Still can't build boost on Linux with gcc 3.0.4
by Peter Simons 19 Mar '02

19 Mar '02

Hi, thanks to some helpful subscriber of this list, I figured out how to tell the Boost Build System where my Python is: I thus initiated the build by calling jam -sPYTHON_ROOT=/usr/local/python -sPYTHON_VERSION=2.2 \ -sBOOST_ROOT=/home/simons/projects/boost-current -sTOOLS=gcc but I am still getting lots of errors when trying to compile the latest version. A complete log of the failing build is available at http://cryp.to/boost-build-log.txt for anyone concerned. I'd appreciate any help on getting these errors fixed! -peter

Request for reviewers for a book about Boost
by Björn Karlsson 18 Mar '02

18 Mar '02

Dear Boosters, I am currently working on "Beyond The C++ Standard Library - An Introduction to Boost", which is a tutorial-style book about several of the Boost libraries. Where would one seek knowledgeable reviewers? Of course, it is here, and that's the reason for this note. Before saying more, I would like to ask that responses be sent directly to me rather than to the list. The moderators have allowed this note, but this is not intended to become a discussion. Should I receive notes of public interest, I'll post those to the list. Also, for those that are subscribing to both Boost (developers) and Boost-Users, my apologies for cross-posting. Onwards! The book will cover the following libraries (minor modifications to this list may occur): * Any * Array * Bind * Call_traits * Compose * Concept check * Conversion * Functional * Operators * Random * Rational * Regex * Smart_ptr * Static_assert * Tokenizer * Tuple * Type_traits * Utility I am looking for people interested in reviewing one or more chapter(s) (libraries). If you are volunteering, please add information that states the library, or libraries, that you'd be willing to review. Where one reviewer will have a deep knowledge about the libraries, another may only have a strong interest. Both are very welcome! What's in it for you? Not money I'm afraid, but something that is hopefully more valuable: A chance to make the book better, to share some of your knowledge, and maybe to learn something new. Your name in the preface :-). To volunteer, send a comment or ask a question, please contact me directly at bjorn.karlsson(a)readsoft.com. Thanks! Before I end this post: Boost is becoming more and more important for the C++ community, and I would like to thank all participating Boosters for the libraries, the ideas, the research, the discussions and the enthusiasm that sums up to what we call Boost. All of this not only makes the world a better place, it also (which I personally think is more important) makes the world more interesting! Thanks, Bjorn Karlsson [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

(there's a good chance the compiler error you are getting is a >bug in your compiler, not in your code or in the Boost code). Hi Jeremy, Thanks for the reply. Yes, I think it is the compiler too. I am using the Borland C++ Builder compiler 5.5 (the free command line compiler Borland made available a while ago). I am not sure yet I am not making a mistake, because I would expect this to be a popular compiler and simple things like this to have been found by now. All it takes to use the iterator adaptor libraries is including the header files, right? Thanks, Rodrigo _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

regex expression core dumps with \\
by soleani 17 Mar '02

17 Mar '02

Hi there, I've been using regex++ (v 3) for a while now. It's great! I just found out that my regex core dumps my program, look: std::string StringUtilities::getMsqlEscapedString( const char* input ) { if ( input == NULL ) return ""; cerr << "Hello" << endl; std::string inputStr( input ); cerr << "Hello111 (" << inputStr << ")" << endl; static const boost::regex expression1( "\\" ); cerr << "Hello222" << endl; string temp = boost::regex_merge( inputStr, expression1, "\\\\" ); cerr << "Hello33" << endl; static const boost::regex expression2( "'" ); return boost::regex_merge( temp, expression2, "\\'" ); } // StringUtilities::getMsqlEscapedString That's all I have. When I call it I see this: Testing getMsqlEscapedString... Hello Hello111 (hello) Aborted (core dumped) So, it seems that the call to: static const boost::regex expression1( "\\" ); makes it core dump. I went and changed that regular expression by "\"", just for kicks, and it works; it doesn't do what I want but it doesn't core dump. Anything I should do to avoid this problem? thanks, -Anibal

Error with boost::regex library with Borland C++ Builder 6
by ynaig2k 17 Mar '02

Hi, I tried everything to understand why I get the error "Abnormal program termination" in the second run of the function with the following code: void function() { regex e( std::string(Edit1->Text.c_str()) ); cmatch what; string response; TFileStream* file = new TFileStream( "1.htm", fmOpenRead ); response.resize(file->Size+1); file->Read(response.begin(), file->Size); response[file->Size] = 0; delete file; std::string::const_iterator start; start = response.begin(); while( regex_search( start, what, e ) ) { for ( unsigned int i = 0 ; i < what.size() ; i++ ) { { std::string result = std::string(what[i].first, what[i].second); Memo1->Lines->Add( result.c_str() ); } Memo1->Lines->Add(""); start = what[0].second; } } Thanks

It sounds like it is a compiler issue (I am using Borland). I will go back to the boost pages to see if there is anything I can do about it.

