boost::shared_ptr and stl algorithms
by Bill Eidson 15 Apr '05

15 Apr '05

std::vector< boost::shared_ptr<T> > TVec; I want to write a function object to run std::for_each. to do somework against members of T and accumulate results in functor. My attempts have failed in VC7 with memory errors in my operator() method. struct fo { bool operator()( boost::shared_ptr<T>& t ) { return true; } }; Thanks in advance bille

BGL and reversing / moving edges
by joshrose 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

G'day, I was hoping someone might be able to tell me if they've run into any situations using BGL where they needed to move (or reverse (i.e. flip the source and target)) an edge within a graph implemented as an adjacency_list. I'm working on an implementation of an algorithm for max. weight bipartite matching ("the assignment problem"), and one of the assumptions in the algorithm is that non-matched edges are directed from one subgraph, A, to the other subgraph, B, and matched edges are directed the other way. Over the course of growing the matching, a simple way to add and remove edges from the candidate set is just to reverse the edge, thus the need for some way to reverse the edge within BGL. I don't think I can just remove and then re-add the edge in the other direction, primarily because doing so will (I believe) invalidate any edge_descriptors referring to that edge. In particular, there are property maps keeping track of the weight of edges, the predecessors of certain nodes, etc. that use edge descriptors as keys. I've spent a fair bit of time reading the documentation and looking through the implementation of adjacency_lists (incl. edge_list_impl), and I'm not really sure of a way to either move an edge directly within a graph, or even to create a new edge from another s.t. they have the same edge_descriptor (in general a bad thing, probably). Anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks, -Josh

bjam and windows command line problem.
by Fernando Cacciola 07 May '03

07 May '03

Hi, I'm having a hard time trying to use bjam to build boost 1.29.0. I have Win98 in Spanish, and I use Borland C++ Builder 5.0 (its bcc32.exe corresponds to is BCC5.5.1) I have boost 1.29.0 installed at: "C:\Libraries\boost\Repository\boost" I've downloaded bjam for Microsoft Windows: >bjam -v Boost.Jam Version 3.1.0. OS=NT. Copyright 1993-2002 Christopher Seiwald and Perforce Software, Inc. Copyright 2001 David Turner. Copyright 2001-2002 David Abrahams. I've temporarily modified the root 'jamfile' so that it builds only the Test library. and I've done: subst d: "c:\archivos de programa\borland\cbuilder5" set BCCROOT=d: (you'll see why in a moment) If I try: c:\>cd C:\Libraries\boost\Repository\boost" C:\Libraries\boost\Repository\boost> bjam -sTOOLS=borland I receive messages of the form: borland-C++-action libs\test\build\bin\libpem.lib\borland\debug\runtime-link-static\threading-s ingle\execution_monitor.obj "d:\bin\bcc32" -j5 -q -c -P -w -Ve -Vx -a8 -v -Od -vi- -tWC -WM- -w-8001 -I"libs\test\build" -I"C:\Libraries\boost\Repository\boost" -I"d:\includ e" -o"libs\test\build\bin\libpem.lib\borland\debug\runtime-link-static\thre ading-single\execution_moni Error E2266: No file names given tor.obj" "libs\test\build\../src\execution_monitor.cpp" C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\JAMTMP00.BAT [2] Unknown command "TOR.OBJ" "LIBS\TEST\BUILD\.."

If I'm interpreting this output correctly, the problem is that the command line feed to bcc32 exceeds 256 characters. What can be done about this? Is there a way for 'borland-tools.jam' to put the bcc32 parameters in a tmp response file and use: bcc32.exe @tmprsp.rsp? Any help will be appreciated. TIA, -- Fernando Cacciola

