compiling boost using Intel C++ 8.0 under Windows
by Lars Schouw 13 Aug '04

13 Aug '04

I am havng problems building boost using the intel C++ 8.0 compiler. It looks as if bjam can't fine the icl.exe compiler executable itself. This file is installed under this directory C:\Program Files\Intel\CPP\Compiler80\Ia32\Bin Any ideas what I do wrong? I try this: run the iclvars.bat batch file. Then I use bjam like this: C:\dev\boost\boost_1_31_0_icc>bjam "-sTOOLS=intel-win32" "-sINTEL_VERSION=80" "-sINTEL_BASE_MSVC_TOOLSET=vc7.1" But when compiling I get these errors from each command to the compiler: /Zm800 -nologo -GX -c -DNDEBUG -DNDEBUG -DBOOST_DATE_TIME_POSIX_TIME_STD_CONFIG -DBOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK=1 /Ogity /O2 /Gs /Ob2 /GX /GR /MD /Op /Zc:forScope /Zc:wchar_t /Qwn5 /Qwd985 -Qoption,c,--arg_dep_lookup /Qansi_alias -D_NATIVE_WCHAR_T_DEFINED /Qvc7.1 -I"bin\boost\libs\date_time\build" -I"C:\dev\boost\boost_1_31_0_icc" -I"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\VC7\include" -Fo"bin\boost\libs\date_time\build\boost_date_time.dll\intel-win32\release\greg_weekday.obj" -Tp"C:\dev\boost\boost_1_31_0_icc\libs\date_time\build\../src/gregorian/greg_weekday.cpp" ...failed vc-C++ bin\boost\libs\date_time\build\boost_date_time.dll\intel-win32\release\greg_weekday.obj... vc-C++ bin\boost\libs\date_time\build\boost_date_time.dll\intel-win32\release\date_generators.obj '/Zm800' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.

Random Library
by Andy Tompkins 12 Aug '04

12 Aug '04

Hi, I have a question about the random library. I'm using vc7.1 and I'm getting a warning when I include the random library. The warning I get when I, #include <boost\random.hpp> is: d:\includes\boost_1_31_0\boost\random\linear_congruential.hpp(233) : warning C4244: 'return' : conversion from 'boost::uint64_t' to 'boost::int32_t', possible loss of data When I look at the file, rand48::operator() returns an int32_t, but lcf is defined with uint64_t. Thanks in advance for any help. Andy.

It's most likely that those exceptions are coming from the matching algorithms (regex_match/regex_search)? If so then it's because the combination of the particular regular expression, and the particular text being matched, were becoming "pathological", so an exception is thrown to prevent the match taking forever to obtain (regexes are NP-Hard to match in the worst case). Often these issues can be resolved by refactoring the regular expression, but you really need to track down which specific expression, against what specific text is causing the problem - try setting your debugger to break when an exception is thrown, and then work back up the stack to see what caused the issue.

uBLAS - How to use a range of a matrix row?
by Pascal Bauer 12 Aug '04

12 Aug '04

Hi, I have some (strange?) problems with the ublas: I'm writing a SPH-Code for fluids and brittle solids. I use a uBLAS matrix to store all the particle-Data. Now, since the SPH code itself includes a lot of physics, i wrote a "particle" class, that give me access to the values stored in the matrix in an intuitive way. As template argument, i'll give a matrix, so i do no have to take care about matrix internals. It looks somehow thatlike: template <typename T> class Particle { static T& SPHData; //Matrix where the values are stored typename T::size_type GID; //Particle ID (...) matrix_row<T> LData; // Proxy to the particle data vector_range<matrix_row<T> > Pos; // Position vector, for // calculations... (...) typename T::value_type& mass; // Reference to physical values... Particle(typename T::size_type ParticleID); // Constructor, needs // Particle ID } template <typename T> Particle<T>::Particle(typename T::size_type ParticleID) : mass(SPHData(ParticleID, MASS)) // Set the references... { LData.reset(SPHData, ParticleID); // OK, works fine... Pos.reset(LData, range(0, 2)); // Give strange error message: // (at the end of this mail...) } I tried different methods to get the Pos to the right place in my matrix, but if i use the "=" operator, i've got some strange run-time assertion errors. My thing is, that i'd like to have a range of a matrix_row or column, that i can use later for vector-operations.

Regex problem
by Evgeny Benediktov 12 Aug '04

12 Aug '04

Hello, I want to report a problem with Regex library. When extensive usage of regex_match and regex_search functions is done numerous times, then after several thousands iterations Regex library starts throwing "Regular expression too big" exception on the same regular expressions it worked perfectly with at several thousands previous iterations. Looks like Regex fails to do some vital clean up. If anyone saw this problem before, or has any suggestion about it, this may be very helpful.

Feature for using C++ as script language
by Maurício 11 Aug '04

11 Aug '04

Hi, After I discovered Boost, which has regex and filesystem libraries, I decided to use C++ for tasks that I usually do with Ruby (a Perl-like language), because I know C++ a lot better than other languages. However, there's a feature of those languages I miss: the ability to call external programs and get the output as a string. Does any of Boost libraries (or other free libraries you know) have this capability? Thanks, Maurício
