Hi boost community, some introdution: NaCl (Google NativeClient, https://developer.chrome.com/native-client) - open-source technology authored by Google Inc. providing way to run native code inside web-browser in portable and secure manner. NaCl provides posix-like environment, and supports newlib and glibc standard libraries. currently NaCl is supported by Google Chrome web-browser, and range of applications and software libraries are ported to NaCl (include zlib, quake, etc.). how about integrating NaCl support patches into the boost main-line (trunk/master), I am talking about these NaCl ports patches from Google: https://chromium.googlesource.com/external/naclports/+/master/ports/boost (I actually have a bit more correct patches that allow to compile boost 1.59 for NaCl platforms, while Google patches are still for old version 1.55). some details about patches and which boost areas are covered by patches: - boost/config - common setup for NaCl - boost/cstdint - small change to expose boost::uintptr_t/boost::intptr_t for NaCl, similarly to how it was done to other compilers - buitin.jam and gcc.jam - introduced new os-name for NaCl, in order to properly setup threading libraries (NaCl has pthread but no rt, just like BSD) - boost/system/errorcode - oddball version of strerror_r (just like cygwin), also ENOTRECOVERABLE & EOWNERDEAD errno codes are not supported by PNaCl - boost/log/light_rw_mutex - not supported on NaCl note that boost build is incomplete - certain libraries are not (yet) ported to NaCl, because of platform-specific stuff like file/network I/O : - context - coroutine - coruutine2 - log - filesystem - test - timer - wave not sure if it's OK for start, or all boost libraries should be ported together in order to process further. I would be grateful to hear suggestion about how to process with it, e.g. which actions should I take to make it really happen. I personally suppose making boost to officially support more platforms will make boost even more popular and allow more developers to use it and port their applications to other platforms. I look forward to hearing from you soon. yours sincerely, Konstantin
