Licence terms
by Ben Hutchings 01 May '03

01 May '03

Where should I post to ask questions and make suggestions about licence terms for Boost libraries? I am specifically concerned about the large number of slightly different wordings of some of the licences, which I think would all have to be included in documentation of a program using the covered libraries.

When the last shared_ptr referencing &a goes away, it will try to delete a, which is illegal. There is a workaround defined at http://www.boost.org/libs/smart_ptr/sp_techniques.html#static , though. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER: Information contained in this message and/or attachment(s) may contain confidential information of Zetec, Inc.

ptime and time_duration
by Andre du Toit 30 Apr '03

30 Apr '03

Hi. Since time_duration uses <long> to represent each of the fields (H:M:S:FS), I should be able to add any hour offset to a ptime, as long as the resultant ptime is inside the date/time range representable by boost? With the date ranges of boost being 1400-Jan-1 00:00:00 -> 10000-Jan-1 00:00:00, the number of hours between these dates is (very roughly!) 7.534E7. This is less than the <long> limit on my system, which is +/- 2.147E9. That is good. So; doing the following: ptime t_max( date(10000,Jan,1) ); ptime t_min( date(1400,Jan,1) ); time_duration td = t_max - t_min; std::cout << to_simple_string( td ) << std::endl; should produce something like : 7.534E7:0:0 or if you want to write it out: 7533600:0:0 not? Instead; the output I get is : 224112:19:12. This corresponds to a timespan of roughly 25 years which means I just ran into some overflow/underflow problem somewhere. What gives? What time range is supported by time_duration if it does not use the <long> limits? I have difficulty deducing this information from the header files, the source for the lib is not too helpfull either! What am I missing here? Greetings, Andre.

running regression tests
by Vaclav Vesely 30 Apr '03

30 Apr '03

It's possible to execute all regression tests so it's possible to execute one test suite: bjam test or bjam filesystem But it's impossible to execute several (but not all) test suits at once: bjam config filesystem Only the last (filesystem) suit is executed. It's possible to improve testing.jam to allow it? Can someone give a bit of advice? Thanks and regards, w

boost::spirit multiline comment parsing - how?
by Markus Werle 30 Apr '03

30 Apr '03

Hi! While playing around with the examples of the spirit library I feel like I missed some essential points. The far goal I have is to parse a file containing C/C++ comments and assignments of the form name = value; where I drop the comments and store the assignments in a map<string, string>. If You have done something similar, please share Your knowledge with the rest of us. Below is a modifed version of comments.cpp. Here I only try to output any comment found while dropping the other stuff. Why does the parser drop stuff after the 1st assignment? the output of the code is Parsed C-comment successfully! Matched (27) characters: "//test2 /* test1 */// test Any help appreciated. Also I would like not to gather all commenst in one string ... -------- #include "boost/spirit.hpp" #include <iterator> #include <string> #include <iostream> #include <cassert> #include <fstream> #include <map> #include <cassert> /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // actor called after successfully matching a single character class actor_string { public: actor_string(std::string &rstr) : matched(rstr) { } void operator() (const char *pbegin, const char *pend) const { matched += std::string(pbegin, pend-pbegin); } private: std::string &matched; }; /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // actor called after successfully matching a C++-comment void actor_cpp (const char *pfirst, const char *plast) { std::cerr << "Parsing C++-comment" << std::endl; std::cerr << "Matched (" << plast-pfirst << ") characters: "; char cbbuffer[128]; strncpy(cbbuffer, pfirst, plast-pfirst); cbbuffer[plast-pfirst] = '\0'; std::cerr << "\"" << cbbuffer << "\"" << std::endl; } /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // main entry point int main () { using namespace boost::spirit; ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// char const* pCComment = "//test2\n/* test1 */\n\n// test\nalpha = 3.0;\n\n// beta is soo important\nbeta=5.6;\n\n/* \n\nSometimes comments are\ngood since\nbeta = 4.5;\nis a good choice, too\n\n*/"; typedef skipper_iteration_policy<> iter_policy_t; typedef scanner_policies<iter_policy_t> scanner_policies_t; typedef scanner<char const*, scanner_policies_t> phrase_scanner_t; rule<phrase_scanner_t> cpp_comment, ignored, all; cpp_comment = comment_p("/*", "*/") // rule for C-comments | comment_p("//") // rule for C++ comments ; std::string comment_c; all = ( *cpp_comment[actor_string(comment_c)] | *anychar_p ) ; ignored = (space_p | chlit<char>('\n')); parse_info<> result; result = parse (pCComment, all, space_p); if (result.hit) { std::cerr << "Parsed C-comment successfully!" << std::endl; std::cerr << "Matched (" << comment_c.size() << ") characters: "; std::cerr << "\"" << comment_c << "\"" << std::endl; } else { std::cerr << "Failed to parse C/C++-comment!" << std::endl; } std::cerr << std::endl; } Markus -- Compile time analytic differentiation?

bjam - several projects and ALL_LOCATE_TARGET
by Vaclav Vesely 30 Apr '03

30 Apr '03

Hi, I would like to ask for help with using bjam. I want to have more project directory trees, for example: C:\src\boost C:\src\my_projects\first C:\src\my_projects\first and I want to compile binaries to separate directories: C:\build\boost C:\build\my_projects\first C:\build\my_projects\second So I have to set different values of the ALL_LOCATE_TARGET environment variable for each project. It's unconfortable to set that value each time I want to inovoke the bjam, so I want to set it in the Jamfile of each project. I mean somethin like this: --- C:\src\my_first_project\Jamfile --- project-root ; ALL_LOCATE_TARGET = C:\build\my_projects\first --- Of course, this doesn't work. Can someone propose the solustion? BTW it would be handy to use the "project-root" directive for this reason: --- C:\src\my_first_project\Jamfile --- project-root my_projects/first ; --- The specified path is ment as relative to the ALL_LOCATE_TARGET. Thanks and regards, w

tokenizer: finding the last element. is it possible?
by Vincent LaBella 30 Apr '03

30 Apr '03

Hello, I'm using boost::tokenizer and want to goto the last token in the sequence, so I tried Tok::iterator last = tok.end(); last--; // error decrement not defined last = tok.begin(); advance(last,tok.size()-1); // error size() not defined. Is it possible to add decrement or a back() reference to tokenizer? Thanks Vince

scoped_ptr(auto_ptr) constructor
by Daniel Franklin 29 Apr '03

29 Apr '03

Is the constructor for scoped_ptr that takes an auto_ptr argument part of the proposed standard? The boost documentation makes no mention of it, yet it exists in the implementation as: explicit scoped_ptr(std::auto_ptr<T> p): ptr(p.release()) // never throws { } Personally I think it should be included in the proposed standard if it is not. I can't see any reason why it shouldn't be, as it doesn't seem to break the fundamental concepts behind auto_ptrs (ownership transferal) or scoped_ptrs (sole ownership). Ownership of the object is transfered from the auto_ptr to the scoped_ptr, and thereafter retained solely by that scoped_ptr. Regards, Daniel Franklin
