shared_ptr problem
by Tim Burgess 26 Jul '13

26 Jul '13

Hi, I'm developing an application for Windows and Mac. My source compiles and links fine, but I'm having a problem when building the code on the Mac (OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion, Xcode 4.6 using GCC). The contents of the Issue Navigator are shown below: SurfaceReader Group /Users/tim/developer/libraries/boost_1_54_0/boost/smart_ptr/make_shared_obje ct.hpp /Users/tim/developer/libraries/boost_1_54_0/boost/smart_ptr/make_shared_obje ct.hpp:711: error: no matching function for call to 'AppConfig::AppConfig(const boost::shared_ptr<AppConfig>&)' /Users/tim/developer/libraries/boost_1_54_0/boost/smart_ptr/make_shared_obje ct.hpp:711: error: no matching function for call to 'SurfaceProtocol::SurfaceProtocol(const boost::shared_ptr<SurfaceProtocol>&)' /Users/tim/developer/libraries/boost_1_54_0/boost/smart_ptr/make_shared_obje ct.hpp:711: error: no matching function for call to 'RBSpeech::RBSpeech(const boost::shared_ptr<RBSpeech>&)' I'm using shared_ptr in about half the modules in my application and, given that the above output doesn't refer to compilation errors in particular modules of mine, I'm confused as to how to track this issue down. Obviously, the issue has something to do with the constructors for my AppConfig, SurfaceProtocol and RBSpeech classes, but these don't cause any problems under Windows/VS2010 and only the RBSpeech class has any Mac-specific code blocks. Can anybody advise me how to proceed, please? Best wishes. Tim Burgess Raised Bar Ltd. T: 01827 719822 M: 07989 486976 W: http://www.raisedbar.net

[iostreams] Some basic questions about filtering_stream
by Stephen Greenfield 25 Jul '13

25 Jul '13

Some basic questions about Boost filtering_streams. I have dozens of functions that presently take a parameter of std::ofstream&. For example: void foo(std::ofstream& outStream) { // lots of operations, like this: outStream << "various bits of text"; } Which then get used as thus: void StreamSomeTextToFile(char* fileName) { ofstream myFileStream(fileName, ios::out | ios::app | ios::binary); foo(myFileStream); myFileStream.close(); } Now I'd like to use the boost filtering_stream to output to a compressed ZIP file. I've compiled, linked and run the commonly cited boost filtering_stream test code for packing and unpacking and it worked perfectly for me. Now I'd like to try to substitute my use of std::ofstream& with the filtering_stream: void StreamSomeCompressedTextToFile(char* fileName) { ofstream myFileStream(destPath, std::ios_base::out | std::ios_base::app | std::ios_base::binary); boost::iostreams::filtering_streambuf<boost::iostreams::output> myCompressedFileStream; myCompressedFileStream.push(boost::iostreams::zlib_compressor()); myCompressedFileStream.push(myFileStream); foo(myCompressedFileStream); // I can't just pass myCompressedFileStream to foo(std::ofstream&), right? myFileStream.close(); } THREE QUESTIONS: 1) Do all my functions that previously accepted std::ofstream& outStream need to now accept a parameter of type boost::iostreams::filtering_streambuf<boost::iostreams::output>& ? Or, is there a proper parameter type so those numerous ("foo") functions could work with EITHER type of stream type? 2) In my simple test cases, I was not able to use stream operator syntax with the filtering_streambuf: myCompressedFileStream << "some text"; this generated the the error: no match for 'operator<<'. I similarly had compile errors with write(): `error: 'class boost::iostreams::filtering_streambuf<boost::iostreams::output, char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char>, boost::iostreams::public_>' has no member named 'write`' Could this be a missing header? If so, I haven't been able to determine which one. 3) In the common test case example code (below), I was confused that I could not locate the file "hello.z" after it had been created. The unpack code (also below) executed correctly and clearly references the created file -- so where can it be found? void pack() { std::ofstream file("hello.z", std::ios_base::out | std::ios_base::binary); boost::iostreams::filtering_streambuf<boost::iostreams::output> out; out.push(boost::iostreams::zlib_compressor()); out.push(file); char data[5] = {'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'}; boost::iostreams::copy(boost::iostreams::basic_array_source<char>(data, sizeof(data)), out); file.close(); } void unpack() { std::fstream file("hello.z", std::ios_base::in | std::ios_base::binary); boost::iostreams::filtering_streambuf<boost::iostreams::input> in; in.push(boost::iostreams::zlib_decompressor()); in.push(file); boost::iostreams::copy(in, std::cout); } My code is being developed on XCode 3.2.6, GNU 4.0, Mac OS X 10.6.8

