[Interprocess] move semantics for intrusive_ptr
by Mikolaj Krzewicki 19 Jan '17

19 Jan '17

Dear all, would it be possible to add the rvalue operators to interprocess::intrusive_ptr akin to what is already available in "regular" boost::intrusive_ptr: // Move support #if !defined( BOOST_NO_CXX11_RVALUE_REFERENCES ) intrusive_ptr(intrusive_ptr && rhs) BOOST_NOEXCEPT : px( rhs.px ) { rhs.px = 0; } intrusive_ptr & operator=(intrusive_ptr && rhs) BOOST_NOEXCEPT { this_type( static_cast< intrusive_ptr && >( rhs ) ).… [View More]

[outcome] "sea of noexcept, islands of throwing"
by Andrzej Krzemienski 18 Jan '17

18 Jan '17

Niall, I moved this to another thread, as I believe it is quite independent of the documentation review. I am trying to understand the concept of "sea of noexcept, islands of throwing", and its significance. First, is this programming technique the primary motivation for Boost.Outcome? In the docs, I only saw a small mention of it, but from your replies it looks like this is an important part of the library. But I might be wrong. This "sea and islands" are quite similar to what is described … [View More]

Generating Boost documentation with pandoc
by Vinícius dos Santos Oliveira 18 Jan '17

18 Jan '17

Has anyone tried to generate Boost-styled documentation using pandoc? I never fully liked PDF documentation because I never actually print documentation. However, a few weeks ago I got an ebook reader and I've been fascinated by the ePUB format. I'm using it to read even the IETF's RFCs and it's very pleasant. I'm using ePUB to read files even on my usual laptop. Anyway, I was wondering how nice would be to have an ePUB file containing the whole Boost documentation. pandoc has docbook … [View More]

[outcome] Added LEWG expected<T, E> implementation, what about the tutorial?
by Niall Douglas 17 Jan '17

17 Jan '17

Quite a bit of feedback from here, from SG14 and from Reddit expressed disappointment that Outcome doesn't implement the LEWG expected<T, E>. basic_monad makes implementing a fully compliant expected<T, E> just a few hours of work, so I went ahead and added one today and you can see its reference docs at https://ned14.github.io/boost.outcome/group__expected.html. These are the known deviations from the LEWG proposal: * P0323R1 doesn't yet specify what will be done if you try … [View More]

[function] Problem with simple pointer to function
by Fu ji 17 Jan '17

17 Jan '17

Hello all, I have a problem with boost::function, when I try to assign function to pointer I have a crash. It is simple void function(); boost::function <void (void)> m_Wakeup; and the code where crush occurs looks like: Wakeup = &function; Here is also the dump: Program terminated with signal 6, Aborted. *#0 0x03c4a092 in _dl_start () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2* *#0 0x03c4a092 in _dl_start () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2* *#1 0x03d0eca5 in raise () from /opt/vmware/cimpdk-6.0.0-… [View More]

Interest in updated expression template library?
by Zach Laine 17 Jan '17

17 Jan '17

I'm trying to gauge interest in submitting a library to the review queue, It's an expression template library called Yap using C++14 and C++17 features, built on top of Hana. It does not work quite the same as Proto, though of course it covers the same problem domain. My goal for the library was to cover the Proto functionality (while allowing the user to write less code than she would have had to with Proto) plus more functionality made easier by the new language features. In the examples … [View More]

[SmartPtr] alternative to enable_shared_from_this
by Roberto Hinz 16 Jan '17

16 Jan '17

Dear Boost Community, I've been following this list for a time with the desire of contributing to Boost. It seems to me a good idea to start with small and easy to review proposals, before attempting anything big. So my first shot is shared_handle class, an alternative to enable_shared_from_this that doesn't suffer from multiple inheritance issues. It also provides the capability of instantiating a shared_ptr to a member object. doc: https://robhz786.github.io/smart_ptr/shared_handle.html… [View More]
