Unexpected warning relating to boost::function, and size_t / unsigned
by Matthew Bourdua 14 Jul '08

14 Jul '08

Hello, I'm receiving a compiler warning (MSVC8.0) that does not make sense to me, and I wonder if this might be a boost related issue: #include <vector> #include <functional> #include <boost/function.hpp> int main() { std::vector< std::size_t > sizes; std::vector< unsigned > data; boost::function< bool (unsigned, unsigned) > fn = std::greater< unsigned >(); fn( data.front(), 10 ); // NOTE: data is empty - will cause runtime error } The warning I get is: warning C4267: 'argument' : conversion from 'size_t' to 'unsigned int', possible loss of data referring to the last line in main(). This warning goes away if I do either of the following: - Comment out the std::vector< std::size_t > sizes - this one baffles me. - Use a 'naked' std::greater< unsigned >() instead of a boost::function< bool (unsigned, unsigned) >() object. I wonder if size_t is somehow redefined in boost in a way that might be causing me some trouble? Any help would be appreciated, thanks. Matt

Hi Matt, Disable the /Wp64 switch.

About max in boost
by Peng Yu 14 Jul '08

14 Jul '08

Hi, I'm wondering if there is a max function boost, which accept arbitrary number of arguments. For example, max(a, b) max(a, b, c) max(a, b, ...., z) Thanks, Peng

Accessing vertices by their name
by Anthony Labarre 13 Jul '08

13 Jul '08

X-No-Archive: yes Hi all, I'm interested in adding edges to a graph whose vertices are labelled, and I would like to do this using the vertex NAMES instead of their indices (or "descriptors"). I know that add_edge uses vertex_descriptor, so I probably won't be able to achieve what I want directly, but I thought property maps would allow to easily recover the vertex_descriptor corresponding to a given label. Unfortunately, although I have spent a lot of time looking for that in the documentation, I didn't succeed in achieving my goal. My graph is declared as follows: typedef adjacency_list< vecS, vecS, undirectedS, property< vertex_name_t, std::string > > Graph; Graph G(0); I hoped that boost::property_map<Graph, vertex_name_t>::type vertex_names = get(vertex_name, G); would be exactly what I needed, but it seems that vertex_names can only be accessed using vertex descriptors and returns strings, which is exactly the opposite of what I need. If anyone has ideas, I'd love to hear them. Thank you so much, Anthony -- http://homepages.ulb.ac.be/~alabarre/

[BGL] kolmogorov_max_flow: can't compile even the example
by Niko Vuokko 13 Jul '08

13 Jul '08

I'm trying to compile the example for kolmogorov_max_flow in Graph library, but it gives me an error (more precisely 1023K worth of errors...). Tried compiling on Cygwin, GCC 3.4.4, g++ -c -I/path/to/boost -O2 example.cpp. I don't really know how to look for the problem, I tried compiling also with gSTLfilt (filters STL errors), but couldn't find anything. Any ideas?

Avoiding a circular reference of boost::functions
by Simon Pickles 13 Jul '08

13 Jul '08

Hello, I am using boost::functions to provide a simple event system, but have come across a problem. I have two classes that need to communicate with each other, CGUI and CEventHandler. Their instances are both shred_ptrs owned by a third class, CCore. To establish comms, I am passing boost::functions which have been bound to members of the two classes: //--------------------- typedef std::vector<boost::any> many // CCore.cpp snippet boost::function<bool(many&)> cb = m_eventHandler->RegisterGUICallback( boost::bind( &IGUIInterface::HandleEventMessage, m_gui, _1 ) ); m_gui->RegisterEventHandler( cb ); // CEventHandler.cpp snippet // boost::function<bool(many&) m_guiTx declared in .h boost::function<bool(many&)> CEventHandler::RegisterGUICallback(boost::function<bool(many&)> f) { // MEM LEAK IS HERE - A circular reference? m_guiTx = f; return boost::bind(&CEventHandler::HandleGUIRx, this, _1); } // CGUI.cpp snippet // boost::function<bool(many&) eventHandlerCallback declared in .h void CGUI::RegisterEventHandler( boost::function<bool(many&)> cb ) { m_eventHandlerCallback = cb; m_log->GUI("EventHandler callback registered. Testing...\n");//, s ); std::string message = "This was sent from CGUI::RegisterEventHandler\n"; int id = 43; many msg; boost::any _message = message; boost::any _id = id; msg.push_back(_id); msg.push_back(_message); m_eventHandlerCallback(msg); } //----------------------------------------------------- As you can see, CCore binds a public member function of m_gui and passes it to the eventhandler, where it is stored and used to send events. The event handler returns its own member function, bound to this, which CCore duly passes to m_gui. Now both classes hold objects with refs to each other, and the program does a big memory dump when it is ended, on win32 with MSVC2005. I envisage this is because the shared_ptrs holding the instances of CGUI and CEvenHandler are not destructing at program close. Commenting out the line: m_guiTx = f; eliminates the issue. What is a better way to achieve this? Thanks Simon

[serialization, boost 1.36] Changes in BOOST_IS_ABSTRACT
by Ruediger Berlich 13 Jul '08

13 Jul '08

Hi there, I'm trying to prepare my application for the upcoming 1.36 Boost release and understand that there have been a number of substantial changes in the serialization code. I understand the serialization chapter of the 1.36 documentation in such a way that it is recommended to use BOOST_SERIALIZATION_ASSUME_ABSTRACT(T) for compilers that cannot cope with the 1.36 BOOST_IS_ABSTRACT(T) macro. gcc 4.3.1 seems to be one of the compilers that need this - it emits an error for BOOST_IS_ABSTRACT in 1.36 . Now I'm wondering whether BOOST_SERIALIZATION_ASSUME_ABSTRACT will work for other compilers, even if they could also deal directly with BOOST_IS_ABSTRACT. /********************************************************/ #if BOOST_VERSION <= 103500 BOOST_IS_ABSTRACT(GenEvA::GObject) #else BOOST_SERIALIZATION_ASSUME_ABSTRACT(GenEvA::GObject) #endif /* Serialization traits */ /********************************************************/ Thanks and Best Regards, Ruediger

It's weird, cause it ought to work. For instance, the following does it nicely both in GCC 3.4.4 and MSVC++ 8.0: #include <boost/multi_index/global_fun.hpp> #include <cstddef> #include <iostream> struct Element{}; template<typename T> std::size_t my_hash_value(const T&){return 0;} namespace mi=boost::multi_index; typedef mi::global_fun<const Element&,std::size_t,&my_hash_value > key_extractor; int main() { key_extractor k; Element e; std::cout<<k(e)<<std::endl; } What error messages are you getting? You can make your compiler's life easier by being a little more explicit when passing my_hash_value (though it's not obligatory to do so): typedef mi::global_fun<const Element&,std::size_t,&my_hash_value<Element> > key_extractor; If you provide me with a little more info about the errors you're getting maybe I can be more helpful.

There is a trivial method but it relies on undocumented implementation features of hashed indices: std::size_t h=boost::hash<Element>()(...); std::size_t n=h%elementSet.bucket_count(); // the element lies in the range [first,last). In most cases (i.e. if the hash // function is doing a good job), this range only contains one element. ElementSet::iterator first=elementSet.begin(n), last=elementSet.end(n); As I said, this relies on the knowledge that an element with hash value h goes to the bucket in the position h%bucket_count. So, my strong advise is *not to use this*. The correct approach is the one you are already exploring below. > Currently, I'm using a trick with supplying custom hashing/equality > functors, but probably there's some more straightforward way? [...] > struct ElementEq > { > bool operator()(size_t x, const Element &y) const > { > return x == boost::hash<Element>()(y); > } > }; Strictly speaking, your ElementEq struct has to provide also the operator()(const Element&,size_t): struct ElementEq { bool operator()(const Element &x, size_t y) const { return boost::hash<Element>()(x) == y; } bool operator()(size_t x, const Element &y) const { return x == boost::hash<Element>()(y); } }; (In practice it works with the second oeprator() only, but this is again undocumented). [...] > int main() > { > ElementSet elementSet; > //.... > // I've got here a hash-value of an element, and I wish to find it in the set. > ElementSet::iterator pos = elementSet.find(hashValue, > ElementHashHasher(), ElementEq()); > } You have to take into account that there is a possibility that find() gets you a distinct element with the same hash value, so you'd better use equal_range() and postprocess the obtained range to find the exact element you're after. Other than this, the technique you describe is absolutely OK and the one I'd recommend to do what you want. Is it not working for you? I've written a small code snippet to try it myself and everything seems to work OK (attached). Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

Problem with recursion using Boost intrusive list
by Tomáš Šalamon 13 Jul '08

13 Jul '08

Hi, I am a newbie to Boost libraries and I have the following problem with Boost intrusive list: I have a Page class and I need to put its instances into an intrusive set. There is no problem and it is working fine. Beside that, I need every instance of this class had a member intrusive list containing other Pages. The source is as follows: struct pageTag; typedef link_mode<normal_link> NormalLinkMode; typedef set_base_hook<tag<pageTag>, NormalLinkMode> SetPageHook; typedef list_base_hook<tag<pageTag>, NormalLinkMode> ListPageHook; class Page : public ListPageHook, public SetPageHook { public: typedef set<Page, base_hook<SetPageHook>> PageSet; typedef list<Page, base_hook<ListPageHook>> PageList; Page(); ... friend bool operator< (const Page &a, const Page &b) { return a.fullPath < b.fullPath; } friend bool operator> (const Page &a, const Page &b) { return a.fullPath > b.fullPath; } friend bool operator== (const Page &a, const Page &b) { return a.fullPath < b.fullPath; } private: // some stuff here PageList links; /****************** THIS IS THE PROBLEM ************************* }; As I add the last line with the list, I get: "Error 1 error C2248: 'boost::intrusive::list_impl<Config>::list_impl' : cannot access private member declared in class 'boost::intrusive::list_impl<Config>' c:\program files\boost\boost_1_35_0\boost\intrusive\list.hpp 1434". Is there any problem with recursion in Boost intrusive containers? Thank you. Tomas

