[preprocessor]

Hi there, let's assume I have a structure which takes 5 ints as template parameters. template< int NumChannel , int FirstChannelBits = 0 , int SecondChannelBits = 0 , int ThirdChannelBits = 0 , int FourthChannelBits = 0 , int FifthChannelBits = 0 > struct pixel_type_generator { /* omitted*/ } The first parameter is different as it defines how many of the other parameters are actually used. How can I use boost::preprocessor to get this kind of code repetition: // one channel test pixel_pixel_test< pixel_type_generator< 1, 1 >::type >(); pixel_pixel_test< pixel_type_generator< 1, 2 >::type >(); pixel_pixel_test< pixel_type_generator< 1, 3 >::type >(); pixel_pixel_test< pixel_type_generator< 1, 4 >::type >(); pixel_pixel_test< pixel_type_generator< 1, 5 >::type >(); pixel_pixel_test< pixel_type_generator< 1, 6 >::type >(); // up to 64 // two channels test pixel_pixel_test< pixel_type_generator< 2, 1, 1 >::type >(); pixel_pixel_test< pixel_type_generator< 2, 1, 2 >::type >(); pixel_pixel_test< pixel_type_generator< 2, 1, 3 >::type >(); // ... pixel_pixel_test< pixel_type_generator< 2, 1, 32 >::type >(); pixel_pixel_test< pixel_type_generator< 2, 2, 1 >::type >(); pixel_pixel_test< pixel_type_generator< 2, 2, 2 >::type >(); pixel_pixel_test< pixel_type_generator< 2, 2, 3 >::type >(); // ... // ... pixel_pixel_test< pixel_type_generator< 2, 32, 32 >::type >(); // last two parameters up to 32 - which means there are 32 x 32 calls // three channels test pixel_pixel_test< pixel_type_generator< 3, 1, 1, 1 >::type >(); pixel_pixel_test< pixel_type_generator< 3, 1, 1, 2 >::type >(); // ... // last three parameters up to 21 - which means there are 21 x 21 x 21 calls // four channels test pixel_pixel_test< pixel_type_generator< 4, 1, 1, 1, 1 >::type >(); pixel_pixel_test< pixel_type_generator< 4, 1, 1, 1, 2 >::type >(); // ... // last four parameters up to 16 - which means there are 16 x 16 x 16 x 16 calls // five channels test pixel_pixel_test< pixel_type_generator< 5, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 >::type >(); pixel_pixel_test< pixel_type_generator< 5, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2 >::type >(); // ... // last four parameters up to 12 - which means there are 12 x 12 x 12 x 12 x 12 calls As you might realize, I try to test every combination until the sum of all channels hits 64. Thanks, Christian

regex

Hi all, I have a question regarding boost::regex. I have one regex which should identify my string AND cut it into pieces. I've tried with regex_token_iterator and cmatch and failed. code: #include <string> #include <iostream> #include <boost/regex.hpp> int main() { std::string s("s0,s1,s2"); boost::regex re("^(s[0-9])(,s[0-9])*$"); // 1. attempt boost::sregex_token_iterator i(s.begin(), s.end(), re), j; while(i!=j) { std::cout << *i++ << std::endl; } // 2. attempt boost::cmatch matches; if(boost::regex_search(s.c_str(), matches, re)) { for(int p=0, q=matches.size(); p<q; p++) { std::string match(matches[p].first, matches[p].second); std::cout << match << std::endl; } } } output: s0,s1,s2 s0,s1,s2 s0 ,s2 desired output: s0,s1,s2 s0 ,s1 ,s2 Any hints how to do this in one step? Thanks!

As Eric alluded to with his reference to the ticket on FOREACH_FIELD, the heart of the matter really though is getting a syntactically convenient version. We've seen this situation - where we have the neat iterators/ranges but not the syntactic convenience - a few times (REVERSE_FOREACH, FOREACH_FIELD, this "FOREACH_WITHINDEX" spring to mind) - I wonder if there is an opportunity to expose a lower level API in the FOREACH mini-library that would enable advanced users to build such macros themselves.

I have a problem with installing boost. I downloaded the installer 1.40 for VC 2008 and followed all the instructions in the manual but I'm getting the error 1>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_thread-vc90-mt-gd-1_40.lib'. This is from the header #include <boost/thread/thread.hpp> in my code. Does anyone know what I can possible do to resolve this? Thanks

Hi, What is wrong in my syntax in the std::for_each call (the BOOST_FOREACH works fine): ... class Session { virtual void stopSession(); } class ServerSession : public Sessoon { } typedef

