[wave] bug report for wave
by Andreas Sæbjørnsen 05 Dec '05

05 Dec '05

When preprocessing the code #define $jack int test; $jack using any preprocessor using the wave library, in this case the samples/lexed_tokens/lexed_tokens preprocessor , gives the following error: PP_DEFINE (#369) at test.C ( 1/ 1): >#define< SPACE (#393) at test.C ( 1/ 8): > < lexed_tokens: /home/saebjornsen1/projects/boost/boost/wave/token_ids.hpp:497: boost::wave::util::flex_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char>, boost::wave::util::CowString<boost::wave::util::AllocatorStringStorage<char, std::allocator<char> >, char*> > boost::wave::get_token_name(boost::wave::token_id): Assertion `id < T_LAST_TOKEN-T_FIRST_TOKEN' failed. Aborted using the preprocesor cpp (from the gcc team) I get (as cpp test.C): # 1 "test.C" # 1 "<built-in>" # 1 "<command line>" # 1 "test.C" int test; I believe the problem lies in that the lexer does not recognize the '$' as a valid character within the name of macro definition. Thanks Andreas Saebjoernsen

[Serialization] Pure binary archive available?
by Chris . 05 Dec '05

05 Dec '05

Hi, the serialization library is almost what im after. My only problem is that in the archive output additional data is added to the start of the archive (for example "22 serialization::archive" for text files). Is there any way of disabling this? In my case, I require a pure binary archive. Ideally i would like to write one if one doesnt exist but i'm not sure if i have time, depending on how hard it would be. How hard would it be do make my own archive type, where by i could set the endian field to convert bigendian to littleendian depending on what the user defines the 'archive endianess' to be on archive construction? I have done this with my own serialization library, however i dont want to extend that because it only handles c++ primitives and dealing with pointers things start getting horrible very very quickly! Thanks in advance. Chris _________________________________________________________________ MSN Messenger 7.5 is now out. Download it for FREE here. http://messenger.msn.co.uk

[Serialization] Compile error in heap_allocator.invoke in MSVC8 debug mode
by Tim Murray 05 Dec '05

05 Dec '05

Hi, I have successfully compiled the boost libs for the serialization library using bjam and I am now trying to make use of it in my project. I am building my project in MSVC8. It has successfully compiled and run in Release mode, but I am getting a compiler error in Debug mode on the same code and am at a loss as to what the problem is. The compiler error I am getting is: iserializer.hpp(252) : error C2065: '()' : undeclared identifier Here's a bit from the template stack trace: ...iserializer.hpp(252) : error C2544: expected ')' for operator '()' ...iserializer.hpp(251) : while compiling class template member function 'World::CWorld *boost::archive::detail::heap_allocator<T>::invoke(void)' 1> with 1> [ 1> T=World::CWorld 1> ] The following is the class this is complaining about: namespace World { class CWorld { friend class boost::serialization::access; template<class Archive> void save(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version) const; template<class Archive> void load(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version); BOOST_SERIALIZATION_SPLIT_MEMBER() public: ~CWorld(); static CWorld* getWorld(){ return m_world; } static bool loadWorld(std::string filename); static bool saveWorld(std::string filename); static bool unloadWorld(); protected: CWorld(); static CWorld *m_world; }; } And the source of the error traces back to the following member function: bool CWorld::loadWorld(std::string filename) { if(m_world) return false; m_world = new CWorld(); // create and open an archive for input std::ifstream ifs(filename.c_str(), std::ios::binary); boost::archive::text_iarchive ia(ifs); // read class state from archive ia & *m_world; //!!!this is the line that the error traces to return true; } Like I said - this code compiles fine under Release mode, but this error keeps showing up on Debug mode. Any ideas on what might be wrong? And if you need more information, just ask. Thanks, Tim Murray

[Serialization] Resolved problems with vs 7.1 -- kind of
by David Parks 04 Dec '05

04 Dec '05

First off, I apologize for not replying directly to my last message but I'm not even sure it's been posted yet -- as I don't have permission to post yet (the 'first message is moderated' deal). Anyway, I wasn't able to make the example in my last post work with any sane process but I did get it to work by doing the following: 1) splitting the stuff into 3 files -- the main driver, the class header, and the class .cpp. I put both classes in the class files. 2) Including the */archive/* files in the class cpp immediately followed by export.hpp... then the class header. 3) Including the same archive headers in the class header followed by serialization.hpp (I'm sure this could be done lighter but...) 4) Including only the class header in main. 5) BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT(derived) in the class cpp. 6) This is where it starts to diverge from any information in the tutorials and documentation. First, I had to switch from text to xml. I'm not positive but, if I couldn't get it to work after 12 straight hours, I'd guess the text interface is broken. 7) You will get a pretty incorrect error (in the header comments) if you don't call the base class in the derived class serialization (ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_BASE_OBJECT_NVP(base);). This is not ideal because in many instances, like mine, you might not care about the bases serialization if you have a derived class... the derived class is 'smarter'. But this I can deal with. What I needed to do was serialize a vector of objects of some base class -- you know, like the useless circles and squares of shapes example in every intro C++ book. The documentation could use this as an example -- it has to be one of the most common uses for a serializer. Oh, one goofy note that thankfully only took a couple of minutes to catch: namespaces aren't all the rage but if you make big use of them (like me), beware of BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT... it takes a flash of inspiration to realize that it's going to try to put colons in your XML tags. Even more tricky is the situation where you are calling, say, the base-class with BOOST_SERIALIZATION_BASE_OBJECT_NVP. It stringizes this without telling you -- it has to. But if you do this ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_BASE_OBJECT_NVP(A::B) you will get an error but this (thankfully) using namespace A; ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_BASE_OBJECT_NVP(B); works. I have no idea how to make this friendly. Best, - David