[boost-users][multi-index] hashed identity: lookup by hash value
by Igor R 13 Jul '08

13 Jul '08

Hello, Given a multi_index_container with 1 hashed unique identity key (kind of unordered set) - is there a "trivial" way to find a value by its hash-code? Currently, I'm using a trick with supplying custom hashing/equality functors, but probably there's some more straightforward way? struct Element {//...}; size_t hash_value(const Element &e) { //... } typedef mi::multi_index_container<Element, mi::indexed_by<mi::hashed_unique<mi::identity<Element> > > ElementSet; struct ElementEq { bool operator()(size_t x, const Element &y) const { return x == boost::hash<Element>()(y); } }; struct ElementHashHasher { std::size_t operator()(size_t x) const { return x; } }; int main() { ElementSet elementSet; //.... // I've got here a hash-value of an element, and I wish to find it in the set. ElementSet::iterator pos = elementSet.find(hashValue, ElementHashHasher(), ElementEq()); } Another way I tried was defining the hash-code as an explicit key: //... mi::hashed_unique< mi::global_fun<const Element&, std::size_t, &hash_value> > //... The problem however is that my hash_value functions are templates, and the above definition is not compiling... Thanks!

Actually, it isn't clear to me that you CAN use shared_ptr without RTTI. The shared_ptr package (both boost and TR1) includes dynamic_pointer_cast and static_pointer_cast, which are RTTI-related functions. Perhaps if you could share with us why it is important to use the -fno- rtti switch in your work, someone could provide more substantive suggestions. Cheers, Rick Aurbach

[GIL] Point concept
by Felipe Magno de Almeida 12 Jul '08

12 Jul '08

Hi, PointNDConcept is defined as having axis_value member functions. But the GIL code in the boost trunk doesn't comply with this requirement. A free axis_value function is just useless, because it can't be found by ADL when template parameters are passed explicitly. Also, member template axis doesn't model Metafunction. Am I missing something? Regards, -- Felipe Magno de Almeida

binding arguments for boost:function
by James Sutherland 12 Jul '08

12 Jul '08

Any thoughts on how to bind some arguments for a function? Consider the following: struct A { double operator()( const double a, const double b, const double c ) const { return a+b+c; } }; int main() { typedef function<double(double,double,double)> F3arg; typedef function<double(double,double) > F2arg; typedef function<double(double) > F1arg; typedef function<double() > F0arg; A a; const double x1=0.0, x2=1.0, x3=4.0; F3arg f3 = bind<double>( a, _1, _2, _3 ); cout << f3(x1,x2,x3) << endl; } How would I take "f3" and bind one argument? Something like: F2arg f2 = bind<double>( f3, _2, x2 ); // bind x2 to second argument of f3...

[rfc] GIL, draw operations, GUI [and maybe AGG?]
by Felipe Magno de Almeida 12 Jul '08

12 Jul '08

Hi, I'm creating a gui lib and am designing the basic drawing operations. I want the interface to be implementable as thin layers over most UIs (win32/gtk+/qt/etc). I wanted most of all have good interoperability with GIL. I found that it was actually very inconvenient defining windows as GIL views. A win32 window for example can't model a view without sacrificing reliability or efficiency. It also fixes operations as to be manipulations of pixels. But this definition for drawing operations lacks flexibility to create generic code to work with different units (not only pixels). This would allow a scalable GUI implementation where the units could be defined as millimeters and the drawing operations done with advanced anti-aliasing for example, without compromising straightforward implementations. So these drawing operations would actually define a concept. These operations could then be defined for GIL views, GUI windows and maybe more :). Do you think this could actually be useful? Comments are welcome, -- Felipe Magno de Almeida

[random] Saving the state of the random number generator
by Jeffrey A. Edlund 12 Jul '08

12 Jul '08

If I'm using g++ then I can just use operator<< and operator>> to save and load the state of the random number generator. Unfortunately I also need to compile this code on MSVC++ 8.0. Using MSVC++ 8.0 BOOST_NO_MEMBER_TEMPLATE_FRIENDS is defined which removes those operators. Is there some way to do this without modifying mersenne_twister.hpp or doing something crazy like #define private public? Thanks, Jeffrey

Passing dynamic arguments with boost?
by Simon Pickles 11 Jul '08

11 Jul '08

Hi, After programming with Python and switching back to C++, I am missing the flexibility of a scripted language. Specifically, I am annoyed at having to specify the arguments of a function at compile time. Is there anyway I can avoid specifying the exact arg structure? I thought boost might do this somehow? Say for example, I have a message handler function. I want to be able to send all sorts of arguments to the same function, which can then deduce what to do according to the data held in those args. I don't want to have to overload everything as I am passing these message handlers around using boost::function/boost::bind. Thanks

[serialization][portable-binary archive] Data not byte-swapped across architectures
by Jon C. Kroll 11 Jul '08

11 Jul '08

Hello: I am attempting to use the boost serialization portable-binary archive. The 2 architectures I am working on are: 1. Intel on MS-Windows/Mac OS X 2. PowerPC on Mac OS X The version of portable-binary that I am using is from the Trunk. The attached sample code shows that an integer I serialize on PPC and then unserialize on Intel is not byte-swapped. And similarly, an integer I serialize on Intel is not byte-swapped on PPC. It does not appear to be a OS issue, because the data is unserialized properly from a MS-Windows Intel system to a Mac OS X Intel system, and vise versa. Another manifestation of this occurs when I serialize a large container, like a vector for example. The code has an exception because the size of the container is not byte-swapper. I can provide example code for this as well. This experience leads me to believe either: 1. The portable binary is not functioning properly with Mac OS X PPC or 2. I am not using the portable-binary archive properly, either configuration or code. It is not clear if I need to archive in a specific endian-ness and then manually detect the architecture and byte-swap if necessary. Or if all of that is handled automatically by the portable-binary archive. Advise on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Bulding with non-default GCC
by David Dyer-Bennet 11 Jul '08

11 Jul '08

bjam may be the best thing since sliced bread (some of the summaries of capabilities certainly make it sound interesting / valuable), but it's not a tool I know anything about. In an ordinary makefile, I could quickly substitute the right tools (gcc4 instead of gcc, g++4 instead of g++) and be on my way (without having to bother you). But I don't immediately see how to approach that with bjam. I had hopes it would auto-detect gcc4 since I found that string in a couple of the files in hopeful-looking contexts, but that has not happened. So -- how do I build Boost 1.35.0 on my Linux system (Centos 4.6) using a GCC 4 installed as /usr/bin/gcc4 on my system? (We're using to_string() in date-time, among others, so I really do have to compile the library.) -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b(a)dd-b.net; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info

Re: [Boost-users] [preporcessor]Can we use BOOST_PP_SEQ_FOLD_LEFT on sequences with one element?

[...] > Thanks Joaquin, > > the question now is how to treat sequences of size 1 separately from the > general case. > I have tried with BOOST_PP_IF, but it is no better. [...] > #define XX_SEQ_TO_QNAME(S) BOOST_PP_IF(XX_SIZE_GREATER_THAN_1(S)\ > , XX_SEQ_TO_QNAME_N(S) \ > , XX_SEQ_TO_QNAME_1(S)) The problem lies in the invocation to BOOST_PP_IF: you're evaluating both XX_SEQ_TO_QNAME_N(S) and XX_SEQ_TO_QNAME_1(S), which is precisely what you're trying to avoid. This is akin to doing the following in runtime C++: int if_(bool c,int then_,int else_) { if(c)return then_; else return else_; } int safe_div(int n,int d) { return if_(d!=0,n/d,0); } cout<<safe_div(5,0); You see why this fails? The same is happening to you in the PP realm. The solution is to be lazy when it comes to invoking SEQ_TO_QNAME_*: #define XX_SEQ_TO_QNAME(S) BOOST_PP_IF(XX_SIZE_GREATER_THAN_1(S)\ , XX_SEQ_TO_QNAME_N \ , XX_SEQ_TO_QNAME_1)(S) Hope this helps, Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

