Boost Logging Lib v2 - added documentation
by John Torjo 22 Oct '07

22 Oct '07

Hi all, I've added documentation for the Logging Lib v2 : http://torjo.com/log2/ (Logging homepage) http://torjo.com/log2/doc/html/ (documentation) Just to make sure, the Boost Log Library has these features: * A simple and clear separation of concepts o concepts are also easily separated into namespaces * A very flexible interface * You don't pay for what you don't use. * Fits a lot of scenarios: from very simple (dumping all to one log) to very complex (multiple logs, some enabled/some not, levels, etc). * Allows you to choose how you use logs in your code (by defining your own LOG_ macros, suiting your application) * Allows you to use Log levels (debug, error, fatal, etc). However this is an orthogonal concept - the library will work whether you use levels, categories or whatever , or not. * Efficient filtering of log messages - that is, if a log is turned off, the message is not processed at all * Thread-safe - the library allows you several degrees of thread-safety, as you'll see * Allows for formatters and destinations o formatters format the message (like, prepending extra information - an index, the time, thread is, etc) o destinations specify where the message is to be written o Formatters and Destinations are orthogonal to the rest of the library - if you want you can use them, otherwise you can define your own writing mechanism * Easy manipulation of the logs (turning on/off, setting formatters, destinations, etc) Feedback is most welcome - I'm sure there's lot to improve on the docs ;) Best, John -- http://John.Torjo.com -- C++ expert ... call me only if you want things done right

[logging] Boost Log v2 - with scenarios. What's your scenario?
by John Torjo 22 Oct '07

22 Oct '07

Hi all, I've added scenarios to the documentation - that is, a few of the many ways you can use the lib: - http://torjo.com/log2/doc/html/index.html - http://torjo.com/log2/doc/html/common_scenarios.html Basically I know the lib is very flexible, and should allow most scenarios - so I'd like more suggestions - for other scenarios someone might think of. If time permits, I'll add them. One thing for sure - I'll let you know if it's possible or not. P.S. Kudos to the doxygen makers! (http://torjo.blogspot.com/2007/10/doxygen-rules.html) Best, John -- http://John.Torjo.com -- C++ expert ... call me only if you want things done right

Should auto-props svn:need-lock be used for some file types?
by Henrik Sundberg 22 Oct '07

22 Oct '07

Looking at http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/BoostSubversion MIME Types and End-Of-Line Styles, I realized that svn:need-lock wasn't used at all. I've read http://blogs.open.collab.net/svn/2007/07/from-the-questi.html but am not sure if I think it should be used anywhere anyway. What is the reason for Boost not to use svn:need-lock for eg image files? /$

[thread] Questions/concerns about recent thread lib changes
by Sean Huang 22 Oct '07

22 Oct '07

The thread lib has recently gone through drastic changes. These much needed changes are very welcome and I really appreciate Anthony's work and efforts. We use boost::thread heavily in our mission/performance critical application and the quality and stability of the boost::thread code is paramount to us. With the recent changes and what happened in that process, I felt that it is necessary to raise my concerns to the community. If these concerns have already been addressed and managed, I sincerely apologize for generating this noise and being paranoid. Specifically, my questions are: 1. Do changes in this magnitude warrant a mini-review? 2. Is it a good idea that the new implementation be reviewed by other boost threading experts such as Peter and/or Howard? Take it to the next level, does it make sense to have a peer review process for at least significant changes? Regards, Sean

[rfc] Gui library
by Tom Brinkman 22 Oct '07

22 Oct '07

If you can get a cross platform gui into boost, that meets the standards of boost developers, youll be famous. Many have started and quit after decieding it was to daunting of a task. A modern c++ GUI is probably #1 on the most wanted/needed libraries, IMO,

C++0x question
by Marco Costalba 22 Oct '07

22 Oct '07

Starting to hack with boost libraries I found myself more and more stumbling across a big brick of C++ language, i.e. SFINAE works on types only, not on expressions. If an expression is ill formed there's no SFINAE around that will avoid you a barfing compiler. Looking at C++0x I failed to see a future improvement in that direction, also 'concepts' that will be quite new, apart from helping in decoding error messages (and this is a BIG help I would add), does not immediately seem to extend the language in that direction. For what I have understood 'refinements' are more or less similar to tag dispatching so does not seem to open completely new gates (of course this is just a first look opinion, it means that is not immediately visible to me how to use concepts to add to what you already can do using a more verbose approach, not that for sure it does not exist a way). I would like to ask you if someone has never dreamed of something like try well_formed { .... your code here... } catch { .... fall back code in case former is not compilable... }; I would think this would be an extension that greatly will open new gates to C++. Just to be clear, I'm not advocating to introduce something like the above, just to ask if a discussion around the above lines have never occurred in the C++ community. Thanks Marco

