[Serialization] is_serializable trait?
by Sohail Somani 20 Jul '07

20 Jul '07

Hi, I know there is the tracking level trait. Is that sufficient to be able to say that T is serializable? struct T { T(some_stuff); private: some_non_default_constructing_members; }; In this case, I think tracking level will be set to track selectively but its not serializable as is. Thanks, Sohail

Graph Permutations of Order n
by Brian Stadler 20 Jul '07

20 Jul '07

Hi list, I'm attempting to create all graphs of order n, isomorphic graphs and all. Basically, with vertices V and Edges E, permutate through all possible variations. Does anyone on this list know of a simple way to do this with the boost graph library or, can point to some location that may help. thanks

Program Options: Documentation about response files out of date?
by Olaf van der Spek 20 Jul '07

20 Jul '07

Hi, [1] says: > The library does not provide direct support for response files, so you'll need to write some extra code. But this code does the trick without much extra code: std::ifstream is(vm["conf_file"].as<std::string>().c_str()); po::store(po::parse_config_file(is, desc), vm); Or is a response file something else? In that case, maybe that should be mentioned, as I think for lots of users this is enough. [1] http://boost.org/doc/html/program_options/howto.html#id1592676

[Optional 1.33.1] Assignment of convertible optional to an optional
by contact＠dword.dk 20 Jul '07

20 Jul '07

Hi, >From the documentation I think this should be possible: optional<unsigned short> us; optional<unsigned int> ui; ui = us; In this case it should just leave ui uninitialized. But instead I hit the assertion in reference_const_type get() const, because there is a call to rhs.get() in the operator=(). Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong? I'm using MSVC7.1. Best regards, Christian Larsen

[boost.test] Test suits and autoregistration
by Stefan Shishkov 20 Jul '07

20 Jul '07

Hi, I'm using boost 1.33.1, but the question applies to 1.34 too. Is it possible to create tests suites that contain test cases from different translation units using only auto registration? Ex: in file1.cpp BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE(BigSuite); auto-register test suites and cases here... BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END(); in file2.cpp BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE(BigSuite); auto-register other test suites and cases here... BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END(); As result only one suite with name "BigSuite" should be registered. Best regards, Stefan

[program_options] Short Option Name
by Christian Henning 20 Jul '07

20 Jul '07

Hi there, I cannot get the short option name feature to work. For some reason an exception is being thrown when I use the short name. I'm using boost 1.34 on MSVC 8. Here is what I'm doing: #include <boost\program_options.hpp> using namespace std; using namespace boost; namespace po = boost::program_options; int main( int argc, char* argv[] ) { string input; po::options_description settings( "" ); settings.add_options() ( "input,I" , po::value< string >( &input ) ->default_value( "" ) , "" ); po::options_description options; options.add( settings ); po::variables_map variables; store( parse_command_line( argc , argv , settings ) , variables ); notify( variables ); cout << input << endl; return 0; } Using --input="hello" works but not -I="hello". What am I overlooking? Thanks ahead, Christian

"detail" namespace
by Chauhan, Vikas 20 Jul '07

20 Jul '07

Hi , Can you please advise , why boost has "detail" namespace? Is a kind of standard as most of the libraries also have a detail namespace for eg: boost::asio::detail, boost::archive::detail, boost::format::detail and so on... Thanks, Vikas

Problem with boost::transform_iterator, std::pairs and templates.
by Manuel Holtgrewe 19 Jul '07

19 Jul '07

Hi, I have a problem using the Boost.Iterators library correctly. The following minimal example does neither compile with GCC 4.2 nor with a current ICC 10.0 version. It seems that putting a boost::transform_iterator inside a pair makes it impossible to retrieve its value again using std::iterator_traits. I would welcome a proposal how to resolve the problem. I get the bug when using transform_iterator together with the MCSTL (Multi Core STL) and thus cannot change the internals. I would thus like to know if and how I can make the following work without touching the inner() and outer() functions themselves since I do not have the possibility to change the library code itself. Am I using boost::transform_iterator incorrectly? Kind Regards, Manuel == File Source == #include <iostream> #include <vector> #include <functional> #include <boost/iterator/transform_iterator.hpp> class plus_two : public std::unary_function<int, int> { public: int operator()(int x) const { return x + 2; } }; template <class Pair> void inner(Pair pair) { typedef typename Pair::first_type Iterator; typedef typename std::iterator_traits<Iterator>::value_type T; Pair p = pair; T *x = &p.first[0]; (void)x; } template<class InIterator> void outer(InIterator begin, InIterator end) { typedef typename std::iterator_traits<InIterator>::value_type ValueType; inner(std::make_pair(begin, end)); } int main(void) { int in[10] = { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 }; outer( // broken boost::make_transform_iterator(in, plus_two()), boost::make_transform_iterator(in + 10, plus_two())); outer(in, in+10); // working return 0; } == GCC 4.2.0 Output == user@host:~/tmp> gcc-4.2.0 --version gcc-4.2.0 (GCC) 4.2.0 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

[mpl]problems with mpl::set

I'm having problems compiling non-explicitly-declared mpl::set types.

This code compiles, as expected. <block2> typedef set<> empty_set; BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_RELATION(size<empty_set>::value, ==, 0); typedef insert<empty_set, char>::type set2_t; BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_RELATION(size<set2_t>::value, ==, 1); //test iterating through the mpl.set: typedef begin<set2_t>::type set2_itr0_t; BOOST_MPL_ASSERT((is_same<deref<set2_itr0_t>::type, char>::type)); typedef next<set2_itr0_t>::type set2_itr1_t;//compile error at this line BOOST_MPL_ASSERT((is_same<set2_itr1_t, end<set2_t>::type>::type)); </block2> In block2, I declare a set with no types, then insert a char type, then iterate over the resulting sequence.

