SendCompressedBuffer uses bzip to compress data before it forwards the data. It is able to marshall files and other data. There's an archive -- fear not, it's all of 17,517 bytes -- that you can download and has the classes I mentioned.

mpi reduce on a vector
by Prevrhal, Sven 12 Jun '10

12 Jun '10

I have a std::vector in each process and would like to sum them up by element in a master process such that v_master[0] = v_worker1[0] + v_worker2[0] +... v_master[1] = v_worker1[1] + v_worker2[1] +... ... boost::mpi::reduce(world, v_worker, v_master, std::plus<int>(), masterID) doesn't cut it because std::add only works for individual vector elements but not for a whole vector. So I could define my own functor struct vplus : public std::binary_function<std::vector<int>, std::vector<int>, std::vector<int>> { // functor for operator+ std::vector<int> operator()(const std::vector<int>& _Left, const std::vector<int>& _Right) const { // apply operator+ to operands std::vector<int> v(_Left.size()); std::transform(_Left.begin(), _Left.end(), _Right.begin(), v.begin(), std::plus<int>()); return (v); } }; and apply it like so in the distributor boost::mpi::reduce(world, a, b, vplus(), 0); This works, but here is my question: the functor makes a new vector v that gets returned and (do I say this right?) passed on to boost::mpi::reduce and goes out of scope. This making of a new vector strikes me as superfluous and wasteful (think big vectors) - should I avoid it, and if so, how?

Type arithmetic library?
by Peng Yu 12 Jun '10

12 Jun '10

Hello, boost typeof library can automatically deduce the type. But I'm interested in finding the nested type. For example, if I have a template S<T1, T2>. I'd like to deduce that it has two template arguments, I'd like to access its template argument by index (say, 0 and 1 for this case). I did a preliminary search, but found no such facilities. I may overlook something. Would you please let me know if there is such a facility in boost? -- Regards, Peng

[program_options] linking to specific library version requested?
by Diederick C. Niehorster 12 Jun '10

12 Jun '10

Hi All, I use program_options happily. One minor annoyance is that the headers somewhere seems to specify which version of the library (the exact file name) they want to link with. I've tried setting "#define BOOST_PROGRAM_OPTIONS_NO_LIB ON" that I found by googling, but it made no difference. I always get "LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_program_options-vc100-mt-gd-1_44.lib'". Ideally, I'd like to link with libboost_program_options-vc100-mt-gd.lib so that when I upgrade boost I don't have to change the includes in my project files. More strangely, on one of the three computers I work with, next to the library corresponding to the newest boost version, it always requests to link to **-1_41.lib files as well, complete cleaning and rebuilding from scratch does not solve this. I have observed this with both MSVC2008 and MSVC2010. How can I configure program_options such that I can do the linking myself? Best and thanks! Dee

Adding include information the reference of typeof
by Peng Yu 12 Jun '10

12 Jun '10

Hi, I feel that that the reference page of typeof can be improved by adding what header file should be included. Could the authors add such information in the future? -- Regards, Peng

[boost/Quickbook] Build documentation with several files
by Carlos Guimarães 12 Jun '10

12 Jun '10

Hi, I have several *.qbk files and I want to build documentation of all of them at one time. They are all in the same folder, so I use the same Jamfile for each one: *using quickbook ; import boostbook : boostbook ; # Intro xml intro : src/intro.qbk ; # Libraries xml base_lib : src/libs/base.qbk ; # App xml client : src/app/client.qbk ; boostbook documentation : intro : <dependency>css ; boostbook lib : base_lib : <dependency>css ; boostbook client : client : <dependency>css ; install css : [ glob ./*.css ] : <location>../html ; explicit css ;* However, they have been building at the same root folder. That fact left me only one index file, because the previous one have been overwrite. How can I resolve it? Thanks

boost::function, pointer to a member function.
by Mikhail Tatarnikov 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

Hi guys, Is there a way to make boost::function to be passed to a function required a pointer to a member function as parameter: struct CFoo { int foo1(int){} int foo2(int, double){} }; int g(int (CFoo::*)(int)); int main() { g(&CFoo::foo1); g(boost::bind(&CFoo::foo2, _1, _2, 666)); // Doesn't compile - boost::bind returns an object instead of function pointer // The following doesn't compile - can't convert from int (*)(CFoo*, int) to int (CFoo::*)(int) g(boost::function<int (CFoo*, int)>( boost::bind(&CFoo::foo2, _1, _2, 666) ).target<int (CFoo*, int)>() ) } The initial problem is to bind a parameter to a member function. It's easy to solve the problem by changing g(), e.g.: template<typename Functor> int g(Functor fun); but is it possible to solve the problem is g() can't be changed? Regards, Mike.

utf8_codecvt_facet.cpp
by John Dlugosz 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

Why does the common file utf8_codecvt_facet.cpp include utf8_codecvt_facet.hpp =before= including boost/config.hpp? The wrapper boost_1_43_0\libs\program_options\src\utf8_codecvt_facet.cpp must itself include config first or it won't work. So putting the config include here is useless as it can never be used there. --John TradeStation Group, Inc. is a publicly-traded holding company (NASDAQ GS: TRAD) of three operating subsidiaries, TradeStation Securities, Inc.
