[boost C++] algorithm for shortest path
by Boost lzw 13 Oct '09

13 Oct '09

Hi there, For the following unidirectional (one-direct only) pairs: A-B; G-H; B-D; D-G; H-K; K-D; The shortest path between A and D is: A-B-D, but none between A and H. Which Boost library should I use to develop such an algorithm or any hint on design it ? Thanks in advance. Robert

[python] Alternative to explicitly defining function pointers?
by Boris Schaeling 13 Oct '09

13 Oct '09

Is it possible to simplify this code without defining a function pointer? ----- struct X { void y(std::string) { } std::string y() { return ""; } }; std::string (X::*get_y)() = &X::y; class_<X>("X").add_property("y", get_y); ----- I tried to set the signature but if the documentation is right signatures only make sense for function objects - so this code doesn't work: class_<X>("X").add_property("y", make_function(&X::y, default_call_policies(), mpl::vector<std::string>())); Anything else Boost.Python offers to make adding properties even easier? If there is nothing I know at least that I didn't miss a shortcut and have to define function pointers myself. Boris

[PREPROCESSOR] Working around the 256 element limit for sequences
by Rush Manbert 13 Oct '09

13 Oct '09

We define exception error codes and other useful information like this: #define EXCEPTION_TABLE \ ( (enumName0, "description string", "another sting", "yet another string") ) \ ( (enumName1, "description string", "another sting", "yet another string") ) \ . . . // End EXCEPTION_TABLE def Then we write a macro that creates an enum like this: #define ENUM_ERROR_CODES(EXCEPTION_TABLE_MACRO_NAME, firstErrorCodeValue)\ public: typedef enum \ { \ \ BOOST_PP_SEQ_FOR_EACH_I(MAKE_EXCEPTION_CODE_ENUM, ~, EXCEPTION_TABLE_MACRO_NAME) \ } ErrorCodesT; \ // End macro definition and we invoke ENUM_ERROR_CODES as: ENUM_EROR_CODEAS(EXCEPTION_TABLE, 1) This has worked just beautifully until recently. Now we're trying to use this code to define an enum (and other things) based on an EXCEPTION_TABLE that carries error code for a hardware device. There are about 500 of them. I ran into the 256 element limitation for sequences. I have tried rewriting the enum macro like this: #define ENUM_ERROR_CODES(EXCEPTION_TABLE_MACRO_NAME, firstErrorCodeValue)\ public: typedef enum \ { \ \ BOOST_PP_SEQ_FOR_EACH_I(MAKE_EXCEPTION_CODE_ENUM, ~, BOOST_PP_SEQ_SUBSEQ(EXCEPTION_TABLE_MACRO_NAME, 0, 250))\ BOOST_PP_SEQ_FOR_EACH_I(MAKE_EXCEPTION_CODE_ENUM, ~, BOOST_PP_SEQ_SUBSEQ(EXCEPTION_TABLE_MACRO_NAME, 250, 250))\ BOOST_PP_SEQ_FOR_EACH_I(MAKE_EXCEPTION_CODE_ENUM, ~, BOOST_PP_SEQ_SUBSEQ(EXCEPTION_TABLE_MACRO_NAME, 500, 250))\ BOOST_PP_SEQ_FOR_EACH_I(MAKE_EXCEPTION_CODE_ENUM, ~, BOOST_PP_SEQ_SUBSEQ(EXCEPTION_TABLE_MACRO_NAME, 750, 250))\ } ErrorCodesT; \ // End macro definition thinking that I could just peel off groups of 250, but that doesn't work. I can peel off the first N, where N is <= the size of the sequence, but I certainly can't do what I wrote. Each of our exception classes is defined this way, and the number of elements in each EXCEPTION_TABLE is different for each. Is there some standard method for working around this problem? Thanks, Rush

exception error_info list?
by denis 12 Oct '09

12 Oct '09

Hi, what do you think about exposing the error_info-map of boost::exception? I would like to get all attached error infos from one exception. Then, everyone could implement his own version of diagnostic_information() without relying on boost internals. Beside that, I had another idea: When translating an exception it would be possible to copy all error_infos from the originating exception to the new one. How do you handle this loss of information at the time? thanks.

Numpy ndarray as argument or return value using boost python
by Pim Schellart 12 Oct '09

12 Oct '09

Hi Everyone, I tried to find a good example for this but after spending two days on google and one day getting pyublas to compile I decided to call for help. I want to give a numpy ndarray as an argument to a c++ method, calculate something and return the output as an ndarray to Python. I would prefer not to use another library (such as PyUblas) for this so I do not have to add another dependency to my program. Since the latest information on boost python is quite outdated (uses numeric) I would like to know the following. 1. Is boost python still maintained or should I switch to another tool. 2. Is numpy supported, and if so, 3. can someone give me a basic example of how to use it. Kind regards, Pim Schellart

[BGL] read_graphviz and Bundle Properties
by Giuseppe Di Guglielmo 12 Oct '09

12 Oct '09

Dear all, here http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_40_0/libs/graph/doc/read_graphviz.html is reported how to use the read_graphviz function with old style "property list". How can I use the read_graphviz() function with bundle properties? This is my graph-type definition --- struct VertexId_t { std::size_t id; }; struct EdgeId_t { std::size_t id; }; typedef boost::adjacency_list<boost::vecS, boost::vecS, boost::directedS, VertexId_t, EdgeId_t> Graph_t; --- And this is the DOT file: --- G { 0 [id="v0"]; 1 [id="v1"]; 0->0 [id="e0"]; 0->0 [id="e1"]; 0->1 [id="e2"]; } --- Cheers, G.

[Proto] proto::function and constness
by Kim Kuen Tang 12 Oct '09

12 Oct '09

Hi all, let _o_ be any proto terminal and v a vector. I would like to extract the vector v from the expression _o_(v) to do some modification on this vector. For this purpose i defined a grammar Rhs to extract the most right hand side of the tree. But unfortunately the compiler is asking me for constness for this code: boost::result_of<Rhs(Expr)>::type & result = Rhs()(expr); Whereas the expression _o_ + v compiles fine without asking me for constness. Am I missing something? Best regards, Kim Here is the code to demonstrate the problem. # include <vector> # include <iostream> # include <algorithm> # include <boost/proto/proto.hpp> namespace proto = boost::proto; namespace mpl = boost::mpl; using proto::_; template<typename Expr> struct MixedExpr; struct MixedDomain : proto::domain<proto::generator<MixedExpr> > {}; template<typename Expr> struct MixedExpr : proto::extends<Expr, MixedExpr<Expr>, MixedDomain> { explicit MixedExpr(Expr const &expr) : proto::extends<Expr, MixedExpr<Expr>, MixedDomain>(expr) {} }; struct oo { friend std::ostream &operator<<(std::ostream &s, oo const&) { return s << "oo"; } }; proto::terminal<oo>::type const _o_ = {{}}; template<typename T> struct IsMixed : mpl::false_ {}; template<typename T, typename A> struct IsMixed<std::vector<T, A> > : mpl::true_ {}; namespace MixedOps { BOOST_PROTO_DEFINE_OPERATORS(IsMixed,MixedDomain) }; namespace boost { namespace proto { template<typename T, typename A> std::ostream &operator<<(std::ostream &s, std::vector<T, A> const& ) { return s << "std::vector"; } }} struct Rhs : proto::or_< proto::when<proto::terminal<_>, proto::_value > ,proto::when<_, Rhs(proto::_child1)> > {}; template<typename Expr> void o_o(Expr& expr) { proto::display_expr(expr); boost::result_of<Rhs(Expr)>::type & result = Rhs()(expr); std::fill(result.begin(), result.end(),2); }; int main() { using namespace MixedOps; std::vector<int> u(10),v(10); //o_o( _o_(v) ); //uncomment this won't compile o_o( u+v ); std::copy(v.begin(),v.end(),std::ostream_iterator<int>(std::cout,",") ); std::cout<<std::endl; return 1; }

graphlib changes in 1.40
by Ralph Gauges 12 Oct '09

12 Oct '09

Hi, I use the graph library in some of my programs and I recently moved to boost 1.40 because older version did not work on snow leopard. I noticed that although the changelog does not mention any changes in the graph library, some of the layout algorithms have changes (e.g. random layout and fruchterman reingold) in the way they are called. They seem to use some new topology concept, unfortunately the documentation for those algorithms have not been updated. I was wondering if there is any updated documentation especially on the fruchterman reingold algorithm. I tried to guess what the new parameters mean, but so far I have not been able to get the same results as with the graph library from 1.39. No matter how I set the values so far, all my nodes end up essentially in the same place, although they are all disconnected and I would expect them to be spread out. Thanks a lot Ralph

Using fftw_complex with Boost.MultiArray?
by Rhys Ulerich 12 Oct '09

12 Oct '09

Has anyone successfully used FFTW's fftw_complex typedef[1] with Boost.MultiArray? Under the covers it is an array of length two, which seems to interact poorly with MultiArray's type assumptions. The attached test.cc fails to compile on g++ 4.3 and icpc 10.1. - Rhys [1] http://www.fftw.org/doc/Complex-numbers.html

[xpressive] Shouldn't external placeholder variables allow consts?
by Ami Ganguli 12 Oct '09

I came across an interesting problem: what.let(_placeholder = this); fails to compile, because 'this' is a const pointer. A simple workaround: MyClass *_this = this; what.let(_placeholder = _this); But surely this shouldn't be necessary? Couldn't the right hand side of the let be declared const? Regards, Ami.

