Compiling Boost with PGI
by Ruediger Berlich 23 Apr '09

23 Apr '09

Hi there, I am trying to port my heavily Boost-based application to different compiler(-versions) . I was successful with Intel and various Linux-based gcc versions so far. Now I am trying my luck with the Portland group compiler in version 8. Corresponding compiler support seems to be available in Boost: ./tools/build/v2/tools/pgi.jam ./boost/config/compiler/pgi.hpp A "./configure --with-toolset=pgi" succeeds. The subsequent make, however, results in a plethora of error messages such as the following: gcc.compile.c++ bin.v2/libs/math/build/gcc/release/threading-multi/nextafter.o /bin/sh: line 1: -ftemplate-depth-128: command not found -ftemplate-depth-128 -O3 -finline-functions -Wno-inline -Wall -pthread -fP IC -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1 -DBOOST_MATH_TR1_DYN_LINK=1 -DNDEBUG -I"." -c -o "bin. v2/libs/math/build/gcc/release/threading-multi/nextafter.o" "libs/math/build/../ src/tr1/nextafter.cpp" Looking into the pgi configuration files makes it appear as if the pgi support isn't finished yet. E.g. pgi.jam has a commented-out line # flags pgi.compile OPTIONS <threading>multi : -mt ; Indeed, pgCC does not accept this switch: $ pgCC -mt pgCC-Error-Unknown switch: -mt The above error message also makes it appear as if gcc options (e.g. "-Wall -pthread") are passed to pgCC. Can anyone comment on the status of PGI support by Boost ? The above happens on a system whose /etc/redhat-release states "Scientific Linux SL Release 4.0 (Beryllium)". The kernel is 2.6.9-42 . Scientific Linux is a Fedora-derivative, being used mostly in particle physics. Thanks and Best Regards, Ruediger

error while compiling application that uses a static lib that uses boost
by ChristinaDRS 23 Apr '09

23 Apr '09

Greetings all, I have a library called test which has a class that uses boost thread and mutex. here is how the includes in my .h file look: #include <boost/thread/mutex.hpp> #include <boost/thread.hpp> and here are the private vars: boost::mutex connectedPeersMutex_; boost::thread* listenThread_; in the .cpp file i have I use: #include <boost/bind.hpp> Now here is how I built my library with this Makefile: SRC = test1.cpp test2.cpp OBJ = $(SRC:.cpp=.o) OUT = libtest.a INCLUDES = -I. -I$$BOOST_ROOT CCFLAGS = -g CCC = g++ LDFLAGS = -g .SUFFIXES: .cpp default: $(OUT) .cpp.o: $(CCC) $(INCLUDES) $(CCFLAGS) -c $< -o $@ $(OUT): $(OBJ) ar rcs $(OUT) $(OBJ) clean: rm -f $(OBJ) $(OUT) Makefile.bak now I try to build a second application that simply uses the libtest.a like this: $ g++ -I ~/boost_1_38_0/ -I. main.cpp -omain -L/usr/local/lib/ -L. -ltest -lboost_thread-gcc41-mt-1_38 ./libtest.a(test1.o): In function `test1::StartServer(int, std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, int)': /home/chris/test1.cpp:337: undefined reference to `boost::thread::thread(boost::function0<void, std::allocator<boost::function_base> > const&)' ./libtest.a(test1.o): In function `~ test1': /home/chris/test1.cpp:36: undefined reference to `boost::mutex::~mutex()' /home/chris/test1.cpp:36: undefined reference to `boost::mutex::~mutex()' /home/chris/test1.cpp:36: undefined reference to `boost::mutex::~mutex()' /home/chris/test1.cpp:36: undefined reference to `boost::mutex::~mutex()' /home/chris/test1.cpp:36: undefined reference to `boost::mutex::~mutex()' ./libtest.a(test1.o):/home/chris/test1.cpp:36: more undefined references to `boost::mutex::~mutex()' follow ./libtest.a(test1.o): In function `test1': /home/chris/test1.cpp:8: undefined reference to `boost::mutex::mutex()' /home/chris/test1.cpp:8: undefined reference to `boost::mutex::mutex()' ./libtest.a(test1.o): In function `boost::detail::thread::lock_ops<boost::mutex>::lock(boost::mutex&)': /usr/include/boost/thread/detail/lock.hpp:33: undefined reference to `boost::mutex::do_lock()' ./libtest.a(test1.o): In function `boost::detail::thread::lock_ops<boost::mutex>::unlock(boost::mutex&)': /usr/include/boost/thread/detail/lock.hpp:45: undefined reference to `boost::mutex::do_unlock()' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Any idea why I am getting these undefined references?

how to use boost.phoenix with std:for_each?
by Bruce Laing 23 Apr '09

23 Apr '09

Hi, I would like to do something like this: struct a_name { std::string name; }; a_name names[] = { std::string("one"), std::string("two") }; std::for_each( &names[0], &names[1], if_(1) [ std::cout << arg1.name ] ); but VC8 complains "error C2039: 'name' : is not a member of 'boost::phoenix::actor<Eval>'" Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? Thanks for your insights, - Bruce