[BGL] Extending own Graph type to work with BGL
by Christiaan Putter 11 Jul '08

11 Jul '08

Hi guys and girls, I've got an existing Graph structure, consisting of node and edge classes. The graph structure itself is implicit in the sense that every node contains a list of out edges, and edges know where they start from and go to. I'm using Qt's container classes for simplicity mostly, eg. a node has a QList of successors (QList<Edge*>), and all the nodes and edges get stored in a Network class using QHash<Node*> etc... I've been trying to extend this to work with the BGL, following the LEDA and SGB examples. As far as I know I can simply use the BGL functions on an instance of my own Network, ie. no need to recreate the graph. Is this correct? It would save a lot of cpu time since the network contains several thousand nodes and can be very dense. Thus I haven't implemented any add_node or add_edge functions, because I really only want to analyse the graph and not change anything. Some details of what I've got sofar: -vertex and edge descriptors are simply pointers corresponding to my own classes -vertex and edge iterators are simply typedefs of qhash::const_iterator or qlist::const_iterator -some source code at the bottom. So far so good. Though I've been stuck for 2 days trying to figure out how to get property maps to play nicely with my classes. I thought I'd be able to apply the bundle concept from the adjacency list to my own graph, but I'm not sure what exactly needs to be implemented to work. The idea is to create property maps directly from the members of my classes. Is this possible? What would I need to implement for something like weight_map(get(&Node::cost, Network)) to work? *** How about for member functions? ie. If cost were a function instead of a variable? *** I couldn't really figure out how the bundles are actually accessed. Though simply copying the get and put functions from the adjacency list class seems not to work... I think the crux of the matter really lies in figuring out how to access the pointers corresponding to nodes or edges with this T Bundle::* p that gets passed in. And what do I need to do when creating an exterior property map for storing temp data, for instance the distance map used by dijkstra? This is actually where compilation fails at the moment. Some source: //Getters and putters for bundles template <typename T, typename Bundle> inline typename property_map< Network, T Bundle::*>::type get(T Bundle::* p, Network& g) { typedef typename property_map< Network, T Bundle::*>::type result_type; return result_type(&g, p); } template <typename T, typename Bundle, typename Key> inline T get(T Bundle::* p, Network const & g, const Key& key) { return get(get(p, g), key); } template <typename T, typename Bundle, typename Key> inline void put(T Bundle::* p, Network& g, const Key& key, const T& value) { put(get(p, g), key, value); } The basic source, target etc. implementations: inline graph_traits< Network >::vertex_descriptor source(graph_traits< Network >::edge_descriptor e, const Network& g) { return e->getStart(); } inline graph_traits< Network >::vertex_descriptor target(graph_traits< Network >::edge_descriptor e, const Network& g) { return e->getEnd(); } inline std::pair<graph_traits< Network >::out_edge_iterator, graph_traits< Network >::out_edge_iterator> out_edges(graph_traits< Network >::vertex_descriptor u, const Network& g) { typedef graph_traits< Network >::out_edge_iterator Iter; return std::make_pair( u->getSucc().constBegin() , u->getSucc().constEnd() ); } inline std::pair<graph_traits< Network >::vertex_iterator, graph_traits< Network >::vertex_iterator> vertices(const Network& g) { typedef graph_traits< Network >::vertex_iterator Iter; return std::make_pair( g.getNodes().constBegin(), g.getNodes().constEnd() ); } // property map stuff template <> struct property_map<Network, vertex_index_t> { typedef identity_property_map type; typedef type const_type; }; inline identity_property_map get(vertex_index_t, const Network& g) { return identity_property_map(); } inline identity_property_map get(edge_index_t, const Network& g) { return identity_property_map(); } I really think everything else is working though I just can't get these silly property maps to play nicely. If someone could point me in the right direction it would be swell. I think once I get everything to work it would make a great example too. Though personally I thought something like this would be quite standard, though I couldn't find anything in the mailing list archives. Thanks for reading! And have a great day, Christian

Boost.Filesystem path string() confusion
by PETER BARKER 11 Jul '08

11 Jul '08

Hello, I want to use the Boost.Filesystem library in my Win32 application. I've stumbled upon a problem which may very well be my misunderstanding of how to use the library but reading the documentation doesn't clear up my confusion. The user choses a path from a native UI and a bfs::path is constructed with the native name checker. This path needs to be persisted so I call the string() method which according to the documentation "Returns: The contents of m_name, formatted according to the rules of the generic path string grammar." I figured this string would be acceptable to the bfs::path constructor without specifying native because it's in the corrct grammar but I get an exception thrown. Here's a stripped down version of my code: #include <iostream> #include <iterator> #include <boost/filesystem/operations.hpp> namespace bfs = boost::filesystem; int main() { try { // Path constructed from a native UI so constructed with native bfs::path myPath("C:/autoexec.bat",bfs::native); // Persist to grammar conformant string std::string persisted = myPath.string(); // Recreate from persisted string - *THROWS EXCEPTION* bfs::path otherPath(persisted); } catch(const std::exception& e) { std::cout << e.what() << std::endl; } return 0; } The exception string is "boost::filesystem::path: invalid name "C:" in path: "C:/autoexec.bat"" Can someone explain how I should be doing this please? Thanks, Pete

[Thread] What do I #include?
by Adam Nielsen 11 Jul '08

11 Jul '08

Hi all, This may seem like a silly question, but is someone able to point me to where in the Boost docs it tells me which files I need to #include to use Boost Threads? I'm looking at the docs here: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/doc/html/thread.html But the only #include directive I can find is for using boost::barrier. There's no mention of what to use for boost::mutex for instance, and even the example code that comes in the distribution doesn't say what to include to use boost::shared_mutex. So far I've only managed to find what I needed by recursively grepping the installed .hpp files, so I'm sure I'm missing something! Thanks, Adam.

Interest in yet another properties library?
by Sergey Sadovnikov 11 Jul '08

11 Jul '08

Hello All, Would there be any interest in another C++ properties implementation? I know that boost sandbox already contains properties library. But I could offer yet another implementation of such library with some advantages like this: - Simple properties set initialization. Only one call from the constructor: class SomeClass { public: //... SomeClass() : properties__(this) {/*...*/} //... }; - Many kins of properties. Now implemented: Simple properties similar to datamembers. Properties bindable to getter/setter methods of container class. Properties bindable to arbitrary methods. Index properties with up to three levels of indirection. - Properties could be "abstract" and need implementation in derived classes - In-place initialization of simple properties. For example: PROPERTY_I(int, ContainerSize, 10) - Generic runtime access to the properties via names: SomeClassWithProps c; int val; c.properties__.invoke_get("ContainerSize", var(val) = boost::lambda::_1); c.properties__.invoke_set("ContainerSize", 20); - Runtime enumeration of properties: // Property visitor function template<typename P> void PropertyEnumerator(const std::string& propertyName, P SomeClassWithProps::* propInfo) { //... ] // Properties enumeration: SomeClassWithProps::properties__::enum_s(PropertyEnumerator); - Simple serialization of properties: template<typename Ar> void serialize(Ar& ar, const unsigned int ver) { ar & properties__; } - Quite simple definition in class. A piece of code from real project: // Example of abstract properties definition in the base class: class IPlayerCraft : public IAirObject { public: IPlayerCraft() : properties__(this) {;} virtual ~IPlayerCraft(){} // Craft status enum ECRAFTSTATUS { csREADY =0, csFLYING, csREPAIRING, csREFUELING, csREARMING, csTRANSFERING, csMAXCOUNT }; PROPERTIES(IPlayerCraft, // Craft name ABSTRACT_RW_PROPERTY(std::wstring, Name) // Static craft info ABSTRACT_RO_PROPERTY(SCraftInfo const*, Info) // Craft home base ABSTRACT_RO_PROPERTY(IBase const*, HomeBase) // Is craft on the base? ABSTRACT_RO_PROPERTY(bool, IsOnTheBase) // Craft status ABSTRACT_RO_PROPERTY(ECRAFTSTATUS, Status) // Current craft speed ABSTRACT_RO_PROPERTY(TPARAM, Speed) // Craft weapon ABSTRACT_INDEX_PROPERTY(IItem*, CraftWeapon, 1, (CraftSlotCoord)) // Craft weapon ammo ABSTRACT_RO_INDEX_PROPERTY(TPARAM, CraftWeaponAmmo, 1, (CraftSlotCoord)) ); //... }; // Implementation class class PlayerCraft : public IPlayerCraft { public: PlayerCraft(SCraftInfo const*, Player* player); ~PlayerCraft(); PROPERTIES(PlayerCraft, IMPLEMENT_PROPERTY(IPlayerCraft, PROPERTY(std::wstring, Name)) IMPLEMENT_PROPERTY(IPlayerCraft, PROPERTY(SCraftInfo const*, Info)) IMPLEMENT_PROPERTY(IPlayerCraft, RO_PROPERTY(IBase const*, HomeBase, GetHomeBase)) IMPLEMENT_PROPERTY(IPlayerCraft, PROPERTY(bool, IsOnTheBase)) IMPLEMENT_PROPERTY(IPlayerCraft, PROPERTY_I(ECRAFTSTATUS, Status, csTRANSFERING)) IMPLEMENT_PROPERTY(IPlayerCraft, PROPERTY_I(TPARAM, Speed, 0)) IMPLEMENT_PROPERTY(IPlayerCraft, INDEX_PROPERTY(IItem*, CraftWeapon, 1, (CraftSlotCoord), GetCraftWeapon, SetCraftWeapon)) IMPLEMENT_PROPERTY(IPlayerCraft, RO_INDEX_PROPERTY(TPARAM, CraftWeaponAmmo, 1, (CraftSlotCoord), GetCraftWeaponAmmo)) ); // ... IBase const* GetHomeBase() const {return m_HomeBase;} private: // ... IItem* GetCraftWeapon(int slotId) const; void SetCraftWeapon(int slotId, IItem* weapon); TPARAM GetCraftWeaponAmmo(int slotId) const; }; As you can see, properties definition based on boost::preprocessor. It allows to implement quite complex background (with many special abilities) for quite simple front-end. It is assumed what access to the properties in many cases is same as access to the datamember: PlayerCraft craft; std::string craft_name = craft.Name; //... IItem* weapon = craft.CraftWeapon[1]; And there is special access form needs in some cases: craft.Name(); or craft.Name.get(); If there is an interest in such properties implementation I could start prepare code for formal library review. -- Best Regards, Sergey mailto:flex_ferrum@artberg.ru

[BGL] get_property does not seem to return a reference
by Torsten Sadowski 11 Jul '08

11 Jul '08

Hi, I use an additional map as a graph property. The manual says get_property returns a reference: template <class GraphProperties, class GraphPropertyTag> const typename graph_property<adjacency_list, GraphPropertyTag>::type& get_property(const adjacency_list& g, GraphPropertyTag); so I would expect I could simply change the map but and forget about it. This does not work and I have to use set_property after my changes which means I have been working with a copy. Any ideas why this happens? Cheers, Torsten

Variable-length template argument lists in C++03?
by Robert Dailey 11 Jul '08

11 Jul '08

Hi, Is there a way that I can provide variable length template argument lists in C++03 using boost? An example of what I want to achieve is below: template< typename t1, typename t2, ..., typename tN > void MyFunction( t1 param1, t2 param2, ..., tN paramN ) { boost::tuple<t1, t2, ..., tN> myTuple; AnotherFunction( param1, param2, ..., paramN ); } Right now to do this I have to create several class specializations which gets very nasty. Help is appreciated. Thanks.

