In $BOOS_ROOT/boost/config/platform/qnxnto.hpp there are the following default informations: // QNX specific config options: #define BOOST_PLATFORM "QNX" #define BOOST_HAS_UNISTD_H #include <boost/config/posix_features.hpp> // QNX claims XOpen version 5 compatibility, but doesn't have an nl_types.h // or log1p and expm1: #undef BOOST_HAS_NL_TYPES_H #undef BOOST_HAS_LOG1P #undef BOOST_HAS_EXPM1 #define BOOST_HAS_SCHED_YIELD #define BOOST_HAS_PTHREADS #define BOOST_HAS_PTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_SETTYPE #define BOOST_HAS_GETTIMEOFDAY #define BOOST_HAS_CLOCK_GETTIME #define BOOST_HAS_NANOSLEEP At this moment i am using QNX 6.3.2 and i don' t know what is the macro that enables the std lib functions in accordance with POSIX.

[boost::function] how to parametrize? (re-send)
by Pau Garcia i Quiles 10 Apr '08

10 Apr '08

Hello, (There were some errors in the parametrized.cpp source file in my original submission, they are fixed now) I'm trying to implement something like the registerField/field methods of QWizard from Qt ( http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4beta/qwizard.html#registering-and-using-fields ) but without Qt. Long story short, what I'm trying to do is to have a list of member functions I should call to get a value from an instance of a class. There will be *hundreds* of different classes with different accessor methods (sometimes it will be called "value()", others "text()", yet in other cases it may be "isEnabled()"). Return types will also be different, but that's already solved by boost::any. I'm attaching two examples of what I want to achieve: * nonparametrized.cpp: it works fine but it's not parametrized * parametrized.cpp: it's essentially the nonparametrized.cpp code but introducing a new class called "Proxy" which has a "field" method which should receive the parameters boost::function needs. Problem is, for parametrized.cpp I cannot figure what the signature of the "field" method (line 27) should be in order to call it for different objects (see lines 48, 61 and 74). I'm not even sure I need to specify those three parameters! Can you help me? Code can be compiled against Boost 1.34.1 (not tested against 1.35.0) with: g++ -o nonparametrized nonparametrized.cpp -lboost_signals Thank you. -- Pau Garcia i Quiles http://www.elpauer.org (Due to my workload, I may need 10 days to answer)

Re: [Boost-users] Boost.Exception
by Emil Dotchevski 10 Apr '08

10 Apr '08

I assume that it will be in the 1.36 release. Until then, you can get it from the current Boost development code at http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/. The only thing missing from there at the moment is the new behavior of boost::throw_exception as described here: http://revergestudios.com/boost-exception/throw_exception.html. This will be added as soon as I finish working on minor compile errors and workarounds for various compilers/platforms (probably by the end of this week due to slow turnaround of the tests on some platforms.) -- Emil Dotchevski Reverge Studios, Inc. http://www.revergestudios.com/reblog/index.php?n=ReCode --------------- From: Olaf Peter <ope-devel <at> gmx.de> Subject: Boost.Exception Newsgroups: gmane.comp.lib.boost.user Date: 2008-04-10 06:08:18 GMT (15 hours and 52 minutes ago) with interest I did follow the discussion about boost.exeception some times ago. At http://www.revergestudios.com/boost-exception/boost-exception.html I read: Note: Boost Exception was accepted as a Boost library on November 7, 2007; however it has not yet been part of an official Boost release. Why is it not in release 1.35?? Is it safe to use it out of the boost distribution (concerning API changes). Thanks, Olaf

Boost ofstream.h include
by Jeffery Cavallaro 10 Apr '08

10 Apr '08

I am just starting to use the filesystem library, so AIA if this has already been covered... It looks like filesystem/fstream.hpp is not included in filesystem.hpp in 1.35.0. In fact, it seems like it is the only include file in the filesystem subdir that doesn't get included in the by including filesystem.hpp. Was this an oversight, on purpose, or did I do something wrong?

[statechart] Running one scheduler in many threads
by Manuel Jung 10 Apr '08

10 Apr '08

Hi, The fifo_scheduler is limited to one execution at a time. I would like a schedule object, which can handle many processors in many threads at the same time. Lika a threadpool, where the threads takeover a fsm, when it has events posted and processes them then. But it should of course only one thread at a time process events from one machine. Maybe someone has done this and can show me his code? Or tell me if this is even possible? Greetings Manuel Jung

Kudos to 1.35.0 release managers
by Jeffery Cavallaro 10 Apr '08

10 Apr '08

All of those people who are responsible for the 1.35.0 release deserve a big round of applause. I was starting to worry about the project getting off track. No more doubts. The new website L&F is slick. The documentation links are complete. The download is complete. Everything looks on track for convergence with C++ 09. Great work people! -- Jeffery Cavallaro, 1055 Joaquin-191A Infrastructure Engineering Google Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043 650-214-2552

