Boost.Algorithms organization question
by Marshall Clow 14 Dec '11

14 Dec '11

So, while I'm waiting for my review result, I've been implementing the new algorithms that were to the standard library for C++11 (at least the ones that don't require the new language features) They are: all_of any_of none_of find_if_not copy_if copy_n is_partitioned partition_point is_sorted is_sorted_until minmax -- this one is already in boost minmax_element -- this one is already in boost, but doesn't satisfy the C++11 performance gaurantees iota (and, of course, Boost.Range versions wherever appropriate) I have not done: shuffle -- requires rvalue references random_shuffle -- requires rvalue references move -- already in Boost.Move; maybe just a forwarding header file? move_backward -- already in Boost.Move; maybe just a forwarding header file? Anyway - my question is: Should these all go into a "c++11" subdirectory? If so, should I create a "c++11.hpp" header file that includes all of them, so that users can just #include <boost/algorithm/C++11.hpp> and get all the C++11 algorithms? Alternately, should they just live in boost/algorithm ? -- Marshall

My thanks to you and to the Boost community for clarifying two process questions I had during the review: 1) How to count votes-- not just yes vs. no but it's up to the review manager how to count and weight votes. 2) Should active authors' opinion count more-- yes if the review manager decides so. These points make sense to me. > "Yes" reviews (7) > -------- > Krzysztof Czainski > Andrzej Krzemienski > Pierre Morcello > Nat Lindon > John Bytheway > Edward Diener > Gregory Crosswhite > > "No" reviews (3) > -------- > Vicente J.

I will add void and this_ to ScopeExit (keeping it's compatibility with C++11 lambda style binding) and remove local exits from my library. (I will add a note to my library docs on how to use local function to easily implement scope exits with constant binding-- rarely needed.) > Regarding local::function::overload: Based on the review comments, it makes > the most sense to add this to Boost.Functional.

Two personal reflections from this experience: 1) I should have studied Phoenix more before the review started.

This comment was in the context of getting more participation to the reviews. I thought the comment made sense (it was "fair") so I participated to 3 reviews before my library was reviewed. I have to say that such experience really helped me during the review of my library. I don't know if it'd make sense to make "participating to 3 reviews" a requirement for a library submission... maybe a requirement that can be waived only by the review wizards. > Finally, really big thanks to everyone for participating in the review and > ancillary discussions.

[Serialization] (Commented) assertion when using types in multiple DLLs on Windows (Ticket #3934 and #4394)
by Martin B. 14 Dec '11

14 Dec '11

[Serialization] (Commented) assertion when using types in multiple DLLs on Windows (Ticket #3934 and #4394) ----------------------------------- ## Problem: We were using boost serialization in a DLL that is "statically" loaded into our main application. We are using Boost 1.44 and the serialization library as a DLL. (boost_serialization-vc80-mt-gd-1_44.dll) Now, the serialized types that we are using in this DLL have also been pulled into the main application -- that is, the .h+.cpp files of these types are included and linked in the exe as well as in the DLL project. (But the types are used independently in the exe and the dll module.) In Boost 1.44 this leads to a runtime assertion in void_cast.cpp[1_44_0, line 230]. ## Investigation: Since this code is in the function called void_caster::recursive_register I *assume* that this is the point where the types registered for serialization are registered with the library. I have found that this runtime assert was commented out in release 1.45 and all subsequent versions: std::pair<void_cast_detail::set_type::const_iterator, bool> result; // comment this out for now. result = s.insert(this); //assert(result.second); *Apparently* this was done in response to trac ticket #4394[1], at least judging from the comment Robert Ramey added to the ticket: > For now I'm going to comment out the assert. > When I have time, I'll likely re-enable it with a way to override it. I can only assume that ticket #3934[2] refers to the same or a similar problem. ## Issue with the conclusion in #4394 Robert writes in his comment: > The problem is that the way the code is structured, > you'll have multiple instances of some functions. > The best way would be eliminate the source of the > problem by structuring code like this: > ... > and he proposes to move the `template<class Archive> void serialize` function of the classes from the header file into the cpp file. However, *our* code already does this, and we get this assertion regardless. The reason I suspect is that both the main module code as well as the DLL module code are calling into the recursive_register function to register the type, and since the code for the class is (identically) duplicated in the DLL as well as in the executable, obviously it is registered twice. ## Question: Am I correct? So, the first question obviously is whether I'm correct in my analysis. I.e., the `assert(result.second);`that is currently commented out can *never* work properly for types that live in two modules (DLLs) in the same process and Boost:serialization is used as DLL. ## Question: Any harm done? Secondly, is there any adverse effect of a type being registered twice with the serialization DLL? What will happen on unload? Is it possible the type is unloaded too early because of this setup? Note: What about accidentally identical type keys for actually different types in different DLLs? ## Question: Solutions? What is a proper solution? Should we use dllexport types, so that the type is only registered once per process? What else? Robert, I hope you can chime in on this. I'll try to add a link to this mail to the trac issue #4394. cheers, Martin [1] : https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4394 [2] : https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/3934

