Binary 1.34 installer
by Luigi Ballabio 12 Jun '07

12 Jun '07

Hi all, I'm one of the developers of a project that requires a few Boost libraries. First of all, thanks to the people at Boost Consulting who made the binary installer available; we have a constant stream of new users asking for instructions on how to build Boost, and let's just say that since the installer was released for version 1.33.1, it streamlined our answers... we still had a few users we couldn't direct to this solution, though; namely, those behind a corporate firewall. Does the new installer for 1.34 work in this setting? I can't test it myself, as I'm not behind such a firewall. Thanks again, Luigi ---------------------------------------- Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving wordy evidence of the fact. -- George Eliot

[Pool] pool_allocator with vector-of-vectors ??
by Williams, Alan B 12 Jun '07

12 Jun '07

I have a question about using the standard allocator interface in the boost.pool library. (I'm using boost 1.34.0 with g++ 3.4.3 on redhat linux, in case it matters.) I've successfully used boost::pool_allocator with individual std::vector objects, but I'm having trouble using it with a vector-of-vectors object, like this: std::vector<std::vector<int, boost::pool_allocator<int> > > myvec(1); myvec[0].push_back(99); The "push_back" line causes a seg-fault, which purify says is an array-bounds-write occurring in boost::simple_segregated_storage<unsigned long>::segregate. Am I misusing the pool_allocator? Thanks, Alan

[mpl] can't transform a map
by Yuval Ronen 12 Jun '07

12 Jun '07

I have the following code: #include <utility> #include <boost/mpl/map.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/transform.hpp> template <typename MplPair> struct make_ptr_pair1 { typedef std::pair<typename MplPair::first *, typename MplPair::second *> type; }; template <typename First, typename Second> struct make_ptr_pair2 { typedef std::pair<First *, Second *> type; }; int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { namespace mpl = boost::mpl; typedef mpl::map< mpl::pair<int, double> > my_map; //typedef mpl::transform< my_map, make_ptr_pair1<mpl::_1> >::type ptr_pair_seq1; //typedef mpl::transform< my_map, make_ptr_pair2<mpl::_1, mpl::_2> >::type ptr_pair_seq2; return 0; } If I uncomment any of the two mpl::transform lines in main(), the code doesn't compile (VC8). The point is to get a sequence of std::pairs out of the content of the mpl::map. Is there anything I'm doing wrong? Can mpl::transform be used for mpl::map? Maybe I can do it with fusion, but the above code seems to be something that's supposed to be working, isn't it? Yuval

bjam upgrade issue
by Joe Angell 12 Jun '07

12 Jun '07

Hello, After upgrading bjam from version 03.01.11 to 03.1.13 I ran into an issue that is not backwards compatible, and I am wondering if someone has an alternative solution. actions svn_export { svn export $(>) $(<) } make $(TOP)/oak/test/out/SMALL/ : $(TOP)/test/xylem_test_data/SMALL/ : svn_export ; This make rule no longer works in the 3.1.13 version upon directories as targets (works fine for file targets). Any suggestions? Thanks, -- --------------- Joe Angell Boulder Labs, Inc. 7105 LaVista Pl Suite 200 Niwot, CO 80503 (303) 817-8252

by Erica Calogero 12 Jun '07

12 Jun '07

Hi there, I am having difficulty writing to a .dot file. After typing in the follwoing code (following the example in the book, p.85). write_graphviz("ECgraphs/test_network.dot",angle_list); I get the following error message: Error 89 error C2664: 'boost::write_graphviz' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const char [26]' to 'std::ostream &' What code do I have to write to convert my 'const char [26]' to a 'std::ostream &'? Thanks, Kind regards, Erica.

MPL intersection of type sequences and compile-time performance
by Andrej van der Zee 12 Jun '07

12 Jun '07

Hi, Sorry if this already has been posted, but I have a problem with compile-time performance when trying to get the intersection of two type sequences. For example, when I do something like this: template<typename list1, typename list2> struct intersect { typedef typename boost::mpl::remove_if<list1, mpl::not_< mpl::contains<list2, mpl::_1> >::type type; }; typedef mpl::vector<a,b,...,z> l1; typedef mpl::vector<c,e,t,u,v> l2; typename intersect<list1,list2>::type my_intersection; Then for large type sequences compile-time becomes unacceptable (O(M*N)). Is there a better way to do this? Thanks, Andrej ___________________________________________________________ To help you stay safe and secure online, we've developed the all new Yahoo!
