Hello, Are there any restrictions on adding a boost/sandbox library that I wrote under the boost license to dmoz (open directory project) to facilitate online searches?

PP is boost.preprocessor. I forgot attached files don't appear in the mailing list. template <unsigned int subscript> struct constant_tag {}; proto::terminal< constant_tag<0> >::type c0 = {{}}; // with preprocessor, i define c0 ... c100 I don't want lib users, in a first use, to have to define constant names nor variable names themselves. > > Does the non-constness matter?

I want to allow this example of syntax: c35 = any expression of integral or floating point literals, of c++ runtime variables of integral or fp type (no bool no enums) of _other_ constants Later, a constant will be either undefined, or defined. if undefined, evaluations of expressions with that constant will keep that constant in, otherwise, the constant will be replaced by its value How do I write the grammar that allows any expression, but just with those 4 possibilies (c35)? regards,

boost::lambda: how to create indirect functor
by ＠ 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

prerequisites: struct C { void func(int i) {} }; void indirect(boost::function<void(C*)> f) { static C c; f(&c); } I need a functor that takes int and calls "indirect" passing there &C::func bound with that int. I imagine a solution like: boost::function<void(int)> result_functor = bind(indirect, bind(&C::func, protect(_1), _1)); receiving compilation error: "could not deduce argument" deep inside lambda library thanks -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/boost%3A%3Alambda%3A-how-to-create-indirect-functor-t… Sent from the Boost - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [Boost-users] [boost] [SVG Plot] What happened to this library?
by Marc Viala 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

Hello, I have just checked out the latest release of SVG Plot library from https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/SOC/2007/visualization/ and tried to compile one source example w/ VC++ 7.1 against Boost 1.37.0 but the compilation failed. The file source is "1d_simple.cpp" from the of SVG Plot example directory. The compilation of the source file fails with the following error: 'svg_color_constant' unknown identifier in file svg_color.hpp @ line37 Did I miss something?

ASIO sockets and stream buffers
by Jeff Diewald 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

I'm having trouble with trying to connect my TCP sockets up to a stream buffer, and need some help. I've already opened my sending socket, or accepted a connection to get a new receiving socket, and I want to send messages back and forth. What I'd like to write is something like: void sendMessage(boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket* s) { ?? some stream type ?? str(s); str << ... write stuff ... << flush(); str >> ... read stuff ...; } I can't seem to find the right stream type that takes my existing socket. Does such a creature exist in the ASIO library? Help! Thanks in advance, Jeff Diewald JEOL USA

Re: [Boost-users] boost and std collisons in c++0x
by Daniel Lidström 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

Hello, here is how I have solved this problem where I work: Create a header for each class that you want to use, that exists in both boost and std::tr1. For example, here's our local shared_ptr.h: #if !defined(SHARED_PTR_H__20080527T1436) #define SHARED_PTR_H__20080527T1436 #if defined(_MSC_VER) && _MSC_VER>=1500 && defined(_HAS_TR1) // Visual Studio 2008 TR1 version #include <memory> namespace GFLUtils = std::tr1; #else // Boost version #include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp> #include <boost/enable_shared_from_this.hpp> namespace GFLUtils = boost; #endif #endif If you also have to rely on VC6 (as we do) then you can't selectively import parts from a namespace (using boost::shared_ptr doesn't work). But if you only use more modern compiler, you can do this: #if !defined(SHARED_PTR_H__20080527T1436) #define SHARED_PTR_H__20080527T1436 #if defined(_MSC_VER) && _MSC_VER>=1500 && defined(_HAS_TR1) // Visual Studio 2008 TR1 version #include <memory> namespace GFLUtils { using std::tr1::shared_ptr; using std::tr1::enable_shared_from_this; } #else // Boost version #include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp> #include <boost/enable_shared_from_this.hpp> namespace GFLUtils { using boost::shared_ptr; using boost::enable_shared_from_this; } #endif #endif Hope this helps! Regards, Daniel Lidström Stockholm, Sweden _____ From: Ein Held [mailto:held_ein@yahoo.de] Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2009 1:23 PM To: boost-users(a)lists.boost.org Subject: [Boost-users] boost and std collisons in c++0x Hello I would like to know more about boost's general attitude towards c++0x and the collisions of boost with std. As of now, we move both, ::boost- and ::std-namesspace in the global namespace via using xxx. This is exactly what we want - boost and the stl are both such fundamental libraries that using an explicit namespace specifier everytime we want to use content of these namespaces is not accaptable. This would just blow the code and make it unreadable. Once we move up to c++0x, we will not be able to keep this way of coding up. ::std::tr1 is merged into ::std and so the former tr1 classes will collide with the boost ones if explicit namespace identifiers are missing. I would like to stress the fact that code, perfectly fine to the boost documentation, will fail to compiler most likely. #include <iostream> //This one might include <array> using namespace std; #include <boost/array.hpp> using namespace boost; array<int,1> blub; //fail Is there anything planned to prevent this happen? Thank you

[Accumulator] Build error in using BOOST::accumulator on WXP VC8

Hello, I am using BOOST::accumulator from 1.37. I get the following warning in the build on WXP using VC8 (MSVC 2005). I am exploring to find out where the problem could be, posting to find is someone has experienced this problem. Since our build treats warnings as errors, I am stuck. ...include\boost/fusion/container/vector/detail/deref_impl.hpp(46) : warning C4003: not enough actual parameters for macro 'index' -dhruva -- Contents reflect my personal views only!

[Python] Expose c++ instances to python
by Germán Diago 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

Hello. I'm trying to embed python to an application. I did that with success and I'm using boost.python to make some bindings to my API. What I would like, is that the interpreter has access to my objects at runtime, namely, I don't want to create objects from python code but to use the c++ objects, created in my c++ application, from python (and I have wrappers for those in boost.python). I don't know how to achieve this. I just know how to wrap classes, but I have no idea how to expose instances. Any idea how to achieve this? I googled and found nothing clear. Thanks in advance.

[serialization] Sending user data to serialize()?
by Robert Dailey 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

Hi, I have a complex case I'm trying to work with. I may be doing this completely wrong so if there is a better design for this I'm always open for that. However for now I'm going to assume my particular problem can be solved. There exists two classes: A and B. Class A is defined as such: class A { public: template< typename Archive > void load( Archive& archive, unsigned int ) { archive & m_listOfB; } private: std::vector<int> m_listOfInt; boost::ptr_vector<B> m_listOfB; }; And class B is defined roughly as: class B { public: template< typename Archive > void load( Archive& archive, unsigned int ) { // Code isn't important here } }; Here's the problem: For each B that is deserialized by A::load(), I need to pass in a reference to m_listOfInt. So, essentially the load() function in B would look something like this: void load( Archive& archive, unsigned int, std::vector<int>& listOfInt ) { } I was hoping boost.bind could be used somewhere, but I just don't see how. One way to solve the problem is to call B::load() explicitly with the extra parameter, but I don't think that's an appropriate solution. Any ideas on how to solve this? Or perhaps I'm trying to solve the wrong problem.

[boost.asio] repeating a timer
by Sean Farrow 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

Hi: I've just been looking at the boost asio timers, I was wondering whetherthere is a repeat timer, so that my call back will be executed everytime the timer completes. This needs to execute more than once. Any help apreciated. Sean.
