Template class static boost::mutex initialization !?!?!
by Luc Bergeron 17 Oct '02

17 Oct '02

Hello everyone, i'm currently trying to implement a thread safe singleton using template. In the class I need to use a boost::mutex in order to protect access to the singleton pointer. The problem i'm currently encountering is that I need to initialize this static boost::mutex, but how !?!?!?! I tried using a pointer to a mutex and initialize it to null but that didn't work. I also tried to new it in the initialization but that failed too. :( Can someone help me on this one ??? Thanks in advance for any help. Luc. P.S. I'm using boost 1.29 :) P.S.S Here is my current class definition : (A link to where I got this implementation : http://www.drizzle.com/~scottb/publish/gpgems1_singleton.htm) template <typename T> class ThreadSafeSingleton { static T* d_ThreadSafeSingleton; static boost::mutex d_mutex; public: ThreadSafeSingleton() { assert(!d_ThreadSafeSingleton); int offset = (int)(T*)1 - (int)(ThreadSafeSingleton <T>*)(T*)1; d_ThreadSafeSingleton = (T*)((int)this + offset); } ~ThreadSafeSingleton() { assert(d_ThreadSafeSingleton); d_ThreadSafeSingleton = 0; } static T& GetSingleton(void) { boost::mutex::scoped_lock scoped_lock(d_mutex); assert(d_ThreadSafeSingleton); return *d_ThreadSafeSingleton; } static T* GetSingletonPtr(void) { boost::mutex::scoped_lock scoped_lock(d_mutex); return d_ThreadSafeSingleton; } }; template <typename T> T* ThreadSafeSingleton <T>::d_ThreadSafeSingleton = 0;

Not sure if this is the right place to send this, but here goes. About half way down the page, "rile" should be "rule".

64-bit support for integer_traits on MSVC
by John Harris (TT) 17 Oct '02

17 Oct '02

It seems that there should be a way to get 64-bit integer support into integer_traits.hpp on MSVC. It looks like the only real problem is the missing feature of class constants, and the fact that integer_traits is using enums (which can't hold const_max and const_min values). But if there were specializations on the detail::integer_traits_base for MS 64-bit types, the constants could be declared in-class as __int64 but defined out-of-class (still in the header), safely. It's not as pretty as BOOST_STATIC_CONSTANT, but wouldn't it work? john harris trading technologies

min & max #undef'd by config.hpp?
by Chris Russell 17 Oct '02

17 Oct '02

I'm confused. Using MS Visual Studio 6.0 w/the Intel 6.0 compiler (or the native VC compiler for that matter) the min and max macros are defined in the MS header WINDEF.H. It seems that config.hpp #undef's these (although I haven't figured out where or why yet). My environment seems to be perfectly happy using std::min/std::max. But what of all these MS-defined macros that use the undecorated min/max? I really don't want to go chasing these down in the MS + third-party headers if I can avoid it. Will someone please explain to me what's going on with config.hpp? - Thanks & regards Chris Russell --- simple example --- #include <windows.h> #include <boost/config.hpp> #if defined(min) #pragma message "min is defined" #else #pragma message "min not defined" #endif #if defined(max) #pragma message "max is defined" #else #pragma message "max not defined" #endif int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { int a = 10, b = 20; int c = min(a,b); int d = max(a,b); return 0; } Deleting intermediate files and output files for project 'test - Win32 Debug'. --------------------Configuration: test - Win32 Debug-------------------- Compiling...

integrating shared_ptr and building with gcc 2.7.2
by Nik Kolev 16 Oct '02

16 Oct '02

Hi everybody: I would like to make some of my classes reference counted, and I like what shared_ptr offers. The problem is (or is it really?) that I am building (have to) with gcc 2.7.2. The gcc.h header file which is part of the shared_ptr library does not like versions of gcc prior to 2.9.0. I would greatly appreciate it if somebody could point out a way to use the boost's shared_ptr technique and build with gcc prior to 2.9 Thanks, Nik
