[review] Gentle reminder - Fast track formal review of Boost.Functional/Factory will begin December 17
by John Torjo 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

Hi all, This is a gentle reminder of the Boost.Functional/Factory review, about to start next Monday. Factories are callback mechanisms for constructors, so we provide two function objects, boost::value_factory and boost::factory, that encasulate object construction through direct application of the constructor or operator new, respectively. These templates make other facilities that operate on function objects (such as standard algorithms, Boost.Bind, Boost.Function, or Fusion functional adapters) applicable to constructors. Get it from here: http://www.boost-consulting.com/vault/index.php?action=downloadfile&filenam… Best, John -- http://John.Torjo.com -- C++ expert ... call me only if you want things done right

Supporting Visual Studio 6 in boost
by Mathieu Malaterre 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

Hi there, This is not exactly a user question, but I was wondering if a couple of boost developers could comment on the support of VS6 in boost. How much time consuming is it ? Are there plan to actually drop it at some point ? Were there cases where you had to provide a duplicate implementation (partial specialization, template template parameter, SFINAE...) with slight modifications, therefore making the boost code more difficult to maintain ? How much did this compiler impact the design of boost API / internals ? Thanks for comments, -- Mathieu Ps: I know there are other buggy compilers out there that are also 'supported', feel free to also add comment for another difficult to support compiler.

Boost::Timer problem
by Simon Pickles 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

Hello, Using gcc on ubuntu, can anyone tell my why this simple code: ///////////////////////////////////////////////// #include <iostream> using namespace std; #include "boost/timer.hpp" #include <time.h> int main() { clock_t t = clock(); boost::timer bt; cout << t << " : " << bt.elapsed() << endl; sleep(10); t = clock(); cout << t << " : " << bt.elapsed() << endl; sleep(10); t = clock(); cout << t << " : " << bt.elapsed() << endl; return 0; } //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// produces output like this: 0 : 0 0 : 0 0 : 0 Its not cout, since pausing the program shows the values to be 0 in the watch window. Many thanks Simon -- Linux Counter: User# 424693

I specifically need to be able to support different archives, so this won't work - but I think something similar to what you have suggested will.

So actually, what I am thinking of is a kind of a mix of Robert's and Peter's suggestions (see code below). It is not the prettiest, but I think I should only have to do this for one class hierarchy in particular, so it isn't too bad. Thanks for your help.

boost::serialization - prevent object creation when loading a pointer
by Darryl Lawson 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

I realise that what I am doing is no doubt an unconventional usage of boost::serialization, but I wonder if any one has done a similar thing before. I wish to serialize a derived class through a baseclass pointer, but on deserilize I do not want the object to be created (I do not want memory allocated) - as the object will have all ready been created. An example, hopefully showing what I mean, is given at the end. The program will output something like, construct A, _m = 155640808 serialise A, _m = 155640808 construct A, _m = 155649400 serialise A, _m = 155649808 But essentially I want the program to output something lke, construct A, _m = 155640808 serialise A, _m = 155640808 construct A, _m = 155649400 serialise A, _m = 155649400 i.e. the second lot of construct A/serialise A will have the same address for _m. The reason why I need this behaviour, is that only a sub-set of the derived class will be seriliazed, with the other parts of the class intialised differently depending on the session, and the initialisation of the class is always done _before_ deserialisation. Is there anyway to get this behaviour from the boost::serialization library? Many thanks, Darryl Example ------- #include <fstream> #include <boost/archive/text_oarchive.hpp> #include <boost/archive/text_iarchive.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/export.hpp> using namespace std; struct base { virtual ~base() {} template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive& ar, const unsigned int version) {} }; struct derived : public base { derived() : base(), _value(0) {} template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive& ar, const unsigned int version) { boost::serialization::void_cast_register<derived, base>(); ar & _value; } int _value; }; BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT(derived); struct A { A() { _m = new derived; cout << "construct A, _m = " << (unsigned long)_m << endl; } template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive& ar, const unsigned int version) { // On deserialize this will create a new object, but I do not want it to, // rather I would like it to deserialize into the all ready created // object. ar & _m; cout << "serialise A, _m = " << (unsigned long)_m << endl; } base* _m; }; void save(const A& a, const char* filename) { std::ofstream ofs(filename); boost::archive::text_oarchive oa(ofs); oa << a; } void load(A& a, const char* filename) { std::ifstream ifs(filename); boost::archive::text_iarchive ia(ifs); ia >> a; } int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { A a; save(a, "archive.txt"); A new_a; load(new_a, "archive.txt"); return 0; }

statechart unit testing
by Sean Kelly 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

Hi All, I have statechart implementation that I have spread over multiple translation units - I would like to unit test the control logic by inserting mock transition actions. The library is explicitly designed not to be dynamic - Can anyone suggest a way I could accomplish this - Its also likely that I could reuse the statechart control logic with different implementations of transition actions so if it is possible to inject this dependency I can reuse the code. Thanks Sean

[logging] Re: Getting started problem (on behalf of Benjamin de Dardel)
by John Torjo 10 Dec '07

10 Dec '07

Hi Benjamin, From what you've explained in your mail, it seems that you're trying to use Boost.Logging from a DLL and an EXE as well. I need to know more details about your scenario. My suggestion: - defining the logs (BOOST_DEFINE_LOG) should happen in the DLL - declaring the logs (BOOST_DECLARE_LOG) should happen in both EXE and DLL - DO NOT define the logs in the EXEcutable as well Note that at this time if you do logging before initializing the logs, nothing will happen - I will fix this very soon. Note: there's some problem with your email address and I can't reply to you directly. Please fix it. Best, John -- http://John.Torjo.com -- C++ expert ... call me only if you want things done right

zero_vector, is it broken?
by Neal Becker 10 Dec '07

10 Dec '07

Either I completely misunderstand something, or zero_vector is seriously broken: #include <boost/numeric/ublas/vector.hpp> #include <iostream> #include <iterator> #include <algorithm> using namespace std; namespace ublas = boost::numeric::ublas; int main() { ublas::zero_vector<double> zeros (10); copy (zeros.begin(), zeros.end(), ostream_iterator<double> (cout, " ")); } I expect this to print 10 '0'. Instead, it prints nothing.

BGL Max flow min cut
by Line B. Reinhardt 10 Dec '07

10 Dec '07

Dear All I would like some help with graph structure for the edmund_karp max flow min cut function. I have a general graph in which I have many properties + edge and vertex. I sould like to run edmund karp on this graph however I have not been able to make the structure right for edmund karp and therefore I have made a second graph a flow graph. However I do not want to copy edges over every time I change something in the original graph. I was wundering if I could make it the same graph or just make the flow graph a filteret version of the original graph. The graphs are defined as follows:: original:: typedef boost::adjacency_list<boost::vecS, boost::vecS, boost::bidirectionalS, VertexProperties, EdgeProperties, GraphProperties> Graph; typedef boost::graph_traits<Graph> DirectedTraits; typedef DirectedTraits::vertex_descriptor DirectedVertex; typedef DirectedTraits::edge_descriptor DirectedEdge; typedef DirectedTraits::vertex_iterator VertexIterator; typedef DirectedTraits::edge_iterator DirectedEdgeIterator; typedef DirectedTraits::out_edge_iterator DirectedOutEdgeIterator; typedef DirectedTraits::in_edge_iterator DirectedInEdgeIterator; typedef boost::property_map<Graph, boost::edge_name_t>::type EdgeNameMap; flow graph:: typedef boost::adjacency_list_traits<boost::vecS, boost::vecS, boost::directedS> FlowTraits; typedef FlowTraits::edge_descriptor edge_descriptor; typedef FlowTraits::vertex_descriptor vertex_descriptor; typedef boost::adjacency_list<boost::vecS, boost::vecS, boost::directedS, boost::no_property, boost::property<boost::edge_capacity_t, double, boost::property<boost::edge_residual_capacity_t, double, boost::property<shipping_graph::vertex_start_indicator_t, double, boost::property<boost::edge_reverse_t, FlowTraits::edge_descriptor> > > > > FlowGraph; typedef boost::graph_traits<FlowGraph> DirectedFlowTraits; typedef DirectedFlowTraits::out_edge_iterator FlowOutEdgeIterator; typedef boost::property_map<FlowGraph, boost::edge_capacity_t>::type MaxEdgeWeightMap; Thanks for your help Line

write_graphviz problem
by Michał Nowotka 09 Dec '07

09 Dec '07

Hello, I'm boost newbie and have some problems with write_graphviz function. I've already asked this question but perhaps with bad subject so i try again. Sorry if you read this second time. In write_graphviz function documentation I can read that PropertyWriter can be used for print both: interior and exterior properties for each vertex of a graph into the graphviz format file. I can find some example of printing graph properties stored in property maps, for example calling: write_graphviz(std::cout, g, make_label_writer(name)); when the graph have 'name' property map. but how to do that when storing properies as bundled properies? I defined following graph: typedef adjacency_list<vecS, vecS, bidirectionalS, Vect_f, Edge_f> Graph; where: struct Vect_f { int factor; int lowlink; int component; int color; bool in_stack; }; struct Edge_f { int num_visited; int color_k; }; and I want to lay out and print my graph with coloured vertexes (I can always change the type of colour property for more suitable if necessary) but I dont't have any idea to do this. Is it possible at all? Cheers, Michał Nowotka

boost::filesystem: Problem with exists() and wpath (Linux)
by Andreas Henriksson 09 Dec '07

