[Boost.Test] Link error, need to be pointed in the right direction
by Peter Foley 21 Mar '05

21 Mar '05

Hi, (Apologies if this gets through twice, I think my mail client used the wrong email address the first time) Thanks for taking the time to read through this. First things first: I am using Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition, I have compiled boost version 1.32. I have included the path to the include directory and the lib files directory. Boost is working I have managed to compile and run a number of the other examples (including linking against the libs created during the bjam process (eg boost.threads). The code that has the link error was taken from: http://www.boost.org/libs/test/doc/components/utf/getting_started/index. html --Code-- #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> using namespace boost::unit_test; test_suite* init_unit_test_suite( int argc, char* argv[] ) { test_suite* test= BOOST_TEST_SUITE( "const_string test" ); return test; } // EOF --End Code-- The comment at the end of the code suggests that I can compile this code with no errors. Now for the errors: -- Build Log Output -- ------ Build started: Project: Test, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------ Compiling... const_string_test.cpp Linking... const_string_test.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall boost::unit_test::test_suite::test_suite(class boost::unit_test::basic_cstring<char const >)" (??0test_suite@unit_test@boost@@QAE@V?$basic_cstring@$$CBD@12@@Z) referenced in function "class boost::unit_test::test_suite * __cdecl init_unit_test_suite(int,char * * const)" (?init_unit_test_suite@@YAPAVtest_suite@unit_test@boost@@HQAPAD@Z) LIBCMTD.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _main referenced in function _mainCRTStartup Debug/Test.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals Build log was saved at <--SNIPPED LOG PATH--> Test - 3 error(s), 0 warning(s) ========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ========== -- End Build Log Output -- I know it is probably something really simple but for the life of me I am just missing it =/. Let me know if you need any more information. Thanks for any advice you can give. Peter.

How to build the giallo socket library?
by Paul Elliott 20 Mar '05

20 Mar '05

Does anyone know the procedure for building the giallo socket library in the boost sandbox? I was able to checkit out of CVS but I was not able to figure out the build procedure. I asked on the giallo mailing list with no response. Perhaps the project has gone dormant? Is boost fixin to have a socket library in the future? -- Paul Elliott 1(512)837-1096 pelliott(a)io.com PMB 181, 11900 Metric Blvd Suite J http://www.io.com/~pelliott/pme/ Austin TX 78758-3117

Can't compile basic boost.python program
by Derakon 20 Mar '05

I'm following the Boost.python tutorial, and having some problems with compiling, of all things. Here's the file I'm trying to compile: #include <boost-1_32/boost/python.hpp> char const* greet() { return "Hello, world!"; } using namespace boost::python; BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(hello) { def("greet", greet); } And here's the compilation error: % make g++ -g -Wall -pedantic -I/usr/local/include/boost-1_32 -c -o test.o test.cpp In file included from /usr/local/include/boost-1_32/boost/python/detail/prefix.hpp:13, from /usr/local/include/boost-1_32/boost/python/args.hpp:8, from /usr/local/include/boost-1_32/boost/python.hpp:11, from test.cpp:1: /usr/local/include/boost-1_32/boost/python/detail/wrap_python.hpp:30:23: pyconfig.h: No such file or directory /usr/local/include/boost-1_32/boost/python/detail/wrap_python.hpp:54:24: patchlevel.h: No such file or directory /usr/local/include/boost-1_32/boost/python/detail/wrap_python.hpp:57:2: #error Python 2.2 or higher is required for this version of Boost.Python. /usr/local/include/boost-1_32/boost/python/detail/wrap_python.hpp:121:21: Python.h: No such file or directory In file included from /usr/local/include/boost-1_32/boost/python/cast.hpp:13, from /usr/local/include/boost-1_32/boost/python/handle.hpp:10, from /usr/local/include/boost-1_32/boost/python/args_fwd.hpp:10, from /usr/local/include/boost-1_32/boost/python/args.hpp:10, from /usr/local/include/boost-1_32/boost/python.hpp:11, from test.cpp:1: /usr/local/include/boost-1_32/boost/python/base_type_traits.hpp:24: error: ` PyObject' was not declared in this scope /usr/local/include/boost-1_32/boost/python/base_type_traits.hpp:25: error: template argument 1 is invalid /usr/local/include/boost-1_32/boost/python/base_type_traits.hpp:26: confused by earlier errors, bailing out make: *** [test.o] Error 1 As near as I can figure, my install of Boost got screwed up.

unordered_map/hash_table bug?
by Martin Wartens 20 Mar '05

20 Mar '05

Hi, has anybody tried the implementation of unordered map that can be found at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/jtc1-sc22-wg21-2003-n1456.tar.gz ? I believe there is a bug in the rehash function of the underlying hash_table. The new bucket indices are computed using the old number of buckets. That means that the items stored in these buckets cannot be found anymore later. I checked my hash function and it seems to be right. The bug doesn't seem to show if the trivial hash function that comes with this package is used (maps val->val). BTW: what is the reason behind burying potentially useful code in a place where nobody can find it? (I mean the "yahoo groups") Is there still life in the development of this package?

result_of tutorial
by Ian McCulloch 19 Mar '05

19 Mar '05

I'm sure this has been asked before, but searching the archives I cannot find anything. Is there some tutorial material on result_of anywhere? The boost documentation simply points to n1454, which doesn't contain much in the way of examples, and the TR1 document (n1647) which has no examples at all. Cheers, Ian

Problem with boost/iterator_facade.hpp on HP-UX
by Thomas Matelich 19 Mar '05

19 Mar '05

Global namespace pollution strikes again. /usr/include/machine/reg.h defines a symbol R1, which messes up boost/iterator_facade.hpp. I'm not sure what the boost policy is on stuff like this, name change or #undef. I went with name change. I just changed all R1's to Ref1's and R2's to Ref2's (for consistency). If you'd like a patch, I can submit one, but its a pretty simple fix. Oh, and I'm using 1.32 Thanks, Tom

BGL: adjacency list, EdgeList, VertexList
by Sachin Ahuja 18 Mar '05

18 Mar '05

Hi all: Is it possible to access the container type that represents the edge-list of a graph. That is, if a graph type is like so: typedef adjacency_list< vecS, vecS, bidirectionalS > graph_type; then, is it possible to do write something like this: typedef typename graph_type::EdgeListContainer EdgeListC; Ditto for the container type that represents the vertex set of a graph. Thanks very much, S

listS vecS
by panoply＠att.net 18 Mar '05

18 Mar '05

What is the underlying implementation of listS or vecS? Are they just STL vectors and lists? If the answer is yes, then there is a good deal of comfort I have about what I can or cannot get away with... Is there any other type besides those two allowed, or planned for future versions of BGL? -Brent

boost variant with exported attribute on VC++ 2003
by gast128 18 Mar '05

18 Mar '05

Dear all, I get a compile error when I want to export a class derived from boost variant, e.g.: struct __declspec(dllexport) BlaVariant : public boost::variant<bool> { BlaVariant() {} }; It gives C2666. What do I wrong... As a workaround I can aggregate it instead of derivation (although I think in my case it was a really an 'ISA' relationship) wkr, me
