bug on /libs/graph/doc/using_adjacency_list.html
by martin f krafft 13 Jun '05

In this text: NOTE: The Boost Graph Library supports two interchangeable methods for specifying interior properties: bundled properties and property lists. The former is easier to use and requires less effort, whereas the latter is compatible with older, broken compilers and is backward-compatible with Boost versions prior to 1.32.0. If you absolutely require these compatibility features, read on to learn about property lists. Otherwise, we strongly suggest that you read about the bundled properties mechanism. I really think that "former" and "latter" got swapped around. :) -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:" net@madduck invalid/expired pgp subkeys? use subkeys.pgp.net as keyserver! spamtraps: madduck.bogus(a)madduck.net "a cigarette is the perfect type of pleasure. it is exquisite, and it leaves one unsatisfied." -- oscar wilde

No << or & operator defined (a different problem?)
by Marcin Tustin 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

I'm getting substantially the same error as before: c:\D2\API\NewClient\EnhancedMessageHandler.h(371) : error C2679: binary '&' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'int' (or there is no acceptable conversion) Or, alternatively binary '<<' when using the << operator, in the code: template<class Archive > static void save(Archive & ar, const IplJrsMediaTimePoint& g, const unsigned int version) { ar << ( const int )(g.GetYear()); } - But also when I use static_cast or for type uint32 when I don't have a cast. Any suggestions very gratefully received.

Re: [Boost-users] Boost.Serialization and Pointers to ObjectsofDerived Classes
by Richard Jennings 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

Thanks for your reply. I included the void_cast_register call because the base class is not being serialised by the derived class nor is the derived class being serialised and hence my understanding was that it was needed in this special case. It works with the paramaters to void_cast_register swapped. The include file void_cast.hpp does show the parameters as you state, however the documentation and examples have them in the order <base, derived> (special.html). Can I suggest that this is updated please? Regards, Richard -----Original Message----- From: boost-users-bounces(a)lists.boost.org [mailto:boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org] On Behalf Of Robert Ramey Sent: 10 June 2005 16:52 To: boost-users(a)lists.boost.org Subject: [Boost-users] Re: Boost.Serialization and Pointers to ObjectsofDerived Classes void_cast_register should be necessary only in the most unusual cases. It should happen automatically as part of the "base_object" wrappers call. Also it is used void_cast_register<Derived, Base> which is the opposite you've of what you've done below. So I would remove it from your example. The export should make up for this. There are number of code paths related to borland 5.64 and borland 5.51. I don't know anything about borland 6. void_cast/export/template instantiation are areas which many compilers have exhibited unexpected behavior. So its quite possible that the code as is can't accomodate BC 6. As far as I know - we've never seen borland 6 or tested it. So if you want to use any part of boost with a new compiler whose ancestor has a history of special requirements, you should be prepared to run the test suite for that compiler. Please do this and post the results. Robert Ramey

BOOST_HAS_HASH not defined in config\stdlib\dinkumware.hpp?
by Erik Charlebois 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

Was trying to use boost::serialize on a stdext::hash_map (with VC++ 8) and noticed that BOOST_HAS_HASH is not defined in the standard library configuration header for dinkumware stl. Is this a bug in boost? In the meantime I'll just define it in my makefile. Erik Charlebois

Building Boost on Mac OS X
by Brian Campbell 10 Jun '05

10 Jun '05

I'm trying to build boost (boost_1_31_0) as a dependency for monotone <http://venge.net/monotone/> on Mac OS X 10.4 (tiger). I'm doing this using gcc-3.3 because monotone doesn't work properly with gcc 4. Following the instructions in monotone for how to build boost, it tells me to do this: $BJAM "-sBUILD=release <threading>single <optimization>speed <runtime- link>static" This failed on a few of the targets, with an error that crt0.o was not found. This is probably because static linking of binaries is not supported on Mac OS X: http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1118.html So I tried removing the <runtime-link>static option, but then I started getting errors about not being able to find certain symbols. For some projects, it was complaining about not being able to find _main. It also complained about not being able to find __Z20init_unit_test_suiteiPPc in libboost_unit_test_framework, and there may have been other errors too. Here's the error output for some of these: gcc-Link-action bin/boost/libs/thread/build/libboost_thread.dylib/gcc/ release/shared-linkable-true/libboost_thread-gcc-1_31.dylib c++: unrecognized option `-shared' ld: Undefined symbols: _main gcc-Link-action bin/boost/libs/test/build/ libboost_unit_test_framework.dylib/gcc/release/shared-linkable-true/ libboost_unit_test_framework-gcc-1_31.dylib c++: unrecognized option `-shared' ld: Undefined symbols: __Z20init_unit_test_suiteiPPc So, I'm wondering what I need to do to get boost to build on darwin. Can anyone give me some help? Thanks, Brian