[statechart] Question about do activities
by Bill Clark 22 Apr '09

22 Apr '09

In the boost::statechart documentation, on the UML mapping page, it says this about do activities: “A do activity can be simulated with a separate thread that is started in the entry action and cancelled (!) in the exit action of a particular state.” What's the significance of the exclamation point here? Is it suggesting that the thread should be killed rather than joined? I'm considering boost::statechart for a design where do activities will be a fundamental feature, so I'm wondering whether we might run into problems with this.

binding to new
by Noah Roberts 22 Apr '09

22 Apr '09

I have a factory that returns an instance of a concrete under an abstraction. It works by matching a "command" string to a command handler that is created and returned to the client. It's basically a stack of regex->creator pairs. The creator is a function that returns a pointer to the abstract type. I'd like to provide that function by binding to the new operator. Currently I have a static function in each concrete type that just calls new and I bind to it. I can't think of what syntax I would use to bind to new and am inclined to think it impossible, but I thought I'd ask.

Compiling exception/get_error_info.hpp in Visual Stuido UNICODE project
by Oleg V. Zhylin 22 Apr '09

22 Apr '09

Hi, I'm trying to compile my project in MS Visual Studio 2008 with UNICODE and _UNICODE symbols defined. This automatically makes std::string resolve to std::wstring. I'm having a problem compiling exception/get_error_info.hpp because of the following code struct strwrap { std::string str; char const * ptr; explicit strwrap( char const * s ): str(s), ptr(&str[0]) { } Error messages quite predictably say about type inconsistency, there's a copy of them below my signature. Is there a known way to tweak boost to build seamlessly with Visual Studio Unicode projects? WBR Oleg V.

Re: [Boost-users] unwanted exported symbols in a DLL which statically links to Boost.Library

So maybe I can offer some advice, which may be of help when combined with some information from others. I would agree that if the library containing those functions is static, it should not export anything. It's difficult to cause anything to be exported (nearly impossible for C++ decorated names, IME) other than by decorating the declaration of that function or variable, or the class containing it. On VC++, the decoration appears at the beginning and takes the form __declspec(dllexport) To unravel the macros and conditional compilation, pass one of the files through the preprocessor only. Do this in Visual Studio by opening the properties window for just the one CPP file (not the project itself). Under C/C++, Command Line, add the "/E" option, without the quotes, where you can type Additional Options. Then right-click on the filename in the solution explorer and choose to compile just that file. It won't actually compile, but it will produce another text file (I forget where it puts it). Change it back before Visual Studio gets confused. If "dllimport" is in that text somewhere, it is indeed doing that on purpose.

unwanted exported symbols in a DLL which statically links to Boost.Library
by Luca Cappa 22 Apr '09

22 Apr '09

Hello, I am creating a DLL using the VisualC++ 8sp1, which statically links to Boost.Library, and also to another static library, which links to Boost.Library statically too. In the export section of the built DLL I see, among the few public functions which it should export, hundreds of exported functions like the ones below. I would really like to export the symbols the DLL defines as exported, and not anything else which is unexpectly exported, like the ones shown below: boost::archive::detail::oserializer<class boost::archive::xml_oarchive,struct sqy::Vector2<float> >::oserializer<class boost::archive::xml_oarchive,struct sqy::Vector2<float> >(void) boost::archive::detail::oserializer<class boost::archive::xml_oarchive,struct sqy::Vector2<float> >::oserializer<class boost::archive::xml_oarchive,struct sqy::Vector2<float> >(void) boost::archive::detail::oserializer<class boost::archive::xml_oarchive,struct sqy::Vector2<double> >::oserializer<class boost::archive::xml_oarchive,struct sqy::Vector2<double> >(void) In my static library, which statically link to the Boost.Serialization library, I have the following code which explicitly instantiate some template type on a set of a priori known datatypes: template MYLIB_API struct sqy::Vector2<int>; template MYLIB_API struct sqy::Vector2<float>; template MYLIB_API struct sqy::Vector2<double>; template MYLIB_API struct sqy::Vector2<size_t>; #define INSTANTIATE_VECTOR2_SERIALIZATION(x)\ template void MYLIB_API Vector2<x>::serialize<boost::archive::xml_oarchive> (\ boost::archive::xml_oarchive&, const unsigned int);\ template void MYLIB_API Vector2<x>::serialize<boost::archive::xml_iarchive> (\ boost::archive::xml_iarchive&, const unsigned int); INSTANTIATE_VECTOR2_SERIALIZATION(int); INSTANTIATE_VECTOR2_SERIALIZATION(float); INSTANTIATE_VECTOR2_SERIALIZATION(double); INSTANTIATE_VECTOR2_SERIALIZATION(size_t); Notice that, when the DLL is created, MYLIB_API is defined like # define MYLIB_API so i wonder where those symbols above comes from? Anyone could help me to remove from the DLL exporting section those unwanted symbols? Many thanks in advance, Luca
