Patches
-
Locale
Patch - Fixes a bug which causes
boost::locale::utf::utf_traits
to accept some invalid UTF-8 sequences, which is a possible security flaw.
New Libraries
- Context:
-
switching library,
from Oliver Kowalke.
Updated Libraries
-
Algorithm:
-
Fixed
is_sorted_until
; now matches the c++11 standard behavior on ranges with duplicate
values.
-
Added range support for the rest of the search algorithms.
-
unhex now uses Boost.Exception
to signal bad input.
-
Asio:
-
Fixed an incompatibility between
ip::tcp::iostream
and C++11 (#7162).
-
Decorated GCC attribute names with underscores to prevent interaction
with user-defined macros (#6415).
-
Added missing
#include
<cctype>, needed for some versions of
MinGW.
-
Changed to use gcc's atomic builtins on ARM CPUs,
when available (#7140).
-
Changed strand destruction to be a no-op, to allow strand objects
to be destroyed after their associated
io_service
has been destroyed.
-
Added support for some newer versions of glibc which provide the
epoll_create1()
function but always fail with ENOSYS
(#7012).
-
Changed the SSL implementation to throw an exception if SSL engine
initialisation fails (#6303).
-
Fixed another regression in
buffered_write_stream
(#6310).
-
Implemented various minor performance improvements, primarily targeted
at Linux x86 and x86-64 platforms.
-
Config:
-
Deprecated a whole bunch of macros that were c++11 specific, but
not named to show that they were c++11 specific. Made new macros
with better names, and paired the old macros with the new ones. Updated
the documentation to list the deprecated macros.
-
Chrono:
-
#6918
Boost Chrono compilation failure on HP uX due to undefined pthread_getcpuclockid.
-
#6241
boost::chrono compilation problems without std::wstring support.
-
#6987
Documentation & C++11.
-
#7041
time_point.hpp depends on Boost.System.
-
#7042
Avoiding time_point and duration dependency on time.h and CLOCK_REALTIME.
-
#7058
Make it work when BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS is defined.
-
#7069
Misspellings in clock_string<thread_clock>.
-
#7081
WinError.h capitalization in boost/detail/win/basic_types.hpp.
-
Geometry:
-
points accessed through a pointer (e.g. in a linestring) should now
be specialized without the pointer. In previous versions a type
my_point used like
linestring<my_point*>
had to be specalized like: template<> struct
tag<my_point*>.
Now the library itself removes the pointer before calling the traits
class, so now it should be like: template<> struct
tag<my_point>
-
intersection was sometimes wrong for integer points, fixed
-
documentation, order of parameters in simplify was wrong, fixed
-
7030
spherical distance, fixed (by patch of Karsten Ahnert)
-
Graph:
-
Refactored support for internal and bundled properties in Boost.Graph-provided
graph types, and cleaned up named parameter functionality:
-
Enabled old-style (non-bundled) internal properties in
compressed_sparse_row_graph.
-
Bundled properties should work correctly for all graph types
and adaptors.
-
Bugs fixed:
-
#6993: Typo Bundled Properties document
-
#7002: Problem with initialization of CSR bidirectional
graph
-
#7023: Enclose internal type graphml_reader in anonymous
namespace
-
Other bugs and warnings not in Trac
-
Hash:
-
Support the standard smart pointers.
-
hash_value now implemented
using SFINAE to avoid implicit casts to built in types when calling
it.
-
Updated to use the new config macros.
-
Lexical cast:
-
Better performance, less memory usage for
boost::array<character_type, N> and std::array<character_type, N> conversions.
-
Fixed bug with volatile input parameter #7157.
-
Math:
-
Updated to use the new config macros.
-
MSM:
-
Proto:
-
Proto transforms get pseudo-parameter pack expansion support for
unpacking expressions. See the Release
Notes for more information.
-
Ratio:
-
#7075
Workaround for error: the type of partial specialization template
parameter constant "n1" depends on another template parameter.
-
Regex:
-
Updated to use the new config macros.
-
Thread:
-
#4258
Linking with boost thread does not work on mingw/gcc 4.5.
-
#4885
Access violation in set_tss_data at process exit due to invalid assumption
about TlsAlloc.
-
#6931
mutex waits forwever with Intel Compiler and /debug:parallel
-
#7044
boost 1.50.0 header missing.
-
#7052
Thread: BOOST_THREAD_PROVIDES_DEPRECATED_FEATURES_SINCE_V3_0_0 only
masks thread::operator==, thread::operator!= forward declarations,
not definitions.
-
#7066
An attempt to fix current_thread_tls_key static initialization order.
-
#7074
Multiply defined symbol boost::allocator_arg.
-
#7078
Trivial 64-bit warning fix on Windows for thread attribute stack
size
-
#7089
BOOST_THREAD_WAIT_BUG limits functionality without solving anything
-
Unordered:
-
Fix construction/destruction issue when using a C++11 compiler with
a C++03 allocator (#7100).
-
Remove a
try..catch to support compiling without
exceptions.
-
Adjust SFINAE use to try to supprt g++ 3.4 (#7175).
-
Updated to use the new config macros.
-
Wave:
-
xpressive:
-
Work around buggy wide ctype facet on cygwin and mingw.
-
Work around absence of __isctype on some glibc implementations.
-
op::as shouldn't assume string::iterator != char*.
-
Fix assertion in
cpp_regex_traits
on libc++, thanks to John Fletcher.
