This is because commenting out 'posix_time.hpp' eliminates the I/O code from the library.

I'm starting to think this may be related to the 1_30_0 lexical cast problem. Can you upgrade lexical_cast.hpp from cvs? You can download it from here: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi- bin/viewcvs.cgi/boost/boost/boost/lexical_cast.hpp Jeff

Need help with BOOST unit test framework!
by rudugani 25 Jul '03

25 Jul '03

hi, Essentially what I'm trying to do(the code is attached below) , is pass a base class member pointer (member function should automatically be visible in the derived class) , to the BOOST framework. However, since the member function is statically not visible in the derived class, a compile time error is generated . I'm *thinking* that some kind of casting operation is required but not very sure how! could anybody enlighten me as to how to get the code snippet below running? Thanks! CODE: #include <iostream.h> /*-------------------- BOOST FRAMEWORK --------------------- */ #include <test/included/unit_test_framework.hpp> using boost::unit_test_framework::test_suite; class baseTrailTest{ public: baseTrailTest(){}; ~baseTrailTest(){}; protected : void trail(){ cout << " trail!!!! " << endl; } }; class TrailTest: public baseTrailTest{ }; struct trail_test_suite : public test_suite { trail_test_suite() : test_suite("trail_test_suite") { // add member function test cases to a test suite boost::shared_ptr<TrailTest> instance(new TrailTest); add( BOOST_CLASS_TEST_CASE( &TrailTest::trail ,instance ), 0 ); } }; test_suite* init_unit_test_suite( int argc, char * argv[] ) { std::auto_ptr<test_suite> test( BOOST_TEST_SUITE( "example" ) ); /*if( argc < 2 ) return (test_suite*)0;*/ test->add( new trail_test_suite); return test.release(); }

using the signals lib
by Roel Vanhout 25 Jul '03

Hello all, I'm sorry if this is a faq (it almost has to be) but I couldn't find anything in the signals documentation nor in the general build instruction. I've build the signals library using jam as described in the build instructions, I've added the resulting library to my linker list but then I get the errors below about several symbols being multiply defined. I'm using MSVC 7.0 (Visual Studio .Net, not .Net 2003). What do I do wrong?

<previous> > I must be missing one or more headers but I can't figure it out. Can > someone help get me pointed in the right direction? > ...lots of compiler stuff omitted... My guess is that you don't have the boost root directory in your include path options. This would be the boost\boost_1_30_0 directory.... HTH, Jeff </previous> I'm pretty sure the headers are being found. If I replace posix_time.hpp with posix_time_types.hpp, the error and many of the warnings disappear. In other words... #include <boost/date_time/gregorian/gregorian.hpp> //#include <boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time.hpp> #include <boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time_types.hpp> avoids the error message. Changing it back to: #include <boost/date_time/gregorian/gregorian.hpp> #include <boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time.hpp> //#include <boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time_types.hpp> results in... <error> c:\boost\boost_1_30_0\boost\lexical_cast.hpp(147) : error C2679: binary ' <<' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'const boost::token_iterator_generator<TokenizerFunc,Iterator,Type>::value_type' (or there is no acceptable conversion) with [ TokenizerFunc=boost::char_delimiters_separator<char>, Iterator=std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char>>::const_iterator, Type=std::string ] c:\boost\boost_1_30_0\boost\lexical_cast.hpp(146) : while compiling class-template member function 'bool boost::detail::lexical_stream<Target,Source>::operator <<(const Source &)' with [ Target=unsigned short, Source=boost::token_iterator_generator<boost::char_delimiters_separator<char>,std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char>>::const_iterator,std::string>::value_type ] c:\boost\boost_1_30_0\boost\lexical_cast.hpp(189) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::detail::lexical_stream<Target,Source>' being compiled with [ Target=unsigned short, Source=boost::token_iterator_generator<boost::char_delimiters_separator<char>,std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char>>::const_iterator,std::string>::value_type ] c:\boost\boost_1_30_0\boost\date_time\time_parsing.hpp(30) : see reference to function template instantiation 'Target boost::lexical_cast<unsigned short,boost::token_iterator_generator<TokenizerFunc,Iterator,Type>::value_type>(Source)' being compiled with [ Target=unsigned short, TokenizerFunc=boost::char_delimiters_separator<char>, Iterator=std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char>>::const_iterator, Type=std::string, Source=boost::token_iterator_generator<boost::char_delimiters_separator<char>,std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char>>::const_iterator,std::string>::value_type ] c: \boost\boost_1_30_0\boost\date_time\posix_time\time_parsers.hpp(18) : see reference to function template instantiation 'time_duration boost::date_time::parse_delimited_time_duration<boost::posix_time::time_duration>(const std::string &)' being compiled with [ time_duration=boost::posix_time::time_duration ] </error> ...which refers to lexical_cast.hpp template<typename Target, typename Source> class lexical_stream { bool operator<<(const Source &input) { here ===> return stream << input; <==== here } } So I assume there's a header somewhere that defines the '<<' operator referred to. I don't know if this is related to my use of VC7.1 or not. I'm trying to find someone around here with VC7 to build boost_1_30_0 and see if that makes a difference. No luck so far.

[uBLAS] Constructing from std::vector
by Alex Henderson 24 Jul '03

24 Jul '03

Hi, I'm starting to play with the uBLAS library. So far so good... I'd like to be able to construct a ublas::vector from a std::vector. I can't seem to find how to do this. Do I have to go through std::copy or something equivalent or is there a constructor I've missed? If it doesn't exist, is there a reason why not? Perhaps there are some holes in my understanding. Thanks, Alex

Binary compatibility of boost dll files
by Rodolfo Lima 24 Jul '03

24 Jul '03

I see that several boost libraries can be compiled as dll files. I'd like to know if there's any concern about binary compatilibity between different versions of those dll's as boost's version number (and possibly the library itself) changes. For instance, whenever MFC's dll binary interface changes, we have another library version written in it's name (MFC42.dll, MFC70.dll, MFC71.dll...), this way we can help avoiding "dll hell". It would be also cool to link a version resource in each dll. This way, installers would check if a newer dll exists in the system, avoiding overwriting with an older one. And one last thing... the import library of date_time's dll isn't being generated, making it unusable. It's better to delete the dll target of its jamfile. If any help of my part is needed, I'd be glad to help. regards, rod

Couple of thoughts here: 1) Look for the static lib instead. This is the one I'm sure works. And anyway, there is hardly anything in the library anyway so there really isn't an much advantage to a dll. 2) Try doing the library build again, but at the date-time level only. Change down to libs/date_time/build and run bjam. This might give you some hints about what actually built. Jeff
