Boost and Intellisense
by Leo Cacciari 16 May '18

16 May '18

Hi, I'm developing a windows application using boost libraries. Unfurtunately, some parameters of it are totally out of my control, nor I have the leverage needed to change it. Namely, - the application *must* use Visual C++ 9.0 runtime - the IDE to be used is capped at Visual Studio 2013 - to avoid problems with other related projects, the boost release should be 1.54.0 (here I have a modicum of liberty, as far as the previous two conditions are satisfied) I may live whit all of the above, however Intellisense has some glitches that are annoying me. For one, it appears unable to recognize the boost::asio::ip namespace. If I define a variable as, for instance boost::asio::ip::udp::endpoint ep; Intellisense marks 'ip' in red and keeps saying that ep is undefined (and consequently doesn't offer completion for its methods). I have tried including directly boost/asio/ip/udp.hpp and also putting an "using boost::asio::ip::udp" before the above definition as in #include <boost/asio/ip/udp.hpp> using boost::asio::ip::udp; udp::endpoint ep; but nothing changes (I'll gladly post a screenshot if I knew which is the accepted way to post images to this list). It should be noted that, aside from this and some analogous problems, Intellisense works fine, making the above even more annoying. Does anyone have a solution to this problem that do not violate the aforementioned constraints? Thanks in avance lc -- Leo Cacciari Aliae nationes servitutem pati possunt.

phoenix: BOOST_PHOENIX_NO_VARIADIC_EXPRESSION purpose
by MM 10 May '18

10 May '18

Hello (Thomas Heller, Joel de Guzman :-) ) In /usr/include/boost/phoenix/object/construct.hpp, there appears this preprocessor test on this macro BOOST_PHOENIX_NO_VARIADIC_EXPRESSION whereby the code either: 1. includes boost/phoenix/object/detail/cpp03/construct_expr.hpp , or 2. defines a expression inline Is that macro used to workaround some compiler limitations (and/or c++ std version) back in the day? I work with g++7 and std=c++14, and boost 1.64, and yet somehow boost/phoenix/object/detail/cpp03/construct_expr.hpp is included, and somewhere down the line a compilation error happens. The cpp03 is unnerving. Rds, MM

Boost Graph Library(biconnected_components) issue
by Meghana.M Reddy 07 May '18

07 May '18

Hi, I am working on the Boost Graph Library, currently trying to create an interface of the biconnected_components method to a Python code. I used the example code available here <https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_67_0/libs/graph/example/biconnected_compon…> for the method and modified it for my purpose. The template of the method is here <https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_67_0/libs/graph/doc/biconnected_components…>. The final code seems fine but I get an error while compiling it. And the errors are related to adjacency.hpp which I have not changed so I'm confused as to what the exact problem is. Hoping someone can help me out. My code: class BoostGraph { private: typedef typename boost::adjacency_list< OutEdgeListS, VertexListS, DirectedS, boost::property<boost::vertex_index_t, v_index>, EdgeProperty, boost::no_property, EdgeListS> adjacency_list; typedef typename boost::property_map<adjacency_list, boost::edge_index_t>::type components; public: adjacency_list graph; std::vector<v_index> bc_tree() { components components_bc = get(boost::edge_index, graph); std::size_t num_comps = biconnected_components(graph, components_bc); std::cerr << "Found " << num_comps << " biconnected components.\n"; std::vector<vertex_descriptor> art_points; articulation_points(graph, std::back_inserter(art_points)); std::cerr << "Found " << art_points.size() << " articulation points.\n"; std::vector<v_index> to_return; return to_return; } The error I'm getting: build/cythonized/sage/graphs/base/boost_graph.cpp:3730:26: required from here /home/meghana/Documents/sage_gsoc/sage_may/sage/local/ include/boost/graph/detail/adjacency_list.hpp:2696:29: error: forming reference to void typedef value_type& reference; ^ /home/meghana/Documents/sage_gsoc/sage_may/sage/local/ include/boost/graph/detail/adjacency_list.hpp:2697:35: error: forming reference to void typedef const value_type& const_reference; ^ /home/meghana/Documents/sage_gsoc/sage_may/sage/local/ include/boost/graph/detail/adjacency_list.hpp:2701:61: error: forming reference to void typename Graph::vertex_descriptor,Property,Tag> type; ^ /home/meghana/Documents/sage_gsoc/sage_may/sage/local/ include/boost/graph/detail/adjacency_list.hpp:2704:68: error: forming reference to void typename Graph::vertex_descriptor,const Property, Tag> const_type; ^ error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 Makefile:33: recipe for target 'sage' failed make: *** [sage] Error 1 Thank you, Meghana

Installing pre-built binaries on Windows with Docker
by Matthew Berry 04 May '18

04 May '18

Hi, I tried installing pre-built 1.67 binaries from https://dl.bintray.com/boostorg/release/1.67.0/binaries/ in a Windows Server Docker container but am running into an issue where the installation does not complete. I ran the installer exe in silent mode. A lot of the files including headers are installed, but not the lib directory with the binaries. The Inno Setup log does not indicate an error, it just stops writing in the middle of the installation. Does anyone know why installation does not complete? Has anyone been able to install pre-built libraries in a Windows Docker container? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Matt

Why is BOOST_OS_WINDOWS defined on Linux
by David Demelier 04 May '18

04 May '18

Hello, Everything is in the title, the following code compiles and shows "Windows" even though I'm running Fedora 28. I can't understand. #include <iostream> #include <boost/predef.h> int main() { #if defined(BOOST_OS_WINDOWS) puts("Windows"); #endif } I'm using Boost 1.66 with GCC 8.0.1. Regards, -- David

Bi-Directional Links in call to Push-Relabel Max Flow (UNCLASSIFIED)
by Glover, Anthony E CTR USARMY RDECOM (US) 03 May '18

03 May '18

CLASSIFICATION: UNCLASSIFIED Hello, I am new to the Boost Graph library and had a question concerning the Push-Relabel Max Flow method. From the documentation, it states: The CapacityEdgeMap argument cap must map each edge in E to a positive number, and each edge in ET to 0. >From looking at the examples provided, it appears that an edge is added with some non-zero capacity and then the reverse edge is created with a capacity of 0 as the documentation states is needed. However, if I truly want a reverse edge with non-zero capacity, it appears that I have to create a second pair of edges going the other direction. I end up creating 4 total edges to handle the bi-directional flow capacity. Is that truly how the graph should be configured in order to use the method? Maybe I'm just not using it as designed. Thank You, Tony CLASSIFICATION: UNCLASSIFIED

Veracode Scan
by Abhijit Dutta 03 May '18

03 May '18

Hi There, As part of release practice in our org., we have run Veracode (static) scan on our application which uses BOOST. We got good amount of error pointing to the BOOST libraries. Detecting the false positives and fixing the code will be a tedious task. So, want to know if anyone in the community has faced such situations and want to share their experience on resolving those. ~Thanx Abhijit
