[rational, spirit] 1.68.0 beta 2 bug report
by James E. King III 12 Jul '18

12 Jul '18

A bug reported by someone using a version of 1.68.0 (not specified): https://github.com/qtumproject/cpp-eth-qtum/issues/31#issuecomment-404257256 Seems to have something to do with the new pow template that was added to rational. This came from an old pull request that was simplified, however it seems pow is now a template defined in the namespace boost, and seems to have caused some issues. I'd guess this is only an issue inside boost namespace (so all boost headers) and not external … [View More]

boost/context/all.hpp missing in 1.68.0beta1
by Roger Leigh 11 Jul '18

11 Jul '18

Is this intentional, or an unintentional regression? I was using this header in the CMake component checks to verify the presence of Boost.Context, and this is now breaking. I can update it to use a different header which has been present since 1.61, but this seems like a compatibility break, hence the question. Thanks, Roger

[geometry][units]
by Pranam Lashkari 11 Jul '18

11 Jul '18

I am trying to use boost.geometry with the integration of boost.units. What I want to do is store a coordinate point (e.g: Cartesian or spherical) which should be unit safe.(e.g a cartesian point with length unit meter should give error with cross product is done with cartesian point with length unit millimeter). For this I am using boost::geometry::model::point. Problems I am facing: 1. If I use something like boost::geometry::model::point<UnitClass, 3 ,boost::geometry::cs::… [View More]

Boost.Graph depth_first_visit algorithm
by Brook Milligan 09 Jul '18

09 Jul '18

The documentation on the Boost.Graph depth_first_visit algorithm indicates that the first argument is a non-const reference to an Incidence Graph. See https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_67_0/libs/graph/doc/depth_first_visit.html. However, in contrast the code in boost/graph/depth_first_search.hpp only implements the function for a _const_ reference to an Incidence Graph. I can see that changing the graph structure mid-traversal is a problem, but I have use cases in which graph properties (not … [View More]

Clang 600 and BOOST_SYSTEM_CONSTEXPR causes error_code.hpp compile failure.
by Paul A. Bristow 09 Jul '18

09 Jul '18

Having failed to build Boost libraries using Clang 6.0.0 using b2/bjam on Windows, I am now trying instead to use Codeblocks on Windows 10 to build static libraries. It comes to grief with these messages (the berbose gory details can be posted if anyone can help). In file included from I:\modular-boost\boost/system/system_error.hpp:14: I:\modular-boost\boost/system/error_code.hpp:409:88: error: variable does not have a constant initializer template<class T> … [View More]

toolset=clang-win uses clang-linux-win?
by Peter Dimov 09 Jul '18

09 Jul '18

When I try `b2 toolset=clang-win` on Appveyor, I get `clang-linux-win` instead, that is, `-win` is interpreted as version for some reason, not as platform: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/pdimov/system/build/job/sjpdq5yrir2ewuhh Is this normal, or is it a bug in the clang toolset? Is there a magic command line incantation that would let me select clang-win?

[Boost Build] clang-win, <compatibility> property?
by degski 08 Jul '18

08 Jul '18

error: Please set <compatibility> property for visual studio version! How and to what value (VS2017 - 15.7.4, Compiler Version 19.14.26431 ) do I set the <compatibility> property using a project-config.jam file? The documentation <https://boostorg.github.io/build/manual/develop/index.html#bbv2.reference.t…> does not list clang at all, which probably means it works like gcc, there is obviously no <compatibility> property there. Help would be appreciated, then I can … [View More]

python::numpy not built on windows binary installers
by Nicholas Devenish 07 Jul '18

07 Jul '18

Hi All, I just downloaded the windows boost binaries from https://dl.bintray.com/boostorg/release/1.67.0/binaries/, linked from the boost downloads page. They are missing the boost_numpy library. This (silently) doesn't build if the python installation that boost finds is missing numpy. This is listed as "Third Party" so apologies if this is the wrong place to report it - but it's not clear from the page who makes them. I also couldn't find any mention of this, so don't know if it's a deliberate exclusion. Nick
