At the time no one seemed interested. I think I should be able to recreate what I had done to make it work for you if your use case is DOM centric like Bjorn Reese's post indicates is one of the draw backs of using ptree. -John Venarchick

[ANN] "Die Boost C++ Bibliotheken", 2nd edition available (German edition)
by Boris Schäling 01 May '15

01 May '15

Just a quick announcement: The 2nd edition of my book "Die Boost C++ Bibliotheken" (German edition) is available. - It introduces 72 Boost libraries. - It contains more than 430 examples. - The print version has 600 pages. - There is also a Kindle, Epub and PDF version. - It's also online: <http://dieboostcppbibliotheken.de/> There is hardly any difference between the German and the English language edition. The German language edition is a bit more up-to-date after the English language edition has been published in September last year. But there is no need to read the book again in case you read the English language edition already. For those who don't know German: The English language edition remains available online at <http://theboostcpplibraries.com/>. Boris

[CrystaX.NET][multi_index][release] Segfaults with Clang 3.5 on Android
by Joaquin M Lopez Munoz 01 May '15

01 May '15

Hi, Android CrystaX.NET-* testers are segfaulting on some (~65%) of the Boost.MultiIndex tests after successful build. For instance: http://tinyurl.com/jwnfryy The curious thing is that this is Clang 3.5 only, only for some tests and the same tests across the different Android variants. I'd like to help fixing whatever it's required (if anything) in the lib so as to make this work, but the existing info does not provide any clue. Maybe the regression tester maintainer can shed some more light here? Thank you, Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica

[1.58.0] Adding Oracle Solaris Studio 12.4 to the list of tested compilers
by Aparna Kumta 01 May '15

01 May '15

One of our primary goals has been to get Oracle Solaris Studio C++ compiler listed on the boost website. With this mind, we have been testing the Boost Nightly regression tests for few months now. For the past month have been submitting the results on http://www.boost.org/development/tests/develop/developer/summary.html (look for the SunOS tab). Could the Oracle Solaris Studio C++ compiler be added to the boost website under 'COMPILERS TESTED' section at http://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_58_0.html ? Thanks, Aparna