Finding the correct library to link (feature request for pkg-config support)
by Roger Leigh 19 Jul '07

19 Jul '07

Hi folks, [I've posted this to both user and development lists, because I'm not sure which is most appropriate in this case.] I make use of several Boost libraries in my schroot program (svn://svn.debian.org/svn/buildd-tools/trunk/schroot) This project, like many, utilises GNU Autoconf and Automake for its build system. I need to determine how to link with the Boost libraries in order to build the programs in the project. This is an issue for many projects which want to link with a Boost library. To illustrate my problem: ls -l /usr/lib/libboost_regex-*.so /usr/lib/libboost_program_options-*.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 45 2007-07-08 11:48 /usr/lib/libboost_program_options-gcc41-1_34.so -> libboost_program_options-gcc41-1_34.so.1.34.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 48 2007-07-08 11:48 /usr/lib/libboost_program_options-gcc41-mt-1_34.so -> libboost_program_options-gcc41-mt-1_34.so.1.34.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 41 2007-07-08 11:48 /usr/lib/libboost_program_options-mt.so -> libboost_program_options-gcc41-mt-1_34.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 2007-07-08 11:48 /usr/lib/libboost_program_options-st.so -> libboost_program_options-gcc41-1_34.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 2007-07-08 11:47 /usr/lib/libboost_regex-gcc41-1_34.so -> libboost_regex-gcc41-1_34.so.1.34.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 2007-07-08 11:47 /usr/lib/libboost_regex-gcc41-mt-1_34.so -> libboost_regex-gcc41-mt-1_34.so.1.34.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 2007-07-08 11:47 /usr/lib/libboost_regex-mt.so -> libboost_regex-gcc41-mt-1_34.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 2007-07-08 11:47 /usr/lib/libboost_regex-st.so -> libboost_regex-gcc41-1_34.so Unlike every other library on my system, the Boost libraries have the compiler (gcc41) and threading model (mt|st) and so on embedded *in the library name*. This makes it impossible to discover in an automatic fashion. Since this is free software anyone can download and build, I don't know what the compiler/toolchain will be, let alone what abbreviation Boost has chosen for it. I expect that Autoconf will set up such things appropriately. The only means I have are the libboost_program_options-mt.so, libboost_program_options-st.so (and so on for all the libraries) symbolic links which the Debian maintainer has helpfully provided. However, these are not portable, and are so not a good solution. They are, however, the only available solution at the moment. To further show the problem I am having, this is part of my configure.ac Autoconf template: ---configure.ac---- AC_CHECK_HEADERS([tr1/memory]) AC_CHECK_HEADERS([boost/shared_ptr.hpp],, [ if test $ac_cv_header_tr1_memory = yes; then : else AC_MSG_ERROR([Boost.shared_ptr (Boost C++ Libraries) is not installed, but is required by schroot]) fi]) AC_CHECK_HEADERS([tr1/tuple]) AC_CHECK_HEADERS([boost/tuple/tuple.hpp],, [ if test $ac_cv_header_tr1_memory = yes; then : else AC_MSG_ERROR([Boost.Tuple (Boost C++ Libraries) is not installed, but is required by schroot]) fi]) AC_CHECK_HEADERS([boost/format.hpp],, [AC_MSG_ERROR([Boost.Format (Boost C++ Libraries) is not installed, but is required by schroot])]) AC_CHECK_HEADERS([boost/program_options.hpp],, [AC_MSG_ERROR([Boost.Program_options (Boost C++ Libraries) is not installed, but is required by schroot])]) AC_CHECK_HEADERS([boost/type_traits.hpp],, [AC_MSG_ERROR([Boost.TypeTraits (Boost C++ Libraries) is not installed, but is required by schroot])]) AC_MSG_CHECKING([for boost::program_options::variables_map in -lboost_program_options-st]) saved_ldflags="${LDFLAGS}" LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS} -lboost_program_options-st" AC_LINK_IFELSE([AC_LANG_PROGRAM([#include <boost/program_options.hpp>], [boost::program_options::variables_map::variables_map dummy()])], [AC_MSG_RESULT([yes]) BOOST_LIBS="${BOOST_LIBS} -lboost_program_options-st"], [AC_MSG_RESULT([no]) AC_MSG_FAILURE([libboost_program_options (Boost C++ Libraries) is not installed, but is required by schroot])]) LDFLAGS="${saved_ldflags}" AC_MSG_CHECKING([for boost::program_options::options_description::options() in -lboost_program_options-st]) saved_ldflags="${LDFLAGS}" LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS} -lboost_program_options-st" AC_LINK_IFELSE([AC_LANG_PROGRAM([#include <boost/program_options.hpp>], [boost::program_options::options_description testgrp("test group"); bool notused = testgrp.options().empty(); ])], [AC_MSG_RESULT([yes]) BOOST_PROGRAM_OPTIONS_DESCRIPTION_METHODS="current"], [AC_MSG_RESULT([no]) BOOST_PROGRAM_OPTIONS_DESCRIPTION_METHODS="old"]) LDFLAGS="${saved_ldflags}" AH_TEMPLATE(BOOST_PROGRAM_OPTIONS_DESCRIPTION_OLD, [Set if boost::program_options::options_description::options() is not available]) if test "$BOOST_PROGRAM_OPTIONS_DESCRIPTION_METHODS" = "old"; then AC_DEFINE(BOOST_PROGRAM_OPTIONS_DESCRIPTION_OLD, 1) fi AC_MSG_CHECKING([for boost::regex in -lboost_regex-st]) saved_ldflags="${LDFLAGS}" LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS} -lboost_regex-st" AC_LINK_IFELSE([AC_LANG_PROGRAM([#include <boost/regex.hpp>], [boost::regex("^foo[bar]$")])], [AC_MSG_RESULT([yes]) BOOST_LIBS="${BOOST_LIBS} -lboost_regex-st"], [AC_MSG_RESULT([no]) AC_MSG_FAILURE([libboost_regex (Boost C++ Libraries) is not installed, but is required by schroot])]) LDFLAGS="${saved_ldflags}" AC_SUBST([BOOST_LIBS]) ---configure.ac---- As you can see, that's quite a bit of complexity. It also includes code to work around a backwards compatibility issue in Boost.Program_options. However, it needs to know the library name in order to link the test code, and I'm still needing to use a non-standard name in order to do that. It would be great if Boost would provide a mechanism to allow such discovery. Such a mechanism already exists, and is called "pkg-config". By installing a small file in LIBDIR/pkgconfig for each Boost library, the pkg-config tool or PKG_CHECK_MODULES Autoconf macro may be used to query this information. As an example: ---- boost-regex-mt.pc ---- prefix=/usr exec_prefix=${prefix} libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib includedir=${prefix}/include Name: boost-regex-mt Description: Boost C++ Regular Expression Library (multi-threaded) Version: 1.34.0 Libs: -L${libdir} -lboost_regex-gcc41-mt-1_34 Libs.private: -licui18n -licuuc -lrt -lm Cflags: -I${includedir} -pthread ---- boost-regex-mt.pc ---- You can generate this from a template: ---- boost-regex-mt.pc.in ---- prefix=PREFIX exec_prefix=EPREFIX libdir=LIBDIR includedir=INCLUDEDIR Name: boost-regex-mt Description: Boost Regular Expression Library (multi-threaded) Version: VERSION Libs: -L${libdir} LIBRARY_NAME Libs.private: LIBRARY_DEPENDENCIES [for static linking] Cflags: -I${includedir} THREAD_OPTIONS_FOR_COMPILER ---- boost-regex-mt.pc.in ---- where the capitalised names are where you would substitute in the system- and compiler-specific options. It looks like bjam could probably make this a single rule all libraries could make use of. For such a setup, all that configure script above could be mostly reduced to PKG_CHECK_MODULES([boost-regex-st]) PKG_CHECK_MODULES([boost-program-options-st]) I don't know how bjam works, but I do this with Autoconf as a file generated by config.status, but it could also be generated by make with a simple sed command. I guess you could do the bjam equivalent, whatever that might be. I have had a look at the sources to try to implement this, but I am afraid I lack the bjam expertise to do it. You may find much more detailed discussion of these issues at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=424038 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=424666 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=425264 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=428419 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=350539 Some of these are due to Debian-specific issues (a change to the symlink name), but the root cause is the inability to identify the Boost library names in an automated fashion.

