[Build] Test file name conflicts
by Louis Dionne 09 Oct '15

09 Oct '15

Hi, While trying to create Jamfiles for Boost.Hana's unit tests, the following situation came up. I have two unit tests in files foo/main.cpp bar/main.cpp Then, my Jamfile.v2 contains the following: import testing ; test-suite xxx : [ run foo/main.cpp ] [ run bar/main.cpp ] ; When I run `b2`, I get the following: error: No best alternative for ./main next alternative: required properties: (empty) matched next alternative: required properties: (empty) matched error: No best alternative for ./main next alternative: required properties: (empty) matched next alternative: required properties: (empty) matched I think the problem is that Boost.Build tries to create two executables named `main` in the same directory, which obviously causes a name conflict. Is there any way to avoid this, besides renaming the test files?

Boost.lockfree
by Aparna Kumta 09 Oct '15

09 Oct '15

All tests for lockfree in both master and develop branch seem to fail. Error message is "../boost/system/config.hpp", line 34: Error: #error Must not define both BOOST_SYSTEM_DYN_LINK and BOOST_SYSTEM_STATIC_LINK. See develop branch: http://www.boost.org/development/tests/develop/developer/lockfree.html See master branch: http://www.boost.org/development/tests/master/developer/lockfree.html I looked at lockfree/test/Jamfile.v2 but am not sure what change needs to be made. Any suggestions? Thanks, Aparna

[Test] breaking changes in test invocation
by Jürgen Hunold 09 Oct '15

09 Oct '15

Hi, it seems that commit c0d2d29284389a1e7f924583ff6bd59128b9436b Author: Gennadiy Rozental <rogeeff(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu Oct 1 03:38:44 2015 -0400 -- is required before extra test module arguments has at least broken my Boost.Build driven tests, as I now get: Usage: my_test-clang38 [Boost.Test argument]... -- [custom test module argument]... For detailed help on Boost.Test parameters use: my_test-clang38 --help or my_test-clang38 --help=<parameter name> for every test which has extra command line arguments. I strongly suspect this breaks some libraries in Boost itself which e.g. need to read some input files. Right now I'm lost at how to fix this in Boost.Build's testing.jam as it seems we somehow have to specify different arg sets. And how to get "--" into the commandline at all. And in the light of the ongoing c++11/03 discussion it would have been nice to issue a warning before commiting breaking and/or behavioural changes. Any ideas? Yours, Jürgen -- * Dipl.-Math.

[Date_time] Adding Input Format Flag Parsers
by Yucheng Low 08 Oct '15

Hi, Boost date_time is missing a bunch of format flag parsers on input (%I,%l, %P, %p). Here is a proposed patch to add these format flags. Thanks, Yucheng

[regression] new runner missing in master results
by Ion Gaztañaga 08 Oct '15

08 Oct '15

Hi, Since MSVC-7.1 is (in theory) supported by Boost and we had no regressions on that platform, I've set up an old computer to do the job. I've executed regression tests several times and results appear in develop branch's result page but they are always missing in master branch. Logs indicate that executions and uploading were correct. Eg.: Runner "igaztanaga" present in develop: http://www.boost.org/development/tests/develop/developer/move.html Runner "igaztanaga" missing in develop: http://www.boost.org/development/tests/master/developer/move.html Any hint on what could be the problem?

Boost.test failures in develop
by Aparna Kumta 08 Oct '15

08 Oct '15

Compiling with Oracle Solaris Studio on sparc-S2 platform with -library=stlport4, I see the following failure in the develop branch: "CC" -library=stlport4 -xO4 -mt -erroff=%none -m32 -KPIC -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1 -DBOOST_CHRONO_DYN_LINK=1 -DBOOST_SYSTEM_DYN_LINK=1 -DBOOST_SYSTEM_NO_DEPRECATED -DBOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK=1 -DBOOST_TIMER_DYN_LINK=1 -DNDEBUG -D__typeof__=__typeof__ -I".." -c -o "/export/home/b_dev/results/boost/bin.v2/libs/test/build/sun/release/stdlib-sun-stlport/threading-multi/unit_test_parameters.o" "../libs/test/src/unit_test_parameters.cpp" "../boost/test/utils/runtime/errors.hpp", line 75: Error: Templates can only declare classes or functions. "../boost/test/utils/runtime/errors.hpp", line 86: Error: Templates can only declare classes or functions. "../boost/test/utils/runtime/errors.hpp", line 124: Error: ")" expected instead of "&&". "../boost/test/utils/runtime/errors.hpp", line 133: Error: ")" expected instead of "&&". "../boost/test/utils/named_params.hpp", line 69: Error: Unexpected type name "Rest" encountered.

"../boost/test/utils/named_params.hpp", line 205: Error: operator, is not defined. "../boost/test/utils/named_params.hpp", line 205: Error: "," expected instead of ";". ... Compilation aborted, too many Error messages. It seems that the code contains rvalue reference and hence the compiler is not able to build it in C++03 mode. This seems to be a recent change preventing building of libboost_unit_test_framework.a and hence causing several tests to fail. Thanks, Aparna

git reset and force push
by Raffi Enficiaud 08 Oct '15

Hi all, Is there any policy wrt. reseting a branch master/develop and force pushing? The side question is to know if the boost git tools (the bot for submodules) can cope with those operations. Thanks, Raffi

[serialization] static_warning.hpp seems behind boost/config
by Alain Miniussi 07 Oct '15

07 Oct '15

Hi, It seems that BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT_UNUSED_ATTRIBUTE has been replaced by BOOST_ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED in boost config. But static_warning.hpp is still using the old macro on master (while it is fixed on develop). On master: #define BOOST_SERIALIZATION_BSW(B, L) \ typedef boost::serialization::BOOST_SERIALIZATION_SS< \ sizeof( boost::serialization::static_warning_test< B, L > ) \ > BOOST_JOIN(STATIC_WARNING_LINE, L) BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT_UNUSED_ATTRIBUTE; On develop: #define BOOST_SERIALIZATION_BSW(B, L) \ typedef boost::serialization::BOOST_SERIALIZATION_SS< \ sizeof( boost::serialization::static_warning_test< B, L > ) \ > BOOST_JOIN(STATIC_WARNING_LINE, L) BOOST_ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED; Could someone move the fix from develop to master to keep in synch with boost/config ? It is preventing some tests to pass in mpi. Thanks -- --- Alain

Boost.Filesystem for Universal Windows (windows-api=store)
by Mikael Olenfalk 06 Oct '15

06 Oct '15

Hi, I made a first attempt at getting Boost.Filesystem to run on the Universal Windows Platform (Windows 10). I intend to do more testing of it before it is ready to be merged but I would very much appreciate a quick and dirty review already. If somebody could take a look I would be a very happy guy. https://github.com/boostorg/filesystem/pull/18 I am working on some more libraries in the hopes that I can finish off most libs in the next couple of week, but I cannot promise anything. To compile for windows store, just add "windows-api=store" to your b2 invocation. Regards, /M

Request for review: Boost.Fit
by paul Fultz 06 Oct '15

06 Oct '15

Hi All, Boost.Fit is a header-only function utility library for C++11. It supports both gcc, clang and visual studio. More info can be found here: https://github.com/pfultz2/Fit I would like to take this time to ask for a review. Vicente Botet has mentioned he could be a review manager. So I would like to move forward in scheduling a formal review. I plan to boostify the library for the formal review. In addition, I would like to ask for an informal review at this time. If anyone has some feedback or questions, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Paul
