linker problem with date_time library

Hi, I get an linker message if I compile my app with gcc-3.4.2 on Linux and link it against date_time library of boost 1.33.1: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-suse-linux/3.3.1/../../../../i586-suse-linux/bin/l d: `.L1966' referenced in section `.rodata' of .libs/oci_date.o: defined in discarded section `.gnu.linkonce.t._ZN5boost9date_time23gregorian_calendar_baseINS0_19year _month_day_baseINS_9gregorian9greg_yearENS3_10greg_monthENS3_8greg_dayEE EmE16end_of_month_dayES4_S5_' of .libs/oci_date.o I only instantiate an ptime and call time_from_string and to_iso_extended_string. What is going wrong? Regards, Oliver

Robert, Thanks for your prompt response. I saw the compile-time assert saying the problem was probably a missing wrapper, but for some reason, I never thought about the temporary object used to make the test. Thanks again. Merrill

compiling 1_33_1 with vc6 / sp6 fails with error C2258...
by Ingo Becker 23 Dec '05

23 Dec '05

Hi, i try to compile boost_1_33_1 or boost_1_33_0 with Visual C++ 6 (SP 6) on Windows XP (SP 2) and also on Windows 2000 (SP 4). The libraries date_time, filesystem, iostreams, regex, signals, test, thread, wave seems to be compiled without errors. But then..... The compilation fails with a syntax-error (pure virtual method needs '=0'...). ... vc-C++ bin\boost\libs\program_options\build\libboost_program_options.lib\msvc\debug\runtime-link-static\cmdline.obj cmdline.cpp F: \boost_init\boost_1_33_1\boost/program_options/options_description.hpp(156) : error C2258: Ungueltige Syntax fr rein virtuelle Methode; '= 0' erforderlich F: \boost_init\boost_1_33_1\boost/program_options/options_description.hpp(156) : error C2252: 'm_default_line_length' : Nur Funktionen koennen rein virtuell deklariert werden F: \boost_init\boost_1_33_1\boost/program_options/options_description.hpp(159) : error C2065: 'm_default_line_length' : nichtdeklarierter Bezeichner ... Something i've forgotten to set/configure ? Any help would be apreciated. Ingo

unchain_ptr functionality?
by Alo Sarv 23 Dec '05

23 Dec '05

Hi all When writing generic code, it's sometimes needed to call a member function of a passed object, however it's not known at the implementation time whether the function is passed a pointer or reference to the object. For example: template<typename T> void process(T t) { t.foo(); } This breaks as soon as the function is passed a pointer (or smart pointer) type, which means one needs to either provide overloads for all those cases (inconvenient), or have means of unchaining the pointer (it could also be pointer-to-pointer for example). Basically I'm looking for syntax like this: template<typename T> void process(T t) { unchain_ptr(t).foo(); } struct X { void foo() {} }; X *x = new X; process(x); process(&x); process(*x); process(boost::shared_ptr<X>(x)); // etc Is there such an utility in Boost libraries? Currently I wrote the implementation myself, and achieved the expected syntax, but perhaps there's an existing implementation already that I could use instead? I saw some libraries (multi_index) using something like this internally, but there doesn't seem to be any "end-user" API for this as far as I can see... Alo Sarv

bug in signals library? - segmentation fault (only linked) -> exit(11) called
by Oliver.Kowalke＠infineon.com 23 Dec '05

Hello, I get an segmentation fault if I try to link against libboost_signals-gcc-1_33_1 or libboost_signals-gcc-mt-1_33_1! The application consist only of an empty main function and the binary is linked against the signals library. I've appended an output (tusc.out) of tusc (trace unix system calls) which indicates, that exit(11) is called and so a core dump created.

[serialization] Lost in serialization (save_construct_data and reference)
by codeur＠altern.org 22 Dec '05

22 Dec '05

Hello, Four questions about serialization :=) Let's go. 1) I have a class that have a reference on a vector of shared pointers to objects . Since I have no default constructors I redefined save_construct_data like this : template<class Archive> inline void save_construct_data( Archive & ar, const MyClass<Real> * t, // CLASS IS TEMPLATED const unsigned int file_version) { ar << & t->myref_; } I have got the following error (same problem with & operator): error: no match for 'operator<<' in 'ar << [...] 2) I there a tricky way to define this function for all type used to instantiate MyClass ? 3) Is it me or this example in the documentation : // save data required to construct instance ar << t.member1; // serialize reference to object as a pointer ar << & t.member2; should be : ar << t->member1; ar << & t->member2; ? 4) Should it be possible to add more examples which use templates in the library (since a lot of a macros are not available) ? Thanks in advance for your help!

Is it possible to write parser of binary data (ie. NULL is just some value, not string delimiter) using Spirit or Xpressive? Did anyone actualy tried it? B.

bjam using vc7.1
by Scott Harris 21 Dec '05

21 Dec '05

Hi, I have used a few boost libraries that did not require me to use bjam (just templates) but now I am trying to use bjam to build some examples in boost. I have an environment like: set BOOST_ROOT=C:\scott\boost\boost_1_33_1 REM because asio documentation said it needed to be defined set BOOST_DATE_TIME_NO_LIB=value_does_not_matter REM trying to avoid this warning REM Please define _WIN32_WINNT or _WIN32_WINDOWS appropriately REM Assuming _WIN32_WINNT=0x0500 (i.e. Windows 2000 target) REM windows XP = 0x0501 set _WIN32_WINNT=0x0501 REM Boost Build requirements set VC71_ROOT=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7 set PATH=%VC71_ROOT%\bin;C:\scott\boost\bin;%PATH% vcvars32.bat Some questions: 1) How do I avoid the following warning output when building with bjam? Please define _WIN32_WINNT or _WIN32_WINDOWS appropriately Assuming _WIN32_WINNT=0x0500 (i.e. Windows 2000 target) 2) I am used to having solution and project files for Microsoft Development Environment (MDE) using Visual C++. bjam apparently does not create these files. Can I get bjam to create project files? How does one use the debugger in MDE without project files? It would be inconvenient to have to always attached to a running process. Thanks, Scott
