std::vector< boost::shared_ptr<T> > TVec; I want to write a function object to run std::for_each. to do somework against members of T and accumulate results in functor. My attempts have failed in VC7 with memory errors in my operator() method. struct fo { bool operator()( boost::shared_ptr<T>& t ) { return true; } }; Thanks in advance bille

Will libraries built on WinNT run on Win98? (MinGW)
by Reed Hedges 31 Mar '05

31 Mar '05

I know that Win98 is not really supported, but is there any chance that libraries (specifically thread and regex) that were build on WinNT using MinGW work on Win98 (in MinGW)? My guess is no, but has anyone tried it? thanks reed

Bug in lexical_cast<> with doubles
by Leon Raj 29 Jan '05

29 Jan '05

I think I've found a bug in the boost::lexical_cast<> library (v1.31.0) on WinXP SP1, MSVC 6.0 (sp5) and MSVC.NET 2003. --- Start code snippet --- #include <boost/lexical_cast.hpp> #include <iostream> int main( int argc, char* argv[] ) { double dMax = = std::numeric_limits< double >::max(); // On a Win32 x86 system, dMax is now 1.7976931348623157e+308 // This is successful and strMax is "1.797693134862316e+308" std::string strMax = boost::lexical_cast< std::string >( dMax ); try { double newDMax = boost::lexical_cast< double >( strMax ); std::cout << "Successfuly" << std::endl; } catch ( boost::bad_lexical_cast& ) { std::cout << "Failed to cast" << std::endl; } // On a Win32 x86 system, this always fails, // because (I think) strMax overflows a double, // because 1.7976931348623157e+308 is *rounded UP* // to 1.797693134862316e+308, which cannot be // represented by a double } --- End code snippet --- ----------------------------------------------------- Leon Raj Senior Engineer Invetech Pty.

"Compiler threading support not turned on" error
by Glen Simmons 12 Oct '04

12 Oct '04

I'm attempting to use Boost.threads on Mac OS X 10.3 and am getting the error "Compiler threading support is not turned on" when trying to compile. I'm using Xcode, which is Apple's IDE, so I'm not sure what to do when the error text helpfully suggests I set the correct command line option. As far as I know, there's nothing extra that you have to do to enable threading support in the compiler. I've written multi-threaded apps using pthreads and never had to deal with command line options. Any suggestions? Thanks, Glen Simmons

C++ Parsing - oops
by Foster, Gareth 03 Oct '04

03 Oct '04

Hello John, Joel, I didn't mean to knock your work with that last email John, it might have come across badly, it was meant more as a compliment to spirit and a reference to the fact that it 'appears' to fit the bill for what I want to do better, not to bash regex, I like regex too. For the record it needn't be 'perfect' indexing of the C++ code, I don't mind if I get two hits for the same classname for example. I used regex for a tool to index the C++ and C files themselves, so I could quickly search for file names using regular expressions, it works great! So thank you both, no offence caused I hope. So, will spirit be the best way then? Glad to hear its already a part of boost btw, congratulations mate. Cheers!

It depends what you want to do: if you want to use a "real" C++ parser then you will also have to preprocess the code (including the includes) and then parse the code. In theory this gives you a "perfect" result, but only if you know what include paths to use, and what predefined macros should be set (think about conditional code blocks). Regexes on the other hand, don't require you to preprocess the code, but can get confused by macros and the like. So you have to choose the way that best meets your expectations, and live with the defects either which way ;-) To solve your problem BTW, why not scan through the file for line starts (keeping count obviously!), and at each line start see if it's also the start of the regex you are interested in (one that matches a class definition for example), if you do this don't forget to either: prefix your expression with \A or Pass the match_continuous flag to regex_search, Either will anchor the search at the start of the line you are checking, and prevent the whole text being searched.

Re: Boost:regex and C++ Parsing - Spirit!
by Foster, Gareth 03 Oct '04

03 Oct '04

Wow, I just read through the 1st few pages of the spirit docs, and I can safely say, that is as close to naked women as C++ code will ever be, its such a sexy idea. One library, and you can parse any sort of config file, code or anything! Amazing. Well, any lingering desire to use regex for my pet project has now left the building, I can't wait to have a play with spirit. When will it be a part of boost? Is it worth installing it seperately (I'd hate to do that and have a new boost appear the day after). Also, reading this made up my mind that I should get a nice magazine about STL and C++ matters, can anyone recommend one (UK based preferable, but all sugestions welcome). Interetsing stuff, thank you all! Gaz

