I am unable to send data from client to server.. server can sent but vise versa is not implemented by me.. i am trying.. if any body can point me a direction.. it will be much helpful Thank you Regards V Sent from Samsung Mobile

CMake and Boost Build tests
by Edward Diener 31 Jul '17

31 Jul '17

Following John Maddock's appeal for practical solutions related to the move to CMake, I would like to know what the CMake equivalent is to the Boost Build unit test functionality. In other words what do I write for CMake in order to do a Boost Build compile, compile-fail, link, link-fail, run, and run-fail unit tests ? Does CMake have an equivalent to the Boost Build alias rule ? or the Boost Build project rule ? The great majority of the Boost libraries are header-only libraries where Boost Build is used to run the unit tests and, optionally, Boost Build is used to build the documentation using a quickbook, boostbook, doxygen toolset to generate html and pdf files. While I realize that building a Boost library, and making that built library available to end-users via CMake, has been the focus of most of the discussion so far regarding CMake and Boost, I am assuming the move to CMake also means that running unit tests and building docs where applicable must also be done through CMake. If I am wrong about this then I personally will be only too happy to continue using Boost Build to do these things.

[GitHub] Can boostorg/do-not-use be safely deleted?
by Louis Dionne 31 Jul '17

We have this repository: https://github.com/boostorg/do-not-use. The description says Permissions experiments; will disappear without notice. I'd like to confirm that this can safely be removed before I go do it.

I haven't run one of these in a while, so here it is. http://pdimov.com/tmp/report-develop-6db78a0a6/module-overview.html http://pdimov.com/tmp/report-develop-6db78a0a6/module-levels.html http://pdimov.com/tmp/report-develop-6db78a0a6/module-weights.html We have one "supermodule" at level 5 and another at level 13.

Boost tests with cmake
by paul 30 Jul '17

30 Jul '17

Hi, So, I have made a small demo setting up the tests with cmake, here: https://github.com/pfultz2/boost-cmake-demo/tree/bcm-test-demo This builds and tests the libraries for Boost.System, so it includes: * assert * config * core * predef * static_assert * system * winapi There are no tests for winapi right now, because I don't have a windows machine to test on(but I suppose I could've tested with mingw). This uses the BCM modules to provide common functionality for building and tests. All the tests are setup to run through CTest, and some targets are provided for building the tests. A `tests` target will build(but not run) all the tests. The `check` target will build and run all tests. Since we do want to filter tests by library, all tests are added with the label of the project name(which can be filtered with `ctest -L <label>`). Furthermore there are targets `tests-<project-name>` and `check-<project- name>` that will build and test a single project respectively. So if we are only interested in the tests for `boost_assert` we can run: cmake --build . --target check-boost_assert And this will build and test `boost_assert`. Any feedback will be useful as we move forward on adding the rest of the tests to cmake. Paul

How to resolve connection via route in proxy server?
by jupiter 30 Jul '17

30 Jul '17

Hi, I can use boost to query and to resolve TCP connection from a remote server which has a public IP address: boost::asio::ip::tcp::resolver::query query(host, port); resolver.async_resolve(query, boost::bind(&ConnectionClient::handleResolve, this, boost::asio::placeholders::error, boost::asio::placeholders::iterator)); But how can I connect to the remote server which does not have a public IP address, I have to connect it via route from a proxy server public IP address? Thank you. Kind regards.

They are compile checks, not run checks. If the compile succeeds (of one of the "predef_check_cc_as_*.*") it needs to add the "-DCHECK_VALUE=true" to the compile and run of "check_value.cpp". But the test data in this case would also need to change if you are going to use a try-compile target. As the b2 code parses out those strings and reformulates them as a -DCHECK=.. compile option. -- -- Rene Rivera -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Robot Dreams - http://robot-dreams.net -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail
