Problem compiling Windows C++ code wit regex
by arno.schaefer＠sqs.de 05 Oct '04

05 Oct '04

Hi all, I try to compile some older C++ Code with your RegEx class and got in some source code problems with some ambiguity I believe between the std and the global namespace. I followed the include hierarchie starting from "boost/regex.h" down to "boost\config\stdlib\dinkumware.hpp" and here was my first problem, why this stdlib implementation was selected, I don't think, that this is the normal implementation for "VC++ 6.0 SP6" what I am using!? The errors I got are located in some windows system header and look like this only in one source file: : d:\programme\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\objidl.h(9901) : error C2668: 'memset' : ambiguous call to overloaded function d:\programme\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\objbase.h(435) : error C2668: 'memcmp' : ambiguous call to overloaded function d:\programme\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\objbase.h(459) : error C2668: 'memcmp' : ambiguous call to overloaded function Error executing cl.exe. Any idea what kind of define can cause this problem? I visit every included headerfile and look also in the expanded preprocessor code (*.i file) and didn't see exactly what happend, so have somebody an idea? Thanks for your help Arno

RE: [Boost-users] boost install with gentoo issue?

I used boost via the fedora rpms, and that was okay, maybe that will help you narrow down the problem (ie maybe it's a gentoo thing rather than a packaged boost thing).

Well, more likely my mistake, ive been up awhile.. I installed the boost libs onto my gentoo machine with emerge. I then added -lboost_regex to my linker flags..thats it. When I run my app, it hangs, I think when waiting on pulling data of off a UDP socket. Though I cant tell, I'm about to crash and its been one of those days. But I do know everything is back to normal when I take -lboost_regex out of the flags again. I know I'm awfully vague due to lazy/tiredness, but does this ring a bell with anyone? I've installed boost the traditional way (bjam) on other linux distros before without any issue, but ive never tried emerge before.

C++ Parsing - oops
by Foster, Gareth 03 Oct '04

03 Oct '04

Hello John, Joel, I didn't mean to knock your work with that last email John, it might have come across badly, it was meant more as a compliment to spirit and a reference to the fact that it 'appears' to fit the bill for what I want to do better, not to bash regex, I like regex too. For the record it needn't be 'perfect' indexing of the C++ code, I don't mind if I get two hits for the same classname for example. I used regex for a tool to index the C++ and C files themselves, so I could quickly search for file names using regular expressions, it works great! So thank you both, no offence caused I hope. So, will spirit be the best way then? Glad to hear its already a part of boost btw, congratulations mate. Cheers!

It depends what you want to do: if you want to use a "real" C++ parser then you will also have to preprocess the code (including the includes) and then parse the code. In theory this gives you a "perfect" result, but only if you know what include paths to use, and what predefined macros should be set (think about conditional code blocks). Regexes on the other hand, don't require you to preprocess the code, but can get confused by macros and the like. So you have to choose the way that best meets your expectations, and live with the defects either which way ;-) To solve your problem BTW, why not scan through the file for line starts (keeping count obviously!), and at each line start see if it's also the start of the regex you are interested in (one that matches a class definition for example), if you do this don't forget to either: prefix your expression with \A or Pass the match_continuous flag to regex_search, Either will anchor the search at the start of the line you are checking, and prevent the whole text being searched.

Re: Boost:regex and C++ Parsing - Spirit!

Wow, I just read through the 1st few pages of the spirit docs, and I can safely say, that is as close to naked women as C++ code will ever be, its such a sexy idea. One library, and you can parse any sort of config file, code or anything! Amazing. Well, any lingering desire to use regex for my pet project has now left the building, I can't wait to have a play with spirit. When will it be a part of boost? Is it worth installing it seperately (I'd hate to do that and have a new boost appear the day after). Also, reading this made up my mind that I should get a nice magazine about STL and C++ matters, can anyone recommend one (UK based preferable, but all sugestions welcome). Interetsing stuff, thank you all! Gaz

Hi to all. Sorry for my English. I'm trying to use a boost::multi_array as a private member of a class. How I can specifying the number of elements for every dimensions into the constructor? #include <iostream> #include "boost/multi_array.hpp" using namespace std; typedef boost::multi_array<int, 2> table; class X { public: X(); ~X(){}; // ... void do_something(); private: table tab; boost::array<table::index, 2> dims; }; X::X() { dims = {{3, 5}}; // fails table(dims); } int main() { X x; x.do_something(); system("PAUSE"); return 0; } Thanks to all.

