newbie thread synchronization question
by Cory Riddell 01 Mar '09

01 Mar '09

I'm a total newbie with the Thread library, so please forgive me if this is a dumb question. Say I make a class called Shared that looks something like this: class Shared { private: boost::mutex monitor; int qty; public: Shared() : qty(0) { } void lock() { monitor.lock(); } void unlock() { monitor.unlock(); } int getQty() { return qty; } void setQty(int q) { qty = q; } }; If I use it in from multiple threads with code that looks like: // s is an instance of Shared s.lock(); int q = s.getQty(); ++q; s.setQty(q); s.unlock(); will it work reliably on a multi-core machine? When the mutex unlock() happens, does that flush the CPU cache and write the value of s.qty to main memory? Does the mutex lock() operation clear the CPU cache and force a reload of s from the main memory? I'm trying to understand how synchronization works among multiple cpus. I've only worked on multithreaded code in Java and there the memory model is well defined. AFAIK, that isn't the case in C++. Cory

Lambda issue.
by Surya Kiran Gullapalli 01 Mar '09

01 Mar '09

Hello all,I've a class with boost::variant as its member ; class A { public: A() { } boost::variant<int, string, double, date>& getValue (const string& key) { ... } private: map<string, boost::variant<int, string, double, date> >m_member ; } I've list of A's like this list<A> myList. when trying to find a particular element with integer value (1 say) which is stored in m_member, I'm doing this.. find_if (myList.begin(), myList.end(), (boost::lambda::bind(&A::getValue, boost::lambda::_1, "SomeKey") == 1)); This is giving lot of errors. I've tried casting the result of bind to Variant, and then converting the variant to int using boost::get<int>().. but no help. Any ideas how to do this ? Surya

Some question about cross-compiling boost
by 邹磊 01 Mar '09

01 Mar '09

Hi, Volodya. Thanks for your reply. I have tried the method in the document ( http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/tasks/crosscompile.html ), there were still some problems. Some libraries has been built successfully, but many not (such as libboost_serialization, libboost_wave and so on). I got the information as following: >>...failed gcc.compile.c++ bin.v2/libs/math/build/gcc-3.8.0/release/link-static/threading-multi/sph_neumannf.o... >>.......... >>...skipped <p/usr/local/lib/>libboost_serialization-gcc38-mt.a for lack of<p/usr/local/lib>libboost_serialization-gcc38-mt-1_38.a... I didn't know why these libraries built failed. I wonder whether the problem is due to my gcc kernel of cross-compiler . Maybe it's version is too low to build that libraries? How to solve the problem? Thank you! Zou ___________________________________________________________ 好玩贺卡等你发，邮箱贺卡全新上线！ http://card.mail.cn.yahoo.com/

Having a tough time installing and setting up Boost and associated libraries
by ajay gopalakrishnan 01 Mar '09

01 Mar '09

Hi all, I am a newbie when it comes to using boost. My primary motivation behind using boost is that I want to use the Text processing, Numerical computing facilities together in one common language. Boost Regex, Spriti and The BLas Libraries would serve my purpose. However, I am having a tough time installing and running it. I am not able to find any good documentation for using this. My requirement is this: 1. I want to be able to install Boost locally in my Unix account. I don't have root privileges. 2. There is a wrapper called Boost Numerics Package written and hosted at http://mathema.tician.de/software/boost-bindings. I want to be able to use this also. This allows me to use ATLAS, BLAS in Boost. I would also like to know, how tough is it to interface C++ code with Python using Boost.Python. I am not an expert in Python. What is the procedure to do this? Your help will be highly appreciated. Thanks, Ajay G.

shared_ptr memory leak
by gast128 01 Mar '09

01 Mar '09

Dear all, we managed to create a shared_ptr memory leak, without making a cycle. Granted it is highly controversial case. One has to make call in the destructor of the owned object which loops back to the point of assignment. Is this something for the documentation, or may this indeed be flagged as a 'nut' case. Code below is a simplified example, the production case was with some kind of change manager which notification bounced back to the point of assignment. One has to split out header and cpp to get it compilable. void TestSharedPtrLeak() { //make the leak KTestBoostHlpSpLeakParent leak; leak.Reset(false); } //ktestboosthlpspleakparent.h struct KTestBoostHlpSpLeakParent { KTestBoostHlpSpLeakParent(); void Reset(bool b); boost::shared_ptr<KTestBoostHlpSpLeak> m_ptr; }; //ktestboosthlpspleakparent.cpp KTestBoostHlpSpLeakParent::KTestBoostHlpSpLeakParent() { Reset(true); } void KTestBoostHlpSpLeakParent::Reset(bool b) { boost::shared_ptr<KTestBoostHlpSpLeak> ptr(new KTestBoostHlpSpLeak(this, b)); m_ptr = ptr; //m_ptr.swap(ptr); //would solve it btw } //ktestboosthlpspleak.h struct KTestBoostHlpSpLeak { KTestBoostHlpSpLeak(KTestBoostHlpSpLeakParent* p, bool b); ~KTestBoostHlpSpLeak(); public: KTestBoostHlpSpLeakParent* m_p; bool m_b; }; //ktestboosthlpspleak.cpp KTestBoostHlpSpLeak::KTestBoostHlpSpLeak(KTestBoostHlpSpLeakParent* p, bool b) : m_p(p) , m_b(b) { } KTestBoostHlpSpLeak::~KTestBoostHlpSpLeak() { if (m_b) { //recursive call m_p->Reset(false); } }

[Proto] Compialtion-time of user-defined functions : terminals vs make_expr
by Joel Falcou 28 Feb '09

