I assume this is a Spirit related question.

Before anything else, please post Spirit support related questions to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spirit-general

Also, it would be best to write a more descriptive title. Otherwise,
your post might probably be easy to miss.

Ok, nuff said...

The XML stuff has been tested and works with no problems on Windows 
and Linux. I come from the Mac but unfortunately I do not have access to 
a Mac and CW8 right now. Fortunately Paul Snively volunteered to check
Spirit on CW8 on the Mac. You can also help out by giving us a more detailed
account. For instance, what is the current state of the range (r) when the
assertion fired?

Please post subsequent messages to Spirit's mailing lits. Let's continue
this thread there.

Thank you.

[boost] XML Samples...

2003-03-08 Thread Michael Burbidge
I've been trying to use the XML samples in 
libs/example/application/xml. They build fine, but get a runtime assert 
when given even the simplest xml file. Are these samples kept up to 
date? Here's the assert that I get:

Assertion (r.is_valid()) failed in "range_run.ipp", function "set", 
line 132

This is on Mac OS X using CodeWarrior 8.

Thanks,

[boost] New stuff into sandbox and Yahoo files section

2003-03-08 Thread Gennaro Prota
Hi everybody,

this is just to let you know that I've now committed the new version
of static_log2<> to the boost sandbox:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/boost-sandbox/boost-sandbox/boost/integer/static_log2.hpp

and a bunch of new traits to the Yahoo files section:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/MoreTraits.zip


Besides some templates that could IMHO be useful to improve the
portability of detail/limits.hpp (width<> and precision<>) there are
two simple knick-knacks, const_min<> and const_max, that I would like
to take the place of the analogous components in the Integer library.


Here's a complete list of the zip contents:


- const_max<>, const_min<>


 Give maximum and minimum value of a built-in integral type
 as integral constants. Differently from the traits already
 available in Boost.Integer they don't use derivation from
 std::numeric_limits.


- has_sign<>


 Tells whether the type can represent negative values.
 Probably useful before they clarify whether numeric_limits ::
 is_signed tells for built-in types the same information than this,
 or just says whether T is one of the four signed types listed in
 3.9.1 [to illustrate the difference: char is not a "signed integer
 type"; but it can have negative values on many implementations]

 BTW, there's something similar to this in detail/numeric_traits.hpp,
 so it could be useful at least to refactor that code (Incidentally:
 Dave, the comment there seem to reveal that intent was for it to
 work for UDTs too. Of course it doesn't even work for built-in
 floating points.)


- padding.hpp


 Gives the number of bits of an integral type that do not contribute
 to represent the value.


- promoted.hpp


 Gives the promoted type for an rvalue expression of integral or
 floating point type. Example:


 promoted::type // -> int
 promoted::type // -> int or unsigned int,
  //depending on the implementation


- wchar_min_max.hpp


 Implementation detail to make up for broken libraries lacks.


- unit_test.cpp/.hpp


 Obvious purpose.



Any comments will be greatly appreciated.


Genny.

weak_ptr no longer has get().

You are right that currently shared_ptr and weak_ptr work as std::map keys
but not as hash_map keys, and that we need to add _some kind_ of hash table
support. One easy approach is to supply a "size_t hash_value() const" member
function; this will allow "expert" users to use shared_ptr/weak_ptr in a
hash table by creating an appropriate hash function object _and_ equivalence
object (important since shared_ptr/weak_ptr equivalence isn't a == b but !(a
< b) && !(b < a)).

I would rather prefer to make hash_set and hash_map work "out of the box"
with a shared_ptr and weak_ptr. Unfortunately, there is no standard hash_*
interface yet, and the formal proposal by Matt Austern doesn't address the
problem well.

I guess you're  thinking about classes with eg. an iterator typedef.
Couldn't the procedure be improved a little by doing something
like


  template< typename C >
 true_t  is_container( const C&, const typename C::iterator& =
  typename C::iterator(),
const typename C::const_iterator& = typename C::const_iterator(),
 );

That way we would reduce the likelyhood of false positives a lot. Or would
we?

Thorsten

[boost] Perlin noise generator

2003-03-08 Thread Ross Smith
I've written a Perlin noise generator that I'd like to submit to Boost. 
You can get the preliminary version from:

http://xultekh.net.nz/c++/boost_perlin.tgz

It includes user documentation for the class and a simple test harness; 
I've still got to add some more documentation explaining how Perlin 
noise works. (There are some sketchy comments in the header describing 
the implementation, but they won't make much sense to readers not 
already familiar with the algorithm.)

False alarm, gmane.org works perfectly well. I just had to fix my

This sounds too hard. Of course it's not a problem where Peter used it
as there obviously is no other operator int() or something. The problem
only occurs when you try to create a generic component that should work
with all classes.

Another alternative would be to create a selector which switches from
the safe-bool-idiom to a real operator bool when appropriate. This would
involve type-traits I guess and as a start we could try to detect
convertability to bool of the class T. But this is IMHO not sufficient,
as T might have operator int() and operator long(), so the detection
will fail (ambiguous). Although this alternative would lead to the best
result, I don't have a clever idea how to achieve that...

[boost] [Boost.Regex] [PATCH] Make boost work better whenBOOST_NO_WREGEXis defined

2003-03-08 Thread Lars Gullik Bjønnes

The following patch fixes some compilation problems when
BOOST_NO_WREGEX is defined (as we do in LyX). These concern OpenBSD
(first hunk: when BOOST_NO_WREGEX is defined we end up including
) and something I found when trying to compile with lyxstring
(no need to define compare_string(wstring,wchar_t*)).

Note that the patch is made agaist the LyX sources, not the boost
tree.
If you want a patch that is directly applyable to boost please contact
me and I will create one.
