Re: [boost] DCVS vs CVS: call for constructivism
by Gottlob Frege 23 Mar '12

23 Mar '12

I have a question for the git (or hg) people. Maybe the concrete situation will shed some light on some of the issues (or maybe I'll just get some help and stop pulling what's left of my hair out). I'm working on code.cpp and morecode.cpp. At the same time, I am writing scripts like review.sh (makes git work better with code collaborator) and, say, custom_make.bat. I am going back and forth on these as needed. In particular, as the cpp files get in shape I commit, and maybe post something for review. We leads me to change review.sh. Or as I get things working, I modify custom_build.bat. To me, once done, these are separate commits/branches/features/changelists (whatever you want to call them). But while working on them, I don't want to flip between branches - I find I'm always changing something in the wrong branch when I try separate branches. ie I change code.cpp while in the "scripts" branch. And it is often more than 2 things I am working on. And sometimes (not usually) they are at least somewhat related - ie code.cpp depends on yourstuff.h, and I need to make a small fix in yourstuff.h. In the end, that fix will be separate, but until i know it is correct, it tends to stay mixed with my other work. Now maybe the dependency case is different, I don't know. (obviously at the end of the day, the order of dependent changes needs to be pushed correctly). So basically, in something like perforce, I can group the files into changelists, and then forget about it until something is completely done and ready to commit. I understand I'm losing other features (small commits, being able to easily set it all aside, etc), but this is my common workflow. Should I do everything on a messy "work" branch and just sort it out when I am ready to push? Should I keep the features in separate branches, but pull from branch to branch all the time? (I don't think I want to spend that much time with the RCS. I like forgetting about it most of the time.) Am I just doing it wrong? (And did any of this make any sense?)

[typeof] MSVC errors on PGI?
by lcaminiti 23 Mar '12

Hello all, I'm getting compiler errors when using Boost.Typeof on PGI (plus these errors seems to be from Boost.Typeof for MSVC?). It's the first time I try to use PGI... what am I doing wrong? // File: 01.cpp #include <boost/typeof/typeof.hpp> int main() { int x = 0; BOOST_TYPEOF(x) y = x; return y; } $ pgcpp -I ../../.. 01.cpp "../../../boost/typeof/msvc/typeof_impl.hpp", line 150: error: class "boost::type_of::msvc_extract_type<ID>::id2type [with ID=ID]" cannot be defined in the current scope struct base_type::id2type // This uses nice VC6.5 and VC7.1 bugfeature ^ "../../../boost/typeof/msvc/typeof_impl.hpp", line 160: error: incomplete type is not allowed typedef typename id2type::type type; ^ detected during instantiation of class "boost::type_of::msvc_typeid_wrapper<ID> [with ID=5]" at line 6 of "01.cpp" 2 errors detected in the compilation of "01.cpp".

Looking for some "real world" extended precision integer arithmetic tests
by John Maddock 23 Mar '12

23 Mar '12

Folks, I'm continuing to add to the multiprecision arithmetic library in the sandbox (under "big_number"), and I've just added a Boost licensed fixed-precision integer type which on Win32 at least looks to be very competitive with GMP for reasonable numbers of bits (up to about 1024), see http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/big_number/libs/multiprecision/doc/h… However, as we all know there are lies damn lies and performance stats ;-) Plus the test results I have above ignore the effect of memory allocations (needed by libtommath and GMP, but not the fixed_int code - which in theory should make it faster still). So I'd be really interested to put the type through it's paces with some real world code that really thrashes an extended precision integer type. Any suggestions? Anything in Boost? Thanks in advance, John.

[Context] Compile Broken for MSVC under x64 (r77477 Trunk)
by Joshua Boyce 23 Mar '12

23 Mar '12

r77477 has broken compilation of Boost.Context on trunk for me when using MSVC and targeting x64 (it spits out a "platform not supported" error). I believe this is because MSVC does not define any of the preprocessor directives that are being checked now (instead of _WIN64). I believe the fix for this is to check _M_AMD64 and/or _M_X64. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/b0084kay(v=vs.110).aspx _M_X64: Defined for x64 processors. _M_AMD64: Defined for x64 processors. This patch fixes the issue for me: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/74751/cpp/boost/patches/context-msvc-x64-fix-201203… Thanks.

