Hi Igor, I'm using "new" to allocate the object. My code looks like, In hpp file, typedef Std::map<Std::string, int> MyMap; class MyClass { ........... private boost::shared_ptr< MyMap > m_myMap; } In cpp file MyClass::MyClass() { m_ myMap.reset(new MyMap); } MyClass::~MyClass() { m_ myMap.reset(); } Best regards, Hua

compiling error after upgrading from boost 1.33.1 to boost 1.36.0

Hello, I upgraded the boost library in my workstation from boost 1.33.1 to boost 1.36.0. When I compiled my program, I got following errors, /usr/include/boost/detail/sp_counted_impl.hpp:192: error: template argument 3 is invalid /usr/include/boost/detail/sp_counted_impl.hpp:198: error: 'a' has not been declared /usr/include/boost/detail/sp_counted_impl.hpp: In constructor 'boost::detail::sp_counted_impl_pda<P, D, <template-parameter-1-3> >::sp_counted_impl_pda(P, D, int)': /usr/include/boost/detail/sp_counted_impl.hpp:198: error: 'a' was not declared in this scope /usr/include/boost/detail/sp_counted_impl.hpp: In member function 'virtual void boost::detail::sp_counted_impl_pda<P, D, <template-parameter-1-3> >::destroy()': /usr/include/boost/detail/sp_counted_impl.hpp:209: error: expected nested-name-specifier before 'template' /usr/include/boost/detail/sp_counted_impl.hpp:209: error: expected unqualified-id before 'template' /usr/include/boost/detail/sp_counted_impl.hpp:211: error: 'A2' was not declared in this scope /usr/include/boost/detail/sp_counted_impl.hpp:211: error: expected `;' before 'a2' /usr/include/boost/detail/sp_counted_impl.hpp:214: error: 'a2' was not declared in this scope I'm using gcc 4.1.2.

Michael, It sounds to me like you're making this altogether too complicated. Don't focus on the software; focus on the science. The size of the "degree" unit is the same for Kelvin and Celsius. (I.e., if the temperature changes by 1 degree K, it changes by exactly 1 degree C.) The only this that is different between Kelvin and Celsius is the zero point. For Kelvin, 0 degrees is absolute zero and there are no negative values of temperature. (Well, that's not quite right, but you'll never encounter the exceptions.) For Celsius, 0 degrees is the freezing point of water at sea level. To convert between Kelvin and Celcius, just add or subtract a constant. That constant has a value of 273.15. That is, you can make a dimensionally-safe conversion from Kelvin to Celcius by subtracting 273.15. Converting from Celsius to Kelvin by adding 273.15. Cheers, Rick Aurbach Aurbach & Associates, Inc.

I've got an I2C controller that reports in Kelvin, but I want to report it to the end-user in Celsius. The examples I am finding seem to "almost" fit the bill, but I am having a difficult time extrapolating a sane conversion. First, would help if I understood what the Boost.Units SI (my assumed base-system) base-temperature units were. I gather Fahrenheit? Or is it indeed Kelvin? I could be mistaken. Thank you...

[boost::log] how to format a record message
by Eric Prud'hommeaux 15 Aug '13

15 Aug '13

I have a project which has a handy stream filter in the formatter which indents newlines in logged messages to some depth à la: I/O [- 2 +] <loadedData> { <s> <p> <o> . <s> <p> <o2> . } </loadedData> (No, I'm not using an XML decorator above, though perhaps I should be.) I've maintained this for several generations of boost::log, e.g. #if (BOOST_VERSION > 104600) // could use (BOOST_LOG_COMPATIBILITY == "1.46") if cpp compared strings sink->set_formatter(&LineIndenter); #else backend->set_formatter(&LineIndenter); #endif but now that boost::log's released (1000s of thanks!!!), I'd like to switch to a channel_severity_filter. I had a custom formatter before in order to fiddle with the rec.message: inline void LineIndenter (std::ostream& strm, logging::record const& rec) { std::stringstream ss; oprfxnstream prfxstr(ss.rdbuf(), depth, ' '); ... stuff with attrs prfxstr << rec.message(); strm << ss.str(); } That member seems to be gone from logging::record and besides, it'd be nicer to use something like: boost::log::add_console_log (std::clog, boost::log::keywords::filter = min_severity || severity >= critical, boost::log::keywords::format = (boost::log::expressions::stream << line_id << ": <" << severity << "> [" << channel << "] " << lineIndenter(boost::log::expressions::smessage) ) ); I haven't figured out the signature for lineIndenter. I have the impression that I'm implementing a decorator like boost/log/expressions/formatters/c_decorator.hpp . So what's an easy way to wrap the attached stream filter (or a subclass constructed with some necessary constants) and pass it to a formatter? -- -ericP

graph theoretical problem
by Peter Foelsche 15 Aug '13

15 Aug '13

Dear All, does the boost graph library provide a solution to the problem I'm trying to solve: I want to distribute a set of tasks to multiple CPUs/Threads. The tasks have predecessor and successor dependencies. There are no loops. More often than not, a task consists of only very few operations. So if I brute force program this, the resulting code is busy only with scheduling -- the real code does not show up in the profiling results. I think this can be solved by collapsing some tasks into a single task to minimize scheduling/communication. I've got a cost function associated with every task. Is this some well known algorithm which is already available in boost graph? Kind Regards Peter Foelsche

