boost::function and managed code
by Russell Hind 07 Jun '04

I'm looking for a way to get a boost::function to do a callback to a method of a managed C++ class in VS7.1. Has anyone managed to do this yet? Thanks Russell

VC60 Compilation error

Hi all, while trying to compile the city_visitor.cpp example in the Graph lib with VC60 SP 3, I've got the following error -------------- --------------------Configuration: CityVisitor - Win32 Release-------------------- Compiling...

boost::bind problem
by Agoston Bejo 05 Jun '04

05 Jun '04

Hi, Please take a look at the code below. The point is that for_each_treenode calls for_each_treenode_child. It seems to me that bind(Print, ref(cout), _1)(&t); is not the same as Print(cout, &t); But if this is the case, how come that for_each_treenode_child(&t, bind(Print, ref(cout), _1)); compiles and works without problem?

Boost.Threads && MFC?
by Philip, Tim 04 Jun '04

04 Jun '04

Has anyone ever used Boost.Threads in combination with MFC? MFC requires that threads using MFC functionality be created with AfxCreateThread(). What I'm wondering is if it is safe to create threads using AfxCreateThread() (instead of the Boost.Thread functionality) but then use the Boost.Threads mutexs and locking mechanisms to manage the thread activity. >From my brief perusal of the source it looks like it might work. But I was hoping I could find someone who had actually tried it and might have some experiences to share. :) Any information greatly appreciated! Thanks! Tim.

Thread usage question.
by Paul Gregory 04 Jun '04

04 Jun '04

Hello all, I am currently using Boost threads in a project I'm working on that involves a server/client type communications system. The project is a 3D renderer, the particular component is the communications between the renderer core, and any number of interested display clients, which are responsible for either displaying or storing the resulting image. Within the main program I have a listener thread that waits for requests from the display clients, and when it recieves one, launches another thread to handle the response. The responder thread can often just construct and send the response immediately. But if the request is for data that hasn't yet been rendered, it needs to wait for the data to be available. The responder is implemented as a class which has an operator() overload for the thread function. I would like for the responder thread to first query the system to see if the data is ready, and if not, block waiting for a signal from the system to indicate it is ready. So I need a way for the thread to 'register' it's interest in a particular data item with the main system, then wait for the signal. I presume there is a neat way of doing this using boost::mutexes and boost::condition's but I can't quite work out how, I freely admint I'm not very experienced when it comes to threaded programming. I've looked at the Boost bounded_buffer.cpp tutorial and it does something similar, but I can't work out how to apply the principles to my situation. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Some bad links on the web site
by Ross Boylan 04 Jun '04

04 Jun '04

The web site contains a bad link: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-announce directs you to http://lists.boost.org/MailArchives/boost-announce for the archives. That gives a 404 Not Found error. I think there was another bad link related to mailing lists, but I can't find it again. By the way, it would be good if the web site had where to send web-site related queries and bugs on the bottom of every page. As far as I could tell, this list is the place to go.

Date time Library: ptime and special_values
by Matthew_Schuckmann＠amat.com 04 Jun '04

04 Jun '04

The documentation for the date_time library states that a ptime can be constructed from a special value e.g. ptime(special_values sv) ptime t1(neg_infin); ptime t2(pos_infin); ptime t3(not_a_date_time); However when I try this with the Cygwin GNU compiler I get a no matching function for call error (see errors below) Am I missing something here or is the documentation wrong?

Re: boost regex support for 64-bit
by Itay Eliaz 03 Jun '04

03 Jun '04

Hi, We compiled the latest RegEx library on: 1. SunOS 5.8 Workshop 6: We used the sunpro.mak makefile. Unfortunately, we received many error messages regarding conversions from enum to int and vice versa. 2. HP-UX 11.11 aCC 3.33: We used the generic.mak makeilfe. We got an error regarding dynamic_cast from char*& to char*. In both cases, we didn't run the configure script in libs/config, because if we do, we get many compilation errors (probably because of the #define-s in the created user.hpp). Are you aware of these problems? or are we doing something wrong? Is it imperative that we run the configure script and not use the default user.hpp? On top of that, we managed to overcome the problems I mentioned by simply specifing explicit conversion and casting, and we compiled RegEx on Forte 6 with the 64-bit compilation flag. The compilation worked, but unfortunately, the tests failed. (I mean, the compiled okay and run, but they say that tests.txt contains errors - something that didn't happen when compiling the 32-bit version). What can we do to make it work in 64-bits?
