[netlib] compilation issues with netlib 0.7
by Christian Henning 31 Oct '10

31 Oct '10

Hi there, when compiling basic tests of netlib 0.7 one has to include boost/thread.hpp. A small change is also needed in line of parse_uri.hpp[28] from #if SPIRIT_VERSION > 0x2030 to #if SPIRIT_VERSION >= 0x2030 I'm using Visual Studio 10 Express. Also the time it takes to compile a simple test is very high. I hope this will change with the upcoming 0.8 version. Thanks for making such lib happen. It will be a great addition to boost. Regards, Christian

Windows API callback, using boost::bind
by Lloyd 31 Oct '10

31 Oct '10

hi, We have a class and it has a member function. When this function is called, it calls a Windows API. One of the argument of the windows API is a callback function. Naturally this callback function has to be a *non member* function. Is there any way by which I can pass a *member* function in the place of callback function. I heard about boost::bind, with bind is it possible? Thanks, Lloyd ______________________________________ Scanned and protected by Email scanner

RFC: Spirit Porting
by Bryce Lelbach 31 Oct '10

31 Oct '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This is possibly better suited for the Spirit mailing list; however, I would like to get as broad an audience as possible here. Recently, I ported the Boost.Serialization XML grammar from Spirit Classic to Spirit Qi. It was a pretty straightforward port, but I did expect an increase in the compile-time complexity of building the grammar. My reasons for this line of thinking were as follows: * Spirit 2.x is fully attributed, while Spirit 1.x is not. This increases both the amount of data that we're dealing with (every parser/generator component must have an attribute), as well as adding additional compile-time checks and transformations which much be applied to that data. * To make Spirit fully attributed, Spirit 2.x uses frameworks that Spirit Classic did not use; Boost.Proto and Boost.Fusion (Fusion was created for Spirit 2.x, I believe), as well as a newer version of Boost.Phoenix. To my knowledge, this new XML grammar is the first Boost component to use Spirit 2.x (Wave uses Spirit Classic). I believe this means this is the first time that software using Spirit 2.x has been placed under the scrutiny of Boost testing. Certainly, Spirit 2.x and the underlying libraries it uses undergo rigorous testing, but in my mind, testing a library and testing software that uses said library are two very different processes. My question stems partially from the thoughts of Serialization's maintainer, Robery Ramey: "Basically, my view is that we cannot ship something that doesn't work at least as well as the previous version." My question for you: Can software that uses Spirit Classic be ported to Spirit 2.x and retain the same level of compiler/platform compatibility without significant refactoring of the fundamental structure of the Spirit components of the software? Please do note that I believe that there is room in the Serialization XML grammar for refactoring, and I certainly don't mean to imply that the authors of Spirit, Proto, Fusion or Phoenix are at fault here in any way. - -- Bryce Lelbach aka wash http://groups.google.com/group/ariel_devel -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkzJF3UACgkQO/fqqIuE2t7j2wCgumHhaOfOEOvmZ/090cm5o7+x f9QAoOhPvph24tlpCnuTrnUdtZ6BGD6/ =Dfkl -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[regex] perl compatibility
by Christian Henning 31 Oct '10

31 Oct '10

Hi there, I was under the expression that a regular expression which works with perl would also work with boost::regex. The following very simple test program doesn't work: if( boost::regex_match( "query", boost::regex( "q[u]" ))) { cout << "match" << endl; } else { cout << "no match" << endl; } whereas the perl equivalent works just fine: $text = "query"; if($text =~ m/q[u]/) { print "match!\n"; } else { print "no match\n"; } Meaning the perl code matches the regex inside $text and the boost::regex doesn't match. Can someone tell me what's wrong here with my thinking? And yes, I'm very new to regex overall. ;-) Thanks, Christian

Hi all, I am currently havong a problem with the Kolmogorov max flow usage in the BGL. The probelm is that at the end of the algorithm, some vertices are gray. What is there real status: do they belong to the tree or sink. None of both? Why? Hope you could help Regards, Olivier

warnings with VS2008 and Boost 1.44
by gast128 29 Oct '10

29 Oct '10

Dear all, we try to use Boost 1.44 with our applications and we got the follow warnings: -gamma.hpp(1053) : warning C4701 -token_functions.hpp(220) : warning C4127 -find_format_store.hpp(74) : warning C4100 We have here a 'treat warning as error' polciy, so in effect we may have to add an extra header for some libraries which disables the warning locally and then includes the Boost library header (thru the #pragma push / pop mechanism).

help using String Algorithms search and replace
by John Dlugosz 29 Oct '10

29 Oct '10

I need to (among other tasks) un-encode some substitutions in a string that use URL-encoding. That is, locate all occurrences of "%nn" and replace with the character whose ordinal is 0xnn. I looked at boost/algorithm/string.hpp, but the instructions are not at all clear. The tutorial/example is too simple, and the reference it points to for more info is quite unenlightening. Could someone show me how to do that, or point to an example that's more along those lines?

compile-time string literal manipulation?
by Stiles Watson 29 Oct '10

29 Oct '10

I'm a new to metaprogramming so please bare with the stupid questions: I have a requirement to convert string literals to a specified format at compile-time. In otherwords, given a literal like "3A689", I need to verify the value and, if not valid, generate a correct value such that: //pseudocode const char ch[] = verify<"3A689">::valid_value; would result in something like: const char ch[] = "03A689X"; Can I use Boost to write a template to do this? I know that is extremely vague, but does anyone have any thoughts? Thanks.

boost MPI please recommend a debugger for MPI
by Jack Bryan 29 Oct '10

29 Oct '10

Hi, Would you please recommend a debugger, which can do debugging for parallel processes on Open MPI systems ? I hope that it can be installed without root right because I am not a root user for ourMPI cluster. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Jack Oct. 28 2010
