[newbie] building serialization library

hi, Is it possible to build the boost serialization library using VC6 compiler. --annamalai -----Original Message----- From: boost-users-bounces(a)lists.boost.org [mailto:boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org]On Behalf Of Frank Brown Sent: Thursday, December 16, 2004 6:37 AM To: boost-users(a)lists.boost.org Subject: [Boost-users] newbie build question sorry if this has been asked before, it's very elementary but i can't find references in the archives or faq so here goes: i just installed boost libraries and built them via bjam. they seemed to build successfully. i'm using the vc7.1 compiler. when i try to compile (cl) a .cpp file containing the following include #include <boost/regex.hpp> i get the following: testBoost.cpp(8) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'boost/regex.hpp': No such file or directory if i replace the include with the actual file spec like this: #include "C:\Boost\include\boost-1_32\boost\regex.hpp" i get the following compiler error: testboost.cpp C:\Boost\include\boost-1_32\boost\regex.hpp(28) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'boost/regex/config.hpp': No such file or directory apparently the compiler (cl) isn't translating <boost>. since one boost header refers to others i need to fix this basic problem. i tried substituting the bjam.exe in place of cl to compile, then i get a different error: Unable to load Boost.Build: could not find "boost-build.jam" --------------------------------------------------------------- Attempted search from D:\c\whereis up to the root so i'm sorry to bother y'all with such a simple problem, all i need to know is how to compile (the 'hello world' scenario). thanks for your attention. -frank brown (stupid jerk) http://www.inwa.net/~frog _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users(a)lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users

boost::serialize on Codewarrior 8.3 (Mac)
by Ryan Wilcox 22 Dec '04

22 Dec '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello all, I would like to use boost::serialize for one of my projects, using Codewarrior 8.3 (going to CW 9 may or may not be in the picture), on Mac OS X (10.3.x) Anyway, I've been working on getting the unit tests for boost::serialize up and running inside the Codewarrior IDE. I created a new project file (C++, Mac OS Carbon, Console), included a serialize unit test, set the paths correctly, included the files I thought I would need for boost::test stuff, all that jazz. The test that I'm trying out now, in the serialization test suite, is test_binary.cpp. Trying to compile it gave me some immediate compiler errors (which I fixed by #including some additional source files: "binary_archive.hpp", "stdio.h" (tmpnam is in stdio.h in CW, and not cstdio). At the end I have just one error which I don't understand (both because the error message is hard to parse, and I'm fairly new to the boost libraries in general). Here, for completeness, is the error message: Error : illegal use of abstract class ('boost::archive::detail::basic_iserializer::load_object_data(boost::archive::detail::basic_iarchive &, void *, const unsigned int) const') ~ (point of instantiation: 'test_main(int, char **)') ~ (instantiating: 'boost::archive::detail::interface_iarchive<boost::archive::binary_iarchive>::operator>><boost::serialization::nvp<A>>(const boost::serialization::nvp<A> &)') ~ (instantiating: 'boost::archive::binary_iarchive_impl<boost::archive::binary_iarchive>::load_override<boost::serialization::nvp<A>>(boost::serialization::nvp<A> &, int)') ~ (instantiating: 'boost::archive::basic_binary_iarchive<boost::archive::binary_iarchive>::load_override<boost::serialization::nvp<A>>(boost::serialization::nvp<A> &, int)') ~ (instantiating: 'boost::archive::load<boost::archive::binary_iarchive, boost::serialization::nvp<A>>(boost::archive::binary_iarchive &, boost::serialization::nvp<A> &)') ~ (instantiating: 'boost::archive::detail::load_non_pointer_type<boost::archive::binary_iarchive, boost::serialization::nvp<A>>::invoke(boost::archive::binary_iarchive &, boost::serialization::nvp<A> &)') ~ (instantiating: 'boost::archive::detail::load_non_pointer_type<boost::archive::binary_iarchive, boost::serialization::nvp<A>>::load_only::invoke(boost::archive::binary_iarchive &, boost::serialization::nvp<A> &)') ~ (instantiating: 'boost::serialization::serialize_adl<boost::archive::binary_iarchive, boost::serialization::nvp<A>>(boost::archive::binary_iarchive &, boost::serialization::nvp<A> &, const unsigned int)') ~ (instantiating: 'boost::serialization::serialize<boost::archive::binary_iarchive, boost::serialization::nvp<A>>(boost::archive::binary_iarchive &, boost::serialization::nvp<A> &, const unsigned int)') ~ (instantiating: 'boost::serialization::access::serialize<boost::archive::binary_iarchive, boost::serialization::nvp<A>>(boost::archive::binary_iarchive &, boost::serialization::nvp<A> &, const unsigned int)') ~ (instantiating: 'boost::serialization::nvp<A>::serialize<boost::archive::binary_iarchive>(boost::archive::binary_iarchive &, const unsigned int) const') ~ (instantiating: 'boost::archive::detail::interface_iarchive<boost::archive::binary_iarchive>::operator&<A>(A &)') ~ (instantiating: 'boost::archive::binary_iarchive_impl<boost::archive::binary_iarchive>::load_override<A>(A &, int)') ~ (instantiating: 'boost::archive::basic_binary_iarchive<boost::archive::binary_iarchive>::load_override<A>(A &, int)') ~ (instantiating: 'boost::archive::load<boost::archive::binary_iarchive, A>(boost::archive::binary_iarchive &, A &)') ~ (instantiating: 'boost::archive::detail::load_non_pointer_type<boost::archive::binary_iarchive, A>::invoke(boost::archive::binary_iarchive &, A &)') ~ (instantiating: 'boost::archive::detail::load_non_pointer_type<boost::archive::binary_iarchive, A>::load::invoke(boost::archive::binary_iarchive &, A &)') ~ (instantiating: 'boost::archive::detail::iserializer<boost::archive::binary_iarchive, A>::instantiate()') iserializer.hpp line 142 static iserializer instance; _____ I don't, really, understand why there's an error here, as iserializer is ~ a non-abstract type (as far as I can see), but it looks like there's plenty of template stuff going on, and there may be a clue in there.

