(I am using Clang and GCC from this site with CodeBlocks IDE and also using b2/bjam but I could not get the clang-win .exe to build reliably and am using clang-linux .exe in my user-config.jam. However this isn't any help to your difficulties ☹ ). > compiler set to 2017 microsoft-cl in VS2017: > libboost_serialization-vc141-mt-gd-x32-1_74.lib > > compiler set to clang-cl in VS2017: > libboost_serialization-clangw10-mt-gd-x32-1_74.lib > > that behavior is new to 1.74 - older boosts versions 1.69..1.73 would use the vc141 libs what makes > sense because clang-cl is the microsoft-cl compatible replacement > > normaly there is no need to switch any external libs when using clang-cl instead of microsoft-cl

using clang-cl with 1.74-rc2 forces auto-link to search for clangw10 libs instead of using existing microsoft-cl built libs

using latest VS2010 and llvm/clang 10.0.0 release (10.0.1 is a litte bit more recent but no windows builds available) compiler set to 2017 microsoft-cl in VS2017: libboost_serialization-vc141-mt-gd-x32-1_74.lib compiler set to clang-cl in VS2017: libboost_serialization-clangw10-mt-gd-x32-1_74.lib that behavior is new to 1.74 - older boosts versions 1.69..1.73 would use the vc141 libs what makes sense because clang-cl is the microsoft-cl compatible replacement normaly there is no need to switch any external libs when using clang-cl instead of microsoft-cl

Please download the beta, give it a try, and report any problems you encounter. Issues that were found during the beta release process and will be fixed for the final 1.74.0 release: * The Boost.STLInterfaces documentation was left out of the beta. * Some of the Boost.Geometry documentation files have very long names; this could cause problems on platforms (like Windows) with shorter limits on path lengths. * There is a compile error in Boost.ASIO when compiling with 32-bit MSVC-14.2 with BOOST_BEAST_NO_TS_EXECUTORS.

Re: [boost] Hello everybody, I have something to share about the shared_ptr class
by 逸霖杨 04 Aug '20

04 Aug '20

Last post was sent directly to Rob, I forgot to cc list.bost.org. Thinking of the multiple calling of the detors, which is suggested by Rob and other members, I came up with some ideas. This IS about specification. If class A has a dispose method like class A { A(){} ~A(){} //Dispose method: !A(){} }; Where !A() can be called multiple times and ~A() can be called only one time. Everything rcgc_ptr delegates will be called its dispose in !A() and therefore multiple times to just decrease the reference count and finally call ~A() when real delete happens. And this can be done on the compiler level (!A() maybe not visible at all or just visible when you use like ~A()). Saying this algorithm is a part of the C++ language itself, then C++ has no need to manually manage pointers (at least the unwanted management). Idea is inspired by all of you especially Andrey Janson and Rob. Thank you all! Best Regards, Yilin

Hello everybody, I have something to share about the shared_ptr class
by 逸霖杨 02 Aug '20

02 Aug '20

Hello dear boost members, I’m quite honored to join this mail list for the first time! As I was told that the boost project is where the shared_ptr class originated, so I think it should be OK to talk about it here. Here I have some ideas and code on my version of shared_ptr class. The aim is to remove the usage of weak_ptr and fix the circular reference problem. Please check code on https://github.com/yyl-20020115/RCGC That’s the idea and primitive implementation. I don’t know exactly how to test it more widely among situations, please help me to find the very situations that this solution would fail, and I’ll try to fix it ASAP. READM.md is a good start and README_ZHCN.md is better if you can read Chinese. However, I don’t think I can illustrate the algorithm very well both in English and Chinese. Well the code speaks for itself, and please read the code and run the program. Please generate a makefile and build with CMakeLists.txt on *nix platforms if Visual Studio 2019 (where I code the project) is not available. All ideas and discussions and help from you are all very welcome! Best Regards, Yilin