[Boost] Is there any interest in min-max heap and bounded priority queue implementations?
by Andrea Sansottera 14 Dec '11

14 Dec '11

Dear Boost developers and users, I have implemented the min-max heap<http://www.akira.ruc.dk/~keld/teaching/algoritmedesign_f03/Artikler/02/Atki…> algorithms and a bounded priority queue container adapter. I was wondering if anyone is interested in including this code in Boost. I have made the code <https://www.assembla.com/code/sway-1/subversion/nodes/trunk>available here, under the BSD license (I might switch to the Boost license if needed). For those not familiar with min-max heaps, a min-max heap is an implicit data structure that can be build in linear time and provides constant time access to both the minimum and maximum elements. Other operations require logarithmic time. Hence, they allow the efficient implementation of double ended priority queues. My min-max heap implementation is designed similarly to the STL heap algorithms and consists of the following template functions: make_minmaxheap, push_minmaxheap, popmin_minmaxheap, popmax_minmaxheap. The bounded priority queue container adapter is built on top of the min-max heap algorithms and its interface is similar to the STL priority_queue. The methods of the bounded_priority_queue template class are: push, top, bottom, pop_top, pop_bottom, size, max_size, empty. The template arguments are the item type, the container type and the compare functor. The code compiles and works correctly with the GNU, Intel, Clang and Microsoft compilers. I have unit tests based on Boost.Test. Any feedback would be appreciated. Regards, Andrea Sansottera

Proposal for a Differential Evolution C++ library
by Adrian Michel 14 Dec '11

14 Dec '11

Hello everybody, Would there be interest in a C++ Differential Evolution optimization (DE) library as part of boost? The library is functional but hasn't been made public yet. The full documentation is at http://www.amichel.com/de/doc/html but I'd suggest these pages for a first read http://www.amichel.com/de/doc/html/dd/d53/overview.html and http://www.amichel.com/de/doc/html/db/d4e/tutorial.html . The zip containing the DE C++ library and helper files is at http://www.amichel.com/de/de.zip. The DE main page is at http://www.icsi.berkeley.edu/~storn/code.html . Thanks, Adrian Michel

Error in docs or code when trying zero unit tests
by Daryle Walker 14 Dec '11

14 Dec '11

[Woah, Hotmail's Web interface doesn't do unformatted mail; it implements it as formatted mail surrounded by <pre> tags and hex-conversion to almost all the punctuation!] When I tried the example on <http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/libs/test/doc/html/tutorials/new-year-…>: //===#define BOOST_TEST_MODULE const_string test#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>//=== Instead of getting: //===*** No errors detected//=== I got: //===[Session started at 2011-12-11 18:18:15 -0500.]Test setup error: test tree is empty CRC Unit Test has exited with status 200.//=== (The first and last lines are from my compiler's IDE.) Either the docs are wrong claiming that an empty test program is OK, or the code is wrong for choking when running with zero unit tests. It's probably the former but I personally prefer the latter to be fixed instead.

