by Raghavendra Raaghu 23 Apr '13

23 Apr '13

Hi all, I'm a newbie in c++ and i want to use boost::wave library to preprocess a c file. I found a exe file in boost site which works fine. But i want a similar executable/binary for Solaris 10/11.I'm using g++. I've installed boost in both solaris 10 and 11. But how i'm getting a wierd linker error with too big error message. Any help is greatly appreciated. thanks Raghu

newbie trying use boost using INTEL compilter
by Per Zetterberg 23 Apr '13

23 Apr '13

Dear All, I built boost_1_53_0 using the intel compiler (__INTEL_COMPILER is 1310). It seemed to work great. However, when I try to compile my app (also using intel compiler) I get the following error: ../core/four_multi.cpp(675): error: class "boost::asio::ip::basic_resolver_iterator<boost::asio::ip::tcp>" has no suitable copy constructor The code has previously compiler and worked great using the gcc. Any help would be highly appreciated. BR/ Per Zetterberg

boost::bind issues

Hello all: I'm having some issues with boost::bind. I'm using it as normal, but I'm still getting a ton of errors: In file included from staticObject.h:7:0, from staticObject.cpp:6: olc.h: In instantiation of ‘class OlcEntry<boost::function<std::basic_string<char>()__attribute__((const))>, boost::function<void(const std::basic_string<char>&)> >’: staticObject.cpp:160:60: required from here olc.h:43:5: error: ‘OlcEntry<G, S>::_getter’ has incomplete type here's what the specific lines on staticObject.cpp looks like: sgroup->AddEntry(new OlcStringEntry("name", "Sets the name of the object", OF_NORMAL, boost::bind(&StaticObject::GetName, _1), boost::bind(&StaticObject::SetName, _1, _2))); and here's the incomplete type deal. typedef boost::function<std::string () const> StringGetter; typedef boost::function<void (const std::string&)> StringSetter; template <class G, class S> class OlcEntry:public IOlcEntry { protected: G _getter; S _setter; public: OlcEntry(const std::string &name, const std::string &help, FLAG flag, const G& getter, const S& setter) :IOlcEntry(name, help, flag) { _setter = setter; _getter = getter; } ... }; Any ideas/help would be awesome.

[serialization] Custom Shared pointer
by Jari 22 Apr '13

22 Apr '13

hi i have couple questions about boost serilazation regarding shared pointers. First off i was wondering if boost::shared_ptr has working serilazation code? if so maybe i can learn from there. What's im trying to do is save fairly simple custom shared-pointer class. All it should take is to save the pointer in the class and ref count as well the Parent variable which is pointer to the parent shared-pointer. what needs to be considered for this? should i disable tracking for the shared-pointer and does the pointer stored in the shared-pointer require some special considerations? thanks.

boost.log linker issue
by Jonathan Walker 22 Apr '13

22 Apr '13

Hello, I have previously successfully compiled and built the dynamic boost.log libraries with MSVC-8.0, along with a few test programs that were linking to the boost libs dynamically. The test program was built and ran fine. I have now built boost.log static libraries with MSVC-10.0 without issue, yet my test program is now failing to build when attempting to link statically. See attachment for specific errors. It seems as though the project is including the headers with the <dllimport> tag, though my MSVC-10.0 project does not have BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK or BOOST_LOG_DYN_LINK macro defined. Is there some way I need to signal my project that I'm using boost.log statically? Thanks, Jonathan ________________________________ This e-mail and any attachments are confidential.

