Boost version meaning
by vicente.botet 25 Nov '08

25 Nov '08

Hi, I would like to know what is the meaning of the 3 numbers on the Boost version X.Y.Z. When X changes, i.e. when we could have a Boost version 2.0.0 Which number means a complete rewriten? Which number means an incompatible evolution? Which number means new functions? Which number means major bugs corrections? Which number means only minor bugs corrections? Is this written somewhere? If we were to version individual Boost libraries which will be the apropiated schema? Should all the libraries follow the same schema? What do you think of? X: complete rewriten or incompatible evolution Y: new functions or major bugs corrections Z: minor bugs corrections Thanks, Vicente

Hi, I have started the Maintenace Guidelines wiki page. You can access it directly https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/Guidelines/MaintenanceGuidelines or via https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki Guidelines * Maintenance Guidelines There page need to be completed and surely reworked but this is an starting point. Please be free to improve the page directly or post your comments or suggestions to this list. Hopping this goes on the right direction, Vicente

Boost 1.37.0 and Borland C++ Builder 5 (compiler version 5.5/5.5.1)
by Marcin Kurek 24 Nov '08

24 Nov '08

Hello, I'm upgrading project which was originally developed using Borland C++ Builder 5. I need to do some parsing, so I thought I'd use Boost Regex. However, building regex with Borland C++ 5.5 (and 5.5.1) is an issue. There is no bcb5.mak included, so I use bjam: C:\boost_1_37_0\libs\regex\bjam --toolset=borland-5.5 (I tried --toolset=borland also) When I hit enter the only things I get are compiler errors... borland.compile.c++ ..\..\..\bin.v2\libs\regex\build\borland-5.5.1\debug\posix_a pi.obj ..\..\..\libs\regex\src\..\src\posix_api.cpp: Error E2404 ..\..\..\boost/regex/v4/basic_regex.hpp 195: Dependent type qualifie r 'c_regex_traits<char>' has no member type named 'string_type' in function __st dcall regcompA(regex_tA *,const char *,int) (...) Error E2228 ..\..\..\boost/regex/v4/basic_regex.hpp 346: Too many error or warni ng messages in function __stdcall regcompA(regex_tA *,const char *,int) *** 6 errors in Compile *** "bcc32.exe" -j5 -g255 -q -c -P -Ve -Vx -a8 -b- -v -Od -tWC -tWR -tWC -tWD -W M- -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1 -DBOOST_REGEX_DYN_LINK=1 -I"..\..\.." -I"C:\Program File s\Borland\CBuilder5/include/" -o"..\..\..\bin.v2\libs\regex\build\borland-5.5.1\ debug\posix_api.obj" "..\..\..\libs\regex\src\..\src\posix_api.cpp" Is there anybody who forced BCC 5.5/5.5.1 to play with Boost/Regex? Thanks, Marcin

Problem building Boost 1.37.0 on AIX using XL C/C++ v9.0.0.7
by Scott P. Smith (Atlanta) 24 Nov '08

24 Nov '08

I have successfully built the bjam tool, however when I attempt to build boost I get the following errors: "libs/math/build/../src/tr1/cbrt.cpp", line 11.39: 1540-0403 (S) "cbrt(double)" is already defined. "libs/math/build/../src/tr1/copysign.cpp", line 13.39: 1540-0403 (S) "copysign(double, double)" is already defined. It looks like the TR1 implementation that comes with xlC v9 is clashing with the implementation in boost. Is there a way to tell the bjam that the compiler supports TR1? I did not see such an option in the bjam help output.

