Problem with time_period
by Alejandro Escalante Medina <alejandro_escalante_medina＠yahoo.com.mx> 27 Feb '03

27 Feb '03

The following simple code doesn't compile: ---------------------------------------------- #define DATE_TIME_INLINE #include <boost/date_time/gregorian/gregorian.hpp> #include <boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time.hpp> using namespace boost; using namespace boost::posix_time; using namespace boost::gregorian; ... time_period p(ptime(date(2003, 03, 25)), ptime(date(2003, 04, 25))); date_duration duration(days(1)); p.shift(duration); ---------------------------------------------------- the compiler (VC++ 7.0) gives the following: error C2664: 'boost::date_time::period<class boost::posix_time::ptime,class boost::posix_time::time_duration>::shift' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'boost::gregorian::date_duration' to 'const boost::posix_time::time_duration &' Reason: cannot convert from 'boost::gregorian::date_duration' to 'const boost::posix_time::time_duration' No constructor could take the source type, or constructor overload resolution was ambiguous I think this should work out of the box, since I've been doing lots of other things with date_time and they work fine. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Alex

uBLAS - Matrix Inversion
by Thomas Reisinger 25 Feb '03

25 Feb '03

Dear Newsgroup, I'm new in the field of numeric computing and I would like to learn more about it. To solve my problem I need to invert a matix and use the intermediate result as the input for following calculations. I browsed the uBLAS library and played a little bit with it but I didn't find a routine for matrix inversion. Is there any possibility to preform it in a single step? Is this package the wrong tool for doing this and I should use LAPACK++ or similar stuff? Thanks in advance, Thomas -- Thomas Reisinger Braunschweig Germany mailto:t.reisinger@tu-bs.de

date_time problems
by Eric Crampton 25 Feb '03

25 Feb '03

I'm trying to test the date_time functionality of boost and am having some difficulties. I would like to simply get the current local time into a ptime and write it out as an ISO-8601 string. Using Boost 1.29 and g++ 3.2, when I compile the following code I get a number of *linker* errors. Code: #include <boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time_types.hpp> #include <boost/date_time/posix_time/time_formatters.hpp> int main() { boost::posix_time::ptime pt = boost::posix_time::second_clock::local_time(); std::cout << boost::posix_time::to_iso_extended_string(pt) << std::endl; } That code seems pretty straightforward to me. The linker errors look like the following: test.cpp:7: undefined reference to `boost::date_time::gregorian_calendar_base<boost::date_time::year_month_day_base<boost::gregorian::greg_year, boost::gregorian::greg_month, boost::gregorian::greg_day>, unsigned long>::day_number(boost::date_time::year_month_day_base<boost::gregorian::greg_year, boost::gregorian::greg_month, boost::gregorian::greg_day> const&)' test.cpp:6: undefined reference to `boost::date_time::gregorian_calendar_base<boost::date_time::year_month_day_base<boost::gregorian::greg_year, boost::gregorian::greg_month, boost::gregorian::greg_day>, unsigned long>::from_day_number(unsigned long)' (snipped...) Best as I can tell (cd $BOOST_ROOT/boost/date_time && find . -name '*.cpp' -print), there are no .cpp files to be compiled... Anyone know what's up? --Eric _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963

Is implicit casting with boost::any possible?
by Matthew Dempsky 25 Feb '03

25 Feb '03

I'm curious if there's any way to get code like the following to work: boost::any a = char(10); int i = boost::any_cast<int>(a); More specifically, what I mean is, I'd like to be able to place a value of type T1 in 'a' and then retrieve it as type T2 which it can be implicitly cast to. Is this possible without the part that extracts the value from 'a' adding a lot of extra code to test all possibilities? What I would like to do is fill a map<string, any> with function pointers/objects/etc. and pass it to a function which casts the any values to slot types to connect to different signals whose type is determined at runtime. Basically something like this (but with MySig an unknown type until runtime). int func(char c, int i = 10); boost::any a = &func; typedef boost::signal<void (char)> MySig; MySig sig; sig.connect(boost::any_cast<MySig::slot_type>(a)); sig('j'); -jivera

C++ object from PyObject pointer
by mghiggins <mghiggins＠yahoo.com> 24 Feb '03

24 Feb '03

Excuse my newbiness if this question is too dumb... :) I've built a python extension from a C++ class using boost - it all seems to work fine. However, now another C++ function is receiving a pointer to a PyObject that represents an instance of this "boosted" python class. How do I pick off a pointer to the underlying C++ object from the PyObject pointer?

