thanks brian and aleksey....well i installed the latest beta of visual studio 2005 instead of my mvc 6.0. It did get rid of the block scoping issues and many other compiling issues i was facing. I had to replace the apply_if with eval_if everywhere. could understand the exact technicalities of that, but read it from some post on the forum and just followed it..... now, i got different issues though....everything compiles perfect but i get like a million linking issues.......... the details are as follows: HelloWorld_GameApp.obj :error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _memcpy_s

boost::thread maybe have bug.
by 蹬三轮的 03 Nov '04

03 Nov '04

Recently, I download boost 1.31.0 and compile it with Visual studio.net 2003. But the code below can't work properly: class A { public: A() { printf("constructor.\n"); } ~A() { printf("destructor.\n"); } void operator () () { } }; int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { A a; boost::thread t(a); t.join(); } In my system, it generate the message like this: D:\thread\Debug>thread.exe constructor. destructor. destructor. destructor. destructor. destructor. destructor. Who can tell me what's wrong with boost or something else? -- Ride tricycle around the world.

Boost::Regex - bug work-around...?
by Michael Starling 02 Nov '04

02 Nov '04

Hi there... I've been trying to implement some routines using the Boost library, primarily with the excellent RegEx library. Everything was working well enough in small tests, but when I tried running the routines on many patterns, my program would crash (it performs various pattern matching and search-and-replaces in multiple text files). I was able to determine that the crashes came on the calls to regex-related functions (though it tended to be a little unpredictable as to when, depending on the set of files I gave it). I tried changing my project settings (I use VC6, btw) to link with "debug" libraries instead of the standard ones (eg. "Debug Multithreaded"), and ran the program again, and everything worked perfectly. Unfortunately... I don't want to have my program running with all-debug libraries for performance and size reasons. However, is it possible to have my link-settings set to use standard libraries as before, but for the stuff that uses the regex library, to use a debug ".lib" file? Or... in the 'bjam' process, is it possible to say something to the effect of "when compiling the regex libraries, turn off compiler optimizations", so I can get a standard library that should work...? Hopefully that'll make sense... :P Thanks for your time, Mike.

Request for data-member smart pointer
by Oleg Fedtchenko 02 Nov '04

02 Nov '04

Hi, Is any interest in using *member_ptr* smart pointer (e.g. for the tasks described at http://boostoleg.narod.ru/examples.htm) ? The proposed smart pointer member_ptr is described at http://boostoleg.narod.ru/member_ptr.html Oleg Fedtchenko thread entry http://lists.boost.org/MailArchives/boost/msg72943.php

boost::mpl::apply2
by Greg Emerson 02 Nov '04

02 Nov '04

Hi, I am using VC++ 7.1 and getting an internal compiler error when compiling in DEBUG mode: boost\mpl\aux_\preprocessed\plain\apply.hpp(50) : fatal error C1001: INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR. This is at the declaration of boost::mpl::apply2 This does not happen when compiling in RELEASE mode. When doing a full build, two files cause this error, say X.cpp and Y.cpp. If I first clean the build and compile X.cpp then Y.cpp, only Y.cpp will generate the error. Ditto for reversing the order. Has anybody else seen this inexplicable (to me) behavior? Thanks, Greg

uBLAS for signal processing?
by Paul Baxter 02 Nov '04

02 Nov '04

I'm looking for a vector/matrix library that is suitable for relatively simple vector maths (+-*/, x=Ax+By) with occasional use of matrices (simple covariance calcs, matrix inversion). My main concerns are being able to optimise for speed by being able to capitalise on vendor-tuned libs on a specific architecture(e.g. MKL, ATLAS ) and maintain portability across a wide range of platforms. I'm looking to support vectors and matrices of types float, double, complex<float> and complex<double>. uBLAS seems to support specification of a storage format that allows me to define/assume an underlying representation of contiguous floats/doubles (with stride info) suitable for typical C-optimised signal processing functions to be applied. (No doubt I will hide the signal processing functions behind an appropriate lightweight interface, but it is important to be able to avoid copies etc and get to hand-tuned FFTs etc that typically are only supplied for C interfaces.) Is uBLAS the right tool for the job? (http://itpp.sourceforge.net provides an idea of where I'd like to see a processing layer end up albeit it is GPL (commercial use a problem) and doesn't have a clear separation between the underlying matrix/vectors and the various types of processing functions) Some other questions and observations: 1) What is the state of the bindings aspect of uBLAS with Atlas et al (or is this a separate project that hasn't got quite the same impetus to it as the main uBLAS development.) 2) Is there any implementation of 'tiny' vectors and matrices that reduces the abstraction penalty of say 3x3 or say 8 element vectors when compared with C. Is this possible/desirable while maintaining the uBLAS interface? 3) At the moment from a users point of view I feel the ublas docs focus heavily on implementation detail and I haven't managed to find too much in the way of simple tutorial information (pointers appreciated) to encourage simplified usage. If uBLAS is the right way forward for me I would be happy to contribute to this documentation effort. (There is mention of newer post 1.32 docs - is this already being addressed?)

uBLAS past, present, and future.
by Daniel L Elliott 02 Nov '04

02 Nov '04

Hello, I am trying to better understand the current status of the uBLAS library. Below I have listed a few questions. Of course, any responses are completely off the record. We just need to get a better idea of the current state of uBLAS. Thank you, in advance, for any information you provide. - What is the history of uBLAS? What is the eventual goal? - What is the current status of uBLAS? How complete is it currently? Anything left unimplemented (Sparse stuff)? Should a project which relies upon uBLAS heavily *expect* to encounter bugs within uBLAS? - Is uBLAS expected to become a part of the C++ standard? - What advantages/disadvantages do you feel uBLAS has when compared to FORTRAN. Could it replace FORTRAN? Thank you to everyone for your time and effort on all BOOST libraries and for your answers. Sincerely, Dan Elliott

Variant class serialization

It is possible to serialize variant template class using boost serialization library? I couldn't do it directly, like this boost::variant<int, int, int> var; std::ofstream ofs("./out.xml"); boost::archive::xml_oarchive oa(ofs); oa << boost::serialization::make_nvp("variant", var); ofs.close();

Hello Im trying to get Boost (Test library) working with Visual Studio .Net 2003, but Im having trouble getting a simple test compiling. Ive followed the steps in "Getting started" guide and compiled and installed it. What changes do I have to make in VS2003 to get it working? -- Best Regards Kovarththanan Rajaratnam
