As always, the release managers would appreciate it if you download the candidate of your choice and give building it a try. Please report both success and failure, and anything else that is noteworthy.
This helps ensure the candidates build OK before we push them out to SourceForge.
I've been using the RC in my projects and I notice an issue with Boost.Parameter.
It looks like that the RC Boost.Parameter is not able to refer to the parameter types within the function declaration.
For example, this uses `tag::x::_` to refer to x's type:
#include <boost/parameter.hpp> #include <iostream>
BOOST_PARAMETER_NAME(x) BOOST_PARAMETER_NAME(y)
BOOST_PARAMETER_FUNCTION( (void), f, tag, (required (x, *) (y, (tag::x::_)) ) ) { std::cout << x << " " << y << std::endl; }
int main ( void ) { f(1, 2); return 0; }
This example compiles using Boost.Parameter from the trunk (both MSVC 8 and GCC 4.5.3) but on GCC 4.5.3 using Boost.Parameter from RC 1.50.0 Beta1 gives the errors below.
It looks like there were only an hand full of changes of Boost.Parameter that were not merged from trunk to release (see attached .diff). Can these be merged?
As far as I'm concerned, you can merge anything that you think improves the tests. Daniel, do you agree? -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
