Boost 1_58_0_b1_rc2 is available for testing
by Marshall Clow 21 Mar '15

21 Mar '15

Release candidate files for 1.58.0 beta 1 are available at http://boost.cowic.de/rc/ As always, the release managers would appreciate it if you download the candidate of your choice and give building it a try. Please report both success and failure, and anything else that is noteworthy. This helps ensure the candidates build OK before we push them out to SourceForge. Changes since rc1: * Added the new libraries endian, sort, and winapi. IMPORTANT NOTE: There is a bug with the build scripts; you have to specify the address-mode and architecture to b2. I used: ./b2 address-model=64 architecture=x86 to test this. The files (and associated md5s) are: MD5 (boost_1_58_0_b1_rc2.7z) = c58623e8c3d48154bdb1fa2ee5cdbfab MD5 (boost_1_58_0_b1_rc2.tar.bz2) = 94480c2d9de3804a1a4b626a7828bec0 MD5 (boost_1_58_0_b1_rc2.tar.gz) = f7d4b398388c13ca30960c92b8d6342f MD5 (boost_1_58_0_b1_rc2.zip) = 2e9bdfd8dab269a69e4ea4e5ae5b6d47 Thanks! -- The release managers

[exception] c++11 updates
by Ryan Burn 20 Mar '15

20 Mar '15

I've been working with boost exception and looking at the develop branch on github it looks like much of it hasn't been updated for c++11. Is anyone already working on this already? If not, I'd like to make the following changes: - add rvalue-reference overloads to the error_info class ( https://github.com/boostorg/exception/blob/develop/include/boost/exception/…) and elsewhere so that you can do things like throw my_error() << my_info(std::move(a)) - replace occurrences of "throw()" with a macro (something like BOOST_NO_THROW_SPECIFICATION) that expands to "throw()" if compiling with c++98 and "noexcept" if compiling >= c++11 would these changes be ok? Thanks, Ryan

[1.58] Request to add fix for ticket #6766 to 1.58 release
by Aparna Kumta 20 Mar '15

20 Mar '15

Boost ticket #6766 ( https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/6766 ) affects several of our tests running with Oracle Solaris Studio compiler. It prevents building of libboost_unit_test_framework.a which in turn causes tests from many of the libraries (accumulators, algorithm, assign, lexical_cast, msm, odeint, polygon, range and sync) to fail due to a dependency on libboost_unit_test_framework.a. A PR for this has been submitted.https://github.com/boostorg/test/pull/36 This fix alone causes the pass rate for Boost 1.58 with the Oracle Solaris Studio compiler to increase by about 15%. This fix is not in the 'develop' branch yet. We would very much appreciate if this could be considered for putback into the Boost 1.58 release. Thanks, Aparna

[1.58] Developchanges not yet merged to master?
by Beman Dawes 20 Mar '15

20 Mar '15

FWIW, I got a private email worrying about unmerged fixes: > This is the list of PR's that have been merged into the develop branch but > have not made it into the 1.58 release candidate: > > https://github.com/boostorg/serialization/pull/9 > https://github.com/boostorg/odeint/pull/7 > https://github.com/boostorg/odeint/pull/6 > https://github.com/boostorg/pool/pull/7 > https://github.com/uBLAS/ublas/pull/26 > https://github.com/boostorg/odeint/pull/9 > https://github.com/boostorg/odeint/pull/8 > https://github.com/boostorg/lexical_cast/pull/10 > https://github.com/boostorg/type_traits/pull/11 > https://github.com/boostorg/type_index/pull/6 I asked the sender to post this sort of message directly to the list, but with 1.58.0 so close it seemed worthwhile to send the list along. --Beman

I’m sorry to fork your README file on your rep. i was just concerned to know how to make bold and somethings you do in your file, there is nothing to do with plagiarism with this, don’t worry about your proposal. Apologizes Islam Taha

Windows Develop Tests Failing
by Tom Kent 20 Mar '15

20 Mar '15

All my windows test runners for develop (teeks99-08*) have been failing for the last few days (I just noticed). They run for a long while, then end with the following at the end of their results/bjam.log file: common.mkdir D:\local\teeks99-08\d\results\boost\bin.v2\libs\multiprecision\test\number_concept_check_cpp_dec_float_no_et.test\msvc-11.0\debug\address-model-64\architecture-x86\debug-symbols-off\link-static\runtime-link-static if not exist "D:\local\teeks99-08\d\results\boost\bin.v2\libs\multiprecision\test\number_concept_check_cpp_dec_float_no_et.test\msvc-11.0\debug\address-model-64\architecture-x86\debug-symbols-off\link-static\runtime-link-static\\" mkdir "D:\local\teeks99-08\d\results\boost\bin.v2\libs\multiprecision\test\number_concept_check_cpp_dec_float_no_et.test\msvc-11.0\debug\address-model-64\architecture-x86\debug-symbols-off\link-static\runtime-link-static" failed to write output file 'D:\local\teeks99-08\d\results\boost\bin.v2\libs\multiprecision\test\number_concept_check_cpp_dec_float_no_et.test\msvc-11.0\debug\address-model-64\architecture-x86\debug-symbols-off\link-static\runtime-link-static\number_concept_check_cpp_dec_float_no_et.obj.rsp'! At first I thought I might be running out of disk space or something, but that all seems fine. Has anyone seen this before? Tom
