[locale] Build failure on develop
by Marcel Raad 30 May '15

30 May '15

Hi, since Tuesday, all Boost.Locale tests have been failing on all compilers: http://www.boost.org/development/tests/dev elop/developer/locale.html The MSVC results only mention an expected has_iconv.cpp build failure and it seems all other results only say "Error extracting file: No matching files were found." I tested on my local machine with MSVC 14 RC and the library wouldn't compile because of a missing "#include <map>": https://github.com/boostorg/locale/pull/8

[bind] Placeholders suggestion, std and boost
by Edward Diener 30 May '15

30 May '15

I realize that changing boost::bind so by default that placeholders of the form _n needing some sort of namespace in front of it will break plenty of code, so I am not suggesting doing that. What I would like to suggest is a Boost.bind macro, which when used before including <boost/bind>, would put the boost::bind placeholders of the form _n in a boost::placeholders namespace. The reason for this suggestion is so that boost::bind and std::bind can be similar syntactically enough so that one could choose one or the other depending on compiler support. Since in the C++ std the placeholders are in the std::placeholders namespace, having a means to have the boost::bind placeholders in the boost::placeholders namespace would be a means to that end.

[type_traits] Big changes in develop
by John Maddock 30 May '15

30 May '15

A heads up that the "Version2" rewrite of type traits is now in develop. There's still lots to do - more PR's will happen over the coming weeks to remove obsoleted code from other libraries (and quash the warnings that they'd otherwise generate). The docs also need a major update. In the mean time please do shout loudly if there are any regressions caused by this change. Thanks, John.

All test runners (windows and linux) crashing
by Tom Kent 29 May '15

All my test runners are quickly crashing during each run...here's the end of the output in my results/bjam.log file: boost-test(RUN) "test/doc_boost_test_macro1" : "libs/test/doc/examples/boost_test_macro1.cpp" boost-test(RUN_FAIL) "test/doc_boost_test_macro2" : "libs/test/doc/examples/boost_test_macro2.cpp" boost-test(RUN_FAIL) "test/doc_boost_test_macro3" : "libs/test/doc/examples/boost_test_macro3.cpp" error: at D:/t08/c/boost_bb/src/kernel\modules.jam:107 error: Unable to find file or target named error: '../doc/examples/test_float_01.cpp' error: referred to from project at error: '../libs/test/test' Any thoughts?

[type_traits][units] migrating from ice_and
by Jürgen Hunold 28 May '15

28 May '15

Hi! I've noticed that boost/type_traits/detail/ice_or.hpp and boost/type_traits/detail/ice_and.hpp have been deprecated. Both headers are used as an implementation detail in boost/units/scaled_base_unit.hpp, now resulting in lots of warnings: In file included from .../boost/units/scaled_base_unit.hpp:20: .../boost/type_traits/detail/ice_or.hpp:17:10: warning: NOTE: Use of this header (ice_or.hpp) is deprecated [-W#pragma-messages] # pragma message("NOTE: Use of this header (ice_or.hpp) is deprecated") Question: Is there a known migration path from type_traits to what? MPL? Or am I better off copying both files to Boost.Units and be done? Yours, Jürgen -- * Dipl.-Math. Jürgen Hunold ! * voice: ++49 4257 300 !

[testing][teeks] MSVC-14 errors about MSPDB140.DLL
by Andrey Semashev 27 May '15

27 May '15

Hi, All tests for Boost.Log (and I suspect any other built libraries) on MSVC-14 are failing because of this error: LINK : fatal error LNK1101: incorrect MSPDB140.DLL version; recheck installation of this product See here for example: http://www.boost.org/development/tests/develop/developer/output/teeks99-08f… Could this be fixed?

[typeof] Weird VC++ compiler bug
by Edward Diener 27 May '15

27 May '15

I discovered a strange VC++ bug using Boost.typeof. I am not posting this to rag VC++ but wondering if there is some known workaround in Boost or in Boost.config. #include <boost/typeof/typeof.hpp> template <class T> struct dereference { typedef BOOST_TYPEOF_TPL(*T()) type; }; int main() { } Compiling this with VC++12 gives: test_vc_type_of_indirection.cpp(6) : error C2100: illegal indirection test_vc_type_of_indirection.cpp(7) : see reference to class template instantiation 'dereference<T>' being compiled Notice that I am not even instantiating 'dereference'. But if I write: #include <boost/typeof/typeof.hpp> template <class T> struct dereference { void afunction() { typedef BOOST_TYPEOF_TPL(*T()) type; } }; int main() { } all is well, for all the good it does me. BOOST_TYPEOF_TPL(*T()) expands to: typename boost::type_of::msvc_typeid_wrapper<sizeof(*boost::type_of::encode_start(*T()))>::type and if I substitute this directly the same results occur. I can report this to the VC++ bug tracker but wanted to see if this is a known problem with VC++ in Boost, some weird error for which maybe Boost has some workaround syntax.

Fwd: Binary Region Differentials
by Kenneth Adam Miller 27 May '15

27 May '15

Suppose I have a rather huge binary region. Transferring it by any means is an expensive operation. But changes to it will only be some fraction at worst case as large as the binary region itself, but in practice will typically be regional byte blobs, mostly not more than a single kilobyte long.. Is there any data structure that already handles this, where I could say, have every instance start off from the original binary region, and calculate what any other instance of that data structure has by "applicating the deltas"?
