Hooking up the exception lib for testing?
by Emil Dotchevski 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

I've committed Boost Exception, complete with Jamfile under libs/exception/test. It seems that to activate the automatic testing I need to insert a line in status/Jamfile.v2, but I decided to ask before I modify it -- please someone make sure my Jamfile is correct (works for me locally.) (I have not yet committed the changes to throw_exception.hpp necessary to enable the cloning support for all exceptions emitted by Boost; before I do that I want to make sure the rest of the code works on all platforms.)

A possible bug in Boost.property_tree with UNICODE XML file?
by Tan, Tom (Shanghai) 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

I've posted this message in the user list before with no response. I realized it might be better to post here again since boost.property_tree is still in the svn trunk yet to be released with boost 1.5.0. I am trying to use read_xml() on an xml-format config file, which starts like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"> ..... This file is well-formed and verified by "XML Copy Writer", it can also be open by IE or Filefox with no problem. I am using this code snippet to parse this file: try{ read_xml<wptree>(xmlfile,pt); } catch(xml_parser-error e) { e.what(); } and it throws an exception saying "expected <". By looking into the code I found that, this caused by the fact that the xmlfile starts with a Unicode Byte Order Mark (BOM)-0xFFFE . "fffe 3c00 3f00 7800 ......" However, read_xml() cannot handle this BOM byte and throws. It's easy to fix it by simply discard the BOM byte, but I wonder whether there is already a flag to enable/disable this that I am unaware of. BTW, I am using the svn trunk version. Can anyone help to clarify? Thanks, tom

General Devel - Can I help?
by Divye Kapoor 03 Mar '08

03 Mar '08

Hello, I am currently a second year student pursuing my B.Tech degree in Computer Science at the Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee, India and I would like to know how I can help out with the Boost project. I have a strong background in C++ and the STL and I'm an avid user of some of the Boost libraries like Spirit and Lambda. Also, (I guess this question is pretty old and must have been debated many times), are there any plans for creation of a portable network communication library as part of Boost? And can I help out in that regard? Yours sincerely, Divye Kapoor -- Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road moved beneath the chicken depends upon your frame of reference.

[signals]question regarding header placement
by Robert Ramey 03 Mar '08

03 Mar '08

I've started to look at the signals/slots libraries for a task I have to do and have found it interesting. I'm curious about the header placement of headers and namespaces used by this library. Specifically I find the following. boost/signal.hpp containing boost::signal boost/visit_each.hpp containing boost::visit_each boost/last_value.hpp containnig boost::last_value as these are part of the signals library, should they be in boost/signals/... with namespaces of boost/signal/signal ... etc.? This is especially confusing in the case of signal.hpp which is not at all were one would expect to find it. Are these things where they are due to some oversight? Or were they placed there for some special reason. Were their separate reviews of these things. They seem to be part of the signals/slots libraries. Robert Ramey

Ann: Floating Point Utilities Review starts today
by John Maddock 03 Mar '08

03 Mar '08

The review of Johan Rade's floating point utilities starts today. Code and docs can be downloaded from : http://www.boost-consulting.com/vault/index.php?action=downloadfile&filenam… The library consists of three parts: 1) Floating point classification routines: these are optimised implementations of the C99 and C++ TR1 functions fpclassify, isinf, isnan, isnormal and isfinite. From Boost-1.35 onwards these are already a part of Boost.Math (see http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/libs/math/doc/sf_and_dist/html/math_to…) so if accepted the two implementations will get merged. The review here should focus on the implementation used, and testing on whatever platforms you have available - in particular are there any circumstances (compiler optimisation settings etc) where this implementation breaks? 2) Sign manipulation functions: implementations of the C99 and C++ TR1 functions copysign and signbit, plus the changesign function. Two of these (signbit and copysign) are currently undocumented members of Boost.Math, and again the two implementations will get merged if this library is accepted. Again the main focus of the review here is the implementation, and testing thereof especially in the presence of compiler optimisations. 3) C++ locale facets: these will read and write non-finite numbers in a portable and round-trippable way: that is not otherwise possible with current C++ std library implementations. These are particularly useful for number-serialisation for example. Since the design is already specified by the C++ standard for these facets, your review here should focus on implementation, testing, documentation, and perhaps where in Boost these should best be placed if accepted. These look to be a useful collection of utilities, so I'll look forward to your reviews, Regards, John Maddock, Floating Point Utilities Review Manager.

"Component-based" library (request for critique)
by Jo�o Henriques 03 Mar '08

03 Mar '08

Hi there, I haven't posted to the boost mailing lists except for the Spirit group, but I've been a user for some time. I'm still not sure if this is the right place to post this. The main reason why I came to this list is that I need some real critique on this library of sorts and if you think it's good enough, it might be submitted as an actual addition to boost. What scares me the most is the huge amounts of "boostification" that it probably needs, but I'm willing to give it a try. For those not familiar with component-based design, it can be put very simply as a "programmer-friendly" form of multiple-inheritance: we want to build classes using different components, worrying as little as possible about the specific details of these components. The fact that a class has a specific component is also not known in advance, but user code must be able to access any component-based class through the same interface. The simplest piece of code can produce this effect: class ComponentA { public: int x, y; }; class ComponentB { public: int i; }; class Entity { public: virtual ComponentA* a() { return 0; }; virtual ComponentB* b() { return 0; }; }; class Ent1 : public Entity { public: ComponentA _a; ComponentA* a() { return &_a; }; }; class Ent2 : public Entity { public: ComponentA _a; ComponentA* a() { return &_a; }; ComponentB _b; ComponentB* b() { return &_b; }; }; Ent1 only uses ComponentA, so ent1.b() returns a null pointer. In a more pratical example, many "virtual components" would be defined in the base class Entity, but only a handful would be overrided by the derived classes and actually used. Treating an instance as the base class, it's easy to inspect whether it has a given component or not. No downcasting is ever needed. The inclusion of each component as member instead of taking the multiple-inheritance approach avoids any name conflicts and "ambiguous usages"; so a component can be written as a self-contained class, not worrying about the outside world at all. I realize this example is trivial and anyone could come up with a similar system on their own. What interests me is the sistematic usage of this technique and the definition of a common interface that turns each of these definitions into a one-liner. The most useful implementation of these ideas allows "dynamic components" on top of the ones burned into a derived class, and any component at all can be enabled or disabled (with relevant constructors/destructors called), without any knowlege of whether it's dynamic or permanent. Accessing dynamic components incurs some overhead, but for the other ones it is the minimum possible. So, in conclusion, I'd like to know what you think. Maybe this is a trivial system not good enough to be called a "library", maybe it's useful but not Boost material, or maybe you think that after some work it could be a nice addition. What I want is some critique. If you think it's worthwhile, I can provide the final code (with dynamic entities and all) for you to review. João Henriques

[1.35][website] Release History; Regression link
by Jonathan Turkanis 03 Mar '08

03 Mar '08

Hi, 1. I just updated boost_1_35_0.qbk; since I don't know the quickbook format, I'd appreciate it if someone would look over it quickly to make sure I haven't broken anything. 2. I've removed an obsolete table of supported compilers from the Iostreams docs; I'd like to replace it with a link to the regression test reports for 1.35, but I don't know where that will be. Thanks, -- Jonathan Turkanis CodeRage http://www.coderage.com
