[program_options] printing the variable map
by Jeff Garland 05 Aug '04

05 Aug '04

I'm writing a program with program_options (very cool and useful library, BTW) and I found myself wanting to print out the variable_map values for debugging purposes. Is there an easy way to do this? Also couple of documentation nits: 1) From the first example.... if (vm.count("help")) { std::cout << desc << "\n"; I had to read the code to figure out that variable_map inherits from std::map, and this is why you can call this. Documentation only says: class variables_map : : public boost::program_options::abstract_variables_map 2) In the 'Storage Component' section -- there's this: Let's consider an example: variables_map vm; store(parse_command_line(argc, argv, desc), vm); store(parse_config_file("example.cfg", desc), vm); finish(vm); .... Finally the call to notify function runs user-specified notify functions and stores values into regular variables, if needed. I assume 'finish' is supposed to be notify? I don't see any docs for finish. Jeff

build-monitor yet again

I put the --monitored back in my script: ========================================== python regression.py setup --user=vawjr --toolsets=vc7.1,vc8.0 --bjam-toolset=vc7 python regression.py install --user=vawjr --toolsets=vc7.1,vc8.0 --bjam-toolset=vc7 --incremental python regression.py test --user=vawjr --toolsets=vc7.1,vc8.0 --incremental --monitored python regression.py collect-logs --user=vawjr --runner=RudbekAssociates --incremental --comment comment.html python regression.py upload-logs --runner=RudbekAssociates ========================================== I took a couple of "pictures" of the task manager one before I went to bed last night and when I got up this morning they can be found at ftp://rudbek.com/pub/boost I've modified regression.py to: ========================================= utils.system( [ 'start /belownormal %s bjam.exe %d >build_monitor.log 2>&1' % ( build_monitor_path, timeout*60 ) ] ) ========================================= unfortunately build_monitor.log is 0 length this morning I believe that the the dir of the logfiles shows that the IRC client wasn't all shut down at the same time, it seems to have taken several minutes I thought I'd taken a before picture of the desktop, but I apparently don't understand my grabber as well as I thought. I'll take one now that should resemble a lot the one from before. I trust this evidence will put to rest whether build_monitor actually arbitrarily stops probrams with NO regard as to who or what started them. Victor A.

shared_ptr doc issue
by David Abrahams 05 Aug '04

05 Aug '04

In the constructor documentation, it seems that "Notes" is used to document what really are preconditions, e.g.: "p must be a pointer to an object that was allocated via a C++ new expression or be 0" Normally, "notes" are considered to be non-normative in the standard. I am trying to update a document on exception safety and it would be a big help if all the preconditions appeared in the "Requires" clause. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com

const_pointer_cast for shared_ptr
by Colin Rafferty 05 Aug '04

05 Aug '04

I would like to propose adding const_pointer_cast<> to shared_ptr, in exactly the same way that there is dynamic_pointer_cast<> and static_pointer_cast<>. I am surprised that it is missing. Is there a reason for that? If not, I will submit a patch that implements this. Thanks. -- Colin

[Boost-bugs] [ boost-Bugs-1003889 ] tokenizer and signed char
by SourceForge.net 05 Aug '04

05 Aug '04

Bugs item #1003889, was opened at 2004-08-05 04:41 Message generated for change (Tracker Item Submitted) made by Item Submitter You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=107586&aid=1003889&group_… Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: tokenizer and signed char Initial Comment: boost::tokenizer incorrect works on platforms on which plain char is signed. For example, at least in boost::char_delimiters_separator::is_nonret should be explicit conversion from char type to int type. Something like this std::isspace (std::char_traits<Char>::to_int_type(E)). Minimal reproducer for this issue which uses Russian letters results in assert in MSVC 7.1: // cl /Zi /MDd -D_DEBUG test.cpp #include <boost\tokenizer.hpp> #include <string> #include <iostream> using namespace std; using namespace boost; int main() { string s = "Здравствуй мир!"; tokenizer<> tok(s); for (tokenizer<>::iterator beg=tok.begin(); beg! =tok.end();++beg) { cout << *beg << "\n"; } } ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=107586&aid=1003889&group_… ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by OSTG.

A few people are running regressions against it under this assumption. Should we provide an alternative resource for them? -- Aleksey Gurtovoy MetaCommunications Engineering