09 Dec '07

Hello Whenever I try to use exists() on a wpath, I get an exception. I'm running Arch Linux, with Boost 1.34.1 and Gcc 4.2.2, if it matters. Here is some code: #include "boost/filesystem.hpp" using namespace boost::filesystem; int main() { wpath test(L"whatever/path"); exists(test); return 0; } Which compiles fine, but gives me this error message on runtime: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost::filesystem::basic_filesystem_error<boost::filesystem::basic_path<std::basic_string<wchar_t, std::char_traits<wchar_t>, std::allocator<wchar_t> >, boost::filesystem::wpath_traits> >' what(): boost::filesystem::wpath::to_external conversion error Aborted Does anyone know what I am missing here?

boost::filesystem and mingw
by Lennart Wagner 09 Dec '07

09 Dec '07

Hi, I am using boost v1.34.1 and the "current" version of mingw. I got a problem (and solution) with the filesystem library: If the file convenience.hpp is included multiple times, mingw/gcc says: In function `ZN5boost10filesystem9extensionERKNS0_10basic_pathISsNS0_11path_traitsEEE':C:/Daten/Programme/Dev/boost_1_34_1/include/boost/filesystem/convenience.hpp:58: multiple definition of `boost::filesystem::extension(boost::filesystem::basic_path const&)' obj\Debug\Source\global.o:C:/Daten/Programme/Dev/boost_1_34_1/include/boost/filesystem/convenience.hpp:58: first defined here I can solve that (at least for me), if line 31 in convenience.hpp # define BOOST_FS_FUNC_STRING std::string is changed to # define BOOST_FS_FUNC_STRING inline std::string Another change I did to avoid an anoying warning is in line 45 boost::throw_exception( basic_filesystem_error<Path>( "boost::filesystem::create_directories", ph, -1 ) ); I changed the third parameter to 0, since it is unsigned. Have a nice day, Lennart

[serialization, boost::function] stateful function objects
by Ruediger Berlich 09 Dec '07

09 Dec '07

Hi there, I have a class that is being serialized in regular intervals. It contains a vector<shared_ptr<somefunctionObject> > . As the somefunctionObject objects can maintain state, I want to be able to serialize them along with the surrounding class. This works fine with the current design. I would find it much more pleasing to replace the above vector e.g. with a vector<boost::function<void(someType)> >. From the program logic this would have the same effect, but would be more elegant. I can not see, though, how serialization would work in this case. As far as I know it is not possible to retrieve the object back from boost::function. And it is also not possible to specify more than one interface to boost::function, e.g. in order to support two operator() with different signatures like this: "boost::function<void(someFunctionObkject), someFunctionObject(void)> f;" If that was possible, I could just give the function object a "clone" function and write my own (de-)serialization code. Any ideas ? Thanks and Best Regards, Ruediger Berlich

about some boost-config helper script
by François Mauger 08 Dec '07

08 Dec '07

Hi boost users, I'm new in the boost (amazing and powerfull) universe and had no time yet to explore archives about this topic. I have just installed the current version of boost libs on my laptop (no problem with it) but I have not found a dedicated helper config script (i.e. boost-config [--cflags|--libs...]) like the ones coming with the well-known packages used in high-energy physics (GSL, ROOT, CLHEP). It will help a lot if such a script was provided by the build process, at least for Unix-like systems. It is very useful within makefiles or whatever "manual" build scripts. Maybe someone can tell why this feature is not in boost (probably there is a good reason I'm not aware of) or if there are plans to provide it. Thank you very much for your kind comment. best regards frc -- Pr.

boost.proto optimization on MSVC (2005/2008)
by AJD 08 Dec '07

08 Dec '07

Hi, I've been trying out boost.proto lately and I've noticed that for my expressions it tends to force my operands to be created on the stack. For example, instead of optimizing out an object completely when everything about it is known at compile-time, the compiler (MSVC 2005 or 2008) is creating that object on the stack anyway.. even though it's not necessary. Even worse, it actually folds the simpler expressions at compile-time and never even touches the data that it just put on the stack. The problem is compounded with larger expressions involving many operands. It even seems to build the larger expression objects on the stack unnecessarily (and this looks like it starts to break constant folding). Here's some of the generated assembly: int main() { 00401800 sub esp,18h vector2< float[3] > v1 = { 0, 1, 2 }; 00401803 xorps xmm0,xmm0 vector2< float[3] > v2 = { 3, 4, 5 }; vector2< float[3] > v3 = { 6, 7, 8 };

[serialization] Thread safety
by Ruediger Berlich 08 Dec '07

08 Dec '07

Hi there, I remember that, a few months ago, there was a discussion that Boost.Serialization was currently only thread-safe when using g++ . I cannot find any specific information on this topic, however. I have distinct objects, each of which is serialized in its own (boost) thread and then sent over a network connection and deserialized at the other end. Seems to work fine, without synchronization between different serialization calls. I am using Boost 1.34.1 with Asio 0.3.8, together with threadpool 0.2.4. This is on an OpenSuSE 10.3 box with g++ 4.2.1 . Will I run into trouble when I port this to other compilers + platforms ? Thanks and Best Regards, Ruediger

Is there one out there or should I bite the bullet and make my own? Out of the box, 1.34.1 does not seem to recognize the compiler (trial of the final version, distributed by M$ a few days ago). Regards, ...Max...

[write_graphviz] PropertyWriter and bundled properties
by Michał Nowotka 07 Dec '07

07 Dec '07

In write_graphviz function documentation I can read that PropertyWriter can be used for print both: interior and exterior properties for each vertex of a graph into the graphviz format file. I can find some example of printing graph properties stored in property maps, for example calling: write_graphviz(std::cout, g, make_label_writer(name)); when the graph have 'name' property map. but how to do that when storing properies as bundled properies? I defined following graph: typedef adjacency_list<vecS, vecS, bidirectionalS, Vect_f, Edge_f> Graph; where: struct Vect_f { int factor; int lowlink; int component; int color; bool in_stack; }; struct Edge_f { int num_visited; int color_k; }; and I want to lay out and print my graph with coloured vertexes (I can always change the type of colour property for more suitable if necessary) but I dont't have any idea to do this. Is it possible at all? -- Michał Nowotka

[Boost][1.34.1] Wrong BOOST_VERSION value in jamrules file

07 Dec '07

Hello boost-users, Recently i was writing Win32 batch scripts which searches boost directory for version info by grep utility and discovered that Jamrules file in boost installation directory have strange value (from boost_1_34_1.zip): # The current version of Boost. BOOST_VERSION ?= 1.34.0 ; Is this correct value? Or where can i read correct boost version value? -- Best regards, Andry mailto:andry@inbox.ru

[boost-users] GCC-XML compile errors with boost/mpl/and.hpp

Gccxml does not seem to be able to handle the boost/mpl/and.hpp file. I have the most recent gccxml (retrieved the source tree and built it) and 1.34.1 boost.