Serialization v1.33.0 and Serializing derived classes through base class
by David Parks 04 Dec '05

04 Dec '05

I'm having a newbie issue with serialization on a derived class with a virtual function. I'm using the 1.33.0 build on VS 7.1. I've shrunken my code to a micro-version of what I tried to do. Here I have two classes, A and B, where B is a subclass of A. They share a virtual function (ie B overrides dumpFunc in A). I've registered B with BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT(B). I've turned on RTTI in VS 7.1 (/GR or whatever). Still, I get a run time assert error in the boost library telling me that the derived/base relationship wasn't registered. Here's the code. I'll try to spell out the error below. #include <string> #include <fstream> #include <boost/archive/tmpdir.hpp> #include <boost/archive/text_iarchive.hpp> #include <boost/archive/text_oarchive.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/export.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/base_object.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/utility.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/vector.hpp> class A; class B; class A { friend class boost::serialization::access; template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version) { ar & m_className; }; std::string m_className; public: A() { m_className = "ClassA\n"; }; virtual void dumpFunc() {}; }; class B : public A { friend class boost::serialization::access; template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version) { ar & m_classNameB; }; std::string m_classNameB; public: B() { m_classNameB = "ClassB\n"; }; virtual void dumpFunc() {}; }; BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT(B) void main() { std::vector<A *> vecA; B *b=new B(); vecA.push_back(b); std::ofstream ofs("saveFile.sav"); boost::archive::text_oarchive oa(ofs); oa & vecA; delete b; } The following is a stack trace of where it hits the assert. The key thing to note is that save_pointer_type bails out after deciding that class B was not registered. I'm hoping that this is a rookie error but I just can't see it.

Wave library fails to compile with VC7.1 - Buffer overrun in cl.exe

cannot resolve shared_ptr calls
by Steven Solie 03 Dec '05

03 Dec '05

I don't understand why the following program doesn't compile when using smart_ptr but works fine with raw pointers: #include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp> class Base { public: virtual ~Base() {}; }; class Base1 : public Base { public: virtual ~Base1() {}; }; class Base2 : public Base { public: virtual ~Base2() {}; }; class Derived1 : public Base1 {}; class Derived2 : public Base2 {}; typedef boost::shared_ptr<Base> BasePtr; typedef boost::shared_ptr<Base1> Base1Ptr; typedef boost::shared_ptr<Base2> Base2Ptr; typedef boost::shared_ptr<Derived1> Derived1Ptr; typedef boost::shared_ptr<Derived2> Derived2Ptr; void f(BasePtr ptr) {} void f(Base1Ptr ptr) {} void f(Base2Ptr ptr) {} int main() { Derived1Ptr d1(new Derived1); Derived2Ptr d2(new Derived2); f(d1); f(d2); } I see the following compile errors with GCC 3.4.4: smart-test.cpp: In function `int main()': smart-test.cpp:24: error: call of overloaded `f(Derived1Ptr&)' is ambiguous smart-test.cpp:15: note: candidates are: void f(BasePtr) smart-test.cpp:16: note: void f(Base1Ptr) smart-test.cpp:17: note: void f(Base2Ptr) smart-test.cpp:25: error: call of overloaded `f(Derived2Ptr&)' is ambiguous smart-test.cpp:15: note: candidates are: void f(BasePtr) smart-test.cpp:16: note: void f(Base1Ptr) smart-test.cpp:17: note: void f(Base2Ptr) If I remove the extra layer of inheritance it works as it should. #include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp> class Base { public: virtual ~Base() {}; }; class Derived1 : public Base {}; class Derived2 : public Base {}; typedef boost::shared_ptr<Base> BasePtr; typedef boost::shared_ptr<Derived1> Derived1Ptr; typedef boost::shared_ptr<Derived2> Derived2Ptr; void f(BasePtr ptr) {} int main() { Derived1Ptr d1(new Derived1); Derived2Ptr d2(new Derived2); f(d1); f(d2); } As I said earlier, doing the same with raw pointers resolves things as would be expected in both cases. Any ideas? --Steven
