In my quest of making gzip work for my application on windows, I found the following bug :
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { std::ofstream strm("test.gz");
boost::iostreams::filtering_ostream sink;
/* Push gzip compressor */ sink.push(boost::iostreams::gzip_compressor());
/* Push file writer */ sink.push(strm);
#if 0 /* This does not work */ sink <<" OBJ N"<< std::endl; #else /* This works */ sink <<" OBJ N"<< std::endl; #endif }
The first string results in a invalid gzip file i.e invalid compressed data--length error. I am aware this might be a bug in zib lib. It works on without any problems on linux.
Does anyone use gzip on windows on a regular basis ? _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users
Hi Bo, I have recently tried getting boost/gzip to work on Windows (x86) and also run into some weird behaviour. It is chronicled in two recent posts, "Read/write with gzip" and "Writing large binary files with boost gzip". I can't say for sure that all my problems have been Windows issues, but others have successfully run some of my code on Linux when I couldn't get it to behave. Anders