[serialization] How to pass user defined flags?
by Robert Bielik 07 Dec '07

07 Dec '07

When loading an object via serialization I need to be able to load the object in different modes (which has nothing to do with its data). I tried making an ext_xml_wiarchive (inheriting xml_wiarchive) that adds a function to retrieve the mode, but the serialization template functions do not seem to be able to access that function. I know I'm missing something here... :( /R

[units] Problem building HTML documentation from QuickBook sources
by Torsten Mähne 07 Dec '07

07 Dec '07

Hello, I'm very interested in the Boost.Units library. I've been therefore trying to use the version, which is available from the Boost Sandbox SVN repository (Revision 41778): svn co http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/units boost_units I've no problems using the header-only Boost.Units library in my own small test programs, but I'm struggling to build the reference documentation located in libs/units/doc/. Therefore, I'm currently forced to use the outdated HTML documentation from the mcs_units_v0.7.2.zip archive available from the Boost file vault or read directly the units.qbk source. I'm using Boost.Units together with boost-1.34.1, which is unpacked in a parallel directory: $ ls boost-1.34.1 boost_units on my laptop running Debian Etch: $ uname -a Linux babylon5 2.6.18-5-686 #1 SMP Wed Oct 3 00:12:50 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux $ g++ --version g++ (GCC) 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21) After defining the environment variable: BOOST_BUILD_PATH=<absolute_path_to_boost-1.34.1>/tools/build/v2 and creating the following user-config.jam in $BOOST_BUILD_PATH, I was able to build the boost libraries itself, and the HTML and PDF documentation from their Boost.Book and Quickbook sources: #### Begin user-config.jam #### using gcc : 4.1 : g++-4.1 ; using xsltproc : "/usr/bin/xsltproc" ; using boostbook : "/usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/" : "/usr/share/xml/docbook/schema/dtd/4.2" ; using doxygen : "/usr/bin/doxygen" ; using fop : "/usr/bin/fop" : "/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.00" ; ##### End user-config.jam ##### I have to admit that I don't fully understand yet the boost.build system, but I achieved to create the necessary Jamroot file in boost_units/ (my working copy of the units library). It contains only #### Begin of Jamroot #### use-project boost : ../boost-1.34.1 ; ##### End of Jamroot ##### Then I was able to build the tests in libs/units/test and libs/units/test_headers. All tests in tests in libs/units/test and only the test for non_si_units.hpp fails in libs/units/test_headers. Judging from the #define error in this header, it seems to be expected. But running bjam in the libs/units/doc directory fails after outputting several times: runtime error: file /home/maehne/build/boost-1.34.1/tools/boostbook/xsl/docbook.xsl line 338 element element xsl:element: The QName 'xi:include' has no namespace binding in scope in the stylesheet; this is an error, since the namespace was not s pecified by the instruction itself.

Problem in using bundled properties with transitive closure
by abhishek.v＠tcs.com 07 Dec '07

07 Dec '07

Hi I m able to use the transitive closure using simple definition of adj_list as typedef adjacency_list <setS, vecS, bidirectionalS, property <vertex_name_t, std::string>, property <edge_weight_t, int> > Graph; and then calling transitive_closure(g, TC); graph_traits <Graph>::vertex_iterator vi, vend; for (tie(vi, vend) = vertices(TC); vi != vend; ++vi) { file_op << "\n " << vertices_name[*vi] ; } Gives me correct output. o/p :- A B C D Where A,B,C,D represent name of the vertices But when i try to the graph in bundled properties like struct Process { string name; }; typedef adjacency_list <setS, vecS, bidirectionalS,Process, property <edge_weight_t, int> > Graph; transitive_closure(g, TC); graph_traits <Graph>::vertex_iterator vi, vend; for (tie(vi, vend) = vertices(TC); vi != vend; ++vi) { file_op << "\n " << TC[*vi].name ; } Gives me correct output. o/p :- Means in the second case it returns me empty string for the name of the vertices what could be the reason for this.

[BGL] Property Map Types
by David A. Greene 07 Dec '07

07 Dec '07

When I define an adjacency_list with vecS for the VertexList and use bundled properties to store attributes, what is the time complexity of invoking operator[] on the graph object? Is it constant-time, logarithmic or something else? In other words, what's the underlying data structure used to store the mapping from vertex descriptor to bundle? I've been trying to play around with changing this data structure by specializing property_map and property_traits, something like this: // Define the graph and properties class vertex_property_bundle { ... }; // Define the property tag struct vertex_bundle_property_tag { typedef boost::vertex_property_tag kind; }; typedef boost::property<vertex_bundle_property_tag, vertex_property_bundle> vertex_property_type; typedef boost::adjacency_list<boost::vecS, // Out edge list type boost::vecS, // Vertex list type boost::undirectedS, vertex_property_type // Vertex properties // Edge properties > graph_type; // Specialize the graph property map to be a vector for // vecS vertex lists to make lookup faster template<typename EdgeListType, typename DirectedType> struct property_map<boost::adjacency_list< EdgeListType, vecS, DirectedType, vertex_property_type >, vertex_property_type> { typedef boost::adjacency_list< EdgeListType, vecS, DirectedType, vertex_property_type> graph_type; typedef std::vector<vertex_property_type> type; }; template <typename T> struct property_traits<std::vector<T> > { typedef unsigned long int key_type; typedef T value_type; typedef boost::lvalue_property_map_tag category; }; // overloads of the property map functions for vectors template<typename T> void put(vector<T> &pmap, unsigned long int k, const T& val) { if (pmap.size() <= k) { pmap.resize(k); } pmap[k] = val; } template<typename T> T& get(vector<T> &pmap, unsigned long int k) { assert(k < pmap.size() && "Property map overflow"); return pmap[k]; } template<typename T> const T& get(const vector<T> &pmap, unsigned long int k) { assert(k < pmap.size() && "Property map overflow"); return pmap[k]; } This isn't all compiling yet, but am I on the right track? Is this how things should be done for bundled properties? The documentation is very sparse here. I have a code that is spending significant time looking up properties and I'd like to optimize it as much as possible. Thanks for helping. -Dave

[GCC-XML] errors with boost header files
by Jenny Duan (TT) 06 Dec '07

06 Dec '07

Gccxml does not seem to be able to handle the boost/mpl/and.hpp file. I have the most recent gccxml (retrieved the source tree and built it) and 1.34.1 boost. I was told by GCCXML support that boost/config/compiler/gcc_xml.hpp needs to exist in order for GCXXML to process boost header files and this file does exist. Please see the content of it below. Can somebody please tell me why it's not working for me? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

shared_ptr and -> operator
by Damien Hocking 06 Dec '07

06 Dec '07

All, I'm replacing some standard C++ pointers with shared_ptrs. I've run into a small problem using shared_ptr with a pointer to member. With a really simple class: class TestObject{ public: TestObject():value_(-5.4){} ~TestObject(); double value_; }; Trying this: double TestObject::*dptr = 0; shared_ptr<TestObject> testPtr = shared_ptr<TestObject>(new TestObject()); testPtr->*dptr = 5.7456; On VS2005, I get an error on the ->*: error C2296: '->*' : illegal, left operand has type 'boost::shared_ptr<T>' This line is fine: (*testPtr).*dptr = 5.7456; Can anyone tell me why the compiler isn't converting boost::shared_ptr<TestObject> to a TestObject* through shared_ptr::operator-> ? I can live with dereferencing the testPtr, but I'd like to understand what's going on. Damien

boost::bind upgrading from 1.33.1 to 1.34.1 problem, part2
by sj＠sjcomp.com 06 Dec '07

06 Dec '07

Hello, Thanks Eric and Peter for the help with my previous question. Now I have another question. 1.34.1 does not allow me to compile the following code (it was fine on 1.33.1): struct CNode {void GetName(){}}; int main(int argc, char **argv){ typedef std::map<int, CNode> TPNodes; TPNodes Children; std::for_each( Children.begin(), Children.end(), boost::bind( &CNode::GetName, // Problem here boost::bind(&TPNodes::value_type::second,_1))); return 0; } I get this error: error C2440: 'argument' : cannot convert from 'const CNode *__w64 ' to 'CNode *const ' c:\src\boost_1_34_1\boost\bind\mem_fn_template.hpp 35 The code works if I have a map with pointers, but if I have instances then I have the error. It looks like I get a const value which was fine when a pointer was used. The question is how do I use algorithm on maps when I want to use only key or value? Thanks. -- Regards, Alexander. http://sjcomp.com

Boost & Singletons?
by Robert Dailey 05 Dec '07

05 Dec '07

Hi, I was wondering if the boost library had a class that I could derive my classes from to declare a singleton. For example: class MyClass : public boost::singleton<MyClass> {}; Something like that. I noticed there's a singleton.hpp in "boost\pool\detail", however this seems like an odd place for such a common and useful class. I'm actually a bit scared to use anything in a 'detail' folder, as usually (at least to me) that means private code or implementation details (not to be used). Is there a singleton type class in boost to help simplify the process of creating a singleton? Thanks.

shared_from_this from constructor
by Daniel P Furlani 05 Dec '07

05 Dec '07

Is there a way to call shared_from_this() from a constructor? It seems like a bad idea. Since the object is still being created, it would be difficult for anything to have a shared_ptr to it. And that violates a documented precondition of shared_from_this(): "There must exist at least one shared_ptr instance p that owns t." If it's not possible or just a bad idea, how about a note in the documentation at: http://www.boost.org/libs/smart_ptr/enable_shared_from_this.html to say something like: "Calling shared_from_this from a constructor will not work, since there is no shared_pointer which owns the object."? -dan

Say lets say i have container of regular type T. And lets say i want to insert them into ptr_vector by getting the keys. template< typename MapType, typename OutputIterator > OutputIterator getKeys(const MapType& map, OutputIterator out ) { typedef typename MapType::value_type map_type; typedef typename OutputIterator::value_type out_type; std::for_each(map.begin(), map.end(), boost::lambda::var(*out)++ = boost::lambda::construct<out_type>(boost::lambda::bind(&map_type::first, boost::lambda::_1)) ); return out; } Is it possble to do this. Assuming outputiterator is implemented for ptr_vector.

