Recently, I suggested there should be serialization support wrt the Range library - http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2008/01/132294.php. I'm writing to inform you of my plans in this regard. This input:

Msgs (sub_range<list<short> >) @OUT }

to the C++ Middleware Writer, http://home.seventy7.com/cgi-bin/samb.cgi, results in this output:

#include <boost/range/sub_range.hpp> #include <list> #include <Buffer.hh> using boost::sub_range;

struct Msgs { inline Msgs() {} inline ~Msgs() {}

inline int Send(Buffer* buf, const sub_range<list<short> >& about1) { unsigned int headCount = 0; headCount = about1.size(); if (!buf->Receive(&headCount, sizeof(int))) { buf->ews_.SetErrorWords(1, __FILE__, __LINE__); return 0; } list<short>::const_iterator rit1 = boost::begin(about1); list<short>::const_iterator rit2 = boost::end(about1); for (; rit1 != rit2; ++rit1) { if (!buf->Receive(&(*rit1), sizeof(short))) { buf->ews_.SetErrorWords(1, __FILE__, __LINE__); return 0; } }

if (!buf->SendStoredData()) { buf->ews_.SetErrorWords(2, __FILE__, __LINE__); return 0; } return 1; }

};

This functionality isn't available online yet. G-d willing, it will be available by the middle of next month.

Update: the functionality is now available online. Brian Wood Ebenezer Enterprises www.webebenezer.net