[algorithm] aesthetic question about cxx11
by lcaminiti 22 Mar '12

22 Mar '12

Hello all, I have an aesthetic question. Boost.Algorithm puts C++11 algorithms like all_of into a directory boost/algorithm/cxx11. Would the directory name boost/algorithm/cpp11 be preferred? I think for file names .cpp and .hpp are Boost choice over .cxx and .hxx. But for directory names instead cxx11 is Boost choice over cpp11? Similarly, shall macros that refer to C++11 be named BOOST_..._CPP11_... or BOOST_..._CXX11_...? In general, shall Boost refer to C++11 as cpp11/CPP11 or cxx11/CXX11? Given that .cpp/.hpp is Boost choice for file names over .cxx/.hxx, I'd think cpp11/CPP11 would be Boost choice over cxx11/CXX11... P.S. I have a similar situation in Boost.Contract where I want to put macros to parse C++11 keywords (override, final, etc) in a separated directory and I want to name that directory cxx11 or cpp11 consistently with other Boost libraries (so users don't have to remember different conventions).

[config] local types as template params
by Lorenzo Caminiti 22 Mar '12

22 Mar '12

Hello all, Is it possible to add a macro BOOST_CONFIG_LOCAL_TYPES_AS_TEMPLATE_PARAMS to Boost.Config to indicate if local types can be passed as template parameters? 1) Boost.Closure (formerly, Boost.Local) implements some optimizations when local types can be passed as template parameters. 2) C++11 always allows to pass local types as template parameters. 3) Local types cannot be passed as template parameters on C++03 instead but some C++03 compilers MSVC 8 (and older?) allow it anyway. // If it is possible to pass local types (classes, etc) as template parameters. // This is not possible in pure C++03 but it is possible in some C++03 // extensions (MSVC 8.0) and with C++11 (GCC >= 4.5.x -std=c++0x). #if (__GNUC__ > 4 || (__GNUC__ == 4 && __GNUC_MINOR__ > 4)) && \ defined(__GXX_EXPERIMENTAL_CXX0X__) // From GCC 4.5.x when -std=c++0x specified. # define BOOST_LOCAL_TYPES_AS_TEMPLATE_PARAMS #elif defined(_MSC_VER) // For (all?) MSVC (tested on MVSC 8.0). # define BOOST_LOCAL_TYPES_AS_TEMPLATE_PARAMS #endif All, can you please try to compile the following example on different compilers/versions and let me know the outcome? If this example compiles successfully then the specific compiler supports local types as template parameters: #include <algorithm> #include <iostream> int main() { struct s { void operator()(int x) { std::cout << x << std::endl; } } l; int nums[] = {1, 2, 3}; std::for_each(nums, nums + 3, l); return 0; } For example, this compiles on GCC >= 4.5.x w/ C++0x extensions enabled and on MSVC 8.0- does it compile on all MSVC versions? Thanks. --Lorenzo

