[program_options] crashes when calling po::store
by Jens Müller 21 Dec '06

21 Dec '06

[Note: I already posted this on -devel. The used CVS version of Boost is now about one week old.] I have the following program: #include <string> #include <iostream> #include <boost/program_options.hpp> namespace po = boost::program_options; int main(char argc,char** argv) { using std::string; // Kommandozeile parsen po::options_description desc("Allowed options"); desc.add_options() ("help,H", "print help message") ; po::variables_map vm; po::store(po::parse_command_line(argc, argv, desc), vm) ; po::notify(vm); if (vm.count("help")) { std::cout << desc << "\n"; return 1; } } Results when building with 1.33.1 headers and linking against 1.33.1 libs: $ cc -c -o separator2.o -g -Wall -Wno-deprecated -pipe -O -I. -I/home/jmueller/software/boost/include separator2.cpp $ cc -lboost_program_options-gcc-d -L/home/jmueller/software/boost/lib -o separator2 separator2.o $ ./separator2 $ ./separator2 --help Allowed options: -H [ --help ] print help message Results when building with CVS headers and linking against CVS libs: $ cc -c -o separator2.o -g -Wall -Wno-deprecated -pipe -O -I. -I/home/jmueller/software/boost-cvs/include separator2.cpp $ cc -lboost_program_options-gcc-d -L/home/jmueller/software/boost-cvs/lib -o separator2 separator2.o $ ./separator2 --help Segmentation fault My compiler: $ cc -v Using built-in specs.

compiling only regex library
by I.B. 21 Dec '06

21 Dec '06

Hi , i want to use boost regex++ for my project but dont want to compile all boost libraries for now, so i compiled using option: --with-regex got no errors, and result library: boost_regex-gcc-1_33_1.a copied all boost_<version>/boost headers to $HOME/include directory is like this: $HOME/include/boost/regex.hpp have a simple test.cpp file that uses: boost::regex_search(...) i compiled like this: g++ -o trun test.cpp -I/home/ig3/include -L/home/ig3/lib -lboost_regex-gcc-1_33_1 got following error: test.cpp: In function `int main(int, char**)': test.cpp:26: no matching function for call to `regex_search( __gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<const char*, std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > >&, __gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<char*, std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > >, boost::cmatch&, boost::regex&)' i wonder why is that. Thought iterator is a template that shouldnt be compiled. Headers should be enough. I dont have problems compiling all boost libraries. I do understand c++ but libraries make my head heart yet. please, anyone, explain me ~igrek

Linking to boost::iostreams, frustrated.
by Bo Peng 21 Dec '06

21 Dec '06

Dear all, I have tried several hours to link to a mingw built boost_iostreams under windows without success. Out of desperation, I turned to linux where I have a boost/cvs installed. Using a very simple test program: #include <boost/iostreams/filtering_stream.hpp> #include <boost/iostreams/filter/gzip.hpp> #include <boost/iostreams/device/file.hpp> namespace io = boost::iostreams; int main(int argc, char ** argv) { io::filtering_ostream ofs; ofs.push(io::gzip_compressor()); ofs.push(io::file_sink("test.txt")); ofs << "this is a test script\n"; return(0); } And > g++ -I/usr/include/boost-1_35 -lboost_iostreams-gcc34-d test.cpp would success and run fine, but > g++ -I/usr/include/boost-1_35 -static -lboost__iostreams-gcc34-d test.cpp will generate a bunch of undefined references like: /tmp/cc2T22tx.o(.text+0x1af): In function `main': : undefined reference to `boost::iostreams::zlib::default_strategy' /tmp/cc2T22tx.o(.text+0x1c0): In function `main': : undefined reference to `boost::iostreams::zlib::deflated' /tmp/cc2T22tx.o(.text+0x1c6): In function `main': : undefined reference to `boost::iostreams::zlib::default_compression' /tmp/cc2T22tx.o(.gnu.linkonce.t._ZN5boost9iostreams21basic_gzip_compressorISaIcEEC1ERKNS0_11gzip_paramsEi+0x1e8): In function `boost::iostreams::basic_gzip_compressor<std::allocator<char> >::basic_gzip_compressor(boost::iostreams::gzip_params const&, int)': Can anyone guess what is going on?

Boost.Python tutorial: not exporting inithello w/ MinGW
by Maximilian Wilson 21 Dec '06

21 Dec '06

[Re-send] I have an issue which seems to have come up earlier this year, and I was wondering if it had been resolved: http://groups.google.com/group/boost-list/browse_frm/thread/53bbf2a4e0e94e6… This is the same as my problem except I haven't verified with a manual build. When I build the tutorial example, hello.pyd doesn't appear to contain an inithello method: C:\Temp\shedskin-0.0.15>python Python 2.4.3 - Enthought Edition 1.0.0 (#69, Aug 2 2006, 12:09:59) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import hello Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (inithello) >>> I built the .dll and .pyd straight from the unmodified Boost.Python tutorial files, using MinGW g++ 3.4.5 and Python 2.4. Is there something I'm leaving out, or is this a bug in MinGW and/or bjam? Thanks, Max -- Be pretty if you are, be witty if you can, But be cheerful if it kills you.

boost::algorithm::join
by Maxim Volkov 21 Dec '06

21 Dec '06

Hi, all. Why there is no boost::algorithm::join in boost_1_33_1. There's no join.hppfile at all. But it is decribed in the documentation. So what's wrong? And where can I get a version with this algorithm?

[Diverting to boost-users because this regards boost-threads usage, not development]. You might find the attached code interesting as an example of how things could be structured. The loop in main() spends most of it's time blocked on a getc call (which would presumably correspond to some sort of event pump in your app), but a separate thread (the "master") manages a pool of worker threads (initially 1; another one is added each time you hit return on the console). Each thread runs for 10s printing '.' every second then terminates; if the worker count reaches zero the master terminates too. To be concise the code uses volatile bools to communicate state between threads; in any sort of real code these would probably be mutex-protected structures or std::deques. The real key to the whole thing is the boost::condition, which allows the master thread to notice both keypresses from main() and completing workers. Note there's no boost::barriers to be seen. [Attached code compiles with gcc threadmaster.cpp -o threadmaster \ -g -pthread -lboost_thread -lpthread on Debian Sarge with appropriate boost packages installed]. Tim

[Graph] Python BGL memory leak (or not...)
by Hugo Ferreira 20 Dec '06

20 Dec '06

Hi, It seems I'm having a memory leak after calling dijkstra_shortest_paths several times. Either I'm wrong, or the predecessor_map is not being deleted. The call I have is something like this: p = self.graph.vertex_property_map('vertex') boost.dijkstra_shortest_paths(self.graph, self.vertexes[src], predecessor_map = p, weight_map = self.weights) Then I manipulate p to get the shortest_path between two points, and exit the function. Still, even after a gc.collect(), the memory keeps getting bigger (and because my graph has about 1 million vertexes, it gets REALLY bigger). Any thoughts on how to force the memory allocation for the predecessor_map? Thanks in advance, Hugo Ferreira -- GPG Fingerprint: B0D7 1249 447D F5BB 22C5 5B9B 078C 2615 504B 7B85
