Thanks. I changed the map to: typedef map<session_id, boost::function<long, Y*, X*> > MyMessageMap; No errors but enough warnings to choke a horse. Have I just been nailed by VC6SP4? If so, I think I'll just give up and map the session-ids to Y*s. %>( Thanks in advance for any suggestions. <warnings> --------------------Configuration: MyProject - Win32 Debug-------------------- Compiling...

Yes "Koenig lookup" is "argument-dependent lookup", and sadly several compilers still do not implement it. There's a workaround for the lack of Borland's support: using std::swap; // This should have been in my example to begin with... using boost::swap; swap(x, y); Which works on GCC 3.1.1 and BCC 5.6, and I would imagine any other compiler as well. The downside is that you have to list in your "generic" function all the namespaces that it can be used with -- which then makes it not-very-generic on compilers without Koenig lookup. But it's better than nothing... -Steve

intrusive_ptr
by nobody 26 Sep '02

26 Sep '02

Hi! There is a intrusive_ptr.cpp in boost 1.28, but I did not find any doc for that... exept for in the timing . Why? Guessing from the name, intrusive_ptr requires the pointed-to object to store the reference count or something like that, doesn't it? And what does anybody think of typedefing std::auto_ptr to boost::single_ptr? Finally I have a suggestion for a new type of smart pointer one could call "notifying_ptr": Sometimes all weak pointing objects need to be notified when the object pointed to is destroyed: e.g. in a game some units are set to attack some building, so they store a weak_ptr to the building, but when that building is destroyed, it would be easier to implement and faster performing, if the units got a message so they can look for a new target, instead of having strong pointers, marking the building as dead, and polling for that state every time the unit does something. It could be quite some time until all units have realized that the building is gone and it really can be released from memory. Regards

I'm trying to store member function pointers. For purposes of this discussion, the key is an int. <context> X is the virtual base class for polymorphic message classes. all messages have a session-d attribute Ys are instances of classes derived from a virtual message hanler base class. foo() is the message handler function. Z is the 'message pump' that dispatches messages to Ys based upon the session-id. Y instances insert make_pair(session-id, message_handler) pairs into the map. (I think _1 is 'this' during the insert.) Z calls the Y instance message-handler using the session-id key to the map. </context> Mark Storer <mstorer@cardiff To: "'Boost-Users(a)yahoogroups.com'" <Boost-Users(a)yahoogroups.com> .com> cc: Subject: RE: [Boost-Users] bind: I just keep trying... 09/25/2002 04:47 PM Please respond to Boost-Users I'm a little confused as to what you're aiming for here... a map of ints to function pointers (that can point to Y::foo)?

std::swap() vs boost::swap()
by Galante Michele 26 Sep '02

26 Sep '02

Boost classes that define a swap() member function usually also provide a global swap() function: namespace boost { class X { void swap(X &rhs); }; template<class T> void swap(X &lhs, X &rhs) { lhs.swap(rhs); } } Why is the global swap() function defined in namespace boost and not as a specialization of std::swap<>() in namespace std? Suppose I have a template function like the following: #include <algorithms> template <typename T> void do_something_and_swap(T &a, T &b) { // do something ... std::swap(a, b); } I want this template function to work with every type that is "swappable", but if I try to use it with boost::scoped_ptr<> the compiler fails because std::swap<>() is not specilized for boost::scoped_ptr<> and the generic definition of std::swap<>() requires the argument type to be copyable (and boost::scoped_ptr<> is noncopyable). I think I have read somewhere (but perhaps I'm wrong) that specialization of std::swap<>() for user defined types is allowed by the standard, so is there any other reason for not defining the global swap functions in namespace std?

The best way to provide this solution is to use an unqualified swap; Koenig lookup will ensure that the correct swap() is found for std:: and boost:: components. > I think I have read somewhere (but perhaps I'm wrong) that specialization of > std::swap<>() for user defined types is allowed by the standard, so is there > any other reason for not defining the global swap functions in namespace > std? Technically, specialization of std::swap is allowed. But overloading std::swap is not. These are often confused, but here's a concrete example: template <> void std::swap(boost::scoped_ptr<int> &, boost::scoped_ptr<int> &) is a specialization, and legal; but: template <typename T> void std::swap(boost::scoped_ptr<T> &, boost::scoped_ptr<T> &) is an overload, and not legal (currently). There's been a ton of discussion of this issue on the Boost.Developer's list; you can search the list archives if you're interested. -Steve

Forte compiler template error

Hi, I was trying to use the tokeniser lib and encountered this error: "/home/patwarta/boost_1_28_0/boost/iterator_adaptors.hpp", line 819: Error: The base "boost::detail::iterator_adaptor_traits_gen<boost::detail::token_ iterator_base<const char*>, std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char>>, const std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char>>&, const std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char>>*, std::forward_iterator_tag, int>::type" must be a previously defined class or struct. "XMLbParserWrapper.cxx", line 11: Where: While specializing "boost::iterator_adaptor<boost::detail::token_iterator_ba se<const char*>, boost::detail::tokenizer_policy<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char>>, boost::char_delimiters_separator<char, std::char_traits<char>>>, std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char>>, const std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char>>&, const std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char>>*, std::forward_iterator_tag, int> Any ideas?
