This was filed a year ago. Not likely to be worked on soon. Moving it to 2.05. |

Replaced boost::shared_ptr with std::shared_ptr in svn rev 6810. I think std::shared_ptr is working even in MSVC2010... |
|

Well, some thoughts about the remaining part. boost::trim + boost::classification + boost::split + boost::join: just implement this thing in idlib or somewhere else and replace usages. boost::predicate + boost::case_conv: implement manually. boost::lexical_cast: it seems not even used now. boost::noncopyable: write two private or deleted copy methods instead. boost::function: replace with std::function. boost::bind: use lambda. boost::posix_time: find some lightweight HPC timer, or maybe even use clock (I guess high precision is not necessary here). boost::spirit: parse the freaking ini file manually, or even using idlib's parser (not sure it is is suitable). boost::filesystem: simply replace with std::filesystem. It has appeared in MSVC2012 already, and GCC supports it for quite a long time too. Just check that they work nicely. |

Removed most of boost in revisions 7012-7013. Now boost is used only for: posix_time - GamePlayTimer spirit - IniFile filesystem - well, in several places P.S. Note that boost will still be used in tdm_update, and I think it's better to simply leave it there =) |
 |
Hmm. 32-bit binary fails to be created for Windows MSVC 2013. The "tools" executable does build? Is that the plan? Rename the tools executable and use that? |
|
|
This is exactly why I was (and am) completely against having two copy/pasted projects. I have just removed the no-tools version of TDM project from solution. Errors from that project will no longer bother anyone. Just use the "tools" version. |

|
Removed posix_time usage in 7032. |
|
|
Added wrapper for std::filesystem in revision 7034 and switched all the code from boost::filesystem to the new wrapper in revision 7035. Yeah, it is a bit scary to be early adopter of C++17 standard library =) I think if there would be any problems with it, we can solve them with MSVC update. I have tested most of the code using filesystem, which is: choosing new mission to start, mission cleanup, space estimation, downloading new missions (including preview images). It seems to work, although it does not throw exception on errors (I did not manage to generate an exception). |

Removed usage of boost::spirit in IniFile in revision 7036. It is amazing how a coder can decide to mess with such a bizarre thing instead of writing 30 simple lines of code himself. |
|
|
To recap: boost is NO longer used in TDM. In revision 7038 I removed it from Linux build system (nothing to remove on Windows). Note that if we want to revert back to boost::filesystem at some moment, we need to rollback commits 7038 and 7035. P.S. Unfortunately, boost is still used in tdm_update, so we cannot delete it from SVN repository. |

Removed mentions of boost on coding-starter page: http://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Coding_in_the_SDK I think it can be removed in more places after some time passes and we are sure that we won't rollback to boost::filesystem. |