[review] Fast track formal review of Forward library begins today
by John Torjo 05 Dec '07

05 Dec '07

Hi all, The formal review of the Boost.Functional/Forward library, proposed by Tobias Schwinger, begins today : Boost.Functional/Forward provides decorator function objects to have an n-ary, generic function object accept both RValues and mutable LValues. An exponential number of overloads is needed with C98, so redundant solutions are highly undesirable. Functional/Forward is a reusable implementation asking to live in a central place in Boost. Download it from here: http://www.boost-consulting.com/vault/index.php?action=downloadfile&filenam… http://www.boost-consulting.com/vault/index.php?&direction=0&order=&directo… The documentation is included in the .zip file, in the usual place: forward/libs/functional/forward/doc/html/index.html What to include in Review Comments ================================== Your comments may be brief or lengthy, but basically the Review Manager needs your evaluation of the library. If you identify problems along the way, please note if they are minor, serious, or showstoppers. Here are some questions you might want to answer in your review: * 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. We're looking forward to your evaluation of this Boost candidate!

Hello, I'm upgrading from boost 1.33.1 to 1.34.1 and upgrade does not let me compile the following code: // CRefCounted provides functionality to CRefPtr to have // referenced pointers struct CNode: public CRefCounted { void GetName(){} }; int main(int argc, char **argv){ typedef CRefPtr<CNode> CPNode; typedef std::multimap<std::string, CPNode> TPNodes; TPNodes Children; std::for_each( Children.begin(), Children.end(), boost::bind( &CNode::GetName, // problem in the next line boost::bind(&TPNodes::value_type::second,_1))); return 0; } I get the following messages from MSVC8.0: error C2784: 'T *boost::get_pointer(const boost::shared_ptr<T> &)' : could not deduce template argument for 'const boost::shared_ptr<T> &' from 'const CPNode' error C2784: 'T *boost::get_pointer(const std::auto_ptr<_Ty> &)' : could not deduce template argument for 'const std::auto_ptr<_Ty> &' from 'const CPNode' error C2784: 'T *boost::get_pointer(T *)' : could not deduce template argument for 'T *' from 'const CPNode' If I replace CRefPtr with boost::shared_ptr the code compiles.

Here it is: template<typename T> class CRefPtr { private: T* m_ptr; public: CRefPtr(T* ptr=NULL) :m_ptr(NULL){ *this=ptr; } CRefPtr(const CRefPtr<T>& ptr) :m_ptr(NULL){ *this=ptr; } ~CRefPtr() { if (m_ptr) { m_ptr->DecrementReference(); m_ptr=NULL; } } CRefPtr<T>& operator=(T* ptr) { if(ptr!=m_ptr) { if(m_ptr) { m_ptr->DecrementReference(); } m_ptr=ptr; if(m_ptr) { m_ptr->IncrementReference(); } } return *this; } CRefPtr<T>& operator=(const CRefPtr<T>& ptr){*this=ptr.m_ptr;return *this;} T* operator->() const{return m_ptr;} T& operator*() const{return *m_ptr;} bool operator<(const CRefPtr<T>& obj)const{if(obj.m_ptr<this->m_ptr)return true;else return false;} T* get() const{return m_ptr;} operator T*()const{return m_ptr;} }; What am I missing? Some explanation on why I went this route. I am using CRefPtr instead of shared_ptr because full CNode class has a member CNode* m_Parent. I could not figure out how to use weak pointers, but if I use CRefPtr I can assign a simple pointer returned by GetParent() to a CPNode and it would still work, while I could not achieve this result with shared_ptr. Maybe someone can direct me to a place which explains how to handle such situations properly with shared_ptr. Thanks. -- Regards, Alexander. http://sjcomp.com

Re: [Boost-users] [asio] how to specify a timeout?

Yes, timeout and read event have two different callback, in read callback you have to m_timer->cancel() to avoid receive timeout also. ----- Messaggio originale ----- Da: Arkadiy Vertleyb <vertleyb(a)hotmail.com> A: boost-users(a)lists.boost.org Inviato: Martedì 4 dicembre 2007, 16:14:40 Oggetto: Re: [Boost-users] [asio] how to specify a timeout?

Is it possile to cancel read operation once timout has been recieved?

Iterator over values of std::map<K, V>
by John Kiopela 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

Hi all, I have been browsing through the docs, but I couldn't find anything useful. Does Boost have a std::map<K, V>::iterator adaptor which iterates over the values of the map only. That is, I would like to have an iterator of which operator*() function returns V, instead of std::pair<K, V>. My data is stored in a std::map<K, V> and I would to allow my users to iterate over the values. If it's not here, I'll make one myself. It shouldn't be that hard. Thanks in advance. Kind regards, John

Building Boost 1.33.0 with bjam --v2 failes under HP-UX 11.23

04 Dec '07

Hello all, I'm trying to build boost 1.33 64-bit libraries under HP-UX 11.23 with the help of gcc 4.1.1 thru bjam. I was confused trying to supply -mlp64 compiler and linker option to the gcc though bjam options. By default calling ``bjam'' uses Boost.Build v.1, and setting ``bjam --v2'' -- will do v.2. Uncommenting "using gcc ;" in ./tools/build/v2/ user-config.jam file led bjam to "learn" this toolset, but calling ``bjam --v2'' from the boost_1_33_0/ folder splashes this: # bjam --v2 gcc warning: Python location is not configured warning: the Boost.Python library won't be built Building Boost.Regex with the optional Unicode/ICU support disabled.

C++ Performance
by nisha kannookadan 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

Hi everybody Im a quite new boost user and I wonder, why C++ Program is so slow. I wrote a program, and I have the same program in Matlab, I expected that my C++ version is much faster, but its not. I use matrices, vectors, matrix- and vector proxies. Do some solving and compute calculations with prod, element_div, etc.. Is boost in general slower than matlab, should I use something else? Id be real happy about any help.

program_options: Printing description problem
by sj＠sjcomp.com 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

Hello, When I try to output options_description to cout (response to --help option, to show all available options) I get an assertion in in xstring header file. It's caused by execution format_paragraph function in option_description.cpp line 381. I narrowed down the problem to the length of the description for an option. This is the code: #include <boost/program_options.hpp> namespace po = boost::program_options; int main(int argc, char **argv){ po::options_description desc("t"); desc.add_options()("h", "1234567890qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnmQWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZ"); po::variables_map vm; po::store(po::parse_command_line(argc, argv, desc), vm); po::notify(vm); if(vm.count("h")){std::cout<<desc<<"\n"; return 1;} return 0; } If I remove last Z in the description of h parameter the program works, otherwise it crashes. If I replace the message with some words, meaning if spaces are present, it still crashes (that's how I originally discovered the problem). What am I doing wrong, or how can I avoid this situation (other than decreasing the length of the descriptions for all of my parameters). I'm using boost 1.33.1 (how can I find out what was done to program_options in 1.34.1?) and Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Professional. The project is compiled as Multi-threaded DLL Thanks. -- Regards, Alexander. http://sjcomp.com

Problems with boost::parameter macros &
by StephQ 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