Interprocess cleanup
by Davies, John 22 Apr '13

22 Apr '13

I'm running unit tests using Boost::test that starts up Boost threads, shared memory, and message queues. There are multiple tests in the suite. While writing a test it can fail prematurely and leave behind shared memory and message queues. Then when I run the tests again I can have trouble with mutexes, etc that already exist. I am working under Windows but eventually will be moving to Linux. Is there some way (other than rebooting) to force a cleanup of all the system objects that are created in the background? Or even a way of determining what has outlived its usefulness? Thanks. ___________________________________ John Davies Contractor Home Respiratory Care Philips Home Healthcare Solutions 1740 Golden Mile Highway Monroeville, PA 15146 Email: john.davies(a)philips.com Fax: 724-387-4109 ________________________________ The information contained in this message may be confidential and legally protected under applicable law.

boost::bind issues revisited
by Littlefield, Tyler 22 Apr '13

22 Apr '13

oHello all: I'm kind of at a loss here. It looks like ther'es an issue with boost::bind somewhere in the mess of 500 templates and 90 screens of errors and I don't know enough about the mess to untangle it. Any info would be awesome. First, the code: sgroup->AddEntry(new OlcStringEntry("name", "Sets the name of the object", OF_NORMAL, boost::bind(&StaticObject::GetName, _1), <159> boost::bind(&StaticObject::SetName, _1, _2))); the 159 I denoted is useful in the errors later. Now the rest of the code I'm using: typedef boost::function<std::string ()> StringGetter; typedef boost::function<void (const std::string&)> StringSetter; class IOlcEntry { protected: std::string _name; std::string _help; FLAG _flag; public: IOlcEntry(const std::string &name, const std::string &help, FLAG flag) { _flag = flag; _name = name; _help = help; } ~IOlcEntry() {} }; class OlcStringEntry:public IOlcEntry { protected: StringGetter _getter; StringSetter _setter; public: OlcStringEntry(const std::string &name, const std::string &help, FLAG flag, const StringGetter getter, const StringSetter setter) :IOlcEntry(name, help, flag) { _setter = setter; _getter = getter; } }; and here is the novel of errors: 02:45:56: Compiling staticObject.cpp. In file included from /usr/local/include/boost/bind.hpp:22:0, from staticObject.cpp:2: /usr/local/include/boost/bind/bind.hpp: In instantiation of ‘R boost::_bi::list1<A1>::operator()(boost::_bi::type<R>, F&, A&, long int) [with R = std::basic_string<char>;

[serialization] counting the xml cost
by Michael Powell 20 Apr '13

20 Apr '13

Hello, Basically, I'd like to find out how well the boost serialization facilities handle Xml and to what degree, robustness, etc. I am counting the cost of serialization for our model. We'll need do some basic CRUD type operations on our model objects throughout our system, and I want to use a nicely loosely coupled solution. Xml is the thought at first; I've also considered a lightweight database like SQLite which transfers easily for patches, upgrades, and other transfers. Looking at the boost serialization facilities, one keyword was emphasized in the tech-agnostic serialization documentation. Tech meaning whether this is a binary file, text, JSON, Xml, whatever. The keyword being that serialization and load occur in the same order. Enter the desire for Xml. One common problem in .NET C# land, at any rate, is that reads are commonly known as being asymmetric from writes. That is, not guaranteed to happen in the same order, composition, whatever. That is, you may see attributes in one instance, where as in another the element might have been broken out. Such as: <myObject name="something" /> and <myObject><name>something</name></myObject> are technically the same. The serializer might scoff at that, but I'm not sure the W3C suggest otherwise. That's my loose understanding of the specification. Regards, Michael Powell

Linker (/IDE) errors working with filesystem
by Michael Powell 20 Apr '13

20 Apr '13

Hello, I'm a novice (perhaps dangerously intermediate) boost user and have what I think is a linker error folding in filesystem, which would be a great thing to use for, well, file-system-y concerns in our software. However, am running into some strange conflicts between std::string and boost::filesystem. I can either use one or the other, but not both, without (what are possibly) "false positives" in the CodeBench IDE. We are targeting ArchLinux running on ARM cross compiled. As far as I know, I accepted the defaults building boost, excepting for python, etc. Linking against boost statically. I also ran across this article and wonder how I can ensure that we're linking in a correct order: http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/faq/liborder.html, if that's a plausible culprit / solution. I seem to recall there being auto-link support, but I'm not sure this will work in a toolchain like GCC (4.7.2). I want to say that possibly there is an IDE confusion using boost::filesystem with std::string, but is a tool chain issue not a boost issue. Regards, Michael Powell
