The small change: https://github.com/boostorg/smart_ptr/commit/88f0a98d71 Renaming identifier of a member function from "free" to anything that is not "free" to compensate for _CRTDBG_MAP_ALLOC users in MSVC. (A colleague at Microsoft reported this to me today; he tried the 1.56.0 beta with MSVC and with _CRTDBG_MAP_ALLOC defined. It doesn't like a member function named "free"). Glen

Help about boost library x64 used in the LibLas tools
by Luca Nardelli 26 Jul '14

26 Jul '14

Helo to all, thanks a LOT for your great work! I'm trying to use the x64 library for VS 2013 (12), but I have a lot of "unresolved errors" when I try to compile the *LibLas *library that uses boost. For example I get this error: *error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "class boost::system::error_category const & __cdecl boost::system::system_category(void)" (?system_category@system@boost@@YAAEBVerror_category@12@XZ)* Could you maybe help me or give some hint? Thanks!!! -- "Il miglior modo per cambiare e iniziare"

C++ committee meeting report
by Beman Dawes 25 Jul '14

25 Jul '14

The C++ committee met last week in Rapperswil, Switzerland. Actions that might be of interest to Boosters include: * Shipped the File System TS for ISO DTS (i.e. final) ballot. Since it would be very unusual for at DTS ballot to fail, the File System TS is essentially done. The committee is now actively looking for File System TS 2 proposals. My work now shifts to bringing the Boost implementation into compliance. * Shipped the Library Fundamentals TS for ISO PDTS (i.e. preliminary) ballot. This TS includes Boost.Any and Boost.Optional. * Voted to start work Library Fundamentals TS 2. The plan is to issue a continuing stream of Library Fundamentals TSes, with work starting on the next TS as soon as content for the current TS freezes. Hopefully Boost developers will submit proposals for this TS too. It will be a good home for small libraries that don't need a whole TS of their own. * Shipped the C++ Extensions for Parallelism TS for ISO PDTS (i.e. preliminary) ballot. * The Library Evolution Working Group (LEWG) voted to base the Networking TS on Boost.ASIO. That was a major surprise, as a Networking Study Group had been trying to build up a Networking TS from many small proposals. But in LEWG polls, support for ASIO was overwhelming, with no one at all voting against. This was a major vote of confidence for Boost.ASIO and Chris Kohlhoff. And several ASIO supporters were not even in the room at the time because Filesystem issues were being worked on elsewhere. The next C++ committee meeting is November 3rd to 8th in Urbana-Champaign, IL, USA. As always, Boosters welcome. --Beman

[rational] Inadvertent construction from double
by Andrzej Krzemienski 25 Jul '14

25 Jul '14

Hi, I have encountered something I consider a bug in boost::rational's interface. Its documentation discusses in detail why conversion from double is not supported, but the following code works fine: #include <iostream> #include <boost/rational.hpp> int main() { double d = 31.82; boost::rational<int> r = d; std::cout << r << std::endl; } With the following result: 31/1 It just discards the fractional part. Such conversion is really confusing an I claim should be explicitly deleted. Regards, &rzej

Use of third-party libraries
by Michael Shepanski 25 Jul '14

25 Jul '14

On one hand, there's this: "A Boost library *should not* use libraries other than Boost or the C++ Standard Library." (http://www.boost.org/development/reuse.html) On the other hand, sometimes it just seems like common sense. E.g. Boost.Math uses NTL, MPFR, and others. Now I'm trying to get quince and its backend libraries (quince_postgresql, quince_sqlite) into shape for blincubator. The job of the backends is to liaise between quince and other people's libraries: libpq and sqlite3. There is no getting around that. So I was hoping that the prohibition would be waived in this case, as it was in the case of Boost.Math. The trouble I have is that quince_postgresql and quince_sqlite are *not* header-only, and their code that calls libpq and sqlite3 is in .cpp files. And yet I don't want them to break the boost build for people who don't need this stuff, and haven't installed either or both of those third-party libraries. Any suggestions? Any precedents? Thanks, --- Michael

