Hi Mat,
Sure, this would be great as we wouldn't have to keep modifying our local
version to be able to use SOCI with boost.build.
There are a couple of ways you could go to integrate it in boost.build:
1. One jamfile at the root of SOCI with targets for the main soci lib and
one for each backend
2. One jamfile at root and one in each folder for each backend
In either case you can set up aliases in the root which adds both main lib
and backend (since both are required).
We currently use 1 as it's a bit easier to maintain and you only have to add
a single file to SOCI to add boost.build integration.
We currently use a SOCI checkout from February 10th 2010. The only local
changes are:
1. The addition of the jamfile, as per http://pastebin.ca/2024473
2. Renamed sqlite3/blob.cpp to blob_sqlite3.cpp , same for
sqlite3/session.cpp and sqlite3/statement.cpp as these create object naming
collisions in visual studio (can't have two source files with the same name,
even if they are in different directories)
3. Changed const char nextChar = query_[pos + placeholder.size()];
to
const char nextChar = query_.c_str()[pos + placeholder.size()];
In statement.cpp as the previous would throw a debug assertion if a
placeholder was put at the end of a query string
I'm not sure how many of the local changes we made are still required (how
much has changed since february?) but I am willing to investigate this if it
is of use to you. IMO it would be in SOCI's best interest to work out of the
box on as many compilers and platforms as possible.
Note that the jamfile above only supports the sqlite backend as that's what
we use. I can add the rest during Christmas break if you are interested.
Same goes for testing on the various compilers we use if SOCI is heading
towards a 3.1.0 release.
I've been toying with the idea of writing a tool that automatically
generates C++ objects with SOCI insert, update and delete support based on
YAML definition files. Is this something that would be interesting for SOCI
or is it out of scope of the project?