28 Feb '09

As stated in a previous thread, the question was open on what to choose to build large number of functions inside Proto and Eric mentionned being interested by the results .. so ;) The choices were : - using a terminal containing the Polymorphic Function Object of the function and statcially instanciate it bp::terminal< my_func_pfo > my_func = {{}}; - using make_expr in a template function Here is the breakdown of measures I run this day using g++-4.3 and latest proto. I used Boost::Preprocessor to generate all the code and measured the compiel time on a streak of 100 compialtion for eahc version. Naked main : 0.05s Naked main w/ proto : 1.50s => overhead of proto include = 1.45s Without Call to the actual function: Main with 1 proto term : 1.52s => overhead = 0.02s = 0.020s/term Main with 10 proto term : 1.55s => overhead = 0.05s = 0.005s/term Main with 100 proto term : 1.99s => overhead = 0.49s = 0.005s/term Main with 150 proto term : 2.55s => overhead = 1.05s = 0.007s/term Main with 200 proto term : 3.48s => overhead = 1.98s = 0.009S/term Main with 256 proto term : 4.80s => overhead = 3.30s = 0.013s/term Main with 1 proto func : 1.52s => overhead = 0.02s for one function = 0.0200s/func Main with 10 proto func : 1.53s => overhead = 0.03s for one function = 0.0030s/func Main with 100 proto func : 1.53s => overhead = 0.03s for one function = 0.00030s/func Main with 150 proto func : 1.55s => overhead = 0.05s for one function = 0.00033s/func Main with 200 proto func : 1.57s => overhead = 1.98s for one function = 0.00035s/func Main with 256 proto func : 1.61s => overhead = 3.30s for one function = 0.00043s/func With Call to the defined functions in sequence : func behaves like term without call (aka compilation time between 1.5s and 4.8s) term behaves like term without call with a linear overhead of 0.017s/call (aka compilation time between 4.5s and 9.1s) Other measures : executable size skyrocket with term even without any functions being called. 256 functions instanciated yields a 7.3kb binary vs a 1.4kb binary for make_expr func so an overhead of 23,6 bytes/functions in the case of terminal object The scaling seems fine and make_expr is, as expected, the best contender for large number of user-defined expression generator. -- ___________________________________________ Joel Falcou - Assistant Professor PARALL Team - LRI - Universite Paris Sud XI Tel : (+33)1 69 15 66 35

asio Socket disconnection not working in 1.38?
by Michael Dehmlow 28 Feb '09

28 Feb '09

I'm trying to detect that a peer has been disconnected using the asio socket library. Below is a source listing of a unit test that I have created (which is one of several that I have tried; ask for more listings if nesasary) to figure out a reliable method to do so. I've also tried using (and have unit test listings for) the availble(errorCode) call the sock1.remote_endpoint(errorCode); calls.

[multi_array] Why the precondition on assignment?
by Peter Barker 28 Feb '09

28 Feb '09

Hello, I wonder if anyone can give me the rationale behind boost::multi_index's assignment operator having the following precondition: std::equal(this->shape(),this->shape()+this->num_dimensions(),x.shape()); as mentioned in this document: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_38_0/libs/multi_array/doc/reference.html ? I've got a multi_array as a data member of a class and would like to avoid having to create an assignment operator for my class do the resizing and assignment. Regards, Peter Barker

[random] Problems generating pseudorandom 64-bit ints across multiple computers
by James Madison 27 Feb '09

27 Feb '09

I am currently developing a distributed application where many clients need to generate unique 64-bit random numbers which will be used as keys. I am having problems getting boost to do this. For my first attempt, I tried something like the following: boost::mt19937 RandomNumberGenerator::s_algorithm; boost::uniform_int<unsigned long long> RandomNumberGenerator::s_range( std::numeric_limits<unsigned long long>::min(), std::numeric_limits<unsigned long long>::max()); boost::variate_generator<boost::mt19937&, boost::uniform_int<unsigned long long> > RandomNumberGenerator::s_rng(RandomNumberGenerator::s_algorithm, RandomNumberGenerator::s_range); I had two issues though: 1. Is this really giving me random 64 bit numbers, or is it just generating 32-bit numbers and then doing bit expansion? 2. The values always started with the same number. Trying to find a fix for #2, I though of using a hashed GUID as a seed. The problem is I noticed the seed value takes a 32 bit int, which essentially means a 1/2^32 chance of the first value colliding even if chosen completely randomly, which is unacceptable for my application. I am back where I started. Is there any clean way to use boost to generate random 64-bit intergers, when the same application is going to be run across multiple computers?

[Proto] Reducing domain check in operator
by Joel Falcou 27 Feb '09

27 Feb '09

Actually, Proto defiens operators that STATIC_ASSERT when the left and right operand domain types are no the same using is_same. How could I have those check be looser than is_same ? Should I just overload boost::is_same for my domain type and perform a proper test here or is there a way to incorporate this into Proto ? Thanks in advance

I want to sort a array of this struct with 3 elements by comparing the Z value, so: Coordinate coords[3]; ....... std::sort(coords, coords+3, _1 < _2); What should I write to replace "_1 < _2" here? How can I reference the Z member of _1 and _2? I hope I can sort this array without defining any new function. thanks!

Linking Boost in Code::Blocks
by mothdragon 27 Feb '09

27 Feb '09

Okay, I've been trying to figure this out for a couple of weeks now... I'm using Boost 1.37 on Ubuntu Hardy Heron with Code::Blocks 8.02, Programming in C++.... Now, I'm rather new to Ubuntu, and just as much so programming in Ubuntu... Well, I've been working on this project, and I've been cross-developing it on Windows and Linux, but I've hit a hiccup once i've started using Boost... All works great on Windows using MinGW and Code::Blocks, however I cannot get the same code to run in Linux. The best I can think of is that there's a problem with the linking.... I've added the include path, and the lib path to the search directories, and I've added the libboost_serialization-gcc42-mt-1_37.a to the list of libraries but for some reason it still doesn't work... I get the following error when I try to compile: obj/Debug/Griffin RPG V2.o||In function `extended_type_info_typeid_1':| /usr/include/boost/serialization/extended_type_info_typeid.hpp|77|undefined reference to `boost::serialization::extended_type_info::self_register()'| /usr/include/boost/serialization/extended_type_info_typeid.hpp|77|undefined reference to `boost::serialization::extended_type_info::self_register()'| /usr/include/boost/serialization/extended_type_info_typeid.hpp|77|undefined reference to `boost::serialization::extended_type_info::self_register()'| ]+0x8)||undefined reference to `boost::serialization::detail::extended_type_info_typeid_0::less_than(boost::serialization::extended_type_info const&) const'| ]+0x8)||undefined reference to `boost::serialization::detail::extended_type_info_typeid_0::less_than(boost::serialization::extended_type_info const&) const'| ]+0x8)||undefined reference to `boost::serialization::detail::extended_type_info_typeid_0::less_than(boost::serialization::extended_type_info const&) const'| ||=== Build finished: 6 errors, 0 warnings ===| I've looked everywhere I can think of and chatted on a few IRC's but I haven't been able to get anywhere with this... Because of this I've had to develop only on Windows (Yuck!) and not do any testing in Linux... I take comfort in knowing though that once I get Boost operational, my code will work in Linux too... ( probably better since Linux is so nice to me! ) I'd appreciate any help tat can be offered! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Linking-Boost-in-Code%3A%3ABlocks-tp21867302p21867302… Sent from the Boost - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[filesystem] How to tell if a file is locked.
by Andrew Maclean 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

