Potential contribution scenarios?
by Miguel Coimbra 04 Jan '16

04 Jan '16

Dear Community, This is my first post, apologies if I am breaking any rule with this. I've wanted to learn and improve my C++ skills for some time now. Learning more about Boost's usage and contributing to it has been on my mind. As a Ph.D student (Instituto Superior Técnico, Portugal), I became aware of Boost's participation in Google's Summer of Code and read up on some of Boost's past projects. Two ideas of GSoC2015 in particular caught my attention: - Concurrent Hash Tables - Mentor: Niall Douglas - Boost Document Library development - Mentor: Antony Polukhin I have been looking for direct contacts to learn about some of these ideas (Niall Douglas and Antony Polukhin, respectively) from 2015's Google Summer of Code to find out more, but was unsuccessful so far. While the first idea was not put into practice, the second one was undertaken (by Anurag Ghosh if I am not mistaken). Would anyone be able to point me in a direction to learn more about the state of work on these two ideas (specially the Document Library) and (if possible) if they are available for me to pick up and look into ways of contributing? Perhaps querying the mentors of those ideas for feedback? Thank you very much for your time, Kind regards, Miguel E. Coimbra

Status of the CMake-ification
by Louis Dionne 02 Jan '16

02 Jan '16

Dear Boost, I'd like to inquire about the status of the CMake-ification of Boost that had been started a while ago. AFAICT, the effort is completely stopped now; is this correct? Also, I'd like to poll the community to gauge interest in the rebirth of such an effort. __I'm not proposing myself to work on such a rebirth__, but I'm just curious to know what the community thinks about it. I, for one, would love to see it happen. Regards, Louis -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/Status-of-the-CMake-ification-tp4681599.… Sent from the Boost - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hi, Some of the Boost.DLL tests produce following warnings: ../boost/thread/win32/thread_primitives.hpp:175:83: warning: declaration of 'void* boost::detail::win32::GetModuleHandleA(const char*)' with C language linkage ../boost/detail/winapi/dll.hpp:47:1: warning: conflicts with previous declaration 'HINSTANCE__* GetModuleHandleA(boost::detail::winapi::LPCSTR_)' ../boost/thread/win32/thread_primitives.hpp:195:94: warning: declaration of 'int (__attribute__((__stdcall__)) * boost::detail::win32::GetProcAddress(void*, const char*))()' with C language linkage ../boost/detail/winapi/dll.hpp:82:1: warning: conflicts with previous declaration 'int (__attribute__((__stdcall__)) * GetProcAddress(boost::detail::winapi::HMODULE_, boost::detail::winapi::LPCSTR_))()' Andrey, Vicente what's the best way to resolve such issues? -- Best regards, Antony Polukhin

[qvm] deduce_xx traits wouldn't introduce ODR issues.
by Vicente J. Botet Escriba 31 Dec '15

31 Dec '15

Hi, I wonder if the deduce_xx traits wouldn't introduce ODR issues. Remember the TBoost.Conversion library where conversion between two types was customizable. The fact that deduce_xx traits have two types would promote ODR as there is no one type that is expected to do the customization. I believe that changing the default to something depending on the first argument will be better than using the specific qvm type as result. If this is not enough, you could add symbolic operations taken the result type as parameter, e.g. if a+b is not something specified by A, the user could use sum<C>(a,b) Forget my comment if there is no ODR issue. Best, Vicente

by Adam Wulkiewicz 23 Dec '15

23 Dec '15

Dear Boost Community! Today is the last day of the extended period of QVM library formal review. Since now we received 4 reviews. I encourage you to send more, there is still some time left. I'd like to thank all of you who have sent reviews as well as those who have taken part in the discussions. I'm going to wait for additional reviews a few days in case someone wanted to send one after the end of the review period. Does any of you plan to do it? Regards, Adam

[autoindex] Default building with an Index
by Edward Diener 22 Dec '15

22 Dec '15

The documentation for VMD supports building with an index but I had not made this the default situation. This is my mistake. Can I assume the official build of the docs for a release supports building with an index via autoindex ? If so I will change the jamfile to support this as the default for the future and assume any end-user wishing to regenerate the docs has autoindex support also as part of the distribution as long as my jamfile is setup correctly for autoindex.
