[bjam, binary compatibility] --layout=system and copying of binaries; different compiler versions
by Christoph Duelli 11 Jun '08

11 Jun '08

Following scenario: I have two machines M_a and M_b. M_a is running gcc4.1, M_b is running gcc4.2. Both have the same Boost Libs (1.35) compiled -with identical options- and installed (with their resp. gcc). I have used bjam option --layout=system. The Boost libs do therefore *not* have gcc41 or gcc42 in their names. Thus, the names are the same on both machines... which leads me to the following question: May I copy binaries (that link against Boost.Regex, Boost.FileSystem etc) from M_a to M_b? (or vice versa) The linker is happy as the libs required are there, but will it really work? Is this an *evil* thing to do? Best regards Christoph

[boost-users] Build boost libraries (e.g. filesystem) with gcc and -m32
by Andreas Profous 11 Jun '08

11 Jun '08

Hi all, I'm working on Intel Core2 Duo machine running Linux and have the following problem: I want to compile 32-bit versions of the boost libs with gcc, so that I can link and create 32bit programs. Unfortunately if I use bjam --toolset=gcc stage the libraries are built as 64bit libraries so if I link I get the following error: >g++ filesystem_test.cpp -g -m32 -c -o filesystem_test.o -L../boost/boost_1_35_0/stage/lib -I../boost/boost_1_35_0 >g++ filesystem_test.o -L../boost/boost_1_35_0/stage/lib -m32 -o filesystem_test -lboost_filesystem-gcc41-mt /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible .../boost/boost_1_35_0/stage/lib/libboost_filesystem-gcc41-mt.so when searching for -lboost_filesystem-gcc41-mt If I omit -m32 everything works fine. Help is very much appreciated, Andreas

I tried this. It seems to work. int lower_case(int c) { return tolower(c); } ... ... ... if (boost::filesystem::is_regular(itr->path())) { path = itr->path(); lpath = path.string(); transform(lpath.begin(), lpath.end(), lpath.begin(), lower_case); std::cout << path << std::endl; std::cout << lpath << std::endl; }

program_options: emit usage message on unknown option ?
by Stephen Collyer 11 Jun '08

11 Jun '08

Is it possible to have boost::program_options emit a usage message when an unknown option is supplied ? I have code which is parsing its options like this: > void UserAPI::parse_options(const std::vector<std::string>& required_options, > int argc, char* argv[], > std::string usage) > { > po::store(po::parse_command_line(argc, argv, options_desc_, options_style_), vm_); > po::notify(vm_); > > // count how many required options we have > > uint count = 0; > for (std::vector<std::string>::const_iterator s = required_options.begin(); > s != required_options.end(); ++s) > { > count += vm_.count(*s); > } > > // if we have a help option, or we don't have all the required options > // emit the usage message > > if ( vm_.count("help") || count != required_options.size() > ) > { > std::cout << usage << std::endl; > std::cout << options_desc_ << std::endl; > exit(1); > } > } If I pass an unknown option, it seems to be handled automagically: > install/linux/general -orgid ABC -p fred > unknown option -p I don't want this - I want to catch it somehow and emit my usage message, but this seems not to be documented, AFAICS. Anyone know how this can be done ? -- Regards Steve Collyer Netspinner Ltd

shared_ptr and multi_set
by Robert Kubrick 11 Jun '08

11 Jun '08

I am having a memory error when accessing a shared_ptr in a multi_set collection. I caught this comment in the shared_ptr documentation: int main() { std::vector<FooPtr> foo_vector; std::set<FooPtr,FooPtrOps> foo_set; // NOT multiset! ... http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/libs/smart_ptr/example/ shared_ptr_example.cpp So I guess shared_ptr in multi_set are not supported?

Using boost file memory mapping (managed_mapped_file) with a vector
by Henry 11 Jun '08

11 Jun '08

I am trying to use a vector with a managed_mapped_file. http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/doc/html/boost/interprocess/vector.html seems to indicate this can be done. When I try to run the code below, it fails with a "bus error" (on OS X) after printing "Entering item in vector". What am I doing wrong? Also, how can I grow this managed_mapped_file as I add things to the vector? I get runtime errors using the managed_mapped_file::grow() function. The code below should just fill up a vector with powers of 2, and print it. I am trying to understand the library before I implement it for something real. Code below: #include <boost/interprocess/file_mapping.hpp> #include <boost/interprocess/mapped_region.hpp> #include <boost/interprocess/containers/vector.hpp> #include <boost/interprocess/managed_mapped_file.hpp> #include <boost/interprocess/managed_shared_memory.hpp> #include <boost/interprocess/containers/vector.hpp> #include <boost/interprocess/allocators/allocator.hpp> #include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <cstring> #include <cstddef> #include <cstdio> #include <cmath> int main () { using namespace boost::interprocess; try{ std::cout << "Starting" << std::endl; managed_mapped_file mfile (open_or_create, "MyMappedFile", 65536); std::cout << "Mapped file" << std::endl; typedef allocator<int, managed_shared_memory::segment_manager> ShmemAllocator; typedef vector<int, ShmemAllocator> MyVector; const ShmemAllocator alloc_inst (mfile.get_segment_manager()); std::cout << "Making vector" << std::endl; MyVector* vec = mfile.construct<MyVector>("vec")(alloc_inst); std::cout << "Made vector" << std::endl; std::cout << "Filling vector" << std::endl; int i = 0; for(i = 0; i < 63; ++i) { std::cout << "Entering item in vector" << std::endl; vec->push_back(pow(2,i)); std::cout << "Entered item in vector" << std::endl; } std::cout << "Filled vector" << std::endl; std::cout << "Size of vec is:\t" << vec->size() << std::endl; std::cout << "Reverse printing contents of vector" << std::endl; for(i = vec->size()-1; i >= 0; --i) { std::cout << "At " << i << ":\t" << vec->at(i) << std::endl; } std::cout << "Printed contents of vector" << std::endl; } catch(interprocess_exception &ex){ std::remove("MyMappedFile"); std::cout << ex.what() << std::endl; return 1; } std::remove("MyMappedFile"); return 0; }
