Log Message:
Update Boost to 1.33.0:
New Libraries
* Iostreams Library: Framework for defining streams, stream
buffers and i/o filters, from Jonathan Turkanis.
* Functional/Hash Library: A TR1 hash function object that can be
extended to hash user defined types, from Daniel James.
* Parameter Library: Write functions that accept arguments by
name: especially useful when a function has more than one
argument with a useful default value, since named arguments can
be passed in any order.
* Pointer Container Library: Containers for storing heap-allocated
polymorphic objects to ease OO-programming, from Thorsten Ottosen.
* Wave: Standards conformant implementation of the mandated
C99/C++ preprocessor functionality packed behind an easy to use
iterator interface, from Hartmut Kaiser.
Updated Libraries
* Assignment Library: Support for Pointer Container Library and
new efficient functions ref_list_of() and cref_list_of() for
generating anonymous ranges.
* Bind Library: Bind expressions now support comparisons and
negation. Example: bind(&X::name, _1) < bind(&X::name, _2).
* Date-Time Library:
o Added local time and time zone classes.
o Added format-based Input/Output facets.
o For a complete list of changes, see the library change history.
* Graph Library: Introduced several new algorithms and improved
existing algorithms:
o Experimental Python bindings, from Doug Gregor and Indiana
University.
o floyd_warshall_all_pairs_shortest_paths, from Lauren Foutz
and Scott Hill.
o astar_search, from Kristopher Beevers and Jufeng Peng.
o fruchterman_reingold_force_directed_layout, from Doug
Gregor and Indiana University.
o biconnected_components and articulation_points, from
Jeremy Siek, Janusz Piwowarski, and Doug Gregor.
o sequential_vertex_coloring has been updated, tested, and
documented.
o gursoy_atun_layout, from Jeremiah Willcock and Doug Gregor
of Indiana University.
o king_ordering, from D. Kevin McGrath of Indiana University.
o cuthill_mckee ordering has been recast as an invocation of
breadth_first_search and now supports graphs with multiple
components.
o dijkstra_shortest_paths now uses a relaxed heap as
its priority queue, improving its complexity to O(V log V) and
improving real-world performance for larger graphs.
o read_graphviz now has a new, Spirit-based parser that
works for all graph types and supports arbitrary
properties on the graph, from Ron Garcia. The old,
Bison-based GraphViz reader has been deprecated and will
be removed in a future Boost release. write_graphviz also
supports dynamic properties.
o subgraph: get_property now refers to the subgraph
property, not the root graph's property.
o See the history for additional changes and bug fixes.
* Multi-index Containers Library:
o New hashed indices.
o Added serialization support.
o For a complete list of changes, see the library release notes.
* Program Options Library:
o Option descriptions are now printed with word wrapping.
o Command line parser can bypass unregistered options,
instead of throwing.
o Removed support for "implicit" (optional) values.
o New customization method
'command_line_parser::extra_style_parser'. Unlike
'additional_parser', allows the user to parse several
tokens and return a vector of options, not just a single
option.
o Work with disabled exceptions.
* Property Map Library: Introduced the dynamic properties class,
which provides dynamically-typed access to a set of property maps.
* Random Number Library: improved initialization for
mersenne_twister, algorithm by Makoto Matsumoto and Takuji
Nishimura, implemented for Boost by Jens Maurer.
Note: All test vectors for mersenne_twisters constructed or
seeded without parameters or with a single unsigned int parameter
become invalid.
* Range Library: Minor addition of convenience functions to
iterator range like front(), back() and operator[]().
* Regex Library:
o Rewritten front end parser now supports (?imsx-imsx)
constructs, plus lookbehind assertions and conditional
expressions.
o Thin wrapper classes improve integration with MFC/ATL code.
o Full (optional) Unicode support via the ICU library.
Refer to the regex history page for more information on these
and other small changes.
* Serialization Library:
o DLL version.
o Auto-linking.
o Serialization of variants.
o Improved seialization of shared pointers.
* Signals Library: added slot blocking/unblocking, from Frantz
Maerten. Huge improvements to signal invocation performance from
Robert Zeh.
This update has been tested on NetBSD 2.0.2, 3.0_BETA and current.
