Just can't get started with boost testing framework
by Dave Harrison 24 May '05

24 May '05

Hi guys, I'm new to using Boost, and I'm hitting my head against what I'm pretty sure is a linking / inclusion problem. I'm trying to use the library to test code I'm writing, but I don't want to have to install the libraries onto the machine I'm compiling on (I just want a way I can have them in my code directory and include them from there). I've tried using both the unit_test_framework.hpp inclusion method, as well as linking against the built binary library, but I essentially keep hitting this problem : > g++ unit_test_example1.cpp unit_test_example1.cpp:10:55: error: boost/test/included/unit_test_framework.hpp: No such file or directory the only line in unit_test_example1.cpp is : #include <boost/test/included/unit_test_framework.hpp> In my code dir I've copied across the boost/test dir from the unzipped tar ball. Any help is greatly appreciated. Cheers Dave

transmute_iterator
by Louis Lavery 24 May '05

24 May '05

I'm looking for a transforming iterator. I've looked at the boost transform_iterator but it doesn't quite do what I want. Well, in fact it does a little too much, it passes the dereferenced base iterator to the transform function - I would like it to pass the base iterator itself. The reason being is that the transform function is to return an object containing that base iterator (the object acts much along the lines of a boost graph edge/vertex descriptor). At the moment I've cut and pasted transform_iterator.hpp, renamed it transmute_iterator.hpp and edited it to remove one char (the dereferencing *) just so as I can try things out. Oh, I am slow! I was going to ask if such an iterator could be added to boost lib but have just realised that it is trivial for a transmute_iterator to model a transform_iterator. Hmm, so my question now is - is there some reason why the base iterator is dereferenced before being passed to the function? Wouldn't it be better to let the function decide that? thanks, Louis. BTW, you guys write some really great stuff, it's very much appreciated. And C++ Template Metaprogramming is mind blowing (especially chapters 10++). -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

I have seen it already, thanks. There is nothing about it how to extract the headers and libs. Should I first compile the whole library and then extract it? Or perhaps first extract and then compile. In the second case I do not get any jam file. Can you help?

static assertion in date_serialization_demo
by Paolo Coletta 24 May '05

24 May '05

Hi, I've tried to build this simple code using vc 7.1 using namespace boost::gregorian; date d(2004, Apr, 5); std::ofstream ofs("date_demo.txt"); boost::archive::text_oarchive oa(ofs); oa << d; but it fails due to a static assertion. The code is taken from the very first lines of boost_serialization_demo.cpp. It seems to compile with boost 1.32, but seems to fail with current boost. Since this demo is not be included in the jamfile (or I was not able to find it), I built it is using visual studio IDE. The compiler command-line options were: /Od /D "WIN32" /D "_DEBUG" /D "_CONSOLE" /D "_MBCS" /Gm /EHsc /RTC1 /MLd /Fo"Debug/" /Fd"Debug/vc70.pdb" /W3 /nologo /c /Wp64 /ZI /TP I also tried to turn on/off the RTTI, but the result did not change. The error I get is d:\PROJECTS\boost\boost\archive\detail\oserializer.hpp(557) : error C2027: use of undefined type 'boost::STATIC_ASSERTION_FAILURE<x>' Am I missing something? Thanks, Paolo

Scoped_ptr + deleter

Why doesn't scoped_ptr have an additional template parameter to accept a deleter? Thanks Sohail

I > believe the general consensus on this is to use shared_ptr or > perhaps the upcoming policy_ptr. I also meant to mention that shared_ptr seems a little bit of overkill for wanting to use what is essentially scoped_ptr + a pointer to a deallocation function. Perhaps policy_ptr will be interesting.

shared pointer and WinCE
by Walter Fettich 23 May '05

23 May '05

Hello I'm having a problem when using shared pointers in Embedded Visual C++ .Net STLPort. When trying to compile I always get the error 'bad_alloc' : is not a member of 'stlp_std' in the file boost/detail/shared_count.hpp Do you know of any solution or what I can do to fix it? The macro BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS is defined. Is it a problem in STLPort or Boost? If I remove the namespace identifier then I get an "undeclarer identifier" error. If anyone has a working example of using STLPort and Boost shared pointers with Embedded Visual C++ 4 please post it. Thank You.

Minor Boost.Optional Documentation Nit
by Stuart Dootson 23 May '05

23 May '05

The Boost.Optional documentation (specifically, near http://www.boost.org/libs/optional/doc/optional.html#bool) says that Boost.Tribool isn't part of Boost - given that tribool debuted in Boost 1.32.0, I guess that's incorrect now... Stuart Dootson

Question
by Sliwa, Przemyslaw (London) 23 May '05

23 May '05

Guys, I was just wondering if it is possible to install just a part of the boost library? The current version is a bit "big" and there are certain libs which I o not need.
