[1.41.0] Beta 1 release candidate

[Beman Dawes]

1.41.0 beta 1 release candidates are available at http://boost.cowic.de/rc/

Before pushing the beta out to SourceForge, I'd appreciate it if
several people would try the release candidate and report success or
problems.

Thanks,

boost-docs.7z contains two subdirs named boost_propertytree and
property_tree. Is this
intentional? Also, a handful of libs have folders prefixed with boost_,
which seems not to be
the norm.

'boost-docs.7z' contains just the generated files for the 'doc/html'
folder, it's not meant for general use.

My boo boo. I should have pointed to just the release specific files.

For Windows line endings:

linux:    straight Ubuntu 9.04
compiler: gcc-4.3.3

commands used:

./bootstrap.sh
./bjam stage


All builds fine *except* Boost.Python which fails to compile (nearly?) all
files with errors such as:

./boost/python/detail/wrap_python.hpp:75:24: error: patchlevel.h: No such file or directory

        -and-

error: ‘PyObject’ was not declared in this scope


I am not a normal user of Boost.Python so I suspect I don't have the correct
dependencies installed.

You need python-dev package installed, I think. I plan to have an automatic check in
1.42.

Hi Beman,

A couple of minor documentation issues.  I noticed that these  
libraries are not listed in the Libraries Listed Alphabetically,  
though they are listed in the Libraries by Category.  Perhaps someone  
could add them to the alphabetical listing?

conversion/lexical_cast - lexical_cast class template, from Kevlin  
Henney
result_of - determines the type of a function call expression.
base-from-member - Idiom to initialize a base class with a member,  
from Daryle Walker.

This is related to creating the tools\jam\src\bootstrap
directory. If it starts off with an empty dir there is
no message.

How do I get to a list of which libraries have been added or modified in
this release?

Thanks,

Platform: Ubuntu 9.10 (x86)
Compiler: gcc 4.4.1

Built successfully.
(Quite a lot of strict-aliasing rules warnings thrown up.)


However, I did notice that tools/regression/doc/library_status.html
refers to the script tools/regression/library_test_all

This file doesn't exist: it is actually
tools/regression/src/library_test_all.sh


Tried to run tests, but ended up with lots of "bad variable name" errors
for LD_LIBRARY_PATH thrown up by dash (Ubuntu's /bin/sh).  Anybody come
across this before?

I take it these are all related to boost.python ?
Python 3 reportedly has fixed its C API so it can be used with strict
aliasing turned on. And, coincidentally, this boost release is the first
one to support Python 3. :-)
FWIW.

Please use --debug-configuration and post the initial output. I did fix
such an error before -- it could be that you're actually using system-wide
Boost.Build. Or, alternatively, there could be a further bug -- while I
am on Kubuntu, I don't use that incompatible-with-everything-brand-new-shell ;-)
If that's a further bug, could you run with -n and post a single test run
command?

Volodya, is this something we should hold the beta for, or can it wait until
the release?

I have just tried on Kubuntu 8.04, using dash as shell, and tests still do work.
So, I still think local misconfiguration is a likely reason, and that we should
not delay beta. We should be able to figure this for the final release.

Added. Listed under the lexical_cast name, as that's where people will look
for it.

Added.

That's one of several listed as "Utilities". While they probably should be
broken out separately, I don't have the patience at the moment.

These changes will go in the release, but not the beta.

Thanks,

Download and unpack fine  - Vista, MSVC 9.0.  It seems to have grown ;-)

Rebuilt a few things...

NO showstoppers :-))

but a few minor observations...

As usual was confused by instructions on building libraries. No warning that it
will take quite a long time.

I suspect many Windows users may not need all the versions of all the libraries.
Regex and Test and Datetime most popular?

I repeat my suggestion that a few well-chosen command files would be *much* more
immediately useful and reduce the steady stream of cries for help on the mailing
list.

Not helped by missing link to Boost.Build documentation:

File "boost-build/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/invocation.html"not found.

From:
"For a complete description of these and other invocation options, please see
the Boost.Build documentation."

As usual a slew of warnings :-(

"warning C4702: unreachable code" - in Boost.Test
Shall I submit Trak for these?

"warning C4180: qualifier applied to function type has no meaning; ignored"
in math library (mea culpa - submit Trak to self!)

and C4180 in Fusion too.

This C4180 seems such an unhelpful warning that I wonder if it should be
'globally' suppressed in Boost config.

Does anyone consider C4180 a useful warning to them?  It is a problem on other
platforms?

What exactly was confused? Did you follow "Simplified Build from Source",
or something else?

> No warning that it will take quite a long time.

Where do you suggest to print/show such a warning?

Can you elaborate?

This is a strange hiccup of the web site. The nightly build of Boost.Build,
which is pulled by the site and then served, is just fine.

Yep - it was me being dumb - I'd managed to lose PATH update that put
the freshly built bjam on the path, so I was picking up the system one.

The tests are now running - I'll check over the results and post if
there are any unexpected failures, but that isn't going to be anytime
soon :-)


There are a couple of minor updates that should be put in (probably for
1.42) regarding the documentation for building and running the tests in
tools/regression/doc/library_status.html:
* the wrong path for library_test and library_test_all
* mangled HTML in the formatted pages:
  * ../bin.v2/libs/test/<library%gt;/...
  * ../libs/%lt;library%gt;/example
* the "preliminaries" suggest that the tools are built by just invoking
  bjam in the tools/regression/build directory: this only builds
  process_jam_log.  It didn't build library_status (had to explicitly
  build it).

Apologies for the misleading error report!

Phil
