Extending boost graph edge class
by Rafael Gasperetti 03 May '16

03 May '16

Hi,My name is Rafael and I need to extend the edge class of de graph part of the boost lib, but I always find problems trying to do this. Can you help me with examples and explanations about how to do this?I read a lotação of places trying to do this but no help was found, please help me. Thanks a lot,Rafael

[boost.multiprecision] print cpp_int with a thousands separator
by Tassilo Glander 03 May '16

03 May '16

Dear List, how can I control the thousands separator behavior when streaming a cpp_int to std::cout? I think it is not possible without changing the global locale, as cpp_int.str uses lexical_cast, which uses the global locale object to read the thousands separator character. This prevents me from having a custom formatting like below. Is there another way? Best, Tassilo #include <iostream> #include <locale> #include <iomanip> int main() { struct my_numpunct : std::numpunct<char> { protected : virtual char do_thousands_sep() const override { return '.' ; } virtual std::string do_grouping() const override { return "\03" ; } }; cpp_int testNum(1000); std::cout.imbue( std::locale( std::cout.getloc(), new my_numpunct ) ) ; std::cout << testNum << '\n' ; // still get 1000, desired is 1.000 }

Multiprecision vector pass to function by reference

Hi, I am having some difficulties passing a vector of type std::vector<float128> to a function. I'm getting multiple errors out. The first few of which are: tql2.cpp:13:50: error: 'float128' was not declared in this scope void tql2(const int nm, int n, const std::vector<float128> & d, const std::vector<float128> & e, const std::vector< std::vector<float128> > & z, int ierr) ^ tql2.cpp:13:50: note: suggested alternative: In file included from tql2.cpp:1:0: /home/bcooper/Tarballs/boost_1_57_0/boost/multiprecision/float128.hpp:124:42: note: 'boost::multiprecision::float128' typedef number<float128_backend, et_off> float128; ^ tql2.cpp:13:58: error: template argument 1 is invalid void tql2(const int nm, int n, const std::vector<float128> & d, const std::vector<float128> & e, const std::vector< std::vector<float128> > & z, int ierr) ^ tql2.cpp:13:58: error: template argument 2 is invalid tql2.cpp:13:83: error: 'float128' was not declared in this scope void tql2(const int nm, int n, const std::vector<float128> & d, const std::vector<float128> & e, const std::vector< std::vector<float128> > & z, int ierr) ^ tql2.cpp:13:83: note: suggested alternative: In file included from tql2.cpp:1:0: /home/bcooper/Tarballs/boost_1_57_0/boost/multiprecision/float128.hpp:124:42: note: 'boost::multiprecision::float128' typedef number<float128_backend, et_off> float128; ^ The first few lines of my code are: #include <boost/multiprecision/float128.hpp> #include <boost/math/cstdfloat/cstdfloat_types.hpp> #include <boost/math/cstdfloat/cstdfloat_limits.hpp> #include <boost/math/cstdfloat/cstdfloat_cmath.hpp> #include <boost/math/cstdfloat/cstdfloat_iostream.hpp> extern "C"{ #include <quadmath.h> } #include <iostream> #include <vector> #include <iterator> void tql2(const int nm, int n, const std::vector<float128> & d, const std::vector<float128> & e, const std::vector< std::vector<float128> > & z, int ierr) { using namespace boost::multiprecision; ... } Not sure where I am going wrong? Any advice? Thanks,

