Hi all, I have some documentation changes that I hope can make it into the release. Neither of these changes affect the beta pdf files. Change set 64705 updates the MPL documentation to include docs for HAS_XXX_TEMPLATE_DEF, etc. Thanks to Steven Watanabe for his help with building the html files. Change sets 64695 and 64696 update the result_of documentation explaining how to enable the use of decltype and adding new examples. Daniel Walker

by John Maddock 11 Aug '10

11 Aug '10

There are some patches in Trunk for the bcp tool that fix various issues when extracting "all of Boost" that I forgot to merge to release (my bad), the changes don't effect anything else, is it acceptable to merge these to release? Diffs attached, in case they help, Cheers, John

[boost.Serialization V1.42.0] Question about BOOST_SERIALIZATION_SPLIT_FREE and non-public members
by gmkdroid 11 Aug '10

11 Aug '10

Hello, I'm trying to add Boost serialization to a class which has private data members. I'm using the "non-intrusive" free save/load split method. I've added "friend class boost::serialization::access;" to my class, but I still receive a "cannot access private member..." compiler error. How can I give the load/save functions friend access to my class? I'm using Visual Studio 2008 with Boost Version 1.42.0. Thanks, Glen

[svn sandbox]
by Jeffrey Lee Hellrung, Jr. 10 Aug '10

10 Aug '10

When I try to SVN update the sandbox, I get the following error message: Update Can't create directory 'D:\boost-svn\boost-sandbox\statistics\support\boost\assign\v2\chain\aux': The directory name is invalid. It doesn't look so invalid. Is anyone else having any issues, or have any suggestions? I've tried "clean up", no help. I'm not an expert in SVN. Windows 7; TortoiseSVN 1.6.10, Build 19898 - 64 Bit (latest version AFAIK). Should I just recheckout the repo? (I'm sending a mailing list message first as checking out the repo takes a lot of bandwidth and time.) Thanks in advance, - Jeff

by John Maddock 10 Aug '10

10 Aug '10

A PDF build of the docs for Boost-1.44-beta is now available from https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost-docs/1.44.0/boost_1_44_p… if library authors would like to give their docs a once-over to check for SNAFU's that would be great. Regards, John.

Any interest in creating new CORBA IDL to C++ mapping?
by Johnny Willemsen 10 Aug '10

10 Aug '10

Hi all, We are talking with various users of TAO to see if we can create a new modern IDL to C++ mapping. The idea is to drop all old compilers which lead to the current mapping and make a new IDL to C++ mapping that is using the latest draft C++0x standard. We want to use full STL, shared_ptr, r-value, and everything else we could need. The idea is to prototype this first in TAO and than see if on the long term we can propose a new IDL to C++ V2 mapping to the OMG I did find some discussions on this list about 2 years ago, are people interested in this effort, any input is welcome.