Boost.mpl metafunction with integral value problem
by Vyacheslav Kononenko 10 Jun '05

10 Jun '05

Hi, I've been trying boost::mpl for my current project and hit a problem. Sorry if it is an already known issue. So if we have our own metafucntion: template< typename T, typename Value > func : mpl::void_ {}; it works fine: typedef mpl::find_if< mpl::vector< int, char >, func< mpl::_1, mpl::int_< 10 > >::type iter; ... But if I try to use integral value instead: template< typename T, int Value > func : mpl::void_ {}; and typedef mpl::find_if< mpl::vector< int, char >, func< mpl::_1, 10 >::type iter; It fails on gcc 3.3.3 nor 3.4.3. So is it a limitation on language or compiler or library? I mean should second variant compile in generic? Regards, Vyacheslav

Serialization of heterogeneous sequence using shared_ptr<void>

boost/limits.hpp and GCC 3.2.3
by Dave Steffen 10 Jun '05

10 Jun '05

Folks, It looks to me like numeric_limits on GCC 3.2.3 is broken; specifically, numeric_limits<double>::has_infinity = false numeric_limits<double>::infinity() == 0 I suspect boost/limits.hpp could fix this if it knew to do so; but since <limits> exists, boost/limits.hpp doesn't 'fix' anything. Does anyone have thoughts about (reasonably portable) ways to "convince" boost/limits.hpp to provide numeric_limits even if the compiler already has one?

Boost.Serialization and Pointers to Objects of Derived Classes
by Richard Jennings 10 Jun '05

10 Jun '05

I am using Boost 1.32.0 with Borland C++ Builder 6 and attempting to serialize an object via a pointer to a base class but I am getting a runtime exception of "unregistered void cast". Having read the page in the documentation on Runtime Casting, I thought I should be able to use boost::serialization::void_cast_register<Base, Derived>(0,0); to associate the base and derived classes, but I can't get it to work. If I use the alternate method (to serialize the base class and provide a do-nothing serialize method in the base class) then it works fine. Any ideas what's wrong? The program below demonstrates the problem. Class A uses the serialize base class method and that's ok while class B uses the void_cast_register method and an exception is thrown when it's serialized: ----- #include <iostream> #include <boost/filesystem/fstream.hpp> #include <boost/filesystem/path.hpp> #include <boost/archive/xml_oarchive.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/export.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/base_object.hpp> #if defined(_DEBUG) # pragma link "libboost_serialization-bcb-mt-d-1_32.lib" #else # pragma link "libboost_serialization-bcb-mt-1_32.lib" #endif class Base_c { public: virtual void SomeMethod() = 0; private: friend class boost::serialization::access; template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version) {} }; BOOST_IS_ABSTRACT(Base_c) class A : public Base_c { public: A() : m_Id("A"){}; void SomeMethod(){}; private: friend class boost::serialization::access; template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version) { /* boost::serialization::void_cast_register<Base_c, A>(0,0); */ ar & boost::serialization::make_nvp("Base", boost::serialization::base_object<Base_c>(*this)); ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(m_Id); } std::string const m_Id; }; BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT(A); class B : public Base_c { public: B() : m_Id("B"){}; void SomeMethod(){}; private: friend class boost::serialization::access; template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version) { boost::serialization::void_cast_register<Base_c, B>(0,0); /* ar & boost::serialization::make_nvp("Base", boost::serialization::base_object<Base_c>(*this)); */ ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(m_Id); } std::string const m_Id; }; BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT(B) main(int, char**) { boost::filesystem::ofstream OfStream(boost::filesystem::path("D:\\Temp\\SerialisationText.xml", boost::filesystem::native)); boost::archive::xml_oarchive Archive(OfStream); try { Base_c *pBase, *pBase2; pBase = new A(); pBase2 = new B(); Archive & boost::serialization::make_nvp("AByBasePointer", pBase); std::cout << "Serialised A ok\n"; Archive & boost::serialization::make_nvp("BByBasePointer", pBase2); std::cout << "Serialised B ok\n"; } catch (std::exception& E) { std::cout << "Exception: " << E.what(); } } ----- The output is: Serialised A ok Exception: unregistered void cast