Boost Interchange / Carbon
by Tom Sanham 13 Dec '11

13 Dec '11

Hello I am new to this list. I wonder if someone can help me: Is it possible to use XCode on OS X 10.7 to build a .dylib which depends on Boost Interchange library (which we need to be statically linked), for Carbon? The reason I ask is that: when XCode version >=4.2, Carbon is (apparently) no longer supported, but Boost Interchange Library compiles successfully. when XCode version <4.2, Carbon is supported, but Boost Interchange library cannot compile (due to an compiler error involving the handling of Templates, where it appears the library employs a mechanism supported only in the later XCode versions). Is it possible to achieve this? Could somebody offer some pointers? Thank you in advance Tom

Interested in bounded buffer class for threaded producer/consumer communication?
by André Offringa 13 Dec '11

13 Dec '11

Hi all, I seem to have come across a producer/consumer situation a few times now, and everytime I do, I seem to want a slightly different functionality for a bounded buffer-kind of class that is not generally provided. I am looking for such a class that is also efficient for large amounts of data, and so I wonder if there does already exists a class in boost to efficiently push work between producers and consumers when they are running in different threads, i.e., that is thread safe. Asio seems to have a lot of communicating mechanisms, but I did not yet come across such a mechanism (pipe/channel/lane/unidirectional stream/bounded buffer... I'll call it a 'lane' for now) between two threads. If it does not exist yet in boost, I wonder if there is a general interest for such a class. The situation, is that - one or more threads produce data 'packages' of some type T, until the buffer is full. - one or more other threads have to wait for the availability of these packages, and once available, get one and process them. Googling around there are numerous suggestions (e.g. blog entries) for an implementation of thread safe queues that synchronize writing/reading and wake readers when data is available. However, I think there are fewer implementations that both use a circular buffer and will also block the producer when the buffer is 'full', and even less that are efficient for large amounts of data. Typical examples for this situation occur in signal processing. For example, it could be that one thread reads packets of work from the hard disk or some other device, write it to the lane-object, while one or a few different other threads try to read packets from the lane-object for processing. In a particular case, I had a consumer which needed a certain amount of packets at a time. The lane holds a (circular) buffer of a given size, and if it is full, producing threads will be blocked. Consuming threads will be blocked if the buffer is empty. There is a bounded_buffer example given to implement such a thing with the circular buffer. It does exactly what I suggest, but I assume it is not so efficient for pushing large amounts of data over, as each individual object requires a push, thus a lock if implemented as in bounded_buffer, and involves unnecessary updates of the counters (involving a decrement() each time) on each push, which is not necessary if you know you are pushing a number of elements at once. I assume this could be fixed by wrapping the insert(range) method instead of the individual push functions. What I found most useful however, is when the 'main' interface of such a class consists of these methods: template<typename T> class lane { public: lane(size_t capacity); void write(const T& element); // (or push if you wish) void write(const T* elements, size_t n); // or as a data range void write_end(); bool read(const T& element); // false if write_end() has been called and empty() size_t read(const T* elements, size_t n); // returns n, unless write_end() has been called and is empty() size(), empty(), etc. } ..and that's basically how I implemented it right now. The lane is just like the circular buffer in boost, and owns the elements, and thus copies the data once on write to its own buffer and once on read. The write_end() method will change the state of the lane, such that blocked reading threads will no longer be blocked, i.e., it assumes the producer(s) is finished and the consumer should finish as well after the last data has been read. No element ever gets overwritten before being read. In my case I never needed it to be an actually "real" container, thus valid iterators and begin() and end()'s are not necessary. With such a class, setting up an efficient multi-threaded consumer/producer scenario, that can be easily end by either the producer or yet another separate (e.g., user interface) thread, is really easy. As said, especially in signal processing application (why it is somewhat low-leveler), this kind of class is very nice to have. I guess there are many flavours of such a 'lane', e.g. with deque's or circular_buffers, with or without owning data, with or without bounding the producer and with or without providing efficient large data pushers. In my case, the above interface seemed to have been the solution a few times, but I don't know how common it really is. So, I'm curious if this problem frequently arises, if it's solved already and/or if there would be interest in such a class. Regards, André Offringa

[review] [Local] Review Result - ACCEPTED
by Jeffrey Lee Hellrung, Jr. 13 Dec '11