Is it possible using boost::filesystem functions to determine if a file is locked? I have a program which scans a directory for files and I want it to ignore locked files because other process are writing to them. Basically I want to do the following: get the file if (is_locked()) continue else process the file So I just want to know if it is locked. This must work for both Linux and Windows Vista. Has anyone any ideas or example code? Thanks Andrew -- ___________________________________________ Andrew J. P.

make member functions (in)accessible
by Stefan Funck 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

Dear all, I'm trying to find some magic that makes a member function of some object x accessible if and only if it were called from within a class that has object x as a member. Is there a (boost)-way of doing this? As this may seem a bit obscure, I'm trying to give an example: template <typename T, bool Writable> class Property { public: T get() const; void set(const T& val); private: T m_val; }; is a simple class holding a value of T. I have some classes holding potentially many Properties. I'd like to have these properties publically available, some as only readable, others writable as well, so that others (e.g. gui-classes) can access them: class A { public: Property<double, true > propA; Property<int , false> propB; }; so I may do: A a; a.propA.get(); a.propA.set(0.5); a.propB.get(); but NOT: a.propB.set(1); because propB was defined with Writable=false. BUT, from within class A, I would like to do propB.set(1); because otherwise this property is useless. (How) can this be achieved (with boost)? I could make set() private in the Writable=false - specialisation of Property and declare A as a friend, but that's prohibitive since Property shouldn't know about A and it won't work for derived classes of A. Another option would be class A { public: A() : propA(propA_priv), propB(propB_priv) {} PropertyWrapper<double, true > propA; PropertyWrapper<int , false> propB; private: Property<double> propA_priv; Property<int > propB_priv; }; so the actual properties are private and the wrapper provides the actual interface to the outside world. But as there may be many properties I'd like to get away without the wrapper objects ... Thanks for any ideas! Stefan

BGL question about districting
by Barend Gehrels 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

Hi, We're about an automated districting tool. We want to create Y districts from X polygons, all having a specific value (e.g. area or inhabitants), where the total value of each district is as similar as possible and each district is also as similar as possible. Let's call the value the "potential". Of course this problem is NP-hard so we're glad with the first solution or e.g. the first ten solutions. We thought to implement this by the Boost Graph Library. First we detect neighbour relations with our own Geometry Library (using the still-to-build "touches" relationship). We've a graph then and can divide the graph into subgraphs, each having connected nodes and an (nearly) equal "potential". I've some experience with BGL, having used the "connected_components". But I cannot find an appropriate algorithm for this problem, if it is available. Actually it even could be a "network flow" algorithm dividing the total potential by Y, and starting at some point flowing the potential through the graph. But all network flow algorithms seem to be on directed graphs. This is an undirected graph. It it is not possible with a standard BGL algorithm I think we can still solve it using BGL and e.g. breadth-sort-first, but just want to verify if it is possible or maybe by an unexpected workaround. Thanks, Barend

Boost.Python linking error on Scratchbox
by Taneli R. 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

I have a program that uses Boost.Python and it compiles & links in normal desktop environment at x86 architecture (Ubuntu Linux) without any problems. I've compiled the same Boost libraries (1.37) in Scratchbox ARM environment, since my goal is to get my program running in Nokia N800 Internet Tablet as well. Compiling is successful, but when I try to link my code to Python libraries I get the following error: /usr/local/lib/libboost_python-gcc34-mt-1_37.so: undefined reference to `PyUnicodeUCS2_AsWideChar' /usr/local/lib/libboost_python-gcc34-mt-1_37.so: undefined reference to `PyUnicodeUCS2_FromEncodedObject' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status I haven't had any problems with other Boost libraries I've used in Scratchbox.

Dynamic function call question
by Perry, Daniel 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

Hello, I've been trying to design a function dispatch system and I was wondering if the following is possible with the current boost libraries... I currently parse json data into an vector of variants, I would like to be able to take those variants and invoke an arbitrary boost function object with a consistent return type. Is it possible to determine the function argument types, get the typed value from the proper index in the array of variants, and call the function with arguments? This sounds like something the boost fusion library might be able to do, but I can't find any example code using the library to see if this is the right fit for the capabilities of the library or if what I'm looking to do is not possible without tons of boiler plate. Any insight would be greatly appreciated, Regards, Daniel Perry

C_time.hpp fails to get a vaild time
by Lukas.Orlowski＠dlr.de 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

Dear Boost users I'm experiencing problem with the latest Boost version 1.3.8. When ever I try to get the current system time or do anything that needs the system time like: boost::xtime xt; boost::xtime_get(&xt, boost::TIME_UTC); The function c_time.hpp "static std::tm* gmtime(const std::time_t* t, std::tm* result) " Throws it's "could not convert calendar time to UTC time" exception. This might be thread specific but since xtime.hpp uses date_time functions I'm certain it is not. Version 1.3.6 does work fine. Am I missing some API changes? Regards Luke

best way to remove duplicates from forwardIterator [startIter, endIter]
by Sandeep Gupta 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

Hi, Given a collection in terms of [startIter, endIter] how can obtain [uniqBeginIter, uniqEndIter] that represents unique elements of the original container. I can always explicitly instantiate a set S of [startIter, endIter] and use [S.begin(), S.end()]. Is it possible to express this in terms of algorithms. Please note that I won't be able to use std::sort as startIter does not conform to RandomAccessIterator. Its a forward iterator. Thanks Sandeep

Boost.Test on Non Exported Dll Classes
by Jon Black 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

I have a bunch of dll projects that make up an application. I'd like to unit test these projects, but I have two problems: 1) The classes I'd like to test are in the dll and not all of them are exported; 2) Boost.Test doesn't have a main entry point, so if I solve 1 by packing my tests in the dll, how can I run them? If there is a better solution to 1, I'd love to hear it. Otherwise, how can I solve 2?

