Problems cross compiling to ARM
by James Hughes 03 Jan '06

03 Jan '06

Hello all, I am cross compiling the boost libs to the PXA270 arm processor running Linux, using GCC 3.4.3 (iwmmxt_le-g++ et al from Montavista) Whilst a lot of libs do seem to build correctly, I get a number of other errors. Here is a typical example which comes up a lot..... /home/jhughes/boost_1_33_1/boost/spirit/core/primitives/numerics.hpp:120: error: declaration of `template<class ScannerT> struct boost::spirit::sign_parser::result' /home/jhughes/boost_1_33_1/boost/spirit/core/parser.hpp:123: error: conflicts with previous declaration `template<class ScannerT> struct boost::spirit::parser<boost::spirit::sign_parser>::result' In file included from /home/jhughes/boost_1_33_1/libs/serialization/build/../src/basic_xml_grammar .ipp:22, from /home/jhughes/boost_1_33_1/libs/serialization/build/../src/xml_wgrammar.cpp: 243 In fact most of the errors seem to be in the grammer area. The command I use to do the build is ... bjam "-sGCC_ROOT_DIRECTORY=/opt/montavista/mobilinux/devkit/arm/iwmmxt_le" "-sGCC=iwmmxt_le-gcc" "-sGXX=iwmmxt_le-g++" stage In addition, I do not seem to get any files copied to the include folder when doing a install build (/usr/local/lib has lots of my built boost libs, /usr/local/include is empty). I would expect to see files in there - am I correct in that expectation? Anyone any ideas? James

Dear Robert, The boost library I use is from direct includes from Fedora Core 4. I think they might have done a good job to make it work before they distribute on FC4. I built a local boost library per your suggestion, however, the same errors come up. Any More suggestion? Like any small sample code can be built successfully on your system if it is a linux? Thanks. Feng

Merrill, I tried to change the include files order as you suggested, but it does not work. Any more suggestions? Feng

Boost.Serialization // Basic Usage Problem for your help!
by Feng Wang 03 Jan '06

03 Jan '06

Dear All, I got a trouble with boost::serialization library and need your help. 1) I am working with FC4 on my laptop. GCC 4.0.2 is known handle this library pretty well according to yesterdays's report. http://boost.sourceforge.net/regression-logs/cs-Linux.html 2) try to test the basic sample obtained on webpage posted by Jeff Cogswell: #include <fstream> #include <iostream> //#include <boost/serialization/base_object.hpp> #include <boost/archive/text_oarchive.hpp> #include <boost/archive/detail/basic_iarchive.hpp> #include <boost/archive/text_iarchive.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/utility.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/access.hpp> using namespace std; class Vertex { private: friend class boost::serialization::access; template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version) { ar & x; ar & y; } double x; double y; public: Vertex() {} // Serialization requires a default constructor Vertex(double newX, double newY) : x(newX), y(newY) {} double getX() const { return x; } double getY() const { return y; } void dump() { cout << x << " " << y << endl; } }; int main() { Vertex v1(1.5, 2.5); std::ofstream ofs("myfile.vtx"); boost::archive::text_oarchive oa(ofs); oa << v1; ofs.close(); return 0; } 3) try to compile and link it by the following command: g++ -lboost_serialization testoa.cpp -otestoa and got a bunch of errors. 4) The errors looks as this:

Feng, I don't have the expertise to decode the full list of errors. However, I do know that there is an ordering dependency that requires all archive include files come before any serialization include files. So, try rearranging your #includes to put archive includes first and see what happens. Merrill

True, but it's not the BOOST_AUTO_TEST_MAIN that's causing the problem, or that's being included in more than one file. > Worse, that also means that other headers that pay attention to > that macro can't be in a common header, otherwise the One Definition Rule > would be broken. If you have two translation units with an anonymous namespace, they may appear to be defining the same thing twice. But the C++ standard says it is not the same thing, since each anonymous namespace is distinct. So the definitions occur in different namespaces. Compiler writers seem to be having trouble getting the correct semantics in this case. -- Ross Boylan wk: (415) 514-8146 185 Berry St #5700 ross(a)biostat.ucsf.edu Dept of Epidemiology and Biostatistics fax: (415) 514-8150 University of California, San Francisco San Francisco, CA 94107-1739 hm: (415) 550-1062

[serialization] assertion in basic_binary_oprimitive::save_binary() revisited
by Austin Bingham 02 Jan '06

02 Jan '06

A while ago I brought up what I considered (and still consider) to be a serious problem in basic_binary_oprimitive::save_binary(). The problem is the assert at the end of the function: assert(os.good()); There are a number of reasons why doing this is a bad idea, but the discussion on this issue was dropped flat on the floor. Is there any possibility of discussing alternatives to this assertion? At the very least, can I get an explanation of why an assert is correct to which counter-arguments might be considered? -- Austin Bingham

boost::spirit, comment_p("//")

Hello Boost users. I'd like to know if anyone was solving the following problem. I tried to use comment_p("//") in this way: rule_t r = *(anychar_p-comment_p("//")) % comment_p("//")[push_back_a(v)] ; This works for me except this case: C++ code: <snip> else if (szMethodName == "the test //") open(tCallParams, tAction); <snip> Problem is caused by the string "the test //". Then the source is parsed in the wrong way because //") open(tCallParams, tAction); is assumed as comment. I think I should select an allowed segment where // is valid.
