boost.spawn: review requested
by Oliver Kowalke 06 Dec '21

06 Dec '21

Hi, I'd like to propose the new library boost.spawn (https://olk.github.io/) for review. boost.asio's boost::asio::spawn() uses the deprecated and inefficient boost.coroutine library. boost.spawn provides the same functionality while using boost.context's fiber directly. Oliver

The fact that you called the function spawn_fiber() in a sense confirms this.

[fusion] add support for view construction from movable view
by herve martin 28 Nov '21

28 Nov '21

Hi, When working with view of boost::fusion I feel something frustrated because of the limited set of possible constructors. Indeed, apart from copy constructor, views usually only provide constructors taken l-value reference on sequence as input. I would like to extend the constructors set of views with some new ones which would also accept r-value references on view as input. This would allow some fancy combination at construction time as for example: vector <https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_77_0/libs/fusion/doc/html/fusion/container…><bool> v0(true);vector <https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_77_0/libs/fusion/doc/html/fusion/container…><int, char> v1(3, 'x');vector <https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_77_0/libs/fusion/doc/html/fusion/container…><std::string, int> v2("hello", 123); using view1 = joint_view< vector <https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_77_0/libs/fusion/doc/html/fusion/container…><int, char> , vector <https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_77_0/libs/fusion/doc/html/fusion/container…><std::string, int>>;using view = joint_view< vector <https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_77_0/libs/fusion/doc/html/fusion/container…><bool> , view1>; view aview = view(v0, view1(v1, v2));std::cout << aview << std::endl; I would be glad to contribute to the boost library by updating the boost::fusion views with some new constructors bu I'm not familiar with development in boost. What would be the next step to give a chance to my proposal to integrate boost ? Best regards, Herve

Adding my sorting algorithm, ska_sort, to boost, attempt 2
by Malte Skarupke 24 Nov '21

24 Nov '21

Hi everyone, I started a discussion about this in October, but at the time the maintainer of the sort library was busy, then I was busy, so now it's January... I wrote a generalized version of radix sort a couple years ago and gave a talk about it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqs87a_7zxw I would like to get a new version of that sorting algorithm into boost. It's faster than what I showed several years ago. It's also even more general and has a new interface that should be easier to extend. I uploaded the code here: https://github.com/skarupke/sort/tree/master The documentation is also already updated with new benchmark results. Let me know what's required to get this into boost. Would you like this in the form of a pull request? One of the big things that probably needs review is the interface, since radix sorting works differently than comparison based sorting. For most normal uses you just need to provide a sort key, but more complicated cases can get more complicated. I tried very hard to make everything easy, but I'd also be curious if others can come up with better ways of doing the interface. Thanks, Malte -- Malte Skarupke malteskarupke(a)fastmail.fm

ASIO problem with boost 1.78.0.beta1 ?
by Stefan Heinzmann 13 Nov '21

13 Nov '21

Hi all, I'm observing a problem with boost::asio that has surfaced with the newest beta relative to version 1.77.0, using MSVC 16.11.6. I'm getting the following errors: 1>...src\libs\asio\include\boost/asio/impl/any_io_executor.ipp(26,18): error C2039: 'any_io_executor': is not a member of 'boost::asio::executor' 1>...src\libs\asio\include\boost/asio/executor.hpp(48): message : see declaration of 'boost::asio::executor' 1>...src\libs\asio\include\boost/asio/impl/any_io_executor.ipp(26,34): error C2059: syntax error: ')' 1>...src\libs\asio\include\boost/asio/impl/any_io_executor.ipp(28,1): error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int ...and so on. The errors seem rather weird to me, so I might be doing something wrong myself, but the exact same code compiles fine with 1.77.0, using the same compiler. Has anyone got an idea what's wrong? Should I raise an issue in github? Cheers Stefan Heinzmann

union support in describe

Hello, first of all, thank you very much for the great work. But I miss the support for unions.

Header-only libraries linking to compiled libraries...
by Peter Dimov 03 Nov '21

03 Nov '21

... create problems (at least) for CMake users, because a project using a header-only library must link to its compiled dependencies by hand. (Important Note: this is not about the CMake build of Boost. It's about the b2 build of Boost, and the CMake configuration files it generates.) Compiled libraries don't have this problem, because they have CMake targets, and linking to the library target automatically links to the dependencies. For instance, linking to Boost::filesystem would automatically link to Boost::atomic (and on Windows, to bcrypt.lib) as needed. However, as pointed out in https://github.com/boostorg/boost_install/issues/54, header-only libraries such as Process or UUID have no CMake targets. Consequently, it's not possible for the CMake project to link to Boost::uuid and automatically inherit the dependency to bcrypt.lib, or to link to Boost::process and automatically acquire a dependency to Boost::filesystem. Since the CMake configuration files that are generated by `b2 install` define CMake targets based on the b2 targets, it's not possible to fix this just on the boost-install side. If we want Boost::process to appear as a target in CMake, we need boost_process to appear as a target in b2, that is, we need libs/process/build/Jamfile to exist. The easiest way to fix it - if we decide to do something about it - is to create dummy compiled libraries for each such header-only library that isn't really header-only because of dependencies. A number of Boost libraries are already header-only with a stub library for backward compatibility (System, DateTime, Regex), so this wouldn't be something novel.

Boost libraries packaged for build2
by Boris Kolpackov 02 Nov '21

02 Nov '21

We have added support for the build2 build systems to 136 out of 145 Boost libraries and version 1.77.0 is now available from the cppget.org package repository. For details, see: https://build2.org/blog/build2-boost.xhtml Folks on this mailing list may be particularly interested in the "Implementation Details" section where we go deeper into how this conversion was accomplished: https://build2.org/blog/build2-boost.xhtml#impl-details (There is also the README-DEV file in the repository linked from this section which has even more details.) Also, let me add that this is not a call to convert Boost to build2. While we would gladly assist with this effort if the Boost community so wishes, we are also happy to continue our work out of tree.

VS2022 release date is Nov 8
by Peter Dimov 30 Oct '21

30 Oct '21

The Visual Studio 2022 (msvc-14.3) release date is Nov 8, which is right in the middle of our beta master freeze (Nov 3 - Nov 10). Since VS2022 is now RC2, which means that it won't change much if at all, we probably need to start testing our libraries with it now, so that the issues are ironed out before 1.78 beta.
