[test] floating point comparison
by Emil Dotchevski 28 Apr '15

28 Apr '15

Hello, Can someone please tell me exactly what do I need to include and which namespace to use to get exact same behavior as: #include <boost/test/floating_point_comparison.hpp> bool check( float a, float b, float tolerance ) { using namespace boost::test_tools; return check_is_close(a,b,fraction_tolerance(tolerance)); } (The above used to work with older Boost versions but no longer.) Thanks, Emil

[boost, config, context, log, 1.58] address-model and architecture detection
by Vladimir Prus 28 Apr '15

28 Apr '15

Hi, for some time on develop, top-level Jamroot used to deduce address-model and architecture from compiler. The only issue was that both properties would be added to targets paths when not necessary. Fix for that has been just committed, for develop: https://github.com/boostorg/boost/commit/945e3c0bbdd31ce8c297e0aff5340f0adb… and I performed these operations on master: - Merged all of Boost.Build changes: https://github.com/boostorg/build/commit/2e764707e03d25b6928501c25a717e195c… - Cherry-picked one Boost.Context change: https://github.com/boostorg/context/commit/9b392c68b59021aa4801dcb245bc64ad… - Cherry-picked one Boost.Log change: https://github.com/boostorg/log/commit/27a822a6b82f8bf34cbc681ac6583412bdf2… - Cherry-picked two root project changes and updated pointers to Context and Log: https://github.com/boostorg/boost/commit/e3bc35f7891e72ad74e57dc216db899d16… https://github.com/boostorg/boost/commit/beb53b6b9574f95309384bfc5afffb40d4… https://github.com/boostorg/boost/commit/b69a072401695c9978085158af4c1ea84c… With that, "./b2 -n" in up-to-date checkout of superproject works fine on Linux. Also, "./b2 -n --with-context --with-system" works fine, no address-model elements in path. Putting explicit address-model=64 does not change path. Putting explicit address-model=32 does add this element to path, as expected. Note that: - I did not merge any other Boost.Context or Boost.Log changes. - Nothing was required for Boost.Config, since it was merged earlier. I'd appreciate if people test current state of master branch, and report any concerns. Thanks, -- Vladimir Prus CodeSourcery / Mentor Embedded http://vladimirprus.com

[afio] Compilation error in applications, including tests
by Brian Ravnsgaard Riis 27 Apr '15

27 Apr '15

Hi, I wanted to try out the proposed AFIO library, but I'm having trouble with compilation. I followed the instructions for inserting it into the boost checkout, by symlinking libs/afio to the AFIO checkout. Boost compilation happens correctly, including the AFIO library, however I get include failures on BindLib when I try to compile a test program. I then tried running the test suite, as per instructions: $ ./b2 libs/afio/test [snip] gcc.compile.c++.pch bin.v2/libs/afio/test/gcc-4.9.1/debug/threading-multi/test_functions.hpp.gch In file included from ./boost/afio/spinlock/include/boost/spinlock/concurrent_unordered_map.hpp:35:0, from ./boost/afio/config.hpp:341, from ./boost/afio/afio.hpp:41, from libs/afio/test/test_functions.hpp:17: ./boost/afio/spinlock/include/boost/spinlock/spinlock.hpp:81:36: fatal error: bindlib/include/import.h: No such file or directory #include "bindlib/include/import.h" ^ compilation terminated. ... And more of the same ilk. Am I missing some obvious configuration or something? The boost version is at tag boost-1.58.0 and AFIO is at tag v1.31_Boost_v1.58. The BindLib submodule does contain include/import.h. Regards, Brian

[Property Tree] No documentation for <boost/property_tree/ptree.hpp>
by Nevin Liber 27 Apr '15

At < http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_58_0/doc/html/property_tree/reference.html#…> The entry for "Header <boost/property_tree/ptree.hpp>" is blank. It looks like a 1.58 bug. Kind regards, Nevin :-) -- Nevin ":-)" Liber <mailto:nevin@eviloverlord.com> (847) 691-1404

1.58.1 bugfix release necessary?
by Oliver Kowalke 27 Apr '15

27 Apr '15

Unfortunately boost.context fails to compile for gcc-4.8.x and option -std=c++11. Because of a dependency to boost.context, boost.asio and boost.coroutine do not compile too. I've pushed a pull-request to boost.config - the patch adds C++14 test macro BOOST_NO_CXX14_INTEGER_SEQUENCE ( https://github.com/boostorg/config/pull/57). Oliver

[vmd] Getting regression tests
by Edward Diener 27 Apr '15

27 Apr '15

I created a pull request for boostorg/boost so that VMD is added to the regression tests. It has been sitting there for a long time now. Can someone at the Boost superproject level please address this pull request ? I want to have VMD added as a library in the next Boost release.

[interprocess] condition variables and spurious wakeups
by eg 26 Apr '15

26 Apr '15

Hi, I was hoping to get some clarification on whether the boost::interprocess library implementation of condition variables is susceptible to spurious wake ups. Most other library implementations (pthreads, boost::thread, std::thread) seem to be and are documented as such. I couldn't find any mention in the interprocess documentation nor find anything definitive in my google searching. Thanks in advance, Ed
