[conversion] lexical_cast behaviour changed from 1_33_1
by Paul O'Neill 25 Feb '07

25 Feb '07

Compiling the following code on MSVC80, sp1 has different behaviour in the latest CVS head compared to 1_33_1? double dbl(88.8); std::cout << boost::lexical_cast<std::string>(dbl) << std::endl; boost1.33.1 = 88.8 boost::CVS = 88.799999999999997 Any ideas as I prefer the old behaviour? Thanks.

boost RegEx problem: Invalid content of repeat range
by Michael Radzewitz 25 Feb '07

25 Feb '07

Hello everyone, i have a problem with libboost_regex-gcc-mt-1_33_1.a on a debian Linux and a simple function to test some Names: bool is_valid_name(const char *s) { if(!s) return false; const char* re = "^[a-zA-Z][.*0-9a-zA-Z._-]{4,60}$"; static const boost::regex e(re); return regex_match(s,e); } Everything works well when i put this Funtion in a simple Programm and run it. When I put the same Function in my cgi which is wrapped through fastCgi and handled by an apache webserver i get the following Error message: Invalid content of repeat range so in a simple programm the range check {4,60} in boost regex works but in a more complex program it didd'nt. I have testet the same function on Linux using: libboost_regex-gcc-mt-1_33_1.a and free BSD using: libboost_regex.so.3 and get with both libs the same error message. It would be nice if someone can help me find a solution or tell me what went wrong here. Thanks in advance!

Boost Preprocessor Question
by Eric Lemings 24 Feb '07

24 Feb '07

Greetings, I was wondering if the following can be done with Boost Preprocessor. Given a list of preprocessor macro names, write a simple program that prints whether each macro is defined and its value if it is defined. In particular, I'd like to know if the following example program could be reduced/simplified with Boost: #include <iostream> using namespace std; #define STRING(x) #x #define STRINGIZE(x) STRING(x) #define IS " is " #define NOT "not " #define DEFINED "defined." #define VALUE " Its value is " extern int main () { #if defined __mips cout << STRING(__mips) IS DEFINED; cout << VALUE STRINGIZE(__mips) << endl; #else cout << STRING(__mips) IS NOT DEFINED << endl; #endif #if defined __unix cout << STRING(__unix) IS DEFINED; cout << VALUE STRINGIZE(__unix) << endl; #else cout << STRING(__unix) IS NOT DEFINED << endl; #endif #if defined __sgi cout << STRING(__sgi) IS DEFINED; cout << VALUE STRINGIZE(__sgi) << endl; #else cout << STRING(__sgi) IS NOT DEFINED << endl; #endif #if defined _COMPILER_VERSION cout << STRING(_COMPILER_VERSION) IS DEFINED; cout << VALUE STRINGIZE(_COMPILER_VERSION) << endl; #else cout << STRING(_COMPILER_VERSION) IS NOT DEFINED << endl; #endif #if defined __GNUC__ cout << STRING(__GNUC__) IS DEFINED; cout << VALUE STRINGIZE(__GNUC__) << endl; #else cout << STRING(__GNUC__) IS NOT DEFINED << endl; #endif return 0; } Thanks, Eric.

Error in using boost lambda in a template
by Meryl Silverburgh 24 Feb '07

24 Feb '07

Hi, I have code which uses Boost lambda in a template like this: template<class T> bool lessThanXY( T& src, T& dest ) { return (src.getY() < dest.getY()); } template<class T1, class T2> void sortXY(T1& list) { ::sort( list.begin(), list.end(), bind(::lessThanXY<T2>, *(_1), *(_2) ) ); } But when I instantiate the template like this, I get the following compile error: class Rect; typedef list<Rect*> RectList; void sortXYRectList(RectList& rl) { sortXYWithThreshold<RectList, Rect>(rl); } /usr/include/boost/lambda/detail/lambda_traits.hpp:389: error: ignoring 'const' qualifiers added to function type 'bool ()(Rect&, Rect&)const' gmake[5]: *** [RectUtils.o] Error 1 Can you please tell me how to fix my problem ? I did not use 'const' anywhere in my template, why I get this error: error: ignoring 'const' qualifiers added to function type 'bool ()(Rect&, Rect&)const'

[graph] internal predecessor map
by Jens Müller 24 Feb '07

24 Feb '07

Can I store an edge_descriptor of a predecessor edge as an internal/bundled property? I am currently doing this: struct EdgeProperties; struct VertexProperties { double x; double y; double weight; int dist; boost::graph_traits< boost::adjacency_list<boost::vecS, boost::vecS, boost::bidirectionalS, VertexProperties, EdgeProperties> >::edge_descriptor pred; int app_height; bool mark; }; struct EdgeProperties { double length; }; int main() { using namespace boost; typedef adjacency_list<vecS, vecS, bidirectionalS, VertexProperties, EdgeProperties> Graph; } This is legal, isn't need? Obviously the definition of EdgeProperties is not needed where it is first used. But is this the proper way to do it, or is there a more elegant way?

mixing CVS and release
by Torrey Pines 24 Feb '07

Hi In general, is it possible to use a CVS version of one Boost component and release versions of everything else (within one program)? If so, is there a description of a procedure for doing that somewhere?

[program_options] crash in VC++2005
by n.torrey.pines 24 Feb '07

24 Feb '07

In VC++2005 debug mode (Ctrl-F5), this little program aborts: +++++++++++++ begin ++++++++++++++++++++++++ #include <iostream> #include <boost/program_options.hpp> int main(int argc, char * argv[]) { boost::program_options::options_description desc("Allowed options"); desc.add_options() ("some_option", "\ This option description SHOULD be long enough not to fit in one line"); std::cout << desc << '\n'; } ++++++++++++ end +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The debug assertion failure message is: File: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\INCLUDE\xstring Line: 173 Through multiple trials, I found that the error occurs if and only if the option description is long enough not to fit in one line in the window. This is boost-1_33_1 Since I have no prior experience with program_options, perhaps I'm using it incorrectly?

[serialization] size_t vs unsigned warnings
by n.torrey.pines 23 Feb '07

23 Feb '07

Hi Line 36 in collections_save_imp.hpp says: unsigned int count = s.size(); I'm getting many pages of warnings in VC++2005 stemming from this line. Would it make sense to change that to std::size_t count = s.size() ? If so, should I just edit the line? recompile boost? I'd like to take care of that warning. Thanks

[Serialization] xml serialization to file and boost::archive::xml_archive_exception (unrecognized XML syntax)
by Andreas Willich 23 Feb '07

23 Feb '07

Hi all I have a annoying problem with xml serialization to a file or std::cout. I want to serialize my own classes to a file via filestream and everytime I get a xml_archive_exception with the error message unrecognized XML syntax. What I want to serialize is a child class from a class hierachy. When I only serialize the part of the mother class (with BOOST_SERIALIZATION_BASE_OBJECT_NVP) it works, but when I also want to save the members of the child classes I get this exception. I have exported every class with BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT and at the base class I have a BOOST_IS_ABSTRACT(baseClass). Gcc brings no warnings or errors and when I use a text archive, all works fine. Has someone an idea what I do wrong or some suggestions? Thanks Andreas Here is my build environment: GCC: Using built-in specs.

VS2005 Toolset for builidng boost targeting x64.
by Michael Doris 23 Feb '07

23 Feb '07

Hi I've had a good search but I can't find out how I might go about building boost targetting x64 using Visual Studio 2005. I've had no problem targetting 32-bit windows. Thanks, Mike Doris