I have the following 3 problems: 1) I can not use BOOST_PARAMETER_MEMBER_FUNCTION (and the const version) inside a template class. The following code: #include <boost/parameter.hpp> BOOST_PARAMETER_NAME(mu) BOOST_PARAMETER_NAME(sigma) template<class T1> class mah { private: int t1; int t2; public: BOOST_PARAMETER_MEMBER_FUNCTION( (void), set, tag, (optional (mu, *, 1) (sigma, *, 2) ) ) { t1 = mu; t2 = sigma; } }; int main() { mah<int> chissa; chissa.set( 2, 1 ); } Results in (with MSVC, similar error with gcc 3.4 cygwin): 1>c:\develop\essl_alpha\essl\test\parametertest1.cpp(27) : warning C4346: 'boost::parameter::aux::argument_pack<mah<T1>:: boost_param_params_27set<int>>::type' : dependent name is not a type 1> prefix with 'typename' to indicate a type 1> c:\develop\essl_alpha\essl\test\parametertest1.cpp(32) : see reference to class template instantiation 'mah<T1>' being compiled 1>c:\develop\essl_alpha\essl\test\parametertest1.cpp(27) : error C2923: 'mah<T1>::boost_param_result_27set' : 'boost::parameter::aux::argument_pack<mah<T1>:: boost_param_params_27set<int>>::type' is not a valid template type argument for parameter 'Args' 1>c:\develop\essl_alpha\essl\test\parametertest1.cpp(27) : warning C4346: 'mah<T1>::boost_param_result_27set::type' : dependent name is not a type 1> prefix with 'typename' to indicate a type 1>c:\develop\essl_alpha\essl\test\parametertest1.cpp(27) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'set' 1>c:\develop\essl_alpha\essl\test\parametertest1.cpp(27) : error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int 1>c:\develop\essl_alpha\essl\test\parametertest1.cpp(27) : warning C4183: 'set': missing return type; assumed to be a member function returning 'int' 2) I would like to create a class template for a "named tuple", something like: named_tuple<int,double,mu,sigma> n; // mu, sigma previously declared, maybe BOOST_PARAMETER_NAME? // should contain two variables of type int, double. Would be really nice if they are named exactly _mu and _sigma, so I need boost PP or something? n.set( _mu=1, _sigma=2.0 ); // set internal variables n.set( _mu=1 ); double x = n.get( _sigma ); n.get( _mu, _sigma ); // This returns a tuple with the internal values. I think a class like this could be really usefull, and it would be really nice to see tuples get this extension. IMHO they are very clear from a user point of view. The problem (apart from problem 1) is that the macro BOOST_PARAMETER_MEMBER_FUNCTION does not play nicely if I just put a template parameter (say N1 of named_tuple<T1,T2,N1,N2>) instead of mu in BOOST_PARAMETER_MEMBER_FUNCTION( (void), set, tag, (optional (mu, *, 1) (sigma, *, 2) ) Again I suspect I need boost PP or use directly ArgumentPack. 3) How should I consider the overloading of a BOOST_PARAMETER_MEMBER_FUNCTION? Is it fine to just write the following? class mah2 : public mah // mah as before but with no templates. { public: template<class A1, class A2> void set( A1 a1, A2 a2 ) // need to supply defaults here... { mah<int,int>::set( a1, a2 ); } }; As usual any help is extremely appreciated. Thank you in advance. Best Regards StephQ

hi, is their anyway where i can use boost foreach to iterate through two different containers at once. Like I have two vector of float and i want to iterate through them parallell.. (not using indexing.. since it doesn't work with all types). Thanks. Something that is equalivent to python, for x,y in xArray, yArray: # do some awesome stuff. print x, y

serialization of vector of pointers
by Stathis 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

Hi, What is the right way to serialize/deserialize a container of pointers, e.g. std::vector< int* > ? I want to store the values, not the addresses in this case. Should I just flatten my data and store it in a different fashion, then read the flat data and build my objects with a builder? I ended up storing the size of the container in a separate variable before the data, when serializing. Then when deserializing, I use this size value to scale the container, create new ints, read their individual values via the deserialized data values and finally store them back to the new object. Can you give an example of how to do this better? cheers, --stathis

[serialization] Can binary-objects be trackable ?
by Youhei Murakami 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

Hello everyone. I found a description pasted below in boost/serialization/binary_object.hpp. Does this description means that binary-objects can't track ? [ in binary_object.hpp ] // don't track binary objects - usually they will be created on the stack // and tracking algorithm (which uses the object address) might get // confused. note that these address will likely be members of some // other structure which itself is tracked, so as a practical matter // suppressing tracking shouldn't cause any redundancy.

Copying types from a mpl vector to a fusion vector
by Germán Diago 02 Dec '07

02 Dec '07

Hello. I'm trying to build a library and I'm doing heavy use of boost mpl and fusion libraries. I'd like to know a way to fill a boost::fusion::vector<> with the types contained in a boost::mpl::vector. Anyone knows how to do this? The code I have so far: template <class T1, class T2, class T3, class T4, class T5, class T6, class T7, class T8, class T9, class T10> struct Func { //This is the initial sequence typedef typename boost::mpl::vector<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8, T9, T10> sequence; //The sequence without NullTypes typedef typename boost::mpl::filter_view<sequence, boost::mpl::not_<boost::is_same<NullType, boost::mpl::_1> > >::type validsequence; //The vector I want to fill with validsequence. Note that this is a fusion vector, not a mpl vector typedef boost::fusion::vector<> voidvector; /***************PROBLEM HERE*******************/ //I want to copy validsequence types into voidvector typedef typename somewaytocopy::type type; }; Thanks in advance.

[regex] problem with regular expression
by John Kiopela 02 Dec '07

02 Dec '07

Hi all, I am having some troubles with making a regular expression to parse a file of financial data. First, the file looks like this (simplified): BEGIN FINANCIAL INFORMATION 0 4 John (the name is mentioned somewhere between the two tags) 6 3 8 END FINANCIAL INFORMATION BEGIN FINANCIAL INFORMATION 0 David 6 8 END FINANCIAL INFORMATION BEGIN FINANCIAL INFORMATION 2 4 7 4 0 3 John 6 8 END FINANCIAL INFORMATION I want to create a regular expression which gives me all financial informations of John. My first try was: "BEGIN FINANCIAL INFORMATION.*?John.*?END FINANCIAL INFORMATION" The problem here is that the second ".*?" also matches "END FINANCIAL INFORMATION", which means that the following substring is also a match: BEGIN FINANCIAL INFORMATION 0 David 6 8 END FINANCIAL INFORMATION BEGIN FINANCIAL INFORMATION 2 4 7 4 0 3 John 6 8 END FINANCIAL INFORMATION Can somebody please help me with this regular expression? I'm trying to find out how I can type "any character except the string 'END FINANCIAL INFORMATION'", but without succes so far. Thanks in advance. Kind regards, John

boost-users [boost lambda, boost foreach]
by chun ping wang 02 Dec '07

02 Dec '07

Hi, lets say i have two arbitary container of any stl type. template < class T, template <typename ELEM, typename = std::allocator<ELEM> > class CONT > typename boost::enable_if<boost::is_floating_point<T>, T>::type getManhattanDistance(const CONT<T>& ObjectX, const CONT<T>& ObjectY) I want to be able to iterate through both containers to get the euclidean distance.. i.e. sqrt of sum of each item in ObjectX - ObjectY square. Psuedocode looks like this.. /*********************************************** * getManhattanDistance(ObjectX, ObjectY) * * overAllSum <-- 0 * * for i <-- 0 to sizeof (ObjectX) * * Xn <-- ObjectX[i] * * Yn <-- ObjectY[i] * * difference <-- (Xn - Yn) * -1 * * overAllSum <-- overAllSum + difference * ***********************************************/ but i want to make it as abstract (allowing nonindexable containers) but also clear as possible without losing speed. Whats the best way to do this using boost library.