13 Dec '11

Local is ACCEPTED into Boost. After following the lively Local review discussion several weeks ago, and reviewing the discussion a second (and sometimes third) time, I have come to the above conclusion. There was quite a bit of passion on both the sides of "aisle", and thus, obviously, no decision I make would be well-received by all. Let me start by summarizing the main arguments against including Local in Boost: (a) Local functions are not very useful, at least in the presence of existing alternatives (e.g., namespace functions and Boost.Phoenix). (b) Local is really a portability library for C++03 presenting an imperfect emulation of features readily available in C++11. (c) Local's interface is primarily macro-based, making code ugly and difficult to read. In my opinion as the review manager, a sufficient number of individuals in the discussion found the library "useful" to address (a) (sometimes with additional positive adverbs); indeed, at least a couple individuals have shared positive experiences with real-world use. Namespace functions require one to move code to somewhere other than where one may prefer to have it, and often requires a significant amount of boilerplate when binding local variables. Aside from any perceived issues with Boost.Phoenix's syntax and compiler error messages, it has been noted that binding member functions within Boost.Phoenix can get ugly. As far as (b) is concerned, the community seems pretty far from reaching a consensus on whether a library described by (b) belongs in Boost. There are certainly libraries currently in Boost that could be pegged to satisfy (b) as well, though they all have other mitigating features they make their situation different from Local in some way. As far as (c) is concerned, several have acknowledged that a macro-based interface is necessary to implement local functions in C++03, and it seems to have been generally agreed that, given this limitation, Lorenzo has done an admireable job making the interface as easy-to-use as possible. Some find it ugly, others find it reasonable. In addition to the counterarguments of (a-c) above, the following facts weighed into my final decision: * Lorenzo has been engaging and in constant communication with the developer's list during the development of Local. This gives me confidence that he will continue to actively maintain (and improve?) Local. * The documentation is unanimously agreed to be of Boost quality. * The transition of some organizations from C++03 to C++11 may take several more years, and Boost has a history of supporting "ancient" compilers (for better or worse). The point being, a library that eases the transition from C++03 to C++11 has some merit based on current precedent. * There had been previous work on local functions by Alexander Nasanov and Steven Watanabe shared on the developer's list, suggesting a desire for this functionality for some time. * Local is approximately an extension of Boost.ScopeExit; indeed, it basically fulfills the request to Alexander Nasanov from the review result [2] of Boost.ScopeExit to create such an extension. Lastly, my own opinion of "what Boost is" factored in here. I view Boost as *partly* a collection of general purpose libraries that can be used in wide variety of applications (and thus Boost frequently acts as a staging ground for standard adoption). Based on review feedback, I believe Local satisfies this criterion; and based on the mailing list discussion, I believe this view of Boost is not entirely inconsistent with others on the mailing list. Ultimately, it wasn't so much a # of "yes" votes versus # of "no" votes as it was the above general considerations. Regardless, I think independent of how the votes were counted, the "yes" votes outnumbered the "no" votes. This required some discretion on my part as not everyone who expressed an opinion submitted a formal review, and some participants were only arguing in favor of some specific point supporting either acceptance or rejection of Local. "Yes" reviews (7) -------- Krzysztof Czainski Andrzej Krzemienski Pierre Morcello Nat Lindon John Bytheway Edward Diener Gregory Crosswhite "No" reviews (3) -------- Vicente J. Botet Thomas Heller Hartmut Kaiser Paul A. Bristow and Alexander Nasanov (the author of Boost.ScopeExit) both submitted reviews but did not express an opinion (as far as I could tell) on whether Local should be included in Boost, though if I had to peg Paul's, it would be to reject Local. From what I gathered, Joel de Guzman, Joel Falcou, Dean Michael Berris, and Lucanus J. Simonson were opposed to including Local in Boost (the aforementioned did not submit a formal review, though a formal review might be unnecessary if your vote is "no"). On the other hand, Brian Wood, Philippe Vaucher, Mathias Gaunard, Robert Ramey, Nathan Ridge, Brent Spillner, Thomas Klimpel, Christopher Jefferson, Daniel James, Rafael Fourquet, Matthias Schabel, and Robert Stewart participated in the discussion and argued in favor of some point that supported accepting Local in Boost. I want to be clear here that certainly not everyone in the aforementioned list even implied that they supported acceptance of Local (I would guess that only roughly half implied as much), but they indirectly helped its case by addressing arguments against inclusion. Overall, that indicates to me that more individuals support acceptance of Local into Boost than rejection. [Apologies for any name misspellings and absent accents.] Regarding Boost.ScopeExit: 4 reviews were in favor of deprecating Boost.ScopeExit; 3 reviews felt there was nothing wrong with both Boost.ScopeExit and Local coexisting; and 3 reviews mentioned the possibility of improving Boost.ScopeExit with the features provided by Local's exits. As such I'm inclined to let Alexander (who opposed any kind of merging of Local and Boost.ScopeExit) work with Lorenzo on improving Boost.ScopeExit as he sees fit, and hopefully both libraries can address this apparent duplication of functionality within their respective documentation to avoid user confusion. Regarding local::function::overload: Based on the review comments, it makes the most sense to add this to Boost.Functional. Regarding BOOST_IDENTITY_TYPE: This should be added to Boost.Utility. On the other hand, there doesn't appear to be a compelling use case for BOOST_IDENTITY_VALUE. The following are some suggested *possible* improvements that reviewers brought up. This list is by no means exhaustive. Further, I personally don't think all of these suggestions are necessarily "good", but I think it's fair for Lorenzo (and the community) to consider them nonetheless. Parenthetic comments are my own opinions. * Some aren't convinced of the utility of LOCAL_BLOCK. (It's use cases appear fairly narrow so it might be best to simplify the library and remove this capability.) * Use "this_" (as opposed to "_this") as an alias for "this" within function bodies, and possibly also within bind declarations. * Present Boost.PP sequence interface as a workaround for the variadic interface? (I don't have a problem with supporting both interfaces at the top level.) * "Local" and "Locale" look too much alike, suggesting a name change to "Scope", "Scoped", "LocalFunction", "Closure" may be a good idea? * Allow use without dependence on Boost.TypeOf. * Rename prefix and postfix macros from XXX_PARAMS/XXX_NAME to XXX/XXX_END? (I don't mind the current macros.) * Explicitly separate bound variables from function parameters. (I think this suggestion has merit but I don't know what the interface could look like.) * Remove support for default parameters to simplify interface and documentation? (It doesn't seem like default function parameters would be very useful.) * Use "capture" instead of "bind" for the bind/capture keyword? (I like and prefer "bind".) Finally, here the links to the submitted formal reviews, for reference. Of particular note are Krzysztof's and John's reviews for their comments on the documentation. Some "yes" votes were conditional, but AFAIK Lorenzo has already agreed to address the relevant conditions. Krzysztof Czainski http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/225543 Vicente J.

