linking errors with VC8
by jhfjgfhjgf＠Safe-mail.net 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

Hello, I am using the current boost (1.35) from the SVN, built with Visual Studio 2008 in 32 bit mode. The debug build of my project works fine, but unfortunately there is a linker error when building my application with the release configuration. 1>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_iostreams-vc90-mt-s-1_35.lib' The boost library path is correct - and there is definitely no 'libboost_iostreams-vc90-mt-s-1_35.lib'. I build use using bjam: bjam --toolset=msvc-9.0 -j4 -sZLIB_INCLUDE=..\..\..\..\zlib-1.2.3 -sZLIB_SOURCE=..\..\..\..\zlib-1.2.3 link=static,shared debug release install bjam --toolset=msvc-9.0 -j4 -sZLIB_INCLUDE=..\..\..\..\zlib-1.2.3 -sZLIB_SOURCE=..\..\..\..\zlib-1.2.3 link=static,shared debug release clean What's wrong? Thank you -Daniel

[build] Creating MSVC .pdb files for static libraries
by Gary Kratkin 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

Hello, I'm building boost and would like to generate .pdb files for static library targets. How do I determine which dll or lib outer target is current from within an actions compile block? With that I could generate a pdb file name for /Fd. I'm working with VS2008 and boost 1_34_1 or 1_35 release branch. All help is greatly appreciated. Gary Kratkin

Install bug/workaround for 1.34.1 on cygwin.
by Greg Roach 27 Jan '08

27 Jan '08

I am trying to install boost 1.34.1 on a cygwin (x86, WinXP, NTFS) system. "make install" gives the following error: /boost_1_34_1/tools/build/v2/tools/stage.jam:424: in object(installed-shared-lib-generator)(a)4.run *** argument error * rule virtual-target.register ( target ) * called with: ( object(file-target)@1395 object(file-target)@1396 ) * extra argument object(file-target)@1396 /boost_1_34_1/tools/build/v2/build/virtual-target.jam:880:see definition of rule 'register' being called I've looked at line 424 of stage.jam. It is in the "else" block of an "if OS==NT" structure. I guess that it is wrongly detecting a linux OS - my OS is Windows. I don't know how to correct the code (I'm not familiar with this language), but by commenting out selected lines, I can force it to enter the NT block, and it all appears to work fine.

I'm also having the same problem after installing from the BoostPro Installer with VC9.

Building ASIO as a universal binary in Leopard
by Derrick Hathaway 27 Jan '08

27 Jan '08

I'm running OS X Leopard on an intel Macbook. I was able to muddle through getting 1.34.1 built universal. In order to build Boost universal, I followed the instructions I stumbled upon here: http://woldlab.caltech.edu/cgi-bin/mussa/wiki/OSXUniversalDependencies I modified it slightly to build with the OS 10.5 sdk. I have appended my user-config.jam file. I am interested in using ASIO, which depends upon Boost.System. Boost.System is not included in 1.34.1, but it is included in the ASIO download. I can build and have built system according to the instructions in the ASIO README, but these instructions result in an i386 only build. Any ideas how I can build and install Boost.System universal with 1.34.1? Or, is there a better way altogether? Thanks in advance.

Hi is their anyway for boost to allow only explicit conversion... like class MyInt { // some code inside.... operator int() {} }; myIntCalc(int, int); MyInt a, b; f = myInt(a, b); // compile error no implicit conversion. int x = boost::numeric_cast<int>(a); // k allow int y = static_cast<int>(b); // k allow.

[review] Review of Flyweight library started January 21 and still running!
by Ion Gaztañaga 26 Jan '08

