Hi all,

Is there any volunteer that could take over the circular_buffer library? I do not maintain it any more.

Type: Feature Requests

#5511     Documentation needs some improvement

(Prior doing any changes please read how the circular_buffers' documentation is generated: http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/libs/circular_buffer/doc/HOWTO-srcdoc)

I'd be willing to update the docs (probably using the Quickbook with Doxygen and Autoindex setup which is much more 'standard' and so more easily updated by others - and also makes much better use of the excellent Doxygen comments, and provide full indexes of functions etc). The text part of the docs will remain more or less as-is except that the examples can be displayed using snippets ensuring the code and docs stay in sync. I'd also provide the necessary file so that those who prefer Doxygen display can use that format. (The attached post on the Clang development group tells how Clang and Doxygen are becoming more 'friendly' and this may give even more benefits - though I've yet to try this). Paul PS I've not offering the maintain the software!Hi All, I'm pleased to announce that as of version 1.8.4 doxygen can optionally use libclang to provide a more accurate source browsing experience, and better syntax highlighting, cross referencing, and call graphs. To enable this feature use ./configure --with-libclang and then set CLANG_ASSISTED_PARSING to YES in doxygen's configuration file. Additional compiler options can be passed via CLANG_OPTIONS. You can download doxygen from: http://www.doxygen.org/download.html or get the code directly from GitHub: https://github.com/doxygen/doxygen Feedback is welcomed.

Thanks, Paul. That would be awesome.

Jan

I'm on the job ;-)

If it goes OK, I'll provide a link to my draft.

(I'll also include a 'history' section with links to the trac tickets, so people can see quickly if/when they are fixed.

Added to my version. I expected to find the code for examples in libs/circular_buffer/example but there don't seem to be any example folder at all. But there are good examples in the text. Are these in the distribution, or can you please send them to me directly (so I can create Quicbook snippets from them to incorporate in the text). Thanks Paul

Hi Paul,

the examples are part of the documentation only. You can extract the examples into separate source files and put them in the examples folder.

OK - thanks - I'll do that and provide a jamfile too. Paul --- Paul A. Bristow, Prizet Farmhouse, Kendal LA8 8AB UK +44 1539 561830 07714330204 pbristow@hetp.u-net.com

Hi all,

There are several bugs which need to be fixed and one challenging feature request (to implement move semantics).

Here is the full list:

Type: Bugs

#4100 some boost classes have sizeof that depends on NDEBUG

https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4100

Is there any Boost policy that requires a library to ensure this kind of constraints?

Even if there isn't one, mixing debug and release components is quite common in large projects when debugging, so the complaint is valid. That said, I do not find how BOOST_CB_ENABLE_DEBUG depends on _DEBUG or NDEBUG, so I assume this macro should be defined by the user explicitly and is not defined by default in any kind of build. If my observation is true I would consider this problem solved.
