[gsoc18] Becoming a mentor
by Adam Wulkiewicz 25 Mar '18

25 Mar '18

Hi, What's the procedure of becoming a mentor? I couldn't find any info at our Wiki regarding this. Do I understand correctly that I should be able to go to gsoc page and agree to mentor a proposed project? I'm unable to log in. Do I need some sort of invitation? Adam

[gsoc18] Boost.uBLAS support for tensors: seeking a mentor
by Лясота Костя 25 Mar '18

25 Mar '18

Hello, My name is Konstantin. I would like to add tensor support to boost library. I am an aspirant (1st year) in computer science from Moscow Technological University, Russia (I believe aspirant corresponds to PhD Student in USA), and I have taken extra tensor algebra and differential geometry courses. My motivation, besides my affection towards topology and tensors, comes from the fact that I need C++ tensor library for use in my own project. Since I'm going to implement it, I would like to see it as a part of great open source project like Boost that anyone can use. Â I have completed a competency test: [1]http://coliru.stacked-crooked.com/a/5cf1908494c2da5d Due to some circumstances I had to do that in web ide, but I should be able to send it in separate .h and .cpp files directly via email if needed. Â I'm sorry I applied so late, but I found out about gsoc only yesterday. I should note that I'm willing to implement this even not as gsoc student, so contact me if you're interested.

Hello, >From Boost submission template, https://svn.boost.org/trac10/wiki/SoCSubmissionTemplate, I'm a little confused by the wording of the following question: "What are your plans beyond this Summer of Code time frame for your proposed work?" So, does this question ask about how much time I'll spend on my proposed project besides the GSoC expected timeframe, or does it ask about my plans for some projects other than this GSoC project?

Valid point. I understand that may be the case indeed. OTOH, I think, the CMake has become a delicate topic in Boost. Every time I want to ask about any kind of use of CMake in Boost, I fear that will make the snowball rolling down the hill, again :) For instance, I wish Boost offered CMake support library, review eg. BCM and let it in. I'm not speaking of building Boost with CMake, no! I mean joint development of support scripts for Modern CMake which are useful for those Boost library developers who wish to add CMake configuration (along the official BB2), for convenience. I think such bunch of Boost for CMake scripts would foster better common practices. Currently, there is bunch of CMake-enabled libraries, each developed in isolation, each using different conventions, techniques, custom macros, modules. Lately, I was adding CMake setup for Boost.GIL. It made me wondering why the BCM thing is not in boost/tools/bcm. Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net

Note that you are only referring to "Boost.uBLAS" as a whole. As you'll see on https://github.com/boostorg/boost/wiki/Boost-Google-Summer-of-Code-2018, there are actually multiple project proposals for this library. Also, note that these are mere proposals.

That's very hard to say without knowing a bit more about your programming experience and your interests. I suggest you put together a little "resume" of your education and programming background, then pick one of the competency tests above, just to get started. Then we can iterate over that and see whether there is a possible match.

If the game's main function was called main and your hook function was called _main_hook, then you'd need a way to get your function inside of the same address space of game's process. So that would mean DLL injection, adding your DLL to the list of loaded modules etc. What's the workflow? For software where the source code is available you'd simply compile your executable with the hooks and you wouldn't have to go through the problem of having your shared library/DLL getting loaded by the process.

It's a proposal for the addition of Boost.Hook, a function hooking and control flow augmentation library.

[gsoc18] Project proposal for Boost.Geometry (set operations on boxes)
by Tinko Bartels 22 Mar '18

22 Mar '18

Hi, one week ago I posted a mail searching for mentors for a Boost.Geometry idea about implementing the basic set operations (difference, union_, sym_difference) for <box,box,Collection<box> and I was happy to see interest voiced by Vissarion and Adam. I have now completed my proposal with a slightly extended version of that idea and I'd be thankful for any comments: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gNtqTbkDVXp9dPCRZZut4bBgjvQwJNdoV-EJOrE… I've also improved my proof of concept/self-designed competency test, added a check for correctness and committed it to the github repository: https://github.com/tinko92/boost_geometry_difference_demo It now includes a patch for the boost_1_66_0 source tree, that allows tests of that implementation with the proper call: boost::geometry::difference(box1,box2,box_vector) (hopefully, if I didn't break anything I didn't see) without breaking it for other geometries. This was tested on GCC (main.cpp can be built if the folder tree from the repository is copied to some directory XYZ with the command g++ main.cpp -o main -IXYZ), VC9 and VC15. Thanks in advance for any comments on the proposal or the preliminary implementation of difference. Best, Tinko -- Sent from: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/Boost-Dev-f2600599.html
