boost::dynamic_array
by Boris 04 Oct '05

04 Oct '05

I stumbled about boost::dynamic_bitset in the documentation which is a runtime sized version of std::bitset. Now I wonder why there is no boost::dynamic_array. We have boost::array but just like with std::bitset you need to know the size at compile time. Is there any interest in boost::dynamic_array (I mean is anyone else interested except me :-)? Boris

I am also interested in pursuing this type of GUI. This would meet my needs more completely than current widgetlike toolkits.

It would have to be '... -I%(boost_root)s' and similarly for other arguments, but otherwise that's an excellent idea! It eliminates the need for having two different 'preprocess' files. OK, the above is in the CVS now. Thank you! -- Aleksey Gurtovoy MetaCommunications Engineering

[typeof] More strange failures on como
by Arkadiy Vertleyb 04 Oct '05

04 Oct '05

A typeof test case defined as: [ run odr1.cpp odr2.cpp : : : <define>BOOST_TYPEOF_COMPLIANT : odr_emulation ] is failing in a way that looks like como didn't even start to compile odr1.cpp: http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/CVS-HEAD/developer/output/ Bronek-bin-boost-libs-typeof-test-odr_emulation-test-como-4_3_3-vc7_1-debug. html There is the compiler output for odr2.cpp only, and then linker output that claims there is no odr1.obj. GCC, VC7.1 appear to be fine with this test... Any insights on the cause of the problem? Thanks, Arkadiy

[multi_array] range-checked element access
by Adrian Sheppard 04 Oct '05

04 Oct '05

Is there a good reason why multi_array, and perhaps other boost containers with an unchecked operator [], don't provide a range-checked element access function, like std::vector::at()? Perhaps I'm missing something obvious?. regards adrian sheppard

Serialization
by Stefan 04 Oct '05

04 Oct '05

Hi folks, I just tested the boost serialization library. I have a question: I need to serialize my objects and then transfer them via tcp connection. Right now I write them into a file like in the examples and then open this file again read it with getc into an array, then send it. Is there an easier way without writing to a file, since this would be a problem with my performance. This is what I do right now: const GPSData g(10,10,10.0); std::ostream teststream; std::ofstream ofs("filename"); boost::archive::text_oarchive oa(teststream); oa << g; ofs.close(); char serializedobj[100], c; FILE * fp; fp=fopen("filename", "rw"); int cnt=0; while((c=getc(fp)) !=EOF) { serializedobj[cnt]=c; cnt++; } serializedobj[cnt]='\0'; tcpclient->send(serializedobj); Thanks in advance, Stefan ___________________________________________________________ Was denken Sie über E-Mail?

Given that a test case for the two-argument 'insert' form is present in both 'map' and 'set' tests (http://tinyurl.com/cuqjl) I suspect that you are doing something wrong. -- Aleksey Gurtovoy MetaCommunications Engineering

[mpl] bug in mpl::at?
by Geoffrey Romer 04 Oct '05

04 Oct '05

I asked this on boost-users with no luck, so I figured I'd kick it up to the experts: I'm trying to use the 3-argument version of the mpl::at metafunction, as described in the on-line manual, but I'm getting a compile error (using gcc 4.0.2): --- error: wrong number of template arguments (3, should be 2) /usr/include/boost/mpl/at_fwd.hpp:20: error: provided for 'template<class Sequence, class N> struct boost::mpl::at' --- Looking at at.hpp, at_fwd.hpp, and aux_/at_fwd.hpp, I don't see any sign of a 3-argument version of at; everything seems to be defined in terms of a 2-argument template. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?

[asio] init acceptor to reuse_address?
by BRIDGES Dick 03 Oct '05

03 Oct '05

I submitted this question to boost-users Friday but it occurred to me that it should have been posted here. Apologies if I've erred. <original> I created a server something like this: handle_accept(){ do_the_right_thing(); } Class Foo { socket_acceptor acceptor_; Public: Foo(demuxer& d) : acceptor_( d, ipv4::tcp::endpoint(2525)){} Example(demuxer& d) { stream_socket* p = new stream_socket(d); acceptor_.async_accept(p, handle_accept); } } Everything works fine except when I (1) connect a client; (2) ^C the server; (3) try to restart the server - which, as expected, yields "Address already in use". Mumbling something about defaulting modern socket libraries to SO_REUSEADDR, I started trying to figure out where to call set_option(stream_socket::reuse_address(true)) - and can't work it out. I've set_option() on sockets and the acceptor but can't make the acceptor reuse the address as long as the connection that was established is still in TIME_WAIT. Do you have an example that shows how this can be done? </original> Regards, Dick Bridges
