[boost] [circular_buffer] Volunteer(s) needed

[Jan Gaspar]

Hi all,

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

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
#5362     circular_buffer does not compile with BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS
#6277     Checked iterators are not threadsafe
#6747     Circular_Buffer / Bounded_Buffer inside Template class problem
#7025     circular buffer reports warning: " type qualifiers ignored on function return type" while compile.
#7950     Eliminate W4-warnings under VS2005
#8012     Inconsistency in linearize()
#8438     vector & circular_buffer storage misbehave when using compiler optimizations

Type: Feature Requests

#5511     Documentation needs some improvement
#7888     circular_buffer should support move semantics

Type: Patches

#8032     Warning fixes in circular_buffer

(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)

Thanks and regards,

Jan

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).

PS I've not offering the maintain the software!

I can take care of move semantics and compilation with
BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS, but this won't be in this month.

P.S.: I'm not offering to maintain the software!, just helping with
some tickets...

This patch is very straightforward.
I can apply it, if you want.

Hi, I could start by analyzing some of the tickets and try to fix the
ones I find doable.

I propose each one assign to himself the tickets he can take care of for
the next release.

Best,
Vicente

[Jan Gaspar]

Thanks, Paul. That would be awesome.

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.

Regards,
  Dimitri

Hi guys,

Thanks for the interest to participate.

I suggest you have a look at the list of the bugs/tasks which needs to be done. If you feel you can do it, assign the task to yourself and work on it. If you get stuck ask for help.

Cheers.

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

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

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

> #5362 circular_buffer does not compile with BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS

Anthony would take care of this.

> #6277 Checked iterators are not threadsafe

https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/6277
IMO, this library is not thread safe so this ticket should be invalid.

> #6747 Circular_Buffer / Bounded_Buffer inside Template class problem

https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/6747
IMO, this ticket has not enough information.

> #7025 circular buffer reports warning: " type qualifiers ignored on function return type" while compile.

I could take care of this.

> #7950 Eliminate W4-warnings under VS2005

This ticket contains also a patch. Marshal?
> #8012 Inconsistency in linearize()
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8012
This seams easy to fix if the option " make /linearize()/ work normally
even on empty buffers" is taken.
I could take care of this.

Marshal would take care of this.

https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8438
this seams a little bit tricker.

HTH,

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.

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.

Thanks.

Jan

OK - thanks - I'll do that and provide a jamfile too.

Fixed; tests cycled, and merged to release.