Problems compiling on Windows......
by Marcus MacWilliam 24 Jul '13

24 Jul '13

Hello, I am a boost newbie, and this is my first post :-) I am inserting boost into my application using pre-compiled headers on Windows. The pre-compiled header looks like this: #ifndef PRECOMPILEDHEADERS_WINRT_SRC_MAIN_INCLUDE_PRE_COMPILED_H_ #define PRECOMPILEDHEADERS_WINRT_SRC_MAIN_INCLUDE_PRE_COMPILED_H_ // Standard integer types #include <stdint.h> // Includes for d2d libraries #include <wrl.h> #include <d3d11_1.h> #include <d2d1_1.h> #include <d2d1effects.h> #include <d2d1_1helper.h> #include <dwrite_1.h> #include <wincodec.h> #include <math.h> #include <agile.h> // Includes for STL types #include <string> #include <vector> #include <set> #include <map> #include <memory> #include <exception> #include <collection.h> // Includes for Windows error #include <winerror.h> // Includes for Boost libraries #include "boost/exception/all.hpp" #include "boost/optional.hpp" #include "boost/variant.hpp" #include "boost/exception_ptr.hpp" #include "boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time_types.hpp" #include "boost/archive/text_oarchive.hpp" #include "boost/archive/text_iarchive.hpp" #include "boost/serialization/access.hpp" #include "boost/serialization/vector.hpp" #include "boost/serialization/string.hpp" // Includes for devices communications #include "boost/interprocess/sync/named_mutex.hpp" #include "boost/interprocess/sync/scoped_lock.hpp" #include "boost/archive/binary_oarchive.hpp" #include "boost/archive/binary_iarchive.hpp" #endif // PRECOMPILEDHEADERS_WINRT_SRC_MAIN_INCLUDE_PRE_COMPILED_H_ However when I attempt to compile this through maven, using the maven-nar-plugin, on a Windows 8 machine, I get the following error: [INFO] --- maven-nar-plugin:2.25:nar-compile (default-nar-compile) @ precompiledheaders-winrt --- [INFO] Compiling 1 native files [INFO] Looking for WinRT dependencies [ERROR] C:\Users\marcusma\Source\1edit-prism\precompiledheaders\winrt\external-sources\boost/interprocess/detail/os_file _functions.hpp(94) : error C2039: 'getenv' : is not a member of 'std' [ERROR] C:\Users\marcusma\Source\1edit-prism\precompiledheaders\winrt\external-sources\boost/interprocess/detail/os_file _functions.hpp(94) : error C3861: 'getenv': identifier not found This appears to be correct, getenv according to the MSDN documentation is not available when compiling code for WinRT, using Visual Studio 12, on a Windows 8 machine. I understood that boost was supposed to be multi-platform, so why is std::getenv being used, which is not available for Windows? Can someone suggest what I need to do to get my pre-compiled headers to compile. Cheers, -- Marcus A.T MacWilliam, Senior Software Engineer. 1Spatial Ltd.

Boost for Windows
by Haroogan 24 Jul '13

24 Jul '13

Hello fellows, Boost for Windows <https://bitbucket.org/Haroogan/boost-for-windows> has just been updated. It features the latest Boost (1.54.0) binaries for the latest MinGW-w64 (4.8.1). Note that SJLJ variants are not present as they seem to lose popularity these days. Nevertheless, if someone urgently needs SJLJ builds, just let me know. Finally, the guide on building Boost was updated too. Kind regards, Haroogan

Persistent graphs with boost::graph
by Maurizio Vitale 24 Jul '13

24 Jul '13

Hello boost-users, is anybody aware of a library for building persistent graphs (graphs that allow access to a certain number of previous versions of the graph) on top of boost::graph? I don't really need access to versions after every modification, but rather I consider a new version as obtained by a set of modifications that are committed as a vlock, database style. I'm interested in large graphs, so memory sharing across versions is critical. Changes between versions are minimal (few nodes/edges in graphs with O(1M) nodes each with very few edges) Thanks, Maurizio

regex icu library (thread safety)
by PingShan Li 24 Jul '13

24 Jul '13

I need to build boost regex library with ICU support. I followed instruction in: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/libs/regex/doc/html/boost_regex/instal… First I downloaded ICU library and compiled it without any problem. Then I ran the following command: cd /opt/third_party_libraries/boost_1_46_1/libs/regex/build/ (Boost source code is in "/opt/third_party_libraries/boost_1_46_1") [root@pli-dc-build build]# /opt/third_party_libraries/boost_1_46_1/bjam include=/usr/local/ --toolset=gcc install Performing configuration checks - has_icu builds : yes ...patience... ... ... gcc.compile.c++ ../../../bin.v2/libs/regex/build/gcc-3.4.6/debug/usinstances.o gcc.link.dll ../../../bin.v2/libs/regex/build/gcc-3.4.6/debug/libboost_regex.so.1.46.1 common.copy /opt/third_party_libraries/boost_1_46_1/lib/libboost_regex.so.1.46.1 ln-UNIX /opt/third_party_libraries/boost_1_46_1/lib/libboost_regex.so ln-UNIX /opt/third_party_libraries/boost_1_46_1/lib/libboost_regex.so.1 ln-UNIX /opt/third_party_libraries/boost_1_46_1/lib/libboost_regex.so.1.46 ...updated 22 targets... The build process is successful and I can find the library in "/opt/third_party_libraries/boost_1_46_1/lib/libboost_regex.so.1.46.1". The question is: does this library support multiple threads? I did some research on this topic, it seems like even though the name does not contain "mt", it is actually thread safe. Or do I have to pass extra parameter to generate thread safe version? The normal boost build process generates regex library with name like: libboost_regex-gcc34-mt-1_46_1.so.1.46.1 (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html) From the name, I know if the library supports multiple threads.