Hi all. I was curious to see if there is or will be support for the use of the visitor pattern with boost::any? I think it would be very useful. I thought I had read that there was an experimental boost::any visitor at some point, but I couldn't find it. Please let me know. Thanks. --------------------------------- Looking for a deal?

Yes, if I remove all lib it does run successfully. I identified that tests run from TinyXML lib (opensource). I have to link with other libraries because the code I have to test depends on them. I am just creating tast case to narrow down the problem. I will look in 1.34.o but probably I could not. I will apriceate any solution how to disable particular testing suit (from TinyXML).

[Regex] Link error with G++ 3.3.2, but Okay with 3.4.5
by Ambarish Mitra 19 Jul '07

19 Jul '07

Hi all, I have the following code to validate a given url using boost::regex. The code is failing linking with g++ 3.3.2, but is building with 3.4.5 Any workaround, or pointer to help to build in 3.3.2? I am on boost 1.32.

[Matrix iterators] Beginner problem
by Regis Behmo 19 Jul '07

19 Jul '07

Hello everyone, I don't understand how to use iterators with matrices; how can I scan all the elements of a matrix? The only thing I have managed to do until now is to read/write the elements of the first row or the first column: ublas::matrix<int> M(3,3); int i = 0; for( ublas::matrix<int>::iterator1 Mit1 = M.begin1(); Mit1 != M.end1(); Mit1++ ) { *Mit1 = i; i++; } Are there such things as row iterators, column iterators, or iterators ocver all the elements of the matrix? Thanks Régis B.

[program_options] add_options method hangs on Linux
by Farberov, Inga 19 Jul '07

19 Jul '07

Hi, I have a piece of code that runs both on Windows and Linux. I am using program_options library to read a settings file. This seems to work fine on windows, but on Linux the same code hangs when I call add_options method. I am using Boost 1.34 on both machines. Any suggestions on what may be causing this problem are greatly appreciated. Inga

Dear All, I'm facing the following problem. I have the following class hierarchy: AbstractBase <--- AbstractDerived <---- ConcreteDerived I managed to make the serialization of AbstractBase using text and binary archives (text_[i/o]archive, binary_[i/o]archive), tested, and works fine. However when AbstractBase pointers are sent with MPI functions a runtime exception occurs: /usr/include/boost-1_35/boost/archive/detail/oserializer.hpp:413: static void boost::archive::detail::save_pointer_type<Archive, TPtr>::polymorphic<T>::save(Archive&, const T&, const boost::archive::detail::basic_pointer_oserializer*) [with T = AbstractBase, Archive = boost::mpi::packed_oarchive, TPtr = AbstractBase*]: Assertion `__null != bpos_ptr' failed.

scoped_ptr, shared_ptr and pimpl
by Noah Roberts 19 Jul '07

19 Jul '07

I have an object that uses scoped_ptr to point to it's impl...an incomplete type forward declared in the header and implemented in the cpp file. This object *does have a user defined destructor*! This user defined destructor is defined after the opaque type has been fully defined in the same cpp file. In another cpp file I have a function that lives in the same namespace as the object in question, which creates a shared_ptr to this object. I'm getting the "undefined type" error in checked_delete for the impl object. I've run into this problem before but it was because I did not have a user defined destructor for the outer object...now I do. I even created a blank destructor for the impl, something I've never had to do before. What gives? Any ideas where to look for the problem? My simplest program that exhibits the problem doesn't exhibit the problem...I find this frustrating.

