[1.65.0] Point release?
by Daniel James 27 Aug '17

27 Aug '17

Hello all, What do you think about having a point release? I tried asking the other release managers but didn't get any reply. Some are away, and I don't known when they will be available again. I think we have to decide soon, as it's holding up development. This would deal with the issues in thread, context, fiber, and possibly others. I've added patches to the release notes: http://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_65_0.html A point release should take a week or two, perhaps more if we include other changes. thanks, Daniel

[Boost-build] Broken installation with `./b2 --prefix=/tmp/boost --with-stacktrace install`
by Antony Polukhin 26 Aug '17

26 Aug '17

Hi, People complain about the broken installation. Command `./b2 --prefix=/tmp/boost --with-stacktrace install` does not copy the boost/stacktrace/detail/push_options.pp and boost/stacktrace/detail/pop_options.pp files into the destination folder. See https://github.com/boostorg/stacktrace/issues/29 How this could be fixed? Is that a b2 issue? -- Best regards, Antony Polukhin

boost.process 1.64.0 and 1.65.0 are equal
by Egor Pugin 26 Aug '17

26 Aug '17

Hi, See https://github.com/boostorg/process/releases Both boost/process 1.64.0 and 1.65.0 have same commit 4075371. Looks like that boost process 1.65.0 was not updated. Is this a bug or feature? For reference, this was detected in https://github.com/klemens-morgenstern/boost-process/issues/121 -- Egor Pugin

Bug in Boost-1.65 Windows binaries.
by Stefan Seefeld 25 Aug '17

25 Aug '17

Hello, I just received a bug report (https://github.com/boostorg/python/issues/129) related to the Boost 1.65 Windows binaries. Not being able to reproduce the error when building from source myself (on Windows), I wonder where to file issues that are specific to the Windows binaries. Does that have a dedicated maintainer ? (The bug is that the Boost.Python libraries built for Python3 actually link to Python27.) Thanks, Stefan -- ...ich hab' noch einen Koffer in Berlin...

[trac][poly_collection][stacktrace] request for Trac components
by Joaquin M López Muñoz 25 Aug '17

Hi, Can a "poly_collection" component (assigned to me) be added to the Trac ticketing system? I guess Vinnie'll need a "stacktrace" component, too. Thank you, Joaquín M López Muñoz

Hello, is a fix-release for 1.65 possible? It seams that the fixes that were too late to get merged into 1.65 are need to prevent segfaults in 1.65. Oliver

[Root.Ptr] C Crash Proof - Completed
by Phil Bouchard 25 Aug '17

25 Aug '17

Greetings, Most of you know the former programming language I was working on: https://github.com/philippeb8/root_ptr/tree/bb++/bbpp2cpp I decided to turn this into a C parser which converts C code into C++ and adds the memory manager I wrote plus other utilities to detect the exact location the memory leaks (missing call to free()). It works with traditional missing sequential calls to free() and even references that are cyclic as you can see in the attached example (input2.c). Please note that the attached C code uses basic C++ functionality such as constructors and destructors to help having a descriptive output (input2.txt). So if you have such a memory leak problem in C then please let me know and I'll be happy to offer consulting services, remotely preferably, to the employer you're working for. The problem should be solved fairly quickly. On my side I will perhaps improve the parser if necessary and automate the whole process soon. All the best! -Phil Note: For the moment the size of arrays allocated with malloc() needs to be a compile-time constant and the returned line number is not precise.