[test, parameter, fusion] en/disable_if name clash in trunk
by Tim Blechmann 13 Dec '11

13 Dec '11

it seems that the new boost::unit_test::decorator::enable_if, introduced in [1] clashes with boost::enable_if under certain circumstances. this currently breaks the boost.heap testsuite (see [2]). maybe the test/parameter/fusion maintainers could discuss, how that can be resolved? thanks, tim [1] https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/74663 [2] http://www.boost.org/development/tests/trunk/developer/heap.html

Question regarding parallel boost graph library status
by Delalondre Fabien Jonathan 13 Dec '11

13 Dec '11

Hi, I would like to use the parallel boost graph library for projects I am working on and was wondering whether I could get an update on its development. I am for example wondering: 1) Whether this is still an projet under active development and how many people are working on it. 2) What the status of the mpi/threading implementation is. 3) What are the machines on which the implementation has been tested (and on how many processors). I am interested in using it on HPC machines such as Cray and IBM which includes more than 100k processors. Thank you, Fabien Delalondre

Use constexpr with BOOST_STATIC_CONSTANT?
by Daryle Walker 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

Should BOOST_STATIC_CONSTANT be changed to add the C++11 "constexpr" attribute, if it's defined? I guess we would need a preprocessor flag to check if constexpr is available.

