Association Library?
by rzako23 07 May '02

07 May '02

Are there any generic components in Boost (or elsewhere) for *directly* representing associations between classes? Generalization, composition, aggregation and association are major ideas in the object model. Generalization can be implemented fairly directly in C++ using inheritance. Composition and aggregation can be represented directly in C++ using data members (when the number of parts in each whole is small and fixed), or using STL containers (when the number of parts in each whole is large or variable). But Standard C++ (including the STL) provides no *direct* support for representing associations, i.e., collections of links between objects in two or more classes. (David Papurt makes this point in "Inside the Object Model: The Sensible Use of C++.") For example, the STL does not offer a way to *directly* represent the 1-to-many "Supervises" association from the Manager class to the Employee class. One would like to have links in both directions: forward links forthe employees a manager supervises and a back link to the manager each employee is supervised by. Of course, one could code this all "by hand" using a container of pointers to employees for each manager and a back pointer for each employee. But the implementation details really have little to do with managers and employees and would be pretty much the same for parents and children or teachers and students. Moreover, while not difficult, managing the forward and back links correctly (and in an exception-safe manner) is tedious. It would be nice to have templates that can be instantiated to implement specific associations. In brief, STL containers directly support composition and aggregation but not association. I am new to the Boost library, but was not able to find this capability in Boost. If an association library is available in Boost (or elsewhere), I would be happy to know so. If not, is an association library something that would be worth looking into? Thanks, Rob Zako

Detect derivation from e.g. addable
by whastingsnj 10 Apr '02

10 Apr '02

Is there a way to detect that a class has been derived from boost::addable<T>, for example? I would like to be able to write something like this: template <typename T> void foo() { //if T derived from boost::addable<T,...> // . . . } The problem, of course, is the base class chaining feature. I do not see how to use boost::is_base_and_derived in this case.

How to build boost to get proper boost::regex configuration?
by rnicz 01 Apr '02

01 Apr '02

I've build boost on Windows NT4.0 with following settings: JAM_TOOLSET=VISUALC TOOLS=msvc and until now everything works fine. But when I tried to use boost::regex library I found that I got wrong libraries: I got libboost_regex.lib in four directories: 1) libs\regex\build\bin\libboost_regex.dll\msvc\debug 2) libs\regex\build\bin\libboost_regex.dll\msvc\release 3) libs\regex\build\bin\libboost_regex.lib\msvc\debug\runtime-link- dynamic 4) libs\regex\build\bin\libboost_regex.lib\msvc\debug\runtime-link- dynamic but now when I try to use boost::regex library file regex_library_include.hpp forecs linking against library with name like vc6-re300l.lib. Is there a way to get proper libraries when boost is built or to force compiler to use libboost_regex.lib during linking? Thank you in advance. Best regards Ryszard Niewisiewicz

Unable to compile boost_1_27_0 with Visual C++ .net - MORE...
by deep_thought_or_not 31 Mar '02

31 Mar '02

BTW I also had to update the Jamrules for msvc, such that I had to change the prog names "cl", "link" to "cl.exe" and "link.exe" respectively. For some reason, I have to specify the extension to run a program. Does not work without it. I am NOT doing this through a cygwin shell.

boost 1.27.0, type_traits, and CVS
by David B. Held 27 Mar '02

27 Mar '02

I just downloaded the latest version on the web site. I've never really used CVS before, but I tried to grab what appeared to be all the relevant files for type_traits. Now, when I try to use boost::function, I get all this: /usr/local/include/boost/function/function_base.hpp:151: parse error before `>' token /usr/local/include/boost/function/function_base.hpp:153: template argument 1 is invalid /usr/local/include/boost/function/function_base.hpp:153: `type' is not a class or namespace /usr/local/include/boost/function/function_base.hpp:153: ISO C++ forbids declaration of `type' with no type Which points to a line that contains is_stateless<>, which I assume is part of type_traits. So, could someone, in simple terms that a 5-year-old could understand, tell me how to get the latest version of type_traits from CVS? Do I actually need to download CVS software, or can I do it all through the web interface? Thanks. Dave [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

location of jam executable
by obhiee 27 Mar '02

27 Mar '02

hi, i d/l'ed the 1_27_0 and have successfully built the jam executable. i went through the documentation for build but am still unclear as to the location from where jam should be run. do i just copy jam into the top level directory where the files were extracted to and run it from there after setting BOOST_ROOT? some posts in this list conveyed the impression that it should be run from within the source library for each library. i find that confusing. isn't it the intent(?) of jam to be able to build the code wherever it may be located provided that the appropriate entry has been made into BOOST_BUILD_PATH/BOOST_ROOT? i apologize since this post is probably somewhat off-topic. sincerely, abhishek.

Iterator Adaptor?
by David Brownell 27 Mar '02

27 Mar '02

I have a hunch that this has been asked before, but I can't seem to find the answer. I have a struct similar to: struct MyStruct { int i; char c; }; And a functor similar to: struct MyFunctor { void operator()(int i) { //Do something with i } }; Given a container of MyStruct objects, how can I use iterator_adaptor to use MyStruct::i with MyFunctor? Something like: std::vector<MyStruct> v; std::for_each(v.begin(), v.end(), MyFunctor()); I have overridden the dereference method in default_iterator_policies to return the integer, but am at a bit of a loss where to go from here. Am I on the right track? TIA for your help! David Brownell

AmigaOS port of Boost 1.27.0

25 Mar '02

I've started porting Boost 1.27.0 to AmigaOS for use in a project of mine and I have a few additions and diffs to contribute. I've created a platform file so other AmigaOS users can at least start using the Boost out of the box. 1) boost/config/platform/amigaos.h // (C) Copyright Boost.org 2001.

My only concern is the one I mentioned above. [CRLF line endings] The CVS command-line client automatically puts the appropriate line ending for your platform. This should solve your CRLF/LF problem. -- Jim

boost.bind usage
by markus_schoepflin 25 Mar '02

25 Mar '02

Is it just me or is it my compiler (MSVC6SP5)? The following code gives me an error. Whats wrong? #include <boost/bind.hpp> #include <functional> using boost::bind; void main() { bind(std::greater<int>, _1, _2)(1, 2); } main.cpp(8) : error C2275: 'std::greater<int>' : illegal use of this type as an expression TIA, Markus

BOOST_NO_SWPRINTF defined for VC++ 6.0
by Edward Diener 23 Mar '02

23 Mar '02

Why is BOOST_NO_SWPRINTF defined for VC++ 6.0 in the config\compiler\visualc.hpp ? There most certainly is a swprintf in the header files. Is there something wrong with it in VC6 ? If I can't use it in some Boost code which I am modifying slightly for my own purpose, is there something else I can use ?

Why does lexical_cast make a copy?
by Daniel T. 23 Mar '02

23 Mar '02

I noticed that the function declaration of lexical_cast is: template<typename Target, typename Source> Target lexical_cast(Source arg) Namely that arg is a copy of the original source. Is there a specific reason that a copy is made? Why isn't it a 'const Source&' instead? --

Missing timestamp.c in jam_src
by rwhadsell 22 Mar '02

22 Mar '02

I just downloaded Boost 1.27.0 and tried to build jam for my Tru64 Unix system. The make failed, because there is no timestamp.c in the tools/build/jam_src directory.