[shared_ptr] Using a custom delete function that is a class member function
by Ryan McConnehey 11 Oct '09

11 Oct '09

I have a class that provides a shared_ptr number. At the end of the number's life cycle it should be placed back on a list of available numbers. The shared_ptr's custom deleter function looks like what I need. I'm able to get a free function to compile as the deleter just fine. In trying to use a class member function as the custom deleter I've run into compile errors. I'm not sure where I'm going wrong. I know the custom deleter need to be copy constructible and I'm probably breaking some assumed requirement. Any help on what I'm doing wrong would be appreciated. Ryan class CTNGenerator { public: CTNGenerator(void) { m_AvailableCTNs.resize(20); unsigned short startValue = 15; for (ctns::iterator itor = m_AvailableCTNs.begin(); itor != m_AvailableCTNs.end(); ++itor) { //This compiles fine. boost::bind(boost::mem_fun(&CTNGenerator::makeCTNAvailable), this); //Placing the call as the custom delete function doesn't compile. *itor = bus(new unsigned short(startValue++), boost::bind(boost::mem_fun(&CTNGenerator::makeCTNAvailable, this))); } } private: void CTNGenerator::makeCTNAvailable(unsigned short * ctn) { m_AvailableCTNs.push_back(boost::shared_ptr<unsigned short>(ctn)); } private: typedef boost::shared_ptr<unsigned short> bus; typedef std::list<bus> ctns; ctns m_AvailableCTNs; };

Not able to use multiple cores with boost::asio::ssl
by Ramashish Baranwal 11 Oct '09

11 Oct '09

Hi, I have an application where I am planning to use boost::asio's ssl streams. There are two parts of the app, the initial connection establishment and ssl handshake is done by boost::asio::ssl and the connection is then transferred to the core application which does the the rest. I have written a prototype using multiple threads and io_services similar to io_service_pool example. I am using a dual quad core machine, however I am not able to get the cpu usage beyond one core (i.e. it never exceeds 12-14% in the top) no matter how much the load. On doing some profiling I found that the time taken from socket accept to ssl handshake completion deteriorates linearly with the number of connections without using the other cores. I am not using any explicit locks so expected the application to scale well with the number of cores available. Is is not possible to use multiple cores with boost::asio::ssl libraries or am I not doing it right? A pseudo-code of the app- start connection acceptors handle_accept() { new_conn = new Connection(io_service_pool.get_io_service()); new_conn->start(); } Connection::start() { ssl_socket_.async_handshake(handle_handshake); } Connection::handle_handshake(error) { if (!error) // transfer connection to the application core } Thanks in advance, Ramashish

[python] Function objects in place of member functions
by Ravi 10 Oct '09

10 Oct '09

Hello, If a free function 'func' has X* as its first argument, then, boost.python allows it to be bound to a member function on the python side, i.e., the following is legal: void func( X* x, arg1_t arg ) { ... } class_<X>( "X" ).def( "func", &func ); In order to use a function object in place of a free function, one must specialize/overload boost::python::detail::get_signature which, for some reason, does not account for function objects. Here's a very simple example that works: ---------------------------------------------- #include <boost/mpl/vector.hpp> struct X { int y; }; // Function object struct Z { int operator()( X *x, int z ) { return z + x->y; } }; namespace boost { namespace python { namespace detail { mpl::vector<int, X*, int> get_signature( Z&, X* ) {return mpl::vector<int, X*, int>();} }}} #include <boost/python/class.hpp> #include <boost/python/module.hpp> BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE( mft ) { boost::python::class_<X>( "X" ) .def( "z", Z() ).def_readwrite( "y", &X::y ); } ------------------------------------------------- However, note that the overload of get_signature precedes the inclusion of the boost.python headers, which is extremely inconvenient. However, if the headers are moved to their proper location as in the following, ---------------------------------------------- #include <boost/mpl/vector.hpp> #include <boost/python/class.hpp> #include <boost/python/module.hpp> struct X { int y; }; // Function object struct Z { int operator()( X *x, int z ) { return z + x->y; } }; namespace boost { namespace python { namespace detail { boost::mpl::vector<int, X*, int> get_signature( Z&, X* ) {return boost::mpl::vector<int, X*, int>();} }}} BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE( mft ) { boost::python::class_<X>( "X" ) .def( "z", Z() ).def_readwrite( "y", &X::y ); } ------------------------------------------------- the compilation fails with the following error message (gcc 4.4.1 with boost 1.37 or 1.39): $ g++ -Wall -shared -o mft.so memft.cc -lboost_python-mt - I/usr/include/python2.6 -fPIC In file included from memft.cc:1: /usr/include/boost/python/class.hpp: In member function ‘void boost::python::class_<T, X1, X2, X3>::def_impl(T*, const char*, Fn, const Helper&, ...) [with T = X, Fn = Z, Helper = boost::python::detail::def_helper<const char*, boost::python::detail::not_specified, boost::python::detail::not_specified, boost::python::detail::not_specified>, W = X, X1 = boost::python::detail::not_specified, X2 = boost::python::detail::not_specified, X3 = boost::python::detail::not_specified]’: /usr/include/boost/python/class.hpp:235: instantiated from ‘boost::python::class_<T, X1, X2, X3>& boost::python::class_<T, X1, X2, X3>::def(const char*, F) [with F = Z, W = X, X1 = boost::python::detail::not_specified, X2 = boost::python::detail::not_specified, X3 = boost::python::detail::not_specified]’ memft.cc:16: instantiated from here /usr/include/boost/python/class.hpp:536: error: no matching function for call to ‘get_signature(Z&, X*)’ Why is the overloaded get_signature not picked up when it is declared *after* the inclusion of the headers? The reason for using function objects is to change the argument types of a member function of X as seen by python; for example, the functor would have an argument type 'double' and would then internally convert the received 'double' argument from the python side into some custom type prior to passing it to the member function of X. In other words, the functor would act as a C++ equivalent of a python decorator. Regards, Ravi

[asio] "bad_descriptor" on async_send_to + socket.close
by Tacheon the Nucleid 09 Oct '09

09 Oct '09

[asio] "bad_descriptor" error on async_send_to + socket.close Hi, I am trying to close a UDP socket on which an async_send_to operation is running. The handler is like this: void Sender::handleSend(error_code const & e, size_t bt) { this_thread::sleep(posix_time::seconds(1)); socket.async_send_to(buffer, remoteEndpoint, bind(&Sender::handleSend, this, placeholders::error, placeholders::bytes_transferred)); } The sender itself is fine. But on some special occasions I have to close the socket. I do it like this: void Sender::do_close() { socket.close(); } void close() { socket.get_io_service().post( bind(&Sender::do_close, this)); } When close() is called, the async handler yields a "bad_descriptor" error. I would expect an "operation_aborted" error as stated in the documentation. For async_receive, everything is fine and works as expected. What am i getting wrong? Greetings, B.