[regex] compilation warnings questions by a newbee
by Rai, Neeraj 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

Hi All, Reposting this based on feedback from Beman. I get the same error with latest boost. I earlier posted this to user group and atleast one user confirmed (s)he was getting the same error with newer version and not getting any error with older one. It is a simple program (just declares regex). Pls advise. Thx Neeraj _____________________________________________ From: Rai, Neeraj [ICG-MKTS] Sent: Friday, December 09, 2011 1:29 PM To: 'boost(a)lists.boost.org' Subject: [boost-dev] compilation warnings questions by a newbee Hi, I am writing my first boost program and having trouble with the compiler warning against boost 1.44.0. Is there any way to get rid of those warnings so I can focus on real warnings in my code ? This seems to happen with newer version of g++ : tried 4.4.5 and 4.6 The gist of warning is : boost_1_44_0/include/boost/mpl/aux_/integral_wrapper.hpp:73:96: warning: the result of the conversion is unspecified because '-0x00000000000000001' is outside the range of type 'boost::numeric::udt_builtin_mixture_enum' [-Wconversion] Any help or pointers are appreciated. Neeraj ====== The following program is a cut down version of my code, just declares sregex #include <iostream> #include <boost/xpressive/xpressive.hpp> int main (int _argc, const char** _argv) { std::cout << "argc=" << _argc << " argv=" << _argv << std::endl; using namespace boost::xpressive; std::string keyword(""); sregex const re(sregex::compile(keyword, sregex::icase)); } ====== The

A demonstration of why horrendous error messages can destroy usability
by Gregory Crosswhite 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

At the unfortunate risk of reopening a poisonous argument, I just wanted to relate an experience I had just earlier today to emphasize a point that I and others tried to make a couple of weeks ago. For the last couple of days I have been trying to get Digikam to compile on my machine using MacPorts. Getting software written for Linux to compile on OSX is always a bit of a black art, so I wasn't surprised when I started running into hurdles. The first problem that I ran into was that I had set Python 3.1 to be my default rather than Python 2.7, which screwed up the libplist CMake configuration script; fortunately, although I had to scratch my head for a few minutes, it was clear roughly where the error was taking place and that gave me enough information to eventually figure out where the problem was. I also went ahead and filed a bug report to MacPorts to let them know about this problem. After that it was smooth sailing until I got to the final package, Digikam itself. Unfortunately, it refuses to build. Why is that? For reasons that apparently took an overwhelming *56 kilobytes of error message* to explain. (See attached, if you dare. ) Now, you could argue that this is the fault of the compiler for not being more helpful, the fault of Digikam for using deprecated methods, the fault of MacPorts for creating a bad environment for configuration, or whatever else you want. You could also argue that were I familiar with Boost and/or the Digikam codebase then the implication of this message would be obvious --- heck, maybe it even *is* obvious to many of the people here. All of this is beside the point, though. I am not an expert in any of these codebases and I really don't care whether it is ultimately the fault of Boost, Digikam, Qt, MacPorts, or the compiler for producing such horrendous error messages. All that matters to me is that these pages of error messages are so overwhelming that they make it very difficult for me to get any sense at all of what kind of thing is going wrong so that I can track down what needs to be done to fix it. Furthermore, the error message is such a mess that it is hard for me to even *motivate* myself to *want* to go through it to figure out where is going on, and seeing the impact that this kind of thing can have on end users really turns me off a bit from the idea of continuing to use Boost libraries in my projects in the future. That is to say, I had heard people in the past say that they actively avoid Boost (and sometimes even C++) because of the way they introduced nasty complexities (like horrible error messages), and I used to (politely :-) ) scoff at them because I figured that they were overstating the problems in practice. Now however, having experienced these problems from the viewpoint of a casual user who just wants to get some darn code to compile so that I can run a program I wanted to try out, I can really appreciate their point. To be perfectly clear, I am not saying that this has made me never want to use Boost again, for I really hate rolling out my own code to solve a problem when somebody else has already developed and tested a solution for me. :-) My point is exactly and *only* the following: horrendous error messages are a *big deal* with a *serious impact* on usability not only for the developers using a library, but for end-users who want to compiler and use the software being developed. Most people here fortunately already seem to recognize this, but I have been truly shocked to hear so many arguments that horrendous error messages are *not* a serious problem, either because they are someone else's fault, because they only occur when the code is wrong, or --- worst of all --- because it is ultimately the fault of the user for being ignorant or lazy when he or she cannot quickly figure out what the problem causing the message was. So I just wanted to share this anecdote to provide a real-world example where horrendous error messages have added an incredible cost for a relatively technically experienced end-user to actually use a particular piece of software. And once more, I am sorry to bring this tired point up again, it's just that the experience I had today really reminded me just how frustrating these kinds of error messages can be, and the absurdity of denying that this is in any way a problem. I feel very strongly that the ultimate goal of writing software is not merely to push the boundaries of what we can do but to provide people with tools that make their lives easier. Horrendous error messages, even when there is no better design to accomplish a particular task (in C++, at least), are *really bad things* and should *not* be dismissed as something not worth fussing about, *especially* when fault is then placed on the *user* (as in some cases it sadly seemed to be) for being too ignorant or lazy to be willing to go to the trouble to decipher them. I am not claiming to know what the solution is to these kinds of issues, and in many cases there might not even be better solutions given the current design of C++. I was just very concerned to see that in the eyes of many the presence of such error messages are not considered in any way to be a problem (*) with a library, and to hear it claims that if anything users turned off by horrendous messages are simply being lazy by not just sucking them up for the good of the cause. Cheers, Greg (*) And let me be clear that by "problem" here I really do mean "less than ideal circumstance" rather than "flaw", because in many cases these libraries are very elegantly designed codes which are probably close to the optimal solution given the limits imposed by the C++ language.

