Hi all. I'm a noob and unfamiliar with boost. It has also been a long time
since I have done any C++ programming. In any case, here are the details:
I am trying to compile MecnRao/TCP-UDP-Proxy that uses the Boost Library. I
am trying to compile this for Windows, ultimately Windows 10, but at the
moment trying to compile on my Windows 7 VM. I am using Visual Studio Pro
2019. After trying the latest version of the Boost Library with some errors
due to some deprecated members, I bounced around older versions until
finding that Version 1.68.0 reduced my compile errors substantially, and of
those 20 or so errors, are caused by some typedef problems in fstream.hpp.
(I could be wrong, but the errors all seem to be related to fstream_fix.)
Specifically, I get the following errors to begin with:
'fstream_fix >' is not a
variable template
'fstream_fix >' is not a
variable template
This comes from the following lines in the fstream.hpp
typedef basic_ifstream<char> ifstream;
typedef basic_ofstream<char> ofstream;
Where ifstream and ofstream are indicated as being redefined as
#define ifstream fstream_fixstd::ifstream
#define ofstream fstream_fixstd::ofstream
Within the program
with fstream_fix as
template<class T>
struct fstream_fix
: public T
{
fstream_fix(){};
template<class T1>
fstream_fix(T1 v1){
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "");
T::open(v1);
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, 0);
}
template
fstream_fix(T1 v1,T2 v2){
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "");
T::open(v1,v2);
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, 0);
}
template<class T1>
void open(T1 v1){
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "");
T::open(v1);
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, 0);
}
template
void open(T1 v1,T2 v2){
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "");
T::open(v1,v2);
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, 0);
}
};
So I'm wondering if this is a newer/different compiler issue? Or the
application itself? Or maybe just missing something like uses namespace std.
I am hoping someone can help me nip this last problem so I can get this
compiled.
Thanks,
Mack
