If a server is what you are writing, then Id be interested in assisting/participating/helping. Rgs, James.

I recently started using Boost quite heavily (also TDD, also networking), and it makes a lot of things so much easier, cleaner, and more correct (I’m one of those un-hip people that likes everything statically checked, even though I use TDD). And all this comes at virtually no price; you can even cut the external dependency on Boost by cherrypicking the necessary sources into your project. The only price you have to pay is the horrible, horrible error messages, and the gigantic backtraces (at least with signals). Luckily, after a while, you learn to ignore these huge blobs of nonsense.

I also like the functional programming styles you can get with Boost.Bind and Boost.Lambda (superseded by Phoenix), although I still haven’t got the hang of the syntax of the lambda expressions completely yet; hopefully, C++0x will help on that front.

The libraries I regularly use are: shared_ptr, Signals, Bind, BOOST_FOREACH (typedeffed as ‘foreach’), filesystem, noncopyable, numeric/conversion/cast, lexical_cast, Thread, and Asio. The list keeps growing though ;-)

Alex Ott posted a “How to write simple HTTP proxy with Boost.Asio”, which is a pretty good introduction to networking the Boost Asio way. http://xtalk.msk.su/~ott/en/cpp/BoostAsioProxy.html

Since you sound like you’re on Windows, may I suggest having an alternative compiler with Boost pre-installed to give you a “second opinion” on Boost behavior:

MinGW Distro – nuwen.net http://nuwen.net/mingw.html

This is a package created by Mr. STL, a “Microsoft Visual C++ Libraries Developer”, so it’s Microsoft friendly.

if you are going to TDD in C+, consider using GTest (google test ). I find it the better of all the TDD frameworks for C+.

and boost is simply awesome :)

not quite sure why you need the installer? just get the source and build it? the instructions are pretty straightforward, hooking it into Visual Studio is trivial.

I really like google test, it’s really nice how writing a test fixture is just writing a class, very clean. I switched back from google test (after getting several projects ready for my students) because it did not provide memory leak detection.

Other than that one thing, google test is better in most respects. However, memory leak detection is important enough feature that I decided to stick with CppUTest.

I have a workspace with all of my projects running in google test and one with CppUTest. The google tests look better.

Have you used boost test?

Brett,

For leak detection, I always use Valgrind on my test runners, which not only does leak detection, but also helps in finding any other types of memory errors. Unfortunately, Valgrind doesn’t work on Windows, and I suppose switching to tools like Purify is too expensive. I must say I didn’t know about CppUnit’s leak detection capability.

I used Boost test briefly, but didn’t like it at all. Same goes for Boost.Build. I think the Boost tools are tailored to the Boost project’s needs, and are not generally useful.

Well I quickly used the for each, io steam and briefly the lambda libraries. It’s pretty snappy to use the first two. I think I get the lambda library, but the examples are not complete and do not work for less than obvious reasons.

One of the fascinating aspects that would be interesting to explore is the compile-time functional metaprogramming via templates that is the basis for all this. It is a much stronger template concept than in later languages like C#.

C++ templates are wicked cool and powerful. I remember sitting in the presenters’ lounge at SD West 2007 and someone was talking about “debugging the template generation in the compiler” and it was none other than Scott Meyers.

I love the power of templates. And as much as you might think C# is weaker that C++, by compairson Java barely even registers a heartbeat! That’s why I’m of the opinion that the Java language is basically dead (like VB or COBOL are dead). No blocks in Java 7, generics support very weak. C# the language eclipsed Java some time ago and Java is now in the dead or dying category.

Luckily, the JVM is alive and thriving. So really, I can get blocks through Groovy or JRuby. Even so, the language is weak, but I’m way off topic.

I really stopped using C++ in 1997. Template meta programming was happening (thanks to AS and ML for the STL!), though it is much more sophisticated now that it was then. I could not really do it now without a lot of work.

Also, now, much more than in 1997, I’m a big fan of testability. Since the compiler is already so complex, I don’t think we’re going to get hooks into its inner workings, making investigation much more difficult.

Interesting? Very. Hard as hell? Yes.

If I were to start this, however, I’d look at GCC. I bet there’d be ways to crack open its inner workings.

Boost’s shared_ptr alone was enough for me to bring it in, and it worked nicely with Visual Studio. This was a year and a half ago, and if I knew now what I know about TDD, unit testing, design patterns, I probably would have made even greater use of it.