I personally got interested in DE while doing some research in the area of algorithmic trading system optimization. But DE is generic - it can be used to optimize any function that would otherwise be very hard or impossible to optimize using more traditional methods. DE is used in many areas, some of which are listed here: http://www.icsi.berkeley.edu/~storn/code.html#appl and here: http://www.icsi.berkeley.edu/~storn/code.html#comm or to summarize: chemistry, electronics, physics, agriculture, telecommunications etc. > I'm having trouble calibrating - is your library > primarily aimed at research and academic problems or is it an everyday > tool for use in a broad spectrum of organizations? > I believe the answer is "both". > * Who is the library aimed at?

The de_test application illustrates this usage mode: the user can implement a de::objective_function derived class with their own function to optimize, and then build and run the application to get the best output. However, those interested in tweaking its behavior, can create their own policy classes and override the defaults. One of the obvious advantage of a standardized DE library is that these customized components could then be shared with the community at large. BTW, DE has the added benefit of not having been patented by its authors, for the very purpose of making it widely available. Thanks, Adrian Michel

I was able to implement the basic functionality in a matter of hours (Boost.Move is very easy to use). Unfortunately, I have been having trouble "Boostifying" the code, as I am unfamiliar with the reasons for many of the workarounds in the existing code (I am worried about causing regressions in these).

update from 1_44 to 1_48: build questions
by Oliver Kullmann 11 Dec '11

11 Dec '11

Hello, we want to update from 1_44_0 to 1_48_0. Our old build-process is as follows (for Linux): 1. cd tools/jam/src 2. CC="$(gcc_call)" CFLAGS="-fno-strict-aliasing" ./build.sh cc 3. cp bin.*/bjam $(boost_base_build_dir) 4. cd ../../.. 5. echo "using gcc : $(gcc_version) : $(gcc_call) : ;" > $(boost_base_build_dir)/bjam_config 6. $(boost_base_build_dir)/bjam --user-config=$(boost_base_build_dir)/bjam_config --prefix=$(boost_installation_dir) --build-dir=$(boost_build_dir) install --without-python --without-wave --without-mpi -sBZIP2_INCLUDE=$(bzip2_source_library) -sBZIP2_LIBPATH=$(bzip2_link_library) It seems that "b2" is (just) bjam? However it is not really clear from the documentation how to build (and use) bjam (apparently via boostrap?)? And then apparently some of the above parameters of bjam, for example prefix, are now parameters of bootstrap? We would be glad if somebody could tell us (or some link) how to update the above process. Thanks in any case for your consideration. Oliver

