Query on Boost.iostreams
by Leo Carreon 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

Hi, I’m building Boost 1.47.0 for Windows with VS 2010 using the following commands: .\bootstrap.bat .\b2 -sZLIB_SOURCE=c:\zlib-1.2.5 -sBZIP2_SOURCE=c:\bzip2-1.0.6 link=static,shared runtime-link=shared address-model=32 variant=release install 2>&1 | tee libwin32.log The resulting Boost\lib directory contains the following files: boost_bzip2-vc100-mt-1_47.dll boost_bzip2-vc100-mt-1_47.lib libboost_bzip2-vc100-mt-1_47.lib boost_zlib-vc100-mt-1_47.dll boost_zlib-vc100-mt-1_47.lib libboost_zlib-vc100-mt-1_47.lib I created test applications to use the shared ZLIB and BZIP2 libraries which means I had to link with the corresponding import libraries. I discovered that the test application for the ZLIB library is able to execute correctly. However, the test application for the BZIP2 library fails because it is looking for LIBBZ2.DLL instead of boost_bzip2-vc100-mt-1_47.dll. I used dumpbin.exe to check the contents of the BZIP2 import library and it is definitely referring to LIBBZ2.DLL. I tried to locate the issue in the JAM files but since I’m a newbie with JAM files I couldn’t locate what is causing this issue. At the moment, my workaround is simply creating a copy of boost_bzip2-vc100-mt-1_47.dll as LIBBZ2.DLL although ideally this shouldn’t be necessary. Can this problem be fixed in the next release of the Boost libraries. Do I need to raise a bug for this? Kind regards, Leo

[boost::thread] can not link on open suse
by Kaz 11 Dec '11

Hi All, I have downloaded 1.4.8 on a new machine running suse 12.1 Kde, and built it using bjam install option. Now I have a very simple threading program as follows #include <boost/thread.hpp> #include <iostream> void func() { for(int i = 0; i < 10; ++i ) std::cout<<i<<std::endl; } int main () { boost::thread th0(func); th0.join(); return 0; } when I try to compile it using this command g++ -static -I./Built_Boost_1.4.8.0/include -L./Built_Boost_1.4.8.0/lib/ boostThreadTest.cpp -lboost_thread -lpthread -o threadTest I get following error /usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/4.6/../../../../i586-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lpthread /usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/4.6/../../../../i586-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lm /usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/4.6/../../../../i586-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lc collect2: ld returned 1 exit status I have searched for libpthread.a, but can not find it in my system. although I can see these /lib/libpthread.so /usr/include/pthread.h also if I remove -lpthread from build command, I still get the last two errors i-e /usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/4.6/../../../../i586-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lm /usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/4.6/../../../../i586-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lc collect2: ld returned 1 exit status So question is, do I need libpthread ? ( from my past experience I think I do, but not sure). if yes, then how can I get it, and if not, then how can I get this program to compile. Any help will be appreciated. Kaz

OSX Framework
by Kraus Philipp 11 Dec '11

11 Dec '11

Hello, I'm using Boost for a long time and create my package with bjam. Is there an option to create an OSX framework? OSX can handle libraries and headers in a special directory structure under eg /Library/Framework, can I build this structure with bjam or should I create it myself? Thanks Phil

[Units] Require help troubleshooting a template error with linear_algebra.hpp
by Stephen Torri 11 Dec '11

11 Dec '11

Below is a dump of the build output from compiling the stand alone example. In order to understand what I am doing I am trying to setup a boost unit system where length is in kilometers, angle is in degrees and time is in minutes. I would like to have the ability to enter automatically convert angles from degrees to radians. In addition I am attemping to make the angle types I use to be dimensionless.

Hi Im use boost library and during the compilation on debbug mode I satarted the following warnings: 1386 IntelliSense: #error directive: "Macro BOOST_LIB_NAME not set (internal error)" c:\boost_1_47_0\boost_1_47_0\boost\config\auto_link.hpp 102 1387 IntelliSense: #error directive: "Incompatible build options" c:\boost_1_47_0\boost_1_47_0\boost\config\auto_link.hpp 111 Is this a known issue? Can I ignore it? and if not, what did I do wrong? Thanks Ohad Barta