How to establish boost configurations for cross-compilers not currently covered?
by Dave Gomboc 25 Jul '14

25 Jul '14

The boost config manual (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/config/doc/html/index.html) does not explicitly address the case where one is attempting to determine the relative lack of C++98 compliance of a cross-compiler (e.g., for an embedded system) that is not already within Boost's supported set of compilers. Is there a clear process documented somewhere for how to go about this? If not, I would appreciate any tips. I have more than one cross-compiler that I am interesting in "Boost"ing. Thanks, Dave

[function_types] synthesis & explicit calling convention

I am unable to synthesize a pointer to a function (or a function type) with the fastcall (or any other, explicitly specified) calling convention.

[type_erasure] call with multiple placeholders
by Benedek Thaler 24 Jul '14

24 Jul '14

Hi, I have the following type erasure setup: https://github.com/erenon/pipeline/blob/type_erasure/include/boost/pipeline… I'd like to make `any` have a method template, `connect_to`, i.e: class any { template <typename T> auto connect_to(const T&) {} } I have a concept, added to the main concept like this: detail::has_connect_to<type_erasure::_self, type_erasure::_a> And also a concept_interface specialization. (Bottom of the file in the link above) The doc says: "When there are multiple placeholders involved, you will have to use tuple, or pass the bindings explicitly, but the substitution still works the same way. " I'm trying to do just like this, but without success. Errors include: error: ‘const struct boost::type_erasure::_self’ has no member named ‘connect_to’ error: ‘apply’ is not a member of ‘boost::pipeline::detail::has_connect_to<boost::type_erasure::_self, boost::type_erasure::_a>’ *error: no matching function for call to ‘call(boost::type_erasure::concept_interface<...[snip]...>`* I think the last one is the core issue, but I can't figure out how to pass the binding properly. I don't know why does concept_interface show up as the first argument. Thanks, Benedek

[xpressive] capture float?
by Greg Rubino 24 Jul '14

24 Jul '14

Hi all, I'm trying to capture a float with xpressive and put it into a local map. As a simplified example, I tried just pushing the matched pattern to a float and the result is always a float containing '0'. namespace xpr = boost::xpressive; std::map<float, std::string> l_floatOperMap; xpr::sregex l_relation = xpr::as_xpr("<=") | ">=" | "<" | ">"); l_floatRestriction = !(xpr::s1 = l_relation) >> (xpr::s2 = (+xpr::_d >> '.' >> +xpr::_d)) [xpr::ref(l_floatOperMap)[xpr::as<float>(xpr::s2)] = xpr::as<std::string>(xpr::s1)]; However, when I go to print the contents of l_floatOperMap, it contains only the tuple (0, ""). Is it something I'm doing wrong? It seems like this should work to me. Thanks, Greg

[winrt support] Adding support for Windows 8 store/phone to Boost libraries
by stgates 22 Jul '14

