undefined reference to boost::detail::graph::read_graphviz
by Irek Szczesniak 12 Apr '06

12 Apr '06

Hi, I have a problem with the Boost Graph Library: I'm unable to link with the read_graphviz function. I'm using Boost v. 1.33.1 on Fedora Core 3, Linux 2.6.10, gcc 3.4.4. I try to compile the example boost_1_33_1/libs/graph/example/graphviz.cpp. > g++ -I /usr/local/include/boost-1_33_1/ /home/ijs/boost_1_33_1/libs/graph/src/libbgl-viz.a graphviz.cpp /tmp/ccBWKH7i.o(.gnu.linkonce.t._ZN5boost13read_graphvizINS_14adjacency_listINS_4vecSES2_NS_11undirectedSENS_8propertyINS_13vertex_name_tESsNS_11no_propertyEEENS4_INS_13edge_weight_tEdS6_EES6_NS_5listSEEEEEbRSiRT_RNS_18dynamic_propertiesERKSs+0x6e): In function `bool boost::read_graphviz<boost::adjacency_list<boost::vecS, boost::vecS, boost::undirectedS, boost::property<boost::vertex_name_t, std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, boost::no_property>, boost::property<boost::edge_weight_t, double, boost::no_property>, boost::no_property, boost::listS> >(std::basic_istream<char, std::char_traits<char> >&, boost::adjacency_list<boost::vecS, boost::vecS, boost::undirectedS, boost::property<boost::vertex_name_t, std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, boost::no_property>, boost::property<boost::edge_weight_t, double, boost::no_property>, boost::no_property, boost::listS>&, boost::dynamic_properties&, std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > const&)': : undefined reference to `boost::detail::graph::read_graphviz(std::basic_istream<char, std::char_traits<char> >&, boost::detail::graph::mutate_graph&)' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status I would appreciate any advice.

[xpressive] Glitch with example project re xpressive_typeof.hpp
by Lynn Allan 11 Apr '06

11 Apr '06

<alert comment="boost newbie"> Thanks for providing the example project for demonstrating usage of xpressive. As a windows developer with minimal stl / boost experience, it is a terrific aid for "getting up to speed" (and could be a model for other libraries to provide "baby steps with training wheels" sample code?). Just a glitch: The vc7.1 project file has a reference to xpressive_typeof.hpp, which refers to the non-existent file <boost/typeof/typeof.hpp> ... and it goes downhill from there. The project doesn't actually use xpressive_typeof.hpp, so the example project still compiles/links ok .... I suppose this is an obsolete reference reflecting an earlier configuration? HTH, </alert>

Serialization: hugo file size, binary archives
by Sascha Ochsenknecht 11 Apr '06

11 Apr '06

Hello, I'm using the Serialization Library of Boost to store my data structure. I want to use the binary archive type by default: boost::archive::binary_oarchive(ostream &s) // saving boost::archive::binary_iarchive(istream &s) // loading But I noticed that these files can be very big compared to the stored data. I got a binary archive with around 1.5GByte. That could be but when I compress it I got only ~200MByte left (!). It seems that there is a lot of 'overhead' data or 'redundant' data (I see a lot of '0' when I look into it with an Hex editor). i tried the gzip (...) filter of the Iostreams library, but I want to avoid this for production due to increasing runtime. Some Information about my data structure (maybe helpful): - using a lot of pointer - using a lot of std::vector Does anybody investigate the same problem? Is there a possibility to decrease the archive size but storing the same amount of data? What could be a solution? Writing an own/optimized (regarding to my data structure) Archive class? thanks in advance Sascha

The alterantive might, but I am unsure of the syntax and how to use it - could you add any detail? At the moment, it seems like a robust option is to use macros, and simply redefine the function name to whatever I want - quick and simple, but not very templatey!! James

[shared_ptr] commit/rolback
by Denis G. Priyomov 11 Apr '06

11 Apr '06

Wouldn't it be nice to extend shared_ptr to support transaction-like semantics? Or is it possible already? Sometimes it's needed to execute code on exit only until we haven't reached some point (of "no return"): { shared_ptr<void> cr_guard(static_cast<void*>(0), bind(rollback_fun, x, y)); [...some critical part which should call rollback_fun on failure only...] //don't call rollback_fun if we get here cr_guard.commit(); [...any code that follows...] } Thanks! Wish you well! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Denis G. Priyomov

You can use a boost::function<void (T &)> instance in your class to point to the correct member function you want to call. Alternatively, you may try to use member function pointer: template <typename T, void (Observer::*Notify)(T & )> class .... { } Just my 5 cents... Cheers, Freddie

Validating a URI according to RFC 3986 using boost::regex
by Jean-Sebastien Vachon 11 Apr '06

11 Apr '06

Hi All, I'm trying to use the regex library in order to validate a generic URI according to the regular expression specified in RFC 3986 - Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): Generic Syntax. Here is the expression: ^(([^:/?#]+):)?(//([^/?#]*))?([^?#]*)(\?([^#]*))?(#(.*))? As far as I know this is a POSIX compliant regex. I'm building my regex with the following flags: boost::regex::basic | boost::regex::icase Here is the complete code: bool RegExPOSIXValidator::IsValid(const std::string &oName) const { /* -------------------------------------------------------------------- */ /* Build the Regular Expression */ /* -------------------------------------------------------------------- */ boost::regex re(moRegex, boost::regex::basic | boost::regex::icase); return boost::regex_match(oName, re); } The function is returning false for the following URI: http://dimitrov@www.google.ca:88/index1.html?name=dimitrov#title Which seem valid to me. Unless there is something I don't see. I try doubling the \ in front of the ? at the end of the expression as a solution but it didn't help. Any idea?

serialization of shared_ptrs with non-default deleter and factory construction
by Mikko Vainio 11 Apr '06

11 Apr '06

Dear Sirs, Does anyone have a working example of serialization of shared_ptrs with non-default deleter and factory construction as described in http://www.boost.org/libs/smart_ptr/sp_techniques.html#preventing_delete ? The code below (correctly) triggers error in boost/checked_delete.hpp because the destructor of class X is private. #include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <boost/archive/text_oarchive.hpp> #include <boost/archive/text_iarchive.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/export.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/shared_ptr.hpp> #include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp> class X { private: ~X(); class deleter; friend class deleter; class deleter { public: void operator()(X * p) { delete p; } }; friend class boost::serialization::access; template< typename Archive > void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version) { ar & some_data; } public: static boost::shared_ptr<X> create() { boost::shared_ptr<X> px(new X, X::deleter()); return px; } int some_data; }; inline std::ostream& operator<<( std::ostream& os, const X& x ) { return os << "x = " << x.some_data << std::endl; } using namespace std; int main ( int argc, char* argv[] ) { boost::shared_ptr<X> x = X::create(); x->some_data = 1; cout << *x; std::ofstream ofs("filename"); boost::archive::text_oarchive oa(ofs); oa & x; ofs.close(); std::ifstream ifs("filename", std::ios::binary); boost::archive::text_iarchive ia(ifs); x->some_data = 3; cout << *x; ia & x; cout << *x; } I'm using boost 1.33.1 and gcc 4.0.1 on linux. Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
