(I will use it though, so thanks) I can't guarantee where the boost libraries are installed, that's why I use FindBoost. My current understanding is that boost don't have a specific default lib dir for different address models, which is the source of the problem as FindBoost script can't rely on a protocol to find these lib files. Am I correct? Joel Lamotte

can't get first example in boost tutorial to work

I'm trying to install boost on mac osx 10.4.7. I followed the tutorial "Getting Started on Unix Variants" found here: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/ more/getting_started/unix-variants.html Following the instructions in the tutorial, I installed boost in /usr/local as instructed, so my directory structure is: /usr/local/boost_1_34_1/boost But when I run the first example in the tutorial: #include <boost/lambda/lambda.hpp> #include <iostream> #include <iterator> #include <algorithm> int main() { using namespace boost::lambda; typedef std::istream_iterator<int> in; std::for_each(in(std::cin), in(), std::cout << (_1 * 3) << " " ); } I get the error(among others): error: boost/lambda/lambda.hpp: No such file or directory If I change the include path to: #include </user/local/boost_1_34_1/boost/lambda/lambda.hpp> I get the error(among others): error: boost/lambda/core.hpp: No such file or directory But core.hpp is in the lambda directory: /usr/local/boost_1_34_1/boost/lambda$ ls algorithm.hpp control_structures.hpp lambda.hpp bind.hpp core.hpp loops.hpp casts.hpp detail numeric.hpp closures.hpp exceptions.hpp switch.hpp construct.hpp if.hpp I'm using the Xcode 2.4 IDE to run my C++ programs. I also tried to execute the program from the command line with the original include path: #include <boost/lambda/lambda.hpp> but I get the same error: ~/2testing/dir1$ g++ prog1.cpp prog1.cpp:1:35: error: boost/lambda/lambda.hpp: No such file or directory prog1.cpp: In function 'int main()': prog1.cpp:8: error: 'boost' has not been declared prog1.cpp:8: error: expected namespace-name before ';' token prog1.cpp:8: error: '<type error>' is not a namespace prog1.cpp:11: error: '_1' was not declared in this scope I get the same errors again with the full include path: #include </user/local/boost_1_34_1/boost/lambda/lambda.hpp> $ g++ prog1.cpp In file included from prog1.cpp:1: /usr/local/boost_1_34_1/boost/lambda/lambda.hpp:14:33: error: boost/lambda/core.hpp: No such file or directory /usr/local/boost_1_34_1/boost/lambda/lambda.hpp:21:52: error: boost/lambda/detail/operator_actions.hpp: No such file or directory /usr/local/boost_1_34_1/boost/lambda/lambda.hpp:22:61: error: boost/lambda/detail/operator_lambda_func_base.hpp: No such file or directory /usr/local/boost_1_34_1/boost/lambda/lambda.hpp:23:63: error: boost/lambda/detail/operator_return_type_traits.hpp: No such file or directory /usr/local/boost_1_34_1/boost/lambda/lambda.hpp:26:45: error: boost/lambda/detail/operators.hpp: No such file or directory /usr/local/boost_1_34_1/boost/lambda/lambda.hpp:30:46: error: boost/lambda/detail/member_ptr.hpp: No such file or directory prog1.cpp: In function 'int main()': prog1.cpp:8: error: 'boost' has not been declared prog1.cpp:8: error: expected namespace-name before ';' token prog1.cpp:8: error: '<type error>' is not a namespace prog1.cpp:11: error: '_1' was not declared in this scope What path should I be using? Or, should I set an environment variable somewhere?

