Boost :: lexical_cast and structure of non-strict types

I have (maybe) a simple problem with boost :: lexical_cast with composite types (in my case std::vector .

My first version of the patterned line function was as follows

 template <typename T> std::string stringiy(const T &t) { std::ostringstream o; o<< t; return o.str(); }

and working example:

 vector<int> x(10,-3; cout << stringify<vector<int> >(x) << endl;

with output "-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3"~ but for performance reasons I want to use boost::lexical_cast

Now I have changed the implementation of the function:

 template <typename T> std::string stringiy(const T &t) { return boost::lexical_cast<string>(t); }

while this method works for built-in types, it stops working for cases like the previous one when it is used for std::vector

The problem remains (it does not compile) if you create a specialized template for vectors

 template <typename T> std::string stringiy(const std::vector<T> &t) { vector<string> strret = num2str(t); string r; for ( vector<string>::iterator iter = strret.begin(); iter!=strret.end(); ++iter ) r.append(*iter); return r; }

Any suggestion?

You probably specified your operator<< vector for vectors in the global namespace, and boost::lexical_cast will only look in the boost:: namespace and in the std:: , where ostream defined. Try adding your overload to the std:: namespace by wrapping the declaration and definition of operator<< in namespace std { ... } .

I may be here, but personally, I think that it will be better for you, rather than trying to create a container that you create for all containers using the "serialize" method.

EDIT: FIXED

 template<typename Container> std::string serialize_container(const Container& container) { std::stringstream ss; std::copy(container.begin(), container.end(), std::ostream_iterator<typename Container::value_type>(ss,"-")); return ss.str(); }

EDIT: if you want to use a vector with stringify then you will do it like this.

 template <typename T, typename A=void> std::string stringiy(const T& t) { //... } template <typename T, typename A> std::string stringiy(const std::vector<T, A>& container) { std::stringstream ss; //if << is overloaded for vector ss << container; /*//else std::copy(container.begin(), container.end(), std::ostream_iterator<T>(ss,"-")); // std::ostream_iterator<typename Container::value_type>(ss,"-")); */ return ss.str(); }

NB untested, but that's the point.
