[gsoc17] Project1: Static map: Can I implement the competency test in g++-7?
by Vic Luo 07 Mar '17

07 Mar '17

Hi, I'm Zheng Luo, a third-year undergraduate from Shanghai Jiaotong University who have special interest in C++ programming(especially for templates). This is my second year of applying Google Summer of Code and I'm willing to contribute to Static Map project mentioned on SoC2017 page. Previously I worked for a company as a C++ intern for months on Chromium-related projects where I gained some experience about C++ in industry. And my question is, am I allowed to implement the competency test of static_map in g++-7? I have just implemented my own version of static_map which supports the following operations: constexpr StaticMap<int, const char *, 3> m(make_pair(2, "abc"), make_pair(4, "def"), make_pair(6, "ghi")); if (!m[4]) abort(); const char *foo = m[2]; return 0; which is compiled into assembly as: main: xorl %eax, %eax ret under g++-7 with -std=c++1z -O3 So I was wondering did I pass the test? Thanks, -- --------------------------------- Vic Luo Shanghai Jiaotong University Key fingerprint 0x98809ca08bf5662a

[gsoc17]Getting started with Project 2 in Boost.Geometry:R-tree serialization
by Ruoyun Jing 07 Mar '17

07 Mar '17

Hi Everyone: My name is Ruoyun Jing, I am an undergraduate student in Northwest University(China) of Software Engineering.Although i am a girl,i really love coding and algorithms!!! I've coded many algorithms problems with C++ and Python,and got Bronze Metal in ACMICPC Asia Shenyang Regional contest. GSoC is really a precious chance for me to get in touch with open source software. After reading all the organizations and their projects, I'm pretty interested in R-tree serialization in Boost.Geometry. Despite my lack of project experience,i will try my best to learn ,code and communicate with mentor!!! Looking forward from you.:) Thank. -- Northwest University of China Software Engineering jingry0321(a)gmail.com <jingry0321(a)163.com>

Hello, I proposed to mentor projects 1 & 3 of Boost.Geometry. As in Boost GSoC webpage you may choose to either provide links to existing library you developed or take a competency test. For the latter the test is the same for both projects 1 & 3, you can find it in https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/SoC2017#Programmingcompetencytest2 Best, Vissarion ps. sorry for cross-posting, my previous reply inherited a weird subject title that most probably made it difficult to discover in most email clients > Date: Thu, 2 Mar 2017 15:41:39 +0530 > From: Shaunak Dixit <sdixit_be15(a)thapar.edu> > To: boost(a)lists.boost.org > Subject: Re: [boost] Regarding Mentor > Message-ID: > <CAAEsT1nYLwdmDnV5GNHuGAQH3DCejxx__AAtq+gak5EhKH1U3A(a)mail.gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 > > I would like to work on boost.geometry. > For given projects > > *PROJECT 1.

[gsoc17]Getting interests in uBLAS
by Ruoyun Jing 06 Mar '17

06 Mar '17

Hi, I am Ruoyun, I'm back again.:) In these few days, I'm getting start with boost by [link](https://github.com/boostorg/boost/wiki/Getting-Started), and got something wrong with developing/checking out a particular branch that in Ubuntu, I can not find the file called"modular-boost",but when I tried to "cd libs/geometry",it went run. When I tried to contact the devs of geometry in gitter, IRC, and email, there is only a reply for me. So I'm pretty interested in math about any aspects, because during my life of algorithm competition, I was good at algorithms in geometry, number theory, linear algebra and etc. I am really want to contact with mentor more frequently to learn more knowledge and provide more contributions to boost. I'm also interested in uBLAS and willing to learn knowledge about that !!! Looking forward from you! Thanks.

[safe_numerics] The review is ongoing
by Andrzej Krzemienski 06 Mar '17

06 Mar '17

Hi Everyone, This is to remind you about the ongoing review of safe_numerics library by Robert Ramey. The review will run till March 11th. Even if you find the format of the full review too demanding, a partial review, or simply your perception of whether the library should be given a place in Boost, will be of value, and may have an impact on the final decision. safe_numerics is a set of drop-in replacements for the built-in integer types, which make the guarantee that the results of operations are either correct according to the rules of integer arithmetic or report a diagnosable error (rather than offering modulo arithmetic results, or resulting in undefined behavior, or returning incorrect results as in the case of signed vs. unsigned comparisons). The library can be found on GitHub: https://github.com/robertramey/safe_numerics/ Online docs: http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/robertramey /safe_numerics/master/doc/html/index.html Formal Review comments can be posted publicly on the mailing list or Boost Library Incubator <http://blincubator.com>, or sent privately to the review manager, that is myself. Here are some questions you might want to answer in your review: - What is your evaluation of the design? - What is your evaluation of the implementation? - What is your evaluation of the documentation? - What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library? - Did you try to use the library? With what compiler? Did you have any problems? - How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A quick reading? In-depth study? - Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain? And most importantly: Do you think the library should be accepted as a Boost library? For more information about Boost Formal Review Process, see: http://www.boost.org/community/reviews.html Your review is needed!

