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?

[GRAPH] How to use an external edge weight map in dijkstra_shortest_paths
by rohit wadhwa 24 Jan '06

24 Jan '06

Hi, I am a newbie and have been struggling over the past couple of days with dijkstra_shortest_paths. I want to use WeightMap as an external property. I create the Graph as follows typedef boost::adjacency_list<boost::vecS,boost::vecS, boost::directedS,boost::no_property, boost::property<boost::edge_index_t, std::size_t> > Graph; I added edges using add_edge(fromVertex, toVertex, edge_index, Graph); My edge_index can have any long value and they are not necessarily in sequence. Also, I want to create the weight map on the fly and want to use a std::map. I have tried all sorts of things but to no avail. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Rohit.

[iostreams] non-copyable device with Boost.Ref pattern
by Pedro Lamarão 24 Jan '06

24 Jan '06

Here follows a simple pattern to use Boost.IOstreams with your non-copyable Device, allowing you quick access to formatted input and output: #include <boost/iostreams/stream.hpp> #include <boost/ref.hpp> #include "foo_device.hpp" /* Don't; just to make lines shorter. */ using boost::iostreams; using boost; class foo_device; class foo_stream_base { public: /* Define constructor forwarding to foo_device. */ foo_stream_base (...) : _M_device(...) {} protected: foo_device _M_device; }; class foo_stream : private foo_stream_base, public stream<reference_wrapper<foo_device> > { public: /* Define constructor forwarding to foo_device. */ foo_stream (...) : foo_stream_base(...), stream<reference_wrapper<foo_device> >(ref(_M_device)) {} }; -- Pedro Lamarão Desenvolvimento Intersix Technologies S.A.

boost::iostreams - access object 'below' the stream
by Leon Mergen 24 Jan '06

24 Jan '06

Hello, Little question: I'm toying around to replace my socket_stream class with a boost::iostreams::stream class to implement a more generic approach... now, I use the socket file descriptor/handle as a unique identifier in my application, and so far this could easily be retrieved; however, when the boost::iostreams::stream "layer" is on top of my socket class, this is pretty much inaccessable. What is the most common approach to handle this problem ? I really don't want to resort to some kind of tuple which describes the stream and the handle, but at the moment, a construction like that is the only thing my mind can come up with... any suggestions ? Thanks in advance for any reactions. Regards, Leon Mergen

thread library
by Robert Hanson 24 Jan '06

24 Jan '06

I'm looking at porting a windows (win32) app to linux. Is there a good reason to consider the boost thread library over the linux thread library? Does boost provide a wrapper for threads, so that I won't need to change my source code when porting between the two?

How to reduce the boost library size
by Jianhong Wang 24 Jan '06

24 Jan '06

Hi I compiled version 1.33.1 under a Windows XP machine with MingW (gcc 3.4.2). The compiling is very smoothing. However the size of directory "boost" is around 1.27 GB. I believe there is some command to clean the building lib, but I could not find it. Any suggestion? thanks!

Tokenizer usage, combining escaped_list_ and char_?
by Jeremy Tudisco 24 Jan '06

24 Jan '06

I'm attempting to process a scripting language from a file through tokenizer (only recently found out about Spirit, more on that later), and am having difficulties, namely, in processing input like this: "[ ExampleRoutine input; switch( input.messageNumber ) { 1: "Number 1"; 2: "Stand. On one foot (and jump around)"; 3: ! a comment to be ignored input.messageNumber = 1; break; } ];" The ending quotes mark the input as a string literal, the internal are part of the file. The problem comes from the fact that I need to process certain separators as tokens, such as braces, parentheses, periods, end lines, etc, but also allow escape characters in the case of the quotes, which should be treated as one returned token. My current method of processing this is: typedef char_separator<char> CharSep; typedef tokenizer<CharSep> CharTokenizer; typedef CharTokenizer::iterator CTokenIter; const CharSep g_RoutineSep(" \t\n,", "\"';[]{}()<>.!"); #define S_QUOTE "\"" ... // meanwhile, inside a function body CharTokenizer tok( getRoutineFromFile(), g_RoutineSep ); CTokenIter curTok( tok.begin() ); for(; ( curTok != tok.end() ) && ( *curTok != S_CBRACKET ); ++curTok ) { string curWord; if( ( *curTok == S_QUOTE ) { for(++curTok; ( *curTok != S_QUOTE ) && ( curTok != tok.end() ); ++curTok) { curWord += *curTok + ' '; // sure, we could check to see if *curTok is a punctation mark, and if so // not include that last space, but a better way must exist! } } else { // assume it's a command word, and process it here } } Of course, this is prone to gross misinterpretation, as "switch( input.messageNumber )" would be handled in each iteration as "switch", "(", "input", ".", "messageNumber", ")". Yet, this same functionality breaks the string literal into unnatural spacings, as the above code would turn it into "Stand . On one foot ( and jump around ) ", which isn't desired. However, as it stands, escape_list_separator doesn't return the separators, it just acts upon them, so all that fancy operator parsing isn't possible out of the box, requiring breaking things like "switch(" and "input.messageNumber" into separate things. Possible, yes, but extra work. So, the question. Could my needs be satisfied by defining my own TokenizerFunction, and if so, is there a simpler/more exhaustive reference besides the page? Or, conversely, is it time to look into Spirit? - Veni, Vidi, Vemaili. I came, I saw, I replied. -- Jeremy Tudisco, circa now.

Re: [Boost-users] How to reduce the boost library size

Jianhong, If you did a simple Boost build without restricting the output, then your Boost output directory will have many variants of each library. For example, you will have static and dynamic libraries; libraries with and without debug information, libraries with and without threading. And, for each of the above, you will have a two copies of the library named with and without the Boost version number (e.g., -1_31_1) as a suffix. If you decided what combination of debug/threading/static/version you want, you can delete the others, or at least move them elsewhere. Merrill