Are BOOST_BUILD_PATH && BOOST_ROOT necessary?
by Steven T. Hatton 01 Oct '04

01 Oct '04

>From reading the documentation on boost.org, I have gotten the impression I don't need to set $BOOST_BUILD_PATH and $BOOST_ROOT. I'm more than a little confused about how I should use the boost libraries. Part of this comes from the fact that it is not clear to me exactly where the demarkation is between using the build system to build boost, and using it to build my own programs. Some of my confusion comes from the appearant change in configuration requirements described in the documentation. It is suggested I don't need the environment variable used with earlier releases. One of these variables is $BOOST_ROOT, which the documentation used as an example of how to build boost. That example was exactly what I successfully (I believe) build the libraries with. I'm using SuSE Linux 9.1 on a P4 box. Some basic questions are these: When I downloaded and built boost, I first fetched the source for bjam. This is the name of the file I downloaded: boost-jam-3.1.10.tgz It compiled quite nicely, and I copied the resulting bjam jam mkjambase and yyacc to a location in my path. Are there anything other things such as configuration files I need to reside with the binary executables? Are there necessary configuration file that I need to have visible to these programs, even if they are not colocated? I then build boost with the command: bjam --prefix=$BOOST_ROOT "-sTOOLS=gcc" install after setting my BOOST_ROOT the way I wanted it. That resulted in two directories being placed in $BOOST_ROOT/ one is called $BOOST_ROOT/include/ the other is called $BOOST_ROOT/lib/. Under $BOOST_ROOT/include/ I have <path>/boost-1_31/boost/ which contains dozens of header files. I added $BOOST_ROOT/include/boost-1_31 to my $INCLUDE_PATH, and $BOOST_ROOT/lib to my $LIBRARY_PATH and $LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables. Is this the correct way to configure my system to use boost? Is there anything else I need to do in order to compile my programs against the boost headers and libraries? Will the boost libraries work as well as other, comperable libraries using autotools rather than bjam? Are there any special accommodations I need to make in order to use boost with the gnu build tools? Do I need to do anything special to use boost with bjam that does not involve placing files in my current project directories? For example, do I need to provide a global configuration file of some kind? Is it a preferred option, even if not strictly required? There is much remaining in the source directory where I compiled boost. Is that something I need to also put in an accessible place on my system? If so, what so I need to put where, and how to I modify my environment variable to facilitate its use? -- Regards, Steven

BOOST_CHECK_CLOSE apparent misbehavior
by Ross Boylan 01 Oct '04

01 Oct '04

I get the following error Specification_test.cc(22): error in "specsimple": difference between spec(i, j){0.206788} and results[k]{0.206788} exceeds 1e-05% The numbers agree to all printed digits. I get a maximum relative error (assuming the printed values are rounded from extremes)*(see footnote) of .000001/.206787 = 4.8e-6 < 1e-5. Even doubling this is under the tolerance. As I read the documentation, this should pass. 1e-6 tolerance produces a lot more discrepancies; 1e-4 says they are all OK. Have I misunderstood something, or is something funny going on? In particular, the "%" after "1e-5" in the error message suggests the tolerances are supposed to be in percentage terms, i.e, 1e-5 implies a real tolerance of 1e-7. That would explain things, but I see nothing in the documentation to suggest the tolerance value is a percent. (Well, the docs do say the tolerance can be an integer.) The relevant line is BOOST_CHECK_CLOSE(spec(i, j), results[k], tol); All relevant quantities are doubles. It may be relevant that the program under test includes <cmath>. Debian package libboost-dev 1.31.0-7 on an Athlon system. # g++ --version g++.real (GCC) 3.3.4 (Debian 1:3.3.4-6sarge1) Linux kernel 2.4.26 * In fact, the results value is coded as 0.2067880 in the program, so my calculation likely gives double the possible discrepancy.

