For most of the Boost library items, the header *IS* the entire library (that's the power of templates for you :-) The exceptions are the Python, Regex, Signal and Thread libraries - those you need to build.

There are separate lists for Python and the Boost.build system (details at http://www.boost.org/more/mailing_lists.htm). Other than that, everything goes through here. -- Jim

A newbie question.
by Amit Bhatia 18 Jun '03

18 Jun '03

Hi, I have just downloaded boost 1.3.0 a couple of days ago. While going thropugh the documentation I read that it is not necessary to build the library, completely. As of now the uBLAS and the random number library seem to be most useful to me. I have this doubt that is it equally good practice to just include the .hpp files rather than building the whole libary. Does it mean a very messy code, and a rather very different way of compilation, etc ? Also was just wondering if there are seperate disc groups for each set of libaries like numerics/math in one place ? Thanks, amit.

Thanks to all for helping. As soon as I changed the account of the service, it worked which led me to believe it just wasn't finding the DLL, which in fact was the problem. All is working now. Thanks for all the great help and ideas!

Windows services have to respond to the Windows Service Control Manager (SCM) within a certain amount of time (a few seconds as I recall) or the SCM will assume the start has failed. How long is your Regex taking? Perhaps you should put the Regex in another thread so that your SCM responses are timely.... HTH, Jeff Yahoo!

Python and hello.World class example
by David Brownell 18 Jun '03

18 Jun '03

I am trying to run the hello.World class example in the tutorial and am running into problems. I can compile the dll fine, and then copy the dll (and the boost_python.dll) into my python directory, and then start my Python interpreter. The library will import, but when I call either the greet or set methods, I get the following errors from within the Python interpreter: [greet]: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ? TypeError: unbound method Boost.Python.function object must be called with World instance as first argument (got str instance instead) [set]: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ? TypeError: unbound method Boost.Python.function object must be called with World instance as first argument (got nothing instead) I am failrly new to Python and even newer to Boost.Python, so there may be something very basic that I am missing. I am using boost 1.30, bjam to compile, MSVC 7.1, Python 2.2, and Windows XP. Note that I can compile and successfully execute the inital Hello World example (hello.cpp in the tutorial subdir). Thanks in advance for your help! David Brownell

Newbie: BGL: g++ -O2 or -O3 gives wrong numbers
by michael_wangzy 18 Jun '03

HI, I start looking at the Graph library and try the quick_tour.cpp on my machine. Here is something wrong I found out > gcc --vesion gcc (GCC) 3.3 (Gentoo Linux 1.4, PVR 3.3) > g++ -o test -O2 quick_tour.cpp > ./test vertices(g) = A B C D E edges(g) = (A,B) (A,D) (C,A) (D,C) (C,E) (B,D) (D,E) vertex: 0 out-edges: (0,134545512) (0,134545536) in-edges: (2,0) adjacent vertices: 134545512 134545536 vertex: 1 out-edges: (1,134545632) in-edges: (0,1) adjacent vertices: 134545632 vertex: 2 out-edges: (2,134545560) (2,134545608) in-edges: (3,2) adjacent vertices: 134545560 134545608 vertex: 3 out-edges: (3,134545584) (3,134545656) in-edges: (0,3) (1,3) adjacent vertices: 134545584 134545656 vertex: 4 out-edges: in-edges: (2,4) (3,4) adjacent vertices: digraph G { graph [ rankdir="LR", ratio="fill", size="3,3"]; node [ shape="circle"]; 0[label="A"]; 1[label="B"]; 2[label="C"]; 3[label="D"]; 4[label="E"]; 0->1 [label="1.2"]; 0->3 [label="4.5"]; 2->0 [label="2.6"]; 3->2 [label="0.4"]; 2->4 [label="5.2"]; 1->3 [label="1.8"]; 3->4 [label="3.3"]; } Note: the large numbers in the out-edges , like 134545512. Expected numbers are 0,1,2,3,4. Seems some fields are not initilized but read. Note: I tried gcc-3.2.3 and got same results Note: Without -O2 it is fine. My newbie questions are: 1) Is it compiler issue or BGL issue? Cannot we use optimization of gcc when using BGL? 2) I suppose gcc3.3 is good so if this is an BGL issue, where could the thing go wrong? How to fix it? Thanks, Michael

Okay, I now know how to attach to a process - cool! Thanks for that.. However, it looks like when I comment out the following: Regex expression(strMask); The service can start and I can attach and run through it, but if I uncomment it (which is what I need to do), essentially it IMMEDIATELY fails with a ERROR 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion. Is it possible that its not finding the proper libraries or a permissions problem is happening? Thanks Loren -----Original Message----- From: Mark Sizer [mailto:yg-boost-users@m.gmane.org] Sent: Saturday, June 14, 2003 6:48 PM To: boost-users(a)yahoogroups.com Subject: [Boost-Users] Re: Regex in a service.. Yes, you can debug it. After starting the service, open the Task Manager and get the process ID. Then type "msdev -p <pid>" on a command line. If the error happens too quickly (e.g. on startup), put an infinite loop at the very start and break out of it with the debugger. int i=1; while (i > 0 ); is my favorite. Just change i to zero and everything starts going as normal (just don't forget to take it out!). Good Luck, - Mark P.S. I'm using regex in a service and it's working fine (at least I assume it is, nothing noticably bad has happened). MSVC 6, boost_1_30_0, W2K AS and W2K Pro.

Maximum flow algorithms for interactive application
by Kai-Peter B�ckman 17 Jun '03

17 Jun '03

Hello fellow Boost users, I have been using the boost.graph library in an interactive application for solving the maximum flow problem using the push_relabel algorith. The application consists of the user building the graph network interactively, node by node and edge by edge. Currently the maximum flow for the whole system is recalculated after each change. In addition to the total maximum flow the individual flows in all edges are used by the application. The problem is that interactivity is lost when the amount of nodes approaches 10k with the number of edges varying between 20k-40k. My question is: Is there an algorithm that would let me quickly calculate the changed maxium flow solution after each change without needing to do the global calculations again? The idea here would be to amortize the running time over each interactive change and thus keep response times acceptable (<200ms). My intuition tells me something like this should be possible, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel. Thank you in advance. If someone replies by email I will summarize to the group. Have a nice summer. -- Kai-Peter Bäckman, kai-peter.backman(a)mistaril.com http://www.mistaril.com - Space Station Manager - PC strategy game
