Boost Phoenix 3.0.1 - version numbers and ChangeLog
by Fletcher, John P 31 Jan '14

31 Jan '14

Boost Phoenix 3.0.1 is now on master. I am fixing the bugs previously reported for Boost Phoenix. I have started a file libs/phoenix/ChangeLog (following the example in wave) to log changes made. I am incrementing the lowest number of the version when I merge changes to master and origin/master and also changing the version number in Phoenix and reporting this in the ChangeLog. I hope this will make it easier in the future to keep track of exactly which version it is which is causing a problem. I would welcome any comments on the TODO list in the ChangeLog, in particular where there are problems caused by phoenix for other libraries. I am aware that this applies to boost/log. I am hopeful that some fixes of early bug reports will help with later bugs as well. I have just fixed 5715 which related to the comma operator in statement blocks, and can be fixed with the addition of a header. This fixes a silent error in the execution as compared with phoenix V2 and may well fix other problems. That fix is still in develop and not master until some tests have been done. John Fletcher

Ownership of tickets for Boost Phoenix
by Fletcher, John P 31 Jan '14

31 Jan '14

I have taken over as maintainer of Boost Phoenix and have started to fix the reported bugs. How do I get to be the owner of the bugs so that I can change their status when they have been fixed and tested? Also how can I be sure to get notification of new bug reports? John Fletcher

[program_options] documentation for validators
by Alain Miniussi 30 Jan '14

30 Jan '14

Hi, I have a question regarding the validators namespace of program_options documentation. That namespace is referenced in the tutorial in http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/doc/html/program_options/howto.html and some of its functions are used but there is no documentation related with that namespace. Actually, it does not even appears in the reference manual of the lib. Is that intended ? Regards Alain

[spirit.lex] 9580
by Vyacheslav Andrejev 30 Jan '14

30 Jan '14

Hi All, Can somebody take a look at bug #9580? It's a C++ puzzle. Two as if equivalent expressions demonstrate different behavior. This one auto expr = (this->self("SOME_STATE") += someTokenDef); calls boost::proto::detail::exprns_::operator +=. However this auto lex_def = this->self("SOME_STATE"); auto expr = (lex_def += someTokenDef); calls boost::spirit::lex::detail::operator +=. My guess is that it changes templates instantiaon order, but still I can't explain it and thus can't fix it. -- -- Vyacheslav Andrejev

Help please with Boost Discussion Policy
by Fletcher, John P 30 Jan '14

30 Jan '14

It has been pointed out to me that I need to change my habits from top posting to be conformant to the Boost Discussion Policy http://www.boost.org/community/policy.html I accept this fully and I am seeking some guidance how to achieve this. At my place of work our email client is Microsoft Outlook 2010 and the normal practice is top posting. When I am at home I can access the same system via a web email client which does the same thing. The Boost policy document reffers to Quote-Fix (http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/oe-quotefix/ ) which was last updated in 2006 and does not work with current versions of Outlook. There is also this: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/macros4outlook/index.php?title=QuoteF… I am doing most of my Boost work from home and want to be able to communicate freely. Ideally what I want to do is to switch between the styles so that only my Boost and related work is in quoted style. Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you John Fletcher

[config] Removing support for old compilers: do we have a consensus yet?
by John Maddock 30 Jan '14

30 Jan '14

Folks, As you know Boost.Config has had it's support for old compilers stripped out, and this is a controversial change. We're now at the point where I'd really like to get the routine changes/updates into release, but to do that we need a final decision on whether to keep (and release) Steven Kelly's changes in develop. So do we have a final decision? Thanks, John.

[git][predef] Pull fails
by Andrey Semashev 27 Jan '14

27 Jan '14

Hi, I checked out Boost on my Windows machine quite some time ago and today I tried to update it. I did: git submodule foreach git checkout develop git submodule foreach git pull The last command failed on Boost.Predef (log attached). I did not change it and I don't understand why there is conflict. I tried 'git reset --hard' and pull again, but it fails again the same way. How can I fix it?
