build Boost on OSX with other sysroot
by Kraus Philipp 03 Aug '12

03 Aug '12

Hello, I try to build the Boost 1.50 under OSX (10.6), but I need another sysroot version. Because I need a build with i386 and linking again the /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/ Default build again the 10.6 SDK works very well. I have added to the bjam command the flag architecture=x86 and toolset=darwin (--with flags, link, etc), but how can I link the Boost libs to the 10.5 SDK? Thanks Phil

[fusion] creating fusion-vectors of references
by Oswin Krause 03 Aug '12

03 Aug '12

Hi list, I am new to fusion, so my problem might be really easy to solve. I have a fusion vector which looks a bit like typedef fusion::vector<std::vector<A>,std::vector<B>,std::vector<C> > Tuple; All vectors have the same size and I want from each of these std::vectors one specific element (like the 10th from every vector) and create a fusion::vector<A&,B&,C&> from these elements(my real problem is a bit more complicated, for example one of the vectors might be std::vector<bool>, so the type might be different from an actual reference) My first try was transform: //the Functor which extracts the i-th element class Get { private: std::size_t m_index; public: Get(std::size_t index):m_index(index){} template<typename Sig> struct result; template<typename U> struct result<Get(U&)>{ typedef typename U::reference type; }; template <typename U> typename result<Get(U)&>::type operator()(U& vec) const{ return vec[m_index]; } }; Tuple myTuple(...); fusion::vector<A&,B&,C&> ref = boost::fusion::transform(myTuple,Get(0)); But this doesn't work, because 1. transform only takes myTuple as constant argument. 2. it performs a value-initialization of the references in the constructor, not in the initialization list. Any solution to my problem? It should work for fusion::vector, but a solution which works for all fusion sequences is awarded with bonus points :). If there is no solution for fusion::vector, I would appreciate a solution for another container as well (but no bonus in this case!) Greetings, Oswin

boost::graph subgraph + write_graphviz()
by Chris Cooper 03 Aug '12

03 Aug '12

Hi, I'm trying to output an image showing subgraphs [0] using write_graphviz() in boost 1.48.0. I've tried to modify an example [1] by adding a write_graphviz() call. eg... std::ofstream ofs("out.dot"); const char* names[] = { "A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F" }; write_graphviz(ofs, G0.m_graph, make_label_writer(names)); This works fine for displaying the underlying graph, but no subgraphs are shown. When I do the following... write_graphviz(ofs, G0, make_label_writer(names)); I get a host of errors including... include/boost/graph/graphviz.hpp:377: error: no matching function for call to ‘get(boost::label_writer<const char**>&, Vertex&)’ I notice a comment in graphviz.hpp [2] 'requires graph_name graph property' so I had a look at the subgraph_properties.cpp example [3]. This seemed to only be showing vertex properties but didn't compile out of the box. Is it possible for someone experienced in boost::graph to post a modified version of [1] that can produce something like image [0], or point me in the right direction? Thanks, Chris [0] http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/libs/graph/doc/figs/subgraph.gif [1] http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/libs/graph/example/subgraph.cpp [2] http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/boost/graph/graphviz.hpp [3] http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/libs/graph/example/subgraph_properties…

Re: [Boost-users] Using <boost/math/distributions/non_central_t.hpp> gives unexpected error

gcc-3.8 is referenced on the net in posts early in 2005. Looks like the latest MinGW release http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW/Base/gcc/Version4/gcc-4.6… has gcc-4.6. The latest MinGW release could assist in a variety of areas including this one. Neil Nelson

Using <boost/math/distributions/non_central_t.hpp> gives unexpected error
by Avinash K. Hathiramani 02 Aug '12

02 Aug '12

Hello, I am new to using the Boost libraries and I was very happy to see that there is a non-central t distribution class in Boost (I have not managed to find this anywhere else). Unfortunately I am not able to use this without getting an error. Here is my code: #include <boost/math/distributions/non_central_t.hpp> using namespace std; double nu = 3.0; double delta = 3.0; double x = 3.0; boost::math::non_central_t_distribution<double> nct(delta, nu); double test_pdf = pdf(nct, x); double test_cdf = cdf(nct, x); cout << "Probability density of Student's t is " << test_cdf << endl; cout << "Cumulative probability of Student's t is " << test_cdf << endl; This does not give any results and if I put in an error catch here, I get the following message: "Error in function boost::math::gamma_p_derivative<e>(e, e): numeric overflow". I do not follow what is going wrong and I am able to get results for both the CDF and PDF with the same parameters from MATLAB (and an on-line calculator which I found for this distribution), so I do not think that the parameters are invalid. I would be grateful if anyone can advise me as to whether I am doing anything incorrectly here. I apologise in advance if I have missed anything obvious, or unintentionally broken any of the discussion policies (it is my first time posting on this forum). Thank you in advance for your help. Kind regards, Avinash

Hi Dave, > 1. Type erasure is Java's only answer for genericity, which is bad for > performance. > > 2. Java does all its type erasure one object at a time, which leads to > the dreaded binary method problem. Well, these, AFAICU, make a distinctive difference. And, the distinction doesn't stop here: For example, Java's type erasure has a nasty effect on overload resolution too. > Steven's library supports something a lot more like Haskell's > implementation of generics. Which is why I suggested calling it "staged typing"/"deferred typing". Cheers, --Hossein

Announce: Boost 1.50 installer for 32-bit Windows now available
by John Wiegley 01 Aug '12

01 Aug '12

With apologies to the community for not finding the time to release Windows installers for 1.48 and 1.49, we now have an installer for 1.50 available for immediate download: http://www.boostpro.com/download The version installs 32-bit libraries and/or DLLs for the following compilers: Visual C++ 8.0 (Visual Studio 2005) Visual C++ 9.0 (Visual Studio 2008) Visual C++ 10.0 (Visual Studio 2010) We are dropping support for Visual C++ 7.1 as of this time, unless someone wishes to contract us to bring it back. Also, although I have prepared a 64-bit installer, I have not yet found a solution for integrating it with the existing installer. If anyone with NSIS scripting experience would be willing to assist me, we'd be happy to provide a free installer which installs both 32-bit and 64-bit Boost libraries for applicable Windows platforms. Enjoy! -- John Wiegley BoostPro Computing Software Development Training http://www.boostpro.com Clang/LLVM/EDG Compilers C++ Boost
