[boost-build] building dependencies that use makefiles
by Mauricio Carneiro 24 Mar '14

24 Mar '14

I am using boost-build to build my project, but I have added a static library as a dependency that is built using GNU make. If I build this library manually, I can link it to my project in boost build using this simple Jamfile: lib hts : : <link>static <file>lib/lib.a : : <include>lib_headers ; Is there a way to tell boost-build to run make on the directory if the lib/lib.a is not present there? Thank you, Mauricio Carneiro, Ph.D. http://www.broadinstitute.org/~carneiro/

lexical_cast between double and string slow in Visual Studio 2013
by David Roberts 24 Mar '14

24 Mar '14

In Boost 1.54 I have noticed that lexical_cast from double to string and back is much slower in Visual Studio 2013 (Visual C++ 12) than it was in Visual Studio 2010 (Visual C++ 10). The following test program demonstrates the problem: #include <boost/lexical_cast.hpp> #include <string> int main (int, char **) { for (double count = 0.0; count < 1000000.0; count += 1.41) { std::string result(boost::lexical_cast<std::string>(count)); count = boost::lexical_cast<double>(result); } return 0; } It can be built at the Visual Studio command prompt using: cl /O2 /EHsc /DNDEBUG /I\some\path\boost-1_54 lexcast.cpp to give the program lexcast.exe. When built with Visual Studio 2013 this program takes about 10 seconds to run on my machine. When built with Visual Studio 2010 it takes about 3 seconds. Is this already a known issue? If not I can do a bit more investigation to narrow down why it's so much slower, but I don't want to waste my time if this has already been done. Thanks, David

About log example in visual studio 2008
by Xiande Cao 24 Mar '14

24 Mar '14

Hi, Experts, I was trying to run the log basic usage (libs/log/example/basic_usage/main.cpp) example in visual studio. And it crashed at line logging::add_console_log(std::clog, keywords::format = "%TimeStamp%: %Message%"); Stopped at // For compatibility with Boost.Log v1 we recognize %_% as the message attribute name const std::size_t len = end - begin; if (std::char_traits< char_type >::length(constants::message_text_keyword()) == len && std::char_traits< char_type >::compare(constants::message_text_keyword(), begin, len) == 0) { m_AttrName = log::aux::default_attribute_names::message(); } else { m_AttrName = attribute_name(log::aux::to_narrow(string_type(begin, end))); } Anybody has successfully run the example? Thanks! Regards, Triston

Boost and Android NDK
by Philipp Kraus 24 Mar '14

24 Mar '14

Hello, I would like to use Boost on Nexus tablets. I have used Boost at the moment on desktop systems (OSX, Linux, Windows), so my question can I use Boost e.g. random, asio, ublas, … on a Nexus? I would like to build Boost myself, so imho I must build Boost with the NDK compilers and linker, is this correct? Can I build Boost libs in "one shot"? So the NDK has got tools for arm-linux, mipsel-linux and so on. Does anybody can tell me any hopeful tips to use Boost with Android Thanks Phil

To: Boost...(a)lists.boost.org Hi @all, I have write a piece of code where I have a patter and a message and I have to fined the group name as well as match. With boost I am able to find the matches but *Is there a way to get a list or whatever of named captures/groups? * *I have check with re2 its present there but boost is much faster than re2.With glib also we dont have option for capturing group.. *

Re: [Boost-users] [Boost][Range] Immutable range
by Albert Yiamakis 22 Mar '14

22 Mar '14

Hello, Thanks for reply. However, the second method of extending a range: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/range/doc/html/range/reference/ex… states that specializing both metafunctions is necessary. In particular this: https://gist.github.com/Kojirion/9714131 fails to compile. It will compile - and produce correct result - by commenting out all lines (ie defining a mutable iterator, which really isn't...) Albert

[Boost][Range] Immutable range
by Albert Yiamakis 22 Mar '14

22 Mar '14

Hello, As far as I can tell from the documentation, it is not possible to create a range with const iterators only. Is this correct? Would it not make sense to have such a range that can be used with non-mutating algorithms only? Albert

Bind to a member's class method.
by Konrad Rybacki 21 Mar '14

21 Mar '14

Hi, I am rather beginner at boost - I am trying to achieve functionality similiar to property getter/setter from managed languages like C#. I have written the following code: #include "boost\lambda\bind.hpp" #include "boost\variant.hpp" #include "boost\optional.hpp" #include <iostream> #include <map> class Test { public: boost::optional<boost::variant<int, std::string>> m_value; }; int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { Test t1, t2; auto b1 = boost::lambda::bind(&Test::m_value, boost::lambda::_1); auto b2 = boost::lambda::bind(Test::m_value::get_value_or, boost::lambda::_1, "empty"); b1(t1) = "Test value"; std::cout << b2(t1); // "Test value" std::cout << b2(t2); // Should be "empty" return 0; } Unfortunately the compilers says: boost_tests.cpp(32): error C3083: 'm_value': the symbol to the left of a '::' must be a type boost_tests.cpp(32): error C2039: 'get_value_or' : is not a member of 'Test' boost_tests.cpp(22) : see declaration of 'Test' boost_tests.cpp(32): error C2065: 'get_value_or' : undeclared identifier boost_tests.cpp(32): fatal error C1903: unable to recover from previous error(s); stopping compilation I'd like to create a bind to Test::m_value.get_value_or() function with the first parameter set to "empty" - any ideas how to achieve that? Regards, Konrad.

passing pointer as function arg using boost::bind
by Lane 21 Mar '14

21 Mar '14

I'm having a problem passing a pointer as an arg via boost::bind and was hoping anyone could help out. I was able to pass 'a' just fine, but the second arg 'b' I'm having a problem with. Here is what I have. -- namespace NS { class MyThread { int doIt(NS::A a, B *b); // ... A a; B *b = new B(); NS::MyThread f_thread; boost::thread workerThread(boost::bind(&NS::MyThread::doIt, &f_thread, boost::ref(a), boost::ref(b))); Any help much appreciated.

Can you store unique_ptrs in a spsc_queue?