adjacency_matrix
by agiatojon 12 Mar '03

12 Mar '03

Hello all, I'm new to the list and to Boost in general and am trying to use an adjacency_matrix in order to plot coordinates (hopefully that is a good use for it). I just started trying to learn it and have entered the sample program from page 237 into my compiler (VS.NET) Below is the program I have entered. I am getting errors in that print_vertices, print_edges, and print_graph are undefined and are not members of boost. Any help apprechiated! Thanks. /** * adjaMatri.cpp * Nov 7th, 2002 * Boost Graph Library, pg. 237 */ #include <iostream> using std::cout; using std::cin; using std::endl; #include <boost/graph/adjacency_matrix.hpp> using namespace boost; int main() { enum { A, B, C, D, E, F, N }; const char *name = "ABCDEF"; typedef boost::adjacency_matrix<boost::undirectedS> UGraph; UGraph ug(N); add_edge(B, C, ug); add_edge(B, F, ug); add_edge(C, A, ug); add_edge(D, E, ug); add_edge(F, A, ug); cout << "vertex set: "; boost::print_vertices(ug, name); cout << endl; cout << "edge_set: "; boost::print_edges(ug, name); cout << endl; cout << "incident edges: "; boost::print_graph(ug, name); cout << endl; cout << "Press enter to exit..."; cin.get(); return EXIT_SUCCESS; } Jon Agiato JonAgiato(a)nyc.rr.com

VC7 says 'fatal C1067' compiling multi_array?
by Clift Norris 01 Mar '03

01 Mar '03

Greetings: I'm using VC7 and boost_1_29_0 to compile this code that is using multi_array.hpp. typedef boost::multi_array<double, 4> theta4_t; typedef theta4_t::index index; theta4_t Theta_Trun( boost::extents[10000][2][10][256] ); I'm receiving this error: "fatal error C1067: compiler limit: debug information module size exceeded" Of course, the code compiles fine using the "Release" configuration, but I need the "Debug" one also. Is there a workaround for this, other than the 'make your variables shorter' suggested in the VC7 documentation? Thanks, -Clift

bug report: boost::tokenizer with VC6
by Navi Singh 09 Feb '03

09 Feb '03

The boost release 1.28.0 of the tokenizer library has the following problem: There are 5 examples, namely, simple_example_1.cpp thru simple_example_5.cpp If I change the main() in each of the 5 to to main1() thru main5() and return 0; the vc60 compiler generates an internal compiler error when parsing the file boost\iterator_adapters.hpp on line 869, where it is parsing the following lines: reference operator*() const { return policies().dereference(*this); }

ublas - newbie question and comment
by Mike Hayford 07 Jan '03

07 Jan '03

I discovered uBLAS a week ago and am very impressed by the design and implementation of the library. To learn the library I have been porting a few non-linear least squares codes from FORTRAN into uBLAS. A real hinderance is the documentation. There is no user's guide or set of example code to orient the new user to uBLAS. Some of the most valuable features are undocumented - such as scalar_vector, vector_indirect, and matrix_indirect. The widespread adoption of uBLAS by the C++ numeric community would be more rapid if these omissions were addressed. I would be willing to write up some of the *simple* examples I have done, if people think it would be useful. If my implementations can be improved, that would be even better. I'm new to Boost and haven't yet completely RTFM'd the requirements for Boost doc contributions so point me in the right direction if I'm going astray here. Having said that, I have a specific problem I'm trying to solve. I'm looking for the best "uBLAS-style" solution - I can do an element-by-element brute force solution. Problem: write the product of a diagonal matrix and a vector when the diagonal matrix is stored as a vector. So what I want to do figuratively is: int n = 5; vector<double> x(n), y(n), diag(n); diagonal_matrix<double> dMat(n); dMat = diag; x = prod(dMat, y); Is there a matrix adaptor of some sort that can fill the role of diagonal_matrix<> above? I looked in the header files and didn't see anything obvious. Thanks in adavance for your help. Mike Hayford --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

RegEx: (?= ) and (?! )
by Yutaka Emura <yutaka＠emurasoft.com> 02 Jan '03

02 Jan '03

Hi, I am using RegEx in Boost v1.29.0. (?= ) and (?! ) expressions do not seem to work at a certain condition. In the following example, "(?=a)b" should match "b" in "xyzabcdefg", but does not. Similarly, "(?!a)b" should not match "b" in "xyzabcdefg" but it does. Can please let me know what is wrong? Thank you for your reply in advance. Yutaka Emura --------- boost::regex expression; boost::match_results<std::string::const_iterator> subexp; expression.assign("(?=a)b", boost::regbase::perl); if (boost::regex_search((std::string::const_iterator)"xyzabcdefg", (std::string::const_iterator)"xyzabcdefg" + 10, subexp, expression, boost::match_default)) { { // should go here } else { // goes here } expression.assign("(!=a)b", boost::regbase::perl); if (boost::regex_search((std::string::const_iterator)"xyzabcdefg", (std::string::const_iterator)"xyzabcdefg" + 10, subexp, expression, boost::match_default)) { { // goes here } else { // should go here }
