Hi.
I am new to Boost, and beginning with compiling example code for Boost::Date_Time.
I've had success compiling the many examples given here:
http://www.boost.org/doc/html/date_time/examples.html
but the very first example given here:
http://www.boost.org/doc/html/date_time/examples/general_usage_examples.html
I cannot compile without errors. (Code given below)
Ugh, I hate when this gets out of sync...
Changing week(1) to weeks(1) got me past the first hurdle, but still not home.
Yep.
The problem seems to have something to do with 'Sunday' not being of the correct type, but I'm not truly certain what is going on, hence this post ...
Yeah, there's a problem with the automatic conversion -- making it explicit to the type for the function (greg_weekday) does the trick for me on gcc-4. date d5 = next_weekday(d4, greg_weekday(Sunday));
I'd appreciate any insight into what would be needed to get this example to correctly compile and run. (And if there is a flaw in the example, I'd suggest that the docs be fixed to provide it in working form.)
For sure -- I noted a couple other things that prevent the 'cut from the docs, paste, and compile' technique from working. Added to my todos. Thx for the report. Thx, Jeff
