[shmem] compile time error with mingw (uint64_t)
by Sascha Lumma 25 Jul '06

25 Jul '06

Hi, Thats my second posting for this error, but in the first one I've done a error in reasoning. I get this error when I try to compile my application with mingw in Windows. ./boost/shmem/sync/xtime.hpp: In function `int boost::shmem::xtime_get(boost::shmem::xtime*, int)': ./boost/shmem/sync/xtime.hpp:91: error: integer constant is too large for "long" type The line which produce this error message is the following. static const boost::uint64_t timespec_to_filetime_offset = (boost::uint64_t)(116444736000000000); Firstly I thought that I've a configuration problem and uint64_t is defined with "long" or "unsigned long" and cannot hold this 64 bit constant, but it was wrong. uint64_t has just like the constant 64 bit - sizeof(boost::uint64_t) returns 8. If I replace boost::uint64_t with "unsigned long long" the same error occures. But unsigned has no sign bit and should hold exactly 64 bit values. I've absolutely no idea. What's wrong??? Thank you in advance for every reply, Sascha

How to build only one library ?
by Hrvoje Ban 25 Jul '06

25 Jul '06

I'm using MinGW and I want to build only Pointer Container library but I can't find way to configure Boost build system (I'm using Jam). Also, I noticed that Jam builds eight version of each library, get it be configured to only make one or two version since I don't need the others?

You can pinpoint where the docs is for that specific task, because you had experience with the library (BTW, that task is just "for example," and I have a lot more doubts regarding the usage of the library). Thanks for the efforts on the library as well as the documentation. I guess it's time for me to refresh our local document cache with the ones on boost.org. :p I think the docs now look a lot more approachable. Sorry for the noise. Regarding the namespace/header file problem, it is not fair to say that all docs had me confused on it. But I did face problems previously when I was going through the references for certain functions I needed. Sometimes, I simply cannot find out the exact namespace/header to use without grepping the source tree (or go back to read the docs in full). Cheers, Freddie

Hi everybody, I came cross the error C2064 "term does not evaluate to a function taking 0 arguments" when I was compiling "boost_1_33_1\boost\numeric\ublas\vector.hpp". The error is referred to the sentence BOOST_UBLAS_INLINE const_iterator (const iterator &it): container_const_reference<self_type> (it ()), it_ (it.it_) {} at line 293. Could anybody help provide hints to solve the problem? Many thanks, Jason

[shmem] error: constant is too large for long type
by Sascha Lumma 25 Jul '06

25 Jul '06

Hi all, I try to port my application to windows and use mingw 3.4.2 (32 bit machine). I get the following error at compilation time and I'm not sure, is that a misconfiguration or bug? ./boost/shmem/sync/xtime.hpp: In function `int boost::shmem::xtime_get(boost::shmem::xtime*, int)': ./boost/shmem/sync/xtime.hpp:89: error: integer constant is too large for "long" type The variable which should take this big decimal number (116444736000000000 -> exactly 32 bit) in line 89 is from type uint64_t and should have 64 bit unsigned. But that isn't so, it's just only long=int type (31 bit). If I look to the definition from uint64_t (boost/cstdint.hpp), there are much possibilities. With the GNU compiler it should be used the unsigned long long type as uint64_t and that are 64 bits. In worst case it should be used a 32 bit unsigned long type. Why I've only a long type? Thank you very much for reply, Sascha

[Date_time] How to Get Started?
by Wu Yinghui, Freddie 25 Jul '06

25 Jul '06

Hi all, I'm just starting to try out Boost.Date_time library. As a newbie, I want to know if there is any good tutorial or "get started" guide somewhere that I can refer to. I've checked out the Data_time library documentation, as well as done some search on Google. Yet I cannot find useful information for an absolute beginner. Simple operation such as "Get the current time in the current time zone, and print it out using ISO format" is not achievable from reading the documentation--It is helpful to an experienced user, but not at all to a newbie. So any hints on how I should get started with Boost.Date_time library? Cheers, Freddie P.S. I found one very annoying fact that most examples in Boost documentation do not indicate the namespace and/or header file to use for all those classes and types. This makes it very difficult for a beginner to get started in general.

Re: [Boost-users] match multiline regular expression
by Ovanes Markarian 25 Jul '06

Winson, Please take a look at the regex character class names at: http://www.boost.org/libs/regex/doc/syntax_perl.html And especially at: http://www.boost.org/libs/regex/doc/character_class_names.html At the second location is written that [[:space:]] char class name is: "Any whitespace character." For [[:blank:]] is written: "Any whitespace character that is not a line separator." So space includes line separators At the first location URL is stated: "Escape sequence Equivalent to \s [[:space:]]" So using \s or [[:space:]] will consider line breaks. Now to the partial expression: Net income per common share:? This will not work as desired since '?' states only for the colon zero or more times to be matched, all other words must be there once. Please read from the first location URL about Perl Extended Patterns, especially: "Non-marking grouping (?:pattern) lexically groups pattern, without generating an additional sub-expression." So in your case you need to write: (?:Net income per common share:)? Non-marking grouping should be used, because you are not interested in remembering this pattern, but would like to ensure, that this pattern is there 0 or more times.
