Problems with MSVC-STLPORT toolset
by davlet_panech 03 Sep '02

03 Sep '02

Hello, I'm having problems building release 1.28 with MSVC 6/STLPort 4.5.3/bjam on Windows NT 4. It seems that bjam tries to make a very VERY deep directory tree which at some point becomes too large due to path name limitations. By looking at the trace messages it seems something is very wrong there :) -- the directory tree is modelled after the command line options with some of the options repeated with different values at different levels in the tree. For example the following target fails (and there a few cases similar to this one; so that nothing gets compiled): mkdir libs\regex\build\bin\libboost_regex.lib\msvc- stlport\stlport-iostream-on\debug-symbols-on\exception-handling- on\inlining-off\optimization-off\rtti-on\runtime-build-debug\runtime- link-dynamic\stlport-cstd-namespace-std\stlport-iostream-off ...failed MkDir1 libs\regex\build\bin\libboost_regex.lib\msvc- stlport\stlport-iostream-on\debug-symbols-on\exception-handling- on\inlining-off\optimization-off\rtti-on\runtime-build-debug\runtime- link-dynamic\stlport-cstd-namespace-std\stlport-iostream-off... Notice how the path includes both stlport-iostream-off and stlport- iostream-on components. The command line I was using: bjam \ -sTOOLS=msvc-stlport \ -sBUILD=stlport-iostream-on -sSTLPORT_4.5.3_PATH="h:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~1\VC98\INCLUDE\stlport" The MSVC-specific environment was set up correctly (MSVCDir, INCLUDE, LIB). The STLPORT_4.5.3_PATH points to the directory containing the STLPort headers. What am I doing whrong? Thanks, D.P.

[bind] does bind do overload resolution?
by Alex Henderson 02 Sep '02

02 Sep '02

Hi, I'd like boost::bind to use overloaded member functions, but get an internal compiler error. Does bind support overload resolution, or is my compiler at fault? (...or more likely the code!) system = C++Builder 5 (patched), Win2k, boost_1_28_0 example (simplified) code below Thanks, Alex //-------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- #include <string> #include <vector> #include <iostream> #include <boost/bind.hpp> //-------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- struct part { std::string name; int id; part(std::string name, int id) : name(name), id(id) {} bool is(int test) { return id == test; } // bool is(std::string test) { return name == test; } // uncomment for error }; //-------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- int main() { int x = 6; // swap comments here for error // std::string x("handle"); // swap comments here for error std::vector<part> parts; part a("top", 3); parts.push_back(a); part b("spout", 6); parts.push_back(b); part c("handle", 9); parts.push_back(c); std::vector<part>::iterator it = std::find_if(parts.begin(), parts.end(), boost::bind(&part::is, _1, x)); std::cout << it->name << std::endl; return 0; } //-------------------------------------------------------------------- -------

Question about scoped_ptr.hpp and config.hpp
by eldritchshadows 31 Aug '02

31 Aug '02

Is there a reason that scoped_ptr.hpp doesn't have config.hpp up at the top like shared_ptr.hpp? When I included it, it got rid of a lot of MSVC++ warnings. Nathan

shared_ptr and make_indirect_iterator
by Richard Wolf 31 Aug '02

31 Aug '02

Hi I'm trying to use make_indirect_iterator on a container of shared_ptrs as follows: #include <boost/iterator_adaptors.hpp> #include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp> #include <list> #include <algorithm> #include <functional> using std::mem_fun_ref; using std::mem_fun; using std::list; using boost::shared_ptr; using std::for_each; using boost::make_indirect_iterator; class A { public: void f(){} }; int main() { list<A *> List1; list<shared_ptr<A> > List2; // This works for_each(make_indirect_iterator(List1.begin()), make_indirect_iterator(List1.end()), mem_fun_ref(&A::f)); // This doesn't work for_each(make_indirect_iterator(List2.begin()), make_indirect_iterator(List2.end()), mem_fun_ref(&A::f)); } The second use of for each fails to compile (error messages at the end of the message). Is it possible to do this? Am I doing something wrong? I'm using gcc v 2.95.2. and the QNX OS.

