shared_ptr and typedef
by David A. Greene 25 Jan '06

25 Jan '06

Well, if nothing else, I'm learning lots about the corners of the language! I've got the following testcase: #include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp> #include <iostream> template<typename Base> class Handle { public: typedef boost::shared_ptr<Base> type; }; template<typename Type> void print_shared_ptr(boost::shared_ptr<Type> ptr) { std::cout << "Value is " << *ptr << std::endl; } template<typename Type> void print_handle(typename Handle<Type>::type ptr) { std::cout << "Value is " << *ptr << std::endl; } int main(void) { Handle<int>::type iptr(new int(10)); print_shared_ptr(iptr); print_handle<int>(iptr); print_handle(iptr); return(0); } The calls to print_shared_ptr and the first print_handle resolve just fine but the compiler (g++ 4.0.2) can't seem to resolve the final call to print_handle: shared_ptr.cc: In function 'int main()': shared_ptr.cc:29: error: no matching function for call to 'print_handle(boost::shared_ptr<int>&)' The point of class Handle is to hide the implementation detail that boost::shared_ptr is being used to manage resources. I would like the ability to easily change the type of smart pointer used throughout the application. What's going on here? Is there a way to make this work without having to explicitly specify the type to print_handle? Thanks. -Dave

Serialization of boost::shared_ptr<int>?
by Joseph Turian 25 Jan '06

25 Jan '06

Hi Robert and everyone, Thank you for explaining to me about BOOST_STRONGTYPE. I'll let you know how that goes for me. And thank you for being so patient and trying to help me get serialization working in my program. In the meantime, I'm experiencing a much simpler problem. Although I can serialize classes of the form boost::shared_ptr<T>, where T is a class I've defined, I get compilation errors if I try to serialize a boost::shared_ptr<int>. How can I resolve this? Code snippet: ----------------------------------------------- #include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp> #include <boost/archive/text_oarchive.hpp> #include <boost/archive/text_iarchive.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/base_object.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/utility.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/shared_ptr.hpp> int main() { std::ofstream ofs("archive"); boost::archive::text_oarchive oa(ofs); boost::shared_ptr<int> i; oa << i; return 0; } ----------------------------------------------- g++ output:

program_options requires non-const argv
by Steve Byan 25 Jan '06

25 Jan '06

I'm used to declaring main() as int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) Attempting to use boost::program_options with a const char * argv[] results in the compilation errors appended below on SLES 9 with gcc 3.3.3. Similar errors are reported on Mac OS 10.4.4 with gcc 4.0.1. First, I'd consider it an enhancement if program_options were to support a const char * argv[]. Second, is program_options actually modifying argv? Note the last error: "/usr/include/g++/bits/basic_string.tcc:160: error: assignment of read-only location" Regards, -Steve /usr/bin/g++ -c -UNDEBUG -DDEBUG -Dpowerpc -Ddarwin6_0 -I/home/smb/

I think what Jens is getting at is that you should use the duck-typing that C++ templating affords you: #include <boost/smart_ptr.hpp> #include <iostream> using namespace std; template<typename Handle> void print_handle(Handle p) { cout << *p << endl; } int main() { int * a = new int(5); boost::shared_ptr<int> b(new int(6)); print_handle(a);print_handle(b); } $ ./a.out 5 6

[spirit] "parseable" foo_thing with Boost.Spirit pattern
by Pedro Lamarão 25 Jan '06

25 Jan '06

Here follows a simple pattern to use Boost.Spirit to create a "parseable" object, with a bonus formatted input operator, allowing you quick access to formatter input for your type. (Yeah, this stuff needs tweaking for better error handling, etc.) class foo_thing { public: /* Other methods and stuff. */ template <typename ForwardIterator> boost::spirit::parse_info<IteratorT> parse (ForwardIterator begin, ForwardIterator end); private: class grammar; /* Data members, etc. */ }; template <typename CharT, typename TraitsT> std::basic_istream<CharT, TraitsT>& operator>> (std::basic_istream<CharT, TraitsT>& i, foo_thing& thing) { using namespace std; using namespace boost::spirit; typedef multi_pass<istreambuf_iterator<CharT> > iterator_t; iterator_t begin(i); iterator_t end = make_multi_pass(istreambuf_iterator<CharT>()); /* What if thing.parse() throws? */ parse_info<iterator_t> info = thing.parse(begin, end); if (!info.hit) i.setstate(ios_base::failbit); return i; } class foo_thing::grammar : public boost::spirit::grammar<foo_thing::grammar> { public: grammar (foo_thing& thing) : _M_thing(thing) {} template <typename ScannerT> class definition; private: foo_thing mutable& _M_thing; }; template <typename ScannerT> class foo_thing::grammar::definition { public: /* Define this one; your parser ultimately writes to self._M_thing. */ definition (foo_thing::grammar const& self); boost::spirit::rule<ScannerT> const& start () const; private: /* Populate with rules. */ }; template <typename IteratorT> boost::spirit::parse_info<IteratorT> foo_thing::parse (IteratorT begin, IteratorT end) { namespace s = boost::spirit; grammar g(*this); s::parse_info<IteratorT> r = s::parse(begin, end, g); return r; } -- Pedro Lamarão Desenvolvimento Intersix Technologies S.A.

