mathematical interval limits
by Tim Blechmann 16 Apr '08

16 Apr '08

hi all, is there a c++/boost.math way to find the highest representable floating point number lower than a certain limit ... something like boost::supremum<float>(1.f)? thanks, tim -- tim(a)klingt.org http://tim.klingt.org Avoid the world, it's just a lot of dust and drag and means nothing in the end.

empty a thread_group
by Axel 16 Apr '08

16 Apr '08

Hello I m using a boost::thread_group instance to handle a limited number of threads. When the thread_group reach a defined size, I cal join_all() on it and I wonder how I could clear it without having to keep a pointer to its threads and call remove_thread() for each one. I thought about destruct th thread_group instance but I m not sure it's a good idea, so any advice is welcome. Regards Axel

boost.function and phoenix.bind
by Sergei Politov 15 Apr '08

15 Apr '08

The following example: ============================================== #include <boost/function.hpp> #include <boost/spirit/phoenix.hpp> int main() { boost::function<void()> f; phoenix::bind(f); } ============================================== Produces compilation warning on MSVC 9.0: C:\work\cpp\bind.cpp : warning C4717: 'phoenix::functor_action<boost::function<void __cdecl(void),std::allocator<void> > >::functor_action<boost::function<void __cdecl(void),std::allocator<void> > >' : recursive on all control paths, function will cause runtime stack overflow And stack overflow in runtime. What is wrong in this example?

boost interprocess: managed_shared_memory overhead
by hgdhfdghsa＠Safe-mail.net 15 Apr '08

15 Apr '08

Hello again, I have one managed_shared_memory, which contains exactly one instance of a certain structure, allocated via MySegment.find_or_construct<TheClass>(interprocess::unique_instance)(...); How can I determine how big the segment must be? interprocess::managed_shared_memory ConfigurationManagerSegment(interprocess::open_or_create, "sharedMem", sizeof(TheClass)+x); //What should be x? Thank you

string boost::split
by Dmitry Teslenko 15 Apr '08

15 Apr '08

Hello! For example I want to split string with single char '\t' delimeter. According to docs this can be done this way: std::vector<std::string> options; std::string sep; sep += '\t'; boost::split(options, line, boost::is_any_of(sep)); But if I want to use double tab as a delimiter? Is there an alternative to boost::is_any_of like "boost::just_what_i_say"

[serialization] Is anybody else having problems building serialization?
by John Femiani 15 Apr '08

Hi, I am having problems building the serialization library with svn HEAD. I checked out the boost trunk into C:/JOHN/hvm/src/boost, and recently I began seeing this when I build boost with vc8.0: C:\JOHN\hvm\src\boost>..\..\bin\bjam --build-type=complete --stagedir=..\..\ threading=multi link=static --toolset=msvc --with-serialization stage libs\config\test\Jamfile.v2:41: in modules.load rule compile-fail unknown in module Jamfile</C:/JOHN/hvm/src/boost/libs/config/test>.

boost::serialization - trying to serialize derived class and base class.
by j.c. 15 Apr '08

15 Apr '08

I am writing a packet base class that can be serialized. The class so far looks like: class packet_base { using namespace boost; public: packet_base(); ~packet_base(); friend class boost::serialization::access; template <typename Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version) { ar & m_length; ar & m_type; ar & m_method; } private: uint16_t m_length; uint16_t m_type; uint16_t m_method; }; The question now is how can I derive class A from packet_base and have both packet_base and A's variables serialized? Obviously base_class needs to be archived first so it's variables are at the front of the buffer. Thanks in advance. J

Problem building serialization with gcc mingw 3.4.5
by Markus Svilans 15 Apr '08

15 Apr '08

Dear mailing list, I am having some trouble building Boost 1.35.0, using gcc mingw 3.4.5. When building the serialization library, I get the following error message on many of the files: "wide char i/o not supported on this platform" The bjam command line I used is: bjam --build-dir="C:\boost_1_35_0\built" --toolset=gcc --with-serialization I've looked through some of the Boost configuration header files, and it seems that the BOOST_NO_STD_WSTREAMBUF value is not being #defined. (I was under the impression that gcc mingw 3.4.5 supports wide character i/o, is this correct?) Has anyone else had this problem, and is there a solution to getting serialization to build properly using my gcc compiler? Thanks very much, Markus.

Do I have to use the complete svn trunk? Thanks, Olaf
