Boost.config not recognize threading support enabled?
by BRIDGES Dick 18 Jun '05

18 Jun '05

[Please ignore exemplar in previous missive. I can't seem to cancel it.] Apologies in advance if this belongs on the boost-users(a)lists.boost.org list. After my posting vast quantities of [probably worthless] example output on jamboost(a)yahoogroups.com, Vladimir Prus provided [I added the -Is] this example and suggested I post it here where the Boost.config maintainers might be able to help. OS is Fedora3 on x86. We have empirically confirmed the cross-compiler being used supports pthreads. ALL the rest of the boost libs compiled successfully (with only the occasional warning). I'm only 13 targets from home. <exemplar apologies=worthless-line-wrapping> Program file test.cpp contains only the following line: #include <boost/thread/condition.hpp> [root@mycomputer boost_1_32_0]# "/opt/crosstool/arm-softfloat-linux-gnu/gcc-3.3.3-glibc-2.3.2/bin/arm-so ftfloat-linux-gnu-c++" \ -I/usr/local/boost_1_32_0 \ -I/opt/crosstool/arm-softfloat-linux-gnu/gcc-3.3.3-glibc-2.3.2/include/c ++/3.3.3/ \ -I/opt/crosstool/arm-softfloat-linux-gnu/gcc-3.3.3-glibc-2.3.2/include/c ++/3.3.3/arm-softfloat-linux-gnu/bits/ \ -pthread test.cpp In file included from /usr/local/boost_1_32_0/boost/thread/detail/config.hpp:18, from /usr/local/boost_1_32_0/boost/thread/condition.hpp:15, from test.cpp:1: /usr/local/boost_1_32_0/boost/config/requires_threads.hpp:47:5: #error "Compiler threading support is not turned on. Please set the correct command line options for threading: -pthread (Linux), -pthreads (Solaris) or -mthreads (Mingw32)" [root@mycomputer boost_1_32_0]# </exemplar> I tried working my way through the config headers and got TOTALLY lost. I tried -H, -E and #warning before I gave up and submitted this missive. Even if you can provide the answer "off the top of your head", would you mind providing a pointer or two toward the correct path to finding the problem? I'd appreciate that at least as much as the solution itself. Sincere thanks in advance, Dick Bridges "For every complex problem, there is a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong." H.L. Mencken

Any interest is small type_traits addition?
by Jeffrey Williams 18 Jun '05

18 Jun '05

Today I had the need to use function_traits on a __stdcall function. It did not work, so I wrote a quick template called remove_stdcall which removes the __stdcall qualifier from a function (if it has one) which then allows you to pass it onto the function_traits. If there is any interest in adding it to type traits I'll post my code. (only about 100 lines and most is cut n paste for arity support). Jeff

[Feature] Boost.Type_Traits support for member functions
by Falcon 17 Jun '05

17 Jun '05

I'd like to recommend the addition of code for handling of pointers to member functions to Boost.Type_Traits. This is a simple modification, but I am unaware of the ramifications on other compilers (Perhaps someone else could shed some light on this?) Since this is my first post here, please inform me if I did anything wrong. :) Peregrine Falcon //// Original Code: #ifndef BOOST_NO_TEMPLATE_PARTIAL_SPECIALIZATION /*...*/ template<typename R> struct function_traits_helper<R (*)(void)> { BOOST_STATIC_CONSTANT(int, arity = 0); typedef R result_type; }; /* etc. */ #else /*...*/ template<typename R> type_of_size<1> function_arity_helper(R (*f)()); /* etc. */ #endif //// New code: #ifndef BOOST_NO_TEMPLATE_PARTIAL_SPECIALIZATION /*...*/ template<typename R, typename C> struct function_traits_helper<R (C::*)(void)> { BOOST_STATIC_CONSTANT(int, arity = 0); typedef R result_type; typedef C class_type; }; /* etc. */ #else /*...*/ template<typename R, typename C> type_of_size<1> function_arity_helper(R (C::*f)()); /* etc. */ #endif

[preprocessor][vacpp] BOOST_PP_SEQ_FOR_EACH failing
by JOAQUIN LOPEZ MU?Z 17 Jun '05

17 Jun '05

The attached sample fails in IBM VisualAge C++ V6.0 for AIX with the following message: vacpp.compile.c++ bin/vacpp/debug/seq.o "seq.cpp", line 10.14: 1540-0861 (S) Too few arguments are specified for macro "BOOST_PP_IIF_0". Empty arguments are used. "/home/tk/ext_projects/boost_life/boost/boost/preprocessor/control/iif.h pp", line 31.10: 1540-0425 (I) "BOOST_PP_IIF_0" is defined on line 31 of "seq.cpp".

For motivation, this problem is currently breaking a good portion of Boost.Test in vacpp, and transitively lots of test cases in other libraries.

[Boost-bugs] [ boost-Bugs-1222776 ] TOP environment variable crashes installation via bjam

Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Christopher Dunn (cxdunn) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: TOP environment variable crashes installation via bjam Initial Comment: Immediate segmentation fault running bjam! I found the cause: I had TOP=all set as an environment variable. (This tells the UNIX utility 'top' my default settings.) That causes bjam to crash, which prevents installation of boost. I don't mind that bjam uses "TOP", but it shouldn't seg fault. This was not easy to track down. (I compared my environment with that of a friend who could compile boost, and changed everything one at a time. It took hours.) Probably, if somebody else has this problem, he'll never even figure out the cause. So this really needs to be changed.

Re: [boost] Header error using boost.regex 1.32 built using vc6

Sigh. Yes :-( (BTW, our legacy tools still use VC5. VC6 didn't seem to offer much advantage at the time, and although VC7.1 is now standard compliant, there are too many other breaking changes in the extensions to be able to switch.) -- Martin Bonner Martin.Bonner(a)Pitechnology.com Pi Technology, Milton Hall, Ely Road, Milton, Cambridge, CB4 6WZ, ENGLAND Tel: +44 (0)1223 441434