How to inherit from boost::multi_array
by Thomas Mensch 02 Oct '04

02 Oct '04

Dear List, I am using boost 1.31.0 on Linux (with gcc 3.3.2) I would like to create a 2D array class, which inherits from boost::multi_array<double, 2> class. However I have problems with the copy constructor of my class Array. Below is the code, which I am trying to run. #include <boost/multi_array.hpp> class Array : public boost::multi_array<double,2> { public: Array (void) : boost::multi_array<double, 2> () {} Array (const int nrow, const int ncol) : boost::multi_array<double, 2> (boost::extents[nrow][ncol]) {} Array (const Array& other) : boost::multi_array<double, 2> (other) {} ~Array (void) {} Array& operator= (const Array& rhs) { if (&rhs != this) { boost::multi_array<double, 2>::operator= (rhs); } return *this; } }; /* class Array */ I guess that I forget to provide some information to my derived class, but I cannot find which one. Is there a way to simply inherits from boost::multi_array? Many thanks in advance, Thomas

[serialization1.32/vc7.1]: What's wrong with this class??
by Francis ANDRE 02 Oct '04

02 Oct '04

Hi I got a access violation on 0x00000000 with the class DDD but I cannot figure out what's wrong When the symbol NO_EXCEPTION is defined, the member acccode is set to an instance of ACCCODE and the serialization is working fine. But when this symbol is undefined, one gets the exception. I am suspecting the input serialization to bypass the loading of the member FIELD* field (which is following the "acccode" member) which leads to an exception when the next member DISP* disp is loaded but I have no way to check it out any idea??

Boost 1.30 with g++ 3.4
by Ben Hutchings 02 Oct '04

02 Oct '04

I have an existing body of code using some parts of Boost 1.30 (Bind, Function, Regex, Thread, and some utilities) and compiled using VC++ 7.1 on Windows. I now need to build with g++ 3.3 or 3.4 on Linux as well, and for various reasons I would prefer to use 3.4. Boost 1.30 predates g++ 3.4 by some way and I know that it won't all work without changes. However, neither will 1.31, and 1.32 has still not been released. I would rather not upgrade to either of these in case they break the existing Windows build. Are there any known bugs or other problems in the above-mentioned libraries from Boost 1.30 when used with g++ 3.4, and if so, any known fixes for them? (Assume I'm using Boost 1.30.2 - I might still have 1.30.0 but upgrading to 1.30.2 should be low-risk.) Ben.

Are BOOST_BUILD_PATH && BOOST_ROOT necessary?
by Steven T. Hatton 01 Oct '04

01 Oct '04

>From reading the documentation on boost.org, I have gotten the impression I don't need to set $BOOST_BUILD_PATH and $BOOST_ROOT. I'm more than a little confused about how I should use the boost libraries. Part of this comes from the fact that it is not clear to me exactly where the demarkation is between using the build system to build boost, and using it to build my own programs. Some of my confusion comes from the appearant change in configuration requirements described in the documentation. It is suggested I don't need the environment variable used with earlier releases. One of these variables is $BOOST_ROOT, which the documentation used as an example of how to build boost. That example was exactly what I successfully (I believe) build the libraries with. I'm using SuSE Linux 9.1 on a P4 box. Some basic questions are these: When I downloaded and built boost, I first fetched the source for bjam. This is the name of the file I downloaded: boost-jam-3.1.10.tgz It compiled quite nicely, and I copied the resulting bjam jam mkjambase and yyacc to a location in my path. Are there anything other things such as configuration files I need to reside with the binary executables? Are there necessary configuration file that I need to have visible to these programs, even if they are not colocated? I then build boost with the command: bjam --prefix=$BOOST_ROOT "-sTOOLS=gcc" install after setting my BOOST_ROOT the way I wanted it. That resulted in two directories being placed in $BOOST_ROOT/ one is called $BOOST_ROOT/include/ the other is called $BOOST_ROOT/lib/. Under $BOOST_ROOT/include/ I have <path>/boost-1_31/boost/ which contains dozens of header files. I added $BOOST_ROOT/include/boost-1_31 to my $INCLUDE_PATH, and $BOOST_ROOT/lib to my $LIBRARY_PATH and $LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables. Is this the correct way to configure my system to use boost? Is there anything else I need to do in order to compile my programs against the boost headers and libraries? Will the boost libraries work as well as other, comperable libraries using autotools rather than bjam? Are there any special accommodations I need to make in order to use boost with the gnu build tools? Do I need to do anything special to use boost with bjam that does not involve placing files in my current project directories? For example, do I need to provide a global configuration file of some kind? Is it a preferred option, even if not strictly required? There is much remaining in the source directory where I compiled boost. Is that something I need to also put in an accessible place on my system? If so, what so I need to put where, and how to I modify my environment variable to facilitate its use? -- Regards, Steven