22 Jul '14

Hi, I work for Microsoft and we’ve been taking a look at making a some of the libraries in Boost work in the Windows 8 store and phone 8 runtime environment (WinRT). The main issue is use of Win32 desktop APIs that are banned in WinRT. The fixes generally involve updating to a newer non-banned version, like CreateEvent to CreateEventEx, or replace areas that call banned APIs using ifdef macro techniques. Similar to what already exists in some places of Boost when targeting different platforms or operating system versions. Files which do not use any banned APIs are largely unaffected. So far we’ve made the thread, chrono, system, and date_time libraries work in WinRT. To facilitate building and testing, changes are also required to the build and test libraries. Listed at the end of this message is a summary of the major changes made. I’m unfamiliar with the process for contributing back to Boost and would like to know what is the best way to work, to contributing back these changes to each of the individual libraries? I see the documentation for working with the git submodules (https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/StartModPatchAndPullReq) Right now the changes for each library are in a forked repository on a new branch called ‘winrt’ from the ‘develop’ branch. For example the changes we've made for the chrono library can be located here: https://github.com/MSOpenTech/chrono/tree/winrt. Is the best way to proceed, or should I to just initiate a pull request to the develop branch on each of the individual libraries? Thanks, Steve Boost Build To support deciding which Windows API to target I added a new feature <windows-api> with values desktop, store, and phone. When utilizing the Visual Studio 2012 on Windows 8 or later the store and phone options are available, otherwise desktop is the default. Most of the changes in msvc.jam are to deal with selecting the correct vcvars setup script since with phone it is in a different location. I also added ARM support to the msvc toolset. For libraries which support the new Windows Runtime they now produce both the desktop and store binaries by default. This is done by calling the supported-windows-api rule I added in toolset.msvc which is called in the default-build section of each library’s Jamfile to indicate if targeting WinRT is supported. When building for the Windows 8 store or phone a new macro is now defined BOOST_WINAPI_FAMILY, set with the same value as WINAPI_FAMILY. This is then used in the individual Boost libraries to detect if targeting the new Windows Runtime and avoid certain banned APIs. To handle running tests against WinRT in an automated fashion that integrates well into the Boost workflow of running tests as part of the build, if windows-api is set to store, the test and all its binary dependencies need to have the APPCONTAINER requirement stripped. This then allows execution outside of the sandboxed Windows store environment. To do this all dependent dlls are copied into the tests executable’s folder, if using <link>shared. This is necessary to avoid modifying the APPCONTAINER flag on the actual product binaries. Just let me know if this needs more explanation, I’ll be glad to go into more detail if necessary. With this change the tests for Windows store run just like the existing Windows tests. I also added a new feature to control whether or not test binaries are actually executed, disable-test-execution. This is used to avoid running the ARM tests when building since Visual Studio 2012 doesn’t install on ARM devices. All these changes are in testing.msvc. Chrono The GetProcessTimes and GetThreadTimes functions doesn’t exist for WinRT and there are no replacements so the thread_clock and process user, system, and cpu clock features are disabled. Only process_real_cpu_clock is supported. Thread For the thread library most of the changes are around the fact that there is no way to directly create a thread in WinRT. To work around this I implemented the boost::thread class itself on top of std::thread. This actually leads to pretty clean code, much cleaner than directly targeting the WRL thread pool like in the C runtime. Other changes include moving from TLS to FLS and basic banned API replacements like WaitForSingleObjectEx for WaitForSingleObject. In general where it makes sense updates were made to utilize new APIs on platforms when available. Test For the Boost test library I added a new macro for turning on/off debugging support (BOOST_TEST_HAS_DEBUG_SUPPORT). WinRT doesn’t support creating processes so attaching a debugger to execution like this is disabled. There also are no APIs for accessing registry keys, so this feature has been disabled as well. -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/winrt-support-Adding-support-for-Windows… Sent from the Boost - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

New cross-platforms toolsets
by José Agustín Terol Sanchis 22 Jul '14

22 Jul '14

Hi, I am trying to add a new toolset for cross-compile to several platforms. So, I've added some ".jam" files (<mytoolset>_<platform>.jam) in path "tools/build/v2/tools", and I can use them to compile and test Boost libraries using bjam's parameter "toolset=<mytoolset>_<platform>". But I have some doubts/questions: 1) Do I need to add a .py file? Why some toolsets have a .py file? 2) Are .jam files generated by executing a Python script that translates all these .py files to .jam? That would be great since bjam's syntax is complex. 3) Should I add a .jam file per platform? Or can I made a unique .jam file for all platforms? If so, how do I change the resultant build-path in order to avoid possible overwrittings (or make it shorter)? I read most of the documentation of Boost's build system and Bjam that I found on the webpage, but maybe I've missed something. Thank you in advance, Agus Terol