I manually deleted all the files flagged as Intel binaries, then re-did the build, and hey presto, they reappeared - as Intel binaries!!

I pressume I could simply copy the headers from the boost directory to where I need them - is this all the build/install does? James

shared_ptr and typedef
by David A. Greene 25 Jan '06

25 Jan '06

Well, if nothing else, I'm learning lots about the corners of the language! I've got the following testcase: #include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp> #include <iostream> template<typename Base> class Handle { public: typedef boost::shared_ptr<Base> type; }; template<typename Type> void print_shared_ptr(boost::shared_ptr<Type> ptr) { std::cout << "Value is " << *ptr << std::endl; } template<typename Type> void print_handle(typename Handle<Type>::type ptr) { std::cout << "Value is " << *ptr << std::endl; } int main(void) { Handle<int>::type iptr(new int(10)); print_shared_ptr(iptr); print_handle<int>(iptr); print_handle(iptr); return(0); } The calls to print_shared_ptr and the first print_handle resolve just fine but the compiler (g++ 4.0.2) can't seem to resolve the final call to print_handle: shared_ptr.cc: In function 'int main()': shared_ptr.cc:29: error: no matching function for call to 'print_handle(boost::shared_ptr<int>&)' The point of class Handle is to hide the implementation detail that boost::shared_ptr is being used to manage resources. I would like the ability to easily change the type of smart pointer used throughout the application. What's going on here? Is there a way to make this work without having to explicitly specify the type to print_handle? Thanks. -Dave

[BGL] Help with initialization of graph from image
by Jef Driesen 25 Jan '06

25 Jan '06

I'm trying to create a graph from an image, where pixel values are regions labels. I have defined my graph to use lists instead of the vectors (because I need to add/remove vertices and edges) and one extra property for the vertex (the region label): typedef boost::adjacency_list< boost::listS, // Adjacency list boost::listS, // Vertex list boost::undirectedS, // Undirected graph unsigned int, // Vertex property (=label) boost::no_property, // Edge property boost::no_property, // Graph property boost::listS // Edge list > graph; typedef boost::graph_traits<graph>::vertex_descriptor vertex_t; typedef boost::graph_traits<graph>::edge_descriptor edge_t; I have the following pseudo code to populate the graph: graph g; for each pixel (i,j) { unsigned int u_label = image[i][j]; for each neighbourhood pixel (k,l) { unsigned int v_label = image[k][l]; if (u_label != v_label) { // Find/add both vertices vertex_t u = boost::add_vertex(u_label,g); vertex_t v = boost::add_vertex(v_label, g); // Find/add edge boost::add_edge(u, v, g); } } } But this creates many duplicates (with regard to the label) for both vertices and edges. How can i prevent this? Would using a set for the edges solves my problem? And how can I add a vertex only if it does not exist already?

[serialization] How to serializa reference counted C arrays?
by Lukasz Dobrek 25 Jan '06

25 Jan '06

Basically can anybody give me a hint how to properly serialize this class, using boost serialization library? Regards Lukasz class A { public: A( int size ) : m_size( size ) { m_ref_count = new int; *m_ref_count = 1; m_vec = new double [ m_size ]; } ~A(){ (*m_ref_count)--; if ( *m_ref_count == 0 ){ delete m_vec; } } A( const A & a ) : m_size ( a.m_size ) , m_ref_count( a.m_ref_count ) , m_vec( a.m_vec ) { (*m_ref_count)++; } int * m_ref_count; double * m_vec; int m_size; };

So it's perfectly reasonable to not free it. I could've sworn we just went through this a few months back. Perhaps its time to put a comment that links to the appropriate boost mailing thread. http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2005/08/13538.php Might be related?
