[Thread] Win32 TLS problem with dynamic libraries
by Сергей Захарченко 29 Oct '12

29 Oct '12

Hello, I need to build a shared plugin library with Boost libraries linked statically into it. As many may know, there's a problem with having a .tls section in Win32 dynamic libraries which are to be loaded via LoadLibrary, but Boost.Thread insists on having one. Assuming that I can guarantee that no Boost.Thread functions are called from non-Boost.Thread threads, it shouldn't be needed. Apart from patching the Boost.Thread sources, or the resulting binaries, what's the best way of eliminating it? I assume that I need to eliminate tss_pe.cpp from linkage, but I don't seem to be able to. Adding a namespace boost { void tss_cleanup_implemented() {} } to one of the library's sources doesn't help, as it results in a multiply defined symbol error (compiler MSVC2008 from Express edition). Any suggestions? Thank you, -- Sergey Zakharchenko

Boost installation inquiry
by mega deth 29 Oct '12

29 Oct '12

Hello Boost User Community, I am a big fan of boost C++ having used it for a college class to do threading. I want to get back into it and I previously installed boost on a windows machine, now dealing with a Linux machine would like some help as I have run into difficulties with the installation process. First off, I would like to build threads and regex libraries. I have gotten the first example show below to work correctly: #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) << " " ); } My main issue is the next part. I have Boost is located in /usr/local/boost_1_51_0 I have run the following steps: 1. Go to the directory tools/build/v2/. 2. Run bootstrap.sh 3. Run b2 install --prefix=PREFIX where PREFIX is the directory where you want Boost.Build to be installed 4. Add PREFIX/bin to your PATH environment variable. For the 3rd step, I ran b2 as follows: b2 --build-dir=~/bin/Boos tC++1.51/ toolset=gcc stage My PATH looks like this: > echo $PATH /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/root/bin :/root/bin/BoostC++1.51/bin/ g++ I- /root/boost/ /root/bin/repos/c-projects/c++/C++Projects/Boost/testLinkToBoostLib.cpp -o example \ > ~/boost/stage/lib/libboost_ libboost_chrono.a libboost_regex.a libboost_chrono.so libboost_regex.so libboost_chrono.so.1.51.0 libboost_regex.so.1.51.0 libboost_filesystem.a libboost_system.a libboost_filesystem.so libboost_system.so libboost_filesystem.so.1.51.0 libboost_system.so.1.51.0 libboost_program_options.a libboost_thread.a libboost_program_options.so libboost_thread.so libboost_program_options.so.1.51.0 libboost_thread.so.1.51.0 Finally this is my issue: When I try to compile the test regex code with boost, I am unable to find the correct library to include. I fear that because I have this issue, that my thread library is not built as well. Is there a way to check? Can you provide what worked for you to install boost on your linux machine. c++ -I path/to/boost_1_51_0 example.cpp -o example \ ~/boost/stage/lib/libboost_regex-gcc34-mt-d-1_36.a I am unable to find or even create this: libboost_regex-gcc34-mt-d-1_36.a If you have any advise or direction please let me know. Thank you! There was some talk about checking the configuration of the user-config.jam if there are linker or compile issues. But I do not think those could be the issues at the moment. Thank you in advance for looking at my issue! ~Jake

Boost random not looking so random
by Robin Rowe 28 Oct '12

28 Oct '12

I'm using boost to shuffle an array, but it's not looking as random as I would expect. Am I not using it right? The code below outputs sequences that look random mostly, but I see patterns such as 7 7 12 12 11. boost::random::mt19937 rng; boost::minstd_rand lcggen; lcggen.seed(clockTime); rng.seed(lcggen); unsigned min=1; unsigned max=15; for(unsigned i=0;i<5;i++) { boost::random::uniform_int_distribution<> dist(min,max); const int j = dist(rng); ... code that shuffles stuff using j ... min++; cout<<j<<' '; } Suggestions? Thanks! Robin -- www.cinepaint.org

use boost preprocessor to generate T1 t1, T2 t2 ...

hi there, I would like to use boost preprocessor to generate something like this: (for n from 0 to N with n = 2 in the following example) template <typename T1, typename T2> void foo(T1 t1, T2 t2) I have tried to use BOOST_PP_ENUM_PARAMS but cannot figure out how to get both T_i and t_i changed each time. is there some other macros I can use? any help is highly appreciated. Thanks, -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/use-boost-preprocessor-to-generate-T1-t1… Sent from the Boost - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [Boost-users] [boost] Fwd: Re: [system] symbol visibility and GCC vs. Clang
by Michel Morin 26 Oct '12

Fixed in r81068. Since dllexport/dllimport are not fully supported on clang (see http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=11170 ), I didn't add the macros (BOOST_SYMBOL_EXPORT/BOOST_SYMBOL_IMPORT) for the Windows platform. Regards, Michel

[unique_ptr] How should I assign unique_ptr returned from a factory function, possibly using boost::move, in C++03
by Adam Romanek 26 Oct '12

26 Oct '12

Hi, the question is: how should I assign boost::interprocess::unique_ptr returned from a factory function, possibly using boost::move, in C++03? Here's an example: --- #include <boost/interprocess/smart_ptr/unique_ptr.hpp> using namespace boost::interprocess; class my_class { public: my_class() {} }; struct my_class_deleter { void operator()(my_class *p) {} }; typedef unique_ptr<my_class, my_class_deleter> uptr; uptr create() { return uptr(); } int main() { uptr x; x = create(); // return 0; } --- The problem is that gcc fails to compile the above code saying: main.cpp:22: error: ambiguous overload for ‘operator=’ in ‘x = create()()’ ../../boost_latest/boost/interprocess/smart_ptr/unique_ptr.hpp:211: note: candidates are: boost::interprocess::unique_ptr<T, D>& boost::interprocess::unique_ptr<T, D>::operator=(boost::rv<boost::interprocess::unique_ptr<T, D> >&) [with T = my_class, D = my_class_deleter] ../../boost_latest/boost/interprocess/smart_ptr/unique_ptr.hpp:249: note: boost::interprocess::unique_ptr<T, D>& boost::interprocess::unique_ptr<T, D>::operator=(int boost::interprocess::unique_ptr<T, D>::nat::*) [with T = my_class, D = my_class_deleter] I use gcc v4.4.3 and Boost v1.51.0. BTW: I posted the same question on StackOverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13086428/how-should-i-assign-boostinterp…

How can I make the libboost_regex.a static library?
by Scott Johnson 26 Oct '12

26 Oct '12

Transitioning an application from CentOS 5 to CentOS 6 and I noticed that neither the boost-devel nor boost-static rpms contain the libboost_regex.a static library. The boost-static rpm has most of the static libs but not that one. The CentOS 5 boost-devel package had the static library. I know dynamic libraries are encouraged but I still need the static lib. I grabbed the boost src rpm. I guess I need to build a custom version of the static rpm, but not sure yet which Makefile or where to make a change to get the libboost_regex.a. Thanks for any help.
