[iostreams] [regression] iostreams added to CVS

Dear all, The iostreams library has been added to CVS. I've also added a line to boost-root/status/Jamfile. Is this enough to have the library included in the regression tests, or is something more required? Jonathan

Great! Been looking forward to it :-)

That will do it. You might want to announce this on the Boost-testing list where regression testing is discussed -- although most of the regression testers are probably subscribed here as well... Jeff

Hi Jonathan, the iostreams library currently breaks all regression tests!! unknown dependent target <@boost!libs!iostreams!build>libboost_zlib.lib Cheers, Stefan Jonathan Turkanis wrote:

Sorry! Okay, I've commented out the compression tests. I expected the compression tests to fail on some system because they need some environment variables set. But I don't understand why they would break the other tests. Jonathan

Because all the targets have to be known at the beginning of the test run. What is meant by 'boost_zlib'? I'm not aware of such a lib in boost?! Do you mean external libraries that have to be configured by environment settings? If you expect these test cases to be executed properly by anyone, you should post some instructions about these things on the boost.testing list (...and also continue there thread there)! Btw, did you realize that all the lines of your source files end with "\r\r\n" in cvs? Stefan

It's defined in boost-root/libs/iostreams/build/zlib.jam, which is imported by boost-root/libs/iostreams/test/Jamfile

The default values should work on unix-like systems including Cygwin. For other windows systems,environment variables need to be set. Making the compression test pass is not my first priority, though. I was expecting compiler errors of the form "cannot find 'zlib.h'"
Btw, did you realize that all the lines of your source files end with "\r\r\n" in cvs?
I looked at a 8 randomly selected files with a hex editor and don't see any problems. My text editors generally warn about inconsistent line-endings. If you point out the corrupted files, I'll fix them ASAP.

Thanks. The last time I had looked, threre was no inspection data for iostreams. Oddly, when I would run cvs update, my local copies of the files in question didn't have inconsisten line endings. I conjectured that using cygwin cvs with files having windows line endings might be causing the problem, so I converted everything to unix and it seems to be fixed. Is this a known phenomenon?
