I have filed a Ticket #5403 and applied a patch here some time ago: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/5403 Hope it works for you. -----Original Message----- Date: Fri, 24 Jun 2011 01:48:05 -0700 (PDT) From: Kiah08 <tonycaver2007(a)gmail.com> Subject: [Boost-users] Directory Iterator / Directory "access denied" exception Does anyone know of a way to handle exceptions when a directory is inaccessible? I would like to be able to resume the directory scan after the inaccessible directory. Please give an in depth example if possible. Using Boost 1.46.

GCC 4.6.0 rejects Boost Intrusive header
by Brian Wood 26 Jun '11

GCC 4.6.0 rejects the *Boost* intrusive header list.hpp. Here's the command line: g++ -std=c++0x -O2 -s -W -Wall -I /home/brian/boost_1_46_1 -c -o jaj.o jaj.cc and the output: In file included from jaj.cc:1:0: /home/brian/boost_1_46_1/*boost*/intrusive/list.hpp: In static member function =91static *boost*::intrusive::list_impl<Config>& *boost*::intrusive::list_impl<Config>::priv_container_from_end_iterator(const const_iterator&)=92: /home/brian/boost_1_46_1/*boost*/intrusive/list.hpp:1291:89: sorry, unimplemented: unexpected ast of kind field_decl /home/brian/boost_1_46_1/*boost*/intrusive/list.hpp:1291: confused by earlier errors, bailing out Preprocessed source stored into /tmp/ccRWz6ZT.out file, please attach this to your bugreport. The .cc file is one line -- an include of list.hpp. Here's the function that it is complaining about: private: static list_impl &priv_container_from_end_iterator(const const_iterator &end_iterator) { root_plus_size *r = detail::parent_from_member<root_plus_size, node> ( detail::boost_intrusive_get_pointer(end_iterator.pointed_node()), &root_plus_size::root_); data_t *d = detail::parent_from_member<data_t, root_plus_size> ( r, &data_t::root_plus_size_); list_impl *s = detail::parent_from_member<list_impl, data_t>(d, &list_impl::data_); return *s; } 1291 is the line that starts with "list_impl *s = " I'd like to be able to begin using GCC 4.6, but this is preventing me from doing so.

[Spirit] Problem while parsing a quoted string
by Sven Steckmann 25 Jun '11

25 Jun '11

Dear list, at the moment I am writing a grammar description in which I want to used quoted string. Up to now I hardcoded the quotes to '"', but now, I want to enable this rule working with a parameter. Maybe I am missing somethin, I hope one can give me good hint: This is the rule definition (for parsing QStrings, I took the code from the example): quotedQString %= lexeme[lit(_r1) >> +(char_ - lit(_r1)) >> lit(_r1)]; qi::rule quotedQString; I am uisng the quotedQString as follows: nextRule = quotedQString('"') [ anAction(_var,_1)]; This does not work as expected, if I parse a string looking like this "String" I always got the quotes included. My old version: quotedQString %= lexeme[lit('"') >> +(char_ - lit('"')) >> lit('"')]; works quite as expected and parses everything without quotes. Kind regards, Sven Steckmann --

[Review] The 'Type Traits Introspection' library Review starst next friday, july 1st
by Joel falcou 24 Jun '11

