[boost][tokenizer] std::wstring question
by David Klein 08 Jun '05

08 Jun '05

hi, Is there a reason why the template params for the tokenizer class are std::string? This makes it "harder" to use it with std::wstring. You have to write: tokenizer<char_separator<wchar_t>, std::wstring::const_iterator, std::wstring> tkz; ... Instead of: tokenizer<char_separator<wchar_t> > tkz; ... (i guess i'm very lazy ;) I changed the scope of the string_type typedef for the xxx_separator classes to public, and used this typedef in the tokenizer template params. Now std::wstring works like std::string for me. *** token_functions.hpp *** class char_separator/char_delimiters_separator/... { public: typedef std::basic_string<Char,Traits> string_type; ... }; *** tokenizer.hpp *** template < typename TokenizerFunc = char_delimiters_separator<char>, typename Iterator = /*std::string::const_iterator*/ TokenizerFunc::string_type::const_iterator, typename Type = /*std::string*/ TokenizerFunc::string_type > class tokenizer {...}; regards /dave

Boost Test - catching assertions, marking them as a success?
by Kevin Wheatley 08 Jun '05

08 Jun '05

Hi, I'm looking at using Boost Test as a means to carry out unit tests and wondered if there is a guard for assertions like there is for exception handling to say, "this test should assert()", fail if it does not. This would be really handy, especially if it was available in the Auto unit tests: BOOST_AUTO_UNIT_TEST_SHOULD_ASSERT( object_calls_assert ) { myobject foo; foo.callAssert(); } or something similar.

RE: [Boost-users] Problem with boost::signal. How to call just one slotin signal
by Brian Braatz 08 Jun '05

08 Jun '05

Forgive me. I reviewed your code- but I am having a hard time totally seeing what you are trying to do (by the code alone). Allow me to offer a suggestion from what I understand of your description of the problem: 1- For your special callback, save it off somewhere as a boost.function<> 2- then call the boost.function<> you have saved before calling your signals It is not clear to me if you want the "special" callback to also be in the signal. If so, you can add it (and the above still works) Hope that helps Brian > -----Original Message----- > From: boost-users-bounces(a)lists.boost.org [mailto:boost-users- > bounces(a)lists.boost.org] On Behalf Of Juho Mäkinen > Sent: Monday, June 06, 2005 11:56 PM > To: boost-users(a)lists.boost.org > Subject: [Boost-users] Problem with boost::signal.

boost::filesystem bug for win98
by Sebastien Martel 07 Jun '05

07 Jun '05

Hello, The windows implementation for find_first_file is flawed for windows 98. The problem is appending \* to the dir path: this is not supported for win98. Here is a possible fix that has been working for me quite well. inline const char * find_first_file( const char * dir, BOOST_HANDLE & handle, BOOST_SYSTEM_DIRECTORY_TYPE & data ) { // std::cout << "find_first_file " << dir << std::endl; // \* is not supported on win98 //std::string dirpath( std::string(dir) + "\\*" ); std::string dirpath( dir ); dirpath += ( dirpath.empty() || dirpath[dirpath.size()-1] != '\\' ) ? "\\*" : "*"; return ( (handle = ::FindFirstFileA( dirpath.c_str(), &data )) == BOOST_INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE ) ? 0 : data.cFileName; } -- Best regards, Sebastien mailto:smartel@real.com

Problem with boost::signal. How to call just one slot in signal
by Juho Mäkinen 07 Jun '05

07 Jun '05

Hello. I'm having problems with boost::signal. I have a simple callback system: typedef boost::signal<void (const String &)> StringCallbacks; TSharedPtr<StringCallbacks> stringCallbacks; stringCallbacks contains void (Const String &) -callback functions. New callback functions are registered into the callback system with registerCallback -function: template<class VarType> class SettingUpdater { private: VarType & reference; SettingUpdater(VarType & var) : reference(var) { } public: void operator()(const String & setting) { // do someting irrelevant for the question here // with the reference -variable } }; boost::signals::connection registerCallback(StringCallbacks::slot_type callback) { // PROBLEM: I'd like to call the callback once without calling every callback // which are possibly registered already into the signal before this. // Register the new callback into the signal. return stringCallbacks.get()->connect(callback); } The actual usage of registerCallback: int localVariable; registerCallback(SettingUpdater<int>(localVariable)); Question: As you might already see above, I'd like to call the callback function once in the registerCallback function without calling every callback already registered in the stringCallbacks signal. I first tried something like String param = "foo"; callback(param); but that won't compile. I also tried callback.get_slot_function()(param); That compiles, but it won't execute the operator() -function in SettingUpdater. Calling the signal will execute all callbacks registered, so the SettingUpdater function seems working. How I can execute the operator() function in SettingUpdater<> inside registerCallback function by the callback parameter passed to registerCallback function? Thanks in advance =) - Juho Mäkinen

boost::trim Am I wrong?
by Sheng QuanHu 07 Jun '05

07 Jun '05

I just write a simple test of trim: #include <string> #include <boost/algorithm/string.hpp> int main(){ using namespace std; string temp = " just test "; boost::trim(temp); return 0; } but it couldn't pass the compile, error was: [C++ Error] trim.hpp(233): E2285 Could not find a match for 'detail::trim_end(undefined,undefined,detail::is_classifiedF)' [C++ Error] trim.hpp(126): E2285 Could not find a match for 'detail::trim_begin(undefined,undefined,detail::is_classifiedF)' but when I move the "using namespace std;" out of main function: #include <string> #include <boost/algorithm/string.hpp> using namespace std; int main(){ string temp = " just test "; boost::trim(temp); return 0; } I don't know why?

minor error in example for numeric_cast
by Markus Werle 06 Jun '05

06 Jun '05

Hi! Just a minor documentation bug, but worth to be fixed: In the example on page http://www.boost.org/libs/numeric/conversion/doc/numeric_cast.html the line #include <boost/numeric_cast.hpp> should be replaced by #include <boost/cast.hpp> best regards, Markus