VMD library version 1.7
by Edward Diener 22 Jul '14

22 Jul '14

The latest version of the VMD library, version 1.7, has been released. The VMD library is an advanced macro preprocessor library using variadic macros to provide the ability to parse/identify various types of preprocessor data as well as emptiness. The library works well within constraints that the designer of macros may impose on the end-user. I have re-engineered the library to provide extensive functionality beyond what had been there before. In particular the library can parse/identify pp-identifiers, Boost PP numbers, Boost PP arrays, Boost PP lists, Boost PP seqs, Boost PP tuples, and empty data. The library is also capable of parsing a sequence of such preprocessor type above as a single paarameter. It also adds better variadic support for Boost PP ASSERTs as well as for generating empty data and invoking identity. The library makes it possible to design macros whose logic changes depending on what type of preprocessor data is input, within the constraints of the preprocessor data it can parse. The library is on Github at https://github.com/eldiener/variadic_macro_data.git as well as in the Boost Library Incubator at http://rrsd.com/blincubator.com/bi_library/vmd/?gform_post_id=908. The library is on the Boost review queue and I am looking for a review manager for the library. The library is designed to be added to modular-boost beneath the libs sub-directory and needs the 'develop' branch of Boost PP to work properly. Once Boost 1.56 is released I will be merging the 'develop' branch of Boost PP into the 'master' branch and VMD will then work with the latest Boost in 'master'. Instructions for using the library, regenerating documentation, and running the test are in the top-level *.txt files. The library works with gcc 3.3 on up, all versions of clang, and VC++ 8 on up. It should also work with the latest version(s) of Intel C++. I realize that preprocessor metaprogramming is not as interesting as template metaprogramming but if you are at all interested in what the preprocessor can do using varaiadic macros, please take a look at the VMD library. Questions, comments, and whatever other remarks are welcome both here in this mailing list and/or a the Boost Library Incubator sight. if you would be willing to serve as a Review Manager for the library feel free to contact me personally. I realize nearly everyone is busy with the 1.56 release but if you are interested and eventually have time to look at the VMD and critique it, it would be greatly appreciated by me. Thank you !

[boost-test] Is there interest in BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_TEMPLATE
by Damian Vicino 21 Jul '14

21 Jul '14

I was working last few days in refactoring some tests for some class templates we have to use BOOST_AUTO_TEST_TEMPLATE in place of having several BOOST_AUTO_TEST with different hardcoded parameters. In our testing setup, we usually have one suite per class we are testing. Since we want to cover all test of the suite using same template parameters, I defined the same parameters to every BOOST_AUTO_TEST_TEMPLATE. I was thinking, that maybe, it was nice to have the template parameter assigned to the test suite in place of the tests itself. Is someone else interested in this feature? If there is interest I can try to implement it. Regards, Damian

Hi, I quoted a template class to put it into a mpl::vector doing this: boost::mpl::vector<int, boost::mpl::quote2<std::pair>> Then, I obtained the 2nd element like this: using A=typename boost::mpl::at<T, boost::mpl::int_<2>>::type; I need now to pass the original template class to a class like this: template<class A, template<class, class> class C> class B{ C<A, B*> _c; }; I'm tried using apply or bind, but couldn't figure out the way to make it in a way that B accept it as second parameter. I get errors of the kind: error: template argument for template template parameter must be a class template or type alias template I also posted the question in stack overflow so if someone participates in stack overflow and want some potints the question is: http://stackoverflow.com/q/24856504/861649?sem=2 Thanks in advance, Damian

[website] Invalid characters in authors' names on the libraries lists
by Adam Wulkiewicz 20 Jul '14

20 Jul '14

Hi, I noticed that there are some invalid characters in the names, e.g. on the page http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_56_0_b1 Vicente J. Botet EscribÃ¡ Ion GaztaÃ±aga JoaquÃn M LÃ³pez MuÃ±oz AFAIU it's not a problem with the charset because it's explicitly written this way in HTML: Vicente J. Botet EscribÃ¡ Ion GaztaÃ±aga JoaquÃn M LÃ³pez MuÃ±oz So I'm guessing that there is a problem with some conversion from ... to HTML or with the ... source file. If the problem couldn't be fixed, the replacing of the problematic letters would be an obvious workaround. Btw, what needs to be done to modify this page? Is it stored in QBK and built automatically or is it stored in HTML format only? The same question for http://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_56_0.html, however in this case I managed to find HTML file in the Website module. If I'd like to modify those pages what should I do? Regards, Adam