[Program Options] terminate parsing after first positional argument
by Stuart Pook 22 Jan '13

22 Jan '13

Hello, How can I tell Boost Program Options to stop parsing the arguments as soon as it finds a positional argument? I'd like to be able to parse the argument list "-v chmod -R -v 600 foo" as having one argument for my program (-v) and the rest as a std::vector of std::string (including the -v). In the attached program I have tried 2 different approaches. The first uses multitoken with the arguments "--command date -u -v", it fails because "-u" isn't known. The second uses collect_unrecognized with "chmod -R -v 600", it doesn't work because -v is interpreted by boost and doesn't end up in the vector. As someone said back in 2005, perhaps I'm trying to write xargs: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.user/9529/focus=9641 I know that I can ask my users to write a.out -v -- chmod -R -v 600 foo but I don't want to do that. I want them to write "a.out -v chmod -R -v 600 foo". The first positional argument should should tell boost to stop processing. Another slightly different question. If I have a multitoken option that takes doubles how can I get it to accept negative values? If I give my program "--floats 1 8 -4 6" where --floats starts a multitoken option that accepts double, I get an exception saying that "-4" is an unknown option. thanks Stuart This is what my test program gives me with boost 1.50: argv: dd --command date -u -v unrecognised option '-u' Allowed options: -v [ --verbose ] verbose --command arg command to run 2nd try argv: dd chmod -R -v 600 I'm verbose v: chmod -R 600 3rd try argv: dd --floats 1 8 -4 6 unrecognised option '-4' Allowed options: -v [ --verbose ] verbose -f [ --floats ] arg numbers and my program (formatted to fit in 80 characters) #include <boost/program_options.hpp> #include <boost/range/algorithm.hpp> #include <boost/program_options/parsers.hpp> #include <boost/program_options/options_description.hpp> #include <iostream> namespace po = boost::program_options; #define nelements(a) (sizeof (a) / sizeof (a)[0]) void print(char const * * b, char const * * e) { std::cout << "argv: "; std::copy(b, e, std::ostream_iterator<char const *>(std::cout, " ")); std::cout << std::endl; } int main(int argc, char ** argv) { { bool verbose; std::vector<std::string> command; po::options_description desc("Allowed options"); desc.add_options() ("verbose,v", po::bool_switch(&verbose)->default_value(false), "verbose") ("command", po::value<std::vector<std::string> >(&command) ->multitoken(), "command to run") ; char const * args[] = { "dd", "--command", "date", "-u", "-v", 0 }; print(args, args + nelements(args) - 1); po::variables_map vm; try { po::store(po::command_line_parser(nelements(args) - 1, args) .options(desc).run(), vm); po::notify(vm); if (verbose) std::cout << "I'm verbose\n"; std::cout << "command: "; boost::copy(command, std::ostream_iterator<std::string>(std::cout, " ")); std::cout << std::endl; } catch (boost::program_options::unknown_option & x) { std::cerr << x.what() << "\n" << desc << "\n"; } } std::cout << "2nd try\n"; { bool verbose; po::options_description desc("Allowed options"); desc.add_options() ("verbose,v", po::bool_switch(&verbose)->default_value(false), "verbose") ; char const * args[] = { "dd", "chmod", "-R", "-v", "600", 0 }; print(args, args + nelements(args) - 1); po::variables_map vm; po::parsed_options parsed = po::command_line_parser(nelements(args) - 1, args). options(desc).allow_unregistered().run(); try { po::store(parsed, vm); } catch (boost::program_options::unknown_option & x) { std::cerr << x.what() << "\n" << desc << "\n"; exit(2); } po::notify(vm); if (verbose) std::cout << "I'm verbose\n"; std::cout << "v: "; std::vector<std::string> v = po::collect_unrecognized( parsed.options, po::include_positional); boost::copy(v, std::ostream_iterator<std::string>(std::cout, " ")); std::cout << std::endl; } std::cout << "3rd try\n"; { bool verbose; std::vector<double> f; po::options_description all("Allowed options"); all.add_options() ("verbose,v", po::bool_switch(&verbose)->default_value(false), "verbose") ("floats,f", po::value<std::vector<double> >(&f)->multitoken(), "numbers") ; char const * args[] = { "dd", "--floats", "1", "8", "-4", "6", 0 }; print(args, args + nelements(args) - 1); po::variables_map vm; try { po::store(po::command_line_parser(nelements(args) - 1, args) .options(all).run(), vm); po::notify(vm); if (verbose) std::cout << "I'm verbose\n"; std::cout << "floats: "; boost::copy(f, std::ostream_iterator<double>(std::cout, " ")); std::cout << std::endl; } catch (boost::program_options::unknown_option & x) { std::cerr << x.what() << "\n" << all << "\n"; } } }