There was murky and a few other clients around for OSX. But for now the scene seems to have settled into MacHg and SourceTree. I would also point out that I think the kiln team will soon have a nice port of TortiseHg to OSX. A partial listing of general tools is here: http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/OtherTools (Note I have not put MacHg on the AppStore since it is a bit of a pain trying to sand box the thing. I think Neil (the author of SourceTree) complained about the fact that he could not include compiled python file etc, in the app store version. Also a good GUI should have some command line drivers. Eg from the command line you should be able to enter "machg somerepo" and have it open in MacHg or something similar. (This has been on my to-do list for quite some time.) And such tools contravene the AppStore guidelines. Eg BBedit had to remove such tools from their application in order to get it onto the AppStore. Eg see http://www.barebones.com/store/macappstore.html and the section about the limitations of the AppStore version.)) I would think most developers would not be strictly limited to the AppStore version and a simple google of "OSX mercurial" will turn up MacHg... As to the whole discussion of Mercurial vs Git. I really have to say that both products are quite similar now in what they can do. However, the learning curve for me for git is just not good. Eg just for some simple comparisons do a: [salt:~] ⌘ hg help pull | wc 40 264 1753 [salt:~] ⌘ git help pull | wc 638 3624 29834 These are basically the same commands. Yet, the size of the help entry for pull for mercurial is 6% of the size of the git help entry. That says a lot about the understandability of one system to the other. (cf the size difference for other commands like pull, log, status, etc.) Git has **soo** many bells and whistles. Every so often as a real DVCS ninja git has something that mercurial doesn't have in my experience. Eg there is a feature in git when you are doing a total conversion of a repository you can run a filter over all of the files as you go. (eg imagine you want to convert all of say windows newlines to unix newlines in every version stored in history, or some other repetitive thing like this.) Up until a little while ago Mercurial didn't have that feature. So on the extreme cases there are definitely bits to git where git has more options. However these extra command switches in git are definitely a very sharp double edged sword in that for the average user the number of git options is just insanely huge. Thus I think the mercurial philosophy of trying to keep things clean, organized, and coherent is much better for at least 90% of users if not more like 98% of users. I am sure that each of you and each of your colleagues are gurus in a number of things, but do you want to require that they are gurus in DVCS systems? Even in Mercurial a lot of the users I encounter are sometimes woefully clued in to what is going on, and Mercurial is more streamlined, and cleanly organized than git (in my humble personal experience.) And it isn't all a bed of roses in Mercurial either. Eg there are things one should really watch out for, for example in using sub-repositories (these parallel sub-modules in git) one should use a thin super-repo layer. We got bitten by this at our work and it has caused problems. See eg http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/Subrepository#Recommendations Other points to consider: Those people who think you can't edit history in Mercurial or have many "branches" within a repo, their information is years out of date... I edit history and rebase, etc all of the time. It is part of my standard work flows. The arguments about popularity might have some weight but I think Mercurial and Git are definitely both large enough and will stick around. Besides converting one repo to the other in case one disappears is not that difficult. There are tools which interoperate between both formats (se hg-git.) Also, being a GUI writer I would say the number of differences once you are using a GUI is even smaller in day to day usage once you know what is going on. One, difference is with git you have to be careful to name *everything* or you get "detached heads". In mercurial you don't have to worry about this at all. You can happily update to any revision and start working right there without having to remember to name it / think up a name for it. (However, there are certain advantages to naming everything since then you can track revisions across all sorts of history edits, where-as in Mercurial you have to do some of this tracking manually...) (As a GUI writer I have thought about making the changes to MacHg to be able to release MacGit, but ever time I start playing with git it just... I don't know... I can go into details but the details would likely not be relevant here...) In any case, I use boost in my projects and think it's fantastic! Whether you all end up choosing git or hg a DVCS IMHO is much better than a centralized VCS. (However, I haven't used svn extensively since the company I worked for has skipped directly from cvs to mercurial & git.) Also whether you choose hg or git you might want to have an official mirror in the other system... So users can just use the system they want to. Best of luck, Jason

Please advise: Boost with LLVM Clang and 0x11 dialect ?
by John M. Dlugosz 21 Mar '12

21 Mar '12

Can someone please advise on how to get Boost headers to work when compiling using Clang (as found on Apple OSX/iOS development) when the 0x11 dialect is enabled? We're stuck at Boost 1.47 because 1.48 doesn't even work with the current settings (C++03 dialect). The Mac developers don't want to fiddle with 1.49 without knowing what the deal is. Is there someone who has used Boost on the Apple with Clang who can relate some tales of how it works and offer suggestions? I've had no luck on the Boost.Users mailing list, or a previous post here on Boost.Devel. Is there anyplace else I might ask? At this point, any scrap of wisdom would be appreciated. —John

Graph properties and GraphML
by Arthur Castonguay 21 Mar '12

21 Mar '12

I'm using 1.49.0 and am attempting to read a GraphML file that has graph attributes on it (example file below). My test program is below too. I've run into two issues. 1. The GraphML reader didn't quite handle them. There was some facilities put in place but it was never glued together. I added some code (patch below) and now it appears that that will do what I want... I'm getting "property not found" exception now. Great... onto item 2. 2. I cannot seem to wire the graph property into the dynamic properties. I've used the same syntax used for node and edge properties: props.property("gattr", get(&GraphProperty::gattr, g)); I've search examples and cannot find an instance of this to see if graph properties are handled differently. It's possible I've just written bad code for #2. I'm still working through the adjacency_list code to see if I can grok what's going on. Figured maybe someone more familiar with this could find the issue quickly. Once functionaly, I'll report a bug regarding item #1 but I want to ensure the writing of the GraphML works as well before doing that (the code appears to write graph attributes.. can't test yet due to item #2).

