Application: Eddynet Suite (ZAC, Electronic Resolution, EIMS-[BOP,SG,TSB], and more) Company: Zetec, Inc. Product Description: Eddynet is a complete suite of software for conducting an eddy current inspection of metal tubing, especially that in steam generators of nuclear power plants. We've been using Boost since 2001 in our C++ rewrite of our legacy systems. Boost libraries used: Smart Pointer - shared_ptr has made life good Utility - I love noncopyable Bind - The most fun way to confound my coworkers. Graph - This library and the makefile dependencies example was a godsend for creating a build & link management/subset creation/circular dependency check tool for our 110 cvs modules. Iterator Cast: lexical_cast and numeric_cast Function Regex Tuple - great for when you're too lazy to make a struct Lambda - so much fun! Ref Static Assert Type Traits Quaternion Any Format Tokenizer TriBool CRC Operators Product webpage: http://www.zetec.com/industries/energy/sg_software.asp (We're hiring, boost experience preferred :)

boost::filesystem - directory_iterator makes optimization hard
by Chris Frey 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

Hi, I recently had a need to do directory lookups in C++ and thought I'd take a look at boost::filesystem. I ran the sample_ls.cpp from the documentation, and it worked great. The problem is that directory_iterator appears to return a pointer to a path object. This path object is then passed to functions such as is_directory() to find the type. On systems that support type information in the directory entry itself, this structure limits what data can be returned in an iteration. I would suggest something like (roughly): class path; class dirent; class directory_iterator { // ... const dirent * operator-> () const; // ... }; class dirent { // some easy method to convert to path operator path (); // or perhaps a safer method would just be // to duplicate the path functions const std::string & leaf() const; // etc. // and then possible optimized versions bool is_directory() const; // ... }; The members of dirent would mirror the available functions that use the path object. If no optimization is possible, it just calls what the user would have had to call anyway. But if it is possible to optimize certain items (such as a struct dirent containing d_type), this would be used, possibly saving a call to stat(). Normally optimization should be left as implementation details... but in this case, I believe the class design limits what optimization is allowed. I would be pleased if I'm wrong on this. Thanks for reading this far. - Chris

[preprocessor] missing test case?
by JOAQUIN LOPEZ MU?Z 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

AFAICS the test boost/libs/preprocessor/test/seq.cpp is not included in the preprocessor test suite (in boost/status/Jamfile). Any reason for this omission? Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

NPC International is using boost
by Brock Peabody 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

With about 800 restaurants, NPC International is the world's largest Pizza Hut franchisee. Our company's web site is: www.npcinternational.com. We make extensive use of boost in our internally developed point of sale, restaurant management, communications, and accounting systems. We use the following libraries in approximate order of frequency of use: bind function optional shared_ptr date_time thread lambda type_traits mpl tuple enable_if variant spirit string_algo preprocessor filesystem operator iterators tokenizer Many, many thanks, Brock Peabody

Proposal for std::numeric_limits<T>::max_digits10;
by Paul A Bristow 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

I attach links to a proposal for very tiny addition to the numeric_limits. It provides an easy way for the novice to ensure that all potentially significant digits are output. For example, for float 6 decimal digits are guaranteed, but 9 may be significant. This is used in Boost test, and should be useful for lexical_cast, serialization etc. Comments, objections, better name suggestions, etc welcome.

I forgot though that the mail- client I am currently using always drops the attachment. Well anyway, the patch is straightforward. I will send it again on thursday when I have access again to my development machine. toon

Text_archives don't support integer types?
by Marcin Tustin 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

I'm using the CVS version of Boost from 2005-06-06, and it seems that text archives don't support anything except strings, characters, and the like, specifically not integer types like int. I've grepped the archive includes, and it seems that there are no save methods specified for the integer types (except char) by the text archives, and I get compiler errors like: c:\D2\API\NewClient\EnhancedMessageHandler.h(370) : error C2679: binary '<<' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'int' (or there is no acceptable conversion) (with VC7.1) It works when the RHS of << is a variable, but not when it is a function. I take it that this is because with variables, a string is automatically constructed to wrap the int types. This is very confusing, and might well be worth mentioning in the docs.

[autolink] conflicts with new toolset names
by Joaquín Mª López Muñoz 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

autolink assumes the following toolset tags for libraries generated under the MSVC familiy of compilers: 6.0, 6.5 --> "v6" 7.0 --> "vc7" 7.1 --> "vc71" 8.0 --> "vc80" Yet tools/build/v1/boost-base.jam does the following: local include-minor-version = YES ; switch $(toolset) { case borland* : toolset-tag += bcb ; case como* : toolset-tag += como ; case cwpro8* : toolset-tag += cw 8 ; case cwpro9* : toolset-tag += cw 9 ; case cw-* : toolset-tag += cw ; include-minor-version = ; case darwin* : toolset-tag += ; case edg* : toolset-tag += edg ; case gcc* : toolset-tag += gcc ; case intel-linux* : toolset-tag += il ; case intel-win32* : toolset-tag += iw ; case kcc* : toolset-tag += kcc ; case kylix* : toolset-tag += bck ; case metrowerks* : toolset-tag += cw ; case mingw* : toolset-tag += mgw ; case mipspro* : toolset-tag += mp ; case msvc* : toolset-tag += vc 6 ; case sunpro* : toolset-tag += sw ; case tru64cxx* : toolset-tag += tru ; case vacpp* : toolset-tag += xlc ; case vc[678][_]* : { toolset-tag += vc ; toolset-tag += [ MATCH "vc([678])[_]([0123456789]*)" : $(toolset) ] ; } case vc[678]* : { toolset-tag += vc ; toolset-tag += [ MATCH "vc([678])" : $(toolset) ] ; } case * : toolset-tag += [ MATCH "^([^-]*)" : $(toolset) ] ; } if $(include-minor-version) { toolset-tag += [ MATCH "[-]([0123456789]+)[_.]([0123456789]*)" : $(toolset) ] ; } else { toolset-tag += [ MATCH "[-]([0123456789]+)[_.][0123456789]*" : $(toolset) ] ; } which does not match autolink expectations for the following toolsets adhering to the new naming conventions: vc-6_5 --> vc65 (expected vc6) vc-7_0 --> vc70 (expected v7) I guess it suffices to apply the following postrule in boost-base.jam switch $(toolset-tag) { case vc6* : toolset-tag = vc6 ; case vc70 : toolset-tag = vc7 ; } but someone more acquainted with bjam than me might come up with a nicer reformulation. Currently, this is breaking dozens of tests in the metacomm engine, which recently switched to vc-6_5-stlport and vc-7_0 toolsets. Do I commit this? Someone can tackle the issue more elegantly? Thank you, Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

meta-double
by Peder Holt 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

Is there any interest in a compile-time meta-version of double? Syntax: //Definition typedef META_DOUBLE(3.1415926535897932384626433) pi; //Or META_DOUBLE(3.1415926535897932384626433) pi_; //Mathematical operations typedef math::meta::add<pi,pi>::type pi2; //Evaluation: assert(META_DOUBLE_EVAL(pi2)==3.1415926535897932384626433*2); This implementation uses two ints to represent the decimals, and a short to represent the exponent. It has been tested on VC7.1,VC8.0 beta and GCC3.2 Regards, Peder