[metal] Feature Complete - Request for Feedback
by Bruno Dutra 05 Mar '17

05 Mar '17

Dear community, As some of you might be aware through sporadic discussions on this mailing list throughout the last couple of years, I've been working for quite a while on a modern template metaprogramming library called Metal, that I advocate as a direct replacement for the aging Boost.MPL. I believe my work is finally complete now and so I come to you to request for feedback and ask whether you think that Metal would be a valuable addition to the Boost distribution. My intention is to request a formal review in the next days / weeks, depending on your preliminary feedback. In a glimpse, Metal is a pure template metaprogramming that explores all modern features available to C++14 to overcome the limitations of Boost.MPL, most notably: * vastly improved performance [1]; * terser syntax [2]. Repository: https://github.com/brunocodutra/metal Documentation: http://brunocodutra.github.io/metal/ Boost Incubator: http://blincubator.com/bi_library/metal-2/?gform_post_id=1566 I appreciate your feedback and opinion on whether Metal is a good fit for Boost! - Previous discussions About a year ago I came to this list to discuss a proposal of merging Metal into MPL as a new API built from ground up, while at the same time serving as a backend for the previous API on modern compilers. At that time, Metal was lazy and very similar to MPL, but since then it underwent great simplification and embraced the all-eager design, so I don't think this would be a good idea anymore. Besides, it soon became clear that this would be a huge undertaking with potential to inadvertently breaking a lot of good code to little gain, so I decided instead to tackle the problem migration from MPL by providing a handy adaptor [3].

[outcome] Tutorial third rewrite finished (I hope)
by Niall Douglas 05 Mar '17

05 Mar '17

I know the Safe Numerics review is currently happening and almost straight thereafter comes the final Stacktrace review so people are probably a bit tired of reviewing stuff, however I believe the third rewrite of the Outcome tutorial is now finished at long last. Expected<T, E> in Context: https://ned14.github.io/boost.outcome/md_doc_md_02-tutorial_a.html Expected<T, E> in Practice: https://ned14.github.io/boost.outcome/md_doc_md_03-tutorial_b.html Refining Expected<T, E>: https://ned14.github.io/boost.outcome/md_doc_md_04-tutorial_c.html Feedback is once again very welcome, indeed this tutorial looks so very different from the previous two editions because of your feedback, so thank you. In case anyone is interested, the biggest showstopper remaining before this goes into the Boost review queue is the reference docs: doxygen chokes badly on the preprocessor metaprogramming Outcome uses and generate rubbish docs. I didn't find much success with Standardese or Doxypress either, so I'm currently working with my shiny new Python C99 conforming preprocessor (https://github.com/ned14/pcpp) to partially preprocess Outcome into a form doxygen can cope with. I expect a few weeks remain on that, it may pass most of the C11 preprocessor torture test suite but the partial preprocessor pass through implementation has bugs I'm still nailing down :) Niall -- ned Productions Limited Consulting http://www.nedproductions.biz/ http://ie.linkedin.com/in/nialldouglas/

Saying that we shouldn't use map_from_list because it consumes memory for the instantiation is misleading; the alternatives consume memory for instantiations as well. Except for __type_pack_element, of course. Right, the trick is usually to figure out what consumes less memory, i.e. what leads to the least amount of distinct template instantiations. Alias templates help a lot with that, since they are not actually instantiated, but there is only so much one can do with alias templates alone. Bruno

cross-compilation: building boost on linux targetting osx
by Frédéric Bron 04 Mar '17

