ERROR (?) in interplay between uBLAS and STL algorithms.
by Pascal Bauer 28 Mar '06

28 Mar '06

Hi List, I created a (stl vector) of matrix_rows from the boost uBLAS. This seems to work fine. But somehow, the interplay with the stl algorithms seems then not to work. If I compile the code, i would expect a list of all the rows, ordered by the first row entry. But to sort algorithms seems to create multiple copies of the same matrix row. Can someone tell me, what is going wrong there? I'm using the gcc version 4.0.2 20050901 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux). Many thanks for advises how to make this work. Here the Code: #include <boost/numeric/ublas/matrix.hpp> #include <boost/numeric/ublas/matrix_proxy.hpp> #include <boost/numeric/ublas/io.hpp> #include <vector> #include <algorithm> namespace num = boost::numeric::ublas; typedef num::matrix<double> matrix_type; typedef num::matrix_row<matrix_type> matrix_row; typedef std::vector<matrix_row> data_proxy; template <int N> class Ordering { public: bool operator()(const matrix_row& row_1, const matrix_row& row_2) { return row_1(N) < row_2(N); } }; int main(int argc, char* argv) { const size_t N_1 = 25; const size_t M_1 = 10; const size_t N_2 = 20; const size_t M_2 = 10; matrix_type Data_1(N_1, M_1); matrix_type Data_2(N_2, M_2); data_proxy my_proxy; for (size_t i = 0; i < N_1; ++i) { Data_1(i, 0) = i; my_proxy.push_back(matrix_row(Data_1, i) ); } for (size_t j = 0; j < N_2; ++j) { Data_2(j, 0) = 0.5 + j; my_proxy.push_back(matrix_row(Data_2, j) ); } data_proxy copy(my_proxy); std::sort(my_proxy.begin(), my_proxy.end(), Ordering<0>() ); for (size_t i = 0; i < my_proxy.size(); ++i) { std::cout << my_proxy[i] << std::endl; } }

RegEx Exception
by Michael Primeaux 28 Mar '06

28 Mar '06

I'm using the latest version of the boost regex libraries and am receiving an exception when using the regex_replace function with the following regular expression: (?i)(?<!')((<\s*OBJECT\s*[^>]+classid="clsid:[^>]+?(?<!\s*/\s*)>[^*]+?<\s*/\ s*OBJECT\s*>)|(<\s*OBJECT\s*[^>]+classid=\s*\"clsid:[^/>]+/)) ..which works in other industry standard regex library routines. I seem to be failing on line 767 of basic_regex_creator.hpp. Any assistance is appreciated. Kindest regards, Michael Primeaux

Not everyone needs to map between strings and enumerations

Boost.Filesystem is there a way to lock files/directories and set their permissions?
by Elisha Berns 28 Mar '06

28 Mar '06

Hi, Is there a way to use Boost.Filesystem to lock file and directories and also set file and directory permissions? From the documentation there appears to be none, so can this feature be added to the next version? Elisha Berns e.berns(a)computer.org tel. (310) 556 - 8332 fax (310) 556 - 2839

By defn, static_cast does not provide runtime checks. You should use an enum class or something. Boost needs scoped enums! Anyway, I've used this with varying degrees of success but its not really easy to specialize: #include <cassert> struct MyEnum { enum type { a,b,c, min=a, max=c }; }; template<typename Enum> typename Enum::type convert_enum(int a) { typedef typename Enum::type type_; assert(a >= Enum::min && a <= Enum::max); return type_(a); } int main() { MyEnum::type b(convert_enum<MyEnum>(0)); // ok MyEnum::type a(convert_enum<MyEnum>(5)); // dies } > -----Original Message----- > From: boost-users-bounces(a)lists.boost.org > [mailto:boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org] On Behalf Of > Oliver.Kowalke(a)infineon.com > Sent: Sunday, March 26, 2006 10:42 PM > To: boost-users(a)lists.boost.org > Subject: [Boost-users] safe assign of int to enum > > Hello, > is a technique available in boost in order to assign an int value to a > enum? > > enum E > { > e1 = 1, > e2 = 2, > e3 = 3 > }; > > E e( static_cast< E >( 1) ); // should work > > E e( static_cast< E >( 5) ); // should throw exception at runtime > > Regards, > Oliver > _______________________________________________ > Boost-users mailing list > Boost-users(a)lists.boost.org > http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users >

[Nat] I have long wished the compiler would support mapping enums to/from string. If you have a maintainable way to do that, I'm very interested.

Re: [Boost-users] Serialization library question

I removed the extra BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_GUID(bus_stop, "bus_stop"), and unfortunately, it core dumped in the same place. Wayne Liu ---- original message ---- Date: Mon, 27 Mar 2006 08:15:35 -0800 From: "Robert Ramey" <ramey(a)rrsd.com> Subject: Re: [Boost-users] Serialization library question To: boost-users(a)lists.boost.org Message-ID: <e09334$60o$1(a)sea.gmane.org> This looks like it should work. I'll look at it more carefully later. Note that the BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_GUID(bus_stop, "bus_stop") should be superfluous since an instance of an abstract class cannot be created. Try removing this and see if it works. Let me know what happens. If that fixes it - I would like to know. Robert Ramey

Newbie question regarding complation with Visual Studia .NET
by Vijay Choudhary 27 Mar '06

27 Mar '06

Hi, I am using STLport-4.5.3 and I am also using Microsoft Visual C++ .NET (Microsoft Development Environment 2003 Version 7.1.3088)as IDE for my project. I am trying to use regex in my application but I have some doubts and I am not able to link my application with boost_1_33_1. * Where should STLPORT_PATH should point to. I have set it to "C:\STLport" where STLport contains directories such as "STLport-4.5.3" etc. Is that correct? * Then I switched to directory c:\boost\boost_1_33_1\libs\regex\build * Then I run "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\bin\vcvars32.bat" * Then I run the following command nmake -f vc71-stlport.mak. It works OK. * When I run the following command "nmake -fvc71-stlport.mak install" I got an error as follows: Building Boost.Regex without ICU / Unicode support Hint:set ICU_PATH on the name command line to point to your ICU installation if you have one. NMAKE : fatal error U1073: Don't know how to make '"C:\STLport\stlport\string"' Stop. Any help will be highly appreciated!

How to Exit from boost threads
by gauravz 27 Mar '06

27 Mar '06

Hi friends Could some 1 please tell me how to trap the boost exit functions...I am using Boost threads in my client server application. Using to control sendto and recvfrom udp functions. Client sends information to server but server doesnt recive in information but rather goes into some loop and never comes out of it. And last this code is working fine in command promt i.e, in console project(c++) but its not working in windows (c++) mode.