[chrono] i/o to locale or not to locale
by Vicente J. Botet Escriba 10 Dec '11

10 Dec '11

Hi all, currently Chrono provides a limited localization interface for duration and time_point I/O that is not satisfactory. The current implementation Boost.Chrono V1.2 (Boost 1.48) is based on the alternative A1 (see below) in which the hour,minute,second and the epoch can be localized. This could give the impression that chrono i/o is localized, but as Aryton as signaled it is not enough. I'm working on redesigning the chrono i/o in order to make a proposal with Howard Hinnant to the C++ committee. Two main alternatives A1- follow the formatting of recognized international body as ISO. A2- Add localization of specific units and epoch to the preceding format. It seems that the localized alternative seems to have less chances to be adopted, as no other library in the standard is providing these kind of facilities, and locale message facility is not completely satisfying. Things could change if we had a concrete proposal for improving the standard locale library (in which Aryton seems to be working IUC). More detail on the two alternatives: A1- Provide formatted i/o following the ISO 80000 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_80000, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_31-1, The format for duration could be <value> <unit> With unit been day, hour, minute, second, decisecond, centisecond, ..., decasecond, hectosecond, ... Note that the unit is always in singular form and in English. Next follows several valid inputs for duration 3 day 9 hour 1 second 0 second -1 second 3.77 millisecond 34 [1/30]second time_points could be formatted as <duration> <since epoch> where <since epoch> is a string that identifies the starting point of the epoch's clock, e.g. since boot, since process startup, .... The string associated to each clock are fixed and configurable specializing the trait clock_string Next follows several valid inputs for time_point. 123456 second since boot A1.a We can also consider ISO 8601. IMO, an acceptable format for durations could be a variation of the extended format independently of the date. <hours>:<minutes>:<seconds>[.fractional_seconds] Note that <hours> here is not limited to 24, and gives the total number of hours. A1.b An additional alternative could be to represent a duration as following a variant of the period representation: P[n]Y[n]M[n]DT[n]H[n]M[n]S in which the year and month are represented by days. E.g. P[n]DT[n]H[n]M[n]S[n]F P1234DT12H30M5S555F A2 - Make durations and time point i/o locale dependent. Based on the previous alternative, add the possibility to add specific locale facets that could format a duration following the pattern <value> <unit> <unit> <value> <hours><:><minutes><:><seconds>[<.>fractional_seconds] Here <value> and <unit> will be formatted following the specific locale and in this case the unit could have specific plural forms. For example in French the user could specialize the facets so that she could get 1 jour 3 jours 9 heures 1 seconde 0 secondes -1 seconde 3.77 milliseconds 34 [1/30] de seconde and in Spanish 1 segundo 0 segundo -1 segundo Add the possibility to add specific locale facets that could format a time_point following the pattern <duration> <epoch> <epoch> <duration> system_clock::time_point is a special case that should be formatted as a localized date, relative to the epoch 1900/01/01. A3 - Add on top of A2 some _byname facets. The fist alternative is in line with the money standard locale category that uses standard symbols, as $ or USD. It has the drawback that the <value> could be localized while the <unit> is not, e.g. 1,234 second Note the use of ','. The third alternative is IMO closer to the user expectations, but needs a better locale messages/by_name facet. The second alternative is a pragmatic one that left the possibility to build A3 when a satisfying messages/by_name facet is available. Boost.Chrono 2.0 in the trunk is a prototype of A2, that doesn't provides facets by locale name, only a default English implementation. That means that for the time been, the user needs to imbue a locale with her specific facet to get the expected localization (See french.cpp example in the SVN repository) What the Boost community think about this? Towards which alternative should Boost.Chrono move? Should Boost.Chrono wait until a concrete standard proposal is accepted? Thanks in advance, Vicente
