Hi Benjamin, Sorry for that. It's because I introduced a breaking change: after you initialize the log, call: g_logger->turn_cache_off(); That should do the trick.

[Math] Feedback wanted on design issue.
by John Maddock 14 Jan '08

14 Jan '08

Hi folks I'd like some user feedback on an error-handling design issue if you're all willing :-) To the Sandbox "development" version of Boost.Math I've recently added equivalent functionality to the C99 round/trunc/modf functions: these convert floating point values to integers or to integer and fractional parts. However, there are two possible error conditions: 1) The input value is not a number (NaN). 2) The input value is outside the range of the integer type. We could handle these using the existing error handlers for domain_error's and overflow_error's respectively, but there's a problem: Users may legitimately turn off the throwing of exceptions from domain or overflow errors and prefer the functions to return NaN's and infinities instead. But this clearly wouldn't make as much sense for these particular conversion functions given that integers don't support either of these states.... So I'm tempted to add another error handler specific for integer conversion failures: the question then is whether this is starting down a slippery slope to too many error types making the library too hard to understand/use. Currently we already have: Pole Errors. Domain Errors. Overflow Errors. Underflow Errors. Denorm Errors. Internal Evaluation Errors. See http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/libs/math/doc/sf_and_dist/html/math_to… for the details. So am I going overboard with error types, or worrying about nothing? Thanks for any thoughts/user experience you may have, Regards, John Maddock.

Question about link in VC7.1
by Michael Qi 14 Jan '08

14 Jan '08

Hi list users, I am using VC.net 2003 and use boost installer to install boost. I read the getting started guide and when link got an error. I configured VC to Multithreaded and the compilation succeeded, the link error is: LINK : fatal error LNK1104: could not open file "libboost_regex-vc71-mt-sgd-1_34_1.lib" and in boost lib directory the file libboost_regex-vc71-mt-1_34_1.lib existed, not the one with "sgd" Why VC　want sgd? Any suggestion is welcomed:) Regards HeQi

the review of the switch library ends today, January 13th
by Stjepan Rajko 14 Jan '08

14 Jan '08

The review of the Switch library submitted by Steven Watanabe ends today (Sunday, January 13th). I would like to thank Steven for submitting a very useful library, as well as all those who have submitted reviews and/or contributed to the discussion (especially Tobias Schwinger and Joel de Guzman who have put in quite a bit of effort towards enhancing the design of the library). I will send a more detailed summary of the review as well as a decision in the following days. I currently have only 3 reviews to base a decision on, so any additional votes that anyone would like to contribute in the very near future would be very welcome. Regards, Stjepan

I have a set of objects and these objects have corresponding representations in the other part of my program (for debugging purposes [visualization]). Two parts of the program do not know about each other. One part calls a functions f and another part receives the call. I need to know what object initiated this call. It's given that objects are not destroyed, hence this is unique in that case. Making it void* is an option. Though I was looking for a more elegant solution. Thanks for the example. Thanks. -- Regards, Alexander. http://sjcomp.com

Casting this pointer to a number
by sj＠sjcomp.com 13 Jan '08

13 Jan '08

Hello, I'd like to provide a function with an unique identifier: void f(size_t UniqueId); This function is going to be called from within class member functions like that: class a { a() { f((size_t)this); } }; Right now the old style cast works. The question is how do I make conversion using numeric_cast? If I use: f(boost::numeric_cast<size_t>(this)); I get a compilation error: error C2665: 'ceil' : none of the 3 overloads could convert all the argument types I guess another question is: should I bother replacing this old-style cast, maybe there is a better way to approach this situation in general? Thanks.

ptime constructor
by Miguel Lopes 13 Jan '08

13 Jan '08

Hi all, I have a small question about ptime class usage. I am currently working on an old project that uses Boost library; unfortunately, when I build and run the project executable some exceptions are thrown. I found out that some parts of the project are trying to create ptime objects like this: *ptime(time_from_string(string(sz)))* That line throws an exception, when sz is empty. So my question is: Is there any version (Boost version) of ptime class that accepts an empty string as argument? The problem is that I need to investigate which version of Boost, is being really used in the project makefile and with all versions of Boost that line throws the exception. On the other hand I have a precompiled binary of the project, and under the same data input conditions, it works perfectly, that is, even with empty dates no exceptions are thrown. Kind Regards, Miguel Lopes
