Program options
by Stephen Henry 12 May '05

12 May '05

Hi all, I am having a small problem with boost's program options library. In the documentation it states that to parse a command file you are suppose to use the "parse_command_file" function as follows: parse_config_file("example.cfg", desc) When attempting this, my compiler (gcc 3.3.3) issues an error stating: decoder.cpp:61: error: no matching function for call to `parse_config_file( const char[12], boost::program_options::options_description&)' It appears that opposed to calling the constructor for basic_istream the compiler attempts to find a function with char[12] as the first argument. To circumvent this error I can do the follow: Std::ifstream in( "config.cfg" ); Parse_config_file( in, desc ); And it works. I would rather use the first method opposed to the second so is there someway for it to be used instead? Thanks, Stephen

Hi. Is the socket library found at: http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl?BoostSocket in the boost repository? Cause on my gentoo, it doesn't seem to be installed. -- Regards, Groleo! # touch universe # chmod +rwx universe # ./universe

Spelling out numbers: One, two, three, etc...
by Chateauneu Remi 11 May '05

11 May '05

Is there any library for spelling out numbers in different languages ? 1: One,Ein,Un 2: Two,Zwei,Deux 3: Three,Drei,Trois ... 97: Ninety-seven,Sieben und neunzig,Quatre-vingt-treize The algorithms are clearly specific to each languages. If it does not exists yet, it would be an interesting cooperation project for the many nationalities of Boost users. -- +++ Lassen Sie Ihren Gedanken freien Lauf... z.B. per FreeSMS +++ GMX bietet bis zu 100 FreeSMS/Monat: http://www.gmx.net/de/go/mail

Can't get "write" to work when using IOStreams with custom streambuf
by Eyal Susser 11 May '05

11 May '05

Hi, Boost is a really neat idea, I wish I had less trouble using it (so embarrasing...). Anyway, here's a streambuf class I wrote using IOStream : class CrIPCStreamOutput : public sink { public: CrIPCStreamOutput(RU8 * pio_pInputStorage , RS32 & pio_nStorageLen) : m_pBuffer(pio_pInputStorage), m_nBufferLen(pio_nStorageLen) { } virtual ~CrIPCStreamOutput() { } void write(const char * s , std::streamsize n) { if(!m_pBuffer) { m_nBufferLen = -1; return; } memcpy(m_pBuffer , s , n); m_nBufferLen = n; return; } private: unsigned char *& m_pBuffer; int & m_nBufferLen; }; In my main, I do: int main() { unsigned char p[256] = {0}; int n = sizeof(p); streambuf_facade<CrIPCStreamOutput> sbo(CrIPCStreamOutput(p , n)); //stream_facade<CrIPCStreamOutput> stro(CrIPCStreamOutput(p , n)); iostream stro(&sbo); stro.write("Hello?" , 6); cout << p << endl; return 0; } But the ouput from cout is an empty string, although when debugging I can see m_pBuffer being copied to. How can I get this to work? The motivation for the whole thing is serialization: I want to serialize a class using the boos.serialization lib, for which I need a stream, which has to have certain properties (not shown here). I need to have the archiver write to a specific buffer. IOStreams should do it (I got the reading side working fine), but how? Thanks.

Hi Robert et all, Ok details. Now that I am able to compile/link/run using that macro Jeff provided I can move on. Quick summary, for legacy reasons we have a structure called ByteArray passed around everywhere. It is simply a public class like this: class ByteArray { public: unsigned char *pArray; int length; int offset; } On our receiving side we have a piece of code like this: // The function argument(s) have to be like this unfortunately. Also pArray is serialized by the sender with code like this but using binary_oarchive OrderedCollection* OrderedCollection::GetOrderedCollection(ByteArray *pArray) // this is a static method, pArray points to valid heap memory { OrderedCollection *pCollection = NULL; std::string astring ((char*) (pArray->pData), pArray->length + pArray->offset); std::istringstream iss(astring); boost::archive::binary_iarchive ia(iss); // exception here in Windows not Linux, below is the reason and call stack is << BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(pCollection); return pCollection; } Again this works in Linux, and I've run it through Valgrind (a linux tool) with no errors or leaks. If there is a better way to construct a binary input archive I'd like to know, im new to stl classes. I get a std::bad_alloc exception, here is the call stack: cmnTest2.exe!boost::archive::basic_binary_iprimitive<boost::archive::binary_iarchive,std::basic_istream<char,std::char_traits<char> > >::load(std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> > & s={...}) Line 93 C++ > cmnTest2.exe!boost::archive::load_access::load_primitive<boost::archive::binary_iarchive,std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> > >(boost::archive::binary_iarchive & ar={...}, std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> > & t={...}) Line 96 C++ cmnTest2.exe!boost::archive::detail::load_non_pointer_type<boost::archive::binary_iarchive,std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> > >::load_primitive::invoke(boost::archive::binary_iarchive & ar={...}, std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> > & t={...}) Line 308 + 0xd C++ cmnTest2.exe!boost::archive::detail::load_non_pointer_type<boost::archive::binary_iarchive,std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> > >::invoke(boost::archive::binary_iarchive & ar={...}, std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> > & t={...}) Line 366 + 0xd C++ cmnTest2.exe!boost::archive::load<boost::archive::binary_iarchive,std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> > >(boost::archive::binary_iarchive & ar={...}, std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> > & t={...}) Line 529 + 0xd C++ cmnTest2.exe!boost::archive::basic_binary_iarchive<boost::archive::binary_iarchive>::load_override<std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> > >() Line 66 + 0x15 C++ cmnTest2.exe!boost::archive::binary_iarchive_impl<boost::archive::binary_iarchive>::load_override<std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> > >() Line 46 C++ cmnTest2.exe!boost::archive::detail::interface_iarchive<boost::archive::binary_iarchive>::operator>><std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> > >(std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> > & t={...}) Line 84 C++ cmnTest2.exe!boost::archive::detail::common_iarchive<boost::archive::binary_iarchive>::init() Line 66 C++ cmnTest2.exe!boost::archive::binary_iarchive_impl<boost::archive::binary_iarchive>::binary_iarchive_impl<boost::archive::binary_iarchive>(std::basic_istream<char,std::char_traits<char> > & is={...}, unsigned int flags=0) Line 60 C++ cmnTest2.exe!boost::archive::binary_iarchive::binary_iarchive(std::basic_istream<char,std::char_traits<char> > & is={...}, unsigned int flags=0) Line 78 + 0x1e C++ cmnTest2.exe!OrderedCollection::GetOrderedCollection(ByteArray * pArray=0x0034c620) Line 111 + 0x14 C++ Thanks, Kauai --- kauai <kauai_diver(a)yahoo.com> wrote: > Date: Wed, 11 May 2005 10:15:34 -0700 (PDT) > From: kauai <kauai_diver(a)yahoo.com> > Subject: Re: [Boost-users] Re: Re: Re: Re: Boost > serializationanddependencynightmares... > To: boost-users(a)lists.boost.org > > > Hi Robert, Jeff, et all, > > Thank you Jeff, using that macro helped, I can now build > with the Microsoft compiler.

