<h1>What to do about Boost bugs</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Make sure the bug isn't already fixed in the latest sources. The most
|
||||
recent version of everything on the Boost web site is available from
|
||||
the <a href="http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started.html#CVS">boost public
|
||||
CVS repository</a>.<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>If you are a Boost user, or a Boost developer that doesn't have a CVS
|
||||
write access: <br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Submit a bug report to either
|
||||
<a href="http://www.boost.org/more/mailing_lists.htm#users">boost-users list</a>,
|
||||
<a href="http://www.boost.org/more/mailing_lists.htm#main">boost mailing
|
||||
list</a>, or our <a href="http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/report">bug
|
||||
tracking facility</a>; submitting it to either of the mailing
|
||||
lists is a preferred way - because many of the Boost developers read the
|
||||
lists on a daily basis, this way you are likely to get a quicker response,
|
||||
and the discussions that often arise there from (possible) bug reports are
|
||||
quite interesting and educational as well;<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>If you have a proposed patch to the code, post it along with your bug
|
||||
report, preferably in the <em>unified diffs</em> format (<code>cvs diff -du</code>);
|
||||
if you can, send a patch relative to the current CVS state. A canonical
|
||||
example of creating a patch file follows (let's assume that you've found
|
||||
a bug in the file <code>intentional_bug.hpp</code>:<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Download the latest version of <code>intentional_bug.hpp</code> from CVS.</li>
|
||||
<li>Make sure that the bug is still present in the code.</li>
|
||||
<li>Copy the file <code>intentional_bug.hpp</code> to a file called <code>intentional_bug.hpp.orig</code>.</li>
|
||||
<li>Apply your changes to <code>intentional_bug.hpp</code>.</li>
|
||||
<li>Run "<code>diff -du intentional_bug.hpp.orig intentional_bug.hpp > intentional_bug.hpp.patch</code>" from the command prompt.</li>
|
||||
<li>Submit the patch file together with an explanation of the bug
|
||||
and the proposed fix; and don't forget to include the word <b>patch</b> or <b>bug</b>
|
||||
in the subject if you're submitting to the <a href="http://www.boost.org/more/mailing_lists.htm#main">boost mailing list</a>.<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>If you are a Boost developer, and you have a CVS write access: <br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>If the bug is trivial (e.g. misspelled name, missed <code>typename</code>,
|
||||
etc.), and you are willing to make a fix, either make your changes locally
|
||||
and contact the library author(s)/maintainer(s) about it, or go ahead and
|
||||
check the fix into CVS, but post a notification about it to the
|
||||
<a href="http://www.boost.org/more/mailing_lists.htm#main">boost mailing
|
||||
list</a> (if the author is not very active on the list, you also might want
|
||||
to consider <code>cc</code>'ing him as well); <br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>If the bug is non-trivial, and/or you don't have the time and resources to fix it,
|
||||
submit a bug report (see p. 2 above); chances are that the maintainer(s)
|
||||
will respond promptly and take care of the problem; <br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>Otherwise, create a temporary branch in CVS, make your changes there, and
|
||||
ask the library author(s)/maintainer(s) to review them; if they are ok with
|
||||
the new code, either you or they can integrate the fixes into the main
|
||||
trunk. </li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||

<h1>Requesting new features for Boost libraries</h1>
|
||||
<p>If you have an idea for a feature or improvement to an existing Boost library
|
||||
- go ahead and post it to either
|
||||
<a href="http://www.boost.org/more/mailing_lists.htm#users">boost-users list</a>
|
||||
or <a href="http://www.boost.org/more/mailing_lists.htm#main">boost mailing list</a>
|
||||
(if you are posting for the first time, please read our
|
||||
<a href="http://www.boost.org/more/discussion_policy.htm">discussion policy</a>
|
||||
before you actually post). </p>
|
||||
<p>You can also use our <a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=7586">
|
||||
feature request tracking facility</a> at SourceForge, but experience has shown
|
||||
that posting to either of the mailing lists is usually a more effective way to
|
||||
get attention of boost developers. </p>
|
||||
<p>If your proposal has its merits, it's very likely that it will generate a
|
||||
constructive discussion that might actually result in (sometimes substantial)
|
||||
improvement of the library - and your name being put on the library's