[BGL] reset of the random number generator in the sorted_erdos_renyi_iterator
by Marti Cuquet 09 Oct '09

09 Oct '09

Hi, I noticed that when generating several graphs with the sorted_erdos_renyi_iterator with the same random generator all of them happen to be the same. Looking at erdos_renyi_generator.hpp I see that there is a reset in the generator. This does not happens in the normal (unsorted) erdos_renyi_iterator since the generator is passed by reference in the constructor. I'm still not confortable with the BGL and the random libraries, but I might say that it is better to pass the random generator by reference. Is there a special reason for not doing so? Thank you, Martí

[BGL] Modern benchmarks available?
by Nathan Cooprider 08 Oct '09

08 Oct '09

I'm evaluating the Boost Graph Library for a project would like to present my manager with some benchmark numbers. The only ones I have been able to find are from the GGCL OOPSLA paper, and those are pretty out of date. Does anybody know of any modern work at benchmarking BGL performance? I am looking at adjacency lists with sets in particular, but anything is better than nothing. I realize that I may just have to give big-O estimates in the end (because it is all dependent on the graph structure), but any estimates would help me for my initial evaluation. I have generally steered clear of Parallel BGL because it does not seem as mature as BGL. Is this a false assumption? Should I look further into PBGL? Thank you very much. Nathan

The only difference is that my utf8 text resides in std::string: #include <sstream> #include <iostream> #include "boost/archive/detail/utf8_codecvt_facet.hpp" // link with boost/libs/serialization/src/utf8_codecvt_facet.cpp int main() { std::string utf; utf.resize(11); // hardcode some utf8 text utf[0] = 0xd7; utf[1] = 0x90; utf[2] = 0xd7; utf[3] = 0x99; utf[4] = 0xd7; utf[5] = 0x92; utf[6] = 0xd7; utf[7] = 0x95; utf[8] = 0xd7; utf[9] = 0xa8; utf[10] = 0x0; std::locale old_locale; std::locale utf8_locale(old_locale, new boost::archive::detail::utf8_codecvt_facet()); std::locale::global(utf8_locale); std::stringstream in; in.imbue(utf8_locale); in.str(utf); std::wstringstream out; out << in; std::wcout << out.str() << std::endl; } The above code doesn't work: "out" buffer doesn't contain correct unicode interpretation of the string. Actually, all i want is a c++ equivalent to the following WinAPI: #include "windows.h" int main() { std::string utf; utf.resize(11); // hardcode some utf8 text utf[0] = 0xd7; utf[1] = 0x90; utf[2] = 0xd7; utf[3] = 0x99; utf[4] = 0xd7; utf[5] = 0x92; utf[6] = 0xd7; utf[7] = 0x95; utf[8] = 0xd7; utf[9] = 0xa8; utf[10] = 0x0; wchar_t outBuff[11]; MultiByteToWideChar(CP_UTF8, 0, utf.c_str(), -1, outBuff, 10); } ...which works well. Any idea would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

newbie: help to start with object_pool
by Jenia 08 Oct '09

08 Oct '09

Hi this is my first try with boost. I need an object pool, where I can preallocate X objects and reuse them with ability to allocate more if the pool runs empty and shrink my pool if needed. My questions: 1. Is object_pool suitable for this purpose? 2. Does object_pool.free() returns object memory to the pool or return pool's memory to the system? 3. How do I use object_pool.construct()? I didn't get the number of parameters requirement in the documentation (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_40_0/libs/pool/doc/interfaces/object_pool.h…)

Re: [Boost-users] error C2733 second C linkage of overloaded function InterlockedIncrement not allowed
by Darth Vader 08 Oct '09

08 Oct '09

This is an old thread (1 year old) I'm answering to: This is about compiling some of the Boost library (1.39) on Windows CE 6.0. I got the following error: error C2733 second C linkage of overloaded function _InterlockedIncrement not allowed It turns out that "_InterlockedIncrement" is already defined in winbase.h so I commented out: extern "C" long __cdecl InterlockedIncrement( long* ); extern "C" long __cdecl InterlockedDecrement( long* ); extern "C" long __cdecl InterlockedCompareExchange( long*, long, long ); extern "C" long __cdecl InterlockedExchange( long*, long ); extern "C" long __cdecl InterlockedExchangeAdd( long*, long ); In interlocked.hpp and everything compiled fine.

[xpressive] Calling a placeholder method from within an action?
by Ami Ganguli 08 Oct '09

08 Oct '09

Hi all, I'm using an object as a placeholder, and would like to call various methods to the object from within my actions. Something along the lines of: port = (s1= *digit) [ _placeholder->setPort( as<int>(s1) ) ]; I've found a way to do something equivalent using method pointers, but the resulting code is really opaque. I'm afraid nobody else will ever be able to figure out what I've done. I also know I can do this by creating separate function objects for each method that will be called. This is less opaque, but really verbose. I end up with hundreds of lines of boilerplate code. Is there a "right" way to achieve something similar? Regards, Ami.

Stripped down "runtime" version of boost
by Paul Moore 08 Oct '09

08 Oct '09

At the moment, I'm using boost by simply unpacking the archive (I've only needed the header-only libraries thus far). But it's a fairly large archive, full of things that aren't actually needed to simply *use* the libraries. Is there a means of creating a subset of the boost distribution with *just* the headers (and libraries, ultimately) needed to compile programs using boost? I'm guessing that all I'd need is the boost subdirectory (with the headers) plus whatever parts of the lib directory are created as part of the boost.build process. Is that right? Are there any more explicit instructions anywhere? Thanks, Paul.

BGL -- adjacency_matrix, graph concepts
by Raymond Wan 08 Oct '09

08 Oct '09

Hi all, I have a basic question about BGL, but I'm a bit too new with templating to understand some of the terms used in the documentation... :-( I'd like to build a graph using an adjacency matrix and the edge_iterator_constructor of the graph (or anything faster than repeated add_edge's). In the docs, I found this for adjacency_list: template <class EdgeIterator> adjacency_list(EdgeIterator first, EdgeIterator last, vertices_size_type n, edges_size_type m = 0, const GraphProperty& p = GraphProperty()) but the closest I found for adjacency_matrix is: template <typename EdgeIterator> adjacency_matrix(EdgeIterator first, EdgeIterator last, vertices_size_type n, const GraphProperty& p = GraphProperty()) It's not the same because of "typename"? As a toy example, I've taken the MST example and have modified it a lot to get this: ----- #include <boost/config.hpp> #include <boost/graph/adjacency_matrix.hpp> #include <boost/graph/graph_utility.hpp> #include <iostream> int main () { using namespace boost; typedef adjacency_matrix < undirectedS, no_property, property < edge_weight_t, int > > Graph; typedef graph_traits < Graph >::edge_descriptor Edge; typedef graph_traits < Graph >::vertex_descriptor Vertex; typedef std::pair<int, int> E; const int num_nodes = 5; E edges[] = { E(0, 2), E(1, 3), E(1, 4), E(2, 1), E(2, 3), E(3, 4), E(4, 0) }; int weights[] = { 1, 1, 2, 7, 3, 1, 1 }; std::size_t num_edges = sizeof(edges) / sizeof(E); Graph g1 (num_nodes); for (unsigned int i = 0; i < num_edges; i++) { add_edge (edges[i].first, edges[i].second, g1); } print_graph (g1); Graph g2 (num_nodes); // Graph g2 (edges, edges + num_edges, weights, num_nodes); print_graph (g2); return EXIT_SUCCESS; } ----- The 5th line from the end is what is causing me problems. It seemed to work with an adjacency_list. (I'd also would like to add weights, but I guess add_edge could support that...I just think that this way is faster based on the "Quick Tour of the BGL" page in the docs.) I looked in my examples directory [1.39] and simply grepped for "adjacency_matrix" and came up with only one file: adjacency_matrix.cpp . Other than the pros/cons of adjacency matrices and lists, is there something wrong with adjacency matrices; any reason for its absence in the examples directory? One final question -- in the documentation, it lists various graph concepts (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_40_0/libs/graph/doc/graph_concepts.html) such as BidirectionalGraph, VertexAndEdgeListGraph, AdjacencyMatrix, etc. Are these concepts relevant to BGL or only in a general sense? What I mean is what is their relationship with adjacency_list and adjacency_matrix? Any pointers would be appreciated... Thank you! Ray

[lambda][shared_ptr] Creating a shared_ptr with a custom delete function using a lambda expression
by Ryan McConnehey 08 Oct '09

08 Oct '09

I have a class that maintains a list of available numbers. The user will ask for a number and receive a shared_ptr with a value. Once the user is done with the number it will be put back on the list of available numbers. I'm trying to initialize the list with numbers and a custom delete function for the shared_ptr to be return to the list. Any help would be appropriated in how to get the lambda and custom delete function to work.

