[filesystem]1.32/vc7.1: unresolved reference when building a user dll
by Francis ANDRE 09 Nov '04

09 Nov '04

Hi Developpers When using the dll version of the boost::filesystem library to build a user's dll library, one get the followin link error: (Note that no error is produced at link time when building a static non dll user's library with the boost::filesystem dll library) SYSOUT.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "private: void __thiscall boost::filesystem::path::iterator::increment(void)" (?increment@iterator@path@filesystem@boost@@AAEXXZ) referenced in function "public: static void __cdecl boost::iterator_core_access::increment<class boost::filesystem::path::iterator>(class boost::filesystem::path::iterator &)" (??$increment@Viterator@path@filesystem@boost@@@iterator_core_access@boost@@ SAXAAViterator@path@filesystem@1@@Z) Any idea how to solve this unresolved reference?? The code involved in this build is: class __declspec(dllexport) SYSOUT : public OSDDIR { void makedir(const DATASET::VOLUME& volume, const std::string& file); }; void SYSOUT::makedir(const VOLUME& volume, const std::string& file) { path rel(file); path vol(volume); for (path::iterator i = rel.begin(); i != rel.end(); i++) { path dir = vol / *i; if (!boost::filesystem::exists(dir)) { create_directory(dir); } vol = vol / *i; } } Regards Francis ANDRE

Problem to use boost
by Daniel Lidström 09 Nov '04

09 Nov '04

Hi, this is what I've done: compiled with commandline of bjam "-sVC71_ROOT=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7" "--prefix=C:\projects\boost" install Within my project, I've set an additional include path of C:\projects\boost\include\boost-1_31. Now when I compile my project with one source file containing the line #include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp> I get this error: c:\projects\boost\include\boost-1_31\boost\config\compiler\borland.hpp(1 3) : fatal error C1017: invalid integer constant expression What have I missed? -- Daniel

Are you really compiling with VC7.1, perhaps another MSVC version or are you using the borland compiler? I admit C1017 sounds like MSVC.

Using http://dictionary.reference.com/translate/text.html produces "radius vector". Regards, Reece _________________________________________________________________ Want to block unwanted pop-ups?

library-based property implementation
by Reece Dunn 08 Nov '04

08 Nov '04

Hi All, I have been working on an implementation of a library that allows you to define properties, based on the wg21 N1615 paper by Lois Goldthwaite. The code is committed to the sandbox (under the property directory) with tests and preliminary documentation. I have seperated the properties into two. The boilerplate code for operator overloads, organised by rank, where rank is the number of indices (the term is borrowed from Tensor algebra) provides one group. The other group is the property storage that implements the get and set functions that the boilerplate classes use to implement the operator overloads. : Scalar Properties A scalar property is a single-element property. You can have simple properties that either store their values internally or reference an external data member: class object { int val; public: scalar_property< aliased_property< int > > Val; object(): Val( val ){} }; int main() { scalar_property< value_property< int > > ival( 0 ); ival = 7; ival += 3; int j; scalar_property< aliased_property< int > > jval( j ); jval = 2; assert( j == 2 ); } You can also define more complex properties that use class methods to control them: class object { int val; public: int get_Val() const{ return val; } void set_Val( const int & v ){ val = v; } scalar_property< object_property < int, object, &object::get_Val, &object::set_Val > > Val; object(): Val( this ){} }; : Rank 1 Properties A rank 1 property is a 1-dimensional property. For example: class result_set { public: // property record index[]; record get_record( int i ) const; void set_record( int i, record r ); boost::rank1_property< boost::rank1_object_property < record, int, result_set, &result_set::get_record, &result_set::set_record > > record; public: result_set(): record( this ) { } }; Regards, Reece

[1.32] [function] documentation missing
by Caleb Epstein 08 Nov '04

08 Nov '04

In the release candidate tarballs, the documentation for the "function" library is redirecting to http://www.boost.org/regression-logs/cs-win32_metacomm/doc/html/function.ht… It looks like the Boost.Book documentation isn't being generated for this library. Is this expected? -- Caleb Epstein caleb.epstein(a)gmail.com

That's a convincing point. I'm glad it's a convincing point, because I like C++ :) Only, sometimes I wonder whether we're all so obsessed with the language that we can't stand back and realise that some other language is appropriate for a given task. Makes me think: if there was some language that easily spanned the range from static to dynamic code, then everyone could learn that and that only. Never mind... > Because what we are talking about is a library, rather than something in > the core language, non-users of the library don't pay for something they > don't use.

Personally, I quite like the thinking behind Win32GUI, and I've been wondering about the viability of porting it to run on top of Carbon on OSX. I just needed a bit of persuasion that it's worth pursuing at all. I'm not sure how far the event handling systems can be aligned, but I'm certainly going to look into it. If it works, it'll need a different name :) George

const_string + recursive_variant = boom
by Caleb Epstein 08 Nov '04

08 Nov '04

I've been trying to build a generic "message" type class using boost.variant and have just run across a problem when trying to convert it from using std::string to using the proposed boost::const_string. Attached is a small test case and the output from gcc 3.3.2 (the latter gzipped due to its hugeness). All is well if the mystring type is std::string. Any thoughts on how to fix this? -- Caleb Epstein caleb.epstein(a)gmail.com

[FSM] Patches for gcc-3.4.1

Hi ! The attached patch makes the FSM-examples (except PingPong) compile with gcc-3.4.1 These are mostly scoping issues. Tested against gcc-3.3.x. Any one interested in BB.V2 Jamfiles for FSM ?