Some questions about cross-compiling boost
by 磊周 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

Hi,everyone. The version of boost I used is 1.38. I have tried to cross-compile the boost library for a platform with ARM and Linux, but I failed. What I did is listed following: #cd mypath/boost_1_38_0/tools/jam/src #./build/build.sh By doing these, I got a executable file named bjam in the folder "bin.linuxx86". I copied the bjam to the directory "mypath/boost_1_38_0/", then : #cd mypath/boost_1_38_0 #./bjam "-sGCC_ROOT_DIRECTORY=/opt/mv_pro_4.0/montavista/pro/devkit/arm/v5t_le" "-sGCC=arm_v5t_le-gcc" "-sGXX=arm_v5t_le-g++" "-sGCC_BIN_DIRECTORY=/opt/mv_pro_4.0/montavista/pro/devkit/arm/v5t_le/bin" finally, there were some libraries gengerated in "usr/local/lib". Unfortunately, these libraries just can be used in the X86 platform but not ARM platform. Maybe my method was incorrect. Could anyone give me some advices to deal with my problem? Thanks!

shared_ptr and global reset
by Matthieu Guillo 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

Hi Boosters Let's say that I have many shared_ptr<A> sharing ownership to the same A object. At some point, I would like all those shared_ptr to point to a new Object A. Is there an easy (and safe) way to accomplish that? I know how to do that for one shared_ptr using either "reset", either operator = but in order to do this for all shared_ptr sharing ownership, the only way I could think of is through a registration mechanism (like the Observer pattern) but this sounds an overkilling process to me. So basically, is there a "global" reset method? Thanks ------------------------------------------ Matthieu Guillo ------------------------------------------

Re: [Boost-users] metafunction invocation performance
by Hicham Mouline 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

The solution to this one is provided by Joaquin, in his reply below: I tried compiling your code with MSVC++ 8.0 and it is indeed incredibly slow. After playing a little with the code I realized that MPL views are the culprit here: for some reason it is much faster to fold on a vector-based computation rather than a view: template<typename Sequence1,typename Sequence2> struct sequence_product : boost::mpl::fold< Sequence1, boost::mpl::vector0<>, boost::mpl::copy< boost::mpl::transform< Sequence2, pair_with<boost::mpl::_2> >, boost::mpl::back_inserter<boost::mpl::_1> > > {}; This transformation on sequence_product and seq_seqpair_product alone improved the performance tremendously. Additionally I've tried a small optimization: in seq_seqpair_product it is preumable better to fold on Sequence rather than SequencePair, since on average the first is expected to be shorter. Truth be said, I haven't detected any improvement with this, anyway. > Shouldn't there be a dot-product or cross-product of mpl sequences as > a general algorithm? and not just 2 sequences but N. I guess it is the O(n^2) behavior that deterred the author from including the algorithm (much as STL usually does not contain quadratic algorithms). It might be a worthy addition, nonetheless Joaquin --------- Interesting why a joint_view slower than the alternative. This result confirmed then on MSVC8 , gcc4.1, Intel10... regards, /Hicham

scoped_ptr::release (again)
by Yang Zhang 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

From http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0/libs/smart_ptr/scoped_ptr.htm: "If scoped_ptr had a release() member, it would become possible to transfer ownership of the held pointer, weakening its role as a way of limiting resource lifetime to a given context. Use std::auto_ptr where transfer of ownership is required. (supplied by Dave Abrahams)" But there already is a way to escape the scope, via swap(). Would it make more sense to just provide release() and have users specify const if they want? (const scoped_ptr/scoped_array would effectively disallow swapping/releasing.) -- Yang Zhang http://www.mit.edu/~y_z/

Problem with boost::any?
by Germán Diago 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

Hello. I'm working with boost::any and shared_ptr. I'm implementing a plugin system which uses registration from .so files (under Linux). The problem is that I have a factory function which returns boost::any. This boost::any object holds a pointer type. The problem is that when I try to get the registered type back to its real type through boost::any_cast, the cast always fails. If I register this type in the same executable as the application, everything is ok, and I can cast back to its real type.I have no idea why this happens: template <class T> struct ObjectFactory { boost::any operator()() const { typedef typename T::interface_type it; it * t = new T(); return t; } }; #define REGISTER_EXTENSION_NODE(extensionpoint, ns) \ namespace { \ static const bool registeredextensionnode = \ ::Gtk::Util::PluginsManager::instance().register_extension_node(#ns "::" #extensionpoint, \ ::Gtk::Util::detail::ExtensionNodeFactory<ns::extensionpoint>()); \ } These are the implied parts of my application. If I use the macro from a .so, it fails. If I use it from the .exe, everything's ok. The registration part seems to work, I checked the size of the containers and so on, and the elements were inserted. Any help how could I solve this? I've been trying to debug the problem for almost 4 hours with no luck.

[boost-users][StateChart] event creation/destruction
by Igor R 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

Hello, In my application I use a few async state-machines with lots of events. I'd like to trace some events construction/destruction balance, so I define them as follows: volatile long eventCount; template<class MostDerived> struct EvBase : sc::event<MostDerived> { EvBase() { long c = InterlockedIncrement(&eventCount); somelog << c << std::endl; } ~EvBase() { long c = InterlockedDecrement(&eventCount); somelog << c << std::endl; } }; // inherit EvBase directly struct Ev1 : EvBase<Ev1> {}; struct Ev2 : EvBase<Ev2> {}; struct Ev3 : EvBase<Ev3> {}; // inherit EvBase indirectly template<class MostDerived> struct EvIntermediate : EvBase<MostDerived> {}; struct Ev4 : EvIntermediate<Ev4> {}; When I run the application, I see that at some stage the counter goes negative, and its tendency is to get more and more negative. I guess I don't realize something important about the sc::event, so I'd appreciate enlightment on this. Thanks, Igor'.

Re: [Boost-users] [accumulators] Strange behavior while extracting min using UDT

Hello, I found the solution. I had to specialize the min and max as follows for my UDT. It now works as it always did :) acc_sample std::numeric_limits<acc_sample>::min() { return (acc_sample(1000, std::numeric_limits<double>::min())); } acc_sample std::numeric_limits<acc_sample>::max() { return (acc_sample(1000, std::numeric_limits<double>::max())); } -dhruva From Chandigarh to Chennai - find friends all over India.

[accumulators] Strange behavior while extracting min using UDT
by dhruva 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

Hi, The following code when compiled by defining UDT will use a UDT as Sample (without the define, will use double). Some part of code is creating an object (when UDT) is used as acc_sample(0) and that is shown in min. In the following example, I am adding 3 samples and the count confirms that. However, on extracting the min, I get a value that I have not added (and this is created by the following call stack on windows XP using MSVC 2005) ntdll.dll!_DbgBreakPoint@0()

[interprocess] and mixed endianness trouble
by Ivan Kharin 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

My software is a plug-in for Photoshop compatible image editors. For some reasons (third-party lib problems with re-initialize in same process) software was splitted to "Thunk" (loaded into host process) and "Main" (started as separated process) modules. Last days I was busy trying to replace socket-based data exchange with boost.interprocess And encountered a BIG PROBLEM: Non-universal binary host runs under PowerPC-emulation (as well as my universal-binary "Thunk"), but "Main" executes x86 code. Two different processors -- x86 and emulated PowerPC -- have access to interprocess_* private uint32_t's, treating memory as MSB (PowerPC) and LSB (x86) simultaneously. Any ideas? -- Ivan Kharin

[Q] shared_ptr less than operator for std::set
by V S P 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

I am trying to use shared_ptr in std::set and std::vector. For std::set I was expecting that when I define a less than comparasing operation in my class (wrapped by shared ptr) -- it would actually get invoked. Instead I think it is the less than of the shared_ptr that is being invoked So I do not get the ordering I expect in my std::set container. Therefore wanted to ask -- how can it be done, that the operator.< of my class and not the shared_ptr's is being used by std::set I searched for posting on this subject but did not come up with the solution. Only discussions about the details of pointer comparasing http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/boost/1863117 VSP -- V S P toreason(a)fastmail.fm -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Same, same, but different...

