[cctbxbb] Boost Python 1.56

[markus.gerstel at diamond.ac.uk]

Hi Luc et al.,

no concerns from DIALS East about this.
May I ask though that this is delayed for at least a few days, as we are currently in the process of branching DIALS 1.5?

Thanks

-Markus

Hi all,

everybody seemed to agree but then it was proposed to move straight to Boost 1.60, and this caused troubles. Could we consider again to move to at least 1.56? As far as I can tell, this does not cause any issue and as stated one year ago, it would help me and Olex 2.

Thanks,

Luc

Nigel, Billy & Aaron,

I completely endorse this move to Boost 1.56.  Can we update our build?

Hi,

I have improvements to the smtbx on their way to be committed which require Boost version 1.56. This is related to Boost.Threads, whose support I re-activated a few months ago on Nick’s request. I need the function boost::thread::physical_concurrency which returns the number of physical cores on the machine, as opposed to virtual cores when hyperthreading is enabled (which it is by default on any Intel machine). That function is not available in Boost 1.55 which is the version currently used in the nightly tests: it appeared in 1.56.

So, would it be possible to move to Boost 1.56? Otherwise, I will need to backport that function. Not too difficult but not thrilling.

Best wishes,

Luc
