Date Time lib and time_t
by Matt Schuckmann 28 Jul '04

28 Jul '04

Has anybody ever implimented a to_time_t function/method for the ptime class to create a time_t from a ptime. I tried doing it similar to the way from_time_t does it but I'm not getting the right answer. It's nice that you can convert from a time_t for use with legacy code but sometimes you need to go back the other way. Herer is my to_time_t function that does not appear to be working inline std::time_t to_time_t(ptime t) { if( t == neg_infin ) return 0; else if( t == pos_infin ) return LONG_MAX; ptime start(gregorian::date(1970,1,1),time_duration(0,0,0)); return (t-start).total_seconds(); } Thanks,

RE: [Boost-users] Re: Running boost::thread compiled on w2k on XP

This also isn't exactly what you are looking for, but I took built your test.cpp on vc7.1 running on windows XP using boost 1.31 (also built with vc7.1 running on windows XP). Both the debug (using boost_thread-vc71-mt-gd-1_31.dll) and the release (using boost_thread-vc71-mt-1_31.dll) builds of test.cpp worked fine. My boost dlls were built with all default settings (except I used the alternate namespace hack for boost::signals since we also use Qt). I don't have a boost 1.31 built on win2k to try. > >Perhaps I should add that I am using version 1.31 of boost.

[boost.build] Patch for python.jam
by Markus Schöpflin 28 Jul '04

28 Jul '04

Hello, attached is a patch for pyhton.jam which allows to use python installation on Unix which have been configured with different prefix and exec-prefix. Currently this is not supported by boost.build. The patch simply adds the missing include directory to the compiler command line as recommended in http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.4/api/includes.html . After applying the patch you can either use bjam -sPYTHON_ROOT=<prefix> or bjam -sPYTHON_ROOT=<prefix> -sPYTHON_EXEC_ROOT=<exec prefix> Markus --- net/src/orig/boost_1_31_0/tools/build/v1/python.jam 2004-01-28 23:52:25.000000000 +0100 +++ local/src/boost_1_31_0/tools/build/v1/python.jam 2004-07-28 16:15:37.000000000 +0200 @@ -118,7 +118,7 @@ { PYTHON_ROOT ?= /usr/local ; PYTHON_ROOT = $(PYTHON_ROOT:J=" ") ; - PYTHON_INCLUDES ?= $(PYTHON_ROOT)/include/python$(PYTHON_VERSION) ; + PYTHON_INCLUDES ?= $(PYTHON_ROOT)/include/python$(PYTHON_VERSION) $(PYTHON_EXEC_ROOT)/include/python$(PYTHON_VERSION) ; PYTHON_LIB_PATH ?= $(PYTHON_ROOT)/lib/python$(PYTHON_VERSION)/config ; PYTHON_PROPERTIES ?=

Bjam- racking my brain
by Brian Braatz 27 Jul '04

27 Jul '04

For the last several days (a few hours each day) I have been trying to get the \tools\build\v2\example\hello sample to build with bjam- (windows XP, vc7.1) I CAN build boost from the command line, but when I move into the \tools\build\v2\example\hello dir and try various combinations of bjam (with and without -sTools=vc7.1 etc..) I get the same error no matter what I do. I took the bjam sources and compiled a debug version in the Visual Studio IDE, and have spent the evening stepping through the code and reading the docs. This is one of these things I think that I just have to completely internalize how this thing works before I will crack this. What I am asking for from this list: * Any basic advice on debugging what bjam is doing * any basic advice or good sample that is a bare and working bjam project to look at * This is weird to me, as the ENV var for the toolset DOES work for building boost itself * I feel like I am missing something obvious and stupid, anyone who wishes to point out what dumb thing I missed, please go at it :) * any help in looking at this output: C:\Data\Rmtg\Root\_Common\_Lib\Boost\V_1_31\tools\build\v2\example\hello >bjam warning: no toolsets are configured. warning: you won't be able to build C++ programs. warning: please consult the documentation.

long long support with GCC
by Aaron W. LaFramboise 27 Jul '04

27 Jul '04

Hi, As I'm sure you know, long long and unsigned long long are supported by GCC in C++. However, -std=c++98 (not quite sure why, to be honest) and -pedantic cause lots of warnings and errors to be generated in the Boost headers when long long is used. In my project, it is desirable to use these flags for other reasons, but the effect these flags have on the Boost headers is decidedly undesirable. So far, I've been wrapping the Boost headers in forwarding headers that mark the Boost headers as system headers so that they compile without warning or error. Is there any disadvantage to doing this? GCC supports long long even with the above options, but only if __extension__ is used. I notice that there a Boost-standard 64bit type, boost::int64_t. Is there some reason that this can't be typedef'ed using the GCC extension, and then this identifier used in all places where 'long long' is being used? Are there type system rules that prevent this, or some other reason? Thank you for your consideration, Aaron W. LaFramboise

building boost on vc7.1 with stlport

i first compiled (succesfully) stlport 4.6.2. then i ran "bjam "-sTOOLS=vc7.1-stlport" install" and it failed compiling the regex library. then i manually went to the libs\regex\build folder and ran "nmake /f vc7.1-stlport clean install" and it compiled the first thing ok and the 2nd time around threw a LOT of linker errors (well, only ~49, but they're stl-style-long :D).

As a general rule, functors are expected to be copiable and not to have mutable state of their own.

regex bug (regex_search throws bad_expression)

hi! using the latest regex patch and vc7.1 i've accidentally encountered the following: ... regex re("([^\n]*\\n+\\s+)+NEEDEDSUBITEM2:[^\\s]"); bool matched = regex_search(text, re); // bad_expression ... i figured out those \\s -s may cause the problem. sample text attached. and one question: having "DATA.*?ITEM1(ITEM2)?" and an input like "DATA ITEM1 ITEM1ITEM2" should ITEM2 be extracted? i think it would be good to make a note on this case in the doc. yours, adam begin 666 match_test.txt M#0I)5$5-5%E014$Z#0H@(" @4U5"251%33$Z('AX> T*#0H@(" @3D5%1$5$ M4U5"251%33$Z(" @('AX>'@-"B @("!.145$141354))5$5-.B @("!X>'AX M#0H-"DE414U465!%0CH-"B @("!354))5$5-,3H@>'AX#0H-"B @("!.145$ M141354))5$5-,3H@(" @>'AX> T*(" @($Y%141%1%-50DE414TR.B @("!X '>'AX#0H-"@`` ` end