Sequence modifying routines??
by John Femiani 01 Dec '07

01 Dec '07

Is there a reason that fusion seems devoid of sequence modifying routines except for the built-in assignment operators? For instance, if I wanted to operate on boost::array, I would seem to have no way to write the results back into an array through fusion (unless I miss something). I am looking for something like copy(input_sequence, output_sequence) -- John Femiani

BGL : maximum weighted matching
by Alessio Dore 01 Dec '07

01 Dec '07

Dear all, I am implementing an algorithm for which I would need to compute the maximum weighted matching of a bipartite graphs. I have seen that LEDA libraries has this sort of functions but their license is restrictive. BGL allows maximum cardinality matching but, if I understood well, it works for non-weighted graphs. In a previous message on this list it was mentioned that this functionality could have been added but I didn't find it. Is it available? Does anyone of you know if there are other libraries to perform it? Thanks. Regrads, Alessio

[statechart] context sensitive history
by Chris Paulse 01 Dec '07

01 Dec '07

I have the following requirement: States A and B, where B has two substates B1 and B2. When transition occurs from B to A, and then from A back to B, under some conditions it is desired for B1 to be the initial substate, while in others we would like the substate to be chosen based on B's shallow history. Is there a concise way to obtain this behavior from the statecharts library? Thanks, Chris

Serialization: Visual C+ Template Bug ?
by Oliver Kania 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

Hello ! When linking a program that consists only of main.cpp with a library that serializes a class "Palo Cllient" I get the following message (sry for the mess): ================================================== error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "private: void __thiscall jedox::palo::PaloClient::serialize<class boost::archive::text_oarchive>(class boost::archive::text_oarchive &,unsigned int)" (??$serialize@ Vtext_oarchive@archive@boost@@@ PaloClient@palo@jedox@@AAEXAAVtext_oarchive@archive@boost@@I@Z) referenced in function "public: static void __cdecl boost::serialization::access::serialize<class boost::archive::text_oarchive,class jedox::palo::PaloClient>(class boost::archive::text_oarchive &,class jedox::palo::PaloClient &,unsigned int)" (??$serialize@ Vtext_oarchive@archive@boost@@VPaloClient@palo@jedox@@@ access@serialization@boost@@SAXAAVtext_oarchive@archive@2@AAVPaloClient@ palo@jedox@@I@Z) ================================================== This happens even though I do NOT explicitly serialize anything. Main.cpp includes: #include <boost/archive/text_oarchive.hpp> #include <boost/archive/text_iarchive.hpp> For the class PaloClient, I do use the Pimpl idiom and serialize as it is recommended in the documentation: PaloClient.cpp: -------------------------------------------------------------- #include <boost/archive/text_oarchive.hpp> #include <boost/archive/text_iarchive.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/scoped_ptr.hpp> .... template<class Archive> void PaloClient::serialize( Archive &ar, const unsigned int version ) { ar & m_PaloClientImpl; } template void PaloClient::serialize<boost::archive::text_iarchive>( boost::archive::text_iarchive & ar, const unsigned int file_version ); template void PaloClient::serialize<boost::archive::text_oarchive>( boost::archive::text_oarchive & ar, const unsigned int file_version ); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Now, when I change this to void PaloClient::serialize(boost::archive::text_iarchive & ar, const unsigned int file_version) { ar & m_PaloClientImpl; } void PaloClient::serialize (boost::archive::text_oarchive & ar, const unsigned int file_version) { ar & m_PaloClientImpl; } The linkage error disappears. I guess this is a Visual C++ compiler problem but I wanted to post this in case someone else has similar problems.

boost::serialization and boost::shared_ptr are not working on tree data structure uses PIMPL idiom
by Youhei Murakami 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

Hello everyone. I tried to serialize tree data structure. Tree-structure's "node"-class holds "Impl"-structure and Impl-structure holds child nodes as vector<shared_ptr<node> >. Problems occur when serializing a tree structure that was constructed using above structures. Compile errors not occur, but run-time error occures at serialization of input-stream.

mpl::vector to boost::function
by Michael Linck 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

This my first attempt at using the boost::mpl library, so I may be off on the wrong track. If that's the case, please let me know and I'll come up with a different way to solve my problem. This seemed like a good practice case though. I'm trying to write a class that can test a function (eventually any function). The idea is that you specialize some number of arguments ( up to ten ) and then hand it a function. Then you feed "test cases" into it, which consist of arguments and an expected result. It seemed to me that TMP might be the key avoid having to write the template class 10 times (once for each number of template parameters). I thought it would look something like this: template<typename TestResultTA, typename TestInput1TA, typename TestInput2TA = void, typename TestInput3TA = void, typename TestInput4TA = void, typename TestInput5TA = void, typename TestInput6TA = void, typename TestInput7TA = void, typename TestInput8TA = void, typename TestInput9TA = void, typename TestInput10TA = void> class TestScenario { typedef boost::mpl::vector<TestInput1TA, TestInput2TA, TestInput3TA, TestInput4TA, TestInput5TA, TestInput6TA, TestInput7TA, TestInput8TA, TestInput9TA, TestInput10TA> TenArgs; typedef typename boost::mpl::find<TenArgs, void>::type FirstUnusedArg; typedef typename TenArgs::erase<TenArgs, FirstUnusedArg, TenArgs::end> JustTheArgs; // I know this is non-sense but what should go here? typedef boost::function2<TestResultTA, JustTheArgs> TestFunctionTS; . . . So far so good. I have a type that is a vector of the subset of template arguments that are initialized. I've thought about maybe trying to use #defines and recursion to create a template argument string for the boost::function, or something. That seems totally hideous, likely to fail, and my coworkers wouldn't accept it as maintainable code anyway just because of the #defines' presence. Is there an elegant way to go from a vector of types to an argument list for another template? I would have to use this mechanism to also specialize various other functions, like the one that accepts sets of arguments, and some kind of struct for holding those arguments at run-time. Thank you, mike

suspected bug
by Laurence Bunnage 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

I am currently maintaining a project written using Borland C++ Builder version 6 build 10.166 and boost version 1.32. I found I had a reoccuring problem in my code whereby the output from lexical_cast<string>(any_double) was not at the precision I was expecting. It started off OK, but after a while it changed. I have tracked it down to some of my code which I simplified to that shown below. The first cast, in the try block, works correctly with the output value d = 5.0 and no assert The second cast, in the catch statement, returns a value of d = 5.00000013628211 and asserts. With the assert removed, all subsequent calls to lexical_cast continue to give similar results. try { double d = boost::lexical_cast<double>(boost::lexical_cast<std::string>(5.0)); assert(d == 5.0); throw std::runtime_error("Not enough points in peak"); } catch (std::exception& e) { double d = boost::lexical_cast<double>(boost::lexical_cast<std::string>(5.0)); assert(d == 5.0); } I have searched the boost website for similar problems and have not found anything (doesn't mean it's not there, just I haven't found it) Any help, especially a solution or work around would be greatly appreciated. NOTE at this time, due to the current state of the project, I would prefer not to have to upgrade to a newer version of the boost library.

Library & Header file paths on Windows with Boost
by jayc.lawrence＠gmail.com 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

Hi, This post is not really 100% boost specific but I am trying to compile using boost libraries and I thought I'd give this newsgroup a shot. I want to know what have others done to avoid the circles I've gone in to get this simple program compiled. I compiled boost to "c:\boost\" and I have my MinGW installed in "c:\devel\MinGW\" however if I attempt to compile using: g++ -v -Ic:\boost\ simplels.cpp -Lc:\boost\lib\ -lboost_filesystem-mgw34-d-1_34_1 It would result in failing to include the header files and I noticed: ignoring nonexistant directory "c:/boost/" Am I going crazy here or does it appear that the compiler cannot access anything beyond its default include paths? So I tested it out... I made a directory in MinGW called "test" and used the following command line: g++ -v -Ic:\devel\MinGW\test\ headertest.cpp And still no header files.. It resulted in: ignoring nonexistant directory "c:/devel/MinGW/test/" I thought i'd add it my windows %path% too but still had exactly the same problem. So I finally resorted to putting the header files in the MinGW/GCC include directory and the library files in the MinGW/GCC library directory.. et voila! it compiled. But this isn't ideal for me, anyone got any tips where I'm going wrong here cause sure it's compiling now but.. I like to keep things relatively tidy on here! Best, Jay

Boost Asio within dotnet app : "Acces denied"
by Guillaume Baranger 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

Hello, I need to create a server in dotnet application. I am using boost 1.33.1, asio 0.3.8 and vc++ 7.1 . The following code raises an "access denied" exception in a dotnet application. I have tested the same simple code in native c++ application, and it works. Do you have any idea how to resolve my problem? Is there a way to use asio in a dotnet application? try { asio::io_service io_service; asio::ip::tcp::acceptor acceptor(io_service); asio::ip::tcp::endpoint endpoint(asio::ip::tcp::v4(), 35454); acceptor.open(endpoint.protocol()); acceptor.set_option(asio::ip::tcp::acceptor::reuse_address(true)); // exception thrown here acceptor.bind(endpoint); // exception thrown here if previous line in comment acceptor.listen(); } catch(std::exception& excep) { MessageBox::Show(excep.what(),S"",MessageBoxButtons::OK,MessageBoxIcon::Erro r); } Regards, Baranger Guillaume

