[bind] bind_visit_test failure on GCC 4.1.0 and HP/CXX
by Markus Schöpflin 28 Apr '06

28 Apr '06

The test fails with the following message: bind_visit_test.cpp(61): test 'vis.hash == 34' failed in function 'int main()' It has been failing on HP/CXX only for quite some time, but now I noted it also fails on GCC 4.1.0 Linux and Tru64. Is this an issue with the test? Markus

[mpl] error compiling with evc4
by Michael Fink 28 Apr '06

28 Apr '06

Hello, while porting Boost to evc4 I encountered the following error in boost\mpl\aux_\preprocessed\msvc60\and.hpp (and the same in or.hpp). Note that evc4 is very similar to msvc6, so it uses most of the defines set for this compiler. The error messages are: {path}\boost\mpl\aux_\preprocessed\msvc60\and.hpp(42) : error C2908: explicit specialization; 'and_impl<1>' has already been instantiated from the primary template {path}\boost\mpl\aux_\preprocessed\msvc60\and.hpp(42) : error C2039: 'result_' : is not a member of '`global namespace'' {path}\boost\mpl\aux_\preprocessed\msvc60\and.hpp(42) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '<' {path}\boost\mpl\aux_\preprocessed\msvc60\and.hpp(42) : error C2059: syntax error : '<' {path}\boost\mpl\aux_\preprocessed\msvc60\and.hpp(44) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '{' {path}\boost\mpl\aux_\preprocessed\msvc60\and.hpp(44) : error C2447: missing function header (old-style formal list?) [...] The code in and.hpp looks as follows: namespace boost { namespace mpl { namespace aux { template< bool C_ > struct and_impl { template< typename T1, typename T2, typename T3, typename T4 > struct result_ : false_ { }; }; template<> struct and_impl<true> { template< typename T1, typename T2, typename T3, typename T4 > struct result_ : and_impl< BOOST_MPL_AUX_NESTED_TYPE_WKND(T1)::value >::template result_< T2,T3,T4,true_ > { }; }; template<> struct and_impl<true> ::result_< true_,true_,true_,true_ > : true_ { }; } // namespace aux [...] The compiler doesn't recognize the out-of-class template instanciation. I can comment out the last struct definition, but then the compiler gives errors in other places where the template is used. How can I solve that with the evc4 compiler? Thanks, Michael

rational.hpp requires working unary minus
by Yuriy Koblents-Mishke 28 Apr '06

28 Apr '06

Test Code: std::numeric_limits<long> lm; boost::rational<long> mn( lm.min() ); std::cout << mn << '=' << mn / 1 << std::endl; Output: -2147483648/1=1/0 Reason: lm.min() == -2147483648 lm.max() == 2147483647 and unary minus is not well defined for lm.min(); on my system -lm.min() == -2147483648 The problem is expected with any computer representing negative integers using binary two's compliment.

evc4 port of Boost
by Michael Fink 28 Apr '06

28 Apr '06

Hello, I'm currently trying to port Boost for the Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 (evc4) compiler that targets PocketPC 2003 and other devices based on Windows CE 4.2. The compiler's frontend (parser, etc.) is based on Visual C++ 6.0, with little to no changes. As Boost (at present) supports this compiler, porting should be rather easy (or so I thought). For Standard C++ library support I use STLport 5, since evc4 doesn't have a working one. Before putting more work into porting, I have some questions: Is it desirable to port Boost for this platform? I read that at some version support for vc6 will be dropped. If possible, I would like to have at least some version of Boost that works with evc4. Where can I get help with more complex error messages that appear during porting? What I've done so far: I created a custom evc4-stlport-tools.jam file in boost\tools\build\v1 so that I can build different libraries. It's more of a hack-together than a cleanly integrated build file. I changed some Boost.Config files to support evc4 compiler. I fixed all issues for evc4 in libs\thread\src\* so that the Boost.Thread library compiles without warnings and errors. thanks, Michael

Help! Which compilers use _RWSTD_VER and __SGI_STL_PORT?
by Nicola Musatti 27 Apr '06

27 Apr '06

Hallo, I think I found a workaround for the pool problem with BCB2006, which broke several serialization tests. However in order to be sure not to break other compilers I need to know if the macros above, _RWSTD_VER and __SGI_STL_PORT, are Borland specific or no. Any idea? Thanks, Nicola Musatti

This functionality is available in most compilers even when RTTI is off, with g++ being the notable exception. In the spirit of being a notable exception, g++ also doesn't provide a predefined macro when -fno-rtti is used (or not used.) I can add BOOST_SP_DISABLE_GET_DELETER if this would help. If the review manager agrees that not having this macro is a bug in 1.33, it can even go into 1.34.

Would there be a bounds type for specifying runtime bounds? It seems the upper bound if specified, can only be specified at compile time and this would limit the size of your arrays... Or is this by design? Thanks!