I apologize if this question is asked frequently by noobs. Essentially, the boost functions are not recognized. I installed the prebuilt boost package on ubuntu (ostensibly 1.43), and wonder if it's working correctly. I am working through the threading chapter from *Introduction to the C++ Boost Libraries – Volume I – Foundations,* and replicated their first example: #include <boost/thread.hpp> #include<iostream> using namespace std; using namespace boost; using namespace boost::this_thread; void fxn1() { for (int i=0; i<10; ++i) { cout << i << ") Do something in parallel with main method." << endl; boost::this_thread::yield(); }} int main() { boost::thread t(&fxn1); for (int i=0;i<10; i++) { cout << i << ". Do something in main method." << endl; } return 0; } using g++ boosttest1.c -o boosttest1 the compiler throws errors to each reference of a boost function (I have removed the names of temp files referenced by the compiler): undefined reference to `boost::this_thread::yield()' undefined reference to `boost::thread::~thread()' In function `boost::detail::thread_data_base::thread_data_base()': undefined reference to `vtable for boost::detail::thread_data_base' In function `boost::thread::thread<void (*)()>(void (*)(), boost::disable_if<boost::is_convertible<void (*&)(), boost::detail::thread_move_t<void (*)()> >, boost::thread::dummy*>::type)': undefined reference to `boost::thread::start_thread()' etc. Please respond if the remainder of the messages are cogent. If I comment out both lines with boost, the compile works perfectly, and if I comment out only the second, I receive: In function `fxn1()': boostthreadtest.c:(.text+0x43): undefined reference to `boost::this_thread::yield()' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status How do I reference the libraries correctly? It seems as though the more detailed thread.hpp files are correctly referenced and present, but are not being noticed by the compiler. Thanks for your patience. floobit

[boost] compilation warnings questions by a newbee
by Rai, Neeraj 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

Hi, I am writing my first boost program and having trouble with the compiler warning against boost 1.44.0. Is there any way to get rid of those warnings so I can focus on real warnings in my code ? The gist of warning is : boost_1_44_0/include/boost/mpl/aux_/integral_wrapper.hpp:73:96: warning: the result of the conversion is unspecified because '-0x00000000000000001' is outside the range of type 'boost::numeric::udt_builtin_mixture_enum' [-Wconversion] Any help or pointers are appreciated. Neeraj ====== The following program is a cut down version of my code, just declares sregex #include <iostream> #include <boost/xpressive/xpressive.hpp> int main (int _argc, const char** _argv) { std::cout << "argc=" << _argc << " argv=" << _argv << std::endl; using namespace boost::xpressive; std::string keyword(""); sregex const re(sregex::compile(keyword, sregex::icase)); } ====== The

[interprocess] atomic_write32
by peter jacobsen 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

I have noticed that for Windows, atomic_write32 is defined thus: inline void atomic_write32(volatile boost::uint32_t *mem, boost::uint32_t val) { winapi::interlocked_exchange(reinterpret_cast<volatile long*>(mem), val); } Whereas otherwise like this: inline void atomic_write32(volatile boost::uint32_t *mem, boost::uint32_t val) { *mem = val; } the reads are both: return *mem; Windows documentation states that: 'Simple reads and writes to properly-aligned 32-bit variables are atomic operations.' [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms684122%28v=vs.85%…] Is there a reason for this? Thanks, Peter

[filesystem] boost::filesystem::path::append() with boost::filesystem::iterator
by Sebastian Karlsson 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

Unexpectedly this does not seem to work. Consider: boost::filesystem::path a("foo/bar/"), b("root/test"); a.append( b.begin() + 1, boost::filesystem::const_iterator() ); \\ Expects a == "foo/bar/test" Am I missing something? Kind regards, Sebastian Karlsson

[filesystem] native path starting with //:
by Frédéric Bron 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

I am trying to upgrade my code from filesystem v2 to v3. I have in some paths constructed from a string starting with "//:". This was to ensure that the path was interpreted as native path in v2. It seems that this option disappeared from v3 but this change is not documented (at least I have not found the documentation for it). Can I safely just remove "//:" from start of the constructor argument? Regards, Frédéric

running the code below triggers a runtime crash due to casting to a smaller type in feed_args.hpp if -RTCc is given. we turn on this runtime check for debug builds as shown in the sample code. so far the only remedy I've found is to turn off runtime checks for the entire module, not a nice solution. microsoft's suggestion, to use a pragma to turn off the check, doesn't work (not your problem I know). the same issue exists in boost 1.47.0. thx dxc // ----- cut ---- // boost 1.48.0 // visual studio 10.0, service pack 1, windows 7/64 // using this pragma, per microsoft, does not solve the problem // #pragma runtime_checks( "", off ) #include <string> #include <boost/format.hpp> // compile: cl -EHsc -W4 -I /path/to/boost -MDd check.cp // runs fine with no runtime check, output as expected // if you include -RTCc, runtime size checks, it goes into the debugger // compile: cl -EHsc -W4 -RTCc -I /path/to/boost check.cpp // static_cast triggers runtime error at feed_args.hpp:168 int main() { std::string documenttype("1"); std::string key(boost::str(boost::format("name[documenttype:%1%]")%documenttype)); std::cout << key << "\n"; // expected output: name[documenttype:1] return 0; } // #pragma runtime_checks( "", restore )