Question about from_time_t implementation
by Gerardo Lamastra 18 Jul '07

18 Jul '07

Hello everybody, I've seen that boost::posix_time supports a conversion function time_t from_time_t(ptime t) I've also seen on the mailing list, that something related to this issue has already been discussed. However, I've not found enough information (browsing ML and bug support) to understand if this issue is considered closed, or if anyone has never run into similar problems: We're using this function, and a counterpart ptime to_time_t(time_t) function because our application interacts with a MySQL db where date information is stored as unix timestamp. While processing the data, we run in a problem (I won't say 'bug') because MySQL and boost give different meaning to unix timestamp. For example, timestamp 1184795149 is 2007-Jul-18 23:45:49 (local time) for MySQL and it is 2007-Jul-18 21:45:49 (local time) for boost. The correct value is the first one. My current timezone offset is 2 hours, so you can see that we are missing UTC here. Checking the code, I've seen that the function basically converts by adding the number of second to 1/1/1970 0:0:0; however, it should be 1/1/1970 0:0:0 UTC, which is not. Jeff Garland touches this issue in this post: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/1758411 where he encourages C++ developer to move away from the time_t interface; however, often, for legacy reason, this may not be possible (as in our application). In order to comply with other implementation, we suggest to modify the function as follows: // The Boost Actual Implementation ptime boost_from_time_t(std::time_t t) { ptime start(boost::gregorian::date(1970,1,1)); return start + seconds(static_cast<long>(t)); } // Our 'old' function, written to match the previous one time_t boost_to_time_t(ptime t) { static const ptime THE_EPOCH(boost::gregorian::date(1970,1,1)); return time_period(THE_EPOCH, t).length().total_seconds(); } // The implementations that takes into account UTC ptime my_from_time_t(std::time_t t) { static const time_duration OFFSET = second_clock::local_time() - second_clock::universal_time(); static const ptime THE_EPOCH(boost::gregorian::date(1970,1,1), OFFSET); return THE_EPOCH + seconds(static_cast<long>(t)); } time_t my_to_time_t(ptime t) { static const time_duration OFFSET = second_clock::local_time() - second_clock::universal_time(); static const ptime THE_EPOCH(boost::gregorian::date(1970,1,1), OFFSET); return time_period(THE_EPOCH, t).length().total_seconds(); } That's all.

[multi_index][ann][rfc] Preview of Boost.MultiIndex 1.35 release
by Joaquín Mª López Muñoz 18 Jul '07

18 Jul '07

Hello, I've uploaded a preview version of Boost.MultiIndex as planned for shipping with Boost 1.35 --I don't think there'll be time to include more major features. Download at the Vault: http://www.boost-consulting.com/vault/index.php?&direction=0&order=&directo… (file multi_index.zip) You can try the preview with Boost 1.34.x; if you want to test the newly added interoperability with Boost.Interprocess, you'll have to use a snapshot of Boost CVS, where this library currently lies. The new important features: * New global_fun predefined key extractor. * Added iterator_to facility. * Included support for non-standard allocators such as those of Boost.Interprocess, which makes multi_index_containers placeable in shared memory. Don't miss example #12 at the examples section, which fully exercises this new capacity. * New versions of modify and modify_key with rollback, as described in the tutorial. * Indices provide the new cbegin, cend and, when applicable, crbegin and crend member functions, in accordance with the latest drafts of the next revision of the C++ standard. A longer list of changes can be consulted at the release notes page. I'd be extremely grateful if you can try this preview version and report any problems you find. As we're still in time to discuss the new features, do not hesitate to comment on these and bring forward your proposals for improvement. Thank you very much for your interest in Boost.MultiIndex, Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

Why intrusive_ptr destructor can throw exceptions?
by Pavel Syomin 18 Jul '07

18 Jul '07

Hello! I found another difference between shared_ptr and intrusive_ptr behavior: * shared_ptr destructor never throw exceptions; * intrusive_ptr destructor can throw exceptions. In my opinion, ~intrusive_ptr() should not throw exceptions too, because current behavior is much complicated and fraught with memory leak bugs.

[program_options]: Unicode option name and description
by Niko Vuokko 18 Jul '07

18 Jul '07

I understand how to make option values unicode, but don't know how to make something like generic->add_options() (L"ärrä,ä", L"ä option") ; work correctly. Looking at the headers it looks like this is impossible, because operator() is not a template<charT> class as many others. Another thing: How can I make the default argument not to show in the options_description printing and change the "arg" argument placeholder? Right now ("dir,d", po::value<string>()->default_value("."), "dirDesc") prints out cout << *opts; -> ... -d [--dir] arg(=.) dirDesc ... I would like to just write -d [--dir] path dirDesc The module tutorial tells (Multiple sources example) of the possibility to get --optimization n : optimization level -I [ --include-path ] path : include path where path is written instead of arg, n instead of arg, and the default value 10 is not printed, but compiling the code and testing it gives out --optimization arg (=10) optimization level -I [ --include-path ] arg include path What's wrong? I have boost-1.34.0. niko

problem porting code using spirit parser to v1.34.0

Hi, I'm having trouble porting some code to use v1.34.0 of boost. We are using the spirit parser and have found that strings containing trailing white space are not parsed as before. The following code is a simple example of the problem. This code works with boost 1.33.1 but not 1.34.0. Can anyone help explain why the code no longer works and what we should do to fix the problem? Regards, Andy #include <string> #include <iostream> #include <boost/spirit/core.hpp> using namespace std; using namespace boost::spirit; bool parseStr(const string& str) { return parse(str.c_str(), real_p >> *(',' >> real_p), space_p).full; } int main(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { string s1 = "1,2,3,4,5"; string s2 = "1,2,3,4,5 "; cout << "parsing: '" << s1 << "' : " << (parseStr(s1) ?

How to link Boost libraries statically, but with dynamic runtime?
by Niko Vuokko 18 Jul '07

18 Jul '07

I know there are some messages on this subject, but none of them gave me the answer or then I just didn't understand it. I'm trying to link some boost libraries statically to my program, but at the same time link the standard libraries dynamically. I have little experience ( == a total noob) in the linking process. I'm using ld version 2.16.1 and g++ version 4.1.2 on Linux. My /usr/lib has files like libboost_regex.so libboost_regex-s.a (the same for multi-threaded progs) Actually I'm unable even to link everything statically: ld <obj-files> -Bstatic -lboost_filesystem-s -lboost_program_options-s -lboost_regex-s -o prog fails. Also trying to link runtime dynamically with ld <obj-files> -Bstatic -lboost_filesystem-s -lboost_program_options-s -lboost_regex-s -Bdynamic -o prog fails. I also tried to ar/ranlib the so object files into .a archives (not sure if it can help in any case) and then link them as above, but it didn't work either (similar linking errors). Linking everything dynamically works, but I want to learn how to link libraries statically. Thanks, niko