Re: [Boost-Users] lexical_cast bug.

>From: "Eduardo Chao" <efchao(a)hotmail.com> > I am a new suscriber to the list. > I want to report what I consider a bug in lexical_cast conversion template. > First, I wanted to use it to convert things to std::string (Target). > It throws a bad_lexical_cast_exception when I pass an empty std::string object (one > that is default-constructed or constructed with "") as the Source argument. > It throws it because the condition (interpreter >> result ) evaluates to > false. Yes, this is a bug in the current version, see (http://www.boost.org/libs/conversion/lexical_cast.htm#future) There's a proposition which fixes this and other problems here (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/lexical_cast_proposition/lexical_ cast_proposition.zip). It's scheduled to be reviewed by the author, Kevlin Henney, or Björn Karlsson (Boost's maintenance wizard), before Boost release 1.30. If they find it ok, a notice will also be posted at the Boost list, so that others may give feedback before the release, as well. > My solution was to specialize the function template this way: > > template<> lexical_cast<std::string>(const std::string &str) > { > return str; > } The proposition handles it in a similar way. However, it's not possible to partially specialise function templates (e.g. to handle all T -> std::basic_string conversions), so function template overloading is used, instead. This is because it needs to handle conversion from any type to std::basic_string, as there may be other types which output empty strings or whitespace, as well. > but it is not so general to support const std::string or const std::string& > as Target type or perhaps std::string or const std::string etc as Source. > Correct me if I am wrong, so I learn from you more experienced Boost (and then C++) users. No, you're right. However, it's only necessary to handle T -> std::basic_string (not cv-qualification or reference) in this case, because: lexical_cast<std::string>(...); // Ok lexical_cast<const std::string>(...); // Error, can't write to a const string lexical_cast<const std::string &>(...); // Error, can't return a reference to the result (it would then return a dangling reference, as the result would be a temporary) lexical_cast<std::string>(const_cast<const std::string>(...)); // Ok, top-level cv-qualifiers are ignored when matching the call Regards, Terje

[BGL] Using external edge properties
by yg-boost-users＠m.gmane.org 22 Feb '03

22 Feb '03

I have a graph which might change during it's lifetime. I want to attach external properties to this graph. Now, it seems like that in order to be able to attach external properties, I need to have an internal property with edge indices, ie that enumerates the edges. These indices need to be continuous as I gather, since they are used to index for instance a vector of num_edges() elements. Does this mean that I have to re-enumerate all edges if I remove one? This seems to me very cumbersome and also time consuming if the graph is large and changes a lot. Is there another way? Björn Lindberg

bug in shared_ptr
by Simone Finotti 22 Feb '03

22 Feb '03

hi all, I don't know if this is the right place to report bug, if it's not please forgive me. I was trying to use boost/shared_ptr.hpp class, so I defined BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS because my compiler doesn't support C++ exceptions, but I receive this error: ..\..\boost_1_29_0\boost/detail/shared_count.hpp(122) : error C2039: 'use_count_is_zero' : is not a member of 'boost' ..\..\boost_1_29_0\boost/detail/shared_count.hpp(122) : error C2065: 'use_count_is_zero' : undeclared identifier in detail, here's an excerpt from shared_count.hpp, where the compiler gives the error: void add_ref() { #ifdef BOOST_HAS_THREADS mutex_type::scoped_lock lock(mtx_); #endif if(use_count_ == 0 && weak_count_ != 0) boost::throw_exception(boost::use_count_is_zero()); ++use_count_; ++weak_count_; } use_count_is_zero is not defined because it's defined, in the same file, as: #ifndef BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS class use_count_is_zero: public std::exception { public: virtual char const * what() const throw() { return "boost::use_count_is_zero"; } }; #endif is there a way to make it work? -- Simone