BOOST_CHECK_CLOSE apparent misbehavior
by Ross Boylan 01 Oct '04

01 Oct '04

I get the following error Specification_test.cc(22): error in "specsimple": difference between spec(i, j){0.206788} and results[k]{0.206788} exceeds 1e-05% The numbers agree to all printed digits. I get a maximum relative error (assuming the printed values are rounded from extremes)*(see footnote) of .000001/.206787 = 4.8e-6 < 1e-5. Even doubling this is under the tolerance. As I read the documentation, this should pass. 1e-6 tolerance produces a lot more discrepancies; 1e-4 says they are all OK. Have I misunderstood something, or is something funny going on? In particular, the "%" after "1e-5" in the error message suggests the tolerances are supposed to be in percentage terms, i.e, 1e-5 implies a real tolerance of 1e-7. That would explain things, but I see nothing in the documentation to suggest the tolerance value is a percent. (Well, the docs do say the tolerance can be an integer.) The relevant line is BOOST_CHECK_CLOSE(spec(i, j), results[k], tol); All relevant quantities are doubles. It may be relevant that the program under test includes <cmath>. Debian package libboost-dev 1.31.0-7 on an Athlon system. # g++ --version g++.real (GCC) 3.3.4 (Debian 1:3.3.4-6sarge1) Linux kernel 2.4.26 * In fact, the results value is coded as 0.2067880 in the program, so my calculation likely gives double the possible discrepancy.

I also was going to say Joel, you ought to moan about the description of spirit in the docs, I can see it is there in the list of libraries now, and whilst it probably does describe what the library does, it doesn't do it in a way that is very identifiable for those who don't know about the subject, I just plain missed it, despite the fact that I was looking to parse C++. spirit <file:///C:/boost/boost_1_31_0/libs/spirit/index.html> - LL parser framework represents parsers directly as EBNF grammars in inlined C++, from Joel de Guzman and team. Why not something like ... spirit <file:///C:/boost/boost_1_31_0/libs/spirit/index.html> - A customisable framework for parsing any syntax. You will know what I mean and how to describe it properly etc I'm sure. Just a thought :) Gaz

Boost:regex and C++ Parsing - Clarification
by Foster, Gareth 30 Sep '04

30 Sep '04

Hello, Thank you Caleb and Hartmut for your replies. You both seem to think regex is a bad way to go, I will explain better what I want to write just to be clear. I want to write a tool (cli probably) where I can say, here you go, here is a large folder full of code, go and parse it. I will store the results in XML format somewhere, then, I can do say, "<myapp> class someclass" and the program will go and find where that class is declared/defined using its database, saving me headache. So I thought I could use one of the C++ expat wrappers, and boost regex looked powerful enough to do the parsing if only I were handy enough with regular expression syntax. Anyway, I don't know if that better explanation will make any difference to you recommendations, I look forward to reading you opinions. Oh, and the example I looked at is here Hartmut: http://boost.org/libs/regex/example/snippets/regex_search_example.cpp - that is what got me thinking I might actually be able to take on this challenge.

I don't know of any efforts going on regarding C++ parsing with the help of regex (non-authoritative answer). But there is the Wave library (Boost review is due shortly), which is a C/C++ preprocessor containing different C++ lexing components, which may be helpful for you during writing a class name extraction tool.

Hey mate, I've actually come across this, whilst it is really neat, it does require include paths, infact, probably a whole make system to resolve names etc, which I won't always have, so I decided against using it. If I'm wrong on that, please do let me know, since it would be ideal other than that one issue. Thanks!

Boost uBLAS
by Pascal Bauer 30 Sep '04

30 Sep '04

Hi Boost People, Have just a simple Question: 1. I use the uBLAS matrix class together with the MPI. Is it save to send matrices similar to std::vectors, by using &(Matrix(0, 0)) as the argument for the sending buffer? (Similar as one can do &(Vector[0]) for the std::vector? ) I just use matrix<double> in the code, without any further template specifications. Thanx P.