Forgot to add
by Foster, Gareth 30 Sep '04

30 Sep '04

I also was going to say Joel, you ought to moan about the description of spirit in the docs, I can see it is there in the list of libraries now, and whilst it probably does describe what the library does, it doesn't do it in a way that is very identifiable for those who don't know about the subject, I just plain missed it, despite the fact that I was looking to parse C++. spirit <file:///C:/boost/boost_1_31_0/libs/spirit/index.html> - LL parser framework represents parsers directly as EBNF grammars in inlined C++, from Joel de Guzman and team. Why not something like ... spirit <file:///C:/boost/boost_1_31_0/libs/spirit/index.html> - A customisable framework for parsing any syntax. You will know what I mean and how to describe it properly etc I'm sure. Just a thought :) Gaz

Boost:regex and C++ Parsing - Clarification
by Foster, Gareth 30 Sep '04

30 Sep '04

Hello, Thank you Caleb and Hartmut for your replies. You both seem to think regex is a bad way to go, I will explain better what I want to write just to be clear. I want to write a tool (cli probably) where I can say, here you go, here is a large folder full of code, go and parse it. I will store the results in XML format somewhere, then, I can do say, "<myapp> class someclass" and the program will go and find where that class is declared/defined using its database, saving me headache. So I thought I could use one of the C++ expat wrappers, and boost regex looked powerful enough to do the parsing if only I were handy enough with regular expression syntax. Anyway, I don't know if that better explanation will make any difference to you recommendations, I look forward to reading you opinions. Oh, and the example I looked at is here Hartmut: http://boost.org/libs/regex/example/snippets/regex_search_example.cpp - that is what got me thinking I might actually be able to take on this challenge.

I don't know of any efforts going on regarding C++ parsing with the help of regex (non-authoritative answer). But there is the Wave library (Boost review is due shortly), which is a C/C++ preprocessor containing different C++ lexing components, which may be helpful for you during writing a class name extraction tool.

Hey mate, I've actually come across this, whilst it is really neat, it does require include paths, infact, probably a whole make system to resolve names etc, which I won't always have, so I decided against using it. If I'm wrong on that, please do let me know, since it would be ideal other than that one issue. Thanks!

Boost uBLAS

30 Sep '04

Hi Boost People, Have just a simple Question: 1. I use the uBLAS matrix class together with the MPI. Is it save to send matrices similar to std::vectors, by using &(Matrix(0, 0)) as the argument for the sending buffer? (Similar as one can do &(Vector[0]) for the std::vector? ) I just use matrix<double> in the code, without any further template specifications. Thanx P.

Boost.graph read_graphviz problems in CVS head
by Jeffrey Holle 29 Sep '04

29 Sep '04

I attempted to switch from boost_1_31_0 to the CVS head available on Sun Sep 26 20:25:26 PDT 2004. My application uses read_graphviz to read the attached file. When built with the CVS head boost and run, I get the message "parse error" and a segment fault. When build with boost 1_31_0 and run, it works fine. digraph Components { node [ shape = record ]; size="6,6"; 0[label="0",type="Component"]; 1[label="1",type="Component"]; 2[label="2",type="Component"]; 3[label="3",type="Component"]; 4[label="4",type="Component"]; 5[label="5",type="Component"]; 0 -> 1[type="Association"]; 1 -> 4[type="Association"]; 4 -> 0[type="Association"]; 2 -> 5[type="Association"]; }

Boost:regex and C++ Parsing
by Foster, Gareth 29 Sep '04

29 Sep '04

Hello, I have a couple of questions, firstly, how might I extend the example for parsing C++ code for class names so that it records the line number on which the class is defined? I thought maybe I could extend the regular expression so that it has "|(\n)" at the end, or maybe there is another way. In any case I am not sure if that is the correct way to extend the regex and I am unsure how to check the regex_match result to see if it was a new line character I encountered or a class name. Secondly, are there any efforts anywhere to parse C++ for other keywords by this approach? Many thanks for any help or hints on this, for the record I am really impressed with boost, a while ago, I might have said I didn't want the depandancy, but now I'd put up with that any time, good luck getting boost work into the next C++ standard, it's great!

Is boost::to_upper() still a part of Boost? I did a grep on the Boost includes today and did not find to_upper. Has it been renamed or deprecated? boost.org does list to_upper() in its online docs (boost.org Home > Documentation > Nightly CVS), but I can't find it in the online docs for the current release or the (offline) documentation that comes with Boost.

Bad interaction between boost::bind and Boost.Python?
by Nat Goodspeed 24 Sep '04

24 Sep '04

With the files newly unpacked from boost_1_31_0.zip, using MS VS .NET 2003 (aka 7.1), the following two-line source file: #include <boost/bind.hpp> #include <boost/python.hpp> compiled with the following command line: cl /c /I "c:/Dev/boost_1_31_0" /I "$PYTHONDIR/include" /EHsc test.cpp produces these errors: Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 13.10.3077 for 80x86 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1984-2002.