[boost][chrono] time_since_epoch different on windows and linux
by Ralf Globisch 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

Hi, I've run into a bit of a funny one and I'm not sure if I'm missing something or whether I've encountered a bug. The following code excerpt *seems* to have 2 different results on windows 7 (VS2010) and linux (gcc4.6) using boost version 1.47. #include <iostream> #include <cstdint> #include <boost/chrono.hpp> int main(int argc, char** argv) { boost::chrono::duration<double> sec = boost::chrono::system_clock::now().time_since_epoch(); uint32_t uiSeconds = sec.count(); double dMinutes = uiSeconds/60.0; double dHours = dMinutes/60.0; double dDays = dHours/24.0; double dYears = dDays/365.0; std::cout << "Sec: " << uiSeconds << " Min: " << dMinutes << " Hours: " << dHours << " Days: " << dDays << " Years: " << dYears << std::endl; return 0; } This outputs the following: Linux: Sec: 1323362917 Min: 2.2056e+07 Hours: 367601 Days: 15316.7 Years: 41.9636 Windows: Sec: 82934819 Min: 1.38225e+006 Hours: 23037.4 Days: 959.894 Years: 2.62985 The linux results is the expected result: 1970 + 41 years = ~2011. Why does the windows result differ? I've run the windows version on two different windows machines with the same result. Am I using the library incorrectly? I'm trying to obtain seconds since 1970 so that I can from there calculate seconds since 1900 to calculate an NTP timestamp. Thanks for any help/suggestions! Ralf

Hi, thanks again for replying. I may sound stupid, but again, I cannot find what is the type of the component map to pass to connected_components when the graph is of type adjacency_list<listS, listS, undirectedS>. The following does not work (see previous email for the whole code): map<FeatureGraph::vertex_descriptor, graph_traits<FeatureGraph>::vertices_size_type> vertex2component; vertex2component.insert(make_pair(u, 0)); associative_property_map< map<graph_traits<FeatureGraph>::vertex_descriptor, graph_traits<FeatureGraph>::vertices_size_type> > components(vertex2component); Can someone please give me the declaration of the component map, and how to pass it to connected_components?

My requirements are a undirected graph, with frequent additions and removals of vertices/edges, and frequent computation of connected components. That is why I thought that listS vextex container was more appropriate. I would expect that the component map could then be some associative map from vertex_descriptors to component id: what is the exact type? Is it necessary to compute a vertex index (what is it exactly), how do I do so and is is computationally intensive? >> I really find it difficult to find the information to use property maps in >> the library: is there a tutorial or a more step by step documentation >> somewhere? > I forgot if the BGL book has any more details, but you can look in > libs/graph/example in the Boost source tree and also in > http://programmingexamples.net/wiki/Boost/BGL for code samples.

[Interprocess] [file_mapping] is there any way to avoid writing a modified file to disc?
by Thorsten Ottosen 08 Dec '11

08 Dec '11

Hi, I'm using file_mapping/mapped_region with Boost 1.45. My idea was to load the memory mapped file in read/write mode and then decrypt the file content in-place (to avoid copying the entire file content). However, this will save a decrypted file :-( Is there any way to avoid the file being saved after in-memory manipulation? -Thorsten

[GIL] Array to image
by Sapp, Mark 08 Dec '11

08 Dec '11

Hi All, Can anyone point me in the right directions for copying or assigning an array in memory to an image? I'm reading an frame out of an AVI file using Microsoft's vfw32.lib/vfw.h and the function that grabs the frame returns a pointer to a bitmap in memory, like this: BYTE* pDIB = (BYTE*) AVIStreamGetFrame(pFrame, index); And I need to transfer that information into an image. I have extracted the bitmap header and have a pointer to the first pixel, so I suppose I could iterate over each pixel and channel and populate the image by hand, but I imagine there is a better way.

