[shared_ptr] Error in Constructor
by David A. Greene 26 May '10

26 May '10

Using boost 1.42, the attached fails to compile with g++: shared_ptr_test.cpp: In instantiation of ‘Wrapper<A>’: /usr/include/boost/smart_ptr/detail/sp_convertible.hpp:48: instantiated from ‘boost::detail::sp_convertible<Wrapper<B>, Wrapper<A> >’ /usr/include/boost/smart_ptr/detail/sp_convertible.hpp:67: instantiated from ‘boost::detail::sp_enable_if_convertible<Wrapper<B>, Wrapper<A> >’ shared_ptr_test.cpp:33: instantiated from here shared_ptr_test.cpp :14: error: invalid use of incomplete type ‘struct A’ shared_ptr_test.cpp:5: error: forward declaration of ‘struct A’ This is surprising to me as the code does not use A anywhere. I found BOOST_SP_NO_SP_CONVERTIBLE in shared_ptr.hpp and indeed turning that on fixes the problem. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be documented. What's the rationale for the enable_if'd constructor? Is BOOST_SP_NO_SP_CONVERTIBLE an official part of the library? Apparently it is causing gcc to check all doSomething members of Action against shared_ptr<Wrapper<B> > and those checks are causing instantiations of Wrapper<A>. -Dave

[c++-sig]Python binding for templated constructor
by Sandeep Gupta 25 May '10

25 May '10

Hi, I have a class with a generic constructor as follows : class X { indexes m_idx; template<class strategy> X(){ build_indexes<strategy>() }; My problem is that I am not able to figure out the syntax to export this constructor. Is the above class not well defined ?. Thanks. Sandeep

Well I'm absolutely no specialist in this, but for my averaging problem it would be enough to compare the "sum" and each new element to 0.5*std::numeric_limits<T>::max()-std::numeric_limits<T>::epsilon() and save the current value "somewhere" (a std::vector?) when this limit is reached. Then, at extraction, one would have to calculate the weighted sum of the entries of that vector.

gcc-xml and boost

I am trying to extract function information from my project into a xml file with gcc-xml. The xml file is to be used to make wrappers for other languages. But I get the below failures. I just add all the include directives into a gcc options file and run it. Do I need to set some flags for gcc-xml to parse it correctly ?

ASIO async IO, will the buffer corrupt?
by Lloyd 25 May '10

25 May '10

Hello, we are trying to write a high performane storage server. For that we are using Aynchronous IO with boost::asio. The data will be received at the storage server with the help of boost::asio::async_read(), and the data will be written to the storage with boost::asio::async_write() in the asyn_read() completion handler. Here we are planning to share the data buffer. The async read will be running in a loop, so if the write is not completed and if the next async_read() attempts to access the buffer, will the buffer be corrupted? If we use seperate buffer for each async_read()+async_write() operation, wouldn't it be inefficient? Thanks, Lloyd ______________________________________ Scanned and protected by Email scanner

boost::circular buffer- avoid memory allocation
by Lloyd 24 May '10

24 May '10

Hello, We are using circular buffer. The producer generates the data (a 1024byte char buffer) and the consumer reads it from circular buffer. In normal case the producer allocates the memory for each item. we believe this is very inefficient, so that we are going for circular buffer. How can we make the circualr buffer to allocate the memory in advace and make it possible for the producer and consumer to share it. For example if the buffer is of 10 nodes, the totoal memory allocated by circular buffer would be 10*1024, isn't it? How can the producer get the pointer to the next free node available in the circular buffer? (so as to avoid memory allocation by the producer) How can the consumer get pointer to the data to be read next? The sample available in boost::circular buffer describes it with a simple integer based example. I think this kind of problem is not addressed in it. Some hint will be very useful.

Problem with bjam trying build Boost MPI

In the bin folder, I can see mpiexec.exe, but no mpic++. I am quite lost. I think I am on the wrong track. Normally, where can we acquire mpic++? Shouldn't it be distributed along with this MPI implementation as well?

[units][interval] adapt boost.interval for boost.units
by alfC 24 May '10

24 May '10

Hi, what is the best way to make boost.units work together with boost.interval. Something naive as boost::numeric::interval<boost::units::quantity<boost::units::si::energy> > iv(3.*boost::units::si::meter, 4.*boost::units::si::meter); doesn't compile because of an error in boost/numeric/interval/ checking.hpp (error attached below). A work around is to do a typedef suggest by http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2009/07/49493.php typedef boost::numeric::interval_lib::change_checking< boost::numeric::interval< quantity<si::length> >, boost::units::interval::checking_base< quantity<si::length> > >::type interval_length_type; interval_length_type ival(3.*si::meter, 4.*si::meter); which compiles. do you think there is a better way?, that could allow for the first syntax at the beginning of this message.