Boost.Serialization 1.32 trouble reading back an object first serialized in an std::vector then by pointer
by James Conrad 10 Jun '05

10 Jun '05

I'm evaluating the Boost.Serialization for use internal use as an interchange format between a number of loose knit projects, and I've run into a bit of trouble. I'm using Vc 7.1 in Visual Studio .NET 2003. It seems to me that, if I serialize an object first in an std::vector, and then serialize it later by pointer, that there is trouble reading it back. I boiled down the reproduction case to as little code as possible below. When newPolygon (below) is loaded from the archive, I get a bogus pointer for m_pLastVertex. If I serialize using a binary archive, I hit an assert in basic_iarchive.cpp line 371: assert(new_cid == cid); Where cid is 576 and new_cid is 2.

RE: [Boost-users] Re: Boost.Serialization 1.32 trouble reading backanobject first serialized in an std::vector then by pointer
by Yan Zhang 09 Jun '05

09 Jun '05

It strikes me that you can serialize the object and the address to it and then deserialize the object and the address which now points to the deserialized object. I used MFC serialization and I remembered that you cannot do it. Do I misunderstand something here?

The problem occurs with version 1.32 when addresses of objects are stored in containers. The problem occurs because objects are deserialized to a temporary and then moved into the container. This has been addressed by adding the function reset_object_address calling it during the deserialzation. This is explained in the CVS version. Robert Ramey Robert Ramey wrote: > I'll look at this.

Serialization - no & operator for primitives
by Marcin Tustin 09 Jun '05

09 Jun '05

I'm using a recent (a few days old) cvs version of boost, and the serialization libraries, and Visual Studio 7.1 is producing the error below. This is only happening to classes which I am exporting (like BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_GUID(D2::Message,"D2::Message");). The reason I am exporting them is that they are in many cases a) subclasses of each other b) accessed through a pointer. Any help would be deeply appreciated. My code is: template<class Archive > static void serialize(Archive & ar, D2::Message& g, const unsigned int version) { ar & g.getType(); // an int - error complains about this line. ar & g.getSender(); // a string ar & g.getMessage(); // a string } Error message: c:\D2\API\NewClient\EnhancedMessageHandler.h(132) : error C2679: binary '&' : no operator found which takes a right-hand

[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

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

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?

FOREACH issues with GCC 3.2.3
by Dave Steffen 04 Jun '05

04 Jun '05

Hi Folks, It recently became known that our customer is using GCC 3.2.3; so I tried to compile our code (which makes heavy use of the FOREACH macro) with 3.2.3. I get a _ton_ of error messages like: warning: unused variable `bool _foreach_rvalue' Since we always compile with options that make warnings fatal, a large part of our project can't compiler with GCC 3.2.3. Has anyone else seen this? Does anyone have a solution? (e.g. is there a hack that will fool compilers into thinking _foreach_rvalue is used?)

lexical_cast
by ian whittley 04 Jun '05

04 Jun '05

hi, would it be possible to add a set of overloads to lexical_cast to allow for more efficient conversions when the code to do so is readily available (and especially when it is part of the standard library)? below is part of my own rather simplistic implementation of this idea which has been tested on VC7.1 and seems to work fine. other overloads for floats using atof etc. proceed in a similar manner to that for ints. template<class T, class U> T to(U const& u) { return to(u, Type2Type<T>()); } template<class T, class U> T to(U const& u, Type2Type<T> const&) { return lexical_cast<T>(u); } int to(std::string const& arg, Type2Type<int> const&) { return atoi(arg.c_str()); } ian whittley

boost thread tutorial?
by Matthias Kaeppler 03 Jun '05

03 Jun '05

Howdy, I'm planning to use Boost.Thread in my program to utilize concurrency. I already had a closer look at the documentation and I noticed that it's lacking most parts for which I would consult a documentation in the first place: 1. API reference 2. A user guide showing how to use Boost.Thread in practical examples The only code examples I spotted were pseudo-code which were pretty meaningless to me. For example: void foo() { create_thread(&bar); } What is create_thread? Which arguments does it take? What is bar? I know I can't demand anything from the author since it's free software, but... this is simply not very helpful. So, does anyone know a good source with examples and maybe even an API reference of Boost.Thread? Thanks in advance. -- Matthias Kaeppler