Boost::asio segfault
by Campbell Morrison 11 Jul '08

11 Jul '08

Hi, I am running an asynchronous server, and an asynchronous client with asio. I wanted to get an understanding of how the buffering worked with asio, so I performed the following test: Created an asynchronous server that output an incrementing counter every 1ms. Created a asynchronous client that received the counter, but would pause for 1 second in the handler (I.e. my server is publishing information mush faster than the client could receive it) I found that the client would not miss out on any information, i.e. the recieved counter would only ever increment by the amount the server was incrementing by. I found that after sometime though, the server segfaults (possibly a buffer getting overrun??) So my question is, can anyone point me in the direction of information that will tell me how to adjust the buffer asio is using internally (if it is, I have looked in the doco but couldn't find anything)? Also, what gaurentees does asio provide for delivery of a message, if any? regards, campbell.

How to convert a vector of base classes to template based code?
by Peng Yu 11 Jul '08

11 Jul '08

Hi, The following program uses virtual functions. Essentially I need to go through all the pairs in 'v'. Since I have already know what are in v at compile time. I would like to convert the dynamic polymorphism to template. Therefore, the runtime would be better. I think this should be done with the help of boost::mpl. But I'm not sure how to do it. Would you please help me? Thanks, Peng #include <iostream> #include <vector> #include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp> struct shape { virtual void show_me() const = 0; virtual ~shape() { } }; struct square : public shape { void show_me() const { std::cout << "square"; } }; struct circle : public shape { void show_me() const { std::cout << "circle"; } }; struct triangle : public shape { void show_me() const { std::cout << "triangle"; } }; int main() { std::vector<boost::shared_ptr<shape> > v; { boost::shared_ptr<shape> s(new square); v.push_back(s); } { boost::shared_ptr<shape> s(new circle); v.push_back(s); } { boost::shared_ptr<shape> s(new square); v.push_back(s); } { boost::shared_ptr<shape> s(new triangle); v.push_back(s); } for(std::vector<boost::shared_ptr<shape> >::const_iterator it = v.begin(); it != v.end(); ++ it) { for(std::vector<boost::shared_ptr<shape> >::const_iterator it2 = it + 1; it2 != v.end(); ++ it2) { (*it)->show_me(); std::cout << " vs. "; (*it2)->show_me(); std::cout << std::endl; } } }

library naming of boost 1.35.0
by Daniel Bauer 11 Jul '08

11 Jul '08

hi, i try to compile boost 1.35.0 with mingw 3.4.5, bjam 3.1.16 and winxp sp2. so i created a *.BAT-file like follows: @echo off SETLOCAL SET MINGW=C:\Development_Compiler\MinGW SET PYTHN=C:\Development_Compiler\Python25 SET BUILD=C:\Development_Libs\Boost_v1.35.0 SET path=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\system32;%MINGW%\Bin cls bjam.exe -a "-sTOOLS=mingw" "-sGCC_ROOT_DIRECTORY=%MINGW%" "-sPYTHON_ROOT=%PYTHN%" "-sPYTHON_VERSION=2.5" --link=static --runtime-link=static --threading=single --optimization=on --toolset=gcc --build-dir=%BUILD% --build-type=complete install ENDLOCAL for builing boost 1.34.1 (bjam 3.1.15) this works well and i get a bunch of *.A-files (*). but with combination named above i get no *.A-files, but *.LIBs. is there a different library naming than described in http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#libr… ? regardless of "--threading=single" i also get many "libboost...mt...lib"-files. why ("--build-type=complete" covers "--threading=single"?) ? thank you, daniel (*) i didn't tested it over again, but the BAT-file is always the same

booser::serialization compilation times
by Andreas Sæbjørnsen 10 Jul '08

10 Jul '08

We are a team that develops a C/C++/Fortran/Binary compiler project called ROSE and we want to serialize the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST). This AST has 436 different custom class types and uses maps, sets, vectors, lists and hash maps. These classes have about 1229 different variables. For convenience reasons we wanted to serialize the AST using boost::serialize, but we have some compiler performance problems. Currently the compilation takes (GCC 4.1.2) -48 minutes to compile and link a program that takes seconds to compile without serialization -The resulting binary goes from <1MB to 122 MB in size. -The compilation uses 2 GB of RAM -The object file contains 98075 symbols with serialization and 41 without If the templates for loading the AST is not instantiated the instantiated templates for saving the AST takes about - 19 minutes to compile and link - The resulting binary goes from <1MB to 77MB - The compilation uses 1.1GB of RAM We have our own custom serialization mechanism that is not that easy to support, but it does not visibly increa My machine is a 2.66 Ghz Quad Core Xeon 5355, 16 GB RAM and 2 TB of striped storage. Is there any trick I can use to reduce the compilation time? When the compilation time is 48 minutes boost::serialization is unfortunately not an option for us although it is a great tool at runtime. thanks, Andreas

Performance and linking (boost_regex)
by SD 10 Jul '08

10 Jul '08

Hi, i've encountered a significant performance difference with boost_regex between linking first to it and linking last to it. I guess it is not a issue specific to boost_regex, but maybe someone can clarify that. I have created the following test files and tested with gcc-4.1 and gcc-4.3 on 64-bit linux and gcc-4.1.2 on 32-bit linux. The results for 64bit are further down, but the results for 32-bit are very similar. **** # set your boost_extension (i.e. -mt) # export BOOST_EXT=-mt cat > test.hpp <<EOF // test.hpp #ifndef TEST #define TEST #include <string> int check(const std::string & test); #endif // TEST EOF cat > test.cpp <<EOF // test.cpp #include "test.hpp" #include <boost/regex.hpp> int check(const std::string & test) { int result = 0; static boost::regex match("a*b*c*d*e*f*g*h*i*j*k*a*b*c*d*e*f*g*h*i*a*b*c*d*e*f*g*h*i*j*"); for (int i = 0; i < 1000; ++i) { result += boost::regex_match(test, match); } return result; } EOF cat > main.cpp <<EOF // main.cpp #include "test.hpp" #include <iostream> int main() { std::cout << check("abcdaaaaaaaaaabcdefgaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbddeef") << std::endl; } EOF # Create libtest.so g++ -shared -fPIC test.cpp -o libtest.so # link boost_regex before libtest.so g++ main.cpp -lboost_regex${BOOST_EXT} -ltest -L${PWD} -o main_fast # link boost_regex after libtest.so g++ main.cpp -ltest -lboost_regex${BOOST_EXT} -L${PWD} -o main_slow time env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${PWD} ./main_slow # real 0m0.753s, user 0m0.746s, sys 0m0.004s time env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${PWD} ./main_fast # real 0m0.104s, user 0m0.103s, sys 0m0.002s As the results show the order which libs are being linked to the program has significant performance impacts on execution time: main_fast is about 7 times faster than main_slow. **** Interestingly main_slow becomes much faster, if you compile libtest.so with optimization. With -O the execution time of main_slow becomes: g++ -O -shared -fPIC test.cpp -o libtest.so time env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${PWD} ./main_slow # real 0m0.118s, user 0m0.115s, sys 0m0.003s But it is still about 15% slower than main_fast. **** If you compile test.cpp statically into the executable you also get slow results g++ main.cpp test.cpp -o main_test -l boost_regex time ./main_test # real 0m0.645s, user 0m0.641s, sys 0m0.001s **** If you compile an optimized version of main_test on my 64-bit linux you also get about 10% worse runtime than the unoptimized version of main_fast.

Unresolved symbols to ~archive_pointer_oserializer using serialization
by Christoph Mayer 10 Jul '08

10 Jul '08

Hi, I am in the progress of upgrading a project from boost 1.34.0 to 1.35.0. As far as I can see no changes have been made to the Serialization library. But I am having trouble with it. -I build boost using ./configure and using the with-libraries option to built the serialization library, besides others as a shared library -I am using g++ 4.2.3 on Ubuntu 8.04 Using BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_GUID I am making my classes known to the serialization library. For serialization I am using boost::archive::polymorphic_binary_oarchive. This all worked with 1.34.0. Now I am getting strange linker errors. I do have -lboost_serialization on the linker command.

