Turn off versioning in Serialization
by Brian Nantz 11 Nov '08

11 Nov '08

I am using serialization split member (save & load) and it works great. I am using a text archive, but I do not want the framework to put the "version header" in the string (e.g. 22 serialization::archive 4 1303 ). I want to simply serialize the string and handle the versioning myself in the load function. Is there a way to turn this off? If not, where can I find detailed documentation on implementing a custom archive or build in another type of serialization (other than binary and xml nvp)? I have looked through mailing lists and documentation but I don't see a detailed description of how to extend the design. Brian

[Reflextion] Please help me, i have trouble with reflextion
by Mario Chacon 10 Nov '08

Hello, I am trying to use boos-reflexion but I have this trouble in this thread: http://archives.free.net.ph/message/20080913.122428.8014a555.fi.html Hello. I downloaded boost.extensions from http://boost-extension.blogspot.com/?gclid=CNjp5dfJ2JUCFQsZQgod0mHbWg When I tried the first example (the shared_library one) in the tutorial, I realized that the macro BOOST_EXTENSION_EXPORT_DECL didn't prevent c++ name mangling for the example function. I had to add extern "C" before void manually. And in the second tutorial (the animals tutorial) BOOST_EXTENSION_TYPE_MAP_FUNCTION seems to be called, but when I get the map from main, it is empty. The library is found (LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set so that it finds the library) but it does not work. Thank you. Tested in gcc 4.3.2 under ubuntu 8.10. Can somebody help me ?

can't initialize boost::filesystem::path
by ahassaine＠gmail.com 10 Nov '08

10 Nov '08

Dear boot users, I'm using boost 1.33 with Visual C++ 7. I need to create an instance of boost::filesystem::path. I tried : > std::string dir="c:\\"; > boost::filesystem::path my_path(dir); The compilation is successful but at the execution, I obtain a non handled exception in the xstring file at the end of this function : > void _Tidy(bool _Built = false, > size_type _Newsize = 0) > { // initialize buffer, deallocating any storage > if (!_Built) > ; > else if (_BUF_SIZE <= _Myres) > { // copy any leftovers to small buffer and deallocate > _Elem *_Ptr = _Bx._Ptr; > if (0 < _Newsize) > _Traits::copy(_Bx._Buf, _Ptr, _Newsize); > _Mybase::_Alval.deallocate(_Ptr, _Myres + 1); > } > _Myres = _BUF_SIZE - 1; > _Eos(_Newsize); > } Any help is welcome. Thanks in advance !

new using Boost (Problem at the asynchronous TCP Server example)
by Daniel França 09 Nov '08

BOOST: Duvida link em um asynchronous TCP serverHi everyone, I'm new at this list and new using the boost library. I'm little by little learning about boost. Now I was trying to do this example: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0/doc/html/boost_asio/tutorial/tutdaytim… The source is here: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0/doc/html/boost_asio/tutorial/tutdaytim… But when I try to link I get this errors: /usr/include/boost/system/error_code.hpp undefined reference to `boost::system::get_posix_category()' The program is linking with the follows boost librarys: boost_filesystem-gcc42-mt boost_system-gcc42-mt boost_unit_test_framework-gcc42-mt Maybe I forgot something when I did compile boost? My version of boost is 1.36. I use Linux (Slackware 12.1 + KDE 4.1), gcc 4.2.3 and Eclipse+CDT Best Regards -- Daniel C.

