Re: [boost] Boost 1.57 hot-out-of-Git fails to compile for Windows Phone
by Moshe Rubin 09 Dec '14

09 Dec '14

A belated "thank you" to Juergen Hunold and Oliver Kowalke for their help in solving the problem. Indeed, when "address-model=32" was added to the command line it solved the problem and enabled me to build all the Windows Phone ARM libraries in one fell swoop. Thanks very much, Moshe

boost::filesystem changes since version 1.55.0
by Armin Pies 09 Dec '14

09 Dec '14

I have tried to upgrade our software from using boost 1.55.0 to 1.57.0. Now we're getting unexpected exceptions in our code using filesystem::recursive_directory_iterator. Checking http://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_56_0.html or http://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_57_0.html there are no changes concerning boost::filesystem. Is there somebody who can tell me what has been changed in boost::filesystem, versions 1.56 and 1.57, and what impact it has on existing code or what I have to adapt to fix our software? Regards, Armin Pies

Obviously the operator++ of the recursive_directory_iterator throws exceptions now, which it did not before 1.56. I have changed our code using the increment(system::error_code& ec) method to ignore the unexpected exceptions. Regards, Armin

Is Boost.Asio ported for Windows Runtime?
by Moshe Rubin 09 Dec '14

09 Dec '14

Boost.Asio is a headers-only library which makes use of Boost's 'system' library. Since the 'system' library has been ported to Windows Runtime (aka WinRT) by Steven Gates of Microsoft, I assumed that Boost.Asio should therefore work as-is for WinRT. When I wrote to Steven asking him to verify that Boost.Asio will work today for WinRT he answered: <quote> "I don't know if Boost.Asio works with the Windows Runtime. I would guess it doesn't entirely, but since it is a header file only library it might work depending on the features used. My recommendation would be to run the Windows App Cert Kit and if you didn't pull in any banned APIs then you might be good. When I look in the history of the Boost.Asio Github repository I can see the maintainer at least started some work for the Windows Runtime. I recommend you reach out to him or post of the Boost mailing forums to see." </quote> Can the Boost.Asio maintainer, or anyone else, verify if Boost.Asio can be built as-is for WinRT, or does it need to be ported? Thanks in advance, Moshe Rubin

Do we need BoostBook?
by Vladimir Prus 09 Dec '14

09 Dec '14

Hi, I've noticed that Boost.Build documentation, created with BoostBook, explicitly sets a small, and IMO unreadable, font, so I went to fix that, and some other things, as shown at: http://goo.gl/VWYh2P However, after a few easy tweaks, I'm stuck at the fact that BoostBook/DocBook produces fairly old-fashioned HTML. For example, the Boost logo at top is actually a table, and the "tip" block is also a table, which makes tweaking the layout with CSS quite a bit more complex. Also, some of the conceptually trivial things, like putting some front matter in index.html, appear to require XSLT customization. As heretic as it sounds, do we get any benefits from BoostBook? It's a complex vocabulary, with complex toolchain, and while PDF generation sounded nice 10 years ago, printing HTML into PDF is a viable option these days - and nobody would want to print entire Boost documentation anyway? Thoughts? -- Vladimir Prus CodeSourcery / Mentor Embedded http://vladimirprus.com

[RFC][Patch][Boost.context] Allowing alternative context switch API
by microcai 09 Dec '14

09 Dec '14

Hi Oliver Kowalke, and others last weak, I report a bug that boost.context causes LoadLibrary to fail. And Oliver Kowalke response that might be because boost.context didn't swap all TIB parts. Allowing alternative context switch API other than reverse-engineered boost.context might solve the problem. So I speed some time to write the patch. users that wish to use Win32 API shoul define BOOST_COROUTINE_USE_FIBER then users should be responsibe to make sure all threads that might call coroutine must be converted to fiber first. since IsThreadAFIber() is not available on some windows platform. if the user can make 100% sure that the platform he/she wish to support has IsThreadAFIber(), then define BOOST_COROUTINE_USE_IS_THREAD_A_FIBER and boost.coroutine will take care of converting to fiber and converting back to thread. Best regards. --- >From 11668b6641c877a4ea154d51ad2171483eced921 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: microcai <microcaicai(a)gmail.com> Date: Sat, 6 Dec 2014 15:50:46 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] allow Win32 Fiber as alternative context switch API windows has some undocumented TIB parts, as boost.context can't keep 100% compatibility with all windows versions, and coroutine is essential to many building blocks.

What is the e-mail of the Boost webmaster, as in "If you want to do some XXX on the Boost website, contact the Boost webmaster" ? The term "Boost webmaster" is used on the development portion of the website with no clue who that might be.

[graph] Lowest common ancestor (LCA), etc.
by Jeremy Murphy 08 Dec '14

08 Dec '14

Hi, I'm working on some graph algorithms that I thought might be useful additions to Boost.Graph, such as the classic LCA and more recent lowest single common ancestor (LSCA) [1]. Is there interest in having these added? I saw there was some discussion of LCA between Cromwell Enage and others back in 2004 but I'm unaware of the outcome (in terms of proposed code, etc). Cheers.
