Description
CERN number: 71400 Extension: 109284483#

Bertand: All posts on Forum addressed, roofit/roostat outstanding, tmva test still failing .. bad news Patricia had to restart Jenkins and the Windows node are lost in the configuration.

Bertrand: PR still a few pending and a couple of new ones.

Lorenzo: MCC PR introduced functionality duplication.  I will look at the PR and decide whether it needs to be reverted.  Was a set included in the PR?  We should really have a test for any new class/PR.

Bertrand: I have ported the ‘all header’ python script for windows.

Philippe; Next up is Xavier.

Philippe: ROOT Course?

Danilo/Enric: Finished with materials and now working on exercise, which is our way to adapt the length of time.

Philippe: C++17

Guilherme: Merge my set of commits (including LLVM), with clang 5 it nows compile, with gcc 7.2 it does not compile.  One test deadlock.   Not done with operator new with alignment.   icc build is not yet fixed, need to move to typeid+demangling instead of fragile parsing of __PRETTYFUNCTION__.

Philippe: operator new with alignment needs to be either fail clearly or implement the custom operator new semantic.

Guilherme: classic build seems to be working except for a few tests http://cdash.cern.ch/viewTest.php?onlyfailed&buildid=432727

Philippe: 6.12 branch

Axel: I have a PR to move the back port STL headers, it shows two things, span implementation is incomplete and we have already released all the headers.  So I am hesitant to put this in v6.12.  I will just doing in master.

Axel: Cling value printing of floating point number, we need to add back a trailing period.

Axel; So I am almost done.

Axel: LHCb is waiting for new LCG release and they said they will pick up v6.12 only if we release this week.

Axel: Are there anything we are waiting on.

Guilherme: I will like to have the change in detangling in (based on typeid).

Axel: I am very hesitant to put it in v6.12, I think it is a bit too sensitive to put it so late in the cycle.

Guilherme: I am concerned that it does not work on Windows without this change.

Bertrand: It does not work yet (beside this problem).

Guilherme: I might still make it in time.

Axel: Fair enough, if you complete the testing by tomorrow noon/geneva.

Guilherme: I will take a look ROOT-8528

Philippe: We should make ROOT-8566, ROOT-8269, ROOT-6077 a blocker for v6.12/02  (time-out for v6.12/00)

Lorenzo: Worked on slide for Fitting for Course.  We should not teach people to use object on the stack with rather on the heap (problem with Draw/DrawClone — issue is that transient member are not copied by DrawClone, also C++ function pointer).

Guilherme: Finished VM for course. Merged some PR and some of my commits.

Bertrand: Windows is back in Jenkins :)   Working on PyROOT on Windows, ACLiC also failing (backslashes).

Danilo: working on course.

Oksana: nothing important to report.

Enrico: going through little things/clean for the release.  Helping people using TDF.

Enric: working on course.

Axel: Thank you so much to Danilo and Enric for the all the hardwork in writing and orchestrating the course :).    May I attend some of the course.

Danilo: Of course, everybody is welcome.

Axel: thanks, it is helpful to the participant to see us attend/pay attention.

Raphael: CMS is compiling with module !!  400Mb of source location entries for boost, reduced dramatically by using a sparse vector.

Jakob: nothing important to report.

Olivier: working on course, user support.