Is there an elegant way to initialize an instance of boost::any with a C-style string constant?
by Ferdinand Prantl 10 Jul '08

10 Jul '08

Hello, I would like to ask you about the best solution to initialize a boost::any instance with a C-string constant. Both the most legible (IMHO) possibilities fail: boost::any foo("foo"); boost::any bar; bar = "bar"; Compiler (MSVC 2008 in my case) complains about them: ...\boost\any.hpp(117) : error C2536: 'boost::any::holder<ValueType>::boost::any::holder<ValueType>::held' : cannot specify explicit initializer for arrays with [ ValueType=const char [4] ] ...\boost\any.hpp(134) : see declaration of 'boost::any::holder<ValueType>::held' with [ ValueType=const char [4] ] ...\boost\any.hpp(115) : while compiling class template member function 'boost::any::holder<ValueType>::holder(ValueType (&))' with [ ValueType=const char [4] ] ...\boost\any.hpp(41) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::any::holder<ValueType>' being compiled with [ ValueType=const char [4] ] ...\test.cpp(10) : see reference to function template instantiation 'boost::any::any<const char[4]>(ValueType (&))' being compiled with [ ValueType=const char [4] ] Obviously the string constant is considered of the type chat[4] which lacks CopyConstructible and Assignable requirements. Wrapping the constant in some expression which satisfies the requiremenst spoils the beauty of a simple code or brings unnecessary (for the constant handling) object: boost::any foo(static_cast<const char *>("foo")); boost::any foo(std::string("foo")); Such solutions were suggested in the thread http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2003/01/43460.php but I was hoping there could be something better. I suppose there is no way to persuade the compiler to consider the constant to be const char *... Why has not been the following constructor added to boost::any? The array would make it there passing just one conversion: template<typename ValueType> any(const ValueType * value) : content(new holder<const ValueType *>(value)) {} Someone could say that that it is more error prone because it enables storing a pointer which can be invalid as soon as the boost::any instance leaves the scope but the error can be made anyway: boost::any foo(std::string("foo").c_str()); Another possibility would be to match the array type exactly but it has probably no benefit: template<typename ValueType> any(const ValueType value []) : content(new holder<const ValueType *>(value)) {} Do you see any problems with such constructors? How do you use string constants with boost::any? Thank you, Ferda Prantl

[Boost.Serialization] Derived class de-serialization problem due to MSVC linker
by Markus.Himmerich＠oppenheim.de 10 Jul '08

10 Jul '08

Hi, I am trying to serialize a large set of objects in our library. I am using the Serialization library from version 1.33 with MSVC 2003. When I had all serialization code in the header files of the classes, linking took too much time and memory. Therefore I am now using explicit template instantiation of the serialize function (see below) in conjunction with precompiled headers for the Boost.Serialization. The problem is this: When I de-serialize a DerivedObject to a BaseObject-pointer (so that only the header of the BaseObject class is included) the linker seems to throw away the information from the explicit template instantiation of the DerivedObject in some cases. When I combine the explicit template instantiation and definition of serialize into one object for BaseObject and all DerivedObject, the linker keeps the registration information of the derived class (because MSVC uses object-level linking). Due to the coding standards in our institution this method was disapproved. Is there a way to make the linker keep the registration information of DerivedObject? Best regards, Markus Himmerich .h-File: ---------------------------------------- namespace boost{ namespace serialization { class access; } } class BaseObject { public: ... private: friend class boost::serialization::access; template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int /*version*/); } .cpp-File: ---------------------------------- #include <boost/archive/xml_iarchive.hpp> #include <boost/archive/xml_oarchive.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/export.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/utility.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/shared_ptr.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/vector.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/map.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/set.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/string.hpp> //Use precompiled headers for these headers template<class Archive> void BaseObject::serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int /*version*/) { ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(id_); ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(data1_); } template void a::serialize<>(boost::archive::xml_iarchive & ar, const unsigned int /*version*/); template void a::serialize<>(boost::archive::xml_oarchive & ar, const unsigned int /*version*/); BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT(a) BOOST_SERIALIZATION_SHARED_PTR(a) Analogous files for DerivedObject. </PRE> <meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" Diese E-Mail und eventuell beigefügte Anhänge enthalten vertrauliche Informationen, die rechtlich besonders geschützt sein können, zum Beispiel durch das Bankgeheimnis.

Building boost with a non-default compiler?
by Dan Katz 10 Jul '08

10 Jul '08

Hi - I'm trying to build boost-1.35 on a Linux 2.4 machine where both gcc-2.95 (the default) and gcc-3.3 (the one I'd like to use) are installed, and I'm having a lot of problems. Perhaps you can help me figure out how to go forward? Attempt #1 -- use the configure script ======================================================================== To begin, I started by following the online instructions at http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html where it says (section 5.1) "Select your configuration options and invoke ./configure again...", so I selected the --with-toolset and --prefix options as follows: ------------------------------------ boost_1_35_0$ ./configure --with-toolset=gcc-3.3 --prefix=./BUILT Building Boost.Jam with toolset gcc-3.3... ./configure: ./bootstrap/jam0: No such file or directory tools/jam/src//bjam Detecting Python version... 2.2 Detecting Python root... /usr Unicode/ICU support for Boost.Regex?... not found. Generating Boost.Build configuration in user-config.jam... Generating Makefile... boost_1_35_0$ ------------------------------------ where I got the idea that the argument to --with-toolset should be gcc-3.3 from the description of toolsets in section 5.2.2 of the documentation which describes how to name toolsets for Boost.Build and states that If you have multiple versions of a particular compiler installed, you can append the version number to the toolset name, preceded by a hyphen, e.g. intel-9.0 or borland-5.4.3. Of course, trying to run the generated makefile fails miserably: ------------------------------------ boost_1_35_0$ make install ./tools/jam/src//bjam --user-config=user-config.jam --prefix=./BUILT --exec-prefix=./BUILT --libdir=./BUILT/lib --includedir=./BUILT/include install /bin/sh: ./tools/jam/src//bjam: No such file or directory Not all Boost libraries built properly. boost_1_35_0$ ------------------------------------ At this point I noticed that the documentation for section 5.2 states that "If you're using a compiler other than your system's default, you'll need to use Boost.Build to create binaries." Aha! Although it does leave me wondering what the --with-toolset option of the configure script is for... Attempt #2 -- Build Custom Binaries ======================================================================== For this attempt, I decided that I'd build everything from scratch. So I untarred a fresh source tree and began by building bjam, following the directions at http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/doc/html/jam/building.html ------------------------------------ $ cd tools/jam/src $ sh ./build.sh ------------------------------------ which build bjam cleanly using the gcc-2.95 default compiler. I then moved back to the root directory as described in section 5.2.4 of the documentation and invoked bjam as follows: ------------------------------------ $ export PATH=$BOOST_ROOT/tools/jam/src/bin.linuxx86:$PATH $ bjam --toolset=gcc-3.3 stage [...tons of stuff about compilation and failure messages...] ...failed updating 57 targets... ...skipped 52 targets... ...updated 188 targets... $ ------------------------------------ and while some of the libraries appear to have bee built, not all of them have been: ------------------------------------ $ find . -name libboost* ./stage/lib/libboost_signals-gcc33-mt-1_35.so ./stage/lib/libboost_regex-gcc33-mt.so ./stage/lib/libboost_regex-gcc33-mt-1_35.so ./stage/lib/libboost_prg_exec_monitor-gcc33-mt-1_35.so.1.35.0 ./stage/lib/libboost_prg_exec_monitor-gcc33-mt-1_35.so ./stage/lib/libboost_signals-gcc33-mt-1_35.so.1.35.0 ./stage/lib/libboost_signals-gcc33-mt.so ./stage/lib/libboost_prg_exec_monitor-gcc33-mt.so ./stage/lib/libboost_regex-gcc33-mt-1_35.so.1.35.0 ./bin.v2/libs/test/build/gcc-3.3/release/threading-multi/libboost_prg_exec_monitor-gcc33-mt-1_35.so.1.35.0 ./bin.v2/libs/regex/build/gcc-3.3/release/threading-multi/libboost_regex-gcc33-mt-1_35.so.1.35.0 ./bin.v2/libs/signals/build/gcc-3.3/release/threading-multi/libboost_signals-gcc33-mt-1_35.so.1.35.0 -------------------------------- which clearly shows that a wide variety of the libraries (such as boost_thread and boost_test) are missing. So the question is: do you have any suggestions about how I should proceed? I'm willing to capture all of the build output and look for failure messages to post here, but I thought I should show you what I did and see if there was anything glaringly wrong before I did that. Thanks! Dan

Boost File System on Cygwin and native paths
by Andrej van der Zee 09 Jul '08

Hi, I am having some troubles with Boost File System on Cygwin. It seems to use Posix file paths as native, but I need Windows paths since I am using Cygwin to develop an application for Windows. I compiled my own projects and the boost libraries on Cygwin using msvc-8.0. Do I need to pass some special compiler flag to tell the file system library that native is Windows, and not Cygwin/Posix?

[assert] Control Flow Warnings with BOOST_ASSERT(false)
by Michiel Helvensteijn 09 Jul '08

09 Jul '08

I've been using the BOOST_ASSERT macro. I like it because it can throw an exception rather than use the abort signal. And I can catch exceptions in automated unit-tests. However, I sometimes use assert(false) in locations that should be unreachable. And the compiler (well, GCC at least) understands this, because assert() calls abort() if the expression equals (evaluates to) false. If I use BOOST_ASSERT in this way, the compiler shows me various warnings about the flow of control. It does not know that my implementation of assertion_failed() throws an exception. To get rid of those warnings, I've changed BOOST_ASSERT for my personal use: #define BOOST_ASSERT(expr) { \ if (!(expr)) { \ ::boost::assertion_failed(#expr, BOOST_CURRENT_FUNCTION, \ __FILE__, __LINE__); \ abort(); \ } \ } It may not be the best way. For example, there may have been a reason to push everything into the ternary operator that I am not aware of. But it seems to work. I believe this functionality should be part of the library. Probably optional by defining another constant (BOOST_ENABLE_ASSERT_ABORT or somesuch). Are the developers aware of this problem? Do you think it will be solved in the library? Thanks in advance for your reply, -- Michiel Helvensteijn

[BGL] problems with depth_first_search

Hello list members, I tries to use 'depth_first_search' in a very simple manner but I get an weird compilation error. Here's a snippet of my code: typedef adjacency_list<listS, listS, bidirectionalS, Vertex> BGL_Graph; // Vertex is a bundled property BGL_Graph g(...) . . . typedef boost::property_map<BGL_Graph, boost::vertex_index_t>::type VertexIndexMap; VertexIndexMap vertex_id = boost::get(boost::vertex_index, g); vector<default_color_type> colormap(num_vertices(g)); depth_first_search( g , visitor(default_dfs_visitor()) , make_iterator_property_map(colormap.begin(), vertex_id) ); I use a graph with listS for the VertexList. Then I try to specify my own color map (created like the default color map) and want to set a dfs visitor (here the default one). But the compiler can't find 'initialize_vertx' and 'start_vertex'.