I'm trying to upgrade from Boost 1.30.2 to 1.31.0 today, but this bug is turning into quite a problem because of deep nesting of our own #include files. It hasn't yet become a show-stopper; but it's certainly taking me a great deal of effort to try to propagate every #include <boost/python*> -- and every file that includes it! - higher in its includer's #include list than any #include <boost/bind.hpp>. Please tell me there's a better way.

using graph_property_iter_range::const_iterator

I'm using boost 1_31_0 and gcc 3.4.2. I'm adding an iterator interface to my class that abstracts use of internal boost graph properties and have had success with one exception that involves const_iterator. Here is how this class looks: struct VertexData { typedef boost::graph_property_iter_range <DataGraphT,vertex_Datum_t>::iterator iterator; typedef boost::graph_property_iter_range <DataGraphT,vertex_Datum_t>::const_iterator const_iterator; typedef Vertex_Datum value_type; VertexData(DataGraphT& dataGraph); iterator begin(void) {return boost::get_property_iter_range(dataGraph_,vertex_Datum).first;} // const_iterator begin(void) const {return boost::get_property_iter_range(dataGraph_,vertex_Datum).first;} iterator end(void) {return boost::get_property_iter_range(dataGraph_,vertex_Datum).second;} // const_iterator end(void) const {return boost::get_property_iter_range(dataGraph_,vertex_Datum).second;} When I uncomment the const begin method, I get the following compilation error: dataGraph.h:30: error: conversion from `boost::detail::lvalue_pmap_iter<boost::counting_iterator<size_t, boost::use_default, boost::use_default>, boost::subgraph_global_property_map<DataGraphT*, boost::vec_adj_list_vertex_property_map<boost::adjacency_list<boost::vecS, boost::vecS, boost::bidirectionalS, boost::property<boost::vertex_index_t, int, VertexProperty>, EdgeProperty, boost::no_property, boost::listS>, boost::adjacency_list<boost::vecS, boost::vecS, boost::bidirectionalS, boost::property<boost::vertex_index_t, int, VertexProperty>, EdgeProperty, boost::no_property, boost::listS>*, Vertex_Datum, Vertex_Datum&, vertex_Datum_t> > >' to non-scalar type `boost::detail::lvalue_pmap_iter<boost::counting_iterator<size_t, boost::use_default, boost::use_default>, boost::subgraph_global_property_map<const DataGraphT*, boost::vec_adj_list_vertex_property_map<boost::adjacency_list<boost::vecS, boost::vecS, boost::bidirectionalS, boost::property<boost::vertex_index_t, int, VertexProperty>, EdgeProperty, boost::no_property, boost::listS>, const boost::adjacency_list<boost::vecS, boost::vecS, boost::bidirectionalS, boost::property<boost::vertex_index_t, int, VertexProperty>, EdgeProperty, boost::no_property, boost::listS>*, Vertex_Datum, const Vertex_Datum&, vertex_Datum_t> > >' requested Could somebody point out the problem here?

Using Boost Tuple Library instead of variadic macros
by Barak Simon 23 Sep '04

23 Sep '04

Hi, I am trying to use the Tuple library in order to provide a logging interface which can get a variable number of parameters and handle them in a type-safe manner. However, though constructing a tuple by make_tuple seems easy enough (from a logging's user point of view) implementation wise, I am not sure how to actually iterate on the make_tuple_mapper which is being provided to my logging method, as generically getting the length and using invoking "get" on it does not work due to compile-time reasons (and there are no iterators available). I am sure it must be possible to do it somehow, or else the ostream serialisation capabilities would not have been possible to implement, but I guess I am just not sophisticated enough to fully grasp the MP intricacies... My logging method currently looks like that: template<class TheTuple> inline void logTuple(TheTuple theTuple) { } which might not be the correct way about it, but I was not sure how to explicitly provide a tuple type that's created by make_tuple, let alone how to iterate on the values. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Barak _________________ Barak Simon GED IT Core Platform Deutsche Bank 190 George St. Sydney, 2000 Phone +61 2 925 85070 Fax +61 2 925 95050 -- This e-mail may contain confidential and/or privileged information.

Re: A boost.graph edge problem

Have a look at your compare operator! It orders two pairs of values (A,B)(C,D) like this: (A<B) || (!(A<B) && (C<D)) this expession equals: (A<B) || (C<D) lets consider the test case: (1,2) (2,1) Your operator will return return true in whatever order this pair is compared...