[filesystem] filesystem::absolute() doesn't work with ../relative_path or ./relative_path
by Sachin Garg 08 Dec '11

08 Dec '11

In boost 1.47.0 filesystem v3, boost::filesystem::absolute only appends the relative path to base path. It should also remove "./" from relative paths and "backtrack" on base path if relative path contains "../../" etc. For example, Input: "d:\current\path" ".\..\relative\path" Result obtained: "d:\current\path\.\..\relative\path" Desired result: "d:\current\relative\path" I have created a trac ticket for the same: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/5988 SG

[BGL] Issue using connected_components

Hi, here is a simplified code sample that I cannot get to work. I use bundled properties for an undirected graph and I do not find what should be the type of the component map (or property map) that should be passed as the second argument of the connected_components function. The sample is useless since only integers are for vertices. #include <boost/graph/adjacency_list.hpp> #include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp> #include <boost/graph/connected_components.hpp> using namespace boost; using namespace std; struct FeatureTrajectory { int id; }; struct FeatureConnection { float minDistance; float maxDistance; }; struct VertexInformation { shared_ptr<FeatureTrajectory> feature; }; typedef adjacency_list < listS, listS, undirectedS, VertexInformation, FeatureConnection> FeatureGraph; int main() { FeatureGraph g; FeatureGraph::vertex_descriptor u, v; FeatureGraph::edge_descriptor e; u = add_vertex(g); v = add_vertex(g); bool unused; tie(e, unused) = add_edge(u, v, g); g[e].minDistance = 0.; g[e].maxDistance = 1.; g[u].feature = shared_ptr<FeatureTrajectory>(new FeatureTrajectory()); g[u].feature->id =11; g[v].feature = shared_ptr<FeatureTrajectory>(new FeatureTrajectory()); g[v].feature->id =12; cout << num_vertices(g) << " " << num_edges(g) << endl; vector_property_map< graph_traits<FeatureGraph>::vertices_size_type > components(num_vertices(g)); int num = connected_components(g, &components[0]); return 0; } The final error is: /usr/include/boost/graph/connected_components.hpp:46: error: no matching function for call to ‘put(long unsigned int*&, void*&, long unsigned int&)’ Can someone help me get it to work and to understand property maps?

Boost.Math and Math Constants
by Paul A. Bristow 07 Dec '11

07 Dec '11

Boost.Math has always had an inconspicuous collection of useful math constants, mainly those that are used internally. The presentation of these was as a function-template, called for example, as pi<double>(). using namespace boost::math::constants; return pi<Real>() * r * r; This leads to some rather ugly equations and is most unpopular with scientific and engineering users. John Maddock has now added a new cunning feature that allows the vast majority of users who just want a built-in double to get the constants quickly as plain variables. So in non-template code, users can write using boost::math::double_constants; double area = pi * r * r; and users can read the equations easily. (Float and long double are similarly available in their own namespaces). The original mechanism which can be used for higher multiprecision user-defined floating-point types appears unchanged but has been improved to work better with UDTs and high precision types. Some draft detailed docs about just these new proposals are at http://boost-sandbox.sourceforge.net/libs/math_constants/doc/html/index.html We would like to be sure that 1 This additional mechanism of presenting constants is acceptable. 2 It is acceptable to add more constants (current new list is about 60 constants). Are there important constants that you think we have missed? Do we need a mini-review? Other views? Paul PS 1 Are there important constants that you think we have missed? 2 Please tell me of mistakes and typos in the draft docs. --- Paul A.

[range] discrepancy between size and vector ::size
by giecrilj＠stegny.2a.pl 07 Dec '11

07 Dec '11

The following code gives me a warning: void trigger (::std ::vector < int > const &v) { ::boost ::size (v) == v. size (); } and the warning is "signed and unsigned in comparison". I understand that (size == end - begin) and that the latter expression is a difference; however, isn't the difference guaranteed to be positive? Also note that no range function ever uses range_size ::type. I suggest that ::boost ::size should return range_size ::type. Chris

How to pass additional arguments to a boost test case?

Dear colleagues, I would like to pass additional command line arguments to a given boost test. For example, if I execute the following from the command line: mytest.exe --log_level=all --param1=value1 --param2=value2 then I would like to be able to get param1 and param2 parameters inside the test cases doing: BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(read_ param_from_command_line) { std::cout << "Param1=" << some_function("param1") << std::endl; std::cout << "Param2=" << some_function("param2") << std::endl; } What s the recommended approach in this case?