tokenizer question
by Dennis Jones 03 Jun '05

03 Jun '05

Hi, I'm using the tokenizer class to allow users of my program to concatenate fields of data into a resultant string, where each field can be a quoted string literal, or some pre-defined entity that gets substituted by the program at some point later. The + symbol is treated like a concatenation operator. For example, a user might enter a string like this (including the quotes): "hello," + " world" In this case, my program would concatenate the two string literals ("hello," and " world") together so that the result is "hello, world" (note that these quotes are not actually part of the result string). My basic tokenizer usage is below: // FieldSpec is the incoming string as entered by the // user, including quotes to denote string literals std::string str = FieldSpec.c_str(); typedef boost::tokenizer<boost::char_separator<char> > tokenizer; boost::char_separator<char> fieldSeparator("+", "", boost::keep_empty_tokens); tokenizer fieldTokens(str, fieldSeparator); for ( tokenizer::iterator tok_iter = fieldTokens.begin(); tok_iter != fieldTokens.end(); ++tok_iter ) { // do something with the token // (could be a string literal or a pre-defined entity) } The problem I have is that the user might wish to include plus signs in his string lterals, as in this example: "1" + " + " + "2 = 3" Here, the user has entered a " + " which should indicate a literal plus sign as opposed to a concatenation operator. The obvious desired result would be: "1 + 2 = 3" (minus the quotes) My current usage of tokenizer does not handle this at all, as it has no regard for _where_ the '+' symbols are located in the user's string; that is, it doesn't care if they are within quotes or not. I would like my tokenizer usage to be smart enough to know the difference between _real_ token separators and those that might exist as string literals within quotes. Can I use the tokenizer class to do this, or do I need to use some other method to tokenize my strings? I see something about the concept of a TokenizerFunction in the documentation, but I don't really have any idea how to implement one, or if it would even be helpful in this situation. I'm rather new to the boost libraries and template usage in general, so all help and suggestions are welcome. Thanks, - Dennis

Randy _____ From: boost-users-bounces(a)lists.boost.org [mailto:boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org] On Behalf Of Ormond, Randy (Mission Systems) Sent: Wednesday, May 11, 2005 11:47 AM To: boost-users(a)lists.boost.org Subject: [Boost-users] Boost Logging Library 1.3 troubles Hi, If I'm following the threads correctly, it looks like John Torjo's logging library may become an official part of Boost someday. It certainly seems to be perfect for my needs. But I'm having all sorts of trouble on Red Hat with gcc 3.2.2-5. I had to modify some source to avoid compile errors, which has me worried given my lack of expertise. In log.hpp, I had to change (sorry, I can't paste in code or compiler output, this is typed in) template<bool is_compile_time, bool is_enabled> struct logger_keeper_is_enabled... to template<bool is_compile_time, bool is_enabledInput> struct logger_keeper_is_enabled... to avoid shadowing is_enabled in ts_posix.hpp, I had to change the mutex ctr from mutex() : m_mutex(0) {... to mutex() {... This seems OK because m_mutex is initialized in the ctr body. After making those changes, I tried the example in the basic_usage.html. It hangs on the first call to BOOST_DEFINE_LOG. I traced it with gdb to find_log_by_name() at log_manager.cpp:294. From there, it goes to the logger_info ctr. It hangs in lwm_pthreads.hpp:72 in the scoped_lock ctr, apparently trying to get a lock. Of course my mods to the source and general lack of insight have me worried. I expect difficulties as an "early adopter" but any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW, is anyone else trying to use this yet? Thanks, Randy

