program_options, parse_config_file problems
by Andrew E Slaughter 26 Apr '12

26 Apr '12

Hello, I am attempting to parse configuration options from a file using Boost::program_options. I am following the example provided on the website (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_49_0/doc/html/program_options/overview.html…) variables_map vm; store(parse_command_line(argc, argv, desc), vm); store(parse_config_file("example.cfg", desc), vm); notify(vm); I have included the following related to program_options: #include <boost/program_options.hpp> // Boost Program Options #include <boost/program_options/positional_options.hpp> #include <boost/program_options/parsers.hpp> I have the exact code as above in my program but receive the following error. The program works fine if I comment out the line with the parse_config_file line. Can someone please help me get this working. Thanks, Andrew --- COMPILER ERROR -------------------------- /home/slaughter/Documents/programs/source/common/user_options/user_options.cpp: In member function ‘void SlaughterCommon::User_options::apply_options(int, char**)’: /home/slaughter/Documents/programs/source/common/user_options/user_options.cpp:27:76: error: no matching function for call to ‘parse_config_file(const char [22], boost::program_options::options_description&, bool)’ /home/slaughter/Documents/programs/source/common/user_options/user_options.cpp:27:76: note: candidates are: /usr/include/boost/program_options/parsers.hpp:163:5: note: template<class charT> boost::program_options::basic_parsed_options<charT> boost::program_options::parse_config_file(std::basic_istream<charT>&, const boost::program_options::options_description&, bool) /usr/include/boost/program_options/parsers.hpp:176:5: note: template<class charT> boost::program_options::basic_parsed_options<charT> boost::program_options::parse_config_file(const char*, const boost::program_options::options_description&, bool) make[3]: *** [source/common/CMakeFiles/common.dir/user_options/user_options.cpp.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** [source/common/CMakeFiles/common.dir/all] Error 2 make[1]: *** [source/common/CMakeFiles/test_user_options.dir/rule] Error 2 make: *** [test_user_options] Error 2

[Random] Noob question: Random number generators inside function
by Błażej Jaworowski 25 Apr '12

25 Apr '12

I have a Monte Carlo simulation program (Ising model) in which I wanted to use Boost.Random number generators instead of one from *Numerical Recipes. *It works when the generator is called only in main, but when I use it inside function, I have "identifier not found". I don't want to initialize them each time I call a function because this will repeat the sequences of random number. Is there a way to overcome it? I don't know much about typedefs and templates, so my initialization of the generator is just copied from some tutorial and changed in, I hope, appropriate places. Here is the example code (I wouldn't paste original program, it's too long, but here is the same problem) // random_test.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application. // #include "stdafx.h" #include "iostream" #include <ctime> #include <boost/random.hpp> using namespace std; namespace boost { namespace random { template<typename UIntType, int w, unsigned int p, unsigned int q> class lagged_fibonacci_engine; template<typename RealType, int w, unsigned int p, unsigned int q> class lagged_fibonacci_01_engine; typedef lagged_fibonacci_01_engine< double, 48, 607, 273 > lagged_fibonacci607; typedef lagged_fibonacci_01_engine< double, 48, 1279, 418 > lagged_fibonacci1279; typedef lagged_fibonacci_01_engine< double, 48, 2281, 1252 > lagged_fibonacci2281; typedef lagged_fibonacci_01_engine< double, 48, 3217, 576 > lagged_fibonacci3217; typedef lagged_fibonacci_01_engine< double, 48, 4423, 2098 > lagged_fibonacci4423; typedef lagged_fibonacci_01_engine< double, 48, 9689, 5502 > lagged_fibonacci9689; typedef lagged_fibonacci_01_engine< double, 48, 19937, 9842 > lagged_fibonacci19937; typedef lagged_fibonacci_01_engine< double, 48, 23209, 13470 > lagged_fibonacci23209; typedef lagged_fibonacci_01_engine< double, 48, 44497, 21034 > lagged_fibonacci44497; } } void generate(); int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) {const int rangeMin = 1; const int rangeMax = 10; typedef boost::uniform_real<> NumberDistribution; typedef boost::random::lagged_fibonacci9689 RandomNumberGenerator; typedef boost::variate_generator<RandomNumberGenerator&, NumberDistribution> Generator; NumberDistribution distribution(rangeMin, rangeMax); RandomNumberGenerator generator; Generator numberGenerator(generator, distribution); generator.seed(time(0)); // seed with the current time generate(); return 0; } void generate(){cout << numberGenerator() << endl;}

compiler.hpp problem
by Petros 24 Apr '12

24 Apr '12

Hi, I am using boost 1.48 with msvc2010 on win7. When compiling, I get the following error ( and then many more on the same file ) : C:\_petros\_otc\ext\boost_1_48_0\boost/mpl/aux_/config/compiler.hpp(1): error C2059: syntax error : ':' I tried to look into the file and it does not look like an ordinary C++ header. I have no idea what to do with this error message.. On my laptop (boost 1.47) it does not give me this message. One more thing: I had to reinstall win7 and copied the previously saved boost build which then copied to the proper directory. Any ideas/input will be greatly appreciated. TIA, Petros