msvc-stlport build problems
by David Resnick 30 Aug '02

30 Aug '02

Hi, I'm trying to build boost version 1.28.0, msvc-stlport build, using the following line: bjam -sTOOLS=msvc-stlport -sstlport-iostream=on -sSTLPORT_PATH=c:\etc I have no problems building the msvc build. It seems to me that the problem has to do with the MS Platform SDK that I have installed. When compiling STLPort (version 4.5.3) I had similar warnings. 2 work arounds that I found there were either to remove the platform SDK from the include enviroment variable, or (when I found it) to define _STLP_NEW_PLATFORM_SDK in stl_user_config.h. I've tried variations of that with compiling Boost, but nothing makes a difference. I've included the error messages that I get for most files. ---------------------------- CUT HERE ---------------------------- vc-C++ libs\regex\build\bin\libboost_regex.lib\msvc-stlport\debug\runtime-link- dynamic\stlport-cstd-namespace-std\stlport-ios tream-off\stlport-version-4.5.3\c_regex_traits.obj c_regex_traits.cpp C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\VC98\include\winbase.h(1011) : error C2733: second C linkage of overloaded function 'InterlockedIncremen t' not allowed C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\VC98\include\winbase.h(1009) : see declaration of 'InterlockedIncrement' C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\VC98\include\winbase.h(1018) : error C2733: second C linkage of overloaded function 'InterlockedDecremen t' not allowed C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\VC98\include\winbase.h(1016) : see declaration of 'InterlockedDecrement' C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\VC98\include\winbase.h(1026) : error C2733: second C linkage of overloaded function 'InterlockedExchange ' not allowed C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\VC98\include\winbase.h(1023) : see declaration of 'InterlockedExchange' "cl" /Zm400 -nologo -GX -c -DBOOST_REGEX_NO_LIB=1 -DBOOST_REGEX_STATIC_LINK=1 -D_STLP_NO_SGI_IOSTREAMS=1 -D_STLP_DO_IMP ORT_CSTD_FUNCTIONS=1 -D_STLP_DEBUG=1 -D_STLP_DEBUG_UNINITIALIZED=1 -D_STLP_NEW_PLATFORM_SDK=1 /Z7 /Od /Ob0 /GX /GR /MDd -I "libs\regex\build" -I"C:\etc\boost_1_28_0" -I"c:\etc\STLport-4.5.3\stlport" -I"C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\VC98\include" -Fo"libs \regex\build\bin\libboost_regex.lib\msvc-stlport\debug\runtime-link-dyna mic\stlport-cstd-namespace-std\stlport-iostream-off\s tlport-version-4.5.3\c_regex_traits.obj" -Tp"libs\regex\build\../src\c_regex_traits.cpp" ...failed vc-C++ libs\regex\build\bin\libboost_regex.lib\msvc-stlport\debug\runtime-link- dynamic\stlport-cstd-namespace-std\s tlport-iostream-off\stlport-version-4.5.3\c_regex_traits.obj... ---------------------------- CUT HERE ---------------------------- Thanks in advance, David Resnick MobileSpear Inc.

BJam and XEmacs on WinXP
by Dan Muller 30 Aug '02

30 Aug '02

This may be a tad off-topic, but I couldn't find any reference to this relative to XEmacs, and the problem seems to be peculiar to bjam. If I try to run bjam under XEmacs, e.g. via M-x compile, M-x shell-command, or even from inside an XEmacs shell buffer (running CMD), I get the error "spawn: Invalid argument". More specifically, if I run it via shell-command, I get this: ===================== ...found 331 targets... ...updating 1 target... gcc-Archive-action ..\phys_sim\bin\libphys_sim.lib\gcc-nocygwin\debug\architecture-native\debug-symbols-on\inlining-off\optimization-off\profiling-off\rtti-on\runtime-build-debug\runtime-link-dynamic\threading-single\vtable-thunks-default\libphys_sim.lib spawn: Invalid argument ====================== ... which indicates that bjam is in fact starting, but has some problem. Or maybe the tools do. If I run it in the same directory from a regular command window, it works fine. I'm running XEmacs 21.4, with recently updated packages. The bjam executable was downloaded yesterday. (I'm trying to use it for something other than Boost, BTW.) The toolset I'm using is MinGW, the latest stable full-package release, with no package updates. Anyone have an idea what might be wrong? I'm getting tired of looking at my build output in a command window and then hunting for line numbers in my source code. :-)

problem with preprocessing library

RE: [Boost-Users] boost::any and operator ==
by Jim.Hyslop 29 Aug '02

29 Aug '02

> How do I compare two boost::any values for equality? How to I compare > two containers of boost::any's for equality? > > Why doesn't boost::any define this operator? There has to be > a reason. There is. boost::any can, quite literally, hold *anything*. In order to compare the objects being held, you must first know if they _can_ be compared. Consider: const char * initialMessage = "Snowflakes keep falling on my head"; void f() { boost::any multiA(42L); boost::any multiB(initialMessage); //... It doesn't make sense to compare the two 'any' objects. I suppose boost::any could coerce the pointer into a long, and then apply a comparison operator, but the results of that comparison would be meaningless. In order to compare the objects, you'll have to extract them from the any container using an any_cast. Which, of course, means you'll have to know the exact type of the object being held (or which type of a known set of types). -- Jim

Sorting a container of shared_ptr<T>
by alejandro_escalante_medina 29 Aug '02

29 Aug '02

Hello to everyone. I'm starting to take a look on Boost and was happy to find things like better smart pointers. Though, in my tests, I haven't been able to sort, say, a vector of shared_ptr without defining special comparators. I thought that the overload for the < operator would help me for that, but that operator compares pointers, not objects, so it doesn't do the work that I expected. I guess I'm not understanding this well. Could someone explain this to me? Saludos, Alex
