Volodya, Sorry about the formatting. It annoys me too. However, I'm using Earthlink's online Web Mail, so I'm stuck with some of their choices. There new mail (available RSN) may have a formatting option. RE: exception DOH! I should have thought of that. For everything else, I'm always very careful to check for exceptions. In this case, I tacitly assume it worked like getopts and just left unknown options on the command line. (Old habits die hard.) I haven't got time to try now, but I will put in the exception handlers and see what it's complaining about with my positional parameter. I realize that "bomb" wasn't very precise, but it was hard to describe what happened. First, Zone Alert would become excited and claim that my program was attempting to do something "dangerous". (Yes, that should have clued me in to an exception being thrown, but I was dense.) If I told Zone Alert to let it happen, then Windows popped up a dialog offering to send a report to Microsoft about my incompetence. :-) Thanks for your help. Merrill

boost::thread - mistake in documentation
by Oliver.Kowalke＠infineon.com 21 Nov '05

21 Nov '05

Hello, the documentation (http://www.boost.org/doc/html/condition.html) of class condition contains a mistake: instead of template<typename ScopedLock, typename Pred> bool timed_wait <http://www.boost.org/doc/html/condition.html> (ScopedLock&, Pred); it should be template<typename ScopedLock, typename Pred> bool timed_wait <http://www.boost.org/doc/html/condition.html> (ScopedLock&, const boost::xtime <http://www.boost.org/doc/html/xtime.html> & , Pred); so long, Oliver

contribution - sync. queue between producer/consumer threads
by Oliver.Kowalke＠infineon.com 21 Nov '05

Hello, I would contribute this code. The queue synchronizes the access between producer threads (putting items into the queue) and consumer threads (removing items from queue). I would be glad if you add this code to boost::thread library. With regards, Oliver <<queue.hpp>> <<test.cpp>>

Will, I've changed my original po::store(parse_command_line(argc, argv, desc), vm); to po::store(po::command_line_parser(argc, argv). options(desc). positional(pd). run(), vm); where desc is is an options_description and pd is a positional_options_description. This looks like an exact match for po::variables_map vm; po::store(po::command_line_parser(ac, av). options(desc).positional(p).run(), vm); po::notify(vm); which is the example from http://www.boost.org/doc/html/program_options/tutorial.html. However, the code still bombs if I give it a positional parameter or an option it isn't expecting. Merrill

Liam, I think you're right, but I haven't been able to figure out the exact incantation. :-) Merrill

Unknown program_options bomb
by Merrill Cornish 21 Nov '05

21 Nov '05

I am using Boost 1.33.0 with MinGW on Windows XP. I am using the following program_optins code to collect command line arguments: po::options_description desc("Options"); desc.add_options() ...[everyting defined in here works as advertised]... ;//add-options() // specify the single, required graph file positional parameter po::positional_options_description pd; pd.add("graph_file", 1); po::variables_map vm; po::store(parse_command_line(argc, argv, desc), vm); po::notify(vm); ... The above code is shamelessly lifted from the tutorial. Everything defined in desc.add_options() works including the "-h" alternative to "--help". However, two things fail. * vm.count("graph_file") returns 0 regardless of whether there are positional argument(s). * specifying an -x, --xx, --xx=n option where "x" or "xx" is not included in desc.add_options() causes store() to not return (the program simply stops). Am I missing something? Merrill

[wave] question about preprocessing hooks
by Alexey Bakhvalov 20 Nov '05

20 Nov '05

Hello, What is a correct way to implement 'defined_macro' hook? For some reason I always get empty 'definition' list. My hook implementation looks like this: class hook : public boost::wave::context_policies::default_preprocessing_hooks { public: template <typename TokenT, typename ParametersT, typename DefinitionT> void defined_macro(TokenT const &macro_name, bool is_functionlike, ParametersT const &parameters, DefinitionT const &definition, bool is_predefined) { if (!definition.empty()) { // never gets here } } }; I am using Boost 1.33 and VC .NET 2005 compiler.

Just another thought. Since you're using the 'vc-7_1-stlport' toolset, you'll need to add a <vc-7_1-stlport><*><rtti>off # workaround for compiler bug line to the Jamfiles. Could you please try this and report back? Regards Hartmut

FYI: The documentation page for the ptr_list<> class, http://www.boost.org/libs/ptr_container/doc/ptr_list.html, has a heading the says "Class ptr_vector". The headings are correct for ptr_vector<>, ptr_array<>, and ptr_deque. Merrill

Thread sheduling priority
by Leon Mergen 19 Nov '05

19 Nov '05

Hello, If been lookup up possible planned functonality for adjusting a thread's priority in the boost thread library. In my search, i found this email: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/boost/1690190 In that message, sent 2 years ago, William E. Kempf states that they are implemented but are still undergoing design changes. At the moment, I still don't see that functionality in the main boost library - is there any idea when this is going to be part of the main boost library ? Thanks in advance. -- Leon Mergen
