[function] How do you bind two boost::function objects together?
by Jason House 01 Oct '06

01 Oct '06

I'm trying to convert the input argument to a function object using a small helper function object. The code below looks relatively simple, but it doesn't seem to compile. Any ideas what could be wrong? template<typename inputType, typename outputType> boost::function<outputType (int)> convert(boost::function<outputType (inputType)> &object_to_convert){ boost::function<intputType (int)> input_converter(...); // The following fails to compile boost::function<outputType (int)> converted_function (boost::lambda::bind(object_to_convert, input_converter)); return converted_function }

[Date_Time]A better algorithm for from_undelimited_string(string)

It's seems faster than the algorithm now in use. The execute file and project file please see the attach.

[date_time] Warnings in VC8
by Arkadiy Vertleyb 01 Oct '06

01 Oct '06

Hi, I am getting a few "possible loss of data" warnings while using the datetime library. For example, VC8 complains about the following code in microsec_clock.hpp: boost::uint64_t filetime = ... ... boost::uint32_t sub_sec = (filetime % 10000000) / 10; // microseconds The compiler also complains about similar issue in from_ftime. Is this a known issue? Regards, Arkadiy

date_time: convert std::time_t to printable date in local time
by Andreas Ntaflos 01 Oct '06

01 Oct '06

Hello boost-users, I am quite new to Boost and this is my first post to this list. My problem is quite similar to one posted to this list two years ago [1]. Since there don't seem to be any follow-ups to that message I hope to find an answer by posting here. A program of mine reads a Unix timestamp from a database (the field is simply of type NUMERIC(10,0), written to by PHP's time() [2] function) into a `std::time_t time' object, holding the seconds since the epoch, in UTC. No time zone adjustments are applied as far as I understood. I need to convert this time_t to a ptime (or any other kind of printable, readable string) with time zone adjustments applied. Converting with the from_time_t() method works fine, except that the resulting date and time are still in UTC. What would be the most simple way to have the time_t converted to a ptime with local time zone adjustments? The time zone could be any but it would suffice if it is the one the computer running the program is in. I could even hardcode the time zone into the program. Hopefully I made enough sense to have someone knowing help me out. RTFM answers are most welcome, although I have read much of the docs on the date_time library on the Boost homepage. So if possible please point me to the section in the that is relevant to my problem. If this is not possible with Boost are there any other functions I could use, probably from the standard library? Thanks a lot in advance!

lambda boost::array operator[] error

Hi All, Please take a look these two similar set of statements. One uses vector, the other boost::array : /**/ using std::vector; using boost::array; using std::for_each; using boost::lambda::_1; // This one compiles: typedef vector<int> Vector; Vector v(2); vector<Vector> vv(5,v); for_each( vv.begin(), vv.end(), (_1[0]=10, _1[1]=9) ); // This one doesn't: typedef array<int,2> Array; vector<Array> va(5); for_each( va.begin(), va.end(), (_1[0]=10, _1[1]=9) ); /**/ With MSVC 7.1, I get: ===== d:\boost\include\boost-1_33_1\boost\lambda\detail\operator_lambda_func_base.hpp(237): error C2679: binary '=' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'const boost::tuples::cons<HT,TT>::stored_head_type' (or there is no acceptable conversion) with [ HT=const boost::lambda::detail::parameter_traits_<const int,const boost::lambda::detail::IF<false,const int &,const int>::RET>::type, TT=boost::tuples::detail::map_tuple_to_cons<boost::tuples::null_type,boost::tuples::null_type,boost::tuples::null_type,boost::tuples::null_type,boost::tuples::null_type,boost::tuples::null_type,boost::tuples::null_type,boost::tuples::null_type,boost::tuples::null_type,boost::tuples::null_type>::type ] ====================================================== With gcc 3.4.4, I get a moderately sized novel, whose last line reads: ===== /usr/local/include/boost/lambda/detail/operator_lambda_func_base.hpp:136: error: conversion from `int' to non-scalar type `boost::lambda::detail::unspecified' requested ======================================================= This is boost version 1.33.1.

Fwd: boost regex library problem with release build
by Maggie Nguyen 30 Sep '06

30 Sep '06

I fixed the problem. For debug: my project setting as: C/C++ > Code Generation > Runtime LIbrary as "Multi-threaded DLL (/MD)" But in my release setting: C/C++ > Code Generation > Runtime LIbrary as "Multi-threaded (/MT)" When I changed it to "Multi-threaded DLL (/MD)", then it works! As indicated in the boost/boost/config/user.hpp, which needs _DLL flag.
