you can't guarantee that your rollback action will be executed. So, in case you need a copy - it's much safer to create this copy before making the change to your container/whatever. It will also express your intention more clearly. 2. Of course it would be great to have a full-featured scope guard library in Boost, but its absense is not an excuse to reject ScopeExit, otherwise we need to reject scoped_ptr/scoped_array etc, as they are forms of scope guard. In general, I believe we can't reject a library A just because Boost misses a library B. Thanks, Maxim

Re: [boost] [Boost-users] [ScopeExit/Typeof] Can't build simple test in debugmode (MSVC 7.1 and 8.0)
by Christian Larsen 23 Aug '07

It applies to ScopeExit I see. It seems to be caused by the use of __LINE__, (see http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.user/17341/match=boost+edit+co ntinue). This makes sense as edit & continue would probably get a hard time with changing line numbers. But still it produces nonsense error messages.

Re: [boost] ScopeExit review

I agree with Steven, This syntax looks same as the new Boost.Parameter syntax, and this is good for the Boost as a whole. Thanks, Maxim 23.08.07, 20:03, Steven Watanabe: > I prefer BOOST_SCOPE_EXIT((cref c)(ref r)(val v)) > for two reasons. > 1) It makes it clear that they are /not/ function > calls > 2) It's slightly easier to implement because you > can use BOOST_PP_SEQ_FOR_EACH. > In Christ, > Steven Watanabe

[admin] Release schedule proposal
by Beman Dawes 23 Aug '07

23 Aug '07

Proposal -------- * Quarterly release schedule, with the target release date the 15th of the first month of each quarter. * If a release is late, that does not slip the date of the next quarter's release. * If something isn't ready for the current release, it is simply held until the next release. The current release is not delayed. * Being ready means being ready by the cutoff date set by the release manager. That will be relative early in the release cycle. Rationale --------- Regular releases that occur on a predictable schedule have many benefits: * Developers know far in advance when library updates must be ready, and that's both an aid to planning and a motivation to get stuff done. * Users know far in advance when library updates will be ready, and that helps their planning and reassures them of continuing support. * Regularity creates a sense of quality and trust in Boost for both developers and users. Quarterly releases seem about right: * It's often enough that the process will become smooth. * It's often enough that developers won't feel pressure to release immature updates. * It's often enough that users will feel bug fixes and new libraries are being released on a timely basis. * It isn't so often that users will view Boost as unstable, particularly given the predictable schedule. * It isn't so often that developers and release managers will become fatigued. * A quarterly (or similar) schedule has been very successful for both open source and commercial projects. Comments? The rationale depends a lot on my personal experiences, but I don't see that as a bad thing. --Beman

[intrusive] iterator_to naming and default disposer
by Cory Nelson 23 Aug '07

23 Aug '07

Hi Ion, Given that iterator_to turns a reference into an iterator, shouldn't this be to_iterator? Also with the clear/erase_and_dispose functions could there be a default disposer that calls delete? Thanks! -- Cory Nelson

[rfc] small flags library
by Iain Denniston 23 Aug '07

23 Aug '07

[Uploaded to the vault (flags_v1.zip) – complete with docs and test file (no jam file yet – sorry) - tested in vc8 and MinGW GCC 3.4.2.] I’ve proposed this before and gotten a little interest – so I figured I’d try again (particularly now that 1.34.1 is out) and see if I could get some more interest! At its most simple, it’s a way to stop function users providing difficult to detect erroneous data. The best way to work out what this lib does is probably read the docs I uploaded, but for here I’ll take one of the examples I use from the docs: using boost::flags enum foo { foo_1 = 1<<0, foo_2 = 1<<1, }; enum bar { bar_1 = 1<<2, bar_2 = 1<<3, }; void func1(unsigned int options) { //do stuff } void func2(flags<foo> options) { //do stuff } int main(int argc, char * argv[]) { func1(foo_1 | foo_2 | bar_1 | bar_2); //Compiles fine func2(flags<foo>(foo_1) | foo_2 | bar_1 | bar_2); //Compile time error - cannot convert bar to foo } Additionally, sometimes it is useful to force the user to supply a flag rather than allow them to supply none (i.e. '0') - the flags_no_default provides this functionality. The library is not very big and it’s not very clever :) but the hope is to push errors back to compile time, at little or no runtime cost. If people are interested or not either way it’s cool – but since it’s now in the vault anyone can use it if they want. Hope it all makes sense! Questions/comments/criticism gratefully received. IAIN
