object_pool use ordered_malloc ordered_free. why?
by wugui 05 Dec '02

boost_1_28_0 if construct only, and freeall in ~object_pool. i think it is good. can i use object_pool to replace 'new delete'? the destroy is slow. thank for any advice. newbie and not good at english. full test code: #include <boost/pool/object_pool.hpp> #include <vector> #include <iostream> #include <time.h> #include <stdlib.h> struct Some { std::string ss; int ii; char cc[32]; }; int main(int argc, char * argv[]) { boost::object_pool<Some> pool; std::vector<Some*> v_Some; int count = 20000; time_t t = time(0); std::cout << ctime(&t) << std::endl; for (int i=0; i<count; ++i) { Some * s = pool.construct(); if (s) v_Some.push_back(s); else break; } t = time(0); std::cout << v_Some.size() << ctime(&t) << std::endl; if (argc > 1) { // fast for (std::vector<Some*>::reverse_iterator it = v_Some.rbegin(); it != v_Some.rend(); ++it) pool.destroy(*it); } else { // slow for (std::vector<Some*>::iterator it = v_Some.begin(); it != v_Some.end(); ++it) pool.destroy(*it); } t = time(0); std::cout << ctime(&t) << std::endl; return 0; }

Thank you, that worked. I see what I was doing wrong. One thing I don't understand about the alternative method... > boost::try_mutex::scoped_try_lock lock(mutex); // does a try_lock > while (!lock) { > cout << "trying..."; > lock.try_lock(); > } How does "!lock" in the "while (!lock) { ... }" statement determine whether it's true or false? Does it call a function in the scoped_try_lock class? (sorry if that's a lame question...) Thanks again for the help, very much appreciated.

Boost.Threads question

Hi, I'm a newbie to C++ and Boost and I'm trying to port a threaded C program I have to Boost.Threads. I'm trying to use scoped_try_lock to test a lock on mutex and it's not working. I'm obviously doing something wrong but I can't figure it out. Below is the source code. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, James SOURCE: #include <iostream> #include <boost/thread/thread.hpp> #include <boost/thread/exceptions.hpp> using namespace std; boost::try_mutex mutex; void thread_test( void ) { cout << "thread: locking mutex\n"; { boost::try_mutex::scoped_try_lock lock(mutex); cout << "thread: sleeping for 10 seconds\n"; sleep(10); } cout << "thread: unlocked mutex - goodbye!\n"; return; } int main( void ) { cout << "main: creating thread\n"; boost::thread thread(thread_test); cout << "main: sleeping for 2 seconds\n"; sleep(2); cout << "main: trying to lock mutex\n"; boost::try_mutex::scoped_try_lock lock(mutex,true); while ( !lock.try_lock() ) cout << "main: retrying to lock mutex\n"; cout << "main: joining thread\n"; thread.join(); cout << "main: thread joined\n"; return 0; }

compose, bind and a doubled ref problem
by Markus Werle 04 Dec '02

04 Dec '02

Hi! The code below compiles fine if You return to Value semantics and replace "const Vector&" with "Vector". But with reference to vector two compilers (Intel-7.0 and gcc-3.2.1) "throw" with a "reference to reference" error. How can I achieve what I want here? Do I have to apply cref somewhere? I do not want to change the type of "l" in this example. Also the signature of Vector::operator() and GetValue is fixed. Anything else may undergo a change. #include <iostream> #include <cstddef> #include "boost/function.hpp" #include "boost/bind.hpp" #include "boost/compose.hpp" struct Vector { double operator()(size_t j) const { std::cerr << "get value at index " << j << std::endl; return 99.0; } }; double GetValue(const Vector& V, size_t j) { return V(j); } double Add(double d1, double d2) { return d1 + d2; } int main() { using namespace boost; Vector V; function<double (const Vector&, size_t)> g = GetValue; function<double (const Vector&)> h1 = bind(g, _1, 5); function<double (const Vector&)> h2 = bind(g, _1, 4); function<double (double, double)> Adder = Add; function<double (const Vector&)> l = compose_f_gx_hx(Adder, h1, h2); std::cerr << l(V) << std::endl; }

error linking debug version boost_regex with Solaris compiler

03 Dec '02

I compiled boost_regex lib on Solaris using the following compiler: > CC -V CC: Sun WorkShop 6 update 2 C++ 5.3 2001/05/15 The version without using -g links fine, however, when I compiled the lib with -g option using provided makefile sunpro_dbx.mk, the lib was built OK; then I tried to compile provided test programs using libs/regex/test/regress/sunpro_dbx.mk, I got the following error: > make -f sunpro_dbx.mak mkdir -p r mkdir -p rm rm -f *.o rm -fr SunWS_cache CC -I../../../../ -I./ -L../../build/sunpro_dbx -g -o r/regress tests.cpp parse.cpp regress.cpp -lboost_regex tests.cpp: parse.cpp: regress.cpp: Undefined first referenced symbol in file boost::detail::allocator<unsigned char>::allocator<char>#Nvariant 1 (const boost::detail::allocator<__type_1>&) /fsys/home/zhangku/re/libs/regex/ test/regress/SunWS_cache/CC_obj_O/OhCenAP7d5aN-_Bfr3wh.o boost::detail::allocator<unsigned char>::allocator<wchar_t>#Nvariant 1 (const boost::detail::allocator<__type_1>&) ../../build/sunpro_dbx/libboost_r egex.so ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors.

Lambda questions
by Claus Rasmussen 02 Dec '02

02 Dec '02

Is it possible to discern one-argument lambda expressions from two-argument expressions ? I would like to do something like this: template<typename UNARY_LAMBDA_FUNC> void f(UNARY_LAMBDA_FUNC ulf) { ulf(arg); } template<typename BINARY_LAMBDA_FUNC> void f(BINARY_LAMBDA_FUNC blf) { blf(arg1, arg2); } -Claus

I had looked at the minimum spanning tree docs a bit, I thought it looked pretty good. The docs say undirected graph though. I'm currently using a directed graph. I suppose I could create a separate graph. Oh, I see, create an undirected graph with weights as you said, and use the minimum spanning algorithm to choose the useful edges. I like it, hope it works.

I'm using the topological sort for determining a build order.
