[Boost-users] Compile on OSX hangs, huge memory usage, xml_grammar.o
by Stian Soiland 19 Jan '05

19 Jan '05

Tried to build boost_1_32_0 on OSX today, but the build process brought the machine to trashing, as cc1plus ended up using all available memory. The problem seems related to libs/serialization - removing it made the rest of boost build almost OK. Here are the details: Mac OS X 10.3.7, with gcc version 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1666) Lots of programs from fink installed to /sw Lots of programs from opendarwin installed to /opt 1. port install boost-jam (3.1.10) 2. Downloaded boost_1_32_0.tar.bz2 from boost.org and unpacked 3. bjam -sTOOLS=darwin stage 4. Start top in another terminal 5. Wait some hours until your hard drive starts to make crazy noises 6. Last bjam output will be: darwin-C++-action bin/boost/libs/serialization/build/libboost_serialization.a/darwin/ release/xml_grammar.o Top will show something like: Processes: 88 total, 2 running, 1 stuck, 85 sleeping... 223 threads 17:46:32 Load Avg: 1.72, 1.89, 1.45 CPU usage: 9.5% user, 30.2% sys, 60.3% idle SharedLibs: num = 131, resident = 7.25M code, 404K data, 136K LinkEdit MemRegions: num = 28961, resident = 896M + 2.28M private, 16.7M shared PhysMem: 111M wired, 601M active, 300M inactive, 1013M used, 10.6M free VM: 7.65G + 88.6M 1116924(79) pageins, 1865004(459) pageouts PID COMMAND %CPU TIME #TH #PRTS #MREGS RPRVT RSHRD RSIZE VSIZE 28631 cc1plus 11.5% 1:51.55 1 12 16184 842M- 804K 543M- 1.09G+ 28630 g++-3.3 0.0% 0:00.03 1 11 18 0K 264K 76K 21.8M 28628 bjam 0.0% 0:07.44 1 12 52 4K 264K 92K 31.2M rm -rf libs/serialization to avoid problem. But I guess some people actually need those xml-grammars.. -- Stian Søiland You can't say civilization don't Trondheim, Norway advance, however, for in every war http://www.soiland.no/ they kill you in a new way.

[stringalgo] Tokenizer with string delimiters?
by Stefan Slapeta 19 Jan '05

19 Jan '05

Hi, please could anybody tell if it's possible to use split() to tokenize a string where the token delimiters are strings of - n characters, e.g. "\r\n" - m..n characters, e.g. "\n" _or_ "\r\n" If not, are there alternatives? Thanks, Stefan

(de)serializing vector<const A*>
by Zoltan Szatmary 18 Jan '05

18 Jan '05

Hello could you help please? what is the easiest way to (de)serialize a member of type vector<const A*> (A being a base class)? Serializing is fine, but deserialization fails to compile since the vector deserialization code tries to deserialize a const A* pointer without const_cast-ing it (I guess). Thank you in advance Zoltan

mpl::sequence question

Hello meta programmers, I am looking for a way to extract a sub sequence of a given type list by identifying the begin/end of the sub sequence by the corresponding iterators <code> #include <boost/mpl/vector.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/for_each.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/less.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/greater.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/and.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/find.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/lambda_fwd.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/lambda.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/placeholders.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/if.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/copy.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/copy_if.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/remove_if.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/back_inserter.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/transform.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/push_back.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/int.hpp> // these namespace clauses are motivated from "C++ Template Metaprogramming" by D.Abrahams,A.Gurtovoy: namespace mpl = boost::mpl ; using mpl::placeholders; // But why do I still need to type 'mpl::_1' instead of plain '_1' ? // here is my type list typedef mpl::vector<int,double,std::string > my_types; // from_pos and to_pos are start and end iterators of the subsequence typedef typename mpl::find<my_types,int>::type from_pos; typedef typename mpl::find<my_types,std::string>::type to_pos; // all elements (types) of my_types should be copied into the new seuqence my_sub_types if their iterator (index) is inside the given interval (from_pos,to_pos) typedef mpl::copy_if<my_types, mpl::and_< mpl::greater< mpl::find<my_types,mpl::_1>::type, mpl::int_<from_pos> > , mpl::less< mpl::find<my_types,mpl::_1>::type, mpl::int_<to_pos> > >, mpl::back_inserter< mpl::vector<> > >::type my_sub_types; </code> This code (and lots of slight variations) does not compile. Why ? Any hint (conceptual,syntactical,etc.) is welcome ! regards,Martin. <martin(a)pasdzierny.de>

boost::tokenizer problems with Sun CC 5.3

i'm writing on a programm which uses the boost date_time library [boost-version = 1.32.0] heavily; while i normally programm in linux using gcc-3.3.5 i also need to compile my program in windows from time to time. because it makes life easier with another library [gtkmm-2.4.8] i'm using mingw-3.4.2; everthing worked fine (my code contains about 10 000 lines using boost_date_time) until i started using a boost::gregorian::year_based_generator. while gcc-3.3.5 in liux accepts my code without even a single warning [with -Wall], mingw-3.4.2 complains - it seems that the compiler has problems with year_based_generator: calendar.hpp:60: error: variable or field `insertGenerator' declared void calendar.hpp:60: error: expected `;' before '(' token calendar.hpp:92: error: expected `)' before '*' token calendar.hpp:95: error: using-declaration for non-member at class scope calendar.hpp:95: error: expected `;' before '*' token here is the header: /* This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

spirit (boost 1.32.0) grammar.ipp won't compile
by Sergey Skorniakov 18 Jan '05

Hello, All! I had tryed to compile some code with Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 14.00.2207 for AMD64 (from Server 2003 DDK) and got an error: C:\boost_1_32_0\boost\spirit\core\non_terminal\impl\grammar.ipp(308) : error C2784: 'std::mem_fun_t<_R,_Ty> std::mem_fun(_R (__cdecl _Ty::* ) (void))' : could not deduce template argument for 'T1 (__cdecl T2::* )(void)' from 'int (__cdecl boost::spirit::impl::grammar_helper_base<GrammarT>::* )(GrammarT *)' with [ GrammarT=boost::spirit::grammar<boost::archive::basic_xml_grammar<wchar_t>>::self_t ] Just changing std::mem_fun(&helper_base_t::undefine) to std::mem_fun1(&helper_base_t::undefine) resolves this problem. Modified successfully compiles under VC7.1, too. With best regards, Sergey.
