Should I use a seperate functor like this? template<class T> struct dereference : public std::unary_function<T*, T> { T operator()(T *pt) { return *pt; } }; A a; boost::bind(&processA, boost::bind(dereference<A>(), _1))(&a); If the answer is yes, is there a safer and stronger equivalence of "dereference" in boost? Thanks again. B/Rgds Max ====================================== Hello On simple question: For struct A {}; void processA(A& a) {} A *pa = new A(); How to write a bind expression that make (pa); equivalent to processA(*pa); I've tried with this: boost::bind(&processA, *_1) but failed. I've also tried with this: processA(*boost::lambda::_1) also failed. Thanks for any information.

[interprocess] support for private mappings?
by Zeljko Vrba 03 Jan '09

03 Jan '09

Does this library support private, read-write file mappings? Such mapping is copy on write, and modifications to the mapped region remain private to the process that created the mapping. (POSIX: MAP_PRIVATE flag for mmap(), Windows: FILE_MAP_COPY flag to MapViewOfFile and PAGE_WRITECOPY flag to CreateFileMapping)

Missing regex lib on 1.37
by Larry 03 Jan '09

03 Jan '09

I did a complete build of 1.37 on Windows Vista using VS 2008, VS 2005, and VS .NET 2003 and it appears that none produced debug versions of the libraries. I couldn't see anything that said the debug builds were no longer supported but may have read it and it just didn't register that was what it was saying. I was doing --build_type=complete but even throwing in --variant=debug would not produce the lib. The specific one I was missing was libboost_regex-vc90-mt-gd-1_37.lib. Any suggestions? Pointers?

release vs. debug build
by Joseph A. Marks 02 Jan '09

02 Jan '09

After many debug builds, I am trying to build a "release" version -- sometimes known as a non-debug build or retail version. In any event, despite changing my .inc file to not use the following debug library, and doing a "build clear" (which is roughly equivalent to a rebuild all), I get the following: LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_date_time-vc90-mt-gd-1_37.lib' I tried to change the include libraries so that libboost_date_time-vc90-mt-1_37.lib was used instead. Am I required to rebuild the entire Boost system (e.g. using "jam" files) when I want to swtich from debug to release? Can anyone think of any obvious solution to this problem? Note: I obtain the Boost lists via digests, so it may take a while for me to interactively respond, if that becomes needed. Thanks Again, Sincerely, Joseph AMDG Joseph A.

Re: [Boost-users] shared_ptr and signals
by Max 02 Jan '09

02 Jan '09

Hello, Perhaps nobody is aware of (perpahs some are) that this simple use case has introduced another intersting and, probably, very useful scenario in which the Signals lib could be benificial. That is: Slot With Status. Have a look at this example: struct Slot { int sum; Slot() : sum(0) {} Slot(int i) : sum(i) {} int operator()(int i) { return sum += i; } }; void test_signals() { typedef boost::signal<int(int)> Signal; Signal sig; boost::shared_ptr<Slot> a( new Slot() ); boost::shared_ptr<Slot> b = a; sig.connect(boost::bind( &Slot::operator(), a, _1)); sig.connect(boost::bind( &Slot::operator(), b, _1)); sig.connect(boost::bind( &Slot::operator(), boost::shared_ptr<Slot>(a), _1)); std::cout << "\na.use_count() = " << a.use_count(); std::cout << "\nsum = " << sig(1) << std::endl; } The result is: a.use_count() = 5 sum = 3 the reason of use_count of the shared_ptr being 5 rather than 3 is the result of the copy semantics of the connect function. Hope this information is interesting.

AT Commands Sample Needed
by master master 02 Jan '09

02 Jan '09

I need a basic example for sending AT commands to mobile. This will require serial communication on COM port. If any one can send me any example of it. I want to do this using BOOST. By searching on GOOGLE I got this but this is not compiling. I know this code is wrong at several places. So can any give me a any right sample or modify it to be right. #include <iostream> #include <boost/asio.hpp> #include <boost/asio/serial_port.hpp> #include <boost/thread.hpp> #include <boost/system/error_code.hpp> #include <boost/system/system_error.hpp> #include <boost/bind.hpp> void handler(const boost::system::error_code& error) { std::cout << "read" << std::endl; } int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { using namespace std; using namespace boost; char read_msg_[512]; boost::asio::io_service io; asio::serial_port theport(io,"COM7"); theport.async_read_some(boost::asio::buffer(read_msg_),handler); io.run(); return 0; } Thank You Rahul To create something exceptional ________________________________ -Master4Master "Confidentiality Warning: This message and any attachments are intended only for the use of the intended recipient(s), are confidential, and may be privileged.

