Functional Programming in C++ Interest
by Joel de Guzman 15 Jun '05

Hi, I got this email from Jim Grundy. I thought I'd like to share this with you as I am also interested in what others might say. Here's Jim's email: <quote> I'm interested in learning about applications of declarative programming paradigms - particularly, but not exclusively, the functional paradigm - within the C++ programming community. I'm interested in part because I'm a member of the program committee for the CUFP (Commercial Users of Functional Programming) 2005 workshop. You can learn more about the workshop here: http://www.galois.com/cufp/ The CUFP workshop is co-located with the ICFP conference, but differs in that it is less formal venue and in that it focuses on the pragmatics of applications of functional programming rather less than on theory and or the study of the paradigm and the languages that support it themselves. The workshop has a broad area of interest. Although the "C" stands for commercial, its the applications aspect that is important. Open source applications, commercial or otherwise, are also of interest. The PC members for CUFP are probably most strongly associated with strongly typed higher-order functional languages, like ML, OCaml and Haskell, but we are interested in applications of the functional paradigm in any language. In particular, projects that make use of the functional paradigm (or other declarative paradigms, say via the LC++ library) in C++ would be of interest to us. <<I do not know what LC++ is, perhaps Jim meant FC++?>> I've learned a little about a variety of libraries available for functional programming in C++, notably the Lambda and Phoenix libraries available in boost. I would like to learn more about what applications are out there that use these or similar libraries in order to leverage the functional paradigm. I'd also like to learn a little about the experience of the developers of those applications. Is functional programming generally useful within the context of C++ application development, or is it likely to be a niche technique? Are "regular" C++ programmers making use of the paradigm, or is this guru territory only? Is this paradigm actually used in end user applications directly, or is it to be found only inside other general purpose libraries like XR and Spirit (two of the the places where I have seen the paradigm applied in C++). Any thoughts appreciated. </quote> As a library writer, I guess Doug Gregor's comment a few years ago sums it all up: About functional libraries in C++: They're gaining acceptance, but are somewhat stunted by the ubiquitousness of broken compilers. The C++ community is moving deeper into the so-called "STL-style" programming paradigm, which brings many aspects of functional programming into the fold. Look at, for instance, the Spirit parser to see how such function objects can be used to build Yacc-like grammars with semantic actions that can build abstract syntax trees on the fly. This type of functional composition is gaining momentum (there are often questions about it on comp.lang.c++.moderated and comp.std.c++). Thoughts? Anyone?

Quite destructive Boost comments
by Tony Juricic 15 Jun '05

Reading the latest SR1 proposal to C++ standard, explained in recent article by some Google corporate entity, I could not but feel sad: Here we have corporate advertisers, pretending to be open source developers, defending half-assed, miniscule additions to C++ standards as a big improvenent. Shame to Google and Boost and C++ standards commitee. IMO, you deserve as much respect as Microsoft corporate develpoers. Tony

Does anyone have an opinion on this? Should there be a <boost/endian.hpp> that defines e.g. BOOST_{BIG,LITTLE,PDP?}_ENDIAN? There are two failing tests in Boost.Serialization that need to know if we are on a BOOST_BIG_ENDIAN platform. -- Caleb Epstein caleb dot epstein at gmail dot com

Who's Using Boost?
by John Maddock 15 Jun '05

15 Jun '05

There are now a set of prototype "Who's Using Boost?" pages available at: http://freespace.virgin.net/boost.regex/who/html/index.html Comments and suggests welcome, but in particular we need more case studies/products etc that are using Boost to be listed. If you have a product or project that could be listed then please see the submission guidelines at: http://freespace.virgin.net/boost.regex/who/html/who_s_using_boost_/submit.… Regards, John.

[thread] properly initialize read_write_mutex_impl data members

fstream_test.cpp won't compile using VC++ 6.0
by Jason Heyes 15 Jun '05

I receive errors when I try to compile fstream_test.cpp using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0. The first error I receive is this: fstream_test.cpp c:\boost\include\boost-1_32\boost\filesystem\fstream.hpp(29): error C2504: 'basic_filebuf<char,char_traits<char> >': base class undefined c:\projects\examples\fstream_test.cpp(27): see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::filesystem::basic_filebuf<char,char_traits<char> >' being compiled Is there a workaround for this?

Functional Programming in C++ Interest
by Joel de Guzman 15 Jun '05

15 Jun '05

Hi, I got this email from Jim Grundy. I thought I'd like to share this with you as I am also interested in what others might say. Here's Jim's email: <quote> I'm interested in learning about applications of declarative programming paradigms - particularly, but not exclusively, the functional paradigm - within the C++ programming community. I'm interested in part because I'm a member of the program committee for the CUFP (Commercial Users of Functional Programming) 2005 workshop. You can learn more about the workshop here: http://www.galois.com/cufp/ The CUFP workshop is co-located with the ICFP conference, but differs in that it is less formal venue and in that it focuses on the pragmatics of applications of functional programming rather less than on theory and or the study of the paradigm and the languages that support it themselves. The workshop has a broad area of interest. Although the "C" stands for commercial, its the applications aspect that is important. Open source applications, commercial or otherwise, are also of interest. The PC members for CUFP are probably most strongly associated with strongly typed higher-order functional languages, like ML, OCaml and Haskell, but we are interested in applications of the functional paradigm in any language. In particular, projects that make use of the functional paradigm (or other declarative paradigms, say via the LC++ library) in C++ would be of interest to us. <<I do not know what LC++ is, perhaps Jim meant FC++?>> I've learned a little about a variety of libraries available for functional programming in C++, notably the Lambda and Phoenix libraries available in boost. I would like to learn more about what applications are out there that use these or similar libraries in order to leverage the functional paradigm. I'd also like to learn a little about the experience of the developers of those applications. Is functional programming generally useful within the context of C++ application development, or is it likely to be a niche technique? Are "regular" C++ programmers making use of the paradigm, or is this guru territory only? Is this paradigm actually used in end user applications directly, or is it to be found only inside other general purpose libraries like XR and Spirit (two of the the places where I have seen the paradigm applied in C++). Any thoughts appreciated. </quote> As a library writer, I guess Doug Gregor's comment a few years ago sums it all up: About functional libraries in C++: They're gaining acceptance, but are somewhat stunted by the ubiquitousness of broken compilers. The C++ community is moving deeper into the so-called "STL-style" programming paradigm, which brings many aspects of functional programming into the fold. Look at, for instance, the Spirit parser to see how such function objects can be used to build Yacc-like grammars with semantic actions that can build abstract syntax trees on the fly. This type of functional composition is gaining momentum (there are often questions about it on comp.lang.c++.moderated and comp.std.c++). Thoughts? Anyone?

[test] Patch for Tru64/CXX
by Markus Schöpflin 15 Jun '05

15 Jun '05

Hello, attached patch solves a problem with the singleton implementation in the test library surfacing on Tru64/CXX. On this compiler, we need an explicit instantiation of the singleton template, otherwise multiple copies of the singleton are created. Ok to apply?
