A word from our friends doing C++ at Hackillinois Outreach... ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Advai Podduturi <advai.podduturi(a)hackillinois.org> Date: Wed, Feb 19, 2020 at 7:56 AM Subject: Open Source Hackathon Mentor Invitation To: <david.bellot(a)gmail.com> Hello, My name is Advai Podduturi and I’m reaching out on behalf of the HackIllinois Outreach team. HackIllinois is a 36-hour collegiate Open Source hackathon that takes place annually at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. This year, it will be from February 28th - March 1st, 2020. Our mission is to introduce college students to Open Source, while giving back to the community. We strive to create a collaborative environment in which our attendees can learn from and work with developers to make their own contributions. In past years, we’ve had developers from prominent projects such as npm, Rust, and Apache come to mentor students from our pool of 900+ attendees. We’d love it if you could pass along this message to the Boost C++ community or any individuals you believe would be interested. We will provide meals throughout the event and can reimburse for travel and lodging up to a certain amount depending on where in the US people are coming from. More information on mentorship can be found at hackillinois.org/mentor <http://ec2-52-26-194-35.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/x/d?c=6287904&l=b31…>. You can also visit opensource.hackillinois.org <http://ec2-52-26-194-35.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/x/d?c=6287904&l=360…> to see what kinds of projects were represented at our event last year. Sincerely, Advai Podduturi -- Advai Podduturi HackIllinois 2020 | Outreach Team advai.podduturi(a)hackillinois.org | 630-765-4099

Our logo on the GSoC page[1] looks a little pixelated and small fonts are not readable can we replace it? I have attached a boost logo file in the mail and a transparent logo can also be found here[2] [1]: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/organizations/6011808097239040/ [2]: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boost_(C%2B%2B-Bibliothek)#/media/File:Boost.… Thank you, Pranam Lashkari

Hello everyone. My name is Ahmed ElShreif and I'm a newcomer to the Boost community. I am willing to apply this year in GSoC with boost. I was accepted in LibreOffice in GSoC'19. I read the Projects and it's really interesting for me. But I have some questions: why this projects exist also in 2019 potential projects? Can I get help in finding some easy issues to solve now to get familiar with the library more and become ready more for the project? Thanks Ahmed ElShreif -- Sent from: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/Boost-Dev-f2600599.html

If one specifies a cxxstd-dialect, one must also specify the cxxstd
by pbristow＠hetp.u-net.com 12 Feb '20

12 Feb '20

https://boostorg.github.io/build/manual/develop/index.html#bbv2.overview.bu… s.features says 5.3. Builtin features cxxstd Allowed values: 98, 03, 0x, 11, 1y, 14, 1z, 17, 2a, latest. cxxstd-dialect Allowed values: iso, gnu, ms. So these work as expected toolset=gcc cxxstd=2a cxxstd-dialect=gnu is OK toolset=gcc-9.2.0 cxxstd=2a cxxstd-dialect=gnu is OK too But if I do NOT specify the cxxstd version - just toolset=gcc cxxstd-dialect=gnu for example: boost\libs\multiprecision\example>b2 float128_snips toolset=gcc-8.1.0 cxxstd-dialect=gnu address-model=64 release > .mp_float128_snips_gcc810_14_gnu.log Iboost/tools/build/src/build\feature.jam:1020: in feature.compress-subproperties from module feature error: assertion failure: [ set.equal "<cxxstd-dialect>gnu" "<toolset-gcc:version>8.1.0" : "<toolset-gcc:version>8.1.0" ] error: Expected: [ "true" ] error: Got: [ ] which had be puzzled for a while. Probably the even more common case of only having one compiler, say gcc, installed, and so not specifying toolset at all, confusingly behaves the same way? This is a perfectly reasonable behaviour, but this requirement might helpfully be documented. Or this more subtle than I understand? Thanks Paul
