[boost::lexical_cast] problems casting hex numbers
by Ovanes Markarian 19 Feb '07

19 Feb '07

Thanks a lot for lexical_cast it is a very useful function. Currenlty I face a problem with it and I think it would be useful addon ;) Unfortunately it can not be used (or I was unable to figure out how) to cast hex or octal numbers from strings to numeric. If it is not possible, are there some concerns which disallow this? the expression: lexical_cast<size_t>("0x015e") throws a bad_lexical_cast With Kind Regards, Ovanes

BoostCon 2007 update
by David Abrahams 19 Feb '07

19 Feb '07

A couple of quick items: 1. The conference format has changed. For many practical reasons, the "two 3-day tracks with one day of overlap on Wednesday" format proved unworkable. Among those: * Many (most) sessions don't fall neatly into the library-user/library-developer track distinction. We see this as a good thing, as it means we have more material that's of broad interest. * It made the hotel reservation pattern very difficult; we were afraid many people would be shut out of rooms at the conference hotel and also that the hotel would not be able sell the entire reserved room block, which could cost the (non-profit) conference a lot of money, as we had to agree to be liable for unsold room nights. Instead, we're running two tracks concurrently all week. We thought attendees should be prepared for that change. 2. We expect the new boostcon website will go live and registration for the conference will open in the next couple of days. We're just clearing away a few final details. In the meantime, the existing http://www.boostcon.com has the old information. Regards, and see you at BoostCon, -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com

Boost::Date_Time -New IO Tutorial
by Steve Johns 19 Feb '07

19 Feb '07

Jeff, Thanks for your answers to my earlier posts. This is a great library, and I'm enjoying learning it. :^) I notice here: http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/libraries/date_time/release_1_33/date_t… that a tutorial on the new IO is supposed to be found here: libs/date_time/examples/tutorial This dir is not part of my Boost distro. Is there a URL I can use to access this?

Problem in building boost 1_33_1 on solaris 5.9
by Shobha_Hubballi＠i2.com 19 Feb '07

19 Feb '07

Hi, I am trying to build boost1_33_1 on solaris 2.9 with CC 5.5 compiler. Libraries like filesystem, serialization, program_options are not built. But other libraries like thread are built perfectly. The libraries which I am not able build I am getting following same error for all libraries /data/tdm/boost_1_33_1/boost/iterator/iterator_facade.hpp", line 838: Error: Could not find a match for boost::iterator_core_access::equal<boost::iterator_core_access::Facade1, boost::iterator_core_access::Facade2>(const boost::filesystem::path::iterator, const boost::filesystem::path::iterator, boost::is_convertible<boost::filesystem::path::iterator, boost::filesystem::path::iterator>). "/opt3/SUNWspro/prod/include/CC/Cstd/./algorithm.cc", line 2370: Where: While instantiating "boost::operator!=<boost::filesystem::path::iterator, const std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char>>, boost::bidirectional_traversal_tag, const std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char>>&, int, boost::filesystem::path::iterator, const std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char>>, boost::bidirectional_traversal_tag, const std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char>>&, int>(const boost::iterator_facade<boost::filesystem::path::iterator, const std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char>>, boost::bidirectional_traversal_tag, const std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char>>&, int>&, const boost::iterator_facade<boost::filesystem::path::iterator, const std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char>>, boost::bidirectional_traversal_tag, const std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char>>&, int>&)". Please tell me how to solve this problem Thanks

[Program option] Parsing string to vector<string>
by Seweryn Habdank-Wojewódzki 19 Feb '07

19 Feb '07

Dear all I have question. to the type of object stored in variables_map. In the example multiple_sources.cpp There is line: config.add_options() //... ("include-path,I", po::value< vector<string> >()->composing(), "include path") ; But independently of the case all time result vector has size = 1, so in fact above is equivalent: config.add_options() //... ("include-path,I", po::value< string >()->composing(), "include path") ; And still there is some parsing job to do. How can it be improved? I have tested this example using config file like below: # # Comment out this line to use hard-coded default value of 10 # optimization = 1 include-path = /opt /usr /home/ Regards. -- |\/\/| Seweryn Habdank-Wojewódzki `\/\/'

vc8 / 2005 linker problems in program_options
by Andrew Schweitzer 19 Feb '07

19 Feb '07

I'm having problems building programs with program_options and vc8/2005. I'm getting linker errors... any suggestions? I suspect I'm doing something obvious wrong. Linking against 1.33.1, I have $(BOOST_ROOT)\bin\boost\libs in "Additional Library directories". I get "already defined" and "unresolved" errors when I try to use program_options code that builds in vc71. For example: //no problem here... #include <boost/program_options.hpp> using namespace std; using namespace boost; using namespace boost::program_options; void func() { //but with this I get linker errors variables_map l_vm; } //...such as: 1>libboost_program_options-vc80-mt-gd-1_33_1.lib(variables_map.obj) : error LNK2005: "class std::basic_ostream<char,struct std::char_traits<char> > & __cdecl std::operator<<<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >(class std::basic_ostream<char,struct std::char_traits<char> > &,class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> > const &)" (??$?6DU?$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@1@@std@@YAAAV?$basic_ostream@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@@0@AAV10@ABV?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@0@@Z) already defined in msvcprtd.lib(MSVCP80D.dll) //and: 1>libboost_program_options-vc80-mt-gd-1_33_1.lib(options_description.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: class std::reverse_iterator<class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >::const_iterator> __thiscall std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >::rbegin(void)const " (__imp_?rbegin@?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@std@@QBE?AV?$reverse_iterator@Vconst_iterator@?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@std@@@2@XZ) referenced in function "public: bool __thiscall boost::program_options::option_description::match(class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> > const &,bool)const " (?match@option_description@program_options@boost@@QBE_NABV?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@std@@_N@Z) Any suggestions?

Hi there. When I run bjam 3.1.12 or 3.1.13, bjam crashes. Any ideas, suggestions? I wouldn't be surprised if I'm doing something obvious wrong.

When bjam is run on the examples folder on fedora core 4 it generates linker errors. Such as: ../../../bin/boost/libs/interprocess/example/process_a_example/gcc/release/runtime-link-static/process_a_example.o(.text+0x340): In function `main': process_a_example.cpp: undefined reference to `sem_post' NB: Does this help?

Boost compilation error
by Gunjan 18 Feb '07

18 Feb '07

I am not able to compile Boost libraries through command line (gcc compiler on Windows). It is giving the error: fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'boost/config.hpp': No such file or directory I searched on the net and found this is a common problem and should get solved by adding the path for Boost libraries to the include environment variable. But it is not happening. My observation is that its not identifying the path correctly. If I change the path manually (changing it to ‘”config.hpp” instead of <boost/config.hpp>), it proceeds with compilation. But that is not desired and practical. Can someone help me solving this problem? Thanks in advance.

[Program options] Some questions about composing.
by Seweryn Habdank-Wojewódzki 18 Feb '07

18 Feb '07

Hi all Is that possible to use "unsigned int" type in: config.add_options() ("source-columns,c", po::value< vector<unsigned int> >()->composing(), "List of columns. Can be: 1 2 34 5 2."); If I change "unsigned int" to "std::string" it works good. I mean I can use: -c 1 2 34 5 2 and it works. Regards. -- |\/\/| Seweryn Habdank-Wojewódzki `\/\/'