[Boost] Is their any conflicts between boost::thread (and bind...) with inherited methods ?
by Germain BARRET 09 Jul '08

09 Jul '08

Is their any probleme with boost::thread and inherited functions ? Here is an example of what doesn't work to me : Class A { public: makeWork() { runThat(); } ; protected: virtual runThat(void); } //A Class B : public A { public : init() { boost::thread(makeWork); }; //v1 init() { boost::thread(boost::bind(B::makeWork)); }; //v2 private : runThat(void) { printf("foo"); }; } No way, once makeWork never run, or with boost::bind, boost::ref, boost::function... I have still errors (do I need to post the errors... ?) That why befor posting any error log, I ask if there are known problems with inheritage and boost::thread ? Of course I know how to use boost::thread and boost::bind, for example if I had this to B, it works Class B : public A { ... public : init2() { boost::thread(foo); }; private : foo(void) { printf("foo"); }; ... } So what ??? In fact, in the real case, B inherit from another class one of my own invention : Singleton<CLASS> no need to explain what it does... maybe the "1 object only" is a problem for boost ? PS : the docs have very few complete examples, do you preview to extend it ? (usage of thread, bind, function, ref in the same example please) monolithic examples are OK to understand the principle, but not to understand complex usages...

[BGL] accessing vertex/edge by ID

Hello list members, I've a little question: Is it possible and if so, how is it possible, to randomly access a vertex or edge by its id (according to vertex_index or edge_index proprty map)?, i.e. calling 'vertices(graph)[id]'. My problem is that I wan't to access a vertex or edge in an unique and graph lifespan-wide manner without iterate over all vertices or edges. With vertex_descriptor/edge_discriptor it's possible but only if I don't change the graph structur (not lifespan-wide). Kind regrads, Manuel -- GMX startet ShortView.de.

[BGL] direct access to compressed_sparse_row vectors?

09 Jul '08

In the header file I find: // private: non-portable, requires friend templates --cut-- std::vector<EdgeIndex> m_rowstart; std::vector<Vertex> m_column; I already have a graph stored as a BGL adjacency_list and now I want to use a 3rd-party library (SCOTCH) which takes its input also in the CSR format. As I can see from the docs, there is no standardized interface to retrieve the raw CSR representation. This way, I either have to rely on the above members not being private, or myself effectively duplicating the already existing code for constructing the CSR representation.

I am using this as my main event loop (so I can call it within another event loop that does additional processing): wait () { m_io.run_one(); // Executes at most 1 m_io.reset(); // Apparently I must do this m_io.poll(); // Executes 0 or more handlers but doesn't block m_io.reset(); // Apparently I must do this } So that run_one blocks until at least 1 handler has been executed and then poll doesn't block but executes the rest... I register a callback with async_read and async_write. On the client side the write callback is executed and the buffer is emptied (I'm using asio::streambuf). However, on the receiving endpoint (the server) the io_service reports that handlers (the correct amount for a send/write from the client side - e.g. they tally) are ready or have been executed - but no callback is actually registered. Running wireshark (ethereal) whilst the send/recvs are supposed to be happening reports that no data is sent!! That is, until I quite the client app (which closes the socket, stops the io_service etc.) then wireshark reports all the data that should have already been sent! I am really confused!! The callbacks report that the data has been sent (or at least that is what I understand) and the callbacks are even executed at the other end (or rather they're not but the io_service reports that handlers have been executed!). Can anyone think of why this might be?? Regards, Jim PS: Some more code: async_write (m_socket, m_outbound, transfer_at_least(p_max), bind(&base_io::write_callback, shared_from_this(), placeholders::error, placeholders::bytes_transferred)); async_read (m_socket, m_inbound, bind(&base_io::read_callback, shared_from_this(), placeholders::error, placeholders::bytes_transferred)); -- James Vanns Systems Programmer Framestore CFC Ltd.

Compilation problems using boost::regex in Objective-C on OSX
by Helge Gudmundsen 09 Jul '08

09 Jul '08

I have installed and built Boost (1.35.0) on my Mac, and things are working beautifully when I create a "pure" C++ project. My test source file looks like this: #include <iostream> #include <boost/regex.hpp> #include <string> int main (int argc, char * const argv[]) { std::string expr = std::string("(Colo)(u)(r)"); std::string textToMatch = std::string("Colour, colorize, colours, color"); boost::regex reg(expr, boost::regex::icase | boost::regex::perl); std::string result = regex_replace(textToMatch, reg, "$1$3"); std::cout << result; return 0; } It runs and produces the expected output. However, my intent is to use Boost in a project combined with Objective-C code. When I use the exact same code in a file called Test.mm and try to compile in XCode, I get compiler errors in cpp_regex_traits.hpp end perl_matcher_hpp: error: cannot find protocol declaration for "" - in line 799 of cpp_regex_traits error: expected unqualified-id before '=' token - in lines 259 and 265 of perl_matcher.hpp I am sure it is just some compiler flag I need to set somewhere, but at the moment I am stumped. Has anyone reading this list successfully mixed objective-c with c++ and the boost library? Sincerely, Helge

BGL Newbie
by Eric B 09 Jul '08

09 Jul '08

Hi this message may have been sent twice as i got an error on my previous post, if so I apologize I'd like to build a boost graph from my own graph representation which is made of: std::vector<tNode*> => vertices std::set<std::pair<tNode*,tNode*> > => edges (oriented) tNode is a custom struct which contains various data and 2 integer attribtues for coordinates x,y I need to compute XY for each node in order to display them I have done that with another lib but as BGL seems more recent I d like to evaluate it. I'm not a boost expert neither a template guru => therefore I have some problems (even after having read lot of examples). I'd like to have an example to understand how BGL works. 1) how to build a boost representation of my own graph (where boost nodes ID would be integer cast of tNode* so that I can feed back my own nodes with XY) 2) how to run a layout algorithm on the boost representation (kawai or any other else). Than you

Boost.Threads for Fedora/Wine
by most＠museresearch.com 09 Jul '08

09 Jul '08

Hi, I would like to use Boost.Thread in my 'winelib' application (a Linux executable that can also use Windows APIs via Wine). My application hosts, and shares threads with, 3rd party Windows DLL binaries. I've been told that to interact well those threads I must use the Windows threading APIs in my application. But by default Boost for Fedora (naturally) uses the pthread APIs. So I would need to use the Win32 variant of Boost.Thread. Any suggestions for how to use the Win32 thread APIs in Boost.Thread, but use the Linux variants of the rest of the libraries like Boost.Filesystem etc? I looked in to Boost.Build and bjam, but wasn't sure how to proceed. I got stuck trying to configure it to use winegcc or how to set BOOST_THREAD_PLATFORM_WIN32. Is that the right tack? Thanks for any tips... Michael Ost PS: FYI the Wine project provides the 'winegcc' tool which can build sources with Windows APIs into winelib shared libraries. That is, 'winegcc' could build the Win32 versions of the Boost.Thread source into Linux shared libraries. It is command line compatible with gcc.

[mpl] minimizing template nesting depth
by Brian Simpson 09 Jul '08

09 Jul '08

I've got some code that makes heavy use of mpl. I developed and successfully testid it with msvc8.0 . Then I #included it in a WinForms app (meaning that the compiler is now running with one of the /clr options). The compiler stops with an error explaining that it has "run out of stack space". This could be simply a difference in compiler implementations, but I thought I remembered that mpl was implemented with some builtin recursion unrolling classes to mitigate deeply recursive typedef issues. If so, it occurred to me that maybe the macros mpl is depending on to trigger the level of recursion unrolling aren't supplied when msvc is compiling for CLI. I've perused the code a bit to try to find where it is setting such a thing, but haven't been successful. So I thought I'd post here in hopes of a quick answer. Does mpl implement such a thing? And if so, where is it? I'd like to see if it isn't getting used for cli compilation. Thanks! --Brian

Templated Class as Polymorphic Function Parameter
by Joshua Perry 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

I apologize if this is a beginner question, but I can't find much on how something like this is supposed to work. I am using boost::iostreams to abstract away a couple of different methods of talking to our hardware devices. So I've created a device for each transport, each of which derive from device<bidirectional>; ip_device, serial_device, and usb_device. I then declare streams for each as stream<ip_device>, etc... Now that I have the streams, I have a class that communicates with the device and I would like to construct or initialize an object of that class with any one of the streams. I have yet to figure out how to form the constructor/function parameter to allow this. I've tried something like this, a stream of the base type of my devices: void init( stream< device<bidirectional> > str); I think something like this may work but I'm not sure if I want to template the function: template< typename T> void init(stream<T> str); A reference to any kind of discussion about using templates in such a way would help me in more than just this instance. Thanks for any input, Josh

[gil] new opencv extension
by Christian Henning 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

