Re: Sun Solaris Forte 8 and boost_1_31_0

Hi, I've also tried to compile RegEx with Forte 8. Did you try that? I think I managed to get things to compile, but unfortunately, when I try to compile it in 64-bit mode, we still get problems. Is there any chance you've tried compiling it in 64-bits? Thanks.

Problem about build regex under win32 using stlpot5.0
by huangliang 12 Jul '04

12 Jul '04

Recently I begin to use stlport in my programs, and I want to build boost regex under win32 using vc6 and stlport 5.0. But when I build them,the following errors occurs: C:\lib\boost-1.30.2\libs\regex\build>set MSVCDIR= D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Bin C:\lib\boost-1.30.2\libs\regex\build>set STLPORT_PATH=E:/HuangLiang/c++stl/STLport-5.0-1031 C:\lib\boost-1.30.2\libs\regex\build>nmake -fvc6-stlport.mak cl /nologo /MT /W3 /GX /O2 /GB /GF /Gy /IE:/HuangLiang/c++stl/STLport-5.0-1031\stlport /I..\..\..\ /D_MT /DWIN32 /DNDEBUG /D_MBCS /D_LIB /YX /FD /c -Fpvc6-stlport/boost_regex_vc6-stlport_mss/boost_regex_vc6-stlport_mss.pch -Fo./vc6-stlport/boost_regex_vc6-stlport_mss/ -Fdvc6-stlport/boost_regex_vc6-stlport_mss.pdb ../src/cpp_regex_traits.cpp cpp_regex_traits.cpp ../src/cpp_regex_traits.cpp(662) : error C2660: 'isspace' : function does not take 2 parameters ../src/cpp_regex_traits.cpp(662) : fatal error C1903: unable to recover from previous error(s); stopping compilation After I searched msdn, I found that isspace have been defined at 2 places: isspace template<class E> bool isspace(E c, const locale& loc) const; The template function returns use_facet< ctype<E> >(loc). is(ctype<E>:: space, c). and in ctype.h. I remember when I compile regex using vc6 without stlport, no same errors occured. I need some help about what has happened with me. Thank you !

I have been looking at Andre Alexandrescu's book Modern C++ Design. He has the Loki library in there. That has all of the pieces that are needed. Does anyone know of any issue with mixing Boost, ATL and Loki? A side question is has anyone looked at merging the Loki library into the Boost library. It seems like a really great fit as the Loki library deals with a different set of problems.

Failed build using vc7.1
by Owen Jacobson 09 Jul '04

Salve. I'm trying to use boost.threads in my project, as they look like the cleanest cross-platform threading interface I've seen in a while, and I'm running into a wee problem convincing the libraries to build. My setup: Windows 2000 SP 4 Microsoft Visual C++ 7.1 (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\VC7\) MS SDK (U:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK) Boost 1.31.0 (C:\boost_1_31_0, installing to C:\boost) Cygwin is installed, but not present in PATH; I am not using cygwin to build this project, only to run PostgreSQL. Python is not installed, as I have no need for it. Visual C++ 6.0 is also installed (for legacy projects), but not present in PATH. bjam is present in PATH, as downloaded from Sourceforge. C:\boost_1_31_0> bjam -v Boost.Jam Version 3.1.9. OS=NT.

Any suggestions? Owen

mpl::vector -> boost::tuple
by Markus Werle 09 Jul '04

09 Jul '04

Hi! The example in libs/mpl/example/tuple_from_list.cpp and gen_linear_hierarchy from http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/boost/1166644 template< typename Types, typename Unit, typename Root = mpl::none > struct gen_linear_hierarchy { typedef typename mpl::fold<Types,Unit,Root> ::type type; // here }; /* usage example: template< class Base, class T > struct EventHander : public Base { virtual void OnEvent(T& obj, int eventID) = 0; }; typedef gen_linear_hierarchy< mpl::list<Window,Button,ScrollBar> , EventHander<_1,_2> > ::type v; */ all seem to me work fine with default constructible types. What I need is a type generator which provides a constructor, such that code like this one works for mpl::vectors (or other mpl::sequences) with arbitrary length: ------------- class C { C(std::string const & gaga) {} }; struct gen_linear_hierarchy_with_constructor // your idea missing here { // and here }; typedef gen_linear_hierarchy_with_constructor<mpl::vector<C, C> >::type mytuple; mytuple mt("test", "Thanks for your help"); ------------------ Markus P.S.: David and Aleksey, if you read this here: I could not find your "coming soon" book at awprofessional.com. What's the current state of the book I wait for so long already ...

Adapting Iterator Adaptor
by Duane Murphy 08 Jul '04

08 Jul '04

We are still using boost 1.27. We are getting to the point that there are features of the latest boost release that we want to use. Of course there are barriers. One barrier is iterator_adaptor. Iterator_adapter went through a significant rewrite. We have several (>10) iterators written using the older implementation. We are trying to gauge the impact of changing to the latest boost. Do we need to largely rewrite these iterators? Is the interface close enough for this to be a reasonably simple task? Simply how do we get our old iterators to the new adaptor? Thanks for the help, ...Duane

Generic Class Factory
by Mark Loew 08 Jul '04

08 Jul '04

I have to create a class factory and was looking for a generic class factory that I could work with. I looked in the boost documentation but didn't find anything. Is there something there that I am missing or do I need to roll my own?

It's not part of boost, but have a look at: http://www.cuj.com/documents/s=7994/cujcexp1906hyslop/ There's a follow-up in the July and August, 2003 print editions of CUJ. -- Jim Hyslop Senior Software Designer Leitch Technology International Inc.

Feature request for boost::filesystem
by Delfin Rojas 07 Jul '04

07 Jul '04

Hello everybody, I'm new to this mailing list. The first thing I should say is I love boost and I think it is a great library and I'm really thankful to all its contributors. Now, that being said, I'm sending this email to ask about a feature in the boost::filesystem library that I believe would be valuable to have. Currently the only library that supports file and directory operations in boost is boost::filesystem. Thanks tot hat library I don't have to use platform specific file manipulation rutines for things like copying a file, deleting all files in a directory, iterating through a directory, etc. Now, all the operations in boost::filesystem take a boost::filesystem::path as an object encapsulating a platform independent "path" to a file or a directory. My problem is this path can only be built using a single char (ANSI) character string. This doesn't allow me to use boost::filesystem in windows with Unicode support since I cannot convert a wide string (UTF16) path to a boost::filesystem::path object. I believe it must not be too difficult to add Unicode path support to boost::filesystem since only the "path" class would need to be modified I think. Another small feature I think could be interesting is a convenience function to set the current path (cd operation). There is a function already to get the current path but not to set it. I do not know if this is the right group to ask for these features. If not please point me in the right direction. Thanks a lot Delfin Rojas Delfin(a)moodlogic.com
