Boost Steering Committee
by Beman Dawes 27 May '11

27 May '11

There was a special session Friday morning at BoostCon 2011 to announce the formation of a Boost Steering Committee. The slides from that session have been annotated to make them more comprehensible to those not present. See http://tinyurl.com/3l27o3q (There is also a link on steering.boost.org, but DNS isn't resolving that yet for me. Instead use https://sites.google.com/a/boost.org/steering/) We haven't yet decided anything beyond what is on the slides, so it will take a bit of time before details emerge. As the slides mention, the first job of the steering committee is to design of its own operating procedures and policies. Input from the Boost community will help form those procedures and policies. The steering committee is an important change in the way Boost operates! We hope it will position Boost to continue to grow and prosper. --The Boost Steering Committee Beman Dawes Dave Abrahams Hartmut Kaiser Jeff Garland Jon Kalb Marshall Clow Robert Stewart Steven Wantanabe

[xpressive] literals in regex without escaping...
by Ovanes Markarian 27 May '11

27 May '11

Hello *, I need to parse some logger lines using boost xpressive. The line looks like: fname:line_no [severity] logging message When building the xpressive regex if I need to match the severity (e.g. [INFO]) I need to escape the square brackets... Is there some xpressive construct (like as_xpr) which makes from all characters literals. So that I can write smth like: sregex re = *_ >> literals("[INFO]") >> *_ Many thanks, Ovanes

condensed overview of boost
by Olaf Krzikalla 27 May '11

27 May '11

Hi @boost, recently I've given some lectures about some selected boost libraries. After that the audience expressed the wish to get an overview over all current boost libraries. Thus for my next lecture I sat down and digged through the complete 1.46 for several day. I found a lot of useful stuff, but I also found a lot of obsolete, superseded, replaced or will-be-superseded stuff. Some libraries seems to be sub-libs of other libs. Is there an overview of inner lib relations and the actual lib state wrt. to the overall development? The issues I've found so far: - Compatibility: very narrow. Is it still needed as a public lib? - Functional, MemFun: superseded by Bind - Call Traits, Functional/Forward, Lambda: will be superseded by C++0x - Interval: can this become a sub-lib of ICL? - Meta State Machine / Statechart: whats the actual difference? I.e. which problem is solved by one lib but not by the other? - Fusion & Tuple: how are these related? Could boost::tuple become a typedef to boost::fusion::vector. I know that most of these relations are there for historical reasons and won't be changed. However I wish it had been documented somewhere. That would make an in-depth introduction of boost a lot easier. Best regards Olaf Krzikalla

[Interprocess] Shared memory misplaced
by Alexander Pérez Ruiz 26 May '11

26 May '11

Hi all, I have followed the discussion about the problems with the WMI in https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/5392. I patched my release version of boost 1_46_1 with the wmi.patch but I do not achieve it works well. I am using the Interprocess library in order to interchange information between two programs that run in Windows but one of them was compiled in linux with the MinGW cross-compiling-environment on an Ubuntu 10.10 machine that uses this version of boost. I create the shared memory in the program compiled directly on Windows but it is created in the folder named "Select ...". When I start the second program, this program is looking for the shared memory in the folder named "200110523...". How can I found the same behaviour in the two programs in order to use the shared memory segment? Could somebody give me some help? Presently, I work on Windows XP and VS 2008. Thanks in advance. -- Alexander Pérez Ruiz Doctorado en Automatización Avanzada y Robótica Instituto de Organización y Control de Sistemas Industriales (IOC) Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña (UPC) Avenida Diagonal 647, piso 11 08028 Barcelona, España Tel: 934017748