Problem installing Boost MPI on Windows with MPICH 1.2.5
by Charles Karney 18 Jul '07

18 Jul '07

I'm testing out Boost MPI on Windows following the description in http://www.generic-programming.org/~dgregor/boost.mpi/doc/mpi/getting_start… I've installed MPICH 1.2.5 (the only one of the tested MPI implementations that works with Windows) in C:\Program Files\MPICH; have checked out boost from the CVS repository; and have bjam 3.1.13. bjam --with-mpi then complains about not finding MPI. For example, I tried adding to user-config.jam the following: using mpi : : "C:/Program Files/MPICH/SDK/Lib/mpich.lib" ; Running bjam --with-mpi --debug-configuration then gives: warning: toolset mpi initialization: can't find tool mpirun ... error: 'C:/Program Files/MPICH/SDK/Lib/mpich.lib' is not a valid for property specification Unfortunately I can't figure out how to interpret the following (from the documentation): If your MPI implementation does not have a wrapper compiler, or the MPI auto-detection code does not work with your MPI's wrapper compiler, you can pass MPI-related options explicitly via the second parameter to the mpi module: using mpi : : <find-shared-library>lammpio <find-shared-library>lammpi++ <find-shared-library>mpi <find-shared-library>lam <find-shared-library>dl ; What are the "MPI-related options"? If anyone has succeeded in getting Boost MPI working on Windows (with Visual Studio .NET) and with any MPI implementation, I'd appreciate hearing how they configured it.

[wave] Revisited: build errors (partially applies to RC3)
by Ovanes Markarian 17 Jul '07

17 Jul '07

Hello Hartmut! I looked through the wave Jamfile.v2 and was able (???) to fix compilation and linking errors of a newer wave release. First error was that I could not build wave only lib. This was caused by the line nr. 34 (RC3) there is written: /boost/filesystem//boost_filesystem The correct filesystem reference at least on my Windows XP VC80 Express Edition machine is: /boost//filesystem The next issue relates to the changes you did where linking errors happen. To fix this issue I added a dependency (don't know if this was a correct way to do...) to the thread library: /boost//thread At the line 35. This dependency is only needed if wave head is compiled. I still have a problem that during the initialization phase of wave/spirit's static variables my app crashes. May be you can currently switch off the multi-threaded support in the head revision (or make it available via a macro???), so that I can take files with the conditional processing feature only. Otherwise I am currently blocked because I can either select MT with conditional processing (=>app crashes) or ST without conditional processing. Would be great to get ST with conditional processing. The app crashes during the parsing of file: boost\wave\util\cpp_macromap_predef.hpp line 166. // __SPIRIT_PP_VERSION__/__WAVE_VERSION__ boost::wave::util::time_conversion_helper const compilation_time(__DATE__ " " __TIME__); May be there is an assertion, but Visual Studio unfortunately does not show this. With Kind Regards, Ovanes Markarian

[Interprocess/Process] Libraries status?
by Peter Novak 17 Jul '07

17 Jul '07

Dear Boost users/developers, first let me introduce myself to the list as I am newcomer here. My name is Peter Novak and I am using Boost since few months in some of my research projects. I need to implement some extensive interprocess communication and as I am already using Boost quite extensively, I looked a bit around and found that there are Boost.Interprocess and Boost.Process libraries hanging somewhere in the air. As I found, Interprocess by Ion Gaztanaga was already accepted for Boost release last in February 2006. Since then, we already saw 1.34 release, which did not include this library(why?), although it is already included in the CVS tree. Finally, there does not seem to be any special review notice, or any other remark about the fate of the Process library by Julio Vidal, although it was written in the frame of the SoC project last year and did not seem to receive negative comments on the developer's list. Is there somebody who could update me on the fate of these libraries? I mean whether they will be included (Interprocess) in the next Boost release, and if so, when is the next version of Boost scheduled to be released? Are there any considerations to submit Process library for review, or was it dismissed without a proper review process? As of now, I am considering to incorporate the Interprocess library into my source tree anyway and one day when the next Boost version will be released, I will migrate my package to the version included with the Boost 1.35(?). Thanks for your comments and help. Best, Peter. -- Peter Novak, pno-boost(a)aronde.net, http://peter.aronde.net/

[test] cannot wipe out linker errors
by Christian Henning 17 Jul '07

17 Jul '07

Hi there, I'm using boost 1.34 on MSVC 7.1. For whatever reason I cannot eliminate various linker errors. I have defined my BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASEs in several .cpp files and this seems to create multiple definition of various symbols. The errors look as the following: string_table_test.obj : error LNK2005: "bool boost::test_tools::`anonymous namespace'::dummy_cond" (?dummy_cond@?A0x7aa5c0d5@test_tools@boost@@3_NA) already defined in ORM_test.obj string_table_test.obj : error LNK2005: "class unit_test_log_t::boost::unit_test_log_t & boost::unit_test::`anonymous namespace'::unit_test_log" (?unit_test_log@?A0x7aa5c0d5@unit_test@boost@@3AAVunit_test_log_t@23@A) already defined in ORM_test.obj Did anyone had to deal which such messages before? Thanks ahead, Christian