Re: [Boost-users] passing compiler directives
by Matt Priest 24 Apr '12

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the standard etiquette for this mailing list, but I thought I would follow up on solution I found for this issue. Maybe it's of value to someone. I had assumed that the required dependencies needed by the source file, unique_path.cpp, weren't getting there because of an inability to get the location to the compiler. It turns out that "read" and "close" aren't available via the <fcntl.h> header on this system (SuSE 11.?). They are available in the <unistd.h>... clearly a minor issue. I was not enthused about modifying the source files in the boost tree, but adding the "#include <unistd.h>" fixed the issue. Recompiling and adding the Bzip libs/header resulted in 1014 targets built with no "fail" messages. Here was the edit to "libs/filesystem/v3/src/unique_path.cpp", line #31: 27-#include <boost/filesystem/v3/operations.hpp> 28- 29-# ifdef BOOST_POSIX_API 30-# include <fcntl.h> 31:# include <unistd.h> 32-# else // BOOST_WINDOWS_API 33-# include <windows.h> Matt Subject: passing compiler directives Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2012 14:24:00 -0500 From: Matt Priest <mpriest(a)cray.com><mailto:mpriest@cray.com> To: <boost-users(a)lists.boost.org><mailto:boost-users@lists.boost.org> Hello, In advance, please excuse this newbie question.

When I run b2 with --debug-configuration option, I clearly see that change the -L and -I options in the user-config.jam file is reflected in the output, but still only see the -I"." option as shown above. It seems to me that those functions, read and close, should be made available through including the usual <fcntl.h>, and I think it's a bit curious that no other targets fail from the lack of "read" and "close". Any insight would be appreciated... thank you. Matt

Re: [Boost-users] [Test] Compiling libraries for Windows Mobile 6 ARMV4I
by Daniel Angel Muñoz Trejo 24 Apr '12

24 Apr '12

Hi Paul, I'm also trying to compile boost for WM6 ARMV4I with STLPort 5.2.1. I'm stuck still in the STLPort part. What steps did you follow to build STLPort 5.2.1 and then boost? I'm stuck in things like this for example: The configure --help of stlport states for evc9: (*) For these compilers the target processor is determined automatically. You must run the WCE*.BAT file you wish to build STLport for before running configure. But there isn't any WCE*.bat file in stlport zip. Do you (or anyone else) remember what steps did you follow to build? Thanks! -- Daniel Angel Muñoz Trejo

[Preprocessor] ternary identity macro
by Sebastian Pfützner 24 Apr '12

24 Apr '12

Hello, I often write something like #define TEXT(z, n, data) data BOOST_PP_ENUM(5, TEXT, xxx) in my code to create a comma separated list of words. Is there already a macro like TEXT in boost? Or is there a even better way to do what I want? Thanks in advance

map of ranges?
by Sven Bauhan 24 Apr '12

24 Apr '12

Hi, i was thinking of something like a map of ranges, but i did not get the range concept in boost yet. So what i want is something like: typedef map< range<time_duration>, Color> AgeColorMap; Is it possible to use something like that with the boost library? Thanks, Sven

Please tell me how to add PKG-CONFIG Support in bjam ?
by Baba Prasad 24 Apr '12

24 Apr '12

Dear friends, Please tell me how to set the pkg-config in bjam. please see like this I am using while compiling the using gcc and make command 1) gcc -g - o `pkg-config --cflags glib-2.0 dbus-glib-1 --libs glib-2.0 dbus-glib-1` main main.c but I don't know how to add this option in bajm and I don't know where to add this option in either jamfile or boost-build.jam. because you might get doubt why do you want use glib and dbus means I using dbus api's in my program. If it should be add in boost-build.jam file means it is already have the following boost-build /home/kaka/Documents/seamo/boost_1_49_0/tools/build/v2 ; so how to and where to add is my big confusion , please if any one knows could help me get out of this problem.
