Correctlt installing libboost*
by Robert Denton 17 Jan '09

17 Jan '09

Hi there. I am attempting to get the facebook thrift/scribe framework installed on an ubuntu 8.10 server which requires boost and libboost. I thought I'd installed boost correctly, simply by downloading the most recent tarball and doing a ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/boost and then a make install (which took about 30 minutes). However, when attempting to configure scribe with the following params, ./configure --with-boost=/usr/local/boost -with-boost-system=boost_system-gcc42-mt-1_37 -with-boost-filesystem=boost_filesystem-gcc42-mt-1_37 I ended up with an error like this as the last line of the configure output: configure: error: Could not link against boost_system-boost_system-gcc42-mt1_37 ! I am wondering if this is a known problem with this version of boost, or if anyone who listens to this list might have some advice for me. Thanks!

[graph] topological sort of subgraph?
by Emit Sorrels 16 Jan '09

16 Jan '09

Hello, Using the File Dependency sample as an example, if I wanted the topo sorted list of dependencies for *just* libfoobar.a, is there an obvious way to do it without constructing another mini graph and calling topological_sort on it? TIA, Emit

Re: [Boost-users] [serialization] link error and exception onget_key
by Daniel Roberts 16 Jan '09

16 Jan '09

I got the test to work but in my own code I am getting an "unregistered void cast" exception when trying to serialize the derived type. I moved the relevant classes into a separate test and made sure everything was identical to the test I made that does work (e.g. macro placement, include order) and I still get the exception. If I move the derived class definition into the header file it works. The function definitions don't even have to be inlined, they just need to be in the header. This is very weird. I am not sure you can help but if you have any ideas I would appreciate it. Thanks, Daniel Roberts I just separated things out and things seemed to work fine. The only thing that might or might not be an issue is header order: #include <boost/serialization/type_info_implementation.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/extended_type_info_no_rtti.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/export.hpp> #include "polymorphic_derived1.hpp" BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT(polymorphic_derived1) const char * polymorphic_derived1::get_key() const { return boost::serialization::type_info_implementation< polymorphic_derived1 >::type::get_const_instance().get_key(); } Notice I specified extended_type_info_no_rtti.hpp before export.hpp. If I remember correctly, if no type id system header is specified before export is encountered the system may take the rtti one as the default. Since we're not using defaults in this example, its probably not an issue. As far as I know, no one has ever asked a question about using EXPORT without rtti before - at least no one has ever had any questions about it. You may be treading new ground here. Robert Ramey

boost concept creation
by Zach 16 Jan '09

16 Jan '09

Can someone give me a high level explanation of the idea behind how concepts work? I'm trying to write a new concept class which enforces that two types are the same and it's not quite clicking. Strangely gcc has this concept built in, so I was surprised that boost didn't. I noticed a boost::is_same<> template, but it's not a concept, so it's not usable inside a BOOST_CONCEPT_ASSERT() macro.

[Singleton] When CRTP won't work
by Alexander 16 Jan '09

16 Jan '09

The current version of Boost candidate Signelton as well as other implementation is CRTP base. However, one may want to use it as local class my_class& get_something(std::string const& param) { struct local : singleton<local> { ... }; return local::instance->some_method(param); }

can't build threads on msvc-7.1
by Larry E. Ramey 16 Jan '09

16 Jan '09

I can't build the thread library. I have no idea why. ( What gregorian date is doing in the thread lib eludes me ) I have changed boost/config/user.hpp to #define BOOST_ALL_DYN_LIN, of course, that shouldn't effect threads.... but whatever....

Why there are accepted libraries that doesn't included in boost distribution yet ?
by Kamil Zubair 16 Jan '09

16 Jan '09

I just perused the formal review lists in boost website and I noticed there are some libraries like scope exit and factory that's been flagged as accepted but not in included in current boost distribution. Why is that ? One more thing, where can I find information about libraries that will be added to the next boost release ? Selalu bersama teman-teman di Yahoo! Messenger.

ASIO COM Port & Pins
by Jens Weller 16 Jan '09

16 Jan '09

Hi, I have to read from an (virtual) comport to receive the event from a photosensor. There is no protocol, just if something passes through, there is at pin x power (pins 4,6 and 7,8). I've seen the example for the COM Port usage with asio, sofar I've not seen anything to monitor a single/multiple pins. http://www.nabble.com/Simple-serial-port-demonstration-with-boost-asio-asyn… Also I am not sure, if I need to, would it be enough, to just connect and then perform an async_read on the comport? Actually I don't have to get the data really, as its probably not really "data", all I need to know is when data comes in. Is asio the right library to handle this? Are there other options? regards Jens Weller -- Psssst! Schon vom neuen GMX MultiMessenger gehört? Der kann`s mit allen: http://www.gmx.net/de/go/multimessenger