26 Jan '08

Hi all, The formal review of Flyweight library started January 21 and will end January 30, we have a few nice reviews, but I'm sure that those who haven't reviewed it are also interested in the library ;-). The library solves quite a common programming pattern, is small and very well documented. So don't be afraid to try it! Information for reviewers: *Description:* Flyweights are small-sized handle classes granting constant access to shared common data, thus allowing for the management of large amounts of entities within reasonable memory limits. Boost.Flyweight makes it easy to use this common programming idiom by providing the class template flyweight<T>, which acts as a drop-in replacement for const T. *Online docs:* http://tinyurl.com/2sstyr http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/flyweight/libs/flyweight/index.html *Download:* http://tinyurl.com/hrdm6 http://www.boost-consulting.com/vault/index.php?&direction=0&order=&directo… *Notes:* 1) We've seen some suggestions in the mailing list for Flyweight. Joaquín has nicely explained a couple of issues that we'd like to address/discuss in the review: http://tinyurl.com/33ghtf http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/flyweight/libs/flyweight/doc/review_… 2) Flyweight needs Boost 1.35 elements because the library depends on libraries like Interprocess for some features/tests. Since SVN snapshot tarballs seem to be missing these days, those who want to try flyweight can download a working SVN-HEAD snapshot here: http://igaztanaga.drivehq.com/boost_trunk.tar.bz2 3) Serialization tests won't work. This feature is expected to work when some new features (discussed in the mailing list between Joaquín and Robert Ramey) are added in Boost.Serialization. Those are expected for Boost 1.36. What to include in Review Comments ================================== Your comments may be brief or lengthy, but basically the Review Manager needs your evaluation of the library. If you identify problems along the way, please note if they are minor, serious, or showstoppers. Here are some questions you might want to answer in your review: * What is your evaluation of the design? * What is your evaluation of the implementation? * What is your evaluation of the documentation? * What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library? * Did you try to use the library? With what compiler? Did you have any problems? * How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A quick reading? In-depth study? * Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain? And finally, every review should answer this question: * Do you think the library should be accepted as a Boost library? Be sure to say this explicitly so that your other comments don't obscure your overall opinion. Ion Gaztañaga - Review Manager -

[serialization] hash_map declaration problem
by Jan Boehme 26 Jan '08

26 Jan '08

Hi, I encountered problems while trying to serialize hash_maps which use pool allocators ( gcc: no member 'serialize' ). I had a look into "boost/serialization/hash_map.hpp" and realized a problem in the declaration of hash_map in here: BOOST_STD_EXTENSION_NAMESPACE::hash_map<Key, HashFcn, EqualKey, Allocator> should be BOOST_STD_EXTENSION_NAMESPACE::hash_map<Key, Value, HashFcn, EqualKey, Allocator> It seems that nobody used the hash_map with more than 4 template parameters together with boost::serialization before. It would be nice, if the following changes for "boost/serialization/hash_map.hpp" would be adopted into the repos. Cheers, Jan. --- /boost-trunk/boost/serialization/hash_map.hpp 2007-08-01 09:03: 26.000000000 +0200 +++ /boost/serialization/hash_map.hpp 2007-12-17 11:36:27.000000000 +0100 @@ -33,3 +33,4 @@ class Archive, - class Key, + class Key, + class Value, class HashFcn, @@ -41,3 +42,3 @@ const BOOST_STD_EXTENSION_NAMESPACE::hash_map< - Key, HashFcn, EqualKey, Allocator + Key, Value, HashFcn, EqualKey, Allocator > &t, @@ -48,3 +49,3 @@ BOOST_STD_EXTENSION_NAMESPACE::hash_map< - Key, HashFcn, EqualKey, Allocator + Key, Value, HashFcn, EqualKey, Allocator > @@ -55,3 +56,4 @@ class Archive, - class Key, + class Key, + class Value, class HashFcn, @@ -63,3 +65,3 @@ BOOST_STD_EXTENSION_NAMESPACE::hash_map< - Key, HashFcn, EqualKey, Allocator + Key, Value, HashFcn, EqualKey, Allocator > &t, @@ -70,3 +72,3 @@ BOOST_STD_EXTENSION_NAMESPACE::hash_map< - Key, HashFcn, EqualKey, Allocator + Key, Value, HashFcn, EqualKey, Allocator >, @@ -75,3 +77,3 @@ BOOST_STD_EXTENSION_NAMESPACE::hash_map< - Key, HashFcn, EqualKey, Allocator + Key, Value, HashFcn, EqualKey, Allocator > @@ -85,3 +87,4 @@ class Archive, - class Key, + class Key, + class Value, class HashFcn, @@ -93,3 +96,3 @@ BOOST_STD_EXTENSION_NAMESPACE::hash_map< - Key, HashFcn, EqualKey, Allocator + Key, Value, HashFcn, EqualKey, Allocator > &t,