Further Boost.MPI development
by Matthias Troyer 15 Nov '12

15 Nov '12

Dear Boost.MPI users, With the MPI-3 standard having been finalized we want to intensify Boost.MPI development as soon as my crazy teaching schedule this fall gives me time from the middle of next month. With the deprecation of the - little used - official MPI C++ API in MPI-3 Boost.MPI has a chance of becoming a de facto standard C++ API for MPI. We first want to focus on features from MPI-2 and MPI-3 that are widely used or useful. For this purpose I would like to collect suggestions. Can you please reply and mention the functions of MPI that you would most like to see supported by Boost.MPI. Best regards Matthias

[Locale] MinGW + ICU + cross compiling = wchar errors?
by Jookia 13 Nov '12

13 Nov '12

Hello! I'm trying to compile Boost.Locale 1.51.0 with ICU 1.50 support in x86_64 MinGW-w64 4.7.2. So to start off, I have a structure of all my libs, includes and whatnot at /home/jookia/Programming/mingw64. I've built ICU using this command and installed it: CXXFLAGS=-fpermissive ../configure --prefix=/home/jookia/Programming/mingw64/ --host x86_64-w64-mingw32 --with-cross-build=/home/jookia/Programming/local/icu/source/build --enable-static --enable-shared --with-data-packaging=archive --with-library-bits=64 Building Boost uses this user-config: using gcc : 4.7 : x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ : <rc>x86_64-w64-mingw32-windres <archiver>x86_64-w64-mingw32-ar <compileflags>-I/home/jookia/Programming/mingw64/include/ <linkflags>-L/home/jookia/Programming/mingw64/lib/ ; and this command: bjam threadapi=win32 target-os=windows variant=release threading=multi link=shared runtime-link=shared --prefix=/home/jookia/Programming/mingw64 --user-config=user-config.jam --without-python --without-mpi --layout=tagged -sNO_BZIP=1 -sNO_ZLIB=1 install In order to try and build Boost.Locale I've patched its Jamfile to remove the shared libstdc++ stuff as MinGW doesn't seem to support it, and also rename all of the searched-lib <name>s to their MSVC equivalents so I can find those. The command it used to build is this (stuff omitted to save space): "x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++" "-Wl,--out-implib,bin.v2/libs/locale/build/.../libboost_locale-mt.dll.a" -o "bin.v2/libs/locale/build/.../libboost_locale-mt.dll" -Wl,-h -Wl,libboost_locale-mt.dll -shared -Wl,--start-group ... -Wl,-Bstatic -Wl,-Bdynamic -licuuc -licuin -licudt -liconv -Wl,--end-group -L/home/jookia/Programming/mingw64/lib/ -mthreads Compiling works fine up until linking, where it gives a few errors like this (paths and mangled names omitted to save sapce): bin.v2/.../formatter.o:formatter.cpp:(... undefined reference to `icu_50::UnicodeString::UnicodeString(wchar_t const*, int)' Is there any solution to this or is this something to do with MinGW's lack of support for wchars? Thanks, Jookia.

Linking problems with boost serialization and MinGW
by Florian Burkart 05 Nov '12

