I'm trying to use boost::format with Borland C++ Builder 6 (Compiler version
0x564) and can't get the boost code to compile.
The code was working with sprintf but I need to be able to use numbered args
(i.e. "The first string is %1% and the second string is %2%." ) for
localization so that the language translators can change the position the
arguments appear in the translated text.
I get an "E2270 > expected" error in line of integral_c.hpp (boost
1_45_0). which is
template< bool C >
The code near the error is:
#if !defined(BOOST_NO_TEMPLATE_PARTIAL_SPECIALIZATION) \
&& !BOOST_WORKAROUND(__BORLANDC__, <= 0x551)
BOOST_MPL_AUX_ADL_BARRIER_NAMESPACE_OPEN
// 'bool' constant doesn't have 'next'/'prior' members
template< bool C >
struct integral_c
From what I can tell I should not have to define BOOST_NO_TEMPLATE_PARTIAL_SPECIALIZATION, and defining it I breaks working code.
I did find a reference to a bug that affects version Borland compiler versions 0x561 to 0x580 and I tried defining BOOST_BCB_PARTIAL_SPECIALIZATION_BUG. That did not help, but at least it didn't break anything. I am able to create a small test project and it works. I was able to get the same basic code to work in 50 or 60 places in 21 of the 23 *.cpp units in my primary project. This worked in my test code but broke in my main project. std::stringstream ss; ss << boost::format(LoadStr(STestWithString).c_str()) % "First" % "Second"; AnsiString translatedMsg = AnsiString(ss.str().c_str()); ShowMessage(translatedMsg); This also worked in my test program, but broke in my main project. std::string sRawMsg; AnsiString sDebug1 = "testArg1"; AnsiString sDebug2 = "testArg2"; sRawMsg = (boost::format("Testing %1% was first. %2% was second.") % sDebug1.c_str() % sDebug2.c_str()).str(); // ignoreW8080(boost::none); // Suppress false warning - Compiles to a nop. Any suggestions on solving this problem would be greatly appreciated. Royce Fessenden White Knight Software http://www.whiteknightsw.com/ www.WhiteKnightSw.com 417.766.1852 royce@fessenden.com