Multiple templates singletons
by Hicham Mouline 25 Jan '08

25 Jan '08

Hi, I have a template class with 6 template arguments as : template <typename contractType, typename treeType, int n, enum1 rtype, enum2 qtype, enum3 vtype> class TreeImpl {}; I need to write partial specializations for the cases n=2, n=3, for 2 cases of rtype, 2 cases of qtype and 3 cases of vtype, therefore I will write 2*2*2*3 = 24 partial specializations. Any fully specialized template instance should be a singleton. I would like to find a way to store any instanciated full specialization in some common list, so that in other parts of the code, i can deal with the various singletons without having to write actual arguments n,rtype,qtype and vtype. I thought of having all these templates inherit from a template base class template <typename contractType, typename treeType> class TreeImplBase; Each specialization of these holds a static std::map< boost::tuple<int,enum1,enum2,enum3>, const TreeImplBase* >; which contains the list of the derived template classes. Any comments are appreciated, Perhaps this is a known design pattern, perhaps there is an easier way of doing this, perhaps there is a boost library which helps with this, regards,

BGL: Problem accessing property_map members
by James Jackson 25 Jan '08

25 Jan '08

Hi, I am trying to use the BGL to model a simple directed graph with internal edge properties. Following the example given in the documentation[1], I have done the following (with question-irrelevant padding removed): ------------------------------- #include <boost/graph/adjacency_list.hpp> #include <boost/property_map.hpp> typedef boost::property<boost::edge_weight_t, double> EdgeProperties; typedef boost::adjacency_list<boost::vecS, boost::vecS, boost::directedS, boost::no_property, EdgeProperties> NetworkGraph; typedef std::pair<int, int> Edge; NetworkGraph g(5); boost::add_edge(0, 1, g); boost::add_edge(0, 2, g); boost::add_edge(1, 3, g); boost::add_edge(2, 3, g); boost::add_edge(3, 4, g); boost::property_map<NetworkGraph, boost::edge_weight_t>::type weights = boost::get(boost::edge_weight_t(), g); weights[0] = 1.0; weights[1] = 1.0; weights[2] = 1.0; weights[3] = 1.0; weights[4] = 1.0; ------------------------------- Which all looks fairly kosher. However, attempting to compile this results in a error on each of the weights assignment lines: "error: no match for 'operator[]' in 'weights[0]' Using the syntax boost::put(weights, 0, 1.0) just moves this error inside a parameter_set template definition. Can anybody shed any light on this? For the record this is on MacOS X 10.5.1, with GCC 4.0.1 (i686-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1). Regards, James Jackson. [1] interior_property_map.cpp

BoostCon 2008 Now Open For Registration
by David Abrahams 25 Jan '08

25 Jan '08

Hi All, The 2nd annual Boost Conference has been scheduled for May 4-9 2008. Please see http://www.boostcon.com/registration for registration information. If you want to stay at the Aspen Meadows (highly recommended as it is within walking distance of the conference venue and was the site of great after-hours discussions in '07), it's especially important this year that you book your rooms early. Since, unlike last year, Aspen's airport will be open this May, demand for rooms has been heavy. In fact, the following week, which we tried to get, was snapped up by another group before we even had a chance to catch our breath, just weeks after BoostCon'07 ended. We'll be working hard on getting the program together for 2008 over the coming weeks. We hope to include many more Boost authors and contributors, and build in several more intensive library-specific sessions, to make 2008 better than ever. Please send any questions to the BoostCon planning committee at: organizers(a)boostcon.com. Those of you who didn't make it to BoostCon'07 may want to have a look at the photo gallery at http://boostcon.com/community/photos, peruse the 2007 program at http://boostcon.com/program, and check out the two trip reports mentioned here: http://boostcon.com/news/2007/Jul/16/yet-another-trip-report. See you in Aspen! -- The BoostCon Planning Committee

Problems using Boost.Threads
by anthony kelly 25 Jan '08

25 Jan '08

Hello Boost Users, I am trying to use Boost.Thread in my application. I am compiling on Windows for Windows using Cygwin GCC with the "no-cygwin" option. Boost.Build is far too complicated for my application, so I am using a simple Makefile. I don't mind whether I use Windows threads or POSIX threads, but I have tried both and I can't get either to work. Re: Windows threads, I have static linked to "boost_thread-gcc34-mt-1_34_1" (no plan to use unsupported tss), and I defined BOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB and BOOST_HAS_WINTHREADS, however I get a lot of error messages about pthread functions not found. Have you any idea why I get error messages about using pthread functions when BOOST_HAS_WINTHREADS is defined? Is there some other macro(s) which should be defined? Re: POSIX threads, I have static linked to "boost_thread-gcc34-mt-1_34_1" and "pthreadGC2" (pthreads-win32), and I defined BOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB and BOOST_HAS_PTHREADS, however I get an error message that nanosleep is not found. I read that nanosleep is part of libc, so I added "c" to my list of static libraries, which finds nanosleep, but then I receieve other errors which looks as though I am linked to multiple C runtimes. What is the correct approach to link nanosleep in this configuration? If you have any suggestion, please let me know! Thanks in advance for your time. Kind regards, Anthony P.S. Is there a resource which can tell me which are the prerequisite libraries for boost libraries (e.g. pthreads or winsock)? So far, I have had to guess appropriate libraries based on internet searches for the function names appearing in "undefined reference" errors, but this seems very clumsy!

