U++ does not appear to like playing nice with the Boost algorithm string library? [message #53457] Sat, 04 April 2020 03:07 Go to next message

When I compile the following (console application) code in U++:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

#include <Core/Core.h>
using namespace Upp;

#include <boost/algorithm/string.hpp>

CONSOLE_APP_MAIN
{
    std::string str = "   Lots of filler space   ";
    boost::algorithm::trim(str);
    std::cout<<"\""<< str <<"\""<<std::endl;
}

the following error is resulting:
----- Core ( GCC DEBUG SHARED DEBUG_FULL BLITZ POSIX LINUX ) (1 / 2)
----- BoostStringTest ( MAIN GCC DEBUG SHARED DEBUG_FULL BLITZ POSIX LINUX ) (2 / 2)
BoostStringTest.cpp

BoostStringTest: 1 file(s) built in (0:01.55), 1551 msecs / file, duration = 1551 msecs

There were errors. (0:01.55)

I do know that U++ has it's only string utility functions, but was attempting to make use of code brought in from another application that I'm working on. Independently of any existing code, I wrote a simple C++ application in Code::Blocks, the code compiles and runs as expected.

Well, this looks like simple nameclash. Try

#undef t_

after #include <Core/Core.h>.

t_ is used to designate localized strings that are subject to language translation.

Maybe it does not have to be macro, then this would be solved by namespaces. Will try...

Thanks Mirek, I just tried that and it worked! To get around that issue, I did update my code to make use of the trim ends function that U++ has available. I do think undefining things is probably not a recommended solution, I couldn't possibly think of what else could go wrong.

I have actually replaced that macro with inline function in the trunk, so very likely it will work without that #undef witht the trunk for now.

(That said, I am not yet sure whether this change is OK, it is possible I will be forced to remove yet to maintain compatibility).