Bundled properties with boyer_myrvold_planarity_test
by Nick Wiggill 13 Dec '09

13 Dec '09

Can't seem to get this working. I'm not sure if there was something I missed in the docs, but as soon as I use bundled properties boyer_myrvold_planarity_test falls over. void SomeClass::create() { typedef adjacency_list<listS, listS, undirectedS, property <vertex_index_t, int>, property <edge_index_t, int> > Graph; typedef graph_traits<Graph>::vertex_descriptor Vertex; typedef graph_traits<Graph>::edge_descriptor Edge; typedef graph_traits<Graph>::vertex_iterator VertexIterator; BOOST_CONCEPT_ASSERT ((boost::concepts::VertexAndEdgeListGraph<Graph>)); BOOST_CONCEPT_ASSERT ((boost::concepts::IncidenceGraph<Graph>)); //Create graph const int NUM_VERTICES = 5; Graph graph(NUM_VERTICES); //Create vertices and edges Vertex u, v; u = vertex(0, graph); v = vertex(4, graph); //add_edge(u, v, graph); //BAD line! //Other attempted/failed way of adding edges //Edge e; //e = edge(u, v, graph); //Another attempt, doesn't seem to work with //bundled props, unsurprisingly. //add_edge(0, 4, graph); cout << "Vertex and edge additions complete." << endl; //iterate through vertices VertexIterator vItr, vItrEnd; for (tie(vItr, vItrEnd) = vertices(graph); vItr != vItrEnd; ++vItr) { cout << "#"<< endl; //<< graph[*vItr] << endl; } cout << "Vertex iteration complete." << endl; if (boyer_myrvold_planarity_test(graph)) cout << "Test claims graph is planar" << endl; else cout << "Test claims graph is non-planar" << endl; cout << "Planarity testing complete." << endl; } The line commented "BAD line!" causes an exit on calling boyer_myrvold_planarity_test. With the test commented out, the program will run to its normal completion. What am I failing to grasp? TIA -Nick

Unable to access graph concepts
by Nick Wiggill 13 Dec '09

13 Dec '09

Hi I'm new to Boost (using 1.41.0) and specifcally the BGL and am having a small problem with accessing graph concepts. My IDE (Eclipse/CDT) and compiler (GCC 3.4.5) are having trouble seeing definitions of graph concepts, although I have included boost/graph/graph_concepts.hpp. When I type the boost namespace specifier, autocomplete can find e.g. EqualityComparable, but it cannot find VertexAndEdgeListGraph (among others... but this the one I need). I can see the basic BCCL concepts from boost/concept_check.hpp just fine, making this all the more confusing. My paths are correct, as for example adjacency_list (residing in the same path) works fine. PS. Try to have mercy on me, I'm not only returning to C++ after a number of years but I'm also in the process of reacquainting myself fully with generic programming (and the STL), something I was never too great at... so a lot of things still meet with a blank stare from me. I've just been learning these things slowly by example and by trial-and-error so far.

Asio io_service::work destructor throwing mutex exception

Hi, I am using asio´s io_service::work class to prevent io_service.run() from returning.

can't build an official example on eclipse

hello, I have an issue while trying to run boost for the first time. I downloaded boost on my mac snow leopard, with eclipse. I compiled the sources(with bjam, without options), and I added the "include" directory (ie boost_1_41_0/boost)and the "libs" one (ie boost_1_41_0/libs) in eclipse. the example I used is the one provided by the official tutorial : ****************************************************** #define BOOST_TEST_MODULE MyTest #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> int add( int i, int j ) { return i+j; } BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( my_test ) { // seven ways to detect and report the same error: BOOST_CHECK( add( 2,2 ) == 4 ); // #1 continues on error BOOST_REQUIRE( add( 2,2 ) == 4 ); // #2 throws on error if( add( 2,2 ) != 4 ) BOOST_ERROR( "Ouch..." ); // #3 continues on error if( add( 2,2 ) != 4 ) BOOST_FAIL( "Ouch..." ); // #4 throws on error if( add( 2,2 ) != 4 ) throw "Ouch..."; // #5 throws on error BOOST_CHECK_MESSAGE( add( 2,2 ) == 4, // #6 continues on error "add(..) result: " << add( 2,2 ) ); BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL( add( 2,2 ), 4 ); // #7 continues on error } ****************************************************** and the error is: http://pastebin.com/m4c85af13 . can you help me? thank you, olivier. ****************************************************** ___________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

[Serialization] Saving non-const values
by Patrick Moran 12 Dec '09

12 Dec '09

Hello all, I noticed in the documentation of Boost.Serialization in 1.41.0 that under the "Rationale" section the link for "Compile time trap when saving a non-const value" still appears at the top of the page, but the section it points to is now missing. Is this just an error in the documentation, or has this restriction been removed in 1.41.0. No such change is mentioned in the release notes, but I read somewhere a while ago that they were considering removing the saving-const restriction. In case it helps, the context I'm using this in is using Boost.Serialization to serialize polymorphic classes and polymorphic containers from Boost.PointerContainer. Thanks, Patrick Moran