[ublast] sparse matrix - resize with preserve
by Olivier Jouny 24 Jan '08

24 Jan '08

I would like to use the resize method of mapped_matrix with preserve = true but it does not work. By looking at the implementation, a comment says not implemented :-( Can you confirm ? If it's the case, does somebody has a work around ?

Storing types in a non-template class?
by Robert Dailey 24 Jan '08

24 Jan '08

Hi, I have a singleton class called InputRegistry. Before the class is used, the user must call: InputRegistry::Initialize(); I would like this function to take a parameter that defines the type of a critical section object, which is unknown at compile time (template). I need to store this type in my InputRegistry class so that the unknown critical section type can be constructed later. How can I do this without making InputRegistry a template class? If I make InputRegistry a template, that basically means I need to redesign the class, as the singleton pattern would not apply if it were a template class. I'm hoping boost can help here. Thanks in advance.

[Singleton] pre-review question
by Ovanes Markarian 24 Jan '08

24 Jan '08

Hello, I am currently evaluating boost.singleton for our application. I hope it is not too late to write a review. As I understood from the docs, Singleton instance is immediately (when all global and static variables are initilized) created. In our context we need singleton to be created on first request (as it is described in GoF). The problem is following: Our application must parse config file which is accessible after entering main and store the options/parameters parsed in a singleton class. If I initialize singleton immediately (before entering main) I can not parse command line options and have to trick around with some additional functions which do it for me (but a constructor would be a much better choice, when I try for the first time to access the singleton). Is that possible with the current implementation? I know I could overload operator-> and check that options are parsed, but I think this is a not so obvious scenario for everyone. With Kind Regards, Ovanes

cygwin buit boost libraries do not work
by Steven Woody 24 Jan '08

24 Jan '08

Hi folks, I have buit boost in cygwin followed instruction in the boost getting start documentation. it seemed successful and many libraries ( including dynamic and static ones ) were put into /usr/local/lib. I then try to compile a very simple example code listed as blow, which are a copy on the boost documentaion. #include <boost/regex.hpp> #include <iostream> #include <string> int main() { std::string line; boost::regex pat( "^Subject: (Re: |Aw: )*(.*)" ); while (std::cin) { std::getline(std::cin, line); boost::smatch matches; if (boost::regex_match(line, matches, pat)) std::cout << matches[2] << std::endl; } } What I did is, g++ -I/usr/local/include RegexSample.cpp -o RegexSample -L/usr/local/lib -lboost_regex but the resulting RegexSample.exe can not run properly -- it simply exist with an error code ( 53 ) and do nothing for me. My question is: is there anything different for Boost on Cygwin? The procedure I used to buid Boost on Cygwin is provided as below. Please check it can tell me if there is anything wrong. Thanks! --------- 1, build the bjam using './build.sh gcc' under the tools/jam/src directory and then copy bjam.exe to a place searchable; 2. 'bjam --builddir=~/tmp --toolset=gcc --layout=system --without-python install' ----------- -- woody then sun rose thinly from the sea and the old man could see the other boats, low on the water and well in toward the shore, spread out across the current.