[Boost.Array] surprising performance issue
by Bryan Green 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

Hello, I've discovered a situation where using boost::array results in a 2-fold performance degradation over other array types, including C arrays, tr1::array, and a simple handwritten array class. While the tr1::array performs well, I was suprised to find that it pads the array, so sizeof(tr1::array<3,float>) == sizeof(tr1::array<4,float>). Is that a requirement of tr1::array? Anyway, the performance problem can be seen using Intel C++ (v9.1) on the Itanium platform, using '-O3' optimization. I'm forced to take boost::array out of my computation's inner loop. Is this a previously known issue? Any ideas why this performance discrepancy might exist? Thanks, Bryan Green

[dataflow] version 0.8.1: runtime reflection, dataflow network modeling via BGL...
by Stjepan Rajko 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

Hello everyone, I have uploaded a new version of the dataflow library to the vault (in the Dataflow directory), and updated the docs at: http://dancinghacker.com/code/dataflow/ The new version introduces the Dataflow.Blueprint layer, which provides runtime reflection of components/ports, as well as modeling and analysis of dataflow networks via BGL. This new layer is still full of hacks, its documentation is limited to a messy example, but I'm excited about having started it. This version also has some documentation updates and some additional examples (such as a little image processing dataflow example using Boost.GIL). If anyone is interested, my roadmap to requesting review looks like this: * add lots and lots of docs. * bring the Dataflow.Blueprint to some reasonably usable state. * move functionality from the overabused Port-related concepts into the Component concept, which should clean up and simplify the concepts dramatically. With this, I think the library will be in decent shape to request a review (it will have one dataflow framework modeling the generic concepts - Dataflow.Signals, and one layer built on top of the concepts, - Dataflow.Blueprint). My goal is to get there in the next month (which is only 5 months after GSoC close! :-)) By the time it actually gets to be reviewed, I hope to also add in another dataflow framework that would in some way address the things currently missing from this library (there are many). Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks to Phil Endecott, Pavel Vozenilek, John Torjo, Roland Schwarz and Neal Becker for their helpful feedback on the previous version. Regards, Stjepan

BGL: edge index and bundled properties
by Salvatore Domenick Desiano 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

After several hours of reading the newsgroups and working backward through BGL header files, I've accepted that I need help. I have a graph with bundled properties. The edge properties include and index. I can't, for the life of me, figure out one thing: How do I get algorithms (e.g., those in subgraph) to see the edge index as a edge_index_t property? My code is fairly simple (though my failed attempts at getting subgraph, et al, to find the edge index have been long). Formatted for brevity: struct _Vertex_Data { unsigned index; unsigned blob_id; }; struct _Edge_Data { unsigned index; unsigned count; }; typedef adjacency_list<setS,setS,undirectedS,_Vertex_Data,_Edge_Data> _BGL_Graph_Base; struct _Graph_Base : public _BGL_Graph_Base { typedef my_graph_tag graph_tag; }; typedef subgraph<_Graph_Base> _Graph; my_graph_tag is left over from a previous attempt, but I suspect it will be required to get this to work. I've tried overloading the property selectors, but I keep hitting a wall. I have seen ways to do this with the older property structure, but my bundled properties will eventually be elaborate, so I'd like to use this mechanism. I hope the BGL gurus are still around... the "classic" e-mails seem old... Thank you for your time and help. -- Sal smile.

Interval library
by john 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

Hello, I am trying to use the Interval library to solve boolean expressions like this: (I1 AND I2) or I3, where I1, I2 and I3 are intervals. I can get the AND part with the intersect function. I can guess the OR part if there is any intersection or not (and then use hull). I handle the priorities myself (I split the expression with Spirit). This expression can be easily solved. My problem is working with big expressions including OR. For example if I have "(I1 OR I2) AND I3" I cannot call intersect( I1|I2, I3). This is easy as it is a small expression, but when it gets to 10+ members... Is there anything I can do ? Is there any way to 'combine' intervals (ie keeping the union somewhere)? I believe this is easy to solve, I just don't know where to look for. Thank you, John

MPL & Shared Libraries
by Robert Dailey 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

Hi, I heard from someone that when building a shared library (DLL file), the compiler will not do the same processing of MPL code that it would do for an EXE. For example: struct Foo { static const float val = 1.5f; }; When exporting the 'Foo' class to a shared library, what will become of the 'val' member? Is just the number "1.5f" written out or what? I've given a very simple example, but the more complex example expands into the boost::mpl library, which follows the same concepts.

Boost. Parameter and deduced constructor ?
by StephQ 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

Thank you for your previous help with the Boost. Parameter library, I have been able to solve my problem. I would like to know if is it possible in any way to exploit the Boost. Parameter library to get a template class with a constructor that automatically deduce the correct template parameters. If not I would like to know if there exist a convenient way to minimize the pain resulting from template classes. For example now I have to write: VariateSampler< GaussianDistribution, MersenneTwisterPseudoRng> gaussianSampler( myGenerator, GaussianDistribution() ); Creating a make_VariateSampler function alone does not buy me anything. I would like to write: I would really like to write: VariateSampler<> gaussianSampler = make_VariateSampler( myGenerator, GaussianDistribution() ); VariateSampler<> poissonSampler = make_VariateSampler( myGenerator, PossionDistribution() ); and gaussianSampler and poissonSampler be of different types (deduced from the rhs): gaussianSampler of type VariateSampler<MersenneTwisterPseudoRng,GaussianDistribution> and poissonSampler of type VariateSampler<MersenneTwisterPseudoRng,PoissonDistribution> Now, these types are not complicated, but I am using a template decorator approach to modify the behaviour of these samplers and the resulting types are too nasty for anyone to write them. How could I improve the situation? Something like boost::function for classes? The point is that I (the user) could not care less about these types, only the sampler class needs to know them to operate correctly. Do I have necessarily to create them (via a make_VariateSampler) and pass them on the fly where needed? Thank you StephQ

boost::serialization binary archives not portable?
by Daniel Oberhoff 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