Setting QOS doesn't work?
by Dominique Lacerte 07 Oct '09

07 Oct '09

Hi, I have some QOS code in a product that is working fine. We're porting that code to using the socket support in ASIO and the QOS code doesn't seem to be working any longer. We're using WinXP under both environments and running our old code works fine but the new code has issues. Setting the TOS bits via: ::setsockopt(mSocket.native(), IPPROTO_IP, IP_TOS, (char *)(&uiTOS), sizeof(uiTOS)) Works fine, but setting the service type does not. We're making the following call: DWORD dwBytesReturned = 0; bool bSuccess = (SOCKET_ERROR != ::WSAIoctl( mSocket.native(), SIO_SET_QOS, (void *)reinterpret_cast<const BYTE *>(&tQOS), sizeof(tQOS), NULL, 0, &dwBytesReturned, NULL, NULL )); With values such as: SocketAddress bytes: 0200fc22c0a863670000000000000000 ===RX=== TokenRate: -1 TokenBucketSize: -1 PeakBandwidth: -1 Latency: -1 DelayVariation: -1 ServiceType: 6 MaxSduSize: -1 MinimumPolicedSize: -1 ===TX=== TokenRate: 4600 TokenBucketSize: -1 PeakBandwidth: -1 Latency: -1 DelayVariation: -1 ServiceType: 2 MaxSduSize: -1 MinimumPolicedSize: -1 And it returns success, but the DSCP bits in the packets are not being set. If we call SIO_GET_QOS afterwards we always get back the default: SocketAddress bytes: <NULL> ===RX=== TokenRate: -1 TokenBucketSize: -1 PeakBandwidth: -1 Latency: -1 DelayVariation: -1 ServiceType: 1 MaxSduSize: -1 MinimumPolicedSize: -1 ===TX=== TokenRate: -1 TokenBucketSize: -1 PeakBandwidth: -1 Latency: -1 DelayVariation: -1 ServiceType: 1 MaxSduSize: -1 MinimumPolicedSize: -1 Is there something different about the sockets implementation used by ASIO that prevents the WSAIoctl() call from working correctly?

[BGL] premature termination in dijkstra using visitor
by Ralf Goertz 07 Oct '09

07 Oct '09

Hi, I have some very large undirected graphs (half a million vertices). Edges have weight 0 or 1. For each vertex I need to find all vertices * that are in sum 2 edges away * whose distance is 0 Both tasks can be done with breadth-first searches but I don't know in advance how many edges in depth I have to traverse. That's why I thought of Dijkstra's algorithm. But in my case this is overkill as I am not interested in the exact distance of a vertex from a given vertex but only in if it is not farther than 0 or 2 away. Is it possible to use a visitor to alter the colormap to mark vertices as final that are too far even thought they are not final yet? Ralf

[proto] Question on grammar and operator overloading
by Hal Finkel 06 Oct '09

06 Oct '09

Hello, I'm writing a complex number class using boost::proto by extending proto::terminal< boost::array<_, 2> >. I've attached a copy of my current code, which compiles, runs, and (at least with both g++ and icc on my machine) demonstrates a significant speed improvement compared to std::complex. However, there is (at least) one thing which don't work as it should: In the grammar I have to specify lazy_complex< double > instead of lazy_complex< _ >, otherwise the compiler cannot find proto's operator overloads, why? Note: This code will not compile under 1.37, but will compile under 1.40, because of some issue in 1.37 which manifests itself as a problem with the overloading of the '<<' operator. I've not tested the releases in between 1.37 and 1.40. General suggestions are also welcome. I'd like to get this cleaned up for general redistribution. Thank you in advance, Hal

Newbie: Boost Graph example request
by Brian Troutwine 06 Oct '09

06 Oct '09

Hello all. I'm new to using the Boost Graph library and am bewildered by its (seemingly essential) complexity. A solution to the simplistic problem I pose below would help provide a workable context around which to wrap my brain and would be most appreciated. -- Let G be the undirected graph given by the following adjacency list: 0 -> 2, 3 1 -> 2, 4 2 -> 3, 4 3 -> 1 4 -> 3 5 -> 0 6 -> 7 7 -> 8, 9 9 -> 10 Using, say, a breadth first search, for any two random nodes in the graph print the shortest path between them. For example, the shortest path between 5 and 3 is: 5 -> 0 -> 3 My apologies if a similar question has been asked before. A search through the mailing list archive did not return promising results. Also, I have, incidentally, ordered The Boost Graph Library text and am very much looking forward to its arrival. Thank you. Brian Troutwine

modify_key() for a composite_key of a multi_index_container that contains a shared_ptr
by Zsolt Vajna 04 Oct '09

04 Oct '09

I'd like to modify_key() for a composite_key of a multi_index_container that contains a shared_ptr. I found a thread in this mailing list dealing with a similar kind of situation, not totally the same though: "[Boost-users] [multi_index] modify problem with composite_key" My example: This compiles fine: struct entry { entry(int a, int b):m_x(a), m_y(b){} int m_x; int m_y; }; typedef multi_index_container< entry, indexed_by< ordered_unique< composite_key< entry, member<entry,int,&entry::m_x>, member<entry,int,&entry::m_y>>>>> C; void updateX(C::iterator iter,int x, C& m_c) { m_c.get<0>().modify( iter, (&ll::_1)->*&entry::m_x=x); } My first problem is if I change modify to modify_key I get the following error: operator_lambda_func_base.hpp(237) : error C3892: 'boost::lambda::detail::select' : you cannot assign to a variable that is const My second problem is that instead of typedef multi_index_container< entry, indexed_by< ordered_unique< composite_key< entry, member<entry,int,&entry::m_x>, member<entry,int,&entry::m_y>>>>> C; i want to have a typedef multi_index_container< shared_ptr<entry>, indexed_by< ordered_unique< composite_key< entry, member<entry,int,&entry::m_x>, member<entry,int,&entry::m_y>>>>> C; Note the shared_ptr added.

[Asio] when stopping io_service, I get a system_error : mutex: invalid argument
by philipp_muenzel＠web.de 03 Oct '09

03 Oct '09

Hello, I'm using asio for a udp receiver. I used the example code from http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_40_0/doc/html/boost_asio/example/multicast/… and created a class that in its contructor opens a socket, binds to it, calls async_receive_from, and in the receive handler again calls async_receive from. Now i have manager class that takes care of the io service, the thread, and an instance of the receiver class. Everything works fine until the moment I destroy the manager class. Here is what the destructor looks like: Manager::~Manager { // first, make sure that no further requests are handled that would prevent io_service from quitting m_receiver->getSock()->shutdown(boost::asio::ip::udp::socket::shutdown_both); m_receiver->getSock()->close(); // destroy the receiver by resetting its auto_ptr m_receiver.reset(); // reset the work auto_ptr, destroying the work for io_service, so that it can quit m_io_work.reset(0); // join the thread in which io_service.run() was called. m_receiver_thread.join(); // now stop the io // this line is commented, it has no effect whether i remove the slashes // m_io_service.stop(); } When I destroy the manager, i get the following error: "terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost::exception_detail::clone_impl<boost::exception::detail::error_info_injector<boost::system::system_error> > ' what(): mutex: Invalid argument" It seems similar to the problem that was discussed here: http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2008/03/134169.php But I'm pretty sure that given I destroy the instance that holds the socket first, the io_service has no work left. I tried catching the exception within the destructor and within the run() of the thread, but no luck. I cannot find the place where the exception is thrown, nor do I have an idea what else to do to ensure the io_service has no work left. Any help on fixing this is greatly appreciated.

[Process (Vault)] child::wait error on OS X 10.6

03 Oct '09

I am using the version of the Process library that was announced by Boris Schaeling in this document: http://www.highscore.de/cpp/process/ I used the link in the introduction to get the zip file, so I think I have the correct version. I am running the following test function: namespace bp = boost::process; namespace bios = boost::iostreams; int BoostProcessTest (void) { std::cout << "\nTesting launch of child process using Boost.Process\n"; std::string exec = bp::find_executable_in_path("svn"); std::vector<std::string> args; args.push_back("svn"); args.push_back("info"); // context bp::context ctx; // child launch bp::child c = bp::launch(exec, args, ctx); // sleep(1); //wait const bp::status s = c.wait(); // parse status if (s.exited() && s.exit_status() == EXIT_SUCCESS) std::cout << "Directory is a working copy." << std::endl; else std::cout << "Directory is not a working copy." << std::endl; std::cout << std::endl; return 0; } I call this function in a loop for as long as it returns 0, which should be forever. The test is run in a directory that is NOT a svn working copy, so all that the child process does is to write a line to stderr and exit. What I'm seeing, however is this message: Error: Caught an exception! boost::process::child::wait: waitpid(2) failed: Interrupted system call The only way I have found to make that go away is by adding the sleep (1) call (commented out above). Then it runs forever. I'm hoping Boris will read this and have some idea of what's happening. My google searches haven't turned up much of value. - Rush

Can't compile some boost code on Solaris
by Roger House 02 Oct '09

02 Oct '09

I'm attempting to build a quite large app on Solaris (which I know next to nothing about), and I'm getting compilation errors in a couple of boost files, seemingly related to stlport. The error message "exception is not a member of stlp_std" is issued for line 29 of archive_exception.hpp: class archive_exception : public virtual std::exception The same message (plus others which I think are spurious) is issued for line 55 of throw_exception.hpp: inline void throw_exception_assert_compatibility( std::exception const & ) { } All this code compiles okay with gcc on Linux and with cl on Windows, so I think it is specifically a Sun issue. A Google search led to some discussions on the boost site, but I could not determine from them what the fix is. The Sun compiler I'm using is version 5.9.0, and the boost version is 1.39.0. Any help on this will be greatly appreciated. Roger House Software Developer