[lambda] Can't get simple lambda working...

21 Mar '12

Here is a basic function I have: bool MimeDocument::GetExistingAttachment( std::string const& filename, std::vector<MessageAttachment> const& attachments, MessageAttachment& attachment ) { using namespace boost::lambda; using boost::lambda::_1; std::vector<MessageAttachment>::const_iterator it = std::find_if( attachments.begin(), attachments.end(), bind( &MessageAttachment::name, _1 ) == filename ); if( it != attachments.end() ) { attachment = *it; return true; } return false; } MessageAttachment::name() has 2 overloads, one that takes 1 parameter and the other that takes no parameter. I'm attempting to call the version that accepts no parameters and returns a "char const*". I want to then compare this value to the local variable "filename". This should happen for each object in the vector (_1). I get various types of compiler errors on MSVC9.

For what it’s worth, here is a series of articles that sold me on DVCS (and Mercurial in particular, though that’s neither here nor there) after spending quite some time wondering whether to bother: <http://hginit.com/> It’s a typically breezy Joel Spolsky piece, but it does cover use cases nicely.

[CRC][VC++] Can someone debug this?
by Daryle Walker 20 Mar '12

20 Mar '12

Are we still preparing for a release? If not (or afterwards), could someone check why the trunk's version of Boost.CRC, with more Boost.MPL usage, is choking on all versions of Visual C++. Only the latest version gives a specific error; previous versions just dump out. Daryle W.

BOOST_PP_ITERATE for huge mpl and fusion
by Hite, Christopher 20 Mar '12

20 Mar '12

"Not to 50!!!" - Princess Bride Things like mpl::vector and fusion::map have a configured limit like BOOST_MPL_LIMIT_VECTOR_SIZE. The documentation is dodgy and doesn't mention that while it is configurable you can't really configure it to be more than 50. Many people have stumbled here: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/msm-Boost-MPL-vector-limit-size-exceeded… http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2004/08/70900.php http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.user/55679 http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2010/09/170443.php Appearantly there are some scripts to generate these headers, but they may not work anymore. I had to rush hack things in my code to make several containers go over 50 in one compilation scope. #define ULTIMATE_N 70 #include <boost/mpl/vector/vector50.hpp> namespace boost { namespace mpl { # define BOOST_PP_ITERATION_PARAMS_1 \ (3,(51, ULTIMATE_N, <boost/mpl/vector/aux_/numbered.hpp>)) # include BOOST_PP_ITERATE() }} I'd really like to fix this in boost. AFAICT all I have to do is find all *50.hpp files and replace the 50 with the appropriate config limit. I count 74 instances of this stuff going on! Mostly it's phoenix, mpl, and fusion. So to wrap it up my questions are: 1) Do the scripts still work? Does anyone use them? Are they regularly tested? 2) Does anyone see a problem with my simple fix? Chris

Possible bug in libs/context/src/asm/fcontext_ppc64_sysv_elf_gas.S
by Jeremiah Willcock 20 Mar '12

20 Mar '12

This code refers to registers r40 and r41 in several places; I think those should be r30 and r31. There are also many typos in the comments in that source file. -- Jeremiah Willcock

[mpl] +[fusion] + [phoenix] undocumented hard-coded limit=50
by Hite, Christopher 20 Mar '12

