hi, I'm newbie. the only one thing that I wanted to ask is building boost 64bit on aix6.1. I try it a number of times. and I failed building 64bit boost objects. It built only 32bit objects. I used this option, address-model=64. but it didn't work. would you tell me how to build boost 64bit on aix6.1 thanks read this msg. 주식회사 테미 임영운(Yeong-woon Im) 305-764 대전광역시 유성구 대학로99 충남대학교 산학연교육연구관 807호 #807, TBI Center, Chungnam University 99 Daehak-ro, Yuseong-gu, Deajeon, 305-764 Korea Home URL : http://www.temee.co.kr Tel : 042-824-7014 Fax : 042-824-7015 Mobile : 010-6266-9960

FW: [phoenix][spirit][qi][utility] Version 1.57 of Boost Phoenix breaks when used with MSVC 2010 compiler?
by Andrew Nordquist 09 Apr '15

09 Apr '15

Hello, Boost Phoenix folks - I sent the message below a few weeks ago, looking for assistance in getting Boost 1.57 to compile with MSVC 2010 and my complex C++ code. I have yet to receive a response. Perhaps it was misdirected; maybe I need to send this to [spirit] or [qi] or [utility] or ...? In the weeks since I sent this, I have not exactly been idle on the subject. I have installed Boost 1.54, 1.55, and 1.56 on my computer. I have in turn tried each version by just switching out the include and linker locations. So far, I have found out that 1.53, 1.54, and 1.55 compile successfully. However, switching to 1.56 or 1.57, there is no success. The diagnostics for both versions are similar, regarding too few template arguments for a call to [utility] result_of.hpp that <boost/phoenix/core/detail/preprocessed/function_eval_10.hpp> is making. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how to make Boost 1.57 work with MSVC 2010 and my code? I would be grateful. Thank you, /Andrew Nordquist From: Andrew Nordquist Sent: Thursday, March 19, 2015 12:35 PM To: 'boost-users(a)lists.boost.org' Subject: [Phoenix] Version 1.57 of Phoenix breaks when used with MSVC 2010 compiler? Hello, folks - I must be doing something wrong, but I can't figure it out. I/we have been using Boost in our 20,000+ lines of C++ code for a few years now. We started with 1.43, went smoothly to 1.53, and although it was bumpy going from MSVC 2008 to MSVC 2010, we are there now. We are now using MSVC 2010 and Boost 1.53. We use many routines, including Phoenix, Spirit, bind, tie, etc. I am attempting to migrate to Boost 1.57. Got clobbered with about 400 lines of unexpected diagnostic in the compiler. That is the attached file. In the file, the lines showing the files named "cutoffitem.cpp" and "densitydelegate.cpp" are ours, but what is between these two lines is coming from Boost. It appears that it could be a C++11 type of problem, but I'm not sure . I read about that potential problem with the [utility] [result_of] class template in the report designated n3276 and in the 1.57 [utility] documentation. I think the major concern with this issue was going to Boost 1.52. In our code, I tried a quick-fix precompiler #define, but it did not work. Got any ideas? I'm about to go back to version 1.53, at least until I upgrade to Visual Studio 2013. Thank you, /Andrew Nordquist Research Analyst Southwest Research Institute San Antonio, TX, USA

Multiple defined symbols
by Lloyd 09 Apr '15

09 Apr '15

Hi, I have a "dll" project which is dependent on boost libraries like thread and system. When I compile my project I gen error like libboost_thread-vc120-mt-gd-1_57.lib(thread.obj) : error LNK2005: "public: virtual __thiscall boost::detail::thread_data_base::~thread_data_base(void)" (??1thread_data_base@detail@boost@@UAE@XZ) already defined in boost_thread-vc120-mt-gd-1_57.lib(boost_thread-vc120-mt-gd-1_57.dll) What I understood from this error is, my project is trying to link to both dynamic and static boost libraries. I only want to link to the boost thread dll. To my knowledge am not directly using any boost autolink feature. In the visual studio linking option I have mentioned only the "boost_thread-vc120-mt-gd-1_57.lib". Why could it be trying to link to libboost_thread-vc120-mt-gd-1_57.lib? Is there any way to find where this is happening? Thanks, Lloyd