How to use the shared region in append mode
by manish4gupta 02 Oct '09

02 Oct '09

First of all i would like to thank for previous answers. Now i am able to use the shared region to create a map, insert value into shared map and use the shared map. Now moving one step ahead. I am planning to use the shared region in append mode. For instance 1. create shared region if it is not used before // how to check this ? managed_shared_memory segment(create_only,MySharedMemory, 999999999); 2. create map in the region // done 3. open the map and use the map for retrieving and inserting values //done How i can that the given region already allocated to map so that i can insert the value in it otherwise i can create the that region and create tha map and insert the value in the map. Thanks in advance. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-to-use-the-shared-region-in-append-mode-tp2567740… Sent from the Boost - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[function/bind] function object type introspection
by Gennadiy Rozental 02 Oct '09

02 Oct '09

Hi, I've got couple questions. Might be someone can point me in right direction. Let's say I've got this class ConcreteFunctor which should handle all kinds of functions. I want to store the function as boost::function object, thus the class has template parameter - FunctionType: template<typename FuncType> ConcreteFunctor : public AbstractFunctor { ConcreteFunctor( FuncType f ) ... {} virtual invoke( std::vector<Object*> const& args ) { // here I can use FuncType::arity and FuncType's argument types // to properly convert arguments to desired types and invoke m_f } FuncType m_f; } Now I need to implement object maker template<typename F> boost::shared_ptr<AnstractFunctor> make_functor( F f ) { typedef boost::function<???> TypeName; return boost::shared_ptr<AbstrctFunctor>( new ConcreteFunctor<FuncType>( f ) ); } I was able to work fine with free functions by just removing pointer from F. Now to the questions: 1. How do I deduce boost::function type from pointer to member functions: Essentially if F is R (A::*)(T1,T2) I need to get boost::function<T (A*,T1,T2)> 2. This is more difficult: if f is bound object, how to I intrspect it's type: Essentially in use case like this: int foo( std::string, int ) {...} make_functor( boost::bind( &foo, "abc" ) ) I want to get FuncType as boost::function<int (int)> Regards, Gennadiy

[asio] async connect vs sync connect
by Mathieu Peyréga 02 Oct '09

02 Oct '09

Hello, I have a TCP client program using boost 1.40 asio framework and a question. I have an external LAN hosted TCP server ready to accept connexions (functionnal and tested with other means) On my client side, when using the async connect function, it sometimes take up to 2-3 seconds before the connexion handler is called. If I use the synchronous connect function, it is almost immediate. Is there a way to speed up the connexion time, while using the async method ? Regards, Mathieu

I have used a deadline_timer to generate a polling every 1 second. Unfortunely when I use the linux date command the timing is curupted. (If I set the clock back 1 min. I will be missing 60 pollings). What can I do about that? -Bjarne

[BoostCon 2010] Call for Participation
by Hartmut Kaiser 02 Oct '09

02 Oct '09

Please distribute! -------------------------------- 4th Annual Boost Conference 2010 -------------------------------- Aspen CO, USA, May 4-10, 2010, www.boostcon.com Call for participation ---------------------- We invite you to submit session proposals to the 4th Annual Boost Conference: BoostCon 2010 (Aspen CO, USA, May 10-14, 2010). Traditionally the main face-to-face event for all things Boost (www.boost.org) BoostCon 2010 will present leading speakers from the whole C++ community. From using the Boost libraries to writing and maintaining them, from evangelizing to deploying Boost within your organization, from infrastructure and process to vision and mission, and the new C++ Standard, BoostCon brings together the sessions, the colleagues, and the inspiration to support your work with C++ and Boost in particular for the next year. To reflect the breadth of the Boost community, the conference includes sessions aimed at two constituencies: Boost end-users and hard-core Boost library and tool developers. The program fosters interaction and engagement within and across those two groups, with an emphasis on hands-on, participatory sessions. Session topics -------------- Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to, the following: * General tutorial sessions introducing one or more Boost libraries * In-depth sessions on using specific Boost libraries * Case studies on using Boost * Experts panels * Advanced sessions on implementation techniques used within Boost libraries * C++0x and how it will change life for users and library writers * Development workshops to extend or enhance existing Boost libraries * Workshops on design process * Infrastructure workshops such as Build tools, Website, Testing * Concepts and Generic Programming * Hardware and infrastructure presentations focused on how libraries can make better use of the technology * Other topics likely to be of great interest to Boost users and developers Interactive and collaborative sessions are encouraged, as this is the nature of both the on-line Boost community and the style of learning and participation that has proven most successful at such events. Sessions can be tutorial based, with an emphasis on interaction and participant involvement, or workshop based, whether hands-on programming or paper-based, discussion-driven collaborative work. Session formats --------------- Presentations Presentations focus on a practitioner's ideas and experience with anything relevant to Boost and Boost users. Panels Panels feature three or four people presenting their ideas and experiences relating to Boost's relevant, controversial, emerging, or unresolved issues. Panels may be conducted in several ways, such as comparative, analytic, or historic. Tutorials Tutorials are sessions at which instructors teach conference participants specific Boost-relevant skills. Workshops Workshops provide an active arena for advancements in Boost- relevant topics. Workshops provide the opportunity for experienced practitioners to develop new ideas about a topic of common interest and experience. Author's Corner Presentations These were introduced at BoostCon 2008, and were a great success. They are short (30 minute) sessions, focusing on tips on usage and design. In addition, we're looking to uncover the hidden design gems in Boost libraries. Tool Vendors Presentations We actively encourage tool vendors and ISP's to submit proposals for a special Tool Vendors Session Track aimed at products related to Boost and C++ (compilers, libraries, tools, etc.). Other formats may also be of interest. Don't hold back a proposal just because it doesn't fit into a pigeonhole. Submitting a proposal --------------------- Standard Sessions are 90 minutes. You may submit a proposal for fractions or multiples of 90-minutes. Fractional proposals will be grouped into 90 minute sessions covering related topics. Longer sessions, such as tutorials and classes, will be assigned 90 minute, three hour (i.e. half day), or six hour (i.e. full day) time slots. Please include: * The working title. * Type of session: presentation, panel, tutorial, workshop, authors corner, vendor track, other. * A paragraph or two describing the topic covered, suitable for the conference web site. * Proposed length: 10-20 minute short talks, 45 minutes, 90 minutes, half day, full day. * Alternate lengths, if you are willing to make adjustments: 10-20 minute short-talks, 45 minutes, 90 minutes, half-day, full day. * Audience: users, developers, both. * Level: basic, intermediate, advanced. * A biography, suitable for the conference web site. * Your contact information (will not be made public). Submission details ------------------ All submissions have to be done through the EasyChair conference management system: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=boostcon10. If you have not already registered at EasyChair, you will need to do so in order to submit your proposal. All submissions will go through a peer review process. Authors are invited (but are not required) to submit PDF versions of full papers of up to 10 pages in ACM conference proceedings format (see http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) The full papers are not required unless you want them published in the proceedings. All accepted proposals will be made available in the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Digital Library (approval pending). Best papers, after further reviews, will be considered to be book chapters or journal articles in a renowned journal. The session materials go on the BoostCon website and will be available to attendees. For general information on the BoostCon 2010 paper submission or the scope of technical papers solicited, please refer to the conference website at www.boostcon.com. For any other questions about the submission process or paper format, please contact the Program Committee at boostcon10(a)easychair.com. If you have any technical problems with EasyChair, please contact EasyChair for help.

[xpressive] Calling a function with captured text as a parameter from a rule action
by Ami Ganguli 01 Oct '09

01 Oct '09

Hi all, I've been trying to wrap my head around xpressive. I've got a rule that captures some text, calls a function as part of the action. The function call works, but as soon as I try to pass my captured text as a parameter to the function, I run into a rather long and incomprehensible compilation error. Are there working examples somewhere that do this? (There are examples on calling functions and examples on using captured text in the docs, but nothing that does both) Here's the important bits of my code: My function object: struct append_element_impl { typedef void result_type; void operator()(std::string& text) const { std::cout << "appending " << text; } }; function<append_element_impl>::type const append_element = {{}}; The part of the parser that calls the function: h1 = "=" >> +blank >> * (s1= ~_ln) >> eol [append_element(as<std::string>(s1))]; I've tried various variations on this (the "as<std::string>" is a recent addition, and doesn't seem to make much difference). If I get rid of the s1 parameter in both the function and the call, then everything works as expected. The last part of the error message (the part that I sort of understand) is: /usr/local/include/boost/proto/context/default.hpp:357: error: no match for call to ‘(const append_element_impl(std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >)’ /home/ganguli/acms/plug-ins/wikitext/wikitext.C:27: note: candidates are: void append_element_impl::operator((std::string&) const /usr/local/include/boost/proto/context/default.hpp:357: error: return-statement with a value, in function returning 'void' I'd really appreciate any pointers on this, or just some examples on how to do something similar. Cheers, Ami.

