There's currently a very active debate going on with respect to the merits of two libraries which offer a more SQL-friendly interface to handle multi-index data structures (none of them is actually SQL compatible, though.) Google for RML site:boost.org to get some links to the discussion. RML site is http://visula.org/relational/ while RTL stuff can be found at http://boost-consulting.com/vault/index.php? &direction=0&order=&directory=RTL > I thought about > using a lightweight SQL lib (e.g. sqlite) before I found multi_index. > But I don't save my data into a file, so multi_index fits perfect. > You can also save/load multi_index_containers contents to/from a file via Boost.Serialization.

Visual C++ 2005 (8.0) support
by Ovanes Markarian 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

Hi all, did someone test boost 1.33 with Visual C++ 2005(8.0)? I am wondering how I can compile the library using jam. Should I use VC++ 7.1 option? Another question. I derived an iterator from the iterator_facade template. As I have recently found out VC++ 8.0 did not support friend template classes, e.g. template<class ....> class my_type { template <class> friend class my_type; ... }; This will not work in VC++ 8.0. Did you know about this issue? Should this be filed as a bug at MS? With Kind Regards, Ovanes Markarian

[threads] read_write_mutex and condtion
by Phil Endecott 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

Dear All, Is it possible to use a boost::condition in combination with a read_write_mutex? I've tried but failed. This is with 1.32.0. My test code follows. As you can see it can use either a mutex or a read_write_mutex depending on which bits are commented-out. It works as expected with a mutex, but with a read_write_mutex I get a compiler error, shown below. Perhaps I am missing some fundamental reason why conditions can't work with read_write_mutexes. Can someone explain? Thanks, Phil. #include <string> #include <iostream> #include <boost/thread/mutex.hpp> #include <boost/thread/read_write_mutex.hpp> #include <boost/thread/condition.hpp> #include <boost/thread/thread.hpp> #include <boost/bind.hpp> #include <unistd.h> using namespace std; using namespace boost; struct shared_thing { string data; //typedef mutex mx_t; //typedef mutex::scoped_lock read_lock; //typedef mutex::scoped_lock write_lock; typedef read_write_mutex mx_t; typedef read_write_mutex::scoped_read_lock read_lock; typedef read_write_mutex::scoped_write_lock write_lock; mx_t mx; condition cn; shared_thing::shared_thing(void): //mx() mx(read_write_scheduling_policy::writer_priority) {} void writer(void) { while(1) { sleep(1); { write_lock l(mx); data += "."; cn.notify_all(); } } } void reader(void) { while(1) { read_lock l(mx); cn.wait(l); cout << data << endl; } } }; int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { shared_thing t; thread wr_thread(bind(&shared_thing::writer,&t)); t.reader(); } $ g++ -pthread -O -Wall -o condvar condvar.cc -lboost_thread /usr/include/boost/thread/detail/read_write_lock.hpp: In member function `void boost::condition::wait(L&) [with L = boost::detail::thread::scoped_read_lock<boost::read_write_mutex>]': condvar.cc:51: instantiated from here /usr/include/boost/thread/detail/read_write_lock.hpp:297: error: ` boost::read_write_mutex&boost::detail::thread::scoped_read_lock<boost::read_write_mutex>::m_mutex ' is private /usr/include/boost/thread/condition.hpp:92: error: within this context
