-release. We would like to, but if we don't make it we will do it for the next

-The code and docs have been changed according to the extensive review

|

-I still need to extend the documentation adding examples and motivating

|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-I haven't yet changed "boost/cast.hpp" to use the new stuff, I will as soon
|
|
|
-as I see the code stablilized among different compilers.
|
|
|
-
|
|

-In the meantime, new users can use "boost/numeric/conversion/cast.hpp" which

-1. Add markup for the current failures on Windows. I've done all workarounds I

|
|
|
-2. Finally get some results on gcc2.95-stlport. I expect that the library

|
|
|
-3. Try to make Sun compiler happy. I'm comitted a workaround some time ago,

- but tests on Solaris were not run since then.

-I would very much like to see the serialization library in the 1.32 Release.
|
|
|
-However, I'm not sure it will be possible to make the posted schedule.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-I have made all changes to address issues raised in the review. On my
|
|
|
-personal machine I have passed tests for the compilers VC 7.1 VC 6, gcc 3.3.
|
|
|
-Borland compiles (almost everything but requires some debug - it will pass
|
|
|
-most tests) Comeau- compiles everthing - accept for a show stopping problem
|
|
|
-I've been unable to resolve. My intention has been:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-a) post version compatible with 1.31 next week.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-b) build and test against the CVS tree on my computer
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-c) check in
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-In order to do this I need:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-a) authority to check in
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-b) information on how to mark tests/compilers known to fail.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-c) I have a couple of questions that I need an expert opinion on.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- i) the first one is that in order to work, versions for vc 6.0 and
|
|
|
- borland need to be compiled with spirit 1.61. So the a special
|
|
|
- environmental variable indicating the directory path where this version of
|
|
|
- spirit is located on the testing machine. SPIRIT_ROOT. This variable has
|
|
|
- to be set when serialization libraries are built for these compilers.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-I should say I'm more than a little bit concerned about changes to mpl and
|
|
|
-iterators. I'm very much aware of the delays and difficulties associated
|
|
|
-with the 1.31 release - and it didn't even include this package.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-So I would like to continue on the path I've established above and we'll see
|
|
|
-where things stand July 16 when/if you are ready to branch for release.

-I have few outstanding issues to fix, but they are mostly related to
|
|
|
-the documentation. I think, I can manage it.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-As it seems, that the Range library will not make it to this release,
|
|
|
-I will use the internal versions of facilities that are currently in the string_algo lib.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-So my todo list is as follows:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-1) Finish the documentation
|
|
|
- - Add functions list
|
|
|
- - Add exception specifications
|
|
|
- - Cleanup
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-2) Fix examples
|
|
|
-3) If there will be time, improve find_iterator
|
|
|
-4) Fix possible regressions.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Questions:
|
|
|
- - I have posted some requestes/bugs on the boost-doc list. What is the status
|
|
|
- of this. Will they be fixed before release?
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - According to metacom's tables regex is failing on comeau a so string_algo regex
|
|
|
- test. Is this a setup or regex problem?
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - There is an problem with Intel compiler, split tests are failing and I cannot figureout
|
|
|
- why. The message is very vague. Could somebody with an access to this platform,
|
|
|
- try to debug the cause of the problem?
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - In regards to the older compiler support. I cannot resonably support compilers, that I
|
|
|
- don't have an access to. Therefor if somebody is interested to use string_algo library
|
|
|
- with one of such compilers, I will need an active help with porting.

|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-The current status of uBLAS is that it has been relatively untouched in the
|
|
|
-Boost CVS single 1.30.0. The active development takes place on a separate
|
|
|
-CVS.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Therefore now would be a good time to bring in the latest code which as some
|
|
|
-quite significant improvements. The code is relatively stable and tested on
|
|
|
-core compilers.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Issues:
|
|
|
-On exotic (old) compiler the code is relatively untested and expected to fail.
|
|
|
-Therefore the real need with regard to 1.32 is to get feedback from extensive
|
|
|
-regression testing results in good time.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-As ever the documentation could do with further work to bring it up to date
|
|
|
-with the to be release version.
