PreProcessor Library and Class Constructors
by Paul Grenyer 08 Feb '04

08 Feb '04

Hi All I fear I may be trying to get a square peg in a round hole, but here goes anyway... I'm trying to use the boost PreProcessor library to generate constructors with varying numbers of parameters. I've tried the following: #include <boost/preprocessor/arithmetic/inc.hpp> #include <boost/preprocessor/punctuation/comma_if.hpp> #include <boost/preprocessor/repetition.hpp> #ifndef MAX_CONCRETE_CONSTRUCTOR_PARAMS #define MAX_CONCRETE_CONSTRUCTOR_PARAMS 3 #endif #define CONCRETE_CONSTRUCTOR(Z, N, _) \ template<class R BOOST_PP_COMMA_IF(N) BOOST_PP_ENUM_PARAMS(N, class A)> \ explicit Concrete( BOOST_PP_ENUM_PARAMS(N, A) ) \ { } class Concrete { public: BOOST_PP_REPEAT(BOOST_PP_INC(MAX_CONCRETE_CONSTRUCTOR_PARAMS), CONCRETE_CONSTRUCTOR, _) }; int main() { Concrete a( 1, 2 ); return EXIT_SUCCESS; } But this gives me the following error: error C2660: 'Concrete::Concrete' : function does not take 2 arguments I have feeling I'm doing something very wrong or that can't be done.

RE: [Boost-users] configuring boost on MS Visual Studio 6 where t he installation drive isn't C:
by Administrator 07 Feb '04

Wayne, There might still be conflicts if the compiler can't place everything into it's proper namespace. In addition, some sdk's force everything into std namespace or into the global namespace. If you use "using namespace boost;", you're basically doing the same thing. There are a couple of options that could be used separately. 1. One is to not use "using namespace". Preface everything used from there with boost:: or std::. More typing, less pain, less chance for conflict. 2. The second is wrap the offending sdk in it's own namespace. Here is what I have come up with. I have three files here. c.h is the original function. b.h wraps it in it's own namespace, and main.cpp can only use it with the new namespace. Simple example, but hopefully it illustrates what I'm trying to get across. -------------------------------------------------- c.h ------------------------------------------------- #ifndef _C_H #define _C_H inline int garbage_method() { return 0; } #endif // -------------------------------------------------- b.h -------------------------------------------------- #ifndef _B_H #define _B_H namespace garbage_namespace { #include "c.h" } #endif // -------------------------------------------------- main.cpp -------------------------------------------------- #include "b.h" int main() { return garbage_namespace::garbage_method(); } -----Original Message----- From: Dernoncourt, Wayne CTR NAVAIR 3184, ,10 [mailto:wayne.dernoncourt@navy.mil] Sent: Friday, February 06, 2004 5:43 AM To: Boost Users mailing list Subject: RE: [Boost-users] configuring boost on MS Visual Studio 6 where the installation drive isn't C: Well that worked much better as far as it went (747 updated files out of 747 targets wth no skipped files and no failures).

From a cursory examination of the two implementations, it appears that both the two are very similiar in functionality if not implementation. The issue with min/max could be eliminated by commenting out line 59 of boost/config/stllib/dinkumware.hpp (line defines BOOST_NO_STD_MIN_MAX). There doesn't appear to be a similiar line for the reverse iterator. One of the issues appears to be that this third party SDK doesn't seem to use namespaces for the SDK. From my limited understanding, for namespaces to be used effectively, the different libraries/SDK's would need to be in their own namespaces. If Boost had theirs and the third party used the global namespaces, there could still be conflicts. Is my understanding correct?

Conversions between shared_ptr<Base> and shared_ptr<Derived>
by Joshua Little 07 Feb '04

07 Feb '04

I've been using shared pointers for a few months now and just discovered I have been using them the wrong way, causing massive memory leaks. So I'm going back through my code and cleaning everything up and making the changes to correct all the mistakes I had been making. So now I've run into a bit of a problem. I'm using Boost 1.30.2 currently and I have function that takes in a Base class to place into a vector, but I have a number of Derived classes that will be going into the vector as well. From reading through the docs and the mailing lists everything seems to indicate that the conversion should be implicit and there shouldn't be a problem. I have the feeling I am missing something here so I was wondering if someone could point out my error. So I have something like this: std::vector<boost::shared_ptr<Base> > BaseVector; void add(boost::shared_ptr<Base>& newOne) { BaseVector.push_back(newOne); } and I call it like this usually : boost::shared_ptr<Derived> p(new Derived); add(p); I thought that it would work just like using raw pointers (which was working) but I get a compile time error that : no matching function call to add(boost::shared_ptr<Derived>&) canadites are add(boost::shared_ptr<Base>&).. ect. So I think I'm doing this the wrong way, about the only thing I can think of was something I saw in a few postings. Essentially creating a new pointer with the derived pointer then passing it into the function like this : boost::shared_ptr<Derived> p(new Derived); boost::shared_ptr<Base> q(p); add(q); Is that the preferred way of doing it? Or is there another step I'm missing when creating the shared_ptrs to allow them to be implicitly converted? Thanks, Joshua.

The ./configure script is a bourne shell script, but there is no obvious way of running that script in Windows.

Problem using new regex library
by John Eddy 06 Feb '04

06 Feb '04

Hello, I have just downloaded and installed 1.31.0. I am using MS VC7 and am having the following problem: The following code will not compile (whereas it did previously) #include <locale> using namespace std; #include <boost/regex.hpp> int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { return 0; } The error reported is as follows: regbase.hpp(120) : error C2955: 'std::collate' : use of class template requires template argument list The offending line of code is: collate = ::boost::regbase::collate, which is one member of an enumeration. The code looks fine to me so this seems to be a problem with the compiler. Has anyone already dealt with this? Thanks, John