[test][msvc-6.0] execution_monitor.ipp broken in rev 40154
by Joaquín Mª López Muñoz 22 Oct '07

22 Oct '07

Hello, the latest changes or Boost.Test on the trunk make MSVC++ 6.5 choke on just including <boost/test/included/test_exec_monitor.hpp>, with the following: ...\boost\test\impl\execution_monitor.ipp(883) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'uintptr_t' ...\boost\test\impl\execution_monitor.ipp(1045) : error C2039: 'strerror' : is not a member of 'std' [the rest deleted as it does not look interesting] Th strerror problem is simple to fix (see attached patch). As for unitptr_t, AFAIK this is not a standard C++ type, and <boost/cstdint.hpp> does not provide an alternative, so I don't know what could be done without further contextual info. Gennadiy, if you want I can locally test any changes you provide me with in MSVC++ 6.5 so as to try to remedy these problems.

[callback abstraction]Determining interest for proposal
by Miguel Tadeu 22 Oct '07

22 Oct '07

I wrote a small library that attempts to abstract function calls. This proved me useful in the following situations: - when I need to find a callback function( lots of if's or big switch ) - when I deal with communication frames with opcodes - several other libraries use callback mechanisms( i.e: dbus ) and brings these advantages: - cleaner code( main objective ) - makes possible to isolate class implementations from the low level call - makes it easy to implement a polymorphism like mechanism Currentely, it's in beta phase. If enough interest is shown, there is surely room for minor improvements. Thanks, Miguel Tadeu

[Fusion] Onward towards 2.1
by Joel de Guzman 21 Oct '07

21 Oct '07

Hi, Well, heads up. I'm doing lots of refactorizations. It all started with the include dependency bug noted by John Maddock. There's a nasty cyclic dependency happening somewhere that I tried to track. Along the way, I caught unwanted dependencies that stem from violations of the modular design of fusion that allows (by protocol) only acyclic module relationships. A bit of refactorizations after, the new layer/module hierarchy is (hight to low): mpl algorithm | functional container | view | adapted | tuple sequence iterator support This might still change a bit after odds and ends fall into place. If you want something stable, now, there's this new "include" directory that is a flat, MPL like, repository of include files that forward to the proper files (e.g. boost/fusion/include/vector.hpp will always point to where fusion::vector is). I highly recommend users to use it and for developers (Dan and Tobias etc.) to put all relevant forward headers there. Regards, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boost-consulting.com http://spirit.sf.net

Bind and MSVC 8 SP1

Hi, I just started testing Boost 1.34.1 and have found this piece of code produces a warning, which was not present in Boost 1.33.1: --- #include <boost/bind.hpp> struct Foo {}; struct Bar { Foo GetFoo() { return Foo(); } }; int main() { Bar bar; boost::bind(&Bar::GetFoo, bar); } --- 1>boost\boost.1.34.1\boost\boost\bind.hpp(1575) : warning C4180: qualifier applied to function type has no meaning; ignored 1> boost\boost.1.34.1\boost\boost\bind.hpp(1609) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::_bi::add_cref<Pm,I>' being compiled 1> with 1> [ 1> Pm=Foo (__thiscall Bar::* )(void), 1> I=1 1> ] 1> test1\test1.cpp(16) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::_bi::dm_result<Pm,A1>' being compiled 1> with 1> [ 1> Pm=Foo (__thiscall Bar::* )(void), 1> A1=Bar 1> ] It seems to pick this specialisation: template< class M, class T > struct add_cref< M T::*, 1 > { typedef M const & type; //bind.hpp(1575) }; When I would have thought this one more appropriate: template< class R, class T > struct add_cref< R (T::*) (), 1 > { typedef void type; // bind.hpp(1580) }; Any ideas? Thanks, Ben

Attn: users of minimal.hpp and boost/test/included headers
by Gennadiy Rozental 20 Oct '07

