Problems Using boost:date_time library
by Carl Waldbieser 29 May '03

29 May '03

I recently tried some simple tests of the Boost date-time library (Boost 1.30.0 MSVC6) and ran into problems. I don't have the original code in front of me (unfortunately I left it at work), but more or less, it looked like this: #include "boost/date_time/gregorian/gregorian.hpp" #include <iostream> int main() { using namespace boost::gregorian; date today = day_clock::local_day(); month_iterator it(today); std::advance(it, 3); std::string strDate(to_simple_string(*it)); std::cout << "New date is " << strDate << std::endl; return 0; } The first problem I ran into was that I got a linker error because the class greg_month (in greg_month.hpp) did not provide definitions for the following member functions: const char* as_short_string() const; const char* as_long_string() const; I quicky wrote some inline switch statements to get past that hurdle, but then the compiler started complaining when I tried to use std::advance. It is unfortunate that I do not have the exact error in front of me right now, but I did trace the problem to the definition of month_iterator. I found that if I derived its base implementation class from the class template iterator that it would compile without problems. Is this a problem with the STL that ships with MSVC6? Anyway, I was wondering if maybe there was something I had not set up correctly with my compiler that was causing me to get these errors. Any help would be appreciated.

date_time generator question
by Claus Tondering 29 May '03

29 May '03

Is there any reason why date_time::partial_date<date> also exists as gregorian::partial_date, but date_time::first_kday_after<date> does not exist as gregorian::first_kday_after? (A similar question could be asked for other classes in the date_generators.hpp file.) -- Claus Tondering Danish Technological Institute

Regex: matching either of 2 fields, in any order
by john.wismar＠alldata.com 29 May '03

29 May '03

I have a string that I'm searching, with sub-fields that are delimited by '~'. I'm particularly interested in 2 of the fields, either of which may or may not exist, in an unspecified order, and are identified by an initial 'C' and 'O' respectively. The 'C' is always followed by one or more digits, the 'O' is followed by one or more characters. For example, these are all valid. ~A123~C456~MA4 ~C12345~OA1~A123 ~A4~MH1 I'd like to see if I can use regular expressions to say, "If there is a 'C' field, replace the digits after it with these digits. If there is an 'O' field, replace the characters after it with these characters." I can do this quite easily with two different regex search-and-replaces; if the fields were always in the same order, I'd have no problem with that, either. Is it possible to do this in a single operation, given that the order of the fields is arbitrary? ------------------------------ John Wismar BSA - AllData Offline Products john.wismar(a)alldata.com

newbie: trouble composing with boost::bind
by Jacques A. Vidrine 28 May '03

28 May '03

[Apologies if this is a duplicate. I posted this shortly after I subscribed, but I didn't see it come across.] Hello, I'm new to the Boost library and quite excited to see some of the tools available to assist writing functional-style code. Recently I wanted to perform an action on every object in a container of smart pointers (boost::shared_ptr). I couldn't seem to find a concise way to do so. Here is a small example (no container involved) demonstrating the problem I'm encountering. #include <iostream> #include <string> #include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp> #include <boost/bind.hpp> using namespace std; using namespace boost; void xprint(ostream *os, shared_ptr<string> p) { *os << p.get()->c_str() << endl; } void xprint2(ostream *os, string *p) { *os << p->c_str() << endl; } int main(int ac, char *av[]) { shared_ptr<string> p(new string("Test")); bind(xprint, &cerr, _1)(p); #ifdef THIS_DOES_NOT_WORK bind(xprint2, &cerr, _1)( bind(&shared_ptr<string>::get, _1)(p) ); #else string *q = bind(&shared_ptr<string>::get, _1)(p); bind(xprint2, &cerr, _1)(q); #endif return 0; } Using GCC 3.2, I encounter a `no match for call' error in the `THIS_DOES_NOT_WORK' section of code. (Full diagnostics below.) I have tried many variations using mem_fn, apply, and by specifying the return type of the functor explicitly, but with no success. I'm afraid I don't understand the problem. I hoped someone here might be able to hit me with a clue-stick :-) Cheers, -- Jacques Vidrine . NTT/Verio SME . FreeBSD UNIX .

[newbie] Question on embedding/extending with boost::python
by Chris Heald 27 May '03

27 May '03

Hi all -- I'm working on an app that is going to be a C++ code engine which will be heavily extended through a series of Python scripts (objects, really). My desired requirements are as follows: The environment is a C++ state machine, and each Python object should persistantly maintain its own state. I assume I can instanciate a Python object and maintain it in C++, then call it when necessary. a) Embed the Python interpreter b) Be able to pass values from the C++ state machine into the Python object for internal use c) Be able to call arbitrary Python functions from C++. I am currently doing this with an event registration handler, where scripts will handle events they want to handle, along with the function that should be called when the event is fired. d) Be able to update the C++ state machine with an interface exposed from C++ I can do a and b easily enough - the examples make that clear. Where I'm having trouble is with c and d - how do I give a Python app hooks into an existing C++ state machine? I know I can write an extension easily enough, but by my understanding, that will simply give the Python object access to a series of functions, and not the objects contained in the state machine that the interpreter is running under. I could use "pull" operations, wherein the C++ app polls the objects for changed state in a loop and updates its sate accordingly, but that seems that it wouldn't perform nearly so well as if the Python scripts were able to update the C++ state machine themselves, so I'm avoiding that route. I had a co-worker suggest that I use Python as my primary execution environment instead of C++. While this would admittedly make some things easier, how much performance would I sacrifice with this route? I'm building a 3D application, and it doesn't seem that Python would be well-suited to such an application in terms of performance. There is potential for literally tens of thousands of instances of these objects to exist in this state machine, and I certainly don't want to hinder performance by moving the primary execution into an interpreted environment rather than a compiled environment. Any words of wisdom? Or am I utterly failing to communicate clearly, as I think I am? ;) Thanks, Chris

