[boost.filesystem3] ensuring a path has a \ or / on the end
by Sean Farrow 29 Dec '10

29 Dec '10

Hi: I'm writing some c++ code (using win32 api functions) and need to ensure that the boost::filesystem::path has a backslash on the end. For example the path: C:\test should beoutput as c:\test\ Does boost::filesystem have a method to ensure this is the case? Cheers Sean.

Boost.Python Compile Error(s) (GCC via MinGW-w64)
by Joshua Boyce 29 Dec '10

29 Dec '10

Hey all. I'm working on a project which currently only compiles under MSVC. I wish to port it to compile under GCC via MinGW-w64 also, however I've hit a brick-wall with a slew of compile errors I'm getting when using Boost.Python in my project. I'm not quite sure who's "fault" this problem is... Mine? Boost? GCC? libstdc++? MinGW-w64? Something else? I'm using TDM-GCC 4.5.1. http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/ Anyway, here is an example build output: http://raptorfactor.privatepaste.com/54e19acdc1 Ignore the errors in the 'MMHelper' project to do with exception routines, they are something else that I already know the cause and solution for. The problem I'm referring to is this one: gcc.compile.c++ Scripting\bin\gcc-mingw-4.5.1\debug\address-model-32\link-static\MemSandbox\Main.o In file included from c:\mingw64\bin\../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/4.5.1/include/c++/cmath:629:0, from c:\mingw64\bin\../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/4.5.1/include/c++/random:38, from c:\mingw64\bin\../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/4.5.1/include/c++/bits/stl_algo.h:66, from c:\mingw64\bin\../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/4.5.1/include/c++/algorithm:63, from E:\Code\Boost/boost/function/detail/prologue.hpp:13, from E:\Code\Boost/boost/function/function_template.hpp:13, from E:\Code\Boost/boost/function/detail/maybe_include.hpp:13, from E:\Code\Boost/boost/function/function0.hpp:11, from E:\Code\Boost/boost/python/errors.hpp:13, from E:\Code\Boost/boost/python/handle.hpp:11, from E:\Code\Boost/boost/python/args_fwd.hpp:10, from E:\Code\Boost/boost/python/args.hpp:10, from E:\Code\Boost/boost/python.hpp:11, from Scripting\MemSandbox\Main.cpp:38: c:\mingw64\bin\../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/4.5.1/include/c++/tr1_impl/cmath:203:11: error: '::hypot' has not been declared "g++" -ftemplate-depth-128 -O0 -fno-inline -w -g -m32 -std=c++0x -DBOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION=3 -DBOOST_PYTHON_STATIC_LIB -DBOOST_SYSTEM_STATIC_LINK=1 -DBOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB=1 -DDATE_TIME_INLINE -DUNICODE -D_UNICODE -Dnullptr=NULL -I"C:\Python27\Include" -I"E:\Code\Boost" -I"Common" -I"Dependencies" -I"Dependencies\BeaEngine" -I"Memory" -c -o "Scripting\bin\gcc-mingw-4.5.1\debug\address-model-32\link-static\MemSandbox\Main.o" "Scripting\MemSandbox\Main.cpp" ...failed gcc.compile.c++ Scripting\bin\gcc-mingw-4.5.1\debug\address-model-32\link-static\MemSandbox\Main.o... I'm at a loss as to how to fix this. I'm suspecting it's a MinGW problem, but I'm unable to find anybody else who has had or is having the same problem... I'm using Boost.Build as my build system. Relevant Jamfiles can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/hadesmem/source/browse/trunk/Jamroot http://code.google.com/p/hadesmem/source/browse/trunk/Common/Jamfile.v2 http://code.google.com/p/hadesmem/source/browse/trunk/Dependencies/Jamfile.… http://code.google.com/p/hadesmem/source/browse/trunk/HadesMem/Jamfile.v2 http://code.google.com/p/hadesmem/source/browse/trunk/Memory/Jamfile.v2 http://code.google.com/p/hadesmem/source/browse/trunk/Scripting/Jamfile.v2 Build command-line(s) here: http://code.google.com/p/hadesmem/source/browse/trunk/Build_Debug_AMD64_GCC… http://code.google.com/p/hadesmem/source/browse/trunk/Build_Debug_IA32_GCC.… http://code.google.com/p/hadesmem/source/browse/trunk/Build_Release_AMD64_G… http://code.google.com/p/hadesmem/source/browse/trunk/Build_Release_IA32_GC… If anyone could shed some light as to what's going wrong here and how I might fix it I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

@Klaim > I guess you mean the libraries that are not domain-specific but more like > language library extension? Yes Klaim, you are right. As I say (write) before, I'm not native English so sometime I cannot find right words to use. And what your opinion about this? Regards, Taworn T.

What I find amusing is that in order to get > shared_ptr<> you end up getting something like 3MB worth of source files. Yes, quite big. :) I remember someone say that because there are many header files need by shared_ptr but the size won't go up too high if you add something, say regex. My point is not about definition of "frequently used". It about boost is quite big (huh, the word "big" is also quite subjective to people opinions -_-), and is there a way to reduce distribution size. And separating package is one of the way I can think. Regards, Taworn T.

Hi, Say i have a boost::tuple / MPL Sequence, on which i have created a multi-index. Is it possible for me collect all the attribute numbers on which i have declared the IndexSpecifierList( the one passed as template parameter to boost::multi_index::indexed_by ) ? Thanks, Gokul.

And everyone works might be difference. I my opinion, smart_ptr, regex, tr1 are something that should exists in standard C++ library, like many modern languages today. But of course, if this concept is accepted by boost community. The decision about "frequently-used-libraries" must be decided by boost developer team. Regards, Taworn T.

Regards, Nate.