Re: [Boost-users] Multiple templates singletons
by Hicham Mouline 24 Jan '08

24 Jan '08

I omited to show the definition of those templates TreeImplBase.They would have the map as a private member,as protected members, functions to insert instances in the map, called by the ctors of derived templates. I will look at boost::fusion thanks, ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ovanes Markarian" To: boost-users(a)lists.boost.org Subject: Re: [Boost-users] Multiple templates singletons Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2008 00:02:01 +0100 Hello! I have a question to this construct: template <typename contractType, typename treeType> class TreeImplBase; Each specialization of these holds a static std::map< boost::tuple<int,enum1,enum2,enum3>, const TreeImplBase* >; which contains the list of the derived template classes. How can you instantiate a pointer to the class temlate? Class template is an incomplete type. You will not be able to specify a pointer to it. I think you should use boost::fusion inplace. This lib, offers a compile time map (if you map the same time to an instance of it, use a fusion set), which can map a type to an instance. This is what you need. http://spirit.sourceforge.net/dl_more/fusion_v2/libs/fusion/doc/html/fusion… http://spirit.sourceforge.net/dl_more/fusion_v2/libs/fusion/doc/html/fusion… Any comments are appreciated, Perhaps this is a known design pattern, perhaps there is an easier way of doing this, perhaps there is a boost library which helps with this, Good Luck, Ovanes _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users(a)lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users

iostreams and serial ports help
by Rob Desbois 24 Jan '08

24 Jan '08

Hi, I'm a newcomer to boost and having trouble determining if what I want to achieve is possible. I want some sort of boost::iostreams object wrapping a serial port so that it conforms to the usual interfaces - this would be extremely useful not only for its use, but also to enable injection of a stringstream instance as a mock object when testing. It seems that the likely candidate for this is file_descriptor but I'm not entirely sure. First off, file_descriptor refines SeekableDevice, which a serial port isn't - does this mean that I can't do it? After trying to compile I realised that a SeekableDevice provides read, write and seek functions, nothing else. Am I seriously misunderstanding the point of boost::iostreams? If I am then can anybody point me in a better direction? My ultimate requirement is a serial port access class that looks just like a C++/boost iostream. I cannot use C++ iostreams directly as I require access to file-descriptor which is not available. Anyone able to help a lost person please? TIA, --rob

[function] using with CRTP

Hi, This is probably a novice template question. I am curious what I am doing wrong here, where I'm trying to get a function object holding a base member of a CRTP class. gcc 4.2.3 complains about: type/value mismatch at argument 1 in template parameter list for 'template<class Derived> template<template<template<class> class MHBase> template<class Derived> template<class> class MHBase> struct MHBase< <template-parameter-1-1> >::fooFO Any help appreciated! Thanks, Russell #include <boost/function.hpp> #include <iostream> class MHBAccessor { template<class> friend class MHBase; template<class Derived> static int foo(Derived& derived, int i) { return derived.foo_(i); } }; typedef boost::function<int (int)> FooFunc; template <class Derived> struct MHBase { Derived& derived() { return static_cast<Derived&>(*this); } int foo(int i) { return MHBAccessor::foo(this->derived(), i); } template <template <class> class MHBase > struct fooFO { fooFO(MHBase<Derived>& mhb) : mhb_(mhb) {} void operator()(int i) { mhb_.foo(i); } private: MHBase<Derived>& mhb_; }; FooFunc getFooFunc() { FooFunc ff = fooFO<MHBase<Derived> >(*this); return ff; } }; class Put : public MHBase<Put> { friend class MHBAccessor; int foo_(int i) { return i; } }; int main(int argc, char **argv) { Put put; std::cout << put.foo(123) << std::endl; FooFunc ff = put.getFooFunc(); std::cout << ff(456) << std::endl; return 0; }

iostreams::stream: flush doesn't work but endl does
by Rob Desbois 23 Jan '08

23 Jan '08

Hi all, I've created my own iostreams device (for a serial port) which for debugging purposes prints out calls to read()/write(). I'm constructing a stream on the device like this: serial_device serial("/dev/ttyS3", serial_device::Baud38400); stream<serial_device> s(serial); If I do this: s << "hello world" << endl; serial.write() is called and does its debug output, but with this: s << "hello world\r" << flush; I get nothing despite using 'flush'. I've also tried calling s.flush() manually but get the same lack of effect. How come flush isn't working as it should here? TIA, --rob -- Rob Desbois

Solve linear system (tridiagonal matrix)
by nisha kannookadan 23 Jan '08

23 Jan '08

Hi everybody I need to solve a linear system Ax = b, where A is a tridiagonal matrix, is there an easy way to do it? I programmed an algo, which computes the inverse of the tridiagonal matrix with the usmani-algo and uses prod then, but this is quite time intense. I want to use the lapack bindings, but I dont get along with it. Im bit confused, if I need to install something additional to it, the way I tried out gesv, its not working and I get error msgs. I searched through out the www, but its hard to find good info. If somebody has already the code to solve linear equations with lapack, I would thankful, if he could post it here.