04 Mar '17

Hi, I am trying to cross-build boost on linux targetting osx. I am using a cross compiler based on the linux clang 3.8.1 (osxcross). You can find below the process I use to build boost. My problem is that apparently b2 cannot find iconv, zlib and bzip2. Also apprently it says that clang does not support C++11 features (which is not true): - Boost.Config Feature Check: cxx11_auto_declarations : no - Boost.Config Feature Check: cxx11_constexpr : no - Boost.Config Feature Check: cxx11_defaulted_functions : no - Boost.Config Feature Check: cxx11_final : no - Boost.Config Feature Check: cxx11_hdr_mutex : no - Boost.Config Feature Check: cxx11_hdr_tuple : no - Boost.Config Feature Check: cxx11_lambdas : no - Boost.Config Feature Check: cxx11_noexcept : no - Boost.Config Feature Check: cxx11_nullptr : no - Boost.Config Feature Check: cxx11_rvalue_references : no - Boost.Config Feature Check: cxx11_template_aliases : no - Boost.Config Feature Check: cxx11_thread_local : no - Boost.Config Feature Check: cxx11_variadic_templates : no - zlib : no - bzip2 : no - iconv (libc) : no - iconv (separate) : no - Boost.Locale needs either iconv or ICU library to be built. I identified potential issues: 1. I give toolset clang to bootstrap.sh which sets the toolset to clang in project-config.jam but clang-linux is used: common.mkdir bin.v2/libs/system/build/clang-linux-3.8.1/release Should it be clang-darwin instead? However, if I set it myself to clang-darwin with bootstrap.sh, it says that clang-darwin toolset does not exist. By the way, there is nothing about clang in getting started: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_63_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html 2. when looking for the iconv library (same issue with zlib and bzip2), there are unknown linker options (--start-group or -R) and the iconv library path I gave to b2 is not given to the compiler/linker. Here is part of the output in config.log: clang-linux.compile.c++.without-pth bin.v2/libs/locale/build/clang-linux-3.8.1/debug/target-os-darwin/has_iconv_libc_obj.o "x86_64-apple-darwin13-clang++-libc++" -c -x c++ -std=c++14 -O2 -DNDEBUG -O0 -g -fno-inline -Wall -g -fPIC -m64 -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1 -DBOOST_LOG_WITHOUT_EVENT_LOG -DBOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB -I"." -o "bin.v2/libs/locale/build/clang-linux-3.8.1/debug/target-os-darwin/has_iconv_libc_obj.o" "libs/locale/src/../build/has_iconv.cpp" "x86_64-apple-darwin13-clang++-libc++" -o "bin.v2/libs/locale/build/clang-linux-3.8.1/debug/target-os-darwin/has_iconv" -Wl,--start-group "bin.v2/libs/locale/build/clang-linux-3.8.1/debug/target-os-darwin/has_iconv_libc_obj.o" -Wl,-Bstatic -Wl,-Bdynamic -Wl,--end-group -g -m64~ ld: unknown option: --start-group clang-linux.compile.c++.without-pth bin.v2/libs/locale/build/clang-linux-3.8.1/debug/target-os-darwin/has_iconv_libc_ext.o "x86_64-apple-darwin13-clang++-libc++" -c -x c++ -std=c++14 -O2 -DNDEBUG -O0 -g -fno-inline -Wall -g -fPIC -m64 -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1 -DBOOST_LOG_WITHOUT_EVENT_LOG -DBOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB -I"." -I"/softs/osx64-clang-3.8.1/release/iconv/include" -o "bin.v2/libs/locale/build/clang-linux-3.8.1/debug/target-os-darwin/has_iconv_libc_ext.o" "libs/locale/src/../build/has_iconv.cpp" "x86_64-apple-darwin13-clang++-libc++" -L"/softs/osx64-clang-3.8.1/release/iconv/lib" -Wl,-R -Wl,"/softs/osx64-clang-3.8.1/release/iconv/lib" -Wl,-rpath-link -Wl,"/softs/osx64-clang-3.8.1/release/iconv/lib" -o "bin.v2/libs/locale/build/clang-linux-3.8.1/debug/target-os-darwin/has_external_iconv" -Wl,--start-group "bin.v2/libs/locale/build/clang-linux-3.8.1/debug/target-os-darwin/has_iconv_libc_ext.o" -Wl,-Bstatic -Wl,-Bdynamic -liconv -Wl,--end-group -g -m64~ ld: unknown option: -R Any idea?

So I'm sending some important stuff from GMail account that almost certainly was missed: What is Boost.Nowide: -------------------------------- Boost.Nowide is a library that make cross platform Unicode aware programming easier. The library provides an implementation of standard C and C++ library functions, such that their inputs are UTF-8 aware on Windows without requiring to use Wide API. It was inspiration and inspired by http://utf8everywhere.org/ development ideas and policy. Some updates regarding Boost.Nowide ------------------------------- 1. Library moved to github and its format is converted to modular boost layout: https://github.com/artyom-beilis/nowide 2. Fixed unsupported std::ios::ate flag by boost::nowide::fstream 3. Added some C++11 interfaces to boost::nowide::fstream 4. Added integration functionality with boost::filesystem: https://github.com/artyom-beilis/nowide/blob/master/include/boost/nowide/in… Note: that the links to the source code on review schedule aren't relevant, it should be: - Code: https://github.com/artyom-beilis/nowide - Documentation: http://cppcms.com/files/nowide/html/ Also the library is still looking for review manager. Artyom Beilis P.S.: I'm sorry if you are getting this as "duplicate"

