(de)serializing vector<const A*>
by Zoltan Szatmary 19 Jan '05

19 Jan '05

Hello could you help please? what is the easiest way to (de)serialize a member of type vector<const A*> (A being a base class)? Serializing is fine, but deserialization fails to compile since the vector deserialization code tries to deserialize a const A* pointer without const_cast-ing it (I guess). Thank you in advance Zoltan

mpl::sequence question

Hello meta programmers, I am looking for a way to extract a sub sequence of a given type list by identifying the begin/end of the sub sequence by the corresponding iterators <code> #include <boost/mpl/vector.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/for_each.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/less.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/greater.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/and.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/find.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/lambda_fwd.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/lambda.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/placeholders.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/if.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/copy.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/copy_if.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/remove_if.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/back_inserter.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/transform.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/push_back.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/int.hpp> // these namespace clauses are motivated from "C++ Template Metaprogramming" by D.Abrahams,A.Gurtovoy: namespace mpl = boost::mpl ; using mpl::placeholders; // But why do I still need to type 'mpl::_1' instead of plain '_1' ? // here is my type list typedef mpl::vector<int,double,std::string > my_types; // from_pos and to_pos are start and end iterators of the subsequence typedef typename mpl::find<my_types,int>::type from_pos; typedef typename mpl::find<my_types,std::string>::type to_pos; // all elements (types) of my_types should be copied into the new seuqence my_sub_types if their iterator (index) is inside the given interval (from_pos,to_pos) typedef mpl::copy_if<my_types, mpl::and_< mpl::greater< mpl::find<my_types,mpl::_1>::type, mpl::int_<from_pos> > , mpl::less< mpl::find<my_types,mpl::_1>::type, mpl::int_<to_pos> > >, mpl::back_inserter< mpl::vector<> > >::type my_sub_types; </code> This code (and lots of slight variations) does not compile. Why ? Any hint (conceptual,syntactical,etc.) is welcome ! regards,Martin. <martin(a)pasdzierny.de>

spirit (boost 1.32.0) grammar.ipp won't compile

Hello, All! I had tryed to compile some code with Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 14.00.2207 for AMD64 (from Server 2003 DDK) and got an error: C:\boost_1_32_0\boost\spirit\core\non_terminal\impl\grammar.ipp(308) : error C2784: 'std::mem_fun_t<_R,_Ty> std::mem_fun(_R (__cdecl _Ty::* ) (void))' : could not deduce template argument for 'T1 (__cdecl T2::* )(void)' from 'int (__cdecl boost::spirit::impl::grammar_helper_base<GrammarT>::* )(GrammarT *)' with [ GrammarT=boost::spirit::grammar<boost::archive::basic_xml_grammar<wchar_t>>::self_t ] Just changing std::mem_fun(&helper_base_t::undefine) to std::mem_fun1(&helper_base_t::undefine) resolves this problem. Modified successfully compiles under VC7.1, too. With best regards, Sergey.

Hello All. I'm interested in possibility of using boost library on ARM9 platform. Does anyone do it before? Any pitfalls and hidden dangers? What toolchain for compilation is better to use? Is there some performance drawbacks when using boost compared with pure C? -- Vyacheslav E. Andrejev System Architect, Excelsior, LLC

counting_iterator and iterator_adaptor problem
by Felipe Magno de Almeida 17 Jan '05

17 Jan '05

I'm trying to create an iterator from a class that is almost an iterator, it worked fine for const iterator with counting_iterator, but when I needed to dereference it, it complained about this: error C2440: 'return' : cannot convert from 'const xmlmanager::xml_basic_node<T>' to 'boost::iterator_facade<Derived,Value,CategoryOrTraversal,Reference,Difference>::reference' I think it is because it is still a const iterator... But I need a mutable iterator, and I have no clue in how to do it... I've tried the documentation, but it just explains what it is, but not ho to do it. The way I'm doing the iterator is: template <typename T> class xml_basic_node : public xml_basic_container<T>, public boost::iterator<boost::iterator_archetypes::readable_lvalue_iterator_t, xml_basic_node<T> > { public: // some specifics constructors bool operator == (xml_basic_node<T> const &n) const { // compares equality } xml_basic_node<T> &operator ++() { // advances... return *this; } }; and the iterator through counting_iterator: template <typename T> class acontainer { typedef boost::counting_iterator<xml_basic_node<T> > iterator; }; If someone could, please point me where I am getting wrong... I am days already trying to figure out how to do it... Sorry for the size of the mail and thanks in advance. -- Felipe Magno de Almeida UIN: 2113442 email: felipe.almeida@ic unicamp br, felipe.m.almeida@gmail com I am a C, modern C++, MFC, ODBC, Windows Services, MAPI developer from synergy, and Computer Science student from State University of Campinas(UNICAMP).