[interprocess] problem in HPUX
by Rui Pedro Fernandes 01 Oct '09

01 Oct '09

Hi, I've been trying boost.interprocess v. 1.40 in a HP-UX 11.23 IA64 machine. Firstly I tried a 64 bit compilation of the interprocess test with aCC compiler (v. A.06.15). It failed with error: "No atomic operations implemented for this platform, sorry!". Then I used gcc 4.1.2 and compilation did succeed. Many tests got passed, however some failed with "boost::interprocess_exception::library_error". Here is an output example of both cases: >>>>>> gcc.compile.c++ ../../../bin.v2/libs/interprocess/test/named_construct_test.test/gcc-4.1.2/debug/threading-multi/named_construct_test.o "g++" -ftemplate-depth-128 -O0 -fno-inline -Wall -g -pthread -fPIC -mlp64 -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1 -DBOOST_THREAD_POSIX -DBOOST_THREAD_USE_DLL=1 -I"../../.." -c -o "../../../bin.v2/libs/interprocess/test/named_construct_test.test/gcc-4.1.2/debug/threading-multi/named_construct_test.o" "named_construct_test.cpp" gcc.link ../../../bin.v2/libs/interprocess/test/named_construct_test.test/gcc-4.1.2/debug/threading-multi/named_construct_test "g++" -o "../../../bin.v2/libs/interprocess/test/named_construct_test.test/gcc-4.1.2/debug/threading-multi/named_construct_test" "../../../bin.v2/libs/interprocess/test/named_construct_test.test/gcc-4.1.2/debug/threading-multi/named_construct_test.o" "../../../bin.v2/libs/thread/build/gcc-4.1.2/debug/threading-multi/libboost_thread-gcc41-mt-d-1_40.so.1.40.0" -lrt -g -fPIC -pthread -mlp64 testing.capture-output ../../../bin.v2/libs/interprocess/test/named_construct_test.test/gcc-4.1.2/debug/threading-multi/named_construct_test.run LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/lib32:/usr/local/lib64:/usr/users/genesys/src/boost_1_40_0/bin.v2/libs/thread/build/gcc-4.1.2/debug/threading-multi:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" export LD_LIBRARY_PATH "../../../bin.v2/libs/interprocess/test/named_construct_test.test/gcc-4.1.2/debug/threading-multi/named_construct_test" > "../../../bin.v2/libs/interprocess/test/named_construct_test.test/gcc-4.1.2/debug/threading-multi/named_construct_test.output" 2>&1 status=$?

Reference count in shared_ptr
by Daniele Barzotti 01 Oct '09

01 Oct '09

Hi, I've a doubt about shared_ptr... Suppose to have something like this: template class Interface {..pure virtual..} template class Impl1 : public Interface {....} template class Impl2 : public Interface {....} class A { public: Interface* GetObjPtr() { return &obj; } private: Impl2 obj; }; class B { ~B() { delete a_ptr; } B() { a_ptr = new A; Int_ptr.reset( a_ptr->GetObjPtr ); } private: A* a_ptr; shared_ptr< Interface > Int_ptr; }; Where B creates and use A on its internal. In this case, is 'delete' called twice for Impl2? (When A is destroyed and when B, and its shared_ptr, is destroyed). Thanks, Daniele.

[serialization] Support for boost classes
by Chard 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

Is there a particular reason why the serialization library does not provide serialization functions for types in other boost libraries? Unless I've missed them, but I find I've had to provide implementations for, e.g.: boost::filesystem::path - trivial. boost::multi_array - also seems straightforward, unless I'm missing something there. They don't require invasive techniques, so is it that it's being left up to the particular library owners to decide whether or not to support serialization? If it's an efficiency argument, e.g. one size doesn't fit all, I don't see why 'an' implementation could not be provided (perhaps in /serialization/boost/xyz.hpp). After all, no one would be forced to include/use that particular implementation.

Using Boost.asio with IGMPv3
by Steve T 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

Greetings, I am currently using Boost.asio to send and receive UDP multicast messages. I now have the requirement that all UDP messages use IGMPv3. Is IGMPv3 supported using the Boost.asio library? If not, how can I implement IGMPv3 in Boost.asio? It seems that adding IGMPv3 could be implemented by adding the IP_ADD_SOURCE_MEMBERSHIP option. What would be the best method for adding the socket option IP_ADD_SOURCE_MEMBERSHIP? Thanks in advance, Steve

[Boost.MPL]is it possible to generate types with all combinations of template arguments?
by Tan, Tom (Shanghai) 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

I have a templated class template<class U, class V, class W> class S { //... implementations }; and some stock type implementations for type U, V and W: typedef boost::mpl::vector<U0, U1> u_types; typedef boost::mpl::vector<V0, V1, V2, V3, V4> u_types; typedef boost::mpl::vector<W0, W1, W2, W3, W4> w_types; I want to test class S with all possible combinations of the template arguments, typedef boost::mpl::vector< S<U0,V0,W0>, S<U0,V0,W1>, // ... S<U1,V4,W4>, > s_types; like this: boost::mpl::for_each<s_types>(test_func). The only problem is there are 2*5*5 = 50 combinations that I do not wish to type in one by one. Is there a way to generate all the combinations with boost::mpl or Boost.Preprocessor? thanks.

Fix for intrusive on Sun CC
by Chris Hite 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

I'm not sure if it fixes everything, but I was able debug some of the meta-programming and find a discrepancy between gcc and Sun CC which causes normal usage to break. http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_39_0/boost/intrusive/detail/utilities.hpp template <class T> struct internal_base_hook_bool { template<bool Add> struct two_or_three {one _[2 + Add];}; template <class U> static one test(...); template <class U> static two_or_three<U::boost_intrusive_tags::is_base_hook> test (detail::bool_<U::boost_intrusive_tags::is_base_hook>* = 0); static const std::size_t value = sizeof(test<T>(0)); }; On gcc it does what it's suppose to; value = 1 - iff T has no boost_intrusive_tags::is_base_hook 2 - iff T::boost_intrusive_tags::is_base_hook=false 3 - iff T::boost_intrusive_tags::is_base_hook=true On Sun CC it's always 1. So this is a usage of SFINAE which doesn't seem to work on SunCC, but other examples do work just fine: class_has_move_assign here: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_38_0/boost/unordered/detail/move.hpp Note how they use a second test(int) function. This works on Sun CC! 1) I've never submitted a change. Will someone else take this over or do I need to dive in and submit changes to the repository? Do I need to talk this library's owner first? 2) Is this a definite CC compiler bug?

[mpl] Can we generate this type in a simpler way?
by vicente.botet 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

Hi, I want to generate the following type R1::mth1_<T1, R3::mth1_<T3, C::mth1_> > > from mpl::vector<mpl::pair<R1, T1>, mpl::pair<R3, T3>, C and mth1_? I have started with this template <typename SequenceOfPairs, typename E, ??? MTH> struct generator { typedef ??? type; }; but I don't know what MTH'can be, because we have 3 different mth1_. So I have reached to make a specific mth1_generator (for the specific symbol 'mth1_') template <typename SequenceOfPairs, typename E> struct mth1_generator { typedef ??? type; // The details of the type are ommited using 'mth1' }; satisfying mth1_generate<mpl::vector<mpl::pair<R1, T1>, mpl::pair<R3, T3>, C>::type is equal to R1::mth1_<T1, R3::mth1_<T3, C::mth1_> > > ? As aal the mthX_generator follow the same structure, I have defined a macro DEFINE_GENERATOR which will define the specific generator for a symbol MTH #define DEFINE_GENERATOR(MTH) \ template <typename SequenceOfPairs, typename E> struct MTH##_generator { typedef ??? type; // The details of the type are ommited suing now MTH. } So the user will just have to do DEFINE_GENERATOR(mth1); Can I do it in a simpler way using some kind of traits or this is an inherent preprocessor problem?

atomic_inc32 for fast integers
by Archie14 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

This boost::interprocess::detail function atomically increments fixed width integer returning old value. Questions: 1. Is there a version that uses fast integers defined in cstdint.hpp? 2. I don't think that it is safe to cast fixed width ints to fast ints. I did not find conversion functions/classes. Do they exists?