[ICL] interval_map question
by Antal A. Buss 26 May '11

26 May '11

Hi all, I'm trying to use interval_map to implement some kind of range to value directory, but I have some non expected results. The test code I'm using is: ------------------------ #include <iostream> #include <boost/icl/interval_map.hpp> #include <boost/icl/discrete_interval.hpp> using namespace std; using namespace boost::icl; int main(int argc, char const **argv) { interval_map<size_t, int> imap; typedef discrete_interval<size_t> interval_t; imap += make_pair(construct<interval_t>(0, 7, interval_bounds::closed()),0); cout << "imap: " << imap << endl; imap.set(make_pair(construct<interval_t>(0, 0, interval_bounds::closed()),1)); cout << "imap: " << imap << endl; imap.erase(construct<interval_t>(3, 3, interval_bounds::closed())); cout << "imap: " << imap << endl; } ------------------------ The result I got is: imap: {} imap: {([0,0]->1)} imap: {([0,0]->1)} but the result I was expecting is: imap: {([0,7]->0)} imap: {([0,0]->1)((0,7]->0)} imap: {([0,0]->1)((0,3)->0)((3,7]->0)} Do I missing something? Thanks, Antal

I've recently had some trouble with C++'s implicit casting, so I'm looking for a way to warn people if somebody attempts to assign an int32_t to a uint64_t or whatever. BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT would work wonders for this, except that the code base I'm working with is quite large and relies on a lot of implicit casting, so immediately breaking everything with assertions is unrealistic. It looks like BOOST_STATIC_WARNING ( http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/libs/serialization/doc/static_warning.…) would be ideal for me, however, I cannot get it to actually emit a warning. I have attached a quick example of what I am looking for, but it essentially boils down to this not doing anything: typedef boost::is_same<int64_t, int32_t> same_type; BOOST_STATIC_WARNING(same_type::value); My compiler is g++ 4.4.3 with --std=c++0x -Wall -Wextra. Thanks! -- - Travis Gockel

[GIL] bits8* to gray8_ptr_t without reinterpret_cast?
by Tyler Weston 25 May '11

25 May '11

You might have also seen this question on SO: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6103252/boostgil-bits8-to-gray8-ptr-t-wi… Trying to work by the design guidelines for GIL, I use |bits__| for my channel data types. I often have external data I'm wrapping into GIL image views. However, even using the |bits__| types for data pointers, I have to add in a reinterpret_cast before I can create my image views. Take the following code |int width= 3; int height= 2; boost::gil::bits8 data8[] = {0, 1, 100, 200, 50, 51}; boost::gil::bits8* pBits8= data8; boost::gil::gray8_ptr_t pGray8= pBits8; boost::gil::gray8_view_t v= interleaved_view(width, height, pGray8, width* sizeof(boost::gil::bits8)); | Results in the error on line 6 "error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'boost::gil::bits8 *' to 'boost::gil::gray8_ptr_t' 1> Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast" Delving into the source code as much as I can, it appears these types really are unreleated. bits8 is just |unsigned char|, but |gray8_ptr_t| is a pointer to a |struct pixel<bits8,gray_layout_t>|. The only element of this struct is a single bits8, so a reinterpret_cast looks safe. It also works fine for the tests I've thrown at it. However, I wrap external data into image views quite often, and having a reinterpret_cast in every place feels problematic. Is there a safer way of constructing a pixel pointer for use in GIL? My current workaround is to create a template specialized cast that only compiles for known safe casts. |template<class Dest, class Src> Dest gil_safe_ptr_cast(Src src) { // this cast is unsafe, use reinterpret_cast BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(false); } template<> boost::gil::gray8_ptr_t gil_safe_ptr_cast(boost::gil::bits8* pBits8) { return reinterpret_cast<boost::gil::gray8_ptr_t>(pBits8); } boost::gil::bits8* pBits8= data8; boost::gil::gray8_ptr_t pGray8= gil_safe_ptr_cast<boost::gil::gray8_ptr_t>(pBits8); // works boost::gil::bits16* pBits16= NULL; boost::gil::gray8_ptr_t pGray82= gil_safe_ptr_cast<boost::gil::gray8_ptr_t>(pBits16); // compile error as expected | If this is the best current solution, I'd be glad to clean it up and pack it into typedefs.hpp for grayscale types. Thoughts?
