Before trying to recompile some codes from B.MI/test to crash my compiler w/ an ICE, I've just played with some compilation options in my IDE and the results are: In Debug mode: If the C/C++ options "/Zi" & "/Gm" are set: KO -> w/ ICE in apply_wrap.hpp If the C/C++ options "/ZI" & "/Gm" are set: KO -> w/ ICE in apply_wrap.hpp If the C/C++ option "/Gm" is not set and "Zi" or "ZI" is set: OK In Release mode: with or without the "/Gm" option set: OK Funny... It seems that the /Gm option is quite unstable in debug mode? I don't know exactly the goal of this option but our project template set this option by default in this mode. Joaquin or John, do you know the meaning of this compilation option for VC7.1? Do you know the recommended options w/ this compiler to use Boost libraries, more specifically B.MI? For information, up to now, we use "/ZI" or "/Zi" in conjunction with "/Gm" option with all other Boost libraries. Thanks for your help. The code snipped during my compilation test is the following: #include <boost/config.hpp> #include <boost/multi_index_container.hpp> #include <boost/multi_index/composite_key.hpp> #include <boost/multi_index/ordered_index.hpp> #include <boost/multi_index/member.hpp> #include <boost/multi_index/key_extractors.hpp> // STL #include <string> using namespace boost::multi_index ; struct Item { const std::string& getCls() const { return _cls ; } const std::string& getId() const { return _id ; } std::string _cls ; std::string _id ; int _i ; int _j ; } ; void main() { typedef const_mem_fun< Item , const std::string& , &Item::getCls > key_cls ; typedef const_mem_fun< Item , const std::string& , &Item::getId > key_id ; typedef composite_key<Item,key_cls,key_id> ckey_clsid ; typedef multi_index_container< Item, indexed_by< ordered_non_unique<key_id> , ordered_non_unique<key_cls> , ordered_unique<ckey_clsid> > > ObjectContainer ; ObjectContainer c ; }

Re: [Boost-users] Boost threads + MSVSC + /Za + client code

Hi, Any takers? The workaround I've found for the problem below is to #define _MSC_EXTENSIONS before including any boost thread headers. It /appears/ that this is only necessary when separately compiling boost threads. Sorry for the cross-post. > With Visual C++, I can't seem to determine why if I simply include > boost/threads/once.hpp, I need to enable language extensions for that > translation unit. I'm going to dig into this further today but I would > appreciate if someone has figured out a solution short of allowing > language extensions.

[threads] Compiling boost.threads on Linux
by Hugo Vinicius Alves Soares 03 Jan '07

Hey everybody, I'm a newbie on Boost Libraies, I'm starting with the thread library. I'm using Ubuntu and a install it using apt-get, the headers are in /usr/include/boost/ but when I use g++ to compile my test codes an error message is returned: undefined reference to methods of the library classes. I know this errors are link errors, what option I must pass to g++? Thanks for everyone that answer my ask.

Hello Joaquin and happy New Year, Sorry for my late reply but our mail server was down in the night of 31th; this is not a joke. I've just changed the code snippet with your recommendation but without success: I've got the same ICE with VC7.1. Just to clarify my report: I've also compiled some code snippets from the MultiIndex documentation and get the same ICE. My compiler version corresponds to the VC7.1 with the service pack #1.

Although I got it working I did have to apply a small hack which I feel I have to mention. The file lib/thread/build/threads.jam refers to the PTW32_LIB directory via a subdirectory pre-built. So unless the lib and include subdirs are in a subdir called 'pre-built' it does not work. I removed "/pre-built" from the jam file and then all was ok. I am not sure why 'pre-built' is there since a pre-built library can be installed in any location that people want. Shouldn't this be removed? If not then perhaps PTW32_LIB can be added as additional directory to search for the lib and include files without the 'pre-built' qualifier.

[Boost.Function] (too) loosly treated argument types
by Slawomir Lisznianski 02 Jan '07

02 Jan '07

Given example below, is there any way to enforce parameter type strictness? [-- Example begin: #include <boost/function.hpp> using namespace boost; // some kind of callback sig. // typedef function1<void, int &> signature; void fn1(int v) // notice arg by-value (say, user typo) { // here, assignments to `v' are lost after // return } void fn2(int & v) // OK { // here, assignments to `v' are // preserved after return } int main(int, char**) { // I want this to fail at compile-time... signature f1 = fn1; // ...and this to work signature f2 = fn2; return 0; } -- code end] On my compiler (g++ (GCC) 4.0.2 20051125) everything compiles fine but ideally, I'd like to fail the first case. Rationale: Users of my library register callbacks and occasionally mistype their function signature which causes them to modify temporaries rather than "out" variables.