[boost-users][mpl, enable_if] checking if a type has specific dependant type
by Igor R 01 Jan '09

01 Jan '09

Hello, I'd like to define a trait that would evaluate to true for types that have some specific dependant type (DependentType), to use like this: template<class Type> func(int i, typename boost::enable_if<HasDependentType<Type> >::type* dummy = 0) { } I tried this way: template<class Type, class Enable = void> struct HasDependentType : mpl::false_ {}; template<class Type> struct HasDependentType<Type, typename Type::DependentType> : mpl::true_ {}; ...but it appears incorrect (partial specialization is never ised). Thanks in advance.

[filesystem] windows program crashes in debug mode ( DbgUiConnectToDbg )
by Stephen 01 Jan '09

01 Jan '09

Trying to port a mac program onto windows. I've been having some trouble getting the boost portion of it to work. It appears to run fine in release mode*, but crashes when debugged. Below is an excised piece of code that seems to replicate the problem, and works perfectly in release mode but crashes when debugging. I'm using Code::Blocks under XP, with Boost 1.37 with Mingw 3.4.5 (linking to boost_system-mgw34-mt-1_37.lib and boost_filesystem-mgw34-mt-1_37.lib ) (Also: It doesn't crash when I run it in windows 95 compatibility mode, but that's not really an option because that completely breaks the program it's meant to be a part of). Code: #include "boost/filesystem/operations.hpp" #include "boost/filesystem/path.hpp" #include "boost/progress.hpp" #include <iostream> namespace fs = boost::filesystem; int main( int argc, char* argv[] ) { fs::path p("chapters"); fs::directory_iterator dir_iter(p), dir_end; std::cout<<"got here"; return 0; } Outputs "got here" in release, just crashes in debug, with backtrace: (gdb) backtrace #0 0x7c90120f in ntdll!DbgUiConnectToDbg () from C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll #1 0x7c96c201 in ntdll!RtlpNtMakeTemporaryKey () from C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll #2 0x0022f724 in ??

() -------------------- Doing a similar build in Visual C++ 2008 with msvc builds of the library, I get the error Unhandled exception at 0x7c812aeb in filesystest.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: boost::exception_detail::clone_impl<boost::exception_detail::error_info_injector<boost::filesystem::basic_filesystem_error<boost::filesystem::basic_path<std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> >,boost::filesystem::path_traits> > at memory location 0x0012fb34.. whether I run a debug build or not. -------------------- Compiling with the debug builds of the libraries (X-mgw34-mt-d-1_37.lib) didn't produce significantly-different looking other errors from the ones above. Someone on the internet ( http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,8429.msg64317.html#msg64317 ) seemed to have a similar problem, but his solution isn't satisfactory for me (for the reason given below). Linking to single-threaded builds of boost didn't seem to make a difference either. Any help with this would be really appreciated. Stephen *I say 'appears to run fine' because, in the program that I'm trying to port, in windows all I see is a blank window (it's an SDL application); I can std<<cout directory structures from it though. This is most likely an unrelated problem, but I can't start to debug that until I've gotten this problem out of the way.

proto for array expressions
by Daniel Oberhoff 01 Jan '09

01 Jan '09

Hi, I have skimmed over the new proto library a few times now. I am kind of excited about a clean implementation of ET. I have used blitz++ in a project before, but am disappointed, because it breaks unexpectedly in places, where it seems the et engine is just not smart enough, even though the expression makes a lot of sense. I ended up having to handcode a lot of things, avoiding which was the very reason I ever used blitz. So now I am back at hand coing in a new projects, using nothing but a few good iterators. Now with proto I was wondering how hard it would be to build an et engine for array math. Basically I am interested in general tensor notation, and the resulting expressions should be iteratable efficiently. think (advanced example): a_ij = b_i * (c_j - sum(d_ijk, k = [i-1,1]) so there should be math on the indices possible, and I should be able to iterate the expression to avoid direct index lookups wich are expensive with arrays, where indices must be multiplied by strides to get the memory address. other goodies would be optional range checks and the ability to pass subexpressions to template functions. also interesting might be transformations to automatically optimize expressions. a nice start would be maybe something simpler like just a_ij = b_i * (c_j - sum(d_ijk, k) where k is summed fully (over the whole range in d_ijk). can anymone give me an estimate on how hard this would be and where to start?
