https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93240 Bug ID: 93240 Summary: replace boost::ptr_container with std::container<std::unique_ptr> Product: LibreOffice Version: 5.1.0.0.alpha0+ Master Hardware: Other OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: LibreOffice Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org Reporter: mstahl@redhat.com CC: libreoffice@lists.freedesktop.org we use a lot of boost::ptr_container currently: git grep ptr_container | wc -l 286 with C++11 it is now possible to use std::unique_ptr with the C++ standard library containers, and this makes most use of boost::ptr_container obsolete. the bundled boost headers require a lot of patches to suppress warnings so it would reduce the maintenance burden here to use standard C++11 containers instead, and it would also make incremental rebuilds faster whenever boost is modified/patched. also with GCC 5's libstdc++ somehow loads of auto_ptr deprecation warnings are being generated (and ignored) via the boost headers, and that problem would also be substantially reduced by converting these. for examples on how to do this search the git log for "boost::ptr_" in some cases it is even easier to replace the ptr_container with a std container that doesn't use unique_ptr but holds the elements by value - a lot of these containers were converted from awkward legacy tools containers that forced manual memory allocations everywhere. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