[units] non-rational scaling
by Matthias Wohlgemuth 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Dear all, I have an issue with scaled units. I tried to implement a non-rational scaling of units adapted from scale<> class (all in boost::units namespace): template<class Derived> struct non_rational_scale { static const unsigned long base = 10; typedef boost::units::static_rational<0> exponent; typedef double value_type; static double value() { return Derived::value(); } static std::string name() { return Derived::name(); } static std::string symbol() { return Derived::symbol(); } }; struct electron_volt_scale : non_rational_scale<electron_volt_scale> { static double value() { return 1.60218e-19; } /* elementary charge in Coulombs */ static std::string name() { return "electron volt"; } static std::string symbol() { return "eV"; } }; typedef make_scaled_unit<si::energy, electron_volt_scale>::type electron_volt; This works fine in one direction: quantity<si::energy>(1.*electron_volt()); /* gives 1.60218e-19 J. */ However, in the other direction quantity<electron_volt>(1.*si::joule); /* gives 1 eV */ I guess, that I need some specialization for non_rational_scale to workout the correct scaling factor in the reverse direction. Thank you for your help, Matthias

[polygon] Voronoi diagram: weird results
by Jeremy Murphy 03 Apr '15

03 Apr '15

Hi, I started using the voronoi_diagram functionality recently and am getting some weird results that I need help interpreting. Here is an example: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9-L1xN12iKVYUlMb1hLY0FEMWs&authuser=0 What you can see here is a salmon (?) coloured layer of polygons (input) underneath a semi-transparent layer of pale blue polygons (output) and a boundary. So you can see that some of the output looks 'good', as in, regular and usable, but on the right-hand side there is some obvious 'bad' results that I cannot completely explain. The missing polygons are almost certainly because I have culled any polygons from the output that included points outside the boundary. But there are also appears to be some 'bad' polygons in the output that overlap 'good' ones. So I guess my initial question is: is this a typical symptom of something that other users of the voronoi_diagram recognize? I'm using Boost.Geometry for all other geometric processing. Thanks, cheers. Jeremy

FW: [log] Is there a way to copy the initial log of a rolling log set
by Marc F. Houde 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

Greetings, I am using boost::log with a text_file_backend sink with file rotation for logging on a long running application. I have set it up to clear earlier logs when the logging directory reaches a certain size, but I would like to preserve the initial log as it contains useful configuration information that may not be repeated in later logs. I thought I might be able to do this using set_close_handler, and making a copy but there does not appear to be a way to get the actual file information.

[boost][units] reciprocal conversion / inter unit conversion
by Matthias Wohlgemuth 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

Dear users, I just started to use boost::units for some simulations. However, I have some problems with unit conversions and I hope someone can help me. Let's say I have a quantity given in terms of energy in "electron volts" (eV) with the unit "energy". I defined the unit the following: BOOST_UNITS_DEFINE_BASE_UNIT_WITH_CONVERSIONS(si, electron_volts, "electron volts", "eV", PHYSICAL_CONSTANT_DVALUE(e), si::energy, 5000); namespace si { typedef make_system<electron_volts_base_unit>::type electron_volt_system; typedef unit<energy_dimension,si::electron_volt_system> electron_volt_type; BOOST_UNITS_STATIC_CONSTANT(eV,electron_volt_type); } where PHYSICAL_CONSTANT_DVALUE(e) gives me the double representation of si::constants::codata::e.value(). This works fine, for conversions like eV=>Joule etc. (By the way, is there a more straight forward way, to define non-rational scaled units, than defining a new unit sytem?) Now I want to convert eV to nanometers (wavelength) This is defined as: wavelength = c/frequency = h*c/energy (c=speed of light, h = Planck's constant) I would again define a system with the base unit of wavelength and the unit wavelength_type initialized e.g. with wavelength_nanometer. First Problem: What would be the derived dimension/unit: energy, length or a new dimension like wavelength_dimenson? If I would define it as something else than energy, I will have problems when using quantity<si::electron_volt_type>(x*si::wavelength_nanometer) or quantity<si::nanometer_type>(x*si::eV) Second problem: The relationship is reciprocal: wavelength ~ 1/energy. How do I define a proper conversion? Thanks for your help! Cheers, Matthias

[Graph] Reserving graph memory (again)
by Sensei 01 Apr '15

01 Apr '15

Dear all, Reading all the documentation online about memory reservation in a graph, I am still wondering if it would be possible to reserve memory in advance. With a vecS container it would be quite an advantage to reserve memory, but let me be clear, I am not saying that I know the number of edges in advance, so CRS isn't an option. Until now I know of two ways to do this. The first is to add & remove an edge: add_edge(0, num_vertices(g) + list.size() - 1, g); remove_edge(0, num_vertices(g) + list.size() - 1, g); however, it won't work in my context since I could (as you see from the code) add edges to an existing graph, and I am getting weird results. I am sure this is due to my code, however, add/remove isn't really a neat solution. The second option is weird: g.m_vertices.resize(list.size() - 1); This could be used, but m_* members should, as far as I understand, be private or protected. Is there any other nice possibility? For instance, a static function in the traits that reserves memory? In case, why this cannot be done by BGL APIs? Thanks!