[boost-test] question about using templates for tests
by Damian Vicino 20 Jul '14

20 Jul '14

Hi, I’m trying to test a template with different parameters and I can’t figure out how to do it for the following case. My class is something like this: template<class T, class M, template<class, class> class F> class C { T t; M m; F<T, std::shared_ptr<C<T, M, F>; Public: … } So my test, should receive 3 template classes, first 2 normal classes and a third which receives 2 Template Parameters. For now I’m just duplicating the tests for each implementation I write for F and they pass. Anyway, it is starting to be hard to maintain, a template solution would be great. F is suppose to receive a priority_queue like parameter, something getting a value and a comparison operator. For example, this is one of the parameters I’m testing with: template <class VALUE_TYPE, class COMPARE_TYPE> using priority_queue_vector = std::priority_queue<VALUE_TYPE, std::vector<VALUE_TYPE>, COMPARE_TYPE>; Is it possible to do this with current Boost.Test? Thanks in advance

[clang] Using clang in Windows
by Edward Diener 19 Jul '14

19 Jul '14

Just a note to everybody about using clang in Windows. I upgraded the latest clang-linux.jam file in Boost Build on the 'develop' branch so that clang in Windows using gcc should now work for the purposes of testing Boost libraries. If you get the latest clang and build it on Windows using CMake with any of the mingw generators or Ninja, you will have a clang executable which will default to a target using gcc headers and libraries. If you add a line in user-config.jam such as: using clang : : yourpath/clang++.exe ; then you should be able to execute: b2 toolset=clang in order to run tests from withion a test directory for any Boost library using clang as your compiler. The output looks very good without any of the problems I have seen before when running clang in Windows. Just make sure you switch to the Boost Build 'develop' branch and pull the latest source. I have been successful so far when running tests of preprocessor, mpl, type_traits, and tti with clang in Windows. I will test some more libraries but so far it looks to me that the clang developers have finally created a version under Windows which can be used to successfully test Boost libraries. This adds one more reliable testing environment under Windows. Now I can use the latest clang, various flavors of gcc under mingw, and various flavors of VC++.

Then I think to extend it with time stamp as Niall Douglas wrote. I just need atomic CAS for 64bit. Cause the time stamp and process ID must be changed in one shot. Then I can skip many robust checks, if the time from last lock is shorter than some predefined interval. So many regular locks will neither test file lock and it will run faster. In case one process die, there will be expired timeout and lock candidate will go check file lock. I'll check if I can add a 64bit CAS in boost\interprocess\detail\atomic.hpp. (if you know how it should be done, it will be a big help for me, cause I have not a lot of practice in atomic portable world.) regards -- Sopko Ladislav 3D Informatica, Via Speranza 35, 40068, S.Lazzaro di Savena - Bologna, Italy Tel: +39051450844 | Fax: +39051451942 WWW: http://www.3di.it Documentation: https://intra.3di.it/manuali/ - http://wiki.3di.it FTP: ftp://ftp@ftp.3di.it, Download:/3di, Upload:/incoming **** Informativa Privacy - Ai sensi del D.

regex iterator memory leak
by Marjan Yahyanejad 18 Jul '14

18 Jul '14

I am using the example code of regex iterator in http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/regex/doc/html/boost_regex/ref/re… , in a linux machine with default boost config which means NON RECURSIVE, and 4096 block size , I run the example with mtrace , setting it at first line of main method and doing muntrace right before return 0, I see that 4096 bytes get lost based on mtrace logs. if there are no flaws in my test, then is there something I should separately call to free up that memory? Otherwise that blocks seems lost to me. The original reason I started this test was that I have a similar code, and I see memory corruption on my machine which is causing connection drops to my rabbitmq server and it goes away as soon as I comment out the following three lines. So I think there is something wrong with the memory allocations of boost regex iterator. boost::sregex_iterator m1(text.begin(), text.end(), expression); boost::sregex_iterator m2; std::for_each(m1, m2, &regex_callback); Thanks --