[thread] bug in to_microduration (timeconv.inl)?
by Paolo Coletta 02 Jun '05

02 Jun '05

I needed something to convert the difference between two xtime values to microseconds, so I looked at the to_microduration function in time_conv.inl and I guess that there is a bug there. The if should be: if (boost::xtime_cmp(xt, cur) <= 0) microseconds = 0; else ... In facts, the intent of the if condition seems to be avoiding negative return values, as for the to_duration function. Current code is: inline void to_microduration(const boost::xtime& xt, int& microseconds) { boost::xtime cur; int res = 0; res = boost::xtime_get(&cur, boost::TIME_UTC); assert(res == boost::TIME_UTC); if (boost::xtime_get(&cur, boost::TIME_UTC) <= 0) microseconds = 0; else { microseconds = (int)((xt.sec - cur.sec) * MICROSECONDS_PER_SECOND) + (((xt.nsec - cur.nsec) + (NANOSECONDS_PER_MICROSECOND/2)) / NANOSECONDS_PER_MICROSECOND); } } Paolo

RNG
by Sliwa, Przemyslaw (London) 02 Jun '05

02 Jun '05

All, I have a question which is not related directly to boost. I am writing a multithreaded application and would like to make use of a multiprocessor machine in order to speed up our Monte Carlo simulation engine. We make use of the random number package (random number distributions). My question is: making the random number generator a global variable (object) it is possible to use it in several threads at the same time -> does it mean that the random sequences will be repeated and the entire simulation will be simply a repetition of n non-random sequences? This can be avoided when a lock is acquired on the random number generator and at a given time just one thread can access the rng and the advantage of the multiprocessor machine is lost. Can you advise?

In Document class, I did a test similar to the one presented in demo_xml.cpp and demo_xml.hpp: ... #include "stdafx.h" #include "MFCTests.h" #include "MFCTestsDoc.h" #include <iostream> #include <sstream> #include <string> #include <boost/archive/tmpdir.hpp> #include <boost/archive/xml_oarchive.hpp> #include "demo_xml.hpp" .... void CMFCTestsDoc::OnTestSerialize() { bus_stop *bs0 = new bus_stop_corner( gps_position(34, 135, 52.560f), gps_position(134, 22, 78.30f), "24th Street", "10th Avenue" ); std::string filename(boost::archive::tmpdir()); filename += "/demo.xml"; std::ofstream ofs(filename.c_str()); assert(ofs.good()); boost::archive::xml_oarchive oa(ofs); oa << BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(*bs0); ... } Execution fails in last statement with message: Unhandled exception at 0x77e55dea in MFCTests.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: __non_rtti_object @ 0x0012e800. The build was debug build, application and library were build with runtime library option "Multi-threaded Debug (/MTd)". I tried to use different options such as "Multi-threaded Debug DLL (/MDd)", it failed the same way. In MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dv_vst echart/html/boostvc.asp), it discussed Boost for Visual Studio C++. It stated that Boost works well with VC++ 7.1. Of course we know it doesn't work well with previous VC++ such as VC++ 6.0 which I tried and failed badly.

You'll need to provide more info on your problem: some code, exact error messages, etc. So is Boost really mentioned in MSDN? Jeff Flinn PS. Please restrict your postings to plain text.

I installed Boost 1.32 in Windows with Visual Studio .NET 2003. I tested serialization provided in "vc7ide" project, it runs successfully. Of course, all test projects are "Console", no MFC library involved.

Hi Robert, As you pointed out, my MFC project RTTI was not enabled. Enable RTTI, it runs successfully. Thank you very much.

Boost.Tribool: GCC4 and anonymous enums
by Alo Sarv 01 Jun '05

01 Jun '05

GCC4 seems to be rather picky on anonymous enums, and some code seems to break in logic/tribool.hpp with the following error: boost/logic/tribool.hpp: In member function `boost::logic::tribool::operator void (boost::logic::tribool::dummy::*)()() const': boost/boost/logic/tribool.hpp:114: error: `boost::logic::tribool::<anonymous enum>' is/uses anonymous type boost/boost/logic/tribool.hpp:114: error: trying to instantiate `template<class T> struct boost::is_integral' boost/boost/logic/tribool.hpp:114: error: `boost::logic::tribool::<anonymous enum>' is/uses anonymous type boost/boost/logic/tribool.hpp:114: error: trying to instantiate `template<class T> struct boost::is_integral' Same error is repeated at lines 128, 161, and 162 (CVS HEAD). Workaround/patch is obvious (making the enum named), but I haven't managed to create a minimal test-case for the behaviour (the triggering code is rather large and there doesn't seem to be any logic in what actually triggers the error). Any ideas? Alo Sarv