[Proto] Forwarding evaluation via tag
by Joel Falcou 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

I have the following grammar that handles the evaluation of various matrix classes: struct eval_xpr : bp::or_< bp::when< bp::terminal< block<bp::_,bp::_> > , _load(bp::_) > , bp::when< bp::plus< eval_xpr,eval_xpr > , bp::call< functor<bp::tag::plus>(eval_xpr(bp::_left ), eval_xpr(bp::_right) ) > > > {}; As you can see, the functor<T> class is a Callable object but not a primitive Transform so I use call to be able to forward the proper things to it. Currently I only play with + but I wanted to know how i can use proto::tag_of and a clever way to conserve the recursive look so it works for any operator of any tag. Basically what should I do to have : bp::when< bp::nary_expr< bp::_, bp::vararg< eval_xpr > > , bp::call< functor< ???? >( eval_xpr(????), ???, ??? ) > > to work for any tag and any number of parameters while typiong the less code possible. I *think* I should make a new Primitive Transform that extarct tags and arguments from bp::_expr and then perform the call to functor but doesn't this mean I have to explicitly write the code for 1,2,3 etc arguments ?

In the Boost.Assign documentation, the following example of list_of() is given: const list<int> primes = list_of(2)(3)(5)(7)(11); However, I have tended to write this instead: const list<int> primes(list_of(2)(3)(5)(7)(11)); This is causing problems with the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Beta 1 compiler. Using Visual C++ 2008, both lines compile fine but with 2010 Beta 1, the second produces the following error: error C2668: 'std::list<_Ty>::list' : ambiguous call to overloaded function with [_Ty=int] could be 'std::list<_Ty>::list(std::list<_Ty> &&)' with [_Ty=int] or 'std::list<_Ty>::list(unsigned int)' with [_Ty=int] while trying to match the argument list '(boost::assign_detail::generic_list<T>)' with [T=int] Is this: a) My fault? Should I be using copy initialization rather than direct initialization? b) A problem with the 2010 beta compiler? or c) A problem with Boost.Assign? Thanks

[Boost Statechart] Execute Function
by Georg Gast 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

Hi, i try to build a easy statechart to learn and understand how to use boost::statechart. All i used until today was "homemade" statemachines. At some states i need a "Execute" function. In the FAQ i read, that therefore i should use a a thread and send there an event to the statemachine and process this event. So i wrote a timerclass which uses a thread to process an event via signals2. <code> ----------- timeout.h #ifndef __timeout_h__ #define __timeout_h__ #include <boost/thread.hpp> #include <boost/signals2.hpp> #include <boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time.hpp> class Timeout { public: typedef boost::signals2::signal<void ()> signal_t; Timeout() : mp_thread(0) { lock lk(m_monitor); } ~Timeout() { lock lk(m_monitor); Terminate(); } boost::signals2::connection connect(const signal_t::slot_type &subscriber) { lock lk(m_monitor); return m_sig.connect(subscriber); } void Start(boost::posix_time::time_duration delta_time, bool repeat = false) { lock lk(m_monitor); if (mp_thread) { Terminate(); } m_repeat = repeat; m_delta_time = delta_time; mp_thread = new boost::thread( boost::bind( &Timeout::Execute, this)); } void Stop() { lock lk(m_monitor); if (mp_thread) { Terminate(); } } private: typedef boost::mutex::scoped_lock lock; void Execute() { try { do { boost::this_thread::sleep(m_delta_time); { lock lk(m_monitor); m_sig(); } } while (m_repeat); } catch(boost::thread_exception& /* e */) { // we got interrupted } } void Terminate() { if (mp_thread) { mp_thread->interrupt(); delete mp_thread; mp_thread = 0; } } signal_t m_sig; boost::thread* mp_thread; boost::mutex m_monitor; boost::posix_time::time_duration m_delta_time; bool m_repeat; }; ----------- main.cpp // SimpleBoostSCProblem // main.cpp #include "Timeout.h" #include <boost/statechart/event.hpp> #include <boost/statechart/transition.hpp> #include <boost/statechart/custom_reaction.hpp> #include <boost/statechart/state_machine.hpp> #include <boost/statechart/simple_state.hpp> #include <boost/statechart/state.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/list.hpp> namespace MyTest { namespace sc = boost::statechart; namespace mpl = boost::mpl; // Our objects struct Obj1 {}; // -------------------------------------------------- // Events // -------------------------------------------------- struct EvWork : sc::event< EvWork > {}; struct EvExit : sc::event< EvExit > {}; // -------------------------------------------------- // Forward deklaration of states // -------------------------------------------------- struct Active; struct DoStuff1; struct DoStuff2; struct Exit; // -------------------------------------------------- // Statemachine // -------------------------------------------------- struct TestMachine : sc::state_machine< TestMachine, Active > { TestMachine() { } ~TestMachine() { } }; // -------------------------------------------------- // States // -------------------------------------------------- // TestMachine / Active struct Active : sc::state<Active, TestMachine, mpl::list< DoStuff1 > > { typedef mpl::list< sc::transition< EvExit , Exit > > reactions; Active(my_context ctx) : my_base(ctx) { m_worker_connection = m_worker.connect(boost::bind(&Active::ProcessEvent<EvWork>, this)); } ~Active() { m_worker.Stop(); m_worker_connection.disconnect(); } template<typename ev> void ProcessEvent() { outermost_context().process_event(ev()); } Timeout m_worker; private: boost::signals2::connection m_worker_connection; }; // TestMachine / Active / DoStuff1 struct DoStuff1 : sc::state<DoStuff1, Active > { typedef mpl::list< sc::transition< EvWork, DoStuff2 > > reactions; DoStuff1(my_context ctx) : my_base(ctx) { // start work timeout : Repeat every 10 ms context< Active >().m_worker.Start(boost::posix_time::milliseconds(100)); } ~DoStuff1() { } }; // TestMachine / Active / DoStuff2 struct DoStuff2 : sc::state<DoStuff2, Active > { typedef mpl::list< sc::custom_reaction< EvWork > > reactions; DoStuff2(my_context ctx) : my_base(ctx) { // start work timeout : Repeat every 10 ms context< Active >().m_worker.Start(boost::posix_time::milliseconds(1),true); } ~DoStuff2() { } sc::result react( const EvWork & ) { // do stuff // .. // Nothing more to do with this event return discard_event(); } }; // TestMachine / Exit struct Exit : sc::state<Exit, TestMachine > { Exit(my_context ctx) : my_base(ctx) { } ~Exit() { } }; }; int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { MyTest::TestMachine machine; machine.initiate(); boost::this_thread::sleep(boost::posix_time::seconds(10)); machine.process_event(MyTest::EvExit()); return 0; } </code> It the statemachine exits, i get constantly crashes in the process_event<EvWork>() function, because the statemachine itself got destructed and outermost_context() is no more vaild, but the state which holds my timeout object (and the thread) did not yet got destructed and therefore the thread stopped. I dont have an idea to solve that problem. There is an assertion: "get_pointer( pOutermostUnstableState_ )==0" in state_machine.hpp. It does only happen if there was a transition from one state (DoStuff1) to DoState2. Thanks in advance!

I am using lambda expression under Dev-C++ for scientific computing. And the program run well. But the time consumed by the program is too much for data execution. I think this may be happened by the complier of Dev-C++(for compatibility). I am using C++ builder2009 for RAD. And this is said not suooprt Lambda expression. My computer is too limited for Visual C++ studio being installed ,which is supposed to support lambda expression. Can anyone with kindness tell me which complier can be used for lambda expression?

request for help re: brandes_betweenness_centrality for weighted graph
by allenem＠pcbi.upenn.edu 29 Sep '09

29 Sep '09

Hi- I've just recently started to use the BGL and was wondering if someone could provide an example (and/or just let me know where I am going wrong) in trying to execute the brandes_betweenness_centrality algorithm for a weighted graph. Below are the relevant code snippets from my program. I am able to compile and run the code, and have successfully iterated over all elements (vertices, edges, and "interaction_weights" to verify that the data are stored correctly) but the calculated betweenness values are the same whether or not I use the edge weight map, which suggests that they are not being considered in the calculation even when passed as a parameter to the brandes_betweenness_centrality function. What am I missing? Thank you, Emily #include <boost/graph/graph_traits.hpp> // iterator functions #include <boost/graph/adjacency_list.hpp> #include <boost/graph/betweenness_centrality.hpp> #include <map> #include <vector> using namespace std; using namespace boost; struct order_edges { template <typename T> bool operator() (const T& x, const T& y) const { return x.get_property() < y.get_property(); } }; /* ============================================================= Main ============================================================ */ int main(int argc, char **argv) { // Define the Graph typedef property < vertex_centrality_t, double > CentralityMap; typedef adjacency_list<vecS, vecS, bidirectionalS, CentralityMap> Graph; typedef graph_traits<Graph>::vertex_descriptor Vertex; typedef graph_traits<Graph>::edge_descriptor Edge; typedef map<Edge, double, order_edges> edge_weight_map_t; edge_weight_map_t base_map; associative_property_map<edge_weight_map_t> interaction_weight(base_map); Graph g; // instance of the graph // determine vertices based upon input from a file // add edges and assign values to associated interaction weights from a file .... brandes_betweenness_centrality(g, get(vertex_centrality,g), interaction_weight); }