Newbie: can't build Boot.Python with Borland bcc32 5.5.1
by David Webster-Jaggard 27 May '03

27 May '03

Hello. Sorry if the answer to this question is available elsewhere but I haven't found it yet. I would like to build the python library in boost_1_30_0 using Borland C++ Builder 5 (bcc32 version 5.5.1). Currently, this fails with a number of errors, the first and most significant being: Error E2401 C:\boost\boost_1_30_0\boost/python/object/inheritance.hpp 69: Invalid template argument list The statement around line 69 from inheritance.hpp is as follows: typedef typename mpl::if_c< is_polymorphic<T>::value , polymorphic_id_generator<T> , non_polymorphic_id_generator<T> >::type type; Is the borland compiler simply incapable of compiling this statement or (as is likely) have I missed something? Thanks in advance

[uBLAS] Expert Developer Advice Needed ... Maybe...
by dmatt001 27 May '03

27 May '03

Hi Guys, After a significantly long break from using uBLAS, I have now been lucky enough to find myself in a new role where I can again use it! Having noted that there was no vector cross product in uBLAS, I thought I would implement my own. To make it really efficient and work in with the other uBLAS features, I thought I would try to make a compatible routine that eliminates temporaries and uses the other cool uBLAS features. So far so good. To start, I decided to use a simple case that I could easily check: a 3d vector. I also decided to copy some other routines as required to get going. For this reason I copied "scalar_plus". Now that I have written the short piece code, it doesn't quite get there. So far not so good. ;-) I am hoping that a reader please review the short code and output below and give some quick pointers about what I can do better...? Perhaps I need to get some better knowledge about the relevant tricks -- I was hoping to emulate another developer in the first instance. Thanks, Matt --- Code Follows --- namespace boost { namespace numeric { namespace ublas { // Binary returning vector template<class T1, class T2> struct vector_vector_binary_functor { typedef

Nesting Grammars with boost::spirit
by Dan Nuffer 27 May '03

27 May '03

I have two grammars defined (value and variable). I'll paste value here, variable is very similar: struct value : public grammar<value> { template <typename ScannerT> struct definition { definition(value const &self) { val = real_p[&do_real] | ('-' >> val)[&do_neg] | '+' >> val; } rule<ScannerT> val; rule<ScannerT> const &start() const { return val; } }; }; Now I want to define a grammar that uses both of these, for instance part of it might be (value | variable)... how can I do this?

Hi there. I get the following error when I try to compile code using boost::date_time::posix_time: c:\PROGRAM FILES\BOOST_1_30_0\boost/date_time/posix_time/time_formatters.hpp(43): error: more than one operator "<<" matches these operands: function "std::basic_ostream<_E, _Tr>::operator<<(std::_Bool={bool={bool}}) [with _E=char, _Tr=std::char_traits<char>]" function "std::basic_ostream<_E, _Tr>::operator<<(short) [with _E=char, _Tr=std::char_traits<char>]" function "std::basic_ostream<_E, _Tr>::operator<<(unsigned short) [with _E=char, _Tr=std::char_traits<char>]" function "std::basic_ostream<_E, _Tr>::operator<<(int) [with _E=char, _Tr=std::char_traits<char>]" function "std::basic_ostream<_E, _Tr>::operator<<(unsigned int) [with _E=char, _Tr=std::char_traits<char>]" function "std::basic_ostream<_E, _Tr>::operator<<(long) [with _E=char, _Tr=std::char_traits<char>]" function "std::basic_ostream<_E, _Tr>::operator<<(unsigned long) [with _E=char, _Tr=std::char_traits<char>]" function "std::basic_ostream<_E, _Tr>::operator<<(float) [with _E=char, _Tr=std::char_traits<char>]" function "std::basic_ostream<_E, _Tr>::operator<<(double) [with _E=char, _Tr=std::char_traits<char>]" function "std::basic_ostream<_E, _Tr>::operator<<(long double) [with _E=char, _Tr=std::char_traits<char>]" operand types are: std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char>> << boost::posix_time::time_duration::fractional_seconds_type << frac_sec; Looking at the offending file (time_formatters.hpp, line 43 and vicinity) gives: #if (defined(BOOST_MSVC) && (_MSC_VER <= 1200)) // 1200 == VC++ 6.0 boost::int64_t frac_sec = td.fractional_seconds(); // JDG [7/6/02 VC++ compatibility] char buff[32]; _i64toa(frac_sec, buff, 10); #else time_duration::fractional_seconds_type frac_sec = td.fractional_seconds(); #endif if (frac_sec != 0) { ss << "." << std::setw(time_duration::num_fractional_digits()) << std::setfill('0') // JDG [7/6/02 VC++ compatibility] #if (defined(BOOST_MSVC) && (_MSC_VER <= 1200)) // 1200 == VC++ 6.0 << buff; #else << frac_sec; //!!! Line 43 !!!// #endif It appears that there is not a streaming operator defined for the time_duration::fractional_seconds_type type. Looking deeper into this issue was a bit of nightmare; since the offending type consists of numerous nested typdefs etc. etc. If anyone has a short and sweet answer to my essay of a question, I would appreciate it. The obvious answer of "don't use the Intel compiler" will not suffice! Saying that, when I switched from the Intel compiler to bad old MSVC6 I had not problems. But our company's software requires the performance gain provided by the Intel compiler on Windows. Another issue, I saw that during installation of Boost, it is possible using STLPort and MSVC6 together, but (for the reasons mentioned above), why not STLPort with the Intel compiler? I did ask the same question some time before now, but no-one bothered to answer. I would really appreciate any help in this regard! Greetings, Andre.