Hi there, over the past few weeks I have rewritten the current opencv extension. Now there is a lot more functionality available as it was before. The following topics are covered: * converting colorspaces ( gray, rgb, rgba, xyz, hsv, hls, and lab ) * drawing primitives ( line, rectangles, circle, polyline, and text ) * edge detection ( sobel, laplace, canny, ... ) * resizing images( nearest neighbor, linear, area, and cubic ) * smoothing ( blur, gaussian, median, and bilateral ) As usual this extension is header only, but a user would need to make the opencv headers and libs available for compiling and linking. You can download the extension here using subversion: http://gil-contributions.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/gil_2 The folder structure is the same as with all boost libraries. There are some tests that can be used for testing and for learning the rather simple interface. Only the vc8 compiler has been used so far and though I would like ask for some assistance for making the extension compilable with gcc, for instance. Please give me some insight of what you think and about what functionality you might miss. I started to toy around with Tom Brinkman's idea of stacking up operations to batch process them which you can see in the drawing_test.cpp. Regards, Christian BTW: OpenCV is distributed with the BSD license and if I understand wikipedia correctly there isn't any objection using it in commercial applications. "The BSD License allows proprietary commercial use, and for the software released under the license to be incorporated into proprietary commercial products. Works based on the material may even be released under a proprietary license (but still must maintain the license requirements)."[wikipedia]

Boost:Function bind to overloaded member
by James Sutherland 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

The following code does not compile: struct X { int foo(int i) { return ++i; } template<class T> void foo( T& t ); }; int main() { boost::function<int(int)> f; X x; f = boost::bind( &X::foo, &x ); std::cout << f(5) << std::endl; } I get the error message "no matching function for call to ‘bind(<unknown type>, X*)" If I remove the "template<class T> void foo" method then it compiles fine. Is there a way to tell boost::bind to choose the int foo(int i) method rather than the "template<class T> void foo" method? James

[fusion] join result
by Istvan Buki 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

Dear boost experts, I have difficulties using the fusion join algorithm result. Here is a small sample demonstrating the problem. namespace fields { struct one ; struct two ; } typedef fusion::map < fusion::pair< fields::one, std::string >, fusion::pair< fields::two, std::string > > rec_t ; int main() { rec_t r1( std::string( "1" ), std::string( "2" ) ) ; rec_t r2( std::string( "10" ), std::string( "20" ) ) ; typedef fusion::result_of::join< const rec_t, const rec_t >::type res_type ; res_type res = fusion::join( r1, r2 ) ; // Compile error! fusion::at_key< fields::two >( res ) = std::string( "200" ) ; std::cout << res << std::endl ; } I can not modify the map fields because they are const. I tried changing the result type from typedef fusion::result_of::join< const rec_t, const rec_t >::type res_type ; to typedef fusion::result_of::join< rec_t, rec_t >::type res_type ; but that doesn't work neither. Can somebody explain how to assign the result of a join to a variable that I can modify later using functions like at_key, erase_key,... ? Thanks

Retrieving parsed separators in boost::tokenizer

Hi, When I use multiple separator to tokenize a string with boost::char_separator<char> sep( ".,:;" ) as example, i'd like to know if there could be some to iterate parsed separators, just like we can iterate parsed tokens. In my case, I need to know, with a defined separators list, which are the most used in a user defined text. Thnx Carlos Alvarez

[boost-users][Multi-Index] crash in equal_range()
by Igor R 07 Jul '08

07 Jul '08

Hello, I've got a multi_index_container with few indices, as follows: struct Record { // some data }; typedef mi::multi_index_container< Record, mi::indexed_by< mi::ordered_non_unique<mi::tag<Record::stream>, mi::member<Record, int, &Record::streamID_> >, mi::ordered_non_unique<mi::tag<Record::setting>, mi::member<Record, int, &Record::settingID_> > > > Records; typedef Records::index<Record::stream>::type RecordsByStream; typedef Records::index<Record::setting>::type RecordsBySetting; Records records_; Then I insert 1 Record into records_. Later in the code I do the following lookup: RecordsBySetting bySetting = records_.get<Record::setting>(); std::pair<RecordsBySetting::iterator, RecordsBySetting::iterator> sameSetting = bySetting.equal_range(1); // record with setting id == 1 exists in the container! In the last line, in equal_range() I've got an exception (access violation). Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

asio problem
by River Tarnell 07 Jul '08

07 Jul '08

hi, sorry for the vague question, but i'm not entirely sure what the problem here is... i have a class hierarchy (has-a relationship) like this: fcgi_server_connection +-fcgi_application +-fcgi_cgi fcgi_server_connection has a tcp::socket 'server_socket'. fcgi_cgi has another tcp::socket, 'child_socket'. the program asynchronously reads messages from server_socket then writes them to child_socket, and reads messages from child_socket then writes them to server_socket. (there is some intermediate processing, but i don't think it affects the problem.) the problem occurs when deleting these connections. firstly, fcgi_server_connection is deleted. this deletes fcgi_application, which deletes fcgi_cgi. the sockets are member objects, so they are deleted as part of this. the actual problem is this: sometimes, after a socket is deleted, instead of oustanding read/write operations returning with asio::error::operation_aborted, they return with no error (error==0), but with socket.native() equal to -1. my understanding is that once the socket is deleted, all outstanding operations should be cancelled and operation_aborted should be returned. is this right? if so, what might cause the behaviour i'm seeing? and if not, what am i missing? thanks, - river.

boost::asio breaks my DLL

Hi, I am using boost 1.35 on MSVC2005, WinXP SP2, with the prebuilt boost libraries from www.boostpro.com. When trying to create a DLL, everything builds correctly. The DLL is correctly loaded by the exe, and the imported functions are visible. That is, until I add #include "boost//asio.hpp" to the DLL source. It still compiles and links, but at runtime I now get this error: LDR: LdrpWalkImportDescriptor() failed to probe x:\simon\Dev\xpworkingcopy\trunk\client\lib\Network.dll for its manifest, ntstatus 0xc0150002 This suggests the DLL has not had all its dependencies fulfilled, correct? I've tried putting boost_system-vc80-mt-gd-1_35.dll in my working directory, but no change. Can anyone help me? Thanks so much! Simon -- Linux Counter: User# 424693

When building should all the libraries have .dylib extensions on mac/unix?
by console shark 07 Jul '08

07 Jul '08

I just downloaded boost 1.35 and built the standard config. I have a collection of files in the /lib output folder that all end in .dylib. I am specifically interested in the python boost library, which is there as well. However the project that I am using that requires this library is expecting a file that ends with a .so extension. Being new to unix/mac I am assuming these are the equivalent differences between a .dll and .lib file on Windows? In any case how do I get the .so or static lib version of python boost? Many thanks

[Boost.Test] Compiling on Mac OS X
by Florian Winter 07 Jul '08

07 Jul '08

Hi, We have run into problems trying to compile Boost.Test on a Mac OS X 10.3 system using GCC version 3.3 (details below). We are using the "included" implementation of Boost.Test in a shared library that we build using our own build system. This works fine on various different platforms and compilers, however part of Boost.Test fails to compile on Mac OS X. We are including Boost.Test in our shared library in the following way: // Define this to declare all Boost.Test symbols as __declspec(dllexport) // rather than __declspec(dllimport). #define BOOST_TEST_SOURCE #define BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK #include <boost/test/included/unit_test.hpp> The compiler errors (see below) indicate that some symbols related to signal handling are undefined. Either, some required system headers are not included, or these symbols are not portable and not available on Mac OS X (10.3). Has this problem been encountered before? Is there an easy workaround for it, such as defining certain symbols before including the Boost.Test headers? Could it be somehow related to the way we are building Boost.Test? Furthermore, it would be interesting for us to know what the status of Boost.Test on Mac OS X is in general. Unfortunately, the "Portability" section in the documentation http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/libs/test/doc/portability.html as well as the rest of the documentation do not provide a lot of information regarding support for different platforms. Below, you will find the error messages that we got, as well as some information about our system and the version of Boost.Test that we used. Thanks in advance for any help.

[BGL] why not breakup put_get_helper into three structs?
by Mostafa 06 Jul '08

06 Jul '08

Helllo, I was wondering why put_get_helper shouldn't be three structs (put_helper, get_helper, put_get_helper, with the latter deriving from from the formers) instead of one? My rationale is outlined below along with the proposed code. //Begin Rationale Problem: want a helper method for readable property maps. Solution1: use exist boost::put_get_helper and just never use the put function. Problem with solution 1: 1) the put function will still be "callable", and 2) calling the put function will result in an invalid assignment to a read-only variable compiler error, which is cryptic to decipher, ie, that even though the put function does exist it should not be called. The only way to clarify this would be via documentation, which then brings about the problem of keeping code in sync with comments. Solution2: make a helper method for readable property maps that won't make the put companion function a valid function call, ie, break up boost::put_get_helper to put_helper, get_helper, and put_get_helper which derives from the latter two. Problems with solution 2: None that I can see. Advantages of solution 2: 1) It's self-documenting whether the put or get functions are intended to be called, ie if I derive from get_helper then it's self-evident that I shouldn't be calling the put function (vice versa); and 2) given the above scenario, even if by chance the put function get's called the compiler error message will be easier to decipher, ie, something along the lines of: <no matching function for call to ‘put(...)'>. 3) Not really an advantage, but ... backward compatibility is maintained. //End Rationale. //Proposed code adapted from boost/property_map.hpp // A helper class for constructing a property map // from a class that implements operator[] template <class RetVal, class RvaluePropertyMap> struct get_helper { }; template <class LvaluePropertyMap> struct put_helper { }; template <class RetVal, class LvaluePropertyMap> struct put_get_helper : public put_helper<LvaluePropertyMap>, public get_helper<RetVal, LvaluePropertyMap> { }; template <class PropertyMap, class RetVal, class K> inline RetVal get( get_helper<RetVal, PropertyMap> const & pa, K const & k) { RetVal v = static_cast<const PropertyMap&>(pa)[k]; return v; } template <class PropertyMap, class K, class V> inline void put( put_helper<PropertyMap> const & pa, K k, V const & v) { static_cast<const PropertyMap&>(pa)[k] = v; } Thanks in advance, -Mostafa