program_options custom type problem
by Jacques Kerner 22 Dec '04

22 Dec '04

Hi, I am trying to use a custom type with the program_options library, but I get the "invalid option value" error when running my application, although inline parameters are correctly read. Here is what I do : I define a class ApplicationLocator consisting of two integer members, "site" and "application" and the corresponding >> and << operator towards and from stringstream. The following method in lexical_cast.hpp returns false : bool operator>>(InputStreamable &output) { return !is_pointer<InputStreamable>::value && stream >> output && (stream >> std::ws).eof(); } which results in an exception being thrown eventually, by this code (also in lexical_cast.hpp) : template<typename Target, typename Source> Target lexical_cast(Source arg) { detail::lexical_stream<Target, Source> interpreter; Target result; if(!(interpreter << arg && interpreter >> result)) throw_exception(bad_lexical_cast(typeid(Target), typeid(Source))); return result; } The problem is that my >> operator returns true alright. Maybe I am wrong, but apparently what returns false is (stream >> std::ws).eof(); which I do not quite understand, let alone know how to avoid. Could someone kindly give me guidance on this ? Here is my custom type related code : #include <strstream> #include <boost/algorithm/string/split.hpp> #include <boost/lambda/lambda.hpp> class ApplicationLocator { public: ApplicationLocator() : site(0), application(0) {} ApplicationLocator(const int & aSite, const int & anApplication) : site(aSite), application(anApplication) {} int site; int application; }; bool operator>>(const std::stringstream & input, ApplicationLocator &output) { std::vector<std::string> splitString; boost::algorithm::split( splitString, std::string(input.str()), boost::lambda::_1=='.' ); if (splitString.size() > 1) { output.site = atoi(splitString[0].c_str()); output.application = atoi(splitString[1].c_str()); return true; } else { return true; } return true; } std::stringstream & operator<<(std::stringstream & output, const ApplicationLocator & input) { output << input.site << "." << input.application << '\0'; return output; } and the program_options related code : boost::program_options::positional_options_description positional; boost::program_options::variables_map configurationVariablesMap; try { boost::program_options::options_description desc("Allowed options"); desc.add_options() ("help,h", "produce help message") ("self-id,s", boost::program_options::value<ApplicationLocator>()->default_value(ApplicationLocator(1,1)), "This application's DIS identifier : site.application (separated by a dot)") ("instructor-id,i", boost::program_options::value<ApplicationLocator>()->default_value(ApplicationLocator(2,1)), "This instructor's DIS identifier : site.application (separated by a dot)") ; boost::program_options::store(boost::program_options::command_line_parser(argc, argv).options(desc).run(), configurationVariablesMap); boost::program_options::notify(configurationVariablesMap); if (configurationVariablesMap.count("help")) { std::cout << "Usage: options_description [options]\n"; std::cout << desc; return 0; } } catch(exception& e) { std::cout << e.what() << std::endl; return 1; } Thank you all in advance.

multi_index : performance issue

Building with Mingw under XP
by Ken Perry 22 Dec '04

22 Dec '04

I am not sure if this has been asked before I tryed searching the archives but there was no search function and a whole bunch of topics. My problem is I am using Mingw under windows xp Pro. I am trying to get the libraries to compile and install in c:\boost which from what I have read is the default directory. when I do bjam --install -sTOOLS=mingw It seems to compile the libraries of corse I think 88 of them fail but it doesn't move the libraries over. What am I doing wrong? Oh one more thing it complains that I don't have python installed at the beginning do I have to have that library because I don't use it in the source I am porting from Linux I just need the boost libraries to get the software ported.

boost::posix_time::ptime - Parsing time - clarification
by Rakesh Kumar 22 Dec '04

22 Dec '04

Hi, I was going through the API to parse a date-time field. I came across the boost library regarding the same. #include "boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time.hpp" using namespace boost::posix_time; #include <iostream> #include <cstdlib> using std::cout; int main() { std::string ts("2002-01-20 23:59:59.000"); ptime t(time_from_string(ts)); cout << to_simple_string(t); return EXIT_SUCCESS; } This example compiled fine and gave me the right results. But suppose if I have another date representation as follows. 06 Dec 2004 10:40:58.000 If I enter the same string and try to parse from it, the method time_from_string aborts. I was wondering if there is any way I can tell time_from_string the format and try to parse from it. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

[program_options] option mnemonics
by Joe Higham 21 Dec '04

21 Dec '04

In addition to the ability to define a long and short (one character) name for an option, is there a way to provide an "in-between" name? This way an alias, acronym, or mnemonic version could be provided. For example: desc.add_options() ( "very-long-option-name,vlon,v", value< string >, "a long option name" ) ; and cout << desc would print something like: -v | -vlon | --very-long-option-name arg : a long option name I would also not mind giving up the single-character version in favor of a mnemonic: desc.add_options() ( "very-long-option-name,vlon", value< string >, "a long option name" ) ; cout << desc would print: -vlon [--very-long-option-name] arg : a long option name -- Joe Higham / Blue Sky Studios
