Boost logos on mailing list archives linking to non-boost pages instead of boost.org

Hi all, I have just spotted a curious detail on 3 Boost mailing lists. The logos (C++ Boost / Boost C++ libraries) point to web pages that are not affiliated in any way to boost. The concerned lists are: - http://lists.boost.org/boost-docs/ points to www [dot] boost [dot] com - http://lists.boost.org/boost-testing/ points to www [dot] boost [dot] com - http://lists.boost.org/geometry/ points to www [dot] osl [dot] iu [dot] edu I am not sure if this is the correct list to write to. If anyone knows what to do about it, please answer to the list or inform the correct person. Regards, Marek Kurdej

Understanding Jam Files
by Axel Ismirlian 01 Aug '14

I have been working on boost for about a month now, but I still don't fully understand boost's build configuration very well. More specifically, I do not understand where the properties array gets filled in and where that data comes from. I saw the property.jam file which seems to refine the list of properties and take away unmet conditions, and bind dependencies. I also saw the property-set.jam file which creates property lists from raw properties, but where do the raw properties come from exactly? Does every property-set created come through this file? It would be very helpful if someone could point me in the right direction. Sincerely, -Axel

Hi all, There is multi-threaded application which will access data containers at the same time. Which is the best choice between synchronization and strands. Thanks, dd