[boost::asio]about boost::asio::async_read_until

Hi Dear all I want use async_read_until for read stream from socket until EOF,but I can't compile code below. code: boost::asio::async_read_until(socket_, stream_buffer_,boost::asio::transfer_all(), boost::bind(&http_connection::handle_read_response, this, boost::asio::placeholders::error,boost::asio::placeholders::bytes_transferred)); stream_buffer is instance of boost::asio::streambuf I got the error like: d:\development\boost_1_36_0\boost\asio\impl\read_until.ipp(953) : error C2664: "bool boost::asio::detail::transfer_all_t::operator ()<iterator>(const Error &,size_t)":Can't convert paramerater 2 from "iterator" to "size_t" with [ Error=iterator ] d:\development\tcphttpbridge\httpconnection.cpp(75):参见对正在编译的函数模板实例化"void boost::asio::async_read_until<boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket,std::allocator<_Ty>,boost::asio::detail::transfer_all_t,boost::_bi::bind_t<R,F,L>>(AsyncReadStream &,boost::asio::basic_streambuf<> &,MatchCondition,ReadHandler,void *)"的引用 with [ _Ty=char, R=void, F=boost::_mfi::mf2<void,http_connection,const boost::system::error_code &,size_t>, L=boost::_bi::list3<boost::_bi::value<http_connection *>,boost::arg<1>,boost::arg<2>>, AsyncReadStream=boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket, MatchCondition=boost::asio::detail::transfer_all_t, ReadHandler=boost::_bi::bind_t<void,boost::_mfi::mf2<void,http_connection,const boost::system::error_code &,size_t>,boost::_bi::list3<boost::_bi::value<http_connection *>,boost::arg<1>,boost::arg<2>>> ] -- Best Regards, Ken

Re: [Boost-users] Boost.Asio, An invalid argument was supplied.

You were right, my apologies. Apparently, the problem was lying in preparing the acceptor to wait for clients. I was doing .bind() on it, but I was forgetting to do .listen(). Best regards, Steven

[multiindex] Why not to add B+Tree index to multiIndex?
by fgmailbox 24 Nov '08

24 Nov '08

we can use multiindex as a memory db,but the multiindex only support hash index and Order index(RB TREE),why not to add b+ Tree Index to multiindex to make it much faster . 2008-11-20 fgmailbox

[Preprocessor] Auitomatic switch generation for template class instanciation
by Olivier Tournaire 24 Nov '08

24 Nov '08

Hi all, I am currently completly lost with boost::preprocessor. I am trying to automatically generate a switch ... case structure with this lib and I cannot figure how I can do what I want. Here is the problem. I have a class templated over 2 parameters (in reality, more ...). At run time, I need to choose a specific instanciation for a user given values. An example : class MyDataEnergy { // ... }; class AnotherDataEnergy { // ... }; class MyPriorEnergy { // ... }; class AnotherPriorEnergy { // ... }; template <typename DataEnergyType , typename PriorEnergyType> class MyModel : public DataEnergyType , public PriorEnergyType { // ... }; Now, somewhere in the code, a user specifies which energies to use, and I have to instanciate MyModel with those energies: // ... int priorType = ValueComingFromSomewhere(); int dataType = AnotherValueComingFromSomewhere(); switch(priorType) { case 0: switch(dataType) { case 0: { MyModel<MyPriorEnergy,MyDataEnergy> aModel; aModel.SetInput(...); aModel.Optimize(...); } break; case 1: { MyModel<MyPriorEnergy,AnotherDataEnergy> aModel; aModel.SetInput(...); aModel.Optimize(...); } break; default: break; } case 1: switch(dataType) { case 0: { MyModel<MyPriorEnergy,MyDataEnergy> aModel; aModel.SetInput(...); aModel.Optimize(...); } break; case 1: { MyModel<MyPriorEnergy,AnotherDataEnergy> aModel; aModel.SetInput(...); aModel.Optimize(...); } break; default: break; } default: break; } I would like to know if there is a way to automate the above switch generation. As I have 5 templates, and not only 2, this will really helps ... I tried using BOOST_PP_SEQ_FOR_EACH but did not came to a result. Then, there is a lot of duplication in the above code. Am I doing the right way ?

[Proto] POD expression can't be used in std::vector
by Joel Falcou 23 Nov '08

23 Nov '08

I have a expression who use BOOST_PROTO_EXTEND to be used as a POD type and I have a class inheriting from this expression to build a terminal class. When I build a std::vector of this terminal class using vector(size_t n) constructor I got the following error : /usr/include/c++/4.3.2/bits/stl_uninitialized.h:192: erreur: no matching function for call to ‘_Construct(const nt2::cmplx_expr<boost::proto::exprns_::expr<boost::proto::tag::address_of, boost::proto::argsns_::list1<nt2::cmplx_expr<boost::proto::exprns_::expr<boost::proto::tag::terminal, boost::proto::argsns_::term<std::pair<float, float> >, 0l> >&>, 1l> >, const nt2::cmplx<float>&)’ And same for _Destruct() Seems & is used on the expression instead of the terminal class (a bit like the cout bug we found earlier). Is it a proto bug or a std bug ? -- ___________________________________________ Joel Falcou - Assistant Professor PARALL Team - LRI - Universite Paris Sud XI Tel : (+33)1 69 15 66 35