[bgl] adding nodes recursively
by Littlefield, Tyler 14 Aug '13

14 Aug '13

Hello all: I have a game with multiple rooms, which I would like to map to a graph. Given this, I have a couple of questions. One of my goals is to separate each individual area and have it on it's own graph, then connect the graphs. Is this a possibility? I remember reading about connected graphs for my data structures class, but we didn't get to far with them. My second issue is I will have a vector of rooms, which all have exits. Each individual room will be a vertex with the exits being the edges. I can recursively add all the exits that a room points to, then come back and add the rest of the exits. But there may be two exits pointing to the same room. Is there a quick way that I could insure that rather than creating a new vertex, I could just point the edge to the preexisting vertex? Finally, i have one other question. I plan to create resources based on a bunch of different factors. Basically I need a way to determine the closest resources and perhaps get the shortest path to them, or the weight of all of the edges that would point to the n closest resources that were spawned. I want to use this weight to determine the density or find another way to determine density and spread the resources out across the world. -- Take care, Ty http://tds-solutions.net He that will not reason is a bigot; he that cannot reason is a fool; he that dares not reason is a slave.

Stability of Boost::Serialization XML Output
by Andreas Neustifter 14 Aug '13

14 Aug '13

Hi List, I have to provide digital signatures of serialized C++ objects, I'm planing on using Boost::Serialization for the XML part. Since XML signatures and XMLDsig in particular are difficult [1] and littered with pitfalls I was wondering if maybe the XML output of Boost::Serialization is stable enough to do a plain byte-oriented PKCSwhatever signature? To summarize: - C++ objects are serialized to XML with Boost::Serialization (XML is used since date has to be as human readable as possible). - Serialized XML has to be digitally signed. - XMLDsig is complicated [1] Question: Does Boost::Serialization with the XML backend produce bytewise the same data every time? I sincerely hope that I made myself clear. Andreas [1] http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/xmlsec.txt

[msm] exit points & favor compile time policy
by Alexander Mingalev 14 Aug '13

14 Aug '13

Hi, I faced to a strange problem. I'm working with root fsm & child fsm. Child fsm has an exit point called "End". I use vs2012u3, boost 1.54 transition table from root looks like that: struct Waiting : state<> {}; // Child is typedef for back-end struct transition_table : public boost::mpl::vector< ... Row < Waiting, begin, Child >, Row < Child::exit_pt<Child::End>, none, Waiting >, ... > {}; So, when I use F-C-T- policy, the Child fsm is stuck in Child::End state, the root fsm never moves to Waiting again. It doesn't happen with default policy. I noticed, that there is a note in msm's changelog From V2.24 to V2.25 (Boost 1.54) • Bugfix: Exit points broken for the favor_compile_time policy. looks similar to my case. Christophe, can you check that bugfix?

Unicode regex example
by Stefan Schweter 14 Aug '13

14 Aug '13

Hi, here is an unicode regex example, which I want to get matched: #include <iostream> #include <boost/regex.hpp> #include <boost/regex/icu.hpp> int main() { std::setlocale(LC_ALL, ""); boost::wregex condition(L"\\p{u}"); std::wstring test_word(L"Ü"); if (boost::regex_match(test_word, condition)) { std::wcout << L"Matches!" << std::endl; } boost::wregex condition2(L"[[:upper:]]"); if (boost::regex_match(test_word, condition2)) { std::wcout << L"Matches!" << std::endl; } boost::u32regex condition3 = boost::make_u32regex(L"\\p{u}"); if (boost::u32regex_match(test_word, condition3)) { std::wcout << L"Matches using lib icu!" << std::endl; } return 0; } Compiled with -lboost_regex -licuuc. Result: Only the last regex condition matches. So I have a few questions: 1. Is u32regex + make_u32regex the *only* way to get my regex condition matched? 2. Why does "upper class" in the second regex condition not match. E.g. when I use: echo "Ü" | grep '[[:upper:]]' on command line - it works properly :) Thanks in advance + regards, Stefan

[System]
by Geoff Shannon 14 Aug '13

14 Aug '13

Hey all, I've been looking over the Boost System library with an eye to making use of the system error codes functionality. Specifically, I want to use it to turn error codes returned by unix system calls like socket, accept, listen etc. into thrown exceptions. However, from the documentation I can't understand how I'm supposed to do this. Anybody know, or have good clear example code to share? Thanks, -- Geoff Nothing is ever easy.