05 Nov '12

Hi, I am having a bit of trouble linking to boost serialization with MinGW. If I don't include -lboost_serialization-mgw46-mt-d-1_50 I get loads of undefined references, however, if I do include it, most disappear but I still get some, namely I get RDebug/libFlamLib.a(Common_Collector.o): In function `ZN5boost7archive21basic_text_oprimitiveISoE4saveINS0_14object_id_typeEEEvRKT_': /Sys/boost/MinGW32/boost_1_50_0/include/boost-1_50/boost/archive/basic_text_oprimitive.hpp:89: undefined reference to `boost::archive::archive_exception::archive_exception(boost::archive::archive_exception::exception_code, char const*, char const*)' RDebug/libFlamLib.a(Common_Collector.o): In function `ZN5boost7archive21basic_text_oprimitiveISoE4saveINS0_21object_reference_typeEEEvRKT_': /Sys/boost/MinGW32/boost_1_50_0/include/boost-1_50/boost/archive/basic_text_oprimitive.hpp:89: undefined reference to `boost::archive::archive_exception::archive_exception(boost::archive::archive_exception::exception_code, char const*, char const*)' RDebug/libFlamLib.a(Common_Collector.o): In function `ZN5boost7archive21basic_text_oprimitiveISoE4saveINS0_13class_id_typeEEEvRKT_': /Sys/boost/MinGW32/boost_1_50_0/include/boost-1_50/boost/archive/basic_text_oprimitive.hpp:89: undefined reference to `boost::archive::archive_exception::archive_exception(boost::archive::archive_exception::exception_code, char const*, char const*)' RDebug/libFlamLib.a(Common_Collector.o): In function `ZN5boost7archive21basic_text_oprimitiveISoE4saveINS0_23class_id_reference_typeEEEvRKT_': /Sys/boost/MinGW32/boost_1_50_0/include/boost-1_50/boost/archive/basic_text_oprimitive.hpp:89: undefined reference to `boost::archive::archive_exception::archive_exception(boost::archive::archive_exception::exception_code, char const*, char const*)' RDebug/libFlamLib.a(Common_Collector.o): In function `ZN5boost7archive21basic_text_oprimitiveISoE4saveINS0_13tracking_typeEEEvRKT_': /Sys/boost/MinGW32/boost_1_50_0/include/boost-1_50/boost/archive/basic_text_oprimitive.hpp:89: undefined reference to `boost::archive::archive_exception::archive_exception(boost::archive::archive_exception::exception_code, char const*, char const*)' RDebug/libFlamLib.a(Common_Collector.o):/Sys/boost/MinGW32/boost_1_50_0/include/boost-1_50/boost/archive/basic_text_oprimitive.hpp:89: more undefined references to `boost::archive::archive_exception::archive_exception(boost::archive::archive_exception::exception_code, char const*, char const*)' follow Basically they all refer to "`boost::archive::archive_exception::archive_exception". boost serialization built fine with .\b2.exe --prefix=c:\Sys\boost\MinGW32\boost_1_50_0 toolset=gcc address-model=32 --with-serialization install The same code compiles and links just fine with gcc on linux and MSVC on windows. I haven't isolate the issue yet, so am afraid can't give a reproducible sample, but any ideas so far? Maybe look familiar? Thanks, Florian

[Filesystem] Reverse traversal of boost::filesystem::path::const_iterator?
by Nat Linden 02 Nov '12

02 Nov '12

I've stumbled across some code in our code base that wants to walk up a fixed number of containing parent directories from the starting path. (It's in a Mac application bundle nested within another.) boost::filesystem::path::[const_]iterator is described as bidirectional. But boost::filesystem::path has no rbegin() or rend(). In libs/filesystem/test/path_test.cpp's iterator_tests(), I see, for a path variable named itr_ck, use of boost::prior(itr_ck.end()). That suggests that usage of this form would be legal: path mypath = /* ...something... */; for (path::const_iterator rcomp(mypath.end()), rend(mypath.begin()); rcomp != rend; --rcomp) { // ... use boost::prior(rcomp) ... } Am I correct? Given the way some containers implement end(), I always feel nervous about decrementing end(). I'm happy to see that Boost.Filesystem's own tests guarantee that usage; but is there anything in the documentation that would have assured me of that?

Hi This question pertains to boost::heap::skew_heap as defined here:- http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_51_0/doc/html/boost/heap/skew_heap.html Can you please help me understand what is the complexity of skew heap traversal using ordered_iterator. I am traversing over the heap, using ordered_iterator as shown in code below :- for(bk_heap::ordered_iterator it=buy_heap->ordered_begin();it!=buy_heap->ordered_end();it++) { /// some code here... } I suspect it to be O(n), but just want to make sure.
