boost.python installation problems
by Christos Nicolaou 05 Jul '02

05 Jul '02

Hey Seems that I've run into a pretty common problem people have when they try to install Boost.Python: I get those error messages saying that Python.h and patchlevel.h Details: - NT system, installed mingw-2.95.2 (exe in my path), boost_1_28_0. - within f:\boost_1_28_0 directory I type: bjam -sBOOST_ROOT=. -sTOOLS="gcc" -sPYTHON_ROOT=c:\python21 - I get the missing header files errors. Lots of them. Any clues? There seem to be postings about this problem but I couldn't find a solution. Thanks in advance Christos

Python boost inheritance documentation error
by J.Flenter 05 Jul '02

05 Jul '02

Hello, This is my first post here, but I found some code that generated an error using Visual Studio 6.0 (with Service Pack 5): The documentation (url: http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/inheritance.html) said: [snip] base_class.def(python::constructor<void>()); [snip] when I use void at that location the compiler generates an error (although it does work without specifying the keyword void). The error is: c:\BOOST\boost/python/detail/init_function.hpp(319) : error C2440: 'type cast' : cannot convert from 'void' to 'class boost::python::detail::reference_parameter<void>' Expressions of type void cannot be converted to other types c:\BOOST\boost/python/detail/init_function.hpp(314) : while compiling class-template member function 'class boost::python::detail::instance_holder_base *__thiscall boost::python::detail::init1<class boost::python::detail::instance_value_hold I do use a different class (included as a zip file), but in this case I don't think that will generate the compiler error. I hope this makes it clear... Jacco Flenter begin 666 sourceFiles.zip M4$L#!

don't forget to make "bool dismissed_" mutable, so that dismiss() can change it for "typedef const scoped_guard_impl& scoped_guard" Regards, yefeng --- In Boost-Users@y..., Jon Wang <webmaster@b...> wrote: > > >This solution won't work, because you are storing a reference to a > >temporary object, which will cease to exist after the constructor call. > >Then the destructor is accessing memory that has already been destructed > >and probably reused. > > Sorry!

Sorry! A silly mistake here:-) Well, what I meant is typedef const scoped_guard_impl& scoped_guard; // not "typedef scoped_guard_impl& scoped_guard;" Then "a const reference initialized with a temporary value makes that temporary value live for the lifetime of the reference itself". Is this fine? Jon

This solution won't work, because you are storing a reference to a temporary object, which will cease to exist after the constructor call. Then the destructor is accessing memory that has already been destructed and probably reused. Doug

ScopeGuard Implementation
by Jon Wang 03 Jul '02

03 Jul '02

Hi, Recently I've tried to implement Andrei's ScopeGuard (see http://www.cuj.com/experts/1812/alexandr.htm?topic=experts for details) with boost.function and boost.bind. Is there anything wrong with it? Thanks for reviewing. #include <boost/function.hpp> #include <boost/bind.hpp> #include <boost/utility.hpp> #define ON_BLOCK_EXIT(x) scoped_guard guard##__LINE__(::boost::bind##x) class scoped_guard: ::boost::noncopyable { private: typedef const ::boost::function<void> f_type; // reference might cause crash bool dismissed_; f_type f_; public: scoped_guard(f_type& v): f_(v), dismissed_(false) {} ~scoped_guard() throw() { if(!dismissed_) try {f_();} catch(...) {} } void dismiss() throw() { dismissed_ = true; } }; With the macro ON_BLOCK_EXIT, we can easily use it like this: // ... #include <stdio.h> int main() { FILE* fp = fopen("hello.txt", "r"); ON_BLOCK_EXIT((fclose, fp)); //scoped_guard guard(boost::bind(fclose, fp)); return 0; }　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Jon Wang babysloth(a)c-view.org 　　　　　　　　　　　　2002-07-03

regex with double byte character sets
by bthiesfield 03 Jul '02

03 Jul '02

Hi all, I am currently trying to use the boost regex library with Japanese language strings. It appears like DBCS is not supported. For example, using the following code (with compile definition of BOOST_REGEX_USE_C_LOCALE) I get the output strings as 0 = "。" 1 = "English" Instead of the expected: 0 = "やゆよわをー。" 1 = "English" This is due to the fact that the Japanese (SJIS encoding) for one of these characters uses the [ character as one of the characters in the encoding. setlocale( LC_COLLATE, "Japanese" ); setlocale( LC_CTYPE, "Japanese" ); char * pszText = "やゆよわをー。 [english]", char * pszRule ="([^\\[]*)\\[([[:word:]]*)\\]"; // split the string into it's components std::vector<std::string> vPart; boost::regex eParseExpr( pszRule, boost::regbase::normal | boost::regbase::icase ); boost::regex_split( std::back_inserter(vPart), std::string(pszText), eParseExpr ); Is there some what to modify the library to enable DBCS? For example, can the char_traits be modified to enable DBCS processing? (Keeping in mind that the biggest problem with DBCS is that a single character may consist of 2 bytes which tends to blow out all assumptions about the size of characters). Brodie.

Eric you are a life saver!!! I had the same problem, earlier version worked perfectly, the newest built fine but caused run time error. Did you find this solution with probing or do you have knowledge of something? Thank you for your help.
