Compilation question

Hi, I am a new user of the boost libs, so sorry for the supid questions. I am running into a compilation error while trying to compile listing 2 and listing 3 from Bill Kempf's article at http://www.cuj.com/articles/2002/0205/0205a/0205a.htm, giving simple usage examples of boost threads. 1. When I compile listing 2, the compiler chokes on the lines boost::thread thrd1(count(1)); boost::thread thrd2(count(2)); with the errors listing2.C:27: no matching function for call to `count (int)' listing2.C:28: no matching function for call to `count (int)' As you can see in the listing online, count is defined as 'struct count{...}' Upon perusal of threah.hpp, I see that, indeed, the class thread constructor is looking for a function, not a struct or class as count is defined in this code. Am I missing something, or is the code in error? 2. In listing 2, I get the following errors when compiling: listing3.C:29: no matching function for call to `bind ({unknown type}, int)' listing3.C:31: no matching function for call to `bind ({unknown type}, int)' This is in response to the lines: boost::thread thrd1(boost::bind(&count, 1)); boost::thread thrd2(boost::bind(&count, 2)); Again, am I missing something or what? I have pasted the code directly from the source as provided online. TIA for your help Richard

regex Guidance
by Duane Murphy 31 May '02

31 May '02

Fellow Boosters, I am looking for a little guidance with the regex library. I have an application that I would like to use regex for. I am new to regex so I am not sure how to approach it. Mostly I am reading. The examples so far have been very impressive, but so complicated as to make it difficult to understand how to do something simple. What I would like to do is process a string (or file) that has many symbols that are delimited with something like "&foo;". The delimiters are not that interesting. Just something to make them easy to locate. The string between the delimiters is then used to lookup a replacement string and substituted. I would search for something like "&.*;". The examples show how a basic search and replace would work, but how would I do something with a looked-up replace? ...Duane -- "If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy." - James Madison

regex and CodeWarrior?
by Duane Murphy 31 May '02

I am using Boost 1.27. Is there instructions or examples for how to use the regex library with Metrowerks CodeWarrior on a Macintosh (9.x)? ...Duane -- "If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy." - James Madison

regex++ error

Hello, it seems there's an error in reg_expression::operator< in regex_compile.hpp file: bool BOOST_REGEX_CALL reg_expression<charT, traits, Allocator>::operator<(const reg_expression<charT, traits, Allocator>& e)const { // // we can't offer a diffinitive ordering, but we can be consistant: if(_flags != e.flags()) return _flags < e.flags(); if(_expression_len != e._expression_len) return _expression_len < e._expression_len; //error //return std::memcmp(expression(), e.expression(), _expression_len); //right return std::memcmp(expression(), e.expression(), _expression_len) < 0; } The error makes (regular expressions with equal _flags and _expression_len) memcmp() result -1 and +1, to be coverted in the same true bool return value; Thanks, Adriano

RE: [Boost-Users] shared_ptr and lazy copy

There is an implementation of the method you described (const and non-const versions of operator-> and operator*) at the following website: http://ootips.org/yonat/4dev/ Perhaps this guy might be talked into submitting it. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Storer To: 'Boost-Users(a)yahoogroups.com' Sent: 5/30/2002 1:35 PM Subject: [Boost-Users] shared_ptr and lazy copy Is there an easier way to use shared_ptr as a lazy copy method? It seems to me that the only way to do it would be by testing unique() (or use_count()) every time the pointed-to object was to be changed: boost::shared_ptr<foo> bar(new foo); boost::shared_ptr<foo> baz = bar; if(!baz->unique()) ... // make a deep copy baz->ChangeAFoo(); I can't think of a good way to alter shared_ptr either.

Problem with Boost.Thread and HP aCC
by raulh39 29 May '02

29 May '02

We are trying to compile Boost.Thread with HP aCC (with -AA option). In boost/function/function_base.hpp the compiler give us this error: Error 20: "function_base.hpp", line 37 # '<type name>' expected before '>'. template<bool> struct truth {}; We are using Boost 1.28.0. The line 37 in function_base.hpp has: template<bool> struct truth {}; We have found two ways to make it work: 1.- Comment out the line !! 2.- Replace with: template<bool a> struct truth {}; We think that the compiler is wrong but, is ok to comment this line? In earlier versions of this file this line doesn't exists, and it is never used, so it is necesary? Regards, Raúl.

RE: [Boost-Users] Problem with Boost.Thread and HP aCC
by Tom Matelich 29 May '02

29 May '02

When I first started trying to support aCC with Boost that was a common issue. Most of them were ferreted out. I don't think anybody is actively looking at that compiler, perhaps Jens Maurer still is. Anyway, the proper solution is to name the template parameter, your option 2. I've cc'ed Bill Kempf in case he doesn't follow this list.

VC7, threads, and threads starting other threads
by Bill Eidson 28 May '02

28 May '02

Hi all, I am using boost 1.28 and the threads library on windows with VC7.Net. I am creating threads in a threadgroup use function objects. Inside of these threads, I am creating other threads again using function objects. The problem is at run time the debug environment is informing me of a call type collision indicating the return address/stack is set up incorrectly. The debug message: "The value of ESP was not properly saved across afunction call. This is usually a result of calling a function declared with one calling convention with a function pointer declared with a different calling convention." this is in the declaration template<typename Functor> void assign_to(Functor f) { this->assign_to(f,tag()); } The error is at the end of the function First, is it legal in boost::thread to start one thread in another Second, If it is, what is going on with the function_template.hpp code here Thanks bille