Hi John, I opened tickets to track both issues: - Ticket #12170 (new Bugs) boost::multiprecision::export_bits throws on a negative cpp_int number - Ticket #12171 (new Feature Requests) boost::multiprecision should provide a hash function Best, Tassilo

boost log facility multithreading issue
by David Frank 01 May '16

01 May '16

Greetings,I have 4 threads, in each thread, I created its own log file using boost log facility, different from the ones in other thread.The problem is that the log entries I put into one file in one thread, got into all other log files in other threads, though the boost log instances are not shared among threads. Anyone know how to avoid this? Thanks, David

boost/multiprecision/float128
by Cooper, Bridgette R D 01 May '16

01 May '16

I'm new to boost. I am trying to use the float128 type for calculating sqrts as a larger part of code, however I am not sure the values obtained are accurate to float128 precision. I have tried running the example for printing log(2) found here, I find the same for sqrt: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_57_0/libs/multiprecision/doc/html/boost_mul… However, the value printed log(2) only agrees to 16 decimal places, i.e. double precision. The value I obtain is 0.693147180559945286226763982995180413 rather than 0.693147180559945309417232121458176575 I'm using: g++ (GCC) 4.8.2 20140120 (Red Hat 4.8.2-15) with boost 1.57.0. Any advice as to what I am doing incorrectly? My compile line is: g++ -I ~/$BOOSTLIB new.cpp -lquadmath -o new Thanks,

[utility] BOOST_IDENTITY_TYPE drops const-ness of value types
by Nick Stokes 29 Apr '16

29 Apr '16

Looks like const value types, once passed thru BOOST_IDENTITY_TYPE, "becomes" non-const. Like so: // Attempt to implement a multi-argument utility macro, where arguments are // types, parenthesized only when required (by the user, when type has commas) #define ASSERT_EQUAL( t1, t2 ) \ static_assert( std::is_same< \ BOOST_IDENTITY_TYPE((t1)), BOOST_IDENTITY_TYPE((t2)) \ >::value, #t1 " not same as " #t2) // sanity check: static_asserts as expected ASSERT_EQUAL( int, double ); // sanity check: static_assert as expected for types with commas ASSERT_EQUAL( (std::pair<int, double>), (std::pair<double, int>) ); // Here is the failure: this is expected to assert but it doesnt! ASSERT_EQUAL( const int, int ); >From the implementation of BOOST_IDENTITY_TYPE, it is clear why this is happening, as the function signature is independent of const-ness of value type. Is this a bug? Or is this not the way BOOST_IDENTITY_TYPE is supposed to be used? Nick

linking and including in visual studio
by David Medine 29 Apr '16

29 Apr '16

This is kind of a stupid question, and maybe more of a Windows/Visual Studio question than a boost one, but this has been troubling the back of my mind lately. Having learned to write and compile C++ code on Linux, I am always in the habit of explicitly stating the include and library paths for the compiler to search for, as well as the libraries themselves that need to be linked. However, I am revising some Visual Studio projects that use boost and I realized that the path I gave for 'Additional Library Directories' is $(BOOST_ROOT)/lib, but my version of boost hasn't got this directory (it's actually $(BOOST_ROOT)\libs). I then removed all references to boost from 'Additional Library Directories', and 'Additional Include Directories' and the application builds and runs swimmingly. This leads me to believe, that assigning the BOOST_ROOT environment variable in Windows is the only step that is needed for VS's auto linking magic to link correctly to boost. Am I right here, or is there something I am missing? Cheers, David

Date and Time with Boost
by Counter Wall 28 Apr '16

28 Apr '16

What I want to do is read a text file containing a text string in ISO 8601 combined date and time in utc format (e.g. 2016-04-26T12:45:05+00:00). I also want to have the freedom to convert this between time zones and have accurate daylight savings time data. Boost::datetime seems to read in the string, but it looks like boost::locale is recommended for time zone conversions and DLS. Is there a way for me to have both?

Re: [Boost-users] [boost.multiprecision] export_bits throws on a negative number
by Tassilo Glander 28 Apr '16

28 Apr '16

Hi John, thanks for stepping in. I would expect that the export just exports the memory representation of the number - maybe with flipped order via msv_first parameter. Especially, something exported via export_bits and than imported via import_bits should be the same, at least on the same platform. That said, I actually was just looking for a way to implement a hash function and thought it was straightforward to use chunks of char. But I could also compute the hash on the str() output. Tassilo
