boost with embedded compiler / in embedded area
by Bernhard Merkle 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

Hi, I have the following questions about using boost with embedded compilers / in the embedded area 1. what about embedded c++ compiler support in boost ? I saw on [1] some compilers but my list e.g. is - Metrowerks Codewarrior for PPC (v 8.x unfortunately) but the 9.x seems also to have problems - GreenHills C++ (seems to have the EDG parser, so no problem) - ARM C++ an they are not officially supported. Has anyone tried them or others ? experiences ? AFAIK, boost has some requirements to C++ compilers (especially templates) 2. what parts of boost are you using in your (embedded) area ? What parts would you avoid and what is recommendable ? (e.g. statechart, thread, the whole collection/algorithm things) Any performance/size issues ? TIA and kind regads, Berni [1] http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/CVS-HEAD/developer/summar… <http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/CVS-HEAD/developer/summar…>

file descriptor imitation - boost iostreams
by Michał Nowotka 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

Hi Boosters, I have a function with following interface: int gvRender (GVC_t *gvc, graph_t *g, char *format, FILE *out) but I don't want to store the output in temporary file but to compute everything in memory... (but to store the output to same malloced string and pass it to a display function). Boost is so powerful - so can I solve this problem somehow using boost (C++ doesn't doesn't provide tools to simulate file descriptors )? I know very little about boost iostream would it be helpful? -- Cheers, Michał Nowotka

linking problem with Visual Studio 2005
by Andrea Galeazzi 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

Hi everybody, I'm trying to use boost in a .NET project written in C++ managed. When I build it in Debug version it's everything alright, but when I do it in Release version I've got this error: error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "char __cdecl boost::re_detail::w32_toupper(char,unsigned long)" (?w32_toupper@ re_detail@boost@@$$FYADDK@Z). In particular the error above is generated by the following row: regex_replace(std::string(p1, p2), transformer, replace_string,boost::format_all). So now I'm in a bind because I've completed my application but I cannot distribute it due to the fact that .NET allows to deliver only release version. Can some help me? Cheers

Jamfile to use system boost
by Darren Dale 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

Hi, I am new to boost, working through the quickstart example as documented at http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/building.html . I have gotten to the point where I can move the test project out of the boot source tree, and run the tests by directing the Jamroot back to the boost source tree. The next step I would like to take is to build the test project using my system's boost (version 1.34.1, installed using gentoo's package manager), rather than the svn checkout. This question has been asked on this list before, but was not resolved: http://www.nabble.com/-python--jam-file-to9942060.html#a9942060 . Is it possible to use boost without the boost source tree? If so, what should I look for so I can point my Jamroot to the right place? As it stands, I am stuck in the same place as the previous poster. If gentoo hasn't installed all of the necessary files, maybe I could improve gentoo's handling of the package. Thank you, Darren

Interprocess: which version to use?
by Michael Shepanski 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

Hello, I want to start using boost::interprocess. My needs are fairly modest, so I don't need a large feature set, but reliability is valuable. Also I need it to be compatible with the rest of boost 1.34.1. So which is the best version of interprocess for me to download and use? Thanks, --- Michael

Visual Studio .NET 2008 compiler #defines?
by legalize+jeeves＠mail.xmission.com 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

[Please do not mail me a copy of your followup] I'm using boost 1.34.1 with the Boost Consultants installer. I tried compiling some code with Visual Studio 2008 and of course 1.34.1 doesn't recognize the compiler and prints out a lot of "compiler not recognized" messages. The code seems to compile OK, but obviously the compiler isn't recognized. Are there plans to update the #defines to recognize VS.NET 2008 soon, or should I do something to update the headers? (Would this mean I'd have to recompile all the libs? I'm using the precompiled libs at the moment.)

time_series
by Sebastian Weber 17 Dec '07

17 Dec '07

Hello everyone! I am wondering about the time_series library. It got accepted a while ago and I thought it will be included in boost 1.35.0. However, I can not find time_series in subversion - its not in the trunk, nor in sandbox or any other suspicious places. Only the quite old version in the sandbox on boost-consulting seems to be available. What happened? Can someone enlighten me, please? The library looks really useful and I am willing to use it in my project. Are there any alternatives by the way which can compete with boost.time_series and are as well written in C++? Greetings, Sebastian

Run-time flavors of Boost (aka lib suffix / runtime-options)
by Benoit Sigoure 17 Dec '07

17 Dec '07

Hello list, Boost libraries often ship compiled in various different "flavors" (compiled with different runtime-options). First off, is there an official place where this is documented? I didn't find any, besides the header `boost/config/auto_link.hpp'. Based on this header, I tried to document the suffix used by Boost libraries as follows: > A suffix is one or more of the following letters: sgdpn (in that > order). s = static > runtime, d = debug build, g = debug/diagnostic runtime, p = STLPort > build, > n = (unsure) STLPort build without iostreams from STLPort (it looks > like `n' > must always be used along with `p'). Additionally, it can start > with `mt-' to > indicate for multi-thread builds. Is this accurate? What is a `static runtime'? My guess is that `-s' is Windows-specific, because on Windows it's common to see both shared libraries and static libraries using the same naming scheme `libfoo.lib' (because in the shared library case, `libfoo.lib' is not a directly shared library but rather an import library), can anyone confirm that? This entails that for most UNIX-like OSes, the `-s' variant doesn't exist, it's the `libfoo.a' static archive that is used instead, is that correct?
