You can use bcp then import it into your tree. The link escapes memory though.

Problems non intrusively serializing template inheritance classes, boost 1.33
by Pyush Agrawal 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

Hi, I am relatively a new to Boost serialization classes. I am trying to serialize a derived template class. template<class T> class base {}; tempate<class T> class derived : public base<T> {}; I am trying to serialize 'derived' and have tried many different things. I am unable to serialize the inherited template classes. For some reason the code calls (1) 'derived::Serialize' (2) 'base::Save' and never executes 'derived:: Save' and doesnot serialize the 'derived' object properly. I am attaching the source code (SerializeTemplates.cpp) and the output( output.txt) of the program. I am using MSVC7.1, debug mode, Boost 1.33, Spirit 1.8 It will be great, if somebody could point out what I am doing wrong. Thanks, Pyush

[function] Tiny documentation error?
by Stuart Dootson 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

I noticed that the documentation for boost::functionN::swap has a parameter type of "const functionN&". Shouldn't that be "functionN&" (i.e. non-const rather than const reference)? Stuart Dootson

Hi! Did anyone succeed building boost with MS embedded C++ 4 for WinCE 4.2 (x86) platform ? I see no TOOLS is defined for "evc4". Help !

Documentation links home
by Andy Little 26 Sep '05

26 Sep '05

Hi, I was looking at http://www.boost.org/libs/smart_ptr/smart_ptr.htm and I was surprised to find that there was no link to the main boost page. There are many other doc pages that dont have a link either to their own index pages or the boost index page. (Though many others do e.g http://www.boost.org/doc/html/date_time.html .) Anyone arriving at pages with no link to their parents has no direct way to find e.g what is boost or how/ where to download the boost libraries. That aside it is annoying when browsing that one has no means to get back up the tree. URLs such as smart pointer above are frequently posted on eg comp.lang.++, but the lack of any simple means to get up the tree must leave many potential users stranded and frustrated. Shouldnt it possible at least to get from any page in a libraries documentation to its main index page (e.g http://www.boost.org/libs/smart_ptr/shared_ptr.htm) and ideally http://www.boost.org/ too? (FWIW You could at least make the boost logo a link to http://www.boost.org/) Just a thought. Andy Little

[xpressive] multiple matches for a group
by Cory Nelson 26 Sep '05

26 Sep '05

I'm attempting to learn xpressive by writing a simple IRC regex. The IRC protocol goes like: :prefix numericreplyorcommandstring param1 param2 :trailing param The regex looks like this (ignore comments and newlines): ^ (?::(\S+)\s)? // prefix (?:(\d+)|(\S+)) // command (?:\s([^:]\S*))* // parameters (?:\s:(.+))? // trailing parameter $ And my static xpressive looks like this: bos >> optional(':' >> (s1=+~_s) >> _s) >> // prefix ((s2=+_d)|(s3=+~_s)) >> // command *(_s >> (s4 = ~as_xpr(':') >> *~_s)) >> // parameters optional(_s >> ':' >> (s5=+_)) >> // trailing parameter eos I'm not sure how to retrieve the multiple matches for s4 - any help? -- Cory Nelson http://www.int64.org

[serialization] vector deserialization problem
by Sergey Filippov 26 Sep '05

26 Sep '05

Hi, all. I'm using boost 1.33.0 and I have a problem deserializing from an archive (I'm using VC 7.1). To reproduce the problem I wrote a sample program listed below. #include <sstream> #include <boost/archive/binary_oarchive.hpp> #include <boost/archive/binary_iarchive.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/export.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/vector.hpp> struct A { virtual ~A() {} friend class boost::serialization::access; template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version) {} }; struct B: A { friend class boost::serialization::access; template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version) { ar & boost::serialization::base_object<A>(*this); } }; BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT(A); BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT(B); int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { std::string str; { std::stringstream stream; boost::archive::binary_oarchive ar(stream); B b; std::vector<int> v(10); ar & b; ar & v; str = stream.rdbuf()->str(); } { std::stringstream stream; stream.rdbuf()->str(str); boost::archive::binary_iarchive ar(stream); B b; std::vector<int> v; ar & b; ar & v; // causes an assert } return 0; } During deserialization of the vector (a line with "// causes an assert"), an assert occurs in the line 266 in basic_iarchive.cpp. I don't understand the library source code well, but it looks something strange for me. As far as I understood the reset_object_address function supposed to be called with addresses of tracked objects. In my case the new_address parameter is the address of an element in the vector. But the vector elements are of a primitive type and must not be tracked. Maybe reset_object_address supposed to handle such a situation, but in the provided sample something goes wrong. If I skip the line with reset_object_address in archive_input_seq (collections_load_impl.hpp, line 91) in debugger, the sample works as expected. Also with 1.32 (in which archive_input_seq almost identical with one in 1.33 except the call to reset_object_address) the sample works as well. So I'm considering to patch the library by commenting this line. What side effects will it have? I as understood from previous posts in this forum reset_object_address was added as a bugfix to loading of containers with pointers to trackable objects. Is it safe to comment out the reset_object_address call, if I do not serialize such containers? Or maybe I'm just using the serialization library in a wrong way? Then where is the problem in my code? Thanks in advance. Sergey

Re: [Boost-users] [BBv2] getting started problem with headers
by Tino S. 26 Sep '05

Hi Volodya, after checking the "bin\msvc\release\hello.obj.rsp" file i saw that the backslashes was removed from the path name. Input in Jamfile : <include>D:\Temp\boost_1_33_0 Ouput in hello.obj.rsp: -I"D:Tempboost_1_33_0" Should the path substitution fixed in bjam? I changed the backslashes to slashes in Jamfile, removed the bin folder and invoked bjam ... and now it works!!! :) I tryed again the exe hello3 : hello.cpp : <include>$(BOOST_ROOT) ; after removing the bin folder and this works to!!! ..hmmm..??? Thanks a lot Volodya for fast help!! Tino ___________________________________________________________ Was denken Sie über E-Mail?