A boost.graph edge problem
by Jeffrey Holle 22 Sep '04

22 Sep '04

I'm using boost 1.31.0 and gcc 3.4.2. While this problem is more of an application code problem, since I got no help on other lists, I trying this one with hopes of a response. I need to identify parallel edges from my graph, which is defined as: typedef subgraph<adjacency_list<vecS, vecS, bidirectionalS, property<vertex_index_t,int,VertexProperty>, EdgeProperty> > DataGraphT; typedef boost::graph_traits <DataGraphT>::edge_descriptor DataEdge; In the test case that I'm working on, I know I have parallel edges, actually 4 sets of 3. I'd like to use this code: DataGraph::handleParallelEdges(void) { typedef multiset<DataEdge,ltSubgraph> Edges; Edges edges; graph_traits<DataGraphT>::edge_iterator ei,ei_end; for (tie(ei,ei_end)=boost::edges(dataGraph_);ei!=ei_end;++ei) edges.insert(*ei); for (Edges::const_iterator iter = edges.begin(); iter != edges.end(); advance(iter,edges.count(*iter))) if (edges.count(*iter)>1) cout << "See duplicate" << endl; } However, when count never returns. The likely cause of this (I suspect) is the ltSubgraph functor. Its definition is: struct ltSubgraph : public std::binary_function<DataEdge,DataEdge,bool> { bool operator() (const DataEdge& s1, const DataEdge& s2) const { return s1.m_source < s2.m_source || (!(s1.m_source < s2.m_source) && s1.m_target < s2.m_target); } }; I say this because I can see that this functor is being continuously called in this infinite loop. Note that I use this functor in multiple other cases, but not with an associate container that allows duplicate keys. Is there a problem with this code?

boost graph meant to contain classes and functions?
by Stephen torri 22 Sep '04

22 Sep '04

I see that the boost graph library is used to contain data but can it be used to contain a class which a visitor moves along the graph per a preset algorithm calling interfacing functions as it moves along? Here is an example. class Color_Base { virtual ~Color_Base(){} virtual std::string get_Name () = 0; }; class Red : Color_Base { virtual ~Red (){} virtual std::string get_Name () { return std::string("Red"); } }; class Yellow : Color_Base { virtual ~Yellow (){} virtual std::string get_Name () { return std::string("Yellow"); } }; class Blue : Color_Base { virtual ~Blue (){} virtual std::string get_Name () { return std::string("Blue"); } }; So we could have a graph like | Blue -- Red | / | / | / Yellow I have a visitor called Color_Visitor which has the following pseudo code: for each vertice in graph visit vertice call get_Name() print result Stephen -- Email: storri(a)torri.org

No defines using bjam on Windows with msvc
by Phillip Seaver 21 Sep '04

As I said in an earlier post, I'm trying to start using jam for our projects. I'm using Boost.Jam ver 3.1.4. When I build on Windows with TOOLS=msvc and use "bjam -d2", the command-line doesn't have any define flags on it. Several of our source files rely on "WIN32", e.g. to determine the platform. Has anyone seen this before? I feel like I'm overlooking something obvious, but I haven't been able to figure it out. Here's the beginning of the output from "bjam -d2": ***** ...found 156 targets... ...updating 11 targets... vc-Cc ..\..\libs\ETSopt\bin\libetsopt.lib\msvc\debug\runtime-link-dynamic\etsopt .obj "cl" /Zm800 -nologo -c /Z7 /Od /Ob0 /GX /GR /MDd -I"..\..\libs\ETSopt" -I"C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~2\VC98\include" -Fo"..\..\libs\ETSopt\bin\libetsopt.lib\ msvc\debug\runtime-link-dynamic\etsopt.obj" "etsopt.c" etsopt.c ***** Thanks in advance, Phillip

Re: [Boost-users] [Linker error] undefined reference to`boost::gregorian::greg_month::as_short_string() const'
by aqsis＠mail.tele2.co.uk 21 Sep '04

I understand what you mean now. In that case you would need to pass the filter name into the DSO function as a parameter. So your DSO declaration would look like... SHADEOP_TABLE(shadeopname) = { { "float shadeopname_fs(float, string)", "", "" }, . . }; And the argv[] argument passed to the method would contain the filter name as it's second value, i.e. SHADEOP(shadeopname_fs) { float *result = (float *)argv[0]; float x = *(float *)argv[1]; STRING_DESC *filt = (STRING_DESC *)argv[1]; if(strcmp(filt->s, "box")==0) { /* Filter with a box filter */ . . .

