selsta was that numeric_limits compile bug in wipeable_string fixed?

this: github.com/UkoeHB/monero/runs/5149620642?check_suite_focus=true

oh it must be ci on my branch failing...

Hey is there a specific version of boost that yall want to stick to?

I found this line in the root CMakeLists file:

find_package(Boost 1.58 QUIET REQUIRED COMPONENTS system filesystem thread date_time chrono regex serialization program_options locale)

How opposed are we to upgrading Boost?

It's probably too much work to upgrade it, but an interesting note: if we were to raise the minimum Boost requirement to 1.60 instead of 1.58, we could annihilate epee/include/file_io_utils.h and replace each of its functions 1-to-1 with a boost::filesystem function.

is_file_exists -> boost::filesystem::exists, save_string_to_file -> boost::filesystem::save_string_file, load_file_to_string -> boost::filesystem::load_string_file, get_file_size -> boost::filesystem::file_size

Update on me: worked on the re-review 7877 last week and mostly done, covid hits me and stopped me for finishing

ah snap, feel better :)

Later boosts work fine too. Replacing stuff in code just for the hell of it doesn't get my vote.

Fixes to make it work with recent boost are welcome.

UkoeHB: I don't remember

UkoeHB: try to rebase your branch

vtnerd: I pushed a cleanup commit for your review on 7877

Is it safe to say that I can rely on the c++11 standard for this project?

Do you mean, can I use C++ features ? If so, yes. If not, rephrase.

s/C++/C++11/

jeffro256[m]: pretty sure the project uses c++14 now

okay even better! Thanks!

The monero.social Matrix server will have downtime as well today, starting in approximately 1-2 hours. It is being moved to a dedicated AMD EPYC server. Apologies for the short notice. It should take less than 4 hours for the transition to occur. The Monero group chats will remain accessible from other Matrix servers during the downtime, including matrix.org. Thank you.