[accumulators] Help required for using UDT as Sample
by dhruva 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

Hi, I am using boost::accumulator for finding min (among other things). It works fine when I use a POD as Sample. ex: accumulator_set< double, features <tag::min> > acc; acc(1.0); acc(5.0); .... I have my own data type, time stamp and value. I would like to get the min Sample with corresponding time stamp. class time_val { public: time_t _time; double _value; /* I have overloaded operators: <, >, ==, != */ /* Have provided copy constructor */ }; When I try: accumulator_set< time_val, features <tag::min> > acc; I get a whole lot of compilation errors. Is there any way I can make a UDT as a sample? regards, -dhruva Bollywood news, movie reviews, film trailers and more! Go to http://in.movies.yahoo.com/

Bulding Boost.Python on OSX
by Z. S. O. 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

Forgive me, but it doesn't look like the specific Boost.Python list is active so I'm posting this here. I followed the relevant directions and built Boost.Python on my Mac using bjam, which gave the following output: ...patience... ...patience... ...found 1356 targets... ...updating 54 targets... <snip> ...failed updating 1 target... ...skipped 6 targets... ...updated 47 targets... I now see embedding.o and extending.o in the bin/gcc-4.01/debug directory within the quickstart directory. But when I run test_extending.py, the script fails and gives "ImportError: No module named extending". How do I get the python script to import the extending module? Thank you for your time.

Ok, I apologize I misunderstood the suggestion I made the function as non static member, but kept the input argument. If I make myfunc to take void, then it works.

Link Boost::Python statically
by Marcin Simonides 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

Hello, I'm trying to link my Python extension module with static version of Boost::Python library. According to documentation, the auto_link facility should by default supply the library for static linking (libboost_python-vc80-mt-gd-1_38.lib in my case). Unfortunately it doesn't work that way for me - I get the import lib by default and have to supply boost_python dll. If I specifically provide the statically linked lib to the linker I get errors that symbols are defined multiple times by both the static library and the import library. I was able to link statically by: - defining BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB, - defining BOOST_PYTHON_STATIC_LIB, - adding libboost_python-vc80-mt-gd-1_38.lib to link libraries. While this worked I have a strong feeling that it's not the way it was meant to be. I'm using Visual Studio 2005 to compile my project (it's a Win32 DLL project), I'm using Boost 1.38 that I have compiled with bjam (which probably isn't relevant). All boost's *.lib files are in the same directory so they should be all accessible to the linker. I'm not aware of any BOOST_*_DYN_LINK being set (I have never set any Boost related defines other than the above. If you have any tips on how to verify that, I'd be grateful). Could you help me with this problem? Is there anything I should check that would cause the DLL to be used by default? -- Marcin Simonides

problem with boost regex search
by Guy LaCrosse 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

hello, When I enter the following reg-ex: "^.*ab+c+d+" for the following text: "aaaabbbcccdddee" the text found is:"aaaabbbcccd". The text found should be: "aaaabbbcccddd". Digging deeper, its seems that the reg-ex function ignores the last character if it is a "+". This is just using boost::regex_search with the flags = boost::match_any and boost::match_not_null Am I missing something here?

How to access each elements of a thread group separately
by Johan Mazel 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

Hi I'm using several threads to do some parallel work. But I need to stop them separatly through the interrupt method. In order to store all these threads, I thought that I would use the thread_group class since I cannot use the vector class. But it looks like I cannot acces an element of a thread group (to interrupt it separately for example). Is there anyway of doing this that I'm not aware of ? Thanks in adavnace for the help.

boost::serialization - track_never, load and save in cpp file?
by Martin Trappel 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

Hi. To support the serialization of a class I don't want to change anything, I have added free save and load function. (See the test code below.) It compiles and appears to work. I have the following questions: * Is it OK to put the save & load definitions in a separate implementation file? * Is it OK to specify track_never in a cpp file? Will this cause problems if someone else tries to serialize a map<int, string> ? thanks! - Martin - global_serialization.h - // ... class MyComplexClass; // ... namespace boost { namespace serialization { // Declare save and load for MyComplexClass template<class Archive> void save(Archive & ar, const MyComplexClass& t, unsigned int version); template<class Archive> void load(Archive & ar, MyComplexClass& t, unsigned int version); } } // Split: BOOST_SERIALIZATION_SPLIT_FREE(MyComplexClass); ***** - complex_class_serialization.cpp - // ... #include "ComplexClass.h" // ... typedef std::map<int, std::string ser_map_t; BOOST_CLASS_TRACKING(ser_map_t, boost::serialization::track_never); namespace boost { namespace serialization { template<class Archive> void save(Archive & ar, const MyComplexClass& t, unsigned int version) { // the relevant information to be serialized for // instances of MyComplexClass can be represented // by a map<int, string> ser_map_t m; // ... fill m object from t object ar << m; // Serialize } template<class Archive> void load(Archive & ar, CBoxHandler & t, unsigned int version) { ser_map_t m; ar >> m; // ... init t object from m } } // namespace serialization } // namespace boost

Problem with regular expression's validity and matching
by Paulino De Assis Fong 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

Hi, I have two problems that I would need some help. Thanks in advance. Question 1: Please consider the regular expression to match US phone number below: (($\d{3}$?)|(\d{3}))([\s-./]?)(\d{3})([\s-./]?)(\d{4}) boost doesn't like it and it will throw an exception for the code below while it seems to be fine in online regex tester and .Net Regex library. I don't know what is imcompatiable with boost regex library. Please advice. try { boost::wregex expr(csRegex, boost::regex::normal | boost::regbase::icase); } catch (boost::exception const& e) { } Question 2: Please consider the regular expression to match US SSN below: (?!000)([0-6]\d{2}|7([0-6]\d|7[012])) ([ -])? (?!00)\d\d([ -|])? (?!0000)\d{4} It didn't throw an exception for this regular expression but it wasn't able to match any SSN at all in any format while it matches fine using other regular expression engine. Am I missing something? if (expr.expression()) { // Boost Regex usage flags boost::regex_constants::match_flag_type flags = boost::regex_constants::match_normal; // Start the boost regular expression iterator boost::wcregex_iterator start(boost::make_regex_iterator (StringToMatch, expr, flags)), end; while (start != end) { boost::match_results<const wchar_t*> match = *start; . . . } }

