Boost geometry

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

FYI ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Mateusz Loskot <mateusz(a)loskot.net> Date: Wed, 12 Feb 2020 at 09:21 Subject: Eclipse Foundation standardising AsciiDoc To: <boost-docs(a)lists.boost.org> Hi, Number of Boost libraries/tools use AsciiDoc as preferred documentation format, so I think this initiative may be of interest here https://www.eclipse.org/lists/asciidoc-wg/msg00001.html https://www.eclipse.org/lists/asciidoc-wg/msg00002.html Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net

[Boost.Real] Base Change Not Incorporated in Initializer List Constructors
by Jai . 12 Feb '20

12 Feb '20

The base change done during GSoC 2019 seems to have not been incorporated in the initializer list constructors, thus giving incorrect results. Regards, Jai

by Mateusz Loskot 10 Feb '20

10 Feb '20

Hi, Am I seeing it right that nothing has been scheduled for 2020 at https://www.boost.org/development/index.html or is there a problem with the calendar (or my browser)? What is the schedule of the Boost 1.73.0 ? Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net