Pointer containers and raw arrays of pointers
by Chris Newbold 17 Jul '07

17 Jul '07

Greetings. I've been wrestling with some legacy C code which makes heavy use of raw arrays of pointers-- typically pointers to quasi-OO C structures which have specific "constructor" and "destructor" functions. Here's a contrived example: struct OldStuff { ... }; OldStuff* CreateOldStuff(); void DestroyOldStuff(OldStuff*); Then there are functions which return zero or more of these structures as output via an array of pointers: bool FiddleWithStuff(OldStuff** output, size_t count, ...); It's the callers responsibility to properly dispose of the results returned in 'output' by calling DestroyOldStuff() on each element. What I'd like to be able to do is provide a wrapper for functions like this which provide automatic management for the output values. Here's an example using ptr_vector: struct OldStuff_Destroyer { // What's up with the const pointer to deallocate?!? static void deallocate_clone(const OldStuff* p) { DestroyOldStuff(const_cast<OldStuff*>(p)); } }; typedef boost::ptr_vector< boost::nullable<OldStuff>, OldStuff_Destroyer> StuffVec_t; bool Wrapper(StuffVec_t& output, size_t count, ...); The pointer containers like ptr_vector seem to be a good fit, particularly given the customizable cloning behavior and is a very natural transition from an array of pointers. The problem I'm having is how to couple ptr_vector to the legacy code which expects to use arrays of pointers. Here's what I'd like to do: bool Wrapper(StuffVec_t& output, size_t count, ...) { // Won't work: resize() isn't supported output.resize(count); // Won't work: no way to get to raw storage return FiddleWithStuff(&output[0], count, ...); } As noted, this won't work for a couple of reasons. The pointer containers have an aversion to containing NULL pointers, which is why I imagine resize() isn't supported. And there's no way to get a pointer to the raw storage for the pointers to provide a buffer for the legacy code to write into. I do understand why the pointer containers don't support what I'm trying to do here, and the restrictions are entirely reasonable to provide additional safety. But... Using a container of smart pointers isn't an option, either, for the same reason: the need to have legacy code write into the storage as if it were an array. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to encapsulate a collection of pointers and some associated deletion logic? Obviously I could write my own pointer collection that satisfies my requirements, but I was hoping to use off-the-shelf bits. Thanks for any ideas. -Chris

boost libraries and gcc-2.95 on linux

Date-time - How to handle mixed instances of floating, UTC and local times
by Mike Higginbottom 17 Jul '07

17 Jul '07

I have an application that needs to deal with floating time, UTC and local time. I can use ptime to represent floating and UTC but there's then no way to tell, for a given ptime instance, whether it represents a floating time or UTC. I could use local_time with a null tz to represent UTC or floating (seems like a hack and still only allows me one or the other representation) and a non-null tz for local times. Given only two 'time' classes (ptime and local_time) what's the best way to represent three different time concepts? Should I inherit from local_time to give me my three representations? -- Mike Higginbottom Paul Smith Computer Services Silk Mill House 196 Huddersfield Road Meltham Holmfirth HD9 4AW United Kingdom http://www.pscs.co.uk +44 (0)1484 855800

http://www.boost.org/tools/regression/index.htm as well as the 1.34 release candidate refer to process_jam_log.cpp and compiler_status.cpp. Also there is a shell script run_tests.sh for invoking these programs. Is this information correct? Does this procedure, programs and scripts function with bjam V2 and whatever else has changed with 1.34 ? Robert Ramey

[BGL] filtered_graph and push_relabel_max_flow
by Leandro T. C. Melo 17 Jul '07

17 Jul '07

Hi all. I noticed the following comment on file push_relabel_max_flow.hpp: // This is a breadth-first search over the residual graph // (well, actually the reverse of the residual graph). // Would be cool to have a graph view adaptor for hiding certain // edges, like the saturated (non-residual) edges in this case. This comment is on top of function global_distance_update(), which actually implements the bfs mentioned above. Is there a particular reason for not filtering the graph (with filtered_graph) and avoiding the saturated edges? (Instead of reimplementing bfs.) Also, addition to the active and inactive lists could be done with a visitor. Thanks, Leandro.

compiler -Wshadow warnings
by Bryan Green 17 Jul '07

17 Jul '07

Hello, I'm reporting some warnings I'm getting from gcc when I compile with my code with -Wshadow (Boost 1.34). Not critical, just annoying (makes it harder to catch warnings in my own code). /usr/include/boost/signal.hpp:345: warning: declaration of 'combiner' shadows a member of 'this' /usr/include/boost/signals/signal_template.hpp:348: warning: declaration of 'result_type' shadows a member of 'this' /usr/include/boost/signals/detail/slot_call_iterator.hpp:51: warning: declaration of 'f' shadows a member of 'this' /usr/include/boost/program_options/parsers.hpp:34: warning: declaration of 'description' shadows a member of 'this' /usr/include/boost/variant/variant.hpp:1115: warning: declaration of 'which' shadows a member of 'this' /usr/include/boost/variant/variant.hpp:1120: warning: declaration of 'which' shadows a member of 'this' The variant ones are especially problematic, as the printout of the instantiation heirarchy is several pages long.

program_options: Are my options too complicated?
by Steven Mackenzie 16 Jul '07

16 Jul '07

Hello, I am writing an application that moves some data through a sequence of possibly optional processing steps, for instance (simplified) 1/ Read and Export Data, optionally exporting it to a text or binary file. 2/ Optionally Normalise the data, optionally exporting to file. 3/ Optionally reduce the size of the data set, optionally exporting the result. 4/ Create a score for the data set, and write the score to a file or socket. Each processing step 1-4 has a set of options, for example step 1 might export the data as a text file or as a binary, and might transpose the data (rows and columns) to make it easier to plot in a spreadsheet. Data output at each processing step 1-3 is optional, and processing steps 1-2 are optional. As described, this sounds like a pipeline of processes, but the customers expectations (and my ability) suggest that this should be a single application*, but with a consequently complicated set of options. I'd like to be able to use program_options to help me parse the command line or config file, and so my plan for the command line is that it would support 4 options (one for each step), for instance with <required options> and [optional options]: app <--export [optional file name [binary|text [transpose]]> [--normalize [optional file name]] [--reduce [optional file name]] <--score <file name or server address> [optional treshold number]> <input file name> I want to allow each option to be given more than once, so that for instance data could be exported as text and binary with app --export file1.bin binary --export file2.txt text transposed ... In another case the command line might be simply app --export --normalize --score file://score.txt input.bin where --export and --normalize are given as boolean switches, and --score has used a default value for the threshold number. In another case, I would like all of the options in a configuration file, and only the input file name would be given on the command line. So my questions: 1/ Could I make my command line simpler? 2/ Will boost::program_options be helpful in this case - I've only used it once before in a much simpler scenario? 3/ What program_options methods should I be looking at? Although the documentation has an excellent set of examples, I'm finding the reference section something of a maze. All sugestions will be gratefully received! Steven * The data set is large, and some processing steps might transform the data in-place. Other steps might depend on the output of more than one steps (for instance step 4 might depend on the results of steps 2 and 3). I hope to make much of the process multi-threaded.