Boost's automatic selection of debug vs release libaries on link - how to disable?
by Damien Hocking 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

Hello everyone, I've noticed that when linking Boost libraries, the linker implicitly knows whether it requires a debug or a release Boost library, and what the full name of the library is. E.g. on Windows the linker wants "boost_serialization-vc80-mt-d-1_37.lib" in debug and "boost_serialization-vc80-mt-1_37.lib" in release. I'm working in an SCons build system where SCons runs the show and the Boost libraries will be custom-renamed and the linker told specifically what libraries to link. Is there any way to disable this implicit naming feature in the bjam build step through a compiler option? Damien

Release notes for Boost.Test
by Ross Boylan 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_38_0/libs/test/doc/html/intro.html says --------------------------------- Release notes For more details see complete release notes. --------------------------------- There are no hyperlinks in that text. What is this referring to? It does not seem to be the global release notes, which don't mention changes in test even when they occurred (e.g., 1.33). Nor can I find something in the docs for test, or groping around in the svn source tree. Ideally, I'd like a history of changes across different releases, so I know what I need to make my code compatible with the different versions. I'm hoping for something a little higher level than svn diff. Thanks. Ross Boylan

[boost::system] Is the library abstraction general enough?
by Lian Cheng 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

Hi, all I'm currently building an asynchronous MySQL client API based on Boost.Asio, whose error handling is based on Boost.System. And thus, I wrote some code to wrap MySQL error codes and error messages with Boost.System. While writing the code, I found that the library doesn't provide a general enough abstraction. As the document says, there should always be only one instance of each error_category class. And each error_code instance communicates with its error_category through only the error number. Then here is the problem. MySQL error code is a property of a single MySQL connection. The mysql_errno() and mysql_error() functions both require a MYSQL* connection handle as parameter to retrieve the last error number and error message of the given MySQL connection. And the error messages provided by MySQL API are actually printf format strings. The mysql_error() function fills the format strings with information related to the MYSQL* handle. But in Boost.System, I've got no idea how to pass the connection handle to the error_category::message() function so that a proper error message can be retrieved. Is there any way to fix this problem? Or the library itself is just not general enough? You see, not all error numbers can be directly mapped to a well defined error message string. Cheers Cheng

[ASIO] io_service.run() call is not blocking until async_write completes
by nick aschberger 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

Hi Folks, I am using boost 1.36, and I have a C++ class that wraps calls to boost::asio sockets. There are two important functions: WriteData -- takes a vector of uint8_t's and uses async_write. WaitForPreviousWritestoComplete -- Here the user expects to block until all their previous writes are complete. Effectively this just calls io_service.run(). A user of this class can will WriteData a few times, and then do some other processing for a bit while the async_write is happening in the background, and then they should block at io_service.run() until the writes complete (and error status etc is checked). It was my understanding that io_service.run() call would block the thread of execution at that point until the pending writes on my output socket were complete. Am I wrong in my interpretation, because I see the user effectively doing: async_write async_write async_write io_service.run() async_write async_write io_service.run() The first call to io_service.run() correctly calls my message handler 3 times, for the 3 writes. The second call to io_service.run() I expect to see the handler called twice, but it is not called at all! If I get a bit tricky and do something like: async_write async_write async_write while (!all_writes_comple_flag){ io_service.run() } (the handler will set all_writes_comple_flag when all writes are complete :) ) then the code is effectively busy waiting at that point until it is done, but I do see the handler entered when I expect. Is there some timing issue occurring here? Perhaps the thread that is managing the socket stuff not had a chance to register that it has a pending write waiting? Am I misinterpreting what boost means in the documentation by saying the io_service.run() function blocks? If I am, what should I do to wait until all asynchronous writes are complete? thanks Nick

[Serialization] Error in serialization of a hash map
by Jack Mullen 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble while using the serialization library. (Boost v1.35, gcc, Red Hat Linux). I have a class containing a hash_map (key=string, value=shared_ptr to a class containing a deque): HashMapClass{ friend class boost::serialization::access; template <class Archive> void serialize(Archive &ar, const unsigned in t version){ ar & map; } __gun_cxx::hash_map<std::string const, boost::shared_ptr<DequeClass> map; } //create instance HashMapClass hashMap; // fill hashmap ... //perform serialization every hour or something std::ofstream ofs("file.txt"); boost::archive::binary_oarchive oa(ofs); const HashMapClass &map = hashMap; oa << map; The Problem: This works fine for several saves. I can see the file created changing each time the serialization is done. Then after about four or five saves, it seg faults at the place described below.

How to use noncopyable?

[Range] Single Pass Range functionality
by Edward Diener 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

In the Boost Range documentation describing the Range concepts for a single pass range it lists in the expression semantics post-condition for boost::begin(a): "boost::begin(a) is either dereferenceable or past-the-end. It is past-the-end if and only if boost::distance(a) == 0." However the documentation for single pass range does not list boost::distance as a valid expression nor in the reference section is boost::distance listed as a single pass range function. Is boost::distance a valid function when applied to a single pass range ?

asio: take back ownership of native descriptor
by Koen Deforche 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

Dear all, We have been enjoying using asio alot to build cross-platform networking applications. Just recently, however, we have encountered a limitation that seems impossible to work around, and, would only require a small addition in the API to accomodate. We are trying to add one or more native socket descriptors into asio's reactor to be informed when it is possible to write or read from these descriptors. Therefore, we are creating a tcp::socket and assign() to it a native descriptor. This works, but it seems that nothing can prevent asio from closing the connection in ~tcp::socket() (which does not seem logic since asio did not open the connection in the first place). Should there not be a method to 'take' (back) the descriptor from the asio socket, which resets the socket to the same state as its default constructor ? We tried the workaround that was suggested on the mailinglist, which is to dup() the descriptor. This works on Linux. Unfortunately, dup() is not available on Windows platforms, and when trying to workaround this by using Windows' native methods, we hit the same (so far, unsolved?) problem of this post: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.user/44269 Regards, koen

How to implementing a conditional wait
by Daniele Barzotti 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

Hi, I have to do a simple task, but I'm quite confused. I have a class that sends some data on RS232 and wait for a answer. (What in Windows is WaitForSingleObject) void ATDispatcher::OnDataReveived() { // Data received from RS232 serial_port.GetData(&buffer); boost::lock_guard<boost::mutex> lock(mut); data_ready = true; cond.notify_one(); }; void ATDispatcher::AtDispatcher(SerialPort& device) : _device(device) { // Connecting the slot for receiving event _device.OnData(boost::bind(&ATDispatcher::OnDataReceived(), &this)); }; int ATDispatcher::SendCommand(std::string cmd, bool waitOK = true, bool decode_answer = true int cmd_timeout = COMMAND_TIMEOUT) { boost::unique_lock<boost::mutex> lock(mut); boost::xtime xt; xtime_get(&xt,boost::TIME_UTC); xt.sec += cmd_timeout; data_ready = false; //Send data.... while(!data_ready) { cond.timed_wait(lock, xt); } }; Ok, The OnDataReceived is called from the SerialPort thread when the data is available. In the SendCommand I have to wait for a timeout or until the answer is arrived...how can I do it? Thanks! Daniele.