I tried downloading and running the boost "exe" from sourceforge. This distribution builds ok with the win32 port of pthreads. I have not diff'd it with the tarball I was using earlier but I suppose there must be differences to get this different behaviour. Very strange. Oh well, at least I have a working boost now.

fatal error LNK1561: entry point must be defined building boost libs with win32 port of pthread

I am trying to build boost using the win32 port of pthreads. The command I use is: bjam -STOOLS=vc-7_1 -sPTW32_DIR="where-i-put-win32-pthreads" -sPTW32_LIB="pthreadVC.lib" stage The error I get is: LINK : warning LNK4001: no object files specified; libraries used LINK : warning LNK4068: /MACHINE not specified; defaulting to X86 LINK : fatal error LNK1561: entry point must be defined Would be nice of Mico$oft said ***which*** entrypoint is missing.

>From my previous post. I was linking the wrong file. The correct linkage (or at least one that compiled) g++ test.cpp -lboost_thread-gcc-mt-d-1_33_1 A few more questions. There is also a libboost_thread-gcc-mt-d-1_33_1.so file. What is the -d represent?? Why does the linker not know to use the given library? Based on other sources I put the path /usr/local/lib in my /etc/ld.so.conf file and then ran /sbin/ldconfig What do I need to do so that I do not have to include all the boost libraries in the compile line? Thanks much. Steve

I think my problem is a simple linking problem. I have looked through the archives and tried a few things to no avail. I am trying to compile the simple thread example from the boost site (see end of message). I am using 64 bit Redhat linux on a dual core opteron box. g++ -v Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.6/specs Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --disable-checking --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit --disable-libunwind-exceptions --enable-java-awt=gtk --host=x86_64-redhat-linux Thread model: posix gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-3) I believe the boost libraries come pre-installed on linux, but just in case I followed all the directions online and installed the libraries (I just used whatever defaults the installed runs). I compile the program below with: g++ test.cpp (I renamed the sample program test) and get these errors: /tmp/cctHP3Df.o(.text+0x169): In function `main': : undefined reference to `boost::thread::thread(boost::function0<void, std::allocator<boost::function_base> > const&)' /tmp/cctHP3Df.o(.text+0x19b): In function `main': : undefined reference to `boost::thread::join()' /tmp/cctHP3Df.o(.text+0x1ae): In function `main': : undefined reference to `boost::thread::~thread()' /tmp/cctHP3Df.o(.text+0x1c4): In function `main': : undefined reference to `boost::thread::~thread()' /tmp/cctHP3Df.o(.gnu.linkonce.t._ZN12thread_alarmclEv+0x16): In function `thread_alarm::operator()()': : undefined reference to `boost::xtime_get(boost::xtime*, int)' /tmp/cctHP3Df.o(.gnu.linkonce.t._ZN12thread_alarmclEv+0x2f): In function `thread_alarm::operator()()': : undefined reference to `boost::thread::sleep(boost::xtime const&)' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Based on a few previous messages from the archives, I tried linking in the thread library (shouldn't gcc find it by itself??) g++ test.cpp -lboost_thread and get these errors: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.6/../../../../lib64/libboost_thread.a(t hrea d.o)(.text+0x54): In function `boost::thread::~thread()': : undefined reference to `pthread_detach' /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.6/../../../../lib64/libboost_thread.a(t hrea d.o)(.text+0x74): In function `boost::thread::~thread()': : undefined reference to `pthread_detach' /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.6/../../../../lib64/libboost_thread.a(t hrea d.o)(.text+0xca): In function `boost::thread::join()': : undefined reference to `pthread_join' /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.6/../../../../lib64/libboost_thread.a(t hrea d.o)(.text+0x251): In function `boost::thread_group::join_all()': : undefined reference to `pthread_join' /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.6/../../../../lib64/libboost_thread.a(t hrea d.o)(.text+0x8b4): In function `boost::thread_group::~thread_group()': : undefined reference to `pthread_detach' /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.6/../../../../lib64/libboost_thread.a(t hrea d.o)(.text+0x924): In function `boost::thread_group::~thread_group()': : undefined reference to `pthread_detach' /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.6/../../../../lib64/libboost_thread.a(t hrea d.o)(.text+0xb4e): In function `boost::thread_group::create_thread(boost::functi on0<void, std::allocator<boost::function_base> > const&)': : undefined reference to `pthread_detach' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Thanks in advance for any help.