Boostcon 2009 call for sessions
by dan marsden 09 Nov '08

09 Nov '08

3rd annual Boost Conference 2009 Aspen CO, USA, May 3-9, 2009, www.boostcon.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for participation ---------------------- Promising to be the main face-to-face event for all things Boost (www.boost.org) BoostCon'09 opens the door to your C++ future. From using the Boost libraries to writing and maintaining them, from evangelizing to deploying Boost within your organization, from infrastructure and process to vision and mission, and from TR1 to TR2 and the new C++0x Standard, BoostCon brings together the sessions, the colleagues, and the inspiration to support your work with C++ and Boost in particular for the next year. To reflect the breadth of the Boost community, the conference includes sessions aimed at two constituencies: Boost end-users and hard-core Boost library and tool developers. The program fosters interaction and engagement within and across those two groups, with an emphasis on hands-on, participatory sessions. Session topics -------------- * Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to, the following: * General tutorial sessions introducing one or more Boost libraries * In-depth sessions on using specific libraries * Case studies on using Boost * Experts panels * Advanced sessions on implementation techniques used within Boost libraries * C++0x and how it will change life for users and library writers * TR1 and TR2 * Development workshops to extend or enhance existing Boost libraries * Workshops on design process * Infrastructure workshops such as Build tools, Website, Testing * Concepts and Generic Programming * Hardware and infrastructure presentations focused on how libraries can make better use of the technology * Other topics likely to be of great interest to Boost users and Developers. Interactive and collaborative sessions are encouraged, as this is the nature of both the on-line Boost community and the style of learning and participation that has proven most successful at such events. Sessions can be tutorial based, with an emphasis on interaction and participant involvement, or workshop based, whether hands-on programming or paper-based, discussion-driven collaborative work. Session formats --------------- Presentations ............. Presentations focus on a practitioner's ideas and experience with anything relevant to Boost and Boost users. Panels ...... Panels feature three or four people presenting their ideas and experiences relating to Boost's relevant, controversial, emerging, or unresolved issues. Panels may be conducted in several ways, such as comparative, analytic, or historic. Tutorials ......... Tutorials are sessions at which instructors teach conference participants specific Boost-relevant skills. Workshops ......... Workshops provide an active arena for advancements in Boost-relevant topics. Workshops provide the opportunity for experienced practitioners to develop new ideas about a topic of common interest and experience. Author's Corner Presentations ............................. These were introduced at BoostCon 2008, and were a great success. They are short (30 minute) sessions, focusing on tips on usage and design. In addition, we're looking to uncover the hidden design gems boost libraries. Tool Vendors Presentations .......................... We actively encourage tool vendors and ISP's to submit proposals for a special Tool Vendors Session Track aimed at products related to Boost and C++ (compilers, libraries, tools, etc.). Other formats may also be of interest. Don't hold back a proposal just because it doesn't fit into a pigeonhole. Submitting a proposal --------------------- Standard Sessions are 90 minutes. You may submit a proposal for fractions or multiples of 90-minutes. Fractional proposals will be grouped into 90 minute sessions covering related topics. Longer sessions, such as tutorials and classes, will be assigned 90 minute, three hour (i.e. half day), or six hour (i.e. full day) time slots. Please include: * The working title. * Type of session: presentation, panel, tutorial, workshop, authors corner, vendor track, other * A paragraph or two describing the topic covered, suitable for the conference web site * Proposed length: 10-20 minute short talks, 45 minutes, 90 minutes, half-day, full day * Alternate lengths, if you are willing to make adjustments: 10-20 minute lightning-talks, 45 minutes, 90 minutes, half-day, full day * Audience: users, developers, both * Level: basic, intermediate, advanced * A biography, suitable for the conference web site * Your contact information (will not be made public) Submission details ------------------ All submissions have to be done through the EasyChair conference management system: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=boostcon09. If you have not already registered at EasyChair, you will need to do so in order to submit your proposal. All submissions will go through a peer review process. Authors are invited to submit PDF versions of full papers of up to 10 pages in ACM conference proceedings format (see http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) The full papers are not required unless you want them published in the proceedings. All accepted papers will be made available in the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Digital Library (approval pending). Best papers, after further reviews, will be considered to be book chapters or journal articles in a renowned journal. The session materials go on the BoostCon CD handed out to attendees.

boost::signals - missing static runtime builds for VC8.0
by Dimitri Kaparis 09 Nov '08

09 Nov '08

Hello, I'm using the boostpro installer and noticed the static runtime multithread builds for VC8.0 of the Boost Signals (and several other) libraries are missing. All builds are available for both VC7.1 and VC9.0. I have also tried building the current boost version (although I haven't gone deep into the details of the build process) and at a glance it seems the multithread static runtime library variants are not built here either (I'm missing libboost_signals-vc80-mt-sgd-1_36.lib and libboost_signals-vc80-mt-s-1_36.lib). Any ideas why is that? Regards, Dimitri