Question
by Sliwa, Przemyslaw (London) 11 May '05

11 May '05

All, I have a question with regards more to the C++ than Boost. I would like to write a template which depending on the argument type does different things. For example the pseudo code: template <class T, class C> foo(T& nT, C& nC) { // common code; if(T==C) // specific code; ..... // again common code; } Can the template meta programming help me in this case? Sorry, I have no experice with this and I am just guessing. Do you have any suggestions?

Hi Robert, Jeff, et all, Thank you Jeff, using that macro helped, I can now build with the Microsoft compiler. Now getting some sort of exception in my serialization code. I am looking into that today, have to setup my visual studio and debugger :) And will get back to you all a bit later...

Boost Logging Library 1.3 troubles
by Ormond, Randy (Mission Systems) 11 May '05

11 May '05

Hi, If I'm following the threads correctly, it looks like John Torjo's logging library may become an official part of Boost someday. It certainly seems to be perfect for my needs. But I'm having all sorts of trouble on Red Hat with gcc 3.2.2-5. I had to modify some source to avoid compile errors, which has me worried given my lack of expertise. In log.hpp, I had to change (sorry, I can't paste in code or compiler output, this is typed in) template<bool is_compile_time, bool is_enabled> struct logger_keeper_is_enabled... to template<bool is_compile_time, bool is_enabledInput> struct logger_keeper_is_enabled... to avoid shadowing is_enabled in ts_posix.hpp, I had to change the mutex ctr from mutex() : m_mutex(0) {... to mutex() {... This seems OK because m_mutex is initialized in the ctr body. After making those changes, I tried the example in the basic_usage.html. It hangs on the first call to BOOST_DEFINE_LOG. I traced it with gdb to find_log_by_name() at log_manager.cpp:294. From there, it goes to the logger_info ctr. It hangs in lwm_pthreads.hpp:72 in the scoped_lock ctr, apparently trying to get a lock. Of course my mods to the source and general lack of insight have me worried. I expect difficulties as an "early adopter" but any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW, is anyone else trying to use this yet? Thanks, Randy

RE: [Boost-users] Re: Serialize templates classes > automatique exportdeclaration
by Olivier Vanden Bos 11 May '05

I am not sure of my fact, but can we do it dynamically , as the macro call extended_type_info::self_register() and void extended_type_info::key_register(const char *key_). I ve read in the list some stuff about registering templates like this... template<class> struct pack; template<class T> struct pack<void (T)> { typedef T type; }; BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT( pack<void (DerivedStatus< Algo<int, double > >)>::type ); Can we mix that together to achieve this goal ? In fact, I don't care if we register the type each time we call, I know it s not optimal , but at this point I can live with it... void Add() { B<int>* objectToAdd= new B<int>(0) BoostRegister(B<int>); array.push_back(objectToAdd); } - VDB - "LNK1210: exceeded internal ILK size limit" ________________________________ From: boost-users-bounces(a)lists.boost.org [mailto:boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org] On Behalf Of Robert Ramey Sent: 11 mai 2005 02:22 To: boost-users(a)lists.boost.org Subject: [Boost-users] Re: Serialize templates classes > automatique exportdeclaration I don't know how to avoid this either. If you figure out how to do this let me know Robert Ramey And when i archive the array in another .cpp the exception is raised, because the class B<int> as not been exported. I would like to avoid explicitly declare BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_GUID(B<int>, "B_int") For each instanciation of B<> somewhere in the glo bal space.
