Re: [Boost-users] [uuid] stale 1.55 source/build

Update: this is straight from the Boost downloads. First, the binaries that are available are definitely different in size from the previous file I downloaded. Not sure that's because of a workspace directory what may have been intentionally or inadvertently included. Second, still reflects code that is out of sync with the documented update, at least where uuid, and likely several other spots, are concerns. Here it is 7 months since the version was available and the issue is still there. Would someone verify this please? Thank you... On Sat, Jul 5, 2014 at 12:39 PM, Michael Powell wrote:

Hello,

I'm not 100% positive, I downloaded stale source and/or binary build of boost 1.55, supposedly, but I am finding that tickets which were reported to have been included in that version are not in the build.

I'll retrace my steps to find where that build came from, but I seriously question whether this build included the latest 1.55 code.

i.e. uuid fixes, which I am finding are still happening in the download:

Error 1 error C4996: 'std::_Swap_ranges': Function call with parameters that may be unsafe - this call relies on the caller to check that the passed values are correct. To disable this warning, use -D_SCL_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS. See documentation on how to use Visual C++ 'Checked Iterators' c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio 12.0\vc\include\algorithm 925 1 xml

and with reported fixes:

https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/attachment/ticket/9503/uuid.hpp

This is not in the code that I have.

i.e. typedef uint8_t value_type; typedef uint8_t& reference; typedef uint8_t const& const_reference; typedef uint8_t* iterator; typedef uint8_t const* const_iterator; typedef std::size_t size_type; typedef std::ptrdiff_t difference_type;

versus: typedef uint8_t value_type; typedef std::array data_type; typedef data_type::size_type size_type; typedef data_type::difference_type difference_type; typedef data_type::iterator iterator; typedef data_type::const_iterator const_iterator; typedef data_type::reference reference; typedef data_type::const_reference const_reference;

in the reported patch.

In two attempts to 1) build from source myself, 2) download read-built binaries, both have stale versions of source, without the reported patches.

This is not the first time I've encountered such an issue, with the first being failure to build from source several weeks ago now at least.

What with the Git submodule advances, could it be Git submodule(s) were not updated or something along those lines? Any thoughts? Recommendations where to find a reliable 1.55 build?

Thank you...
