I presume you're asking because you are having problems writing code with the BGL. Rather than ask for someone to post code, why not tell us the problem you are having? Oh, by the way - the subject line really should have something to do with the body of the message. At least, that's the traditional way of doing things and it works quite well ;=) -- Jim

RE: [Boost-Users] Regex in a service..

John, Thanks for the response. How do you deal with breakpoints within a service? I'm compiling then starting the service from the service control manager. Will I still be able to debug it?

Not unless you can tell me what exception and where - if you're using the vc ide then set it to break on OS and C++ exceptions. John. Yahoo!

"Unresolved externals" building MSVC 6.0 boost_1_30_0
by Peter Hug 13 Jun '03

13 Jun '03

When trying to build boost_1_30_0 as follows: vcvars32.bat bjam "-sTOOLS=msvc" I get some link errors: cpp_main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "int __cdecl cpp_main(i nt,char * * const)" (?cpp_main@@YAHHQAPAD@Z) test_main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "int __cdecl test_main (int,char * * const)" (?test_main@@YAHHQAPAD@Z) unit_test_main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "class boost::uni t_test_framework::test_suite * __cdecl init_unit_test_suite(int,char * * const)" (?init_unit_test_suite@@YAPAVtest_suite@unit_test_framework@boost@@HQAPAD@Z) And the tool finishes telling me these not so great news: ...failed updating 12 targets... Well I'm new but after spending two days trying to work out what the heck goes on, I'm none the wiser!

Re: RegEx Windows vs Linux

On a whim, I tried changing 'boost::cmatch' to 'boost::smatch'. That fixed my problem. I'd appreciate it if someone would tell me what was going on, though. Thanks, - Mark

Regex in a service..

I seem to be having a difficult time using the Regex class in a service. It works wonderfully in a regular app. Can anyone help me out.. Basically, instantiating a regex class raises an exception. Any thoughts? Thanks Loren

Spirit for C++ style if expressions
by Vincent Finn 12 Jun '03

12 Jun '03

Hi, I am thinking of using spirit for C++ style expressions and am wondering if it is the way to go What I have will be something like ( (A != 192) AND ( (V > 0) AND (V < "89") ) ) What I need is to be able to parse this replace the AND, > etc... with operations, replace string numbers with real numbers and then apply the operation to a large number of A and V. I would have thought this would be quite a common usage but I haven't seem any samples doing it of partictuar importance is the delayed evaluation Anyone have an example of this? Vin

boost::condition and lock concept
by db10www 12 Jun '03

12 Jun '03

I have created a mutex class which is a model of the mutex concept. I also have lock classes for this mutex which models the lock concept (e.g. called CMyLock). (The reason for this is to implement a read/write mutex and associated read and write locks) According to the boost documentation I should be able to use this lock with the boost::condition but I get a compile time error:- 'm_mutex' : is not a member of 'CMyLock' This is due to the condition::wait method defined in condition.hpp making a reference to lock.m_mutex Surely boost::condition only needs a lock object to be an instance of a class which is a model of lock. The lock concept makes no reference to a member variable called m_mutex. Is this a bug of boost::condition or am I doing something wrong. Any ideas? Many thanks.

Struggling with bind
by Paul Thompson 12 Jun '03

12 Jun '03

Hi all. I've been using boost::bind to work around deficiencies with std::mem_fun_ref and std::bind2nd under MSVC6. I have a class called CDocumentAttachments which had a member function thus: HINSTANCE Execute(LPCTSTR verb) const; I was using bind with this as follows: for_each(filenames.begin(), filenames.end(), bind(&CDocumentAttachments::Execute, _1, _T("print"))); "filenames" is a const vector of CDocumentAttachments objects. This worked fine. A little later on in development, I changed the function signature for CDocumentAttachments::Execute to: HINSTANCE Execute(LPCTSTR verb, bool visible) const; How will I pass the extra bool to bind? I can't find any examples of passing more than one parameter to a member function. I thought about (among many others) for_each(filenames.begin(), filenames.end(), bind(&CDocumentAttachments::Execute, _2, _T("print"), false)); but the compiler (VC6) complains with two of the following: k:\vc\include\boost\bind.hpp(760) : error C2679: binary '[' : no operator defined which takes a right-hand operand of type 'const class boost::arg<2>' (or there is no acceptable conversion) k:\vc\include\boost\bind\bind_template.hpp(33) : see reference to function template instantiation 'struct HINSTANCE__ *__cdecl boost::_bi::evaluator3<struct HINSTANCE__ *>::eval(const class boost::_bi::list3<class boost::arg<2>,class boost:: _bi::value<char *>,class boost::_bi::value<bool> > &,struct boost::_mfi::cmf2<struct HINSTANCE__ *,class CDocumentAttachments,char const *,bool>,class boost::_bi::list1<class CDocumentAttachments const &> &)' being compiled I know I'm being really thick here, and I'm sure there's something really obvious that I'm missing, but reading through the documentation hasn't helped me. Thank you very much. Paul -- Paul Thompson Programmer McLellan Software Design Ltd.

Daryle, what > do you think? I'll consider it. [A few hours pass...] How about something like this: //================================================================ #include <cstdlib> #include <exception> #include <fstream> #include <ios> #include <iostream> #include <ostream> #include <boost/crc.hpp> #ifndef BLOCK_SIZE #define BLOCK_SIZE 1024 #endif int main ( int argc, char const * argv[] ) try { boost::crc_32_type result; // Loop over each file argument for ( int i = 1 ; i < argc ; ++i ) { std::ifstream ifs( argv[i], std::ios_base::binary ); if ( ifs/*std::ifstream ifs(argv[i], std::ios_base::binary)*/ ) { /*char buffer[ BLOCK_SIZE ]; std::streamsize len; while ( 0 < (len = ifs.readsome( buffer, BLOCK_SIZE )) ) { result.process_bytes( buffer, len ); }*/ char c; while ( ifs.get(c) ) { result.process_byte( c ); } } else { std::cerr << "Failed to open file '" << argv[i] << "'." << std::endl; } } std::cout << std::hex << result.checksum() << std::endl; return EXIT_SUCCESS; } catch ( std::exception &e ) { std::cerr << "Found an exception with '" << e.what() << "'." << std::endl; return EXIT_FAILURE; } catch ( ... ) { std::cerr << "Found an unknown exception." << std::endl; return EXIT_FAILURE; } //================================================================ Note in the "if" statement, I had the construction in it. However, neither one of my compilers took it! Moving the constructor call worked, but I thought my original method should be accepted. One compiler finished after the above 'fix'. The other (a variant of GCC 3.1) complained about missing symbols at link-time; it could not create the global objects hidden in Boost.CRC. (I haven't worked on the code in a long time; there could be quirks on compilers written after Boost.CRC.) When I ran the program under the compiler that worked, the "readsome" function always returned zero! There were no suitable substitutes; the "read" function doesn't tell you how many characters it read (bad if the last block isn't full) and the multi-character "get" functions use delimiters. So this program is stuck at single-character reads at the moment. Maybe I should switch to the stream-buffer method you used. Can you try this out to make sure the problems aren't just mine? Daryle