20 Oct '07

Hi, Those of you who use minmial.hpp have to add boost/test/minimal in requirements section of Jamfile. Those who are using included variant of the UTF should add boost/test/included. This is nessesary to enable async exceptions for msvc toolset. Otherwise some of the Boost.Test functionality may not work as expected, especially with msvc 8.0. Gennadiy

by Marco 20 Oct '07

20 Oct '07

I uploaded to boost vault a new version of my implementation of Boost.Overload: /overload-mrcec/overload-0.2.1.zip , link: http://tinyurl.com/37647m Boost Overload behaves as an overloaded Boost Function. Actually it wraps multiple Boost Function objects of different signatures. What's new: I only fixed some issue after testing the code on more compilers. This is the current status: compiler OS test ------------------------------------------- gcc 4.1.2 under Linux pass intel 9.1 under Linux pass mingw 3.4.2 under Windows pass mingw 3.2.3 under Windows fail MS VC++ 8.0 under Windows pass MS VC++ 7.1 under Windows fail I arranged this and previous version in boost vault in a specific folder: /overload-mrcec You find a description of each version in the file README_FIRST.TXT, link: http://tinyurl.com/32hv3p You can read a preliminary introduction to boost overload here: http://tinyurl.com/3xtbyl The documentation has been kindly written down by Dean Michael Berris. You can read an informal tutorial here: http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dfxvjncs_1x6456m Please report any bug, compiler issue, comment and suggestion. They are really appreciated.

[intrusive] Looking for some advice on intrusive splay trees
by Ion Gaztañaga 20 Oct '07

20 Oct '07

Hi to all, Lately I've been trying to implement splay trees for Intrusive. Excerpt taken from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splay_tree: "A splay tree is a self-balancing binary search tree with the additional unusual property that recently accessed elements are quick to access again. It performs basic operations such as insertion, look-up and removal in O(log(n)) amortized time. For many non-uniform sequences of operations, splay trees perform better than other search trees, even when the specific pattern of the sequence is unknown. The splay tree was invented by Daniel Sleator and Robert Tarjan." As most of you know, splay trees splay (rebalance) the tree also on searches, so that the target node is placed as root, yielding to better search times for frequently searched nodes (cache effect). The implementation I've taken as model is taken from the article written by Ralf Mattethat for C++ Users Journal (September 2005) titled "Implementing Splay Trees in C++" (http://www.ddj.com/architect/184402007) Following usual STL-like implementations I've used left and right pointers of the header to point to the leftmost and rightmost node respectively. Several intrusive rbtree implementation tricks and optimizations can be easily reused for splay trees so I think we can have a useful intrusive splay tree. My main issue is related to constness and thread-safety. I would like to offer a STL-like interface (that is, the interface actually implemented for other Intrusive containers like set, multiset and rbtree), but take in care that the tree will rebalance in each find/lower_bound/upper_bound operation so those operations couldn't be const members unless we declare the header as mutable. I plan to add optional (runtime) rebalancing for each operation (for example, the user could call find() without rebalancing if he doesn't want to alter the cache effect, or just needs more predictable search times). iterator it = splay_tree.find(a);//Splay operation performed iterator it = splay_tree.find(a, dont_splay);//No splay Allowing const overloads (casting the constness away internally) with splaying (rebalancing): const_iterator it = const_splay_tree.find(a); //Splaying performed would break usual de-facto thread-safety guarantees for STL and Intrusive containers (read-only access from different threads is thread-safe). So the main question is: what approach do you think would be better? ¿Just splay in const operations and put a thread-safety warning? ¿Make const versions non-splaying? ¿Don't offer const versions of search functions? Regards, Ion

[optional] documentation errors
by Edward Diener 19 Oct '07

19 Oct '07

In the 1.34.1 documentation for optional<T>, in the Synopsis section, it is currently written: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- template<class InPlaceFactory> explicit optional ( InPlaceFactory const& f ) ; template<class TypedInPlaceFactory> explicit optional ( TypedInPlaceFactory const& f ) ; AND template<class InPlaceFactory> optional& operator = ( InPlaceFactory const& f ) ; template<class TypedInPlaceFactory> optional& operator = ( TypedInPlaceFactory const& f ) ; -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since InPlacefactory and TypedInPlacePlactory are actual classes, these should be: template<InPlaceFactory> explicit optional ( InPlaceFactory const& f ) ; template<TypedInPlaceFactory> explicit optional ( TypedInPlaceFactory const& f ) ; AND template<InPlaceFactory> optional& operator = ( InPlaceFactory const& f ) ; template<TypedInPlaceFactory> optional& operator = ( TypedInPlaceFactory const& f ) ; ------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the Detailed Semantics these are shown correctly.