Hi, I have a problem with boost::serialization in that I cannot transport binary archives between my macbookpro (osx 10.4 latest update) and my dell box at work (ubuntu gutsy with universe). As a test I just serialized a 10-byte binary object. Has anyone else been moving binary archives between different platforms? here are the stacktraces up to the exception throws Moving from ubuntu to osx I get this #7 0x0001bcc8 in boost::throw_exception<boost::archive::archive_exception> () at libs/serialization/src/basic_serializer_map.cpp:52 #8 0x0000f104 in boost::archive::basic_binary_iarchive<boost::archive::binary_iarchive>::init (this=0xbfffeec8) at ./boost/archive/impl/basic_binary_iarchive.ipp:54 #9 0x0000f20b in boost::archive::binary_iarchive_impl<boost::archive::binary_iarchive, char, std::char_traits<char> >::init (this=0xbfffeec8, flags=0) at ./boost/archive/binary_iarchive_impl.hpp:51 #10 0x0000f4a4 in boost::archive::binary_iarchive_impl<boost::archive::binary_iarchive, char, std::char_traits<char> >::binary_iarchive_impl (this=0xbfffeec8, is=@0xbfffec30, flags=0) at ./boost/archive/binary_iarchive_impl.hpp:80 #11 0x0001862d in boost::archive::binary_iarchive::binary_iarchive () at libs/serialization/src/basic_serializer_map.cpp:52 #12 0x00002bda in main () the other direction: #4 0x00002b41bac2d773 in std::terminate () from /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 #5 0x00002b41bac2d85a in __cxa_throw () from /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 #6 0x00002b41babc944a in std::__throw_length_error () from /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 #7 0x00002b41bac0cda2 in std::string::resize () from /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 #8 0x00000000004339de in boost::archive::basic_binary_iprimitive<boost::archive::binary_iarchive, char, std::char_traits<char> >::load (this=0x7ffff015afe0, s=@0x7ffff015ad50) at ./boost/archive/impl/basic_binary_iprimitive.ipp:96 #9 0x0000000000433a23 in boost::archive::load_access::load_primitive<boost::archive::binary_iarchive, std::string> (ar=@0x7ffff015afd0, t=@0x7ffff015ad50) at ./boost/archive/detail/iserializer.hpp:96 #10 0x0000000000433a43 in boost::archive::detail::load_non_pointer_type<boost::archive::binary_iarchive, std::string>::load_primitive::invoke (ar=@0x7ffff015afd0, t=@0x7ffff015ad50) at ./boost/archive/detail/iserializer.hpp:339 #11 0x0000000000433a63 in boost::archive::detail::load_non_pointer_type<boost::archive::binary_iarchive, std::string>::invoke (ar=@0x7ffff015afd0, t=@0x7ffff015ad50) at ./boost/archive/detail/iserializer.hpp:414 #12 0x0000000000433a83 in boost::archive::load<boost::archive::binary_iarchive, std::string> (ar=@0x7ffff015afd0, t=@0x7ffff015ad50) at ./boost/archive/detail/iserializer.hpp:561 #13 0x0000000000433aae in boost::archive::detail::common_iarchive<boost::archive::binary_iarchive>::load_override<std::string> (this=0x7ffff015afd0, t=@0x7ffff015ad50) at ./boost/archive/detail/common_iarchive.hpp:59 #14 0x0000000000433ad3 in boost::archive::array::iarchive<boost::archive::binary_iarchive>::load_override<std::string> (this=0x7ffff015afd0, x=@0x7ffff015ad50, version=0) at ./boost/archive/array/iarchive.hpp:122 #15 0x0000000000433afb in boost::archive::basic_binary_iarchive<boost::archive::binary_iarchive>::load_override<std::string> (this=0x7ffff015afd0, t=@0x7ffff015ad50) at ./boost/archive/basic_binary_iarchive.hpp:62 #16 0x0000000000433b23 in boost::archive::binary_iarchive_impl<boost::archive::binary_iarchive, char, std::char_traits<char> >::load_override<std::string> (this=0x7ffff015afd0, t=@0x7ffff015ad50) at ./boost/archive/binary_iarchive_impl.hpp:45 #17 0x0000000000433b50 in boost::archive::detail::interface_iarchive<boost::archive::binary_iarchive>::operator>><std::string> (this=0x7ffff015afd0, t=@0x7ffff015ad50) at ./boost/archive/detail/interface_iarchive.hpp:63 #18 0x0000000000433b87 in boost::archive::basic_binary_iarchive<boost::archive::binary_iarchive>::init (this=0x7ffff015afd0) at ./boost/archive/impl/basic_binary_iarchive.ipp:52 #19 0x000000000040c8ee in boost::archive::binary_iarchive_impl<boost::archive::binary_iarchive, char, std::char_traits<char> >::init (this=0x7ffff015afd0, flags=0) at ./boost/archive/binary_iarchive_impl.hpp:51 #20 0x000000000040c971 in binary_iarchive_impl (this=0x7ffff015afd0, is=@0x7ffff015b790, flags=0) at ./boost/archive/binary_iarchive_impl.hpp:80 #21 0x000000000040c9db in boost::archive::binary_iarchive::binary_iarchive () at ./boost/archive/codecvt_null.hpp:48 #22 0x0000000000405518 in main () daniel

Follow-up on 64 bit boost
by Phil Hystad 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

Yet another question on 64 bit boost (follow-up)... Can someone confirm that boost builds OK on Windows 64 bit platforms and if the "address-model=64" instruction applies to the somewhat confusing (to me) 64 bit Windows architecture. Thanks for the confirmations on Red Hat 64 bit. 73, phil phystad(a)mac.com

Re boost::bind
by Martin Fisher 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

I'm trying to use boost::bind - and I'm probably doing something very obviously wrong, but code blindness has set in. A simple example: I have class X { public: void t(int a, int b) { cout << a * b << endl; } }; then in main... vector<int> v; // filled with some ints for_each(v.begin(), v.end(), boost::bind(&X::t, _1, 4)); // or _1, 4 But this doesn't compile - using Borland Turbo C++ (or Visual C++) Elsewhere in my code I use for_each(istream_iterator<string>(f), istream_iterator<string>(), boost::bind(Inserter<T>(), boost::ref(m), _1)); Which works just fine... I'm sure it's something strikingly obvious - but as far as I can see I'm doing much the same as in the docs ? Thanks for any comments. Martin

vs2005, intel10.1, autolinking libs
by Hicham Mouline 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

Hi, I built a 64bit release version of Boost.Test with intel10.1 64bit compiler. bjam -with-test -toolset=intel stage release I moved the 64bit libs to c:\program files\boost\lib which I set in LIB env var, and set in Tools/Options/VC++directories/x64/Libraries in VS. #including boost test headers works correcty. Compilation works but linking (xilink) fails because of undefined symbols which are in libboost_unit_test_framework-iw-mt-s.lib I compile my project with /MT. Adding verbose to the linker, the list of libraries being searched doesn't include any boost lib. 0. Autolinking is not working? (I'm sure it worked once with date_time where I didn't specify the lib at all and it looked for it by itself) 1. If I explicitly add libboost_unit_test_framework-iw-mt-s.lib in Project Properties/Linker/Input/Additional Dependencies, linking fails as it doesn't find the .lib, even though the LIB env var + VS tools/options are set to include c:\program files\boost\lib 2. If I add c:\program files\boost\lib explicitly to Project Properties/Linker/General/Additional Library Directories, then all works. I'd prefer not to include in the project properties the dependencies on boost, but have it as a system-wide setting (LIB or VS/Tools/Options) 3. there is a warning that the compiler version is unknown, run the configure script. Should I look in Boost.Build doc? Rds,

Re: [Boost-users] Serialization using BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_GUID
by Pavlo Korzhyk 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

When class is XXX_EXPORT-ed the code is generated for each included archive header. This is explained somewhere in the docs, probably near BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT macro description. So to avoid XML-related code generation don't #include unneeded archives Sincerely, Pavlo Korzhyk.

for_each, mem_fun, bind1st with boost::ptr_vector?
by Robert Dailey 27 Nov '07

27 Nov '07

Hi, I can't figure out how to use std::mem_fun() and std::bind1st() with std::for_each() to call into a member function for each element in a boost::ptr_vector object. Some sample code below: class Object { public: void Tick( float number ) {} }; boost::ptr_vector<Object> m_objects; using namespace std; for_each( m_objects.begin(), m_objects.end(), bind1st( mem_fun( &Object::Tick ), 5 ) ); Of course, this doesn't compile at all. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

boost with embedded compiler / in embedded area
by Bernhard Merkle 27 Nov '07

27 Nov '07

Hi, I have the following questions about using boost with embedded compilers / in the embedded area 1. what about embedded c++ compiler support in boost ? I saw on [1] some compilers but my list e.g. is - Metrowerks Codewarrior for PPC (v 8.x unfortunately) but the 9.x seems also to have problems - GreenHills C++ (seems to have the EDG parser, so no problem) - ARM C++ an they are not officially supported. Has anyone tried them or others ? experiences ? AFAIK, boost has some requirements to C++ compilers (especially templates) 2. what parts of boost are you using in your (embedded) area ? What parts would you avoid and what is recommendable ? (e.g. statechart, thread, the whole collection/algorithm things) Any performance/size issues ? TIA and kind regads, Berni [1] http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/CVS-HEAD/developer/summar… <http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/CVS-HEAD/developer/summar…>

hi, Is it possible to define some member functions conditionally on integral template argument values? template <int n> class C { void f1(); void f2(); .... void f6(); // should be a member only if n==3 for e.g. }; I could specialize this template and then i would have to define f1..5() for both the general case and the special case(n==3). rds,

Hi Currently working on graphml reader so found a thread on http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/146836 but when trying to access the attached file it is giving me error page stating "you are not authorized to view this page" Can i find the reader_test.cpp code on some other link so that i don't have to write the code again. Also i have downloaded graphml.cpp and graphml.hpp but when trying to compile the code it's giving me compilation error "C:/boost_1_34_1/libs/graph/src/graphml.cpp:22: error: expected `}' at end of input" in graphml.cpp file on the code "graphml_reader(mutate_graph& g):m_g(g), m_canonical_vertices(false) { }" What could be the reason for this..

Regarding lock-free data structure implementation in boost libraries
by Rakesh Sinha 27 Nov '07

27 Nov '07

Hi - I was just curious about some kind of lock-free data structure implementation (CAS algorithms specifically for Linux/GCC platform ) present in the boost library. After searching through the archives - I came across a Read-Writable lock that was later recalled. Can someone help me with some current status / point me to an appropriate API regarding the same. Thanks for the help.