Property Tree
by Glasgow, Craig C 23 Jan '08

23 Jan '08

Hello I'm using boost property_tree with the variant data type: typedef boost::variant<std::string, std::vector<std::string> > registry_entry; i.e I want to store either strings or vectors of strings at each key node. I'm using the inserters and extractors at the bottom of this email (similar to those included in the custom_data.cpp in the property_tree/examples folder). Does anyone know how I can write the tree out in xml format? The provided write_xml method can only handle property trees of string data type. Is there anyway to either tweak the code (e.g. modify the inserter and extractors) or wrap the variant class such that property_tree::write_xml will correctly render the tree as xml? Regards Craig // Custom extractor - converts data from boost::any to Type template<class Type> struct pt_extractor { inline bool operator()(const boost::any &data, Type &extracted, const std::locale &loc) const { extracted = boost::any_cast<Type>(data); return true; // Success } }; // Custom inserter - converts data from Type to boost::any template<class Type> struct pt_inserter { inline bool operator()(boost::any &data, const Type &to_insert, const std::locale &loc) const { data = to_insert; return true; // Success } }; // Custom property_tree traits - using custom extractor and inserter template<class Ch> struct pt_traits { // Character type to be used by ptree keys typedef Ch char_type; // Key type to be used by ptree typedef std::basic_string<Ch> key_type; // Data type to be used by ptree typedef boost::any data_type; // Extractor to be used by ptree template<class Type> struct extractor: public pt_extractor<Type> { }; // Inserter to be used by ptree template<class Type> struct inserter: public pt_inserter<Type> { }; // Key comparison function inline bool operator()(const key_type &key1, const key_type &key2) const { return _stricmp(key1.c_str(), key2.c_str()) < 0; } }; typedef boost::property_tree::basic_ptree<pt_traits<char> > pt_rep; typedef boost::variant<std::string, std::vector<std::string> > registry_entry; ***************************************************************************** This communication is sent by the Standard Bank Plc or one of its affiliates The registered details of Standard Bank Plc are: Registered in England No. 2130447, Registered Office 25 Dowgate Hill London EC4R 2SB Authorised and Regulated by the Financial Services Authority.

asio socket options
by Eugene M. Kim 23 Jan '08

23 Jan '08

Greetings, On UNIX-like platforms, boost::asio::detail::socket_option::{boolean,integer} templates are very useful when defining socket option classes for non-standard options that are supported by the platform, e.g.: namespace so = boost::asio::detail::socket_option; typedef so::boolean<SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR> reuse_addr; typedef so::boolean<SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEPORT> reuse_port; typedef so::boolean<SOL_SOCKET, SO_ERROR> pending_error; typedef so::integer<SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDLOWAT> send_low_watermark; typedef so::integer<SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVLOWAT> recv_low_watermark; typedef so::boolean<IPPROTO_IP, IP_HDRINCL> include_header; typedef so::boolean<IPPROTO_IP, IP_DONTFRAG> do_not_fragment; typedef so::integer<IPPROTO_IP, IP_TOS> type_of_service; typedef so::integer<IPPROTO_IP, IP_TTL> time_to_live; ... and so on. It is not suitable to include these non-standard options in the asio library itself, but it seems justifiable to move the boolean/integer templates out of boost::asio::detail and into boost::asio. Also, many socket options take a C struct as an argument, so a template for such options might be useful as well: template <int Level, int Name, class Value> class typed : public Value { typedef Value value; template <typename Protocol> int level(const Protocol &) const { return Level; } template <typename Protocol> int name(const Protocol &) const { return Name; } template <typename Protocol> value *data(const Protocol &) { return (value *)this; } template <typename Protocol> std::size_t size(const Protocol &) const { return sizeof(Value); } template <typename Protocol> void resize(const Protocol &, std::size_t s) const { if (s != sizeof(Value)) throw std::length_error("resizing fixed-length socket option"); } }; Then it becomes trivial to define and use such socket options: typedef typed<SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDTIMEO, struct ::timeval> send_timeout; typedef typed<SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVTIMEO, struct ::timeval> recv_timeout; send_timeout sndtimeo; sndtimeo.tv_sec = 1; sndtimeo.tv_usec = 0; Would this template be appropriate for inclusion in a future version of asio? Just my $.02. Cheers, Eugene