Does filter_iterator work for maps?
by rodrigo_braz 16 Mar '02

16 Mar '02

Hi, I don't see a reason for filter_iterator not to work with map iterators. However, the program below doesn't work. I get a compiler error "Cannot generate template specialization from 'make_filter_iterator<Predicate,Iterator> (Iterator,Iterator,const Predicate &)' in function main()" Any ideas? Thanks, Rodrigo #include <map> #include <ostream> #include "boost/iterator_adaptors.hpp" #include <algorithm> using namespace std; using namespace boost; struct pair_is_active { bool operator()(const pair<const size_t,float>& p) { return 0 < p.second; } }; ostream& operator<<(ostream& o, pair<const size_t, float> p) { return o << "(" << p.first << ", " << p.second << ")"; } int main() { map<size_t,float> m; m[0] = 10; m[1] = 15; m[2] = 0; m[3] = 13; copy(boost::make_filter_iterator<pair_is_active>(m.begin, m.end()), boost::make_filter_iterator<pair_is_active>(m.end(), m.end()), ostream_iterator<pair<const size_t,float> >(cout,",")); return 0; }

boost newbie questions
by Harm de Laat 15 Mar '02

15 Mar '02

Hi all, I'm new to Boost and relativily new to C++. I'm trying to program threads on my Redhat 7.2 linux. I have the following code: #include <iostream> #include <boost/thread/thread.hpp> #include <boost/thread/xtime.hpp> struct thread_struct { thread_struct(int secs) : m_secs(secs) {} void operator ()() { boost::xtime xt; boost::xtime_get(&xt, boost::TIME_UTC); xt.sec += m_secs; boost::thread::sleep(xt); std::cout << "Boosted!!!" << std::endl; } int m_secs; }; int main (int argc, char* argv[]) { int secs = 5; std::cout << "Starting..." << std::endl; thread_struct ts(secs); boost::thread thrd(ts); thrd.join(); } The code compiles without any problems... But do I have link it against some library? Because I cannot link it to an executable file. I'm new to this. So can somebody please be so kind to help me and describe the steps nessecary to run this Thread example file... Many Thanks, Harm de Laat Informatiefabriek The Netherlands

Hi, Can anyone explain to me why I get "Abnormal program termination" at the exit of the function shown below in the example. The error occurs when exiting the function after it was called second time. //---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- #include <vcl.h> #pragma hdrstop #include <boost/regex.hpp> #include <string> #include "Unit1.h" //---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- #pragma package(smart_init) #pragma resource "*.dfm" TForm1 *Form1; //---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- __fastcall TForm1::TForm1(TComponent* Owner) : TForm(Owner) { Edit1->Clear(); } //---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- using namespace boost; using namespace std; void __fastcall TForm1::Button1Click(TObject *Sender) { Memo1->Clear(); if ( Edit1->Text.IsEmpty() ) return; regex e( std::string(Edit1->Text.c_str()) ); cmatch what; string response; TFileStream* file = new TFileStream( "1.htm", fmOpenRead ); response.resize(file->Size+1); file->Read(response.begin(), file->Size); response[file->Size] = 0; delete file; std::string::const_iterator start; start = response.begin(); while( regex_search( start, what, e ) ) { for ( unsigned int i = 0 ; i < what.size() ; i++ ) { std::string result = std::string(what[i].first, what[i].second); Memo1->Lines->Add( result.c_str() ); } Memo1->Lines->Add(""); start = what[0].second; } } //---------------------------------------------------------------------- -----

Build problems on Linux with gcc 3.0.4
by Peter Simons 13 Mar '02

13 Mar '02

Hi, I have tried to build the current boost library as checked-out of the CVS repository, but I failed miserably. For one, the build process failed to recogize that Python is installed in /usr/local/python rather than /usr/local. As a result, it didn't find the python-specific include files either. I tried to set the appropriate environment variables but failed. So I added the directory /usr/local/python/include/python2.2 to CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH and then it worked -- at least a little better than before. Once the Python includes were found, the build process progressed to actually linking some programs: gcc-Link-action status/bin/config_test.test/gcc/debug/runtime-link-dynamic/threading-multi/config_test status/bin/config_test.test/gcc/debug/runtime-link-dynamic/threading-multi/config_test.o: In function `boost_has_clock_gettime::f()': /home/simons/projects/boost-current/libs/config/test/boost_has_clock_gettime.cxx:19: undefined reference to `clock_gettime' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Another failure was: ...failed gcc-Link-action status/bin/config_test.test/gcc/release/runtime-link-dynamic/threading-multi/config_test ... gcc-C++-action status/bin/class_concept_fail_expected.test/gcc/debug/runtime-link-dynamic/class_concept_fail_expected.o /home/simons/projects/boost-current/boost/concept_check.hpp: In member function `void boost::EqualityComparableConcept<TT>::constraints() [with TT = foo]': /home/simons/projects/boost-current/libs/concept_check/class_concept_fail_expected.cpp:25: instantiated from here /home/simons/projects/boost-current/boost/concept_check.hpp:265: no match for `foo& == foo&' operator /home/simons/projects/boost-current/boost/concept_check.hpp:266: no match for `foo& != foo&' operator Plenty of files failed to compile or to link, but I don't want to flood the list with error messages. So, first of all, is there any "right" way to tell the build process where python is installed? Maybe I should start from the scratch from there. -peter
