VC++ 6.0 ,SGI STL and Boost
by Joshua 23 Oct '02

23 Oct '02

I'm just trying to include the files for the shared_ptr class and keep having problems. I was able to fix a problem with a duplicate definition of 'max' and 'min' (in suffix.hpp, it was conflicting with a file from the SGI STL implementation) I mainly just commented it out, if someone has a better plan on how to fix it I would love to know how to fix it. I have tried Boost 1.28 and 1.29 and still got the same set of errors. In addition to the 'max' and 'min' conflict I am getting these errors : e:\programming projects\c++ projects\boost_1_28_0\boost\checked_delete.hpp(24) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'T' e:\programming projects\c++ projects\boost_1_28_0\boost\checked_delete.hpp(24) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'T' e:\programming projects\c++ projects\boost_1_28_0\boost\checked_delete.hpp(30) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'T' e:\programming projects\c++ projects\boost_1_28_0\boost\checked_delete.hpp(30) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'T' e:\programming projects\c++ projects\boost_1_28_0\boost\detail\shared_count.hpp(184) : error C2504: 'counted_base' : base class undefined e:\programming projects\c++ projects\boost_1_28_0\boost\detail\shared_count.hpp(206) : see reference to class template instantiation 'detail::counted_base_impl<P,D>' being compiled e:\programming projects\c++ projects\boost_1_28_0\boost\detail\shared_count.hpp(253) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'Y' e:\programming projects\c++ projects\boost_1_28_0\boost\detail\shared_count.hpp(254) : error C2065: 'Y' : undeclared identifier e:\programming projects\c++ projects\boost_1_28_0\boost\detail\shared_count.hpp(390) : fatal error C1506: unrecoverable block scoping error So I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong (like not setting up the include order correctly) or if Microsoft is once again making my life hell. I am being bad and using the __int64 data type but I may need to rethink it and convert it to standard C++ (well sorta standard, I think gcc supports a longlong to get a 64bit int.. if not I may change it around to a bit_vector or something). But if anyone can shed some light on why I'm getting these errors listed above I'd really appreciate it. thanks. Joshua.

VC++ 6.0 with SGI STL and Boost
by Joshua 23 Oct '02

23 Oct '02

I'm using VC++ 6.0 with the SGI implementation of the STL. I'm trying to use the shared_ptr but when I try to include the <boost/shared_ptr.hpp> file I get about 40 errors. Most are related to errors redefining template functions. Its conflicting with the SGI STL header files but I'm not sure how to fix it. I keep thinking that I need to adjust the include order (Currently the Boost files are first, the the STL, then Microsofts includes. It doesn't matter where the Boost include directory is though I still get the same errors : this is a small sample --------------------Configuration: DryDock - Win32 Debug-------------------- Compiling... AbstractComponent.cpp e:\programming projects\c++ projects\boost_1_29_0\boost\config\suffix.hpp(256) : error C2995: 'min' : template function has already been defined e:\programming projects\c++ projects\drydock\drydock\stl\stl_algobase.h(106) : see declaration of 'min' e:\programming projects\c++ projects\boost_1_29_0\boost\config\suffix.hpp(260) : error C2995: 'max' : template function has already been defined e:\programming projects\c++ projects\drydock\drydock\stl\stl_algobase.h(112) : see declaration of 'max' e:\programming projects\c++ projects\boost_1_29_0\boost\checked_delete.hpp(24) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'T' e:\programming projects\c++ projects\boost_1_29_0\boost\checked_delete.hpp(24) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'T' e:\programming projects\c++ projects\boost_1_29_0\boost\checked_delete.hpp(30) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'T' e:\programming projects\c++ projects\boost_1_29_0\boost\checked_delete.hpp(30) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'T' e:\programming projects\c++ projects\boost_1_29_0\boost\detail\shared_count.hpp(213) : error C2504: 'counted_base' : base class undefined e:\programming projects\c++ projects\boost_1_29_0\boost\detail\shared_count.hpp(235) : see reference to class template instantiation 'detail::counted_base_impl<P,D>' being compiled And it goes on like that to a grand total of 40 errors. I know its probably just something like the order of the includes or I need to add something to specify the namespace correctly. Has any tried using this combination of libraries (VC++, SGI STL, Boost) and gotten it to work? Thanks.