Boost.Test: How to create a multi-module (multi-file) test suite or how to link multiple auto test cases into one executable?
by Leonid Shlyapnikov 22 Feb '09

22 Feb '09

Hi everybody! I got a bit rusty with C++. Can someone help me to understand how I can create a Boost.Test suite that contains test cases from multiple modules (multiple cpp files)? Lets say I have: file: ATest.cppp: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- #define BOOST_TEST_MODULE ATest #include <boost/test/included/unit_test.hpp> BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(testA1) { .... } BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(testA2) { .... } ----------------------------------------------------------------------- file: BTest.cppp: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- #define BOOST_TEST_MODULE BTest #include <boost/test/included/unit_test.hpp> BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(testB1) { .... } BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(testB2) { .... } ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Compilation passes all right. Linker gives: In function `boost::unit_test::output::compiler_log_formatter::log_finish(std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> >&)': /usr/include/c++/4.2/bits/char_traits.h:291: multiple definition of `boost::unit_test::output::compiler_log_formatter::log_finish(std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> >&)' I understand this error (even after 3-4 years of only Java :). So, question: Is there any way to link multiple auto test cases into one executable file? I have not found any information on this. Does it mean that if I want to have one executable that runs all my test cases I need to put/include all test case definitions into one cpp file? Thanks a lot, Leonid Shlyapnikov

bjam cross compilation using mingw32 doesn't use mingw32-ar ?
by Ákos Maróy 22 Feb '09

22 Feb '09

I'm trying to cross-compile boost using mingw32, doing the following steps: echo "using gcc : : mingw32-g++ ;" >> user-config.jam bjam target-os=windows threading=multi threadapi=win32 link=static runtime-link=static --prefix=../../usr-mingw --includedir=../../usr-mingw/include --libdir=../../usr-mingw/lib install this goes down fine. but when I'm trying to link to one of the boost libraries, I get the following: mingw32-g++ -m32 -g -L../../usr-mingw/lib -o tests test_plane_position.o test_position_recorder.o test_position_player.o plane_position.o position_recorder.o position_player.o tests.o -llibboost_test_exec_monitor-mgw41-mt-s-1_38 -llibboost_unit_test_framework-mgw41-mt-s-1_38 ../../usr-mingw/lib/libboost_test_exec_monitor-mgw41-mt-s-1_38.lib: could not read symbols: Archive has no index; run ranlib to add one collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [tests] Error 1 where: $ file ../../usr-mingw/lib/libboost_unit_test_framework-mgw41-mt-s-1_38.lib ../../usr-mingw/lib/libboost_unit_test_framework-mgw41-mt-s-1_38.lib: current ar archive I did some search, and one suggestion was that the build process didn't use mingw32-ar for creating the libraries? if so, how could I make bjam use mingw32-ar instead of just ar? or is something else the issue? Akos (of course I could just run ranlib on these libs, but my expectation was that the boost build / install process would produce libraries that one could link to right away)

[signals2][review] The review of the signals2 library (formerly thread_safe_signals) begins today, Nov 1st
by Stjepan Rajko 22 Feb '09

22 Feb '09

Hello all, The review for the Signals2 library (formerly known as thread_safe_signals) submitted by Frank Mori Hess begins today (Nov 1st) and is scheduled to end on Nov 10th. I would like to thank Franz Alt, Terry Golubiewski, Doug Gregor, Ravikiran Rajagopal and Andrew Webber for making this review possible by committing to reviewing the library. How to submit a review: -------- As usual, EVERYONE is welcome to participate in the review discussions and to submit a review. I strongly encourage participation from reviewers that would examine the library from a purely user standpoint (commenting on the interface and / or the documentation), as well as reviewers that would be willing to look into the details of the implementation (i.e., you don't have to focus on both). Here are some questions you might want to answer in your review (feel free to skip those that don't apply to your analysis): * What is your evaluation of the design? * What is your evaluation of the implementation? * What is your evaluation of the documentation? * What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library? * Did you try to use the library? With what compiler? Did you have any problems? * How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A quick reading? In-depth study? * Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain? And finally, every review should answer this question: * Do you think the library should be accepted as a Boost library? Be sure to say this explicitly so that your other comments don't obscure your overall opinion. Please submit your review either to the list or privately to me by the end of the review period. If you send me a review privately I will forward it to the list so the review can be discussed. If you would prefer me to forward your review anonymously (with your name removed) please indicate that in your e-mail. If you are a first time reviewer, here is some more information to get you started: * http://www.boost.org/community/reviews.html has more information on the review process * the review officially takes place on both the boost dev and boost-user lists, but typically more of the discussion happens on the boost dev list * if you want to get a feel for past reviews, you can find them in the archives (see http://www.boost.org/community/groups.html) - the past review dates are on the review schedule (http://www.boost.org/community/review_schedule.html) Typically, there is a period of discussion between the reviewers and the author, with official reviews coming in towards the tail end of the review period. About the library: -------- * The library can be downloaded from: http://www.boostpro.com/vault/index.php?&directory=thread_safe_signals (latest version is signals2-2008-10-08.zip) * Documentation is also available online: http://www.comedi.org/projects/signals2/libs/signals2/doc/html/index.html * A synopsis: The Boost.Signals2 library (formerly known as thread_safe_signals) is an implementation of a managed signals and slots system. Signals represent callbacks with multiple targets, and are also called publishers or events in similar systems. Signals are connected to some set of slots, which are callback receivers (also called event targets or subscribers), which are called when the signal is "emitted." Signals and slots are managed, in that signals and slots (or, more properly, objects that occur as part of the slots) can track connections and are capable of automatically disconnecting signal/slot connections when either is destroyed. This enables the user to make signal/slot connections without expending a great effort to manage the lifetimes of those connections with regard to the lifetimes of all objects involved. When signals are connected to multiple slots, there is a question regarding the relationship between the return values of the slots and the return value of the signals. Boost.Signals2 allows the user to specify the manner in which multiple return values are combined. * Relationship to Boost.Signals: This is a thread-safe variant of the original Boost.Signals library. There have been some changes to the interface to support thread-safety, mostly with respect to automatic connection management. The following thread offers some more details on the differences between the two implementations, as well as a plan of a phased replacement of Boost.Signals should Signals2 be accepted: http://tinyurl.com/4sqau3 [nabble] The Signals2 FAQ also covers some differences: http://tinyurl.com/576gl6 Kind regards, Stjepan (review manager)