Did not succeed to use algorithm/string on WinCE with MSVC 2005 and PocketPC2003 SDK
by Françoise CONIL 16 Jul '07

16 Jul '07

Hi, I successfully use replace_all function in a win32 "helloboost" application. My code has to work on Windows CE and when I tried a "helloboostpda" application, I had an error on boost/algorithm/string/compare.hpp because of the following include : #include <locale> This seems to be due to PocketPC2003 SDK that does not have a "locale" include (only a locale.h). Is there something I can do to use Boost algorithm/string library on Windows CE ? Thanks Francoise

Re: [Boost-users] [Boost.Filesystem] Program can't run under Win 98
by Trigve Siver 16 Jul '07

16 Jul '07

Hi, I have tried to rebuild boost.filesystem with D_WIN32_WINNT set to 0x0400 (with cxxflags) but it seems that it (cxxflags) was ignored and filesystem libs was build as without any cxxflags option. Command I run: bjam cxxflags=-D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0400 --with-filesystem toolset=msvc Are these flags (cflags, cxxflags) working? thanks Trigve ----- Original Message ---- From: Todd Greer <TGreer(a)affinegy.com> To: boost-users(a)lists.boost.org Sent: Saturday, July 14, 2007 12:04:21 AM Subject: Re: [Boost-users] [Boost.Filesystem] Program can't run under Win 98 On Thursday, July 12, 2007 7:27 AM Trigve Siver said: > I've got a problem running application that uses boost.filesystem on win > 98.

It would appear that #defining _WIN32_WINNT to 0x400 or less when compiling the filesystem library should exclude that code (and some related code with the same problem). I believe this can be done by setting cxxflags to -D_WIN32_WINNT when building, but I haven't tried it myself, and don't know much about the boost build system. Unless this problem is fixed for 1.34.1, I'll be learning the details myself in a few weeks, as it will otherwise block our upgrading.

[Boost.Graph] Unreachable nodes and dijkstra_shortest_paths
by Ewgenij Sokolovski 16 Jul '07

16 Jul '07

Hello. How does the distance_map container looks like if you apply the dijkstra_shortest_paths algorithm on a graph, and the graph is not connected? So how does the entry d[i] looks like if it is not possible to reach node i from the start node of the dijkstra_algorithm? I couldn't find this information in the online manual, the case of the predecessor_map is described there but not the one of the distance map.

Building Boost with CMake/MSVC2005
by Olaf 16 Jul '07

16 Jul '07

Hi, I successfully build boost with cmake using MSVC2005/VS80 from sandbox - even boost::iostream with zlib support. The zlib.cpp is added to the project. Anyway, I get LINK : fatal error LNK1104: Datei "libboost_zlib-vc80-mt-gd-1_34.lib" kann nicht geöffnet werden. => means: could not found I have to set libboost_zlib-vc80-mt-gd-1_34.lib to ignore in the Studio Linker Settings. Does exist such a target in the cmake svn/build tree, or using jam? How to build it? I've never seen such on my linux box. Thanks Olaf

Boost default library names
by Steven Mackenzie 16 Jul '07

16 Jul '07

I've just built and installed the boost 1.34 libraries from source on a Centos 4.4 Linux intsall, along side the default 1.32 Boost version that comes with RedHat/CentOS 4. The boost libraries have been installed in /usr/local/lib, but have very long and specific names, like libboost_program_options-gcc34-mt-1_34.so, and so to link against them I have to specify, for example, boost_program_options-gcc34-mt-1_34 instead of boost_program_options. Is there any quick change that I can make to create the extra symlinks, or are the long names deliberate and sensible? Thanks in advance for any suggestions, Steven

program_options and unicode
by zh 16 Jul '07

16 Jul '07

Greetings. Say I have a situation like this one: po::options_description visible("Visible options"); visible.add_options() ("opt1", "opt1") ("opt2", "opt2") ("opt3", "opt3") ; po::options_description hidden("Hidden options"); hidden.add_options() ("opt4", po::value<string>(), "opt4") ; po::options_description all_options; all_options.add(visible).add(hidden); po::positional_options_description pos; pos.add("opt4", -1); po::variables_map vm; po::store(po::command_line_parser(argc, argv).options(all_options).positional(pos).run(), vm); po::notify(vm); Now I want to replace char* argv[] with wchar_t* in order to pass a Unicode file name to a Win32 SDK function CreateFile(). What would be, in your opinion, an appropriate course of action? I thank you in advance. ZA

[timer] incorrect time ?
by Ruediger Berlich 15 Jul '07

15 Jul '07

Hi there, the following program /****************************************************/ #include <iostream> #include <boost/timer.hpp> using namespace std; boost::timer t; main() { t.restart(); for(int i=0; i<5; i++){ usleep(500000); cout << t.elapsed() << endl << t.elapsed_min() << endl << t.elapsed_max() << endl; } } /****************************************************/ gives five times the following output, in 0.5 s intervals: 0 1e-06 9.22337e+12 I have tried the timer_test.cpp application (from http://www.boost.org/libs/timer/index.html) Most of it seems to be working, but the first messages also say: timer::elapased_min() reports 1e-06 seconds timer::elapased_max() reports 9.22337e+12 seconds, which is 2.56205e+09 hours After this the output seems to be fine. So something clearly is wrong. Any ideas ? This is on an OpenSuSE 10.2 system with a Boost 1.34.0 (with added ASIO support, 0.38rc3). g++ is 4.1.2 . Thanks and Best Regards, Ruediger