24 Jun '11

According to the schedule, review for the Type Traits Introspection library by Edward Diener will run from friday, July 1st to monday, july 10 2011. =========== What is it? =========== The TTI library, which is an abbreviation for the 'Type Traits Introspection' library, allows a programmer to introspect at compile time the inner elements of a C++ type. The introspection process depends on specifying the name of the inner element by different macros for different types of elements, and then using a generated metafunction to determine whether that element exists within the enclosing type. The inner elements which can be introspected are type, class template, member data, member function, static member data, and static member function. The TTI library is based on the type_traits_ext portion of the Concept Traits Library, with improvements and additions, and also reproduces functionality ( without changing existing code ), for the purposes of completeness, from Boost.MPL regarding introspection of types and templates. The purpose of the library is to provide a consistent set of interfaces for doing compile-time introspection of a type, which other template metaprogrammers can use in their code. If you are at all interested in compile-time introspection of types, please take a look at the functionality of this library. =================== Getting the library =================== The library is available at http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/tti/ Note that this repository will be updated up to next thursday by Edward. =================== Writing a Review =================== The reviews and all comments should be submitted to the developers list, and the email should have "[TTI] Review" at the beginning of the subject line to make sure it's not missed. Please explicitly state in your review whether the library should be accepted. The general review checklist: - What is your evaluation of the design? - What is your evaluation of the implementation? - What is your evaluation of the documentation? - What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library? - Did you try to use the library? With what compiler? Did you have any problems? - How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A quick reading? In-depth study? - Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain? And finally, every review should answer this question: - Do you think the library should be accepted as a Boost library? Be sure to say this explicitly so that your other comments don't obscure your overall opinion.

[Regex] Emulate awk
by Alessandro Candini 24 Jun '11

I have a string like the following: string myStr = "Monthly Ecosystem NPP = 0.360591 tDM/ha month"; How can I use boost regex to isolate 0.360591, as I would do in bash with a echo $myStr | awk '{ print $5 }' ?

Re: [Boost-users] [review][assign] Formal review of Assign v2 ongoing
by er 24 Jun '11

24 Jun '11

Copy from devel: > I am sure that it is a powerful library, but I really have no idea at all what is going on. I can't even parse the first line as valid C++ in any way. You need better examples, and also is that really the best way you could find to express repeating? If I try to imagine what the interface would look like after taking into account some of the suggestions that were made, this sentence: "Create data elements by mapping 1, 10, 100, 1000 by function f, and insert each result in cont by invoking modifier push_front." translates to ( push_front<1>( cont ) % ( _data = f ) % ( _repeat = n ) )( 1, 10, 100, 1000 ); Questions : - is it more readable, now? - What if each example was preceded by its English equivalent. Is this a bit of stretch or a reasonable approach? Thanks.

[Asio] Crash on service delete
by Indrek Sünter 24 Jun '11

24 Jun '11

Hi. I'm experiencing a crash when io_service destructor is called. The service was run on a separate thread and a socket was associated with it. The destruction sequence (on main thread, where the service was constructed) was as follows: // m_socket was associated with m_service m_socket->cancel(); m_socket->shutdown( boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket::shutdown_both, ec ); m_socket->close( ec ); delete m_socket; m_socket = NULL; // Delete work on the service delete m_work; m_work = NULL; // Stop the service m_service->stop(); // Join the thread this service was running on m_thread->interrupt(); m_thread->join(); delete m_thread; m_thread = NULL; // Crashes here delete m_service; m_service = NULL; Here's what VC10 reported: Access violation camc.exe!boost::asio::detail::socket_ops::send(unsigned int s, const _WSABUF * bufs, unsigned int count, int flags, boost::system::error_code & ec) Line 876 + 0x24 bytes C++ camc.exe!boost::asio::detail::socket_select_interrupter::interrupt() Line 127 + 0x18 bytes C++ camc.exe!boost::asio::detail::select_reactor::shutdown_service() Line 73 C++ camc.exe!boost::asio::detail::service_registry::~service_registry() Line 42 + 0xf bytes C++ camc.exe!boost::asio::detail::service_registry::`scalar deleting destructor'() + 0x16 bytes C++ camc.exe!boost::asio::io_service::~io_service() Line 51 + 0x1f bytes C++ camc.exe!boost::asio::io_service::`scalar deleting destructor'() + 0x16 bytes C++ Code crashes on Windows 7 (64bit, boost 1.46.1) and works on Ubuntu 11.04 (64bit, boost 1.42.0). Any ideas on what I'm missing? Thanks
