[clang] clang-cl expansion of macros
by Edward Diener 29 Apr '17

29 Apr '17

You can get clang-cl ( clang-win ) to show its VC++ emulated expansion of macros somewhat by passing the c++ option '-fmacro-backtrace-limit=0' to the compiler. It is still blessedly difficult to see the what and the why of clang's error messages when expanding macro using clang-cl, but at least it gives you a better chance of understanding where clang's emulation of VC++ has gone wrong. I have posted bug 27380 to the llvm/clang bug tracker at https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=27380 showing the main failure in VC++ emulation which I see when testing Boost PP with clang-cl.

[quickbook] diagnosing a missing [endsect]?
by Peter Dimov 28 Apr '17

28 Apr '17

I just noticed a missing [endsect] in the middle of one of the .qbk files in the Core documentation. The main .qbk file contains [include addressof.qbk] [include checked_delete.qbk] [include demangle.qbk] [include enable_if.qbk] [include explicit_operator_bool.qbk] [include ignore_unused.qbk] [include is_same.qbk] [include lightweight_test.qbk] [include no_exceptions_support.qbk] [include noncopyable.qbk] [include null_deleter.qbk] [include ref.qbk] [include scoped_enum.qbk] [include swap.qbk] [include typeinfo.qbk] and in the middle of lightweight_test.qbk an [endsect] was missing. The end result of it was that the following includes went into the [section] opened in lightweight_test.qbk, as subsections. This wasn't noticeable from a cursory look so it went unnoticed for a while. Is it worth diagnosing this problem in some way? We probably can't disallow unbalanced sections in an [include], but this could be a warning? (If someone pays it any attention, of course.) Presumably, at the end of the file there'll be a [section] left open? This could be made an error so it'd be harder to miss.

[core] [noncopyable] Add nonmoveable?
by Viktor Sehr 27 Apr '17

27 Apr '17

In addition to noncopyable, I sometimes want to force classes to be nonmoveable as well (mainly node-type classes in tree structures which other classes point to). Therefore I'd suggest adding a cousin to noncopyable; boost::nonmoveable which simply prevents an instance to be nonmoveable (as well as noncopyable). Note; even due the delete modifier were added in C++11 I still think inheriting boost:noncopyable\nonmoveable syntactically nicer than manually marking the copy\move constructors\assignment operators delete. /Viktor Sehr

[1.64][python] not building for Visual x64
by Raffi Enficiaud 27 Apr '17

27 Apr '17

Hi, I have some trouble building boost.python for the freshly released boost 1.64: there is no boost.python binary generated, and "bin.v2/libs" does not contain any folder named "python". Maybe related: the machine has python2.7 and 3.4 installed. The command for building: b2 toolset=msvc-14.0 --layout=versioned --build-type=complete --without-log -j 4 address-model=64 threading=multi runtime-link=shared The same command was used for 1.63 with no issue. What am I missing? Let me know if this is a chair-to-keyboard problem. Best, Raffi PS: logs of the second run attached (the number of messages for the first run is flooding the console).

[release] Epic fail: Numeric cast in 1.64 does not match trunk
by Antony Polukhin 26 Apr '17

26 Apr '17

Hello, File https://github.com/boostorg/numeric_conversion/blob/master/include/boost/nu… does not match the one in release 1.64 That file was fixed and merged to master a long time ago, however boost_1_64_0.7z archive still has on outdated version (one with std::unary_function). This looks like an issue within some release scripts. Issue was noted here: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/12972 -- Best regards, Antony Polukhin

[release] 1.65.0 open for merging
by Rene Rivera 24 Apr '17

24 Apr '17

The master branch is open for merging all stable changes from develop, including bug fixes and major upgrades to existing libraries. Breaking changes should be coordinated via the mailing list with the developers of the other libraries affected. New libraries may be added, but require permission of a release manager. In other words, merging does not require permission from a release manager, except for new libraries.

[context] - Boost.Context fails to build -> Call of overloaded 'callcc(...) is ambiguous'

Supporting boost 1.64 for Visual Studio 2017
by Evgen8 23 Apr '17

23 Apr '17

The "NuGet" system indicates that BC 2017 is supported. *boost_locale-vc141. Compiler: Visual Studio 2017. Platforms: Win32, x64.* But attempts to use this package end with nothing. Regardless of how I install the "boost_locale" - do I get the same result manually or using "NuGet"? Attempts to install it on another machine ran out the same.