I think Lee Joo-Young is talking about multibyte strings in an encoding such as GB2312 and Shift_JIS that uses 1 or 2 bytes per character rather than wide strings that use a fixed 2 bytes per character on certain platforms (or rather, used to until UTF-16 came along).

You should probably convert them to wide strings and use the wchar_t version instead. The standard C++ library and Boost libraries tend not to work well with multibyte encodings.

boost::serialization problem, derived class through shared_ptr

I'm trying to serialize a derived class through a shared_ptr<> to the base class. I'm getting an unregistered class exception even though my derived class is registered with register_type<>. It seems the exception is being thrown while trying to serialize boost::detail::sp_counted_base which I believe is part of shared_ptr. Could this be an internal error in the serialization library?

Re: [Boost-users] Regex Libraries giving errors
by corey.m.ellis＠comcast.net 18 Sep '04

Thanks for the quick response. Do you know of a workaround that is being used for version 1_31. All the examples say include "boost/regex.hpp". Is there some way I can include the headers so the problem will go away. What's really strange is that I compiled the entire library using the Jam method, and it I got these regex errors. I then compiled the regex libraries using the gcc make file, and use the static libraries when I compiled. It worked. But after I made some more code changes (not regex changes) to my application and recompiled, I started getting the errors again. I thought the gcc compilation fixed it, but it didn't. Anyway, if you could tell me a workaround that would be great. Is it just a matter of trying to include the regex.hpp header first before the regex.h header gets included, have other people seen this problem in the regex library?

Boost problems
by Tom Puverle 18 Sep '04

18 Sep '04

Hey boosters, We have found some problems with the following files: boost_1_31_0/libs/regex/src/cpp_regex_traits.cpp boost_1_31_0/libs/test/src/test_tools.cpp They use definitions from <ios> but never actually include it - they are relying on the fact that in some STLs the headers are pulled in by other header files. Unfortunately, under our STL (RW STL 6.0) this is not the case and hence the files fail to compile. Add the following include line to both to fix the problem: #include <ios> There is another STL related problem in boost_1_31_0/boost/regex/config/cwchar.hpp which manipulates some macros such as iswalnum etc. These are originally pulled in from <wctype.h> and <wchar.h> under /usr/include. With gcc, <cwctype> and <cwchar> undefine these macros as the first thing, however, our STL's headers don't. That leads to compilation errors from the above header. To fix this, add #undef iswalnum #undef iswalpha #undef iswblank #undef iswcntrl #undef iswdigit #undef iswgraph #undef iswlower #undef iswprint #undef iswprint #undef iswpunct #undef iswspace #undef iswupper #undef iswxdigit #undef iswctype #undef towlower #undef towupper #undef towctrans #undef wctrans #undef wctype when RW STL 6.0 is being used. The final problem is more of a feature request: In our environment, we build all shared objects with all external references unresolved, so that a .so A never depends on a shared library B. The symbols get only resolved once the final executable is linked. This causes us problems with boost when building the regression tests, as the final Jam link rule adds all additional libraries *before* the final libboost_*. That way, we end up with unresolved symbols to e.g. our STL. Is there any way in which this requirement could be incorporated into Boost.Build? I guess a simple solution would be to have another variable called e.g. ADDITIONAL_LIBS_LAST which would be passed as the last thing on linker line in the link rule.

Can boost::tokenizer tokenize 2byte character string?
by Lee, Joo-Young 17 Sep '04

17 Sep '04

Hi. I try to use 'boost::tokenizer<boost::char_separator<char> >' to separate 2byte character string like Korean, Japanese, or Chinese. But, I found that it does not works correctly. Is there a solution? Thanks for the help, Lee Joo-Young

Any Win/DOS experts out there who can suggest a correct > fix? NT, 2K and XP maintain "C:\Documents and Settings\<user-name>\Local Settings\Temp" directories for each user. Changing this to C:\Temp could cause problems for users w/out admin privileges. I've no problems with vc7.1 builds, and I imagine a lot of others utilize the same platform and can build as well. So it's not a general problem. The possible sources of this problem could be: - some odd access settings on the directory ( can even occur with admin privilege) - a lot of files in the temp directory from other misbehaving app's - environment variable definitions were mucked up by manual editing - generally mucking about with these dir's by the user can cause problems Jeff F

On a similar note, I also noticed the following: iterator/detail/facade_iterator_category.hpp:# include <boost/python/detail/indirect_traits.hpp> iterator/indirect_iterator.hpp:#include <boost/python/detail/indirect_traits.hpp> It doesn't seem right that iterator should be including headers from python/detail.
