RE: [Boost-Users] Unary predicate for shared_ptr == 'real' pointe r?

Thanks! In a sense, I can sympathize with your co-workers. I spent hours trying to get that predicate right - I kept screwing up the 'inner' bind. I keep hoping the more I work with the boost libraries the easier it will get. In my case, that's yet to be seen. ;) Thanks again.

The whole "new int" thing seems a little odd, but that's an artifact of creating example code. What do your co-workers say? I feel like I'm missing something here. --Mark Storer Software Engineer Cardiff Software #include <disclaimer> typedef std::disclaimer<Cardiff> Discard;

Unary predicate for shared_ptr == 'real' pointer?
by dick.bridges＠tais.com 11 Apr '03

11 Apr '03

This is probably more of a C++ than an boost question but, since it involves shared_ptr, I thought I'd try it here first. I've got a vector of shared_ptrS (e.g., vector<shared_ptr<T> > v;) and I need to find the entry given the 'real' pointer to the underlying T. Looping thru the vector like this: <snippet> for( vector<shared_ptr<T>::iterator itr = v.begin(); itr != v.end(); itr++) { if( itr->get() == real_this){...} } </snippet> works but seems klunky. I should be able to use [find_if( v.begin(), v.end (), ???)] but I can't work out the predicate. Any help or "pointers" ;) will be greatly appreciated. TIA

I agree that this looks non-orthogonal >on first sight. I'll look into it. In my specific case I have a number of objects determined at run time and am randomly picking a number between one and the number of objects in order to select one. The workaround is to simply test for one before the call, but the assert was unexpected. Thanks, Glen [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Hmmm... You seem to have uncovered a corner case, not covered by the Standard requirements. I will change the pool_allocator (and fast_pool_allocator) to be able to handle this by returning NULL. > Method simple_segregated_storage<SizeType>::try_malloc_n( > void * & start, size_type n, const size_type partition_size) has > problem too if parameter n is 0.

Most implementations round the quotient towards zero and produce a remainder with the same sign as the quotient. Evidently you want to have a non-negative remainder always. The simplest solution, I think, is: DifferenceType length = std::distance( m_begin, m_end ); n %= length; if (n < 0) n += length;
