C++/Tcl

Hi, I have just released the 1.0.0 version of my library for integration between C++ and Tcl scripting language: http://cpptcl.sourceforge.net/ This library may be of some interest to Boosters, since: - it was inspired by Boost.Python and shamelessy mimicks its syntax ;) - there are people working on Boost.Langbinding that may find C++/Tcl concepts more or less interesting (I do not see my posts in their maillist archive) - it uses some of Boost - it itself has high ACBR ("angle/curly brackets ratio") Your comments are welcome, -- Maciej Sobczak : http://www.msobczak.com/ Programming : http://www.msobczak.com/prog/

[Boost-bugs] [ boost-Support Requests-1071409 ] Add Boost folder to VS directory list
by SourceForge.net 23 Nov '04

23 Nov '04

Support Requests item #1071409, was opened at 2004-11-22 18:13 Message generated for change (Tracker Item Submitted) made by Item Submitter You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=207586&aid=1071409&group_… Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Add Boost folder to VS directory list Initial Comment: Dear Mr/s, I'm doing a program in C#, visual Studio.net environment. I need to generate random numbers, not just from the system class, but others like mersenne twister, fobinacci etc. The Boost library has a set of random number generators in C++, so I downloaded the "boost" from boost.org page. My program in C# has a wrapper to use the generators from the boost folder, the "reference" (boost) and the corresponding "using boost". My problem is how to add the "boost" folder to the list of include directories in VS so that the "reference" in my C# project can find it. If you know how, could you please indicate me the steps.

The version you created goes below this bottom of the first +, which as you said makes it less compact. Take that bottom C part and puch it up one "block", making sure you keep the + sign on top of the background. In essence, you'd really just be adding a single block of background in the lower left gap of the first +, and another block to the lower right gap of the first +, if that makes any sense. - Robert Geiman

I don't know, it kind of looks too irregularly shaped. Not so blocky as the other designs. Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

boost.thread : Can one create a thread with an object member function?
by Tim Laplaca 22 Nov '04

22 Nov '04

I am very new to boost, I apologize if this has been asked before. I searched the mailing list archive but could not find an answer to my question. I was successful creating threads with functions that are not members of objects, but when I try to create threads with a pointer to an object member I get compilation errors (MS Visual Studio .NET). Examples: class objclass; typedef void (objclass::*pmf)(); // ptr to member func class objclass { public: objclass() : thread_id (0) { p=&objclass::dowork; } inline setthreadid(int x) {thread_id = x;} inline setvaltwo(std::string str) {valtwo = str;} void dowork(); pmf p; // pointer to dowork member function int getthreadid() {return thread_id;} std::string getvaltwo() {return valtwo;} private: int thread_id; std::string valtwo; }; void objclass::dowork() { } (In the main...) boost::thread_group thrds; objclass * objthread; objthread = new objclass; thrds.create_thread( (objthread->p) ); I get the following error: c:\Boost\include\boost-1_31\boost\function\function_template.hpp(427): error C2664: 'void boost::function0<R>::assign_to<Functor>(FunctionPtr,boost::detail::funct ion::function_ptr_tag)' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'boost::detail::function::member_ptr_tag' to 'boost::detail::function::function_ptr_tag' with [ R=void, Functor=pmf, FunctionPtr=pmf ] Is there a way around this problem, or is it simply not possible to make threads from object members with boost? Thanks, Tim
