boost::cregexp_iterator compliation errors - c++

Question

I'm trying to use boost::cregexp_iterator, as exaplined in http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/regex/doc/html/boost_regex/ref/regex_iterator.html
// Loop through all the patterns
auto sessionReconstructionsEnd = _sessionReconstructions.end();
for (auto sr = _sessionReconstructions.begin(); sr != sessionReconstructionsEnd; ++sr) {
const std::string& pattern = sr->first;
const auto& editors = sr->second;
regex re(pattern);
...
for (auto session = sessions.begin(); session != sessionsEnd; ++session) {
for (size_t chunkNumber = 0; chunkNumber < sessionChunks.size(); ++chunkNumber) {
const auto& chunkData = sessionChunks[chunkNumber].data;
cregex_iterator reIteratorEnd;
cregex_iterator reIterator(
reinterpret_cast<const char*>(chunkData.data()),
reinterpret_cast<const char*>(chunkData.data()) + chunkData.size(),
re); // Here the search is being done...
All the other code is commented out. I get the following error:

what the problem?
UPDATE: the problem is with the flag --std=c++11 - I'm posting another post for this issue.
UPDATE2: The problem is I was using an old version of boost (1.4.3), moving to lastest solved it

Answer 1

Let me do your work for you show you how I'd analyze this problem:
#include <boost/regex.hpp>
#include <boost/cregex.hpp>
#include <vector>
int main()
{
using namespace boost;
regex re(".*");
const std::vector<char> chunkData;
cregex_iterator reIteratorEnd;
cregex_iterator reIterator(
reinterpret_cast<const char*>(chunkData.data()),
reinterpret_cast<const char*>(chunkData.data()) + chunkData.size(),
re); // Here the search is being done...}
}
This compiles just fine for me. And there's nothing else given in your question that we can actually reproduce.
You can take it from there. See when it starts to fail. 90% of the time, it will then be obvious why it fails. Otherwise, come back with the clearer, better question.
PS.
I'm aware of the fact that this is technically not an answer. I think it's helping nonetheless (and it doesn't quite fit in a comment)
You of course don't need the re-interpret cast here in my SSCCE. I'm assuming your chunkData might be (who knows) actually a std::deque<unsigned char> or similar? In such a case, see whether you should use a static_cast: When should static_cast, dynamic_cast, const_cast and reinterpret_cast be used? and Regular cast vs. static_cast vs. dynamic_cast