[build] Library suffix on mingw/win32
by John Femiani 06 Jul '08

06 Jul '08

I have used boost for some time on windows with msvc, but I am trying to install & use it with mingw-g++. I'm no gcc expert, but it seems that ld requires specific extensions for libraries, and bjam is not generating the right ones. In particular, under mingw, the flag -lboost_unit_test_framework Will match boost_unit_test_framework.lib (the import library for the dll) Or libboost_unit_test_framework.a But NOT libboost_unit_test_framework.lib Which is what bjam produces. Here is an approach that WONT work: Using -llibboost_unit_test_framework Or -llibboost_unit_test_framework.lib Fails because the leading 'lib' is automatically stripped out by ld. As a solution I just renamed all lib*.lib files to lib*.a, but something seems basically wrong with the situation. I don't know WHY bjam used a '.lib' suffix, since I built the libraries using gcc. The static libraries I generate from gcc should be linkable from gcc... I use mingw + msys to build boost as follows: 1) I installed MinGW Automated Installer, MingW GCC 4.3.0, and then MSYS via its installer. - this creates C:\MingW and C:\msys\1.0. The gcc-4.3.0 files are extraced into C:\mingw 2) I open the MSYS shell by running msys.bat 3) I fetch boost/trunk into my home directory using svn. 4) I run tools/jam/build_dist.sh to create bjam 5) I copy bjam.exe to /mingw/bin 6) from within the msys shell, I run bjam --toolset=gcc --layout=system --build-type=complete --prefix=/mingw When I am done, under /mingw/lib I have files with names like: boost_*.dll boost_*.lib libboost_*.lib In particular, the static libraries have a '.lib' suffix. I have googled and searched the boost site, and I can find issues related to mingw/etc but nobody else seems to have _this_ problem. Is there something I am just doing wrong here? BTW: --toolset=mingw failed to find the mingw toolset, but when I build with gcc is seems to know what to do. Thanks, --John Femiani

gcc 4.3 support planned for Boost 1.36 ?
by Ruediger Berlich 06 Jul '08

06 Jul '08

Hi there, just a short question whether support for gcc 4.3 is planned for Boost 1.36 ? I'm seeing some strange compilation problems with my application (bost with boost 1.35 and the current trunk version) when I use gcc 4.3.1 (on an OpenSUSE 11 box). These are not there when using Boost 1.34.1 or Boost 1.35 with gcc 4.2.1 (on OpenSUSE 10.3). Best, Rüdiger

New to Boost C++ - Dynamic Arrays
by Jean-Sebastien Stoezel 06 Jul '08

06 Jul '08

Hello, I am interested in supporting dynamic arrays in my C++ application. I read about STL, which somehow brought me to Boost C++... I see Boost C++ provides the Array library, which only seems to support static arrays... Does Boost C++ support dynamic arrays? Any example I could use to understand how this work? By any means, would this dynamic array library be thread safe? Thanks! Jean

[Boost.MultiIndex] Parameterizing multi_index_container on a template parameter
by Julius Ziegler 06 Jul '08

06 Jul '08

Hello, I am having problems using a multi_index_container in the context of a template class, and I am hoping someone here can help me. This is a condensed example: template<class T> struct C { typedef multi_index_container<T> SomeSet; SomeSet container; // I learned I need typename, since this is an implicit type typedef typename multi_index_container<T>::nth_index<0>::type SomeSetIndex; void f() { SomeSetIndex& index = container.get<0>(); } }; The typedef for SomeSetIndex did not compile. g++-4.2 reported (I stripped something from the message that I think is not relevant): error: non-template 'nth_index' used as template note: use 'multi_index_container<T, [stripped] >::template nth_index' to indicate that it is a template Now I (blindly) tried this declaration: typedef typename multi_index_container<T>::template nth_index<0>::type g++ gets past it, but now reports a syntax error in function f, when index gets initialised. Can someone please explain that first error message to me? Any help is appreciated. -J

[Threads] how to cross-compile boost.threads from cygwin to target win32?
by frederic.bron＠alcan.com 05 Jul '08

05 Jul '08

I have been using boost with success since 1 year on the following systems: 1) cygwin built with cygwin gcc/g++, 2) win32 built with cygwin gcc/g++ with -mno-cygwin flag, 3) linux built with both gcc/g++ or intel compiler. I now want to use boost.threads and I have discovered that the library was not automatically built for system 2), i.e. win32. How can I force bjam to compile for the target win32 using windows threads instead of cygwin pthread? It seems that there are some bjam options like target-os and threadapi but I could not get any documentation for it. What is the list of possible target-os or threadapi values? Regards, F.

BOOST_DYN_LINK
by Johan Råde 05 Jul '08

05 Jul '08

I'm using Boost 1.35 with VC 9.0 on Windows XP. I just tried to link dynamically with Boost. So I added #define BOOST_DYN_LINK to the first line of each StdAfx.h file. When the app links, I get the error message: LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_serialization-vc90-mt-gd-1_35.lib' It is trying to link with the static libraries. So I decided to take a look in the Boost docs. Well, I could not find anything anywhere about BOOST_DYN_LINK. How do I link dynamically with Boost, using the auto-link mechanism? Is BOOST_DYN_LINK the right way? --Johan

shared_ptr invalid covariant return type
by John 05 Jul '08

05 Jul '08

This pattern/idiom is well-established: struct A { virtual A* clone () = 0; }; struct B : public A { virtual B* clone (); }; But the above does not work when the pointers A* and B* are replaced by shared_ptr<A> and shared_ptr: struct A { virtual shared_ptr<A> clone () = 0; }; struct B : public A { virtual shared_ptr clone (); }; Is there a workaround? Another way to solve the same problem? Thanks! -John

Boost::Multi_array and reducing dimensions
by Joey Mukherjee 04 Jul '08

04 Jul '08

I am trying to use boost::multi_array and want to create a view where I am lowering the number of dimensions, but I wish the dimension to be reduced to be decided at runtime. I have a vector of integers and this vector size is the same as the number of dimensions. If the vector [1] value is -1, then the first dimension will have all values (i.e. range ()), otherwise it will be a number indicating what slice to use. You can see in case 2 what I have tried and maybe what I am trying to do. Case 3 and 4 I am hard coding the dimensions where I want all values, which does work, but I'd like to get rid of the hard-codedness and make this more generic. Furthermore, I have a one dimensional array of values which I am "converting" to a boost::multi_array so I can slice into it with the views. I won't know the dimensions until I read the data. Is there a better more generic way of doing this? Something like a pointer to a N-dimensional structure where I can just use the view? Thanks in advance for any ideas! Joey Here is my code: { double ret_val; typedef boost::multi_array_types::index_range range; const VariableInfo &vinfo = GetVariable (si._sensor); SubSensorType local_subsensors (si._subsensors); assert (local_subsensors.size () == vinfo._sizes.size ()); switch (vinfo._sizes.size ()) { case 0 : ret_val = vals [0]; break; case 1 : { // one-d array ret_val = (vals [whichPosition]); } break; // Now we get into slices, find the subsensor element that has -1, and // create a slice along that dimension case 2 : { // two-dimensional array typedef boost::const_multi_array_ref <double, 2> array_type; array_type::index_gen indices; array_type multi_array (&(vals [0]), vinfo._sizes); /* This doesn't work! array_type::const_array_view <1>::type OneDView; if (local_subsensors [0] == -1) OneDView = multi_array [indices [range ()] [local_subsensors [1]]]; else if (local_subsensors [1] == -1) OneDView = multi_array [indices [local_subsensors [0] [range ()]]]; ret_val = (OneDView [whichPosition]); */ } break; case 3 : { // three-dimensional array typedef boost::const_multi_array_ref <double, 3> array_type; array_type::index_gen indices; array_type multi_array (&(vals [0]), vinfo._sizes); array_type::const_array_view <1>::type OneDView = multi_array [indices [local_subsensors [0]] [local_subsensors [1]] [range ()]]; ret_val = (OneDView [whichPosition]); } break; case 4 : { // four-dimensional array typedef boost::const_multi_array_ref <double, 4> array_type; array_type::index_gen indices; array_type multi_array (&(vals [0]), vinfo._sizes); array_type::const_array_view <1>::type OneDView = multi_array [indices [local_subsensors [0]] [local_subsensors [1]] [local_subsensors [2]] [range ()]]; ret_val = (OneDView [whichPosition]); } break; default : assert (vinfo._sizes.size () < 4); } return (ret_val);

bjam: defining string literals HELP!!!!
by jono 04 Jul '08

04 Jul '08

hi, it would be really useful for me to be able to define a string literal in a Jamfile... eg: ===================================================== dll useful_variant : <template>useful src/modules/interpreter/useful_variant.cpp : # requirements <define>VARIANT <define>NAME="variant" ; ===================================================== gcc -DNAME=\"variant\" does what i want, so i've also tried <cxxflags>-DMODULENAME="variant" <cxxflags>"-DMODULENAME="variant"" <cxxflags>'-DMODULENAME="variant"' <cxxflags>"-DMODULENAME=\"variant\"" <cxxflags>"-DMODULENAME=\"\"variant\"\"" <cxxflags>"-DMODULENAME=""variant""" and various other hopeful monsters... but whatever i do, 'variant' appears in the source file as an identifier not a string. is it possible to achieve what i want with bjam??????????????????????????? cheers, and thanks in advance.
