[container] Initialization from transformed_range compilation error

Hi, snipped below gives this error in VS 2008 SP1: Error 1 error C2664: 'void boost::container::vector<T>::priv_range_insert<InIt>(Object **,FwdIt,FwdIt,std::forward_iterator_tag)' : cannot convert parameter 4 from 'boost::detail::iterator_category_with_traversal<Category,Traversal>' to 'std::forward_iterator_tag' c:\devel\boost_1_47_0\boost\container\vector.hpp 1908 copy_range code: #include <boost/container/vector.hpp> #include <boost/range/adaptor/transformed.hpp> #include <functional> class Object; struct DecodeID : public std::unary_function<int, Object*> { Object* operator() (int id) const { return 0; } }; int main() { using namespace boost; using namespace boost::container; using namespace boost::range; vector<int> ids; vector<Object*> objects = copy_range<vector<Object*> >(adaptors::transform(ids, DecodeID())); } Am I missing something obvious here?

asio::io_service as a thread-pool executor
by aiooua 08 Sep '11

08 Sep '11

I'm trying to use boost::asio::io_service as a thread pool executor. Here's my attempt: ---- using std::vector; using boost::bind; using boost::thread; using boost::shared_ptr; using boost::asio::io_service; class executor { public: executor(size_t n): service_(n), work_(service_) { for (size_t i = 0; i < n; i++) { shared_ptr<thread> worker(new thread(bind(&io_service::run, &service_))); pool_.push_back(worker); } } ~executor() { service_.stop(); for (auto i = pool_.begin(); i != pool_.end(); ++i) { (*i)->join(); } } template<typename F> void submit(F task) { service_.post(task); } private: io_service service_; io_service::work work_; vector<shared_ptr<thread> > pool_; }; void work() {} void other_work(const char *c) {} struct functor_work { void operator()() {} }; auto lambda = [] {}; int main() { executor e(4); e.submit(work); e.submit(boost::bind(other_work, "input")); e.submit(functor_work()); e.submit(lambda); } ---- Is this usage correct or am I missing anything here? The bit I'm not sure about in particular is this: Is it guaranteed that the io_service::run will wait for the completion of the posted jobs (via io_service::post) after I have called io_service::stop? In other words, do I have to explicitly ensure that my executor instance lives at least as long as the last submitted job has finished? Or can I assume that io_service::run will only return after all its posted jobs have had a chance to finish? Thanks!

[Units] defining a derived dimension
by Michael Powell 08 Sep '11

08 Sep '11

I want to define a dimension stroke_rate, or flow_rate, for that matter. Not too out of the ordinary for our application. So I am starting with something like this for my dimensions. #include <boost/units/derived_dimension.hpp> #include <boost/units/physical_dimensions/length.hpp> #include <boost/units/physical_dimensions/time.hpp> typedef boost::units::derived_dimension<boost::units::dimensionless_type,1,boost::units::time_base_dimension,-1>::type stroke_rate_dimension; typedef boost::units::derived_dimension<boost::units::length_dimension,3,boost::units::time_dimension,-1>::type flow_rate_dimension; typedef boost::units::unit<ourns::units::stroke_rate_dimension,boost::units::si::system> stroke_rate; typedef boost::units::unit<ourns::units::flow_rate_dimension,boost::units::si::system> flow_rate; However, I am receiving compiler errors when I try and include the units, Error 1 error C2039: 'value' : is not a member of 'boost::units::detail::dimension_list_tag' C:\Source\Simulations\tools\boost-msvc90-pro\boost\mpl\aux_\preprocessed\plain\less.hpp 20 CS.Calculations.Managed Error 2 error C2065: 'value' : undeclared identifier C:\Source\Simulations\tools\boost-msvc90-pro\boost\mpl\aux_\preprocessed\plain\less.hpp 21 CS.Calculations.Managed Error 3 error C2039: 'value' : is not a member of 'boost::units::detail::dimension_list_tag' C:\Source\Simulations\tools\boost-msvc90-pro\boost\mpl\aux_\preprocessed\plain\less.hpp 21 CS.Calculations.Managed Error 4 error C2065: 'value' : undeclared identifier C:\Source\Simulations\tools\boost-msvc90-pro\boost\mpl\aux_\preprocessed\plain\less.hpp 22 CS.Calculations.Managed And so on along these lines. What am I doing wrong with the units and/or dimensions? This is quite similar to energy_density_dimension, for example. typedef derived_dimension<length_base_dimension,-1,mass_base_dimension,1,time_base_dimension,-2>::type energy_density_dimension; However, I am failing to see any appreciable difference. Any thoughts? Thanks, Michael

units length operator * / area
by Michael Powell 08 Sep '11

08 Sep '11

Units users, How do I define an operator* which takes a quantity<length>,quantity<length> and returns a quantity<area>? This doesn't seem to be defined in the boost::units, which somewhat surprises me. How do we make something like that part of the core definition? Thanks, Michael

[Serialization]Serialization of pointer to pointers
by Kangkook Jee 08 Sep '11

08 Sep '11

Hi, all I'm trying to use boost library for serialization of my program which contains many custom class definitions. However, I can't figure out how to handle a class member which is *pointer to pointers* such as 'a' from the following code snippet. class B { A** a; friend class boost::serialization::access; … template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive &ar, const unsigned int version) { ar & a: …. Above code fails to be compiled with the following error message. … /usr/include/boost/archive/detail/oserializer.hpp:148:5: instantiated from ‘void boost::archive::detail::oserializer<Archive, T>::save_object_data(boost::archive::detail::basic_oarchive&, const void*) const [with Archive = boost::archive::text_oarchive, T = A*]’ serial0.cpp:118:1: instantiated from here /usr/include/boost/serialization/access.hpp:118:9: error: request for member ‘serialize’ in ‘t’, which is of non-class type ‘A*’ Do we have a typical way to handle a such case? I spend some time to find a solution from the web and tutorials but I couldn't. I'm new to the boost library and your helps will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kangkook

Re: [Boost-users] [!! SPAM] Wave Preprocessor without Using a Lexer
by Hartmut Kaiser 08 Sep '11

08 Sep '11

> Does anybody know how to use the wave preprocessor *without* using the cpp > lexer? That does not work. The Wave parser depends on getting tokenized input. This is by design and probably different from any other preprocessor. Those are normally implemented on the character level. Wave is not, it's a tokenizing preprocessor.

Re: [Boost-users] Unicode support in boost?
by code 07 Sep '11

07 Sep '11

Hi Vicente, Thank you for the reply. When I took a look at codes under "thread', I found there are some places where BOOST_NO_ANSI_APIS is related ( for example in once.hpp ) #ifdef BOOST_NO_ANSI_APIS typedef wchar_t once_char_type #else typedef char once_char_type #endif There is no relation between both librairies that I'm aware of. If you are more explicit with the problem you have, maybe we can help you better. Best, Vicente BTW, don't top post and please send message in text only mode.
