C++ 0x and boost in Visual studio 2010

first download and install the compiled binary from http://www.boostpro.com/download/

so you can skip the compiling the boost by yourself.

open VC++, get a new console application

then set the additional include to the the path for boost

paste the following code to the main cpp file

// boost_acc.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
#include <boost/accumulators/accumulators.hpp>
#include <boost/accumulators/statistics/stats.hpp>
#include <boost/accumulators/statistics/mean.hpp>
#include <boost/accumulators/statistics/moment.hpp>

using namespace std;
using namespace boost::accumulators;

void showPtr(void*& ptr){
    cout << "Input pointer address is:   " << ptr <<endl;
}

int main(){

   int x = 1; auto y = x;
   void* p=&x;showPtr(p);
         p=&y;showPtr(p);
   typedef decltype(y) Tv;
   // Create a vector object with each element set to 1.
   vector<Tv> v(10);
   // Define an accumulator set for calculating the mean and the 2nd moment ...
   accumulator_set<Tv, stats<tag::mean, tag::moment<2>>> acc;

   // Assign each element in the vector to the sum of the previous two elements.
   generate_n(v.begin() + 2, v.size() - 2, [=,&acc]() mutable throw() -> Tv {
      // Generate current value.Update previous two values.
      auto n = x + y; x = y; y = n;
      acc(n);
      return n;
   });

   for_each(v.begin(), v.end(), [](const Tv& n) { cout << &n << " "<<endl; });

   // Display the results ...
   std::cout << "Mean:   " << mean(acc) << std::endl;
   std::cout << "Moment: " << moment<2>(acc) << std::endl;

   return 0;
}

press ctrl+F5, you can see the code being compiled and executed.