Boost.graph read_graphviz problems in CVS head
by Jeffrey Holle 29 Sep '04

29 Sep '04

I attempted to switch from boost_1_31_0 to the CVS head available on Sun Sep 26 20:25:26 PDT 2004. My application uses read_graphviz to read the attached file. When built with the CVS head boost and run, I get the message "parse error" and a segment fault. When build with boost 1_31_0 and run, it works fine. digraph Components { node [ shape = record ]; size="6,6"; 0[label="0",type="Component"]; 1[label="1",type="Component"]; 2[label="2",type="Component"]; 3[label="3",type="Component"]; 4[label="4",type="Component"]; 5[label="5",type="Component"]; 0 -> 1[type="Association"]; 1 -> 4[type="Association"]; 4 -> 0[type="Association"]; 2 -> 5[type="Association"]; }

Boost:regex and C++ Parsing
by Foster, Gareth 29 Sep '04

29 Sep '04

Hello, I have a couple of questions, firstly, how might I extend the example for parsing C++ code for class names so that it records the line number on which the class is defined? I thought maybe I could extend the regular expression so that it has "|(\n)" at the end, or maybe there is another way. In any case I am not sure if that is the correct way to extend the regex and I am unsure how to check the regex_match result to see if it was a new line character I encountered or a class name. Secondly, are there any efforts anywhere to parse C++ for other keywords by this approach? Many thanks for any help or hints on this, for the record I am really impressed with boost, a while ago, I might have said I didn't want the depandancy, but now I'd put up with that any time, good luck getting boost work into the next C++ standard, it's great!

Thread: SUN forte7 64 bits compilation error
by Maxime Larose 29 Sep '04

We have used the boost thread library in 32 bits for more than a year. Congrats, it works like a charm. We recently moved our product to Solaris 9 64 bits and now we get compilation errors. (We use forte7.) CC -c -I/BINARIES/sol9/opt/boost_1_30_0 -I../../../ -Qoption CC -xcomdat -mt -fast -xarch=v9 -DBOOST_HAS_THREADS -o sunpro/libboost_thread/condition.o ../src/condition.cpp "../../..//boost/limits.hpp", line 35: Error: Multiple declaration for std::numeric_limits<long long>.

(We've had the warning for the longest time.) I am no boost expert, but that seems to have taken care of the problem: the library works fine as far as I can tell.

Boost Variant and std::map recursion
by Caleb Epstein 29 Sep '04

29 Sep '04

I'm trying to use Boost.Variant to model a recursive data structure than can be either a scalar value, vector or map. My code works fine on GCC and VC7.1 but I just now installed Intel C++ 8.1 and am seeing this error: /opt/intel/include/c++/utility(48): error: incomplete type is not allowed _Ty2 second; // the second stored value ^ detected during instantiation of class "std::pair<_Ty1, _Ty2> [with _Ty1=const std::string, _Ty2=boost::recursive_variant_]" at line 111 of "bencode.hpp" compilation aborted for bdecode.cpp (code 2) I'm attaching the code, but the crux of the offense seems to be the recursive variant as the second part of the std::map template: /// The field_t is the basic building block; you can use it to /// represent a scalar value, list or dictionary typedef boost::make_recursive_variant< int_t, double, std::string, std::vector<boost::recursive_variant_>, std::map<std::string, boost::recursive_variant_> >::type field_t; Is icpc right to reject this? -- Caleb Epstein caleb.epstein(a)gmail.com

Is boost::to_upper() still a part of Boost?
by Debajit Adhikary 29 Sep '04

29 Sep '04

Is boost::to_upper() still a part of Boost? I did a grep on the Boost includes today and did not find to_upper. Has it been renamed or deprecated? boost.org does list to_upper() in its online docs (boost.org Home > Documentation > Nightly CVS), but I can't find it in the online docs for the current release or the (offline) documentation that comes with Boost.

Converting a Boost implementation of Lambda to VC8 so it compiles
by John Henry 29 Sep '04

29 Sep '04

The basics: New to boost. Converting a project from VC7 to VC8 that uses Lambda functionality. Other issue, (I didn't write this code... so still learning it). The problem: ----------- The original compiles in earlier compilers, but comes up with "Ambiguous" error in VC8. The original code doesn't deal with Issues with MSVC compiliers, this I found in my searches.