Newbie trying to use multi_array ...
by Jon Pendergrass 23 Oct '02

23 Oct '02

I'm new to Boost, so please excuse my lack of knowledge. I'm trying to use the multi_array class and have hit a small snag. I'd like to have a class with a 4-D array. Initially it won't contain any data. However, Microsoft Visual C++ v6.0 complains about not finding a constructor. I want to do something like this: #include "boost/multi_array.hpp" typedef boost::multi_array<std::complex<double>, 4> t_Array4D; class foobar { t_Array4D ar; }; void foobar::SetValue() { // set extents code // set value this->ar[0][0][0][0] = 2.0; }

Smart Pointers and Autocomplete
by eldritchshadows 22 Oct '02

22 Oct '02

Has anybody ever found a program which worked under Visual C++ that would list the member functions of the pointers wrapped by smart pointers. An example of what I'm talking about would be Visual Assist (except it doesn't seem to work). It would make life easier. Thanks in advance. Nathan Janken

[BGL] Why does depth_first_search not accept a source vertex parameter?
by kweeheong 21 Oct '02

21 Oct '02

Hi, I'm just learning about the BGL, and I've been sucessful in compiling and learning with examples on my VC6 Windows machine. I have a newbie question that someone with more knowledge of BGL might be able to answer : Q : Why does depth_first_search not accept a source vertex parameter, while breadth_first_search do? Is this just to be consistent with the historical definition of DFS? However, depth_first_visit and breadth_first_visit both accept a source vertex parameter. It would seem that DFS is more useful ( output is more deterministic ) if the source vertex can be specified, just like BFS. Reference : ( from the online BGL documentation ) template <class VertexListGraph, class P, class T, class R> void breadth_first_search(VertexListGraph& G, typename graph_traits<VertexListGraph>::vertex_descriptor s, const bgl_named_params<P, T, R>& params); template <class IncidenceGraph, class P, class T, class R> void breadth_first_visit(IncidenceGraph& G, typename graph_traits<IncidenceGraph>::vertex_descriptor s, const bgl_named_params<P, T, R>& params); template <class VertexListGraph, class class P, class T, class R> void depth_first_search(VertexListGraph& G, const bgl_named_params<P, T, R>& params); template <class IncidenceGraph, class DFSVisitor, class ColorMap> void depth_first_visit(IncidenceGraph& g, typename graph_traits<IncidenceGraph>::vertex_descriptor s, DFSVisitor& vis, ColorMap color);

A New Boost Mailing List
by Jon Kalb 18 Oct '02

18 Oct '02

As you know there are currently three Boost mailing lists: Boost - the discussion list for Boost library developers Boost-Users - the discussion list for Boost library users Boost-Announce - for library review and release announcements But we feel the need for an additional list. This list, Boost-Interest, will be an announcement list for items of interest to members of the Boost community. We see this as a low volume, moderated list on which commercial announcements are acceptable if relevant. We have written a proposed charter (below), but we invite comments and volunteers to moderate this list. Boost-Interest: Proposed Charter Boost-Interest is a moderated mailing list of announcements of interest to the Boost community. On topic messages will include announcements of books, magazine articles, papers, talks, seminars, products, tools, events, or conferences on advanced uses of C++, generic/generative/meta-programming, and, of course, the Boost libraries. Off topic will be discussions of any kind and job postings. If you are have comments on this list or its charter please send them to either or both Doug and Jon (addresses below). Also contact us if you are interested in moderating this list. Please do not ask for subscription information yet. We will announce details when we know them. -- Doug Gregor <gregod(a)cs.rpi.edu> Jon Kalb <Kalb(a)LibertySoft.com>

Hi, I found that at least part of the Boost code contains DOS style carriage returns. Why is that? This causes parsing errors on UNIX. Felix