Problems with char* serialization
by Ariel Brunetto 10 Apr '08

10 Apr '08

Hello! My name is Ariel and this is my first time with boost. I spent a few days looking arround the serialization library, and right now I have a project with my first serialized classes. I spent some time reading the documentation and the tutorial. I am having problems serializing pointers. I am trying to serialize a const char* and it seems that doesn't work in the trivial way. This is my code: //----------------------------------------------------------------------------- // myserializeclass.h //----------------------------------------------------------------------------- #include <fstream> #include <boost/archive/binary_iarchive.hpp> #include <boost/archive/binary_oarchive.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/base_object.hpp> //----------------------------------------------------------------------------- class MySerializeClass { private: friend class boost::serialization::access; template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int uiVersion) { ar & m_pChar; } // members to serialize public: char* m_pChar; }; //----------------------------------------------------------------------------- BOOST_CLASS_TRACKING(MySerializeAbstractBase, ::boost::serialization::track_never) //----------------------------------------------------------------------------- //----------------------------------------------------------------------------- // myserializeclass.cpp //----------------------------------------------------------------------------- int main() { MySerializeClass MySerializeClassObject; std::ofstream ofs(akFilename); boost::archive::binary_oarchive oa(ofs); oa << MySerializeClassObject; return 0; } //----------------------------------------------------------------------------- It doesn't compile. I get the following error: 1>c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\platformsdk\include\boost\serialization\access.hpp(109) : error C2228: left of '.serialize' must have class/struct/union I know that this is my mistake, but I don't know how to fix it ;). I know that there is a lot of consideration about pointer serialization. Could you point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance! Ariel

Access to underlying system thread
by Yang Zhang 10 Apr '08

10 Apr '08

Hi, I like using boost threads, but I'm currently working on a project where I need to access the private handle to the underlying system thread (in the cases I'm concerned about, the pthread_t). This is so that I can take advantage of platform-specific functionality, such as setting CPU affinity and (more generally) calling into other libraries that expect a pthread_t. Is there any way to do get this handle? Thanks! -- Yang Zhang http://www.mit.edu/~y_z/

[Boost Graph] Undefined symbols when loading a dynamic library using boost graphs
by Toni 10 Apr '08

10 Apr '08

Hi to everyone in the list. First of all, thanks in advance for your help and your time, that I'm pretty sure is very valuable. I will try to describe the problem I'm getting while using boost graph's library. I've been developping an algorithm that makes use of the boost graph library. During the development, I coded everything in a cpp file and made some testing. In this phase all my code was compiled and linked within an executable file and everything worked fine. Imagine that my code was the following one (this code actually does nothing but it is enough to explain the problems I'm experiencing): void f1 (void) { Graph g (100); for (unsigned i = 1; i < 100; i++) boost::add_edge (i - 1, i, g); boost::graph_traits<Graph>::edge_iterator it, it_end; for (boost::tie (it, it_end) = boost::edges (g); (it != it_end); it++); } int main (void) { f1 (); return 0; } This example program compiled, linked and executed fine. Once my code was ready, I decided to integrate this code into the library it should go. This library is a dynamic library that is loaded by another program with dlopen, and some symbols are read from it and used. So, imagine the following scenario (again, very simplified, but enough to explain the problem): main.cc: int main (void) { char* libpath = "mylib.so"; void* handle; handle = dlopen (libpath, RTLD_NOW | RTLD_GLOBAL); // Some symbols are read with dlsym return 0; } mylib.cc: extern "C" bool someFunction (int* data) { // do some things return true; } void f1 (void) { Graph g (100); for (unsigned i = 1; i < 100; i++) boost::add_edge (i - 1, i, g); boost::graph_traits<Graph>::edge_iterator it, it_end; for (boost::tie (it, it_end) = boost::edges (g); (it != it_end); it++); } Both the main program and the library compile fine, but when I try to execute the program I get undefined symbols errors: /home/me/lib/mylib.so: undefined symbol: _ZneIN5boost6detail20undirected_edge_iterISt14_List_iteratorINS0_9list_edgeIjNS0_11no_propertyEEEENS1_14edge_desc_implINS0_14undirected_tagEjEEiEEEiRKT_SE_ If I demangle the symbol I get: c++filt _ZneIN5boost6detail20undirected_edge_iterISt14_List_iteratorINS0_9list_edgeIjNS0_11no_propertyEEEENS1_14edge_desc_implINS0_14undirected_tagEjEEiEEEiRKT_SE_ int operator!=<boost::detail::undirected_edge_iter<std::_List_iterator<boost::list_edge<unsigned int, boost::no_property> >, boost::detail::edge_desc_impl<boost::undirected_tag, unsigned int>, int> >(boost::detail::undirected_edge_iter<std::_List_iterator<boost::list_edge<unsigned int, boost::no_property> >, boost::detail::edge_desc_impl<boost::undirected_tag, unsigned int>, int> const&, boost::detail::undirected_edge_iter<std::_List_iterator<boost::list_edge<unsigned int, boost::no_property> >, boost::detail::edge_desc_impl<boost::undirected_tag, unsigned int>, int> const&) The problem is, I think, that the operator!= is not compiled within the dynamic library for some reason. Any hints or ideas to solve the problem? Thanks again for your time.
