Re: [Boost-users] Create Module with boost
Hi,
Can you tell me how I can create a modules with boost?
You've already asked that on this thread: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.user/64732
but haven't clarified your question. _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users
Sorry, I deleted the last message by mistake.
I'm new to Boost and I'm new C++ developer. I'm looking for examples how
to write application divided into modules using Boost. Is there already done example? I need to see how to write C++ module.
What do you mean by saying "module"? Compile-time unit or a binary module that you'll load in run-time? I'm not sure what are the differences between compile-time unit and binary module. I suppose that the best for me will be to use binary module which will be loaded in run-time. Is there example of such modules? I think that the best way for communication between the modules will be to user mapping share memory. What can you advice me? Regards Peter
First, at the moment there is no standard way to do this. Second, there is a library that is meant to do this and will be proposed to boost once complete enough. It's boost::extension : http://boost-extension.redshoelace.com/docs/boost/extension/index.html <http://boost-extension.redshoelace.com/docs/boost/extension/index.html>Now, (correct me if I'm wrong), the author said some months/years ago that he cant continue developpement because of language limitations that C++0x will certainly fix (I'm not sure what but I guess it's about ABI?). Anyway, it seems to be working and used by some people, but not as complete as the author would like too. (and the documentation could be improved I think). There are other libraries providing the same functionallity, like Poco's Shared Libraries ( http://pocoproject.org/slides/120-SharedLibraries.pdf ). Boost::extension and Poco Shared Libraries are cross-platform. Other than that and calling platform-specific API functions, there is no boost library that allows binary modules loaded at run-time. But I guess that's already helping. On Wed, Dec 29, 2010 at 18:20, derleader __ <derleader@abv.bg> wrote:

I once experimented with Boost.Extension and it seemed great to me, and did all that I wanted at that moment. So I hope development can go on. The library would be a welcome addition to Boost. Regards, Barend

If you're talking of shared memory, then maybe you mean interprocess communication. If so, take a look at Boost.Interprocess: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_45_0/doc/html/interprocess.html
