Several of the Boost libraries are being considered as additions to the next standard. Many of them are already in tr1 (an std extension until the next standard is finalized). I know the smart pointers are already in there (I make use of them fairly heavily), and I think lambda is, but I'm not sure ... something I'll have to double check.

Nope, lambdas are going to be included as a language feature, not a library. See here[^]

Looks like that is still a proposal. I'm not sure how I feel about that syntax ... the Boost lambda syntax is very easy to read, but that syntax seems to make it harder to read than writing a function or functor.

Mmmm - shame they don't combine type inference and lambda - then you could get rid of the type annotations, like with Haskell - but I guess you can't, 'cause you could end up with polymorphic functions, like this in Haskell:
(\x y -> 2*x + y)
will have a type of
(Num a) => a -> a -> a , or, in pseudo-C++, a (a x, a y) where a is some numeric type.

BTW, I am using Boost 1.33.1 and don't seem to have BOOST_FOREACH - is this included with the 1.34 RC version?
|
|
|
|

No, it's not in 1.33.1. It's only one file however and can be downloaded from here[^]. As you can see it will be "shipped" with 1.34. I use 1.33 but added this file manually.

Thanks Steve.
Having problems using BOOST_FOREACH with a std::map though. For example, this won't compile:
std::map<int, int> m;
BOOST_FOREACH(std::pair<int, int> p, m)
{
}
This does work however:
std::map<int, int> m;
std::pair<int, int> p;
BOOST_FOREACH(p, m)
{
}
Is there a way to avoid declaring the pair before the FOREACH loop?
|
|

This is because BOOST_FOREACH is a macro. See here[^]. There are many ways to fix this including a typedef or an extra pair of brackets, but in this case the best is the following:
typedef std::map<int, int> collection_t;
collection_t m;
BOOST_FOREACH(collection_t::value_type p, m)
{
}
In general, with of without using BOOST_FOREACH, it's best to use a typedef to define an alias to the collection type, here collection_t. This allows us to change the type of collection used in one place. Once this is done we use the value_type typedef which is in every STL collection.
I'd probably use a reference, const if possible, like this:
typedef std::map<int, int> collection_t;
collection_t m;
BOOST_FOREACH(const collection_t::value_type &p, m)
{
}
In both these examples the actual type name of the collection is only mentioned in one place and so can be easily changed. When for hash maps are added to STL, for example, this would mean that you can switch between a hash map or binary tree by changing only one line.

Steve, thanks again for another informative post! The value_type typedef is something I shall be using a lot more of in future.

Hello Experts,
I am involved into developement of Toolbar for IE.
In that I have one drop down menu- button.
I want the menu items of this menu to be hyperlinks.
A single menu item can have more than on words each poiting to
different websites.
These menutems are owner-drawn.
Please tell me how I put hyperlinks on MenuItems.
I am using WTL.
Still,if anyone knows how to do it in MFC,let me know.
I will port it to WTL myself!!!!!!!!
Thanks in advance

Hyperlinks in menus? Huh? I thought a menuitem was a hyperlink of sorts...

hi all i m using the fopen fclose in ATL and it work fine with debug version when i change the project configuration to the Releasewithmindependancy then following errrs occurs.

i dont know why these are bcos i m new in ATL

This is your problem - fopen, etc. are part of the C runtime library and a "min dependency" release won't include it. You need to change the project settings and change "Minimize CRT use in ATL" to "No".

|
|

That should only cause a problem at link time...? Judging by this fellow's error messages, he is having compile time errors.

Been there. Done that. Felt incredibly stupid. 
I remember an app I wrote with ATL3. It was complaining about main not being defined. "What the hell??" I thought, it was a windows app! So I just snuck in an empty main(), and it ran quite well. Until some bizarre errors started to occur deep down inside the STL. I later learned that I had to remove the minimize CRT setting. I felt really stupid that day.

Maybe you need to #include <stdio.h>?

There are a number of standart Windows controls, such as Tab Control, that can own another - for example we may place other controls on tabs of Tab Control in the design time, then use them in run time. How can one achieve the same functionality in owner-written (ATL) ActiveX Full Control? I mean how to make my component avaliable to place other components in it in design-time. May be there are some links, or statements about such tasks?

Hi all, I'm confused and liked to know your opinion.
In short:
I think there is a general WTL::CString design problem if a CString is
passed by reference between DLLs to retrieve data.
Example, calling the following DLL-provided method to this is not safe:
int GetName(CString& o_strName);
In long:
Referring to ATLMISC.H, an empty CString will point to a global
variable named rgInitData. rgInitData acts as a global placeholder to be pointed to for any initially empty strings.
<br />
_declspec(selectany) int rgInitData[] = { -1, 0, 0, 0 };<br />
<br />
_declspec(selectany) CStringData* _atltmpDataNil = (CStringData*) &rgInitData;<br />
Since any file that uses WTL::CString #inlcudes the code above, it will get an rgInitData in for each obj file, to avoid linker problems the declspec is used. Thats ok so far.
But problems arise in case of DLL projects, as each DLL will get its own rgInitData instance with the corresping atltmpDataNil pointer.
The problem is: create an empty CString in DLL-A, the CString will point to its rgInitData-A object to indicate it is empty.
Now handing this CString object over to DLL-B, then the CString internal implementation uses the address of rgInitData-B to determine if its an empty string or not.
As the match will fail, the DLL-B side implementation assumes there is data to be freed, resulting in attempting to free rgInitData-A (which is a global variable on the stack).
Do you agree? Do you know a workaround?
Regards
Xavi

You're seeing the general problem of trying to pass objects between modules that are using the CRT allocator. This may work, if you're using the DLL version of the CRT, but is bad practice since it may not work in future versions of the CRT. You need to use a process-wide allocator such as CoTaskMemAlloc()/CoTaskMemFree() when passing data between modules.

Hi Mike
Thanks a lot for your input, I'm glad for any opinion, though (hopefully not beeing a nitpicker) this here is actually a different problem (or isn't it?)
I totally agree that the "pass object between DLLs" is serious topic on itselfs and has to be managed carefully when it comes to allocation/deallocation.
Actually I think we manage it correctly here (linking all to the CRT-DLLs).
Let me put it this way: I'm quite sure we use the same allocs/deallocs, but because the CString internal logic uses a pointer to something that exists per DLL, passing a CString between the DLLs will cause the logic to fail and to deallocate where a deallocation is not appropriate.
To make things worser, this only applies for empty strings, as soon as the string points to heap allocated memory, the logic works fine.
So I came to the conclusion, seeing a CString& in a DLL interface is a problem.
It seems MFC has the same problem, using MFC-extension DLLs to manage it (http://www.sources.ru/cpp/mfc/t4650.htm[^])

Ah yes, good point about the special "empty" string object. Fortunately (although it's not very convenient) you can work around it by assigning "" to CStrings, which doesn't break other code like IsEmpty().
