[serialization][portable_binary_archive] ld: duplicate symbol error
by Jeff Flinn 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

Using the latest portable_binary_archive from the vault with boost 1.34.1 on Mac XCode 3 I'm getting a linker duplicate symbol error: ld: duplicate symbol boost::archive::basic_binary_oarchive<portable_binary_oarchive> ::save_override(boost::archive::class_id_optional_type const&, int) in .../Persistence.build/Debug/CxxTest.build/Objects-normal/ppc/AAA.o and .../Persistence.build/Debug/CxxTest.build/Objects-normal/ppc/BBB.o Any help in resolving this issue would be appreciated. This succesfully compiles/links and runs when built on MSVC 8. Thanks, Jeff

BOOST documentation in PDF/PS format
by dhruva 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

Hello, I am looking for the BOOST library in either PDF/PS formats so that I can print the ones I need and read them offline (which I generally prefer). Reading though the boost documenting link, it appears quite a daunting task to setup boost doc build to generate PDF files (it has a bunch of dependencies). Is there any location from where I can download the PDF files for the current release version of BOOST or any plans for providing the same in the near future? with best regards, dhruva -- Contents reflect my personal views only!

result_of problem with VC8 (header depdendencies)
by Sean Huang 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

The following code generates a compile error with VC8+SP1: ************************************************************************** #include <boost/lambda/lambda.hpp> #if 1 // compiles when set to 0 # include <boost/utility/result_of.hpp> # include <boost/range/functions.hpp> #else # include <boost/range/functions.hpp> # include <boost/utility/result_of.hpp> #endif #include <boost/function.hpp> #include <boost/type_traits/is_same.hpp> typedef boost::function< int ( void ) > FuncType; BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT( ( boost::is_same< boost::result_of< FuncType () >::type, int >::value ) ); This compiles with intel C++ 9.1. Change the inclusion order of result_of and functions.hpp and it compiles with VC8 too. Looks like a bug in VC8. Does anybody know any workaround for this besides enforcing the header order? Regards, Sean

Select Implementation using Boost.Fusion
by Dean Michael Berris 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

Okay, as an exercise I implemented the select function object in terms of Boost.Fusion's at_c<> sequence accessor function. The implementation is attached -- which works with standard containers that contain either standard pairs, or fusion sequences. This implementation relies on Boost.Fusion's adapted pair implementation to turn ordinary std::pair<>'s contained in a standard container (map, vector of pairs, etc) into fusion sequences. This implementation is much shorter than the earlier versions I've posted before. Should this be part of Boost.Fusion, or if there's interest should this little utility undergo a review for inclusion in Boost? The synopsis for using this library is shown as an example below: #include <map> #include <iostream> #include <iterator> #include <string> #include <algorithm> #include <cstdlib> #include <boost/select.hpp> using namespace std; int foo(int i) { return i * 2; }; int main(int argc, char * argv[]) { map<int, string> sample; sample.insert(make_pair(1, "Hello, World!")); transform(sample.begin(), sample.end(), ostream_iterator<string>(std::cout), boost::select<1>); // print "Hello, World!" transform(sample.begin(), sample.end(), ostream_iterator<int>(std::cout), boost::select<0> | foo); // print 2 return EXIT_SUCCESS; }; -- Dean Michael C.

#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> using namespace boost::unit_test; void free_test_function() { BOOST_CHECK(2 == 1); } test_suite* init_unit_test_suite( int, char* [] ) { framework::master_test_suite().p_name.value = "Unit test example 02"; framework::master_test_suite().add( BOOST_TEST_CASE( &free_test_function ), 2 ); } Im trying to build above program, but facing linking errors. Linker can not find main When I add #define BOOST_TEST_MAIN 1 before including unit-test.cpp, it gives me compilation error "redefinition of init_unit_test_suite" When I define both BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK & BOOST_TEST_MAIN, then it build successfully but I get error "Test setup error: test tree is empty" Someone please help me solve it. :wq Pankaj

backwards compatibility
by Steve M. Robbins 03 Jun '08

Hello, I realize that Boost doesn't promise ABI compatibility across releases, nor even API compatibility according to the FAQ: How can the Boost libraries be used successfully for important projects? Many of the Boost libraries are actively maintained and improved, so **backward compatibility with prior version isn't always possible**. Deal with this by freezing the version of the Boost libraries used by your project. Only upgrade at points in your project's life cycle where a bit of change will not cause problems. Individual bug fixes can always be obtained from the boost repository. (emphasis mine) OK, but *in practice* is there a large amount of work adapting existing client code to a new release? I'm asking in order to gauge whether it is useful for a linux distribution (Debian) to keep multiple versions of Boost available simultaneously; e.g. 1.34.1 and 1.35. Currently Debian provides only the latest version of Boost. Thanks, -Steve

Happy hunting. I think the gcc headers must play a crucial role here. With Peter's ifdef, the spin_lock error goes away, but I'm getting other errors on the Fedora 9 machine, e.g.: % icpc -c -fPIC -DNDEBUG -O2 -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB -DBOOST_PYTHON_SOURCE -I/net/rosie/scratch1/rwgk/hot/boost -Ibase/include/python2.5 /net/rosie/scratch1/rwgk/hot/boost/libs/python/src/exec.cpp /usr/include/c++/4.3.0/x86_64-redhat-linux/bits/c++locale.h(94): error: argument of type "__va_list_tag *" is incompatible with parameter of type "char *" const int __ret = __builtin_vsnprintf(__out, __size, __fmt, __args); ^ compilation aborted for /net/rosie/scratch1/rwgk/hot/boost/libs/python/src/exec.cpp (code 2) This is just to prove that the Intel compiler brings in the gcc headers of the system compiler. What I really wanted is compare gcc 4.3 and Intel C++ OpenMP on the same machine, but I have to give up now since this is turning into a time-consuming project. :-( Ralf