Using boost::barrier
by Asheh 22 Feb '09

22 Feb '09

Hi, Having trouble with sleeping N threads while I need to wake them. Since boost contains no sleep/wake functionality I have tried using boost::condition, I have had trouble with this too (it seems to cause locks). Somone mentioned boost::barrier I read about it in the documentation and it appears to function in a way I would require, here is what im looking for: I reach a point in the program where I segment a pieces of data and it needs to be processed in parallel on two threads, the main thread waits for the two worker threads to finish processing then continues on, those two threads (or N threads..) must then go back to sleep until they are needed again. Can anyone provide a good solution, if boost::barrier is what im looking for could you help me describe how Id correctly impliment this? Thanks Ashley. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Using-boost%3A%3Abarrier-tp22137821p22137821.html Sent from the Boost - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[GIL] wrapper for QImage
by Tomas Van Verrewegen 22 Feb '09

22 Feb '09

Hi, I'm planning to write an image manipulation application using Boost.GIL as a backbone and Qt for the interface. Now I was thinking it might be a good idea to write a wrapper around QImage to give GIL direct access to the pixels of a QImage. I've been looking at the code and as far as I can tell I have 2 options: (1) create a new GIL image type that wraps the QImage (2) create a "qimage_pixel_iterator" and use "... interleaved_view(...)" Now my question(s): - Would (2) be enough, or is it necessary to also create (1)? - "QRgb" (Qt's pixel type) is a typedef for "unsigned int", so specialising eg. "template<class Pixel> struct gil::channel_type" for "unsigned int" seems somewhat suboptimal (is it an 8bit RGBA pixel or a 32bit Gray pixel?). Some sort of proxy class might be appropriate? Maybe a gil::pixel<...> subclass?

Regex win vs. linux
by Adam Kornafeld 22 Feb '09

22 Feb '09

Hi, I'm seeking help for the following problem, using the regex library: the following line of code is meant to assist in parsing urls: boost::regex exp("(?is)(https?)://([^:/?#]+):?(\\d{1,5})?/?([^?#]*)?\ \??([^#]+)?#?(\\w*)"); It runs fine in a linux environment, however if compiled with VC9 on windows, it fails with: First-chance exception at 0x7c812aeb in test.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: boost ::exception_detail ::clone_impl <boost::exception_detail::error_info_injector<boost::regex_error> > at memory location 0x0012f768.. I thought that the expression might be too long, and indeed if I shorten the above line to: boost regex exp("(?is)(https?)://([^:/?#]+):?(\\d{1,5})?/?"); it runs fine on windows as well. Any help on what the cause of this can be, would be appreciated. Regards, ==Adam

[accumulators] help/advise required: Need a container to hold accumulator_set
by dhruva 22 Feb '09

22 Feb '09

Hello, I am writing a wrapper class which gets data over time and has to compute a variety of statistics using boost::accumulators. The accumulator cannot be a variable on the stack (function local variable) as it will go out of scope after the function invocation. I will have to make it a member variable of a class. I will not know the type of calculations to requested at compile time. I therefore need a generic accumulator type as member and add the specific type at runtime. In short, I need a container to hold accumulator_set objects. Different type of accumulator_set objects in the container will perform different calculations. The type of calculation I want to perform will be based on input at runtime. pseudo code: #define MEAN 1 #define MAX 2 class calc { public: setmetric(int metricType) { accumulator_set<double, features<> > *pacc; if (1 == metricType) { pacc = new accumulator_set<double, features <tag::mean> >; } else if(2 == metricType) { pacc = new accumulator_set<double, features <tag::max> >; } m_Vacc.push_back(pacc); } compute(double input) { // I will iterate over the vector, get the accumulator_set objects // acc_obj(input) followed by extract } private: std::vector <accumulator_set<double, features<> > *> m_Vacc; }; If features could be added at runtime, I probably could have solved this problem. Other approach is to have an accumulator_set with all supported features (supported by my application) as dropable. Drop all the unnecessary features based on user input. By adding all supported types, I will get a complete accumulator_set class at compile time and having a container to hold it is straight forward. Any help or advise is really appreciated. I may have raised a lot of basic questions but I am a boost newbie and taking a plunge. -dhruva Cricket on your mind? Visit the ultimate cricket website. Enter http://beta.cricket.yahoo.com

boost::asio::read_until reads too much!
by Rob Currey 22 Feb '09

22 Feb '09

executing this code: boost::asio::streambuf b; std::cout << "socket.available()=" << socket.available() << std::endl; size_t received = boost::asio::read_until(socket, b, "\r\n"); std::cout << "received=" << received << std::endl; std::cout << "b.size()=" << b.size() << std::endl; std::istream is(&b); std::getline(is, m_token); results in output of: socket.available()=34 received=26 b.size()=34 In my app I need to read the 8 bytes (after the 26) as binary (and hence don't use the streambuf to do so). Yet read_until has already consumed them from the socket and placed them in the streambuf :( Suggestions?

boost library advice wanted
by Sean Farrow 21 Feb '09

21 Feb '09

Hi: I am in the process of implementing a program that turned commands from voice recognition software in to code that are entered in to an application. there are approximately 200 codes available in this particular sofware I am automating. Wile I could use boost::stringAlgo along with the functions available in the stl there must be a better alternative. To give an idea of howthis would work the user might say: conditional new line, and [l] would be placed in the current document onscreen. the user could say skip 5 lines and [sk5] would be entered. >From this it is clar that: 1. some tokens are voiced by the user but are not needed when analysing the input. e.g lines is used for ease of use but not actually used in the analysis. 2. some tokens are only followed by certain othe tokens, e.g new can be followed by line, page or paragraph. tow queries: 1. What is the best boost library to use in this situation, boost.wav, boost.spirit, boost.xpressive or boost.tokenizer. 2. Has anybody else done anything like this, and hence can offer any implementation advice. Any help apreciated. Sean.