20 Mar '12

This is a re-post of " [boost] BOOST_PP_ITERATE for huge mpl and fusion". I think problem may be that I didn't target a particular library because it happens in three. There is an undocumented hard-coded limit of 50 in MPL, Fusion, and Phoenix. I count two impls 1) has 20 elements all generated boost_1_49_0/boost/mpl/aux_/preprocessed/gcc/vector.hpp 2) stops at 50 boost_1_49_0/boost/mpl/vector/vector50.hpp I don't know if there's a way to generate more. Probably you need python. If that's the case, IMHO this should be documented so users can do it. This doesn't work: #define BOOST_MPL_CFG_NO_PREPROCESSED_HEADERS #define BOOST_MPL_LIMIT_VECTOR_SIZE 60 #include <boost/mpl/vector.hpp> boost_1_49_0/boost/mpl/vector.hpp:36:73: fatal error: boost/mpl/vector/vector60.hpp: No such file or directory Can someone please help. I've upgraded my copy of boost. I've tried figuring out how these headers work. I'm pretty sure I could fix it if I really had to by replacing the 50 in the last file with the *_SIZE. I have this ugly hack in my code to keep things working. Would someone please help?!? Acknowledging the problem would be a start. Chris

[xpressive] Does '_' match newlines?
by Robert Dailey 19 Mar '12

19 Mar '12

I have the following static regex: sregex filename_re = icase("Content-Disposition:") >> -*_ >> "filename=" >> (s2=-+_) >> ';' ; I want the "*_" part to also match newline characters. I didn't see any flag to turn this on or off. Is this on by default? I see boost::xpressive::regex_constants::syntax_option_type::not_dot_newline, but not sure where you would (or wouldn't) specify this. I only recall the ability to specify flags for a regex when you compile a dynamic regex, not a static one. Help is appreciated! --------- Robert Dailey

new Overload library version
by Marco Cecchetti 19 Mar '12

19 Mar '12

Hi everyone! I noticed that an overloaded function utility has appeared under boost/functional as a spin-off of Camiti's Boost.Local library. Indeed on 2007 I had begun implementing something similar. All started from a Joel de Guzman's post where he showed a proof of concept of a thin-wrapper of several Boost.Functions. See: http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2007/09/127906.php On that code base, I designed Overload, a small library whose interface matches as much as possible Boost.Function interface. Some documentation was written down thanks to the help and support of Dean M. Berris. Due to lack of time and the small amount of use cases I stopped spending my time on such a project. Anyway lately I have been working on the Overload library again. I have performed a light re-design of the interface, added a few new features and a lot of more testing, finally I've got to improve documentation. I uploaded the new version on the sandbox. In case you are interested these are the links: - library: http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/overload/trunk/ - documentation: http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/overload/trunk/libs/overload/docs/ht… Please don't reply to me about the not so proper library name, I could change it but it is a secondary issue.

[chrono] [thread] Test names too long
by Steven Watanabe 19 Mar '12

19 Mar '12

AMDG When I try to run the tests for Boost.Thread or Boost.Chrono I get an error like: failed to write output file '..\bin.v2\libs\chrono\test\basic_stopwatch_reporter _laps_accumulator_set_pass_shared.test\msvc-10.0express\debug\asynch-exceptions- on\threading-multi\stopwatch\basic_stopwatch_reporter_laps_accumulator_set_pass. obj.rsp'! Could the names possibly be made shorter? I can get it to build using --hash, but they're still rather long. In Christ, Steven Watanabe

Hi, Any progress on these tickets? Would be nice to have a solution. size() return type should be size_type, not difference_type: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/5971 data() for iterator_range: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/5930 Greetings, -- Olaf

GSoC Proposal
by Subrata Biswas 18 Mar '12

18 Mar '12

Dear Sir/Madam, I want to design a new IPC for Linux(Which can be extended for windows and mac also) as a project in Google Summer of Code. I have already started it and developed its very basic prototype. I have also written the proposal according to your format. But I could not find the email id where I can send my proposal. I have used your irc but hardly anyone were available there. Can u kindly provide me the links where I can send my project proposal and direcly interact with the mentors. I hope my "Smart IPC" may enrich the smart boost c++ libraries towards smarter c++ libraries. -- Thanking You, Regards Subrata Biswas MTech (pursuing) Computer Science and Engineering Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee Mob: +91 7417474559
