Will libraries built on WinNT run on Win98? (MinGW)
by Reed Hedges 31 Mar '05

31 Mar '05

I know that Win98 is not really supported, but is there any chance that libraries (specifically thread and regex) that were build on WinNT using MinGW work on Win98 (in MinGW)? My guess is no, but has anyone tried it? thanks reed

regex_search: Lazy evaluation of iterators
by David McKelvie 31 Mar '05

31 Mar '05

In previous emails I complained that if one used an extended syntax regex on an InputIterator (or a BidirectionalIterator) then regex_search sought to the end of the iterator before returning the first match. This has obvious disadvantages if one wants to implement lazy matching of regexes on a potentially large input stream. My hypothesis about what is happening is: The seeking to the end is due to the extended syntax wanting to know which is the leftmost match. This is done by asking the distance between the matched substring and the 'end' of the sequence. If the iterator is an InputIterator then STL (at least the version I'm using from gcc 3.3.2) says, the only way I can do this, is to seek to the end of the sequence, to find how far away I am from the end. Thus, the problem. If I redefine the iterator as a RandomAccessIterator, and define operator-, and operator +=, then STL uses operator- to find the distance between the match and the end. Which is better, but still not ideal, as I'm assuming that I dont know at that point where the end is. I'll know when I get there, but not before. I suggest that a cleaner conceptual way of doing this would be to ask how far we are from the start of the iterator. My apologies for any inaccuracies in the above and my ignorance of earlier debates on this or related issues. David

I suppose there is a correlation between the link error and the 32bit and 64bit libraries installed on my system (x86_64). Is such a thing possible? There always two library-paths: lib and lib64. Boost is installed in lib. Christian ______________________________________________________________ Verschicken Sie romantische, coole und witzige Bilder per SMS!

multitoken program_options in vc++6
by James E Taylor 31 Mar '05

31 Mar '05

boost-users, I am trying to use multitoken arguments with MS Visual C++ 6. The problem is my multitoken option description is not being recognised, so when I run the program with more than one token after the --multi flag, I get an exception. A minimalist program is below. Please note the necessary hack of providing 5 args to po::parse_command_line, which I have to do to satisfy the vc6 compiler. I'm linking with libboost_program_options-vc6-sgd.lib Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, James int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { po::options_description desc("Allowed options"); try { desc.add_options() ("multi", po::value<string>()->multitoken(), "multi token argument") ; po::variables_map vm; /* next line, have to pass 5 args to parse_command_line: seems to be */ /* a compiler problem in vc6 */ po::store(po::parse_command_line(argc, argv, desc, 0, po::ext_parser()), vm); po::notify(vm); cout << "parsed successfully" << endl; } catch ( const std::exception &e ) { cerr << e.what() << endl << desc << endl; return -1; } return 0; } -- James E Taylor ___________________________________ NOCC, http://nocc.sourceforge.net

Is there a way to write the Tyepdef MyClass<std::ofstream,bind(&std::ofstream::open,_1,"MyFile.txt") MyNewClass; As a MPL driven expression, or is the "typeof" the only option (I am ignoring the hand coded functor option). (I am asking partially because I am having a hard time "seeing" the difference between the MPL lambda and the boost lambda- I will keep re-reading the MPL book... :) ) (also don't get me wrong, the typeof looks very cool- I am just trying to connect the dots) ALSO I REALLY WISH I could pass strings to templates, maybe if I am lucky Santa will join the C++ committee.......

MPL Question on crossing the compile \ runtime barrier with bind | adding to boost profiler abstracted file access
by Brian Braatz 30 Mar '05

30 Mar '05

I have been reading (ahem and re-reading) "C++ Template Metaprogramming" I have a problem I am trying to solve and was up late last night looking for the answer to jump out at me. If nothing else this helps me as I tend to re-read the same chapters over and over. Here is what I am trying to do In working on coded I am adding to the proposed Boost Profiler (started by Chris Diggings, inherited by yours truly). I am using RAII all "over" my program in the extensions I am adding to the profiler. This puts me in a spot where I have MACROs which stuff the profile points in the program. Now the problem is I would like to be able to add a template param to the TYPE of the profile points which gives it the initialization code for the STREAM it is using. The problem is since the objects themselves get created ALL OVER the program, I don't have a single point of construction (because I am using RAII to track the life cycles inside the functions themselves). I.e. I want to be able to use Boost.IOstreams or ofstream or whatever for these objects.I just need to , at the TYPE DEFINITION be able to define how to initialize this passed stream. I need to be able to do something like this Template <typename STREAMTYPE, typename INITFUNCTOR> Class MyClass { Public: STREAMTYPE outstream; MyClass() { INITFUNCTOR f(outstream); // open the file, init iostreams , or whatever } }; I can always pass in a functor, but what I really want for Christmas is to be able to Tyepdef MyClass<std::ofstream, bind(&std::ofstream::open,_1,"MyFile.txt") > MyNewClass; This doesn't work because bind returns an actual OBJECT instead of a type. (intuitively - it would be cool if I could say bind(...)::Type which would give me the TYPE of the generated functor) SO that led me to be up until 3 am reading about mpl::lambda. I am still trying to determine if THAT can be used in place, but the dots are not connecting for me yet. Any suggestions or directions pointed GREATLY appreciated. Is there a way to make this work with MPL::Lambda? Thanks Brian
