Boost Test Memory Dumping...
by Matt Amato 20 Oct '05

20 Oct '05

I have a simple Boost program using the unit test framework. When I run the program in debug, I get a dump of memory leaks. I can't find a way to stop these memory leaks from being reported (other than fixing the leaks of course). What is the proper way of disabling this output? I tried using boost::unit_test::unit_test_log.set_threshold_level but that didn't seem to work. Any ideas? Thanks, Matt Running 4 test cases... *** No errors detected Detected memory leaks!

[Boost on Pocket PC] Is Boost supported on Pocket PC platforms?
by Ansuman Kar 20 Oct '05

20 Oct '05

Hi, I'm a newbie user of Boost libraries. We have a requirement for making our sources work on Win32 and Pocket PC platforms. From my early look inside the boost libraries I can see the serious advantages of using them; but would like to find out which Boost libraries are supported on Pocket PC before using them. Quick searches through google and on boost.org site did not provide authoritative results, so I'm posting this question here - please let me know if a different alias is better suited for this question. Thanks. -Ansu __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com

[Boost.Graph] Double sided edge properties in undirected graph
by Ferdi Smit 20 Oct '05

20 Oct '05

What is the easiest (is there any) way to associate an edge property with both edge ends in an undirected graph in the BGL? I would like to iterate over the incident edges of a vertex, and obtain the edge property for that side of the edge the vertex is on. Ie. for A (5) <--E--> (1) B when iterating the incident edges of A, a request for this edge's (E) property would return 5, and when iterating vertex B's incident edge (E) it would return 1. For a directed graph this is simple: just store a "source" property and a "target" property in each edge. However in the case of an undirected graph the source vertex of an edge will always be the one you're iterating over incident edges from. So this wouldn't work, as it always return the "source" property then, no matter if I'm at A or B. A solution that came to mind is to convert the undirected graph into a directed graph with double edges everywhere. Then I can simply iterate over the out_edges and obtain the right property. However, this seems to be tedious and possibly a waste of space as I'm reinventing undirected graphs manually. Plus I have to rewrite edge removal etc. to keep things consistent. I'm aware that this is how BGL works internally anyhow for undirected graphs, so I don't want to reinvent it. Another "solution" is to store an associated vertex with the properties for the edge, giving two (vertex, value) pairs per edge. First of all this wastes space, and secondly it proves difficult to typedef this property inside the graph type as it is a cyclic dependency. External property maps could do the trick, but the space issue is still unresolved. (I'm primarily speaking of adjacency_lists in this post) A different issue: isn't BGLs genericity an illusion? Compared to for example the illusion of container independence in the STL? So far I've always needed to know what containers are used for the graph in order to make assumptions about iterator validity. For any algorithm using removal or addition a list is basically required, with all the added problems of the vertex indices not being ints... Is BGL still being actively developed? Can I expect positive changes in this area in the future? I really like the concept (no pun) of the BGL, but it's difficult to use at the moment imho. -- Regards, Ferdi Smit (M.Sc.)

Tokenizer: Low value as seperator
by CN 20 Oct '05

20 Oct '05

Hi! Library version 1.33.0. The input string contains null characters. I want to use null character as the seperator. The following code produces only "X". Why "Y" and "Z" are discarded and how to fix this code? ========= #include<iostream> #include<boost/tokenizer.hpp> int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { using namespace std; using namespace boost; string str="X\0Y\0Z"; typedef tokenizer<boost::char_separator<char> > Tok; char_separator<char> sep("\0"); Tok tokens(str, sep); for(Tok::iterator tok_iter = tokens.begin();tok_iter != tokens.end(); ++tok_iter) cout << *tok_iter; return EXIT_SUCCESS; } ========= Thank you in advance!

The original line 18 is (pay attention the correspond the parentheses) "Copyright|\\(c\\)|? I compile bcp with vc71 toolset and fails. I change this line with "Copyright|\\(c\\)|?" It's OK. I also check the code in the CVS, This error is not corrected.

Hi Guys, I remember seeing the regression test laid out in a table on the web somewhere. You could navigate to whichever result you were interested in. can someone point my in the right direction? John.

Actually enable_if only works for highly compliant compilers, so I'll have to resort to some uglier mechanism, but it can be done. This is planned to be solved (or added as a new feature, if you wish) in Boost 1.34. The problem was first brought to my attention in http://tinyurl.com/dnfzs. In the meantime I'm afraid you are forced to write your own key extractor (which is trivial, in any case.) Best regards, Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

question about subgraphs
by Jeffrey Holle 19 Oct '05

19 Oct '05

I am using boost 1.33.0. I want to use a subgraph to represent a spanning tree of a graph. This application requires adding and deleteing edges to just the tree and not the underlining graph though. Note that this wouldn't violate the requirements of a subgraph, a spanning tree contains all the vertices, and a subset of the edges of the underlining graph. Is it possible to do this, maybe through inheritance?

[MultiIndex] Key extraction from a base member
by Bruno Martínez 19 Oct '05

19 Oct '05

Hi. I have the following problem with MultiIndex. For struct Base { int id; }; struct Der : Base { }; I can't make a key extractor. This way typedef multi_index_container< Der, indexed_by< ordered_unique<member<Der, int, &Der::id> > >Set; doesn't work because &Der::id is of type pointer to member of Base. This other typedef multi_index_container< Der, indexed_by< ordered_unique<member<Base, int, &Base::id> > >Set; doesn't work because of the ChainedPtr overloads in member. I tried casting &Der::id to the appropiate type, but couldn't make it work. Maybe the solution is to put some enable_ifs in member. Regards, Bruno