[Boost-users] Unbounded integers and shared memory
by Antony Polukhin 04 Mar '17

04 Mar '17

Hello, One of the ISO WG21 C++ Study Groups is investigating the usecases of shared memory usage with wide arithmetics (Boost.Interprocess, Boost.Multiprecision, in-house solutions?). Particularly interesting: * Are there users that store unbounded numbers in shared memory? * Will bounded integers satisfy need of those users? Informal glossary: * "unbounded numbers" - numbers (integral, relational, floating point and others) that can store and operate on any huge value by dynamically allocating memory as necessary to maintain a representation of operation results. * "bounded types" - Numbers (integral, relational, floating point and others) which bounds are specified in number of bytes/bits/words at compile time and that do not allocate memory. Please, response if you are one of such users. Great thanks in advance! -- Best regards, Antony Polukhin

[gsoc17]Getting started with Project 2 in Boost.Geometry : R-tree serialization and Project 1:static map
by Ruoyun Jing 03 Mar '17

03 Mar '17

Hi Everyone: My name is Ruoyun Jing, I am an undergraduate student in Northwest University(China) of Software Engineering.Although i am a girl,i really love coding and algorithms!!! I've coded many algorithms problems with C++ and Python,and got Bronze Metal in ACMICPC Asia Shenyang Regional contest. GSoC is really a precious chance for me to get in touch with open source software. After reading all the organizatuions and their projects, I'm pretty interested in R-tree serialization and static map. Despite my lack of project experience,i will try my best to learn ,code and communicate with mentor!!! Looking forward from you.:) Thank -- Northwest University of China Software Engineering jingry0321(a)gmail.com <jingry0321(a)163.com>

[MPL][vector] Is there interest in mpl::vector using variadic templates?
by Михаил Максимов 03 Mar '17

03 Mar '17

Dear community, I've recently started contributing to boost::variant. To speed up variant's compilation I'm implementing mpl::vector on variadic templates. For now status of new vector implementation is: 1) it passes all mpl/test tests on gcc 4.9 and 6.3 2) it is decoupled from mpl::vectorN, simultaneously making mpl::vectorN visible, so libs like Boost.Geometry, which rely on mpl::vectorN compile nicely 3) There are several compilation errors during full build on gcc 4.9 and 6.3 4) I fix problems on mpl/tests stage for clang 3.4 and latest MSVS2017 compiler Bruno's introduction of new shiny Metal library and Sergey's comment in the same thread: > The biggest and most useful feature of "new" TMP libraries is variadic > templates that increase performance by a really huge factor. The problem > with MPL is that vector type sequence must derive from vectorN-s, which are > documented and can be used in template specialization. So it is impossible > or pointless to remplement mpl::vector in terms of variadic parameters > because of that. The other problem that I can quickly recall is recursive > iterator-based approach, which also kills performance. made me wonder, is there interest in variadic templates implementation? Are there limitations for it's usefulness, which I did not see? Regards, Mike Maximov

Review Request: poly_collection
by Joaquin M López Muñoz 03 Mar '17

03 Mar '17

Hello, I'd like to ask for formal review of (candidate) Boost.PolyCollection, a library providing fast containers of polymorphic objects: https://github.com/joaquintides/poly_collection http://blincubator.com/bi_library/polycollection/?gform_post_id=1643 http://rawgit.com/joaquintides/poly_collection/website/doc/html/index.html Typically, polymorphic objects cannot be stored directly in regular containers and need be accessed through an indirection pointer, which introduces performance problems related to CPU caching and branch prediction. Boost.PolyCollection implements a novel data structure that is able to contiguously store polymorphic objects without such indirection, thus providing a value-semantics user interface and better performance. Three polymorphic collections are provided: * boost::base_collection * boost::function_collection * boost::any_collection dealing respectively with classic base/derived or OOP polymorphism, function wrapping in the spirit of std::function and so-called duck typing as implemented by Boost.TypeErasure. The library compiles and runs succesfully in Visual Studio 2015, GCC 5.2.1 and Clang 3.7. Ion Gaztañaga has kindly volunteered to act as the review manager for (candidate) Boost.PolyCollection. Best regards, Joaquín M López Muñoz