[statechart] Passing parameters to state objects
by Robert Dailey 29 Sep '09

29 Sep '09

Hello, I was thinking of using Boost.Statechart as a state machine to manage widget states in my wxWidgets application. Depending on what menu options the user picks in my program, certain buttons on the main window will be enabled or disabled. I figured this would be a good opportunity to use Boost's state machine system. I would create states that would enable or disable certain buttons depending on what events I publish. For example, when the user chooses the "Edit Name" menu item, then buttons for editing a name would be enabled. This means I'd publish a EditNameEnabled event, or something, and then the EditNameMode state would become active, and its constructor would enable certain buttons. Of course, this means I'll need to be able to pass construction parameters to certain fsm state objects, and in the Statechart tutorial they only use default constructors. I'm not sure how I'd pass button object pointers to these state classes so they can work with them. I have two questions: First, does Boost.Statechart seem like the right tool for this job? If yes, then how can I pass parameters to state object constructors? Would I pass the parameters to the Event's constructor, and then somehow access that event instance from the state's constructor? Thanks in advance. --------- Robert Dailey

Use of ccache with Boost
by Dalton, Tom 29 Sep '09

29 Sep '09

Hi, I'm using Boost on Linux however for various reasons I need to rebuild parts of it occasionally. For other C/C++-based tools that are built with autoconf/automake, I've started to use ccache (http://ccache.samba.org/) to speed up recompilation. This is done simply by setting the CC / CXX environment variables to "ccache gcc" / "ccache g++" respectively. I have had a look through the Jam documentation but I can't see an easy way to achieve the same thing when building the Boost distribution. The closest I came was a bit on the trac that simply said I can add a new toolset, but had no real instructions as to how. Thanks for any help! Tom Dalton

[MultiArray] How to create / handle a collection of multi-array with varying dimensions?
by Oliver Fochler 28 Sep '09

28 Sep '09

Hi, I'm trying to write some dimension independent routine that makes use of Boost.MultiArray containers. The thing is that I would need several such MultiArrays within this routine with the number of MultiArrays depending on the overall number of dimensions. And here is where it becomes complicated (at least for me). Let N be the overall number of dimensions the routine works with. Then I would a collection of N MultiArrays - but not with fixed dimensions but rather with varying (internal) dimension. That is, a collection like this: boost::multi_array<int, N> A boost::multi_array<int, N-1> B boost::multi_array<int, N-2> C ... However, since N may vary when the routine is called I cannot hardcode the array as above. I was thinking of a vector of multi_array or something like that. But then I don't know how to treat the second template parameter in defining the type of the vector (array, ...). Is there a simple and efficient way to do this? Cheers, Oliver

I want a template class that stores a std::set<T> and i want to be able to add/remove elements while using iterators at the same time without conflicts. I would like to avoid making copies of the entire set each time i want to iterate over the elements. I have tried to use shared_ptr.unique() to decide when to create a new copy of the set but i have been unsuccessful since shared_ptr.use_count() stays at the value 1. I am doing something wrong. I have tried to use something like this as my add function: mutable boost::mutex _mutex; typedef std::set<T> Set; typedef boost::shared_ptr<Set> SetPtr; void add(T element) { boost::unique_lock<boost::mutex> lock(_mutex); if (!(_mySet.unique() || _mySet == 0)) { Set* tmp = _mySet.get(); _mySet = SetPtr(new Set(*tmp)); } _mySet->insert(element); } My thought was that each time an iterator accesses the set the count would increase. Could i make it so (should i)? Any other ideas about a thread safe implementation of a set of elements? I hope someone can help me. Thanks.

[Asio] problem with deadline_timer
by moffet 28 Sep '09

28 Sep '09

This is a small program using deadline_timer with expiration time 1 millisecond. http://snipt.org/nKm When I run it over and over it will evantually stuck lie this: http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/1292/handh.jpg and I don't know why. The io_service.run() is started in another thread. The main thread is waiting for pressing 'any key', the I call post() method to cancel() the timer. But sometimes as you can see on the screenshot, cancel() is invoked, but the timer continues to run. It seems that run() method doesn't invoke the timer handler with boost::asio::error::operation_aborted error. I've noticed this effect will be encouraged by high CPU usage. Vista 64bit, VC++ 2008 Express, Boost 1.40.0 Why this is happening?

Asio uses select instead of kqueue by default on FreeBSD?
by Lych 28 Sep '09

28 Sep '09

Hi, It seems so in v1.39 and 1.40, without the macro BOOST_ASIO_DISABLE_KQUEUE defined. I've found it's due to a line in the file [boost/trunk/boost/asio/detail/kqueue_reactor_fwd.hpp]: ------------------------------------------------------------- #if defined(__MACH__) && defined(__APPLE__) // Define this to indicate that epoll is supported on the target platform. #define BOOST_ASIO_HAS_KQUEUE 1 ------------------------------------------------------------- That only checks whether it is a MacOS system to enable kqueue, but doesn't care any of FreeBSD. One said it's because some issues are not yet fixed on use of kqueue on FreeBSD, but this seems to exist for quite long. Is there any more information? Thanks

[fusion] problem with make_map
by Jean-Louis Leroy 28 Sep '09

28 Sep '09

I'm trying the make_map example from the doc, nearly verbatim : #include <boost/fusion/container/generation/make_map.hpp> #include <boost/fusion/include/make_map.hpp> int main() { using namespace boost::fusion; make_map( make_pair<int>('X') , make_pair<double>("Men")); } Both msvc9 and g++ 4.4.1 tell me that there is no make_map function that takes two parameters. g++ mentions that it sees a parameter-less make_map(). I use Boost 1.40. What's up ? Thanks, J-L

[fusion] "modify" value in map
by Jean-Louis Leroy 27 Sep '09

27 Sep '09

How can I create a map that has the same content as another rmap, except for a given key which has a new associated value ? I'm looking for something like replace_key<Key>(Sequence, Value) in the doc but I cannot find it. I think I can build it with push_back(erase_key<Key>(seq), make_pair<Key>(newval)) but if it already exists... Thanks, J-L

Regex problem: cannot parse terms containing OR
by Ramon F Herrera 27 Sep '09

27 Sep '09

I have been able to parse stuff more complicated than this, but now I am stuck with something seemingly simpler. The expression being parsed is the common sequence: 1,2-5,7,8-11 Question 1: Notice my approach. I first match the whole expression, with "regex_match", to make sure that it is valid (that works great). Next, I use "regex_iterator" to break down the parts. Is that good practice? Am I being inefficient/redundant? Question 2: My code below only extracts "range terms" ("x-y"), for some reason I cannot extract "number terms". As a workaround, I can always feed my data like this: 1-1,2-5,7-7,8-11 but, after a lot of tries, would love to learn how to do this properly. TIA, -Ramon ----------------------------------------------------- #include <iostream> #include <boost/regex.hpp> using namespace std; bool term_callback(const boost::match_results<std::string::const_iterator>& what) { for (unsigned int i = 0; i < what.size(); i++) { cout << "what[" << i << "]: " << what[i].str() << endl; cout << "---------" << endl; } return true; } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { const char hyphen = '-'; const char left_paren = '('; const char right_paren = ')'; const char bar = '|'; const char comma = ','; const char star = '*'; const string number = "[0-9]+"; const string range = number + hyphen + number; const string term = left_paren + number + bar + range + right_paren; const string sequence = term + bar + left_paren + term + comma + right_paren + star + term; boost::regex expression(sequence); boost::regex piece(range); boost::cmatch matches; char argument[1024]; strcpy(argument, argv[1]); if (!boost::regex_match(argument, matches, expression)) { cerr << "There is no match" << endl; return 1; } string text = argument; boost::sregex_iterator m1(text.begin(), text.end(), piece); boost::sregex_iterator m2; for_each(m1, m2, &term_callback); return 0; }