[IBD] Helping Boost Authors
by Matias Capeletto 14 Jul '07

14 Jul '07

Hello Boosters, We have a new resource at IBD: a section in the project Wiki called "Helping Boost Authors". http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/HelpingBoostAuthors This section is a bazaar of friendly hands. We are teachers, experience users, native English speakers and artists. We want to offer our help to Boost authors to improve their documentation. * How to get helped Just send an email to the boost-docs list with your request. We will do our best to help you. * How to help Add yourself as a proofreader, a translator or in the general section if you have others ideas that Boost authors may find useful. The main objective of this new resource is to act as the main connection between Boost authors and some of IBD folks that are eager to help them. We hope this will make healthier the relation between Boost authors and our project. Authors will get helped, and have more time to improve and add new features to their libraries. We will get in touch with you and hopefully learn enough to become a boost author someday. It is a win-win situation. We hope we can make Boost authors life more enjoyable with regards to documentation. Eagerly waiting to help somebody, King regards Matias

deep copying reference_wrapper<>s in a bind()
by Edd Dawson 13 Jul '07

13 Jul '07

Hi folks, I'm currently attempting to create a little facility that will allow me to eaily kick off a function call in another thread and get the result through a "future". Something like: unsigned count_primes_upto(std::size_t max); async::layered_cage < std::exception, std::domain_error, async::catch_all > cage; // to catch exceptions // call count_primes_upto(9876543210) in another thread async::future<unsigned> n = async::call(cage, &count_primes_upto, 9876543210); // do other stuff in the mean time // ... // Block until done. Get result or propagate exception std::cout << "there are " << n.value() << " primes less than " << 9876543210 <<'\n'; To achieve this I'm using boost::bind and boost::function quite heavily. I've discovered that by the time the final boost::function<void ()> is composed for the boost::thread constructor, I've copied each of the arguments (such as 9876543210 in the above) about 30 times!. Now, I can use boost::ref() internally in such a way that no copying of arguments happens at all. However, this is also undesirable; I would like the thread that is created to have its own copy of each argument unless the client explicitly wraps an argument in boost::ref/cref in order to avoid dangling cross-thread references. So what I'd like is a way to copy the result of my final boost::bind() call in to a new functor where all the ref() arguments are deep-copied once and only once at the end. Is there some way of doing this? Perhaps the "as yet undocumented" visit_each is relevant, here? Kind regards, Edd

[wave] linking errors for the head revision
by Ovanes Markarian 13 Jul '07

13 Jul '07

Hartmut, applying your patch from the CVS head (which you produced in request to multi-thread safety and conditional preprocessing) results in linking problems. I tried compiling with boost_1_34_0 and boost_1_34_1_RC2. Here are some of the errors which are produced by the linker. The interesting thing is that threading library is compiled fine. instantiate_cpp_exprgrammar.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual __thiscall boost::lock_error::~lock_error(void)" (??1lock_error@boost@@UAE@XZ) instantiate_cpp_grammar.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual __thiscall boost::lock_error::~lock_error(void)" (??1lock_error@boost@@UAE@XZ) instantiate_cpp_literalgrs.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual __thiscall boost::lock_error::~lock_error(void)" (??1lock_error@boost@@UAE@XZ) instantiate_defined_grammar.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual __thiscall boost::lock_error::~lock_error(void)" (??1lock_error@boost@@UAE@XZ) With Kind Regards, Ovanes Markarian

I'd been looking for an algorithm before I found Boost's implementation (which turns out to be a no-match for my problem); the Hungarian algorithm seems to do the thing but it seems to be the first algorithm developped to solve such problem and I've read it's not as good as the latest algorithms (correct me if that's wrong). Unfortunately the litterature gets a bit hard to read for me who know nothing of graph theory. I'd nonetheless like to (try to) implement for a maximum weighted maximum cardinality matching solver potentially unbalanced complete weighted bipartite graph, and if it works out add it to the BGL.

What are you trying to do? Building the library or building a program. If you want to build the library, 1st get bjam from here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7586&package_id=72941 Download boost-jam-3.1.14-1.ntx38.zip You will get from the zip file bjam.exe which you then do not need to build yourself! The next step is to build the boost library itself using bjam. I think the best is 1st to put the path to mingw from CodeBlock in your PATH environnement variable (Control Panel/System/Advanced/Environment variables) Then I think bjam can find alone the path to your gcc.

Apparent defect with boost::bind macro used for member function with boost::function
by Ben McCart 13 Jul '07

13 Jul '07

There appears to be a defect in bound_memfunc_ptr. This occurs when using boost::bind macro to bind an object with its class member function for use with the boost::function pointer. For example, when using boost::bind to bind an object and associated class member function to a pointer like this: class A { public: void some_function(int i){}; }; A a1; boost::function<void, int> pfa1; pfa1 = boost::bind(&A::some_function, &a1, _1); ...the bound_memfunc_ptr.memfunc_ptr is populated with the address of A::some_function. However, the bound_memfunc_ptr.obj_ptr apears to be uninitialized. (pfa1.functor.bound_memfunc_ptr.obj_ptr has an address of 0xcccccccc in MSVC 2005) The function pointer works just fine to make calls. Internally the functor is storing the address of a1. However the address of a1 is not exposed through the bound_memfunc_ptr interface. I have assumed that the obj_ptr member which is of type void* is supposed to be the address of a1. Since a1's address is not exposed, it is not possible to distinguish between boost::function pointers that point to a1's member some_function() and any other object of class A. With this condition boost::function is unsuitable for use in an observer design pattern since there is no way to distinguish which boost::function pointer points to an observer when an observer wants to remove itself (unsubscribe) from an event. So, does anybody have any recommendations? Is the obj_ptr member supposed to be what I think it is, or is it for another purpose? Is there any other way to get at the address of a bound object, so that the boost::function pointer can be uniquely identified? Thanks in advance, ~Ben

[smart_ptr] Getting segfaults with weak_ptr<T>::lock()
by Buddha Buck 13 Jul '07

13 Jul '07

I've run into a problem where a weak_ptr<> is segfaulting when I try to do a lock() call on it. It doesn't happen all the time, and I'm at a loss to see what's causing the problem. I have an implementation of the Observer pattern in my code using shared_ptr/weak_ptr: class Observer { public: virtual void update(shared_ptr<Observed> d) = 0; ... } class Observed : public enable_shared_from_this<Observed> { vector<weak_ptr<Observer> > _observers; public: void register(shared_ptr<Observer> o) { _observers.push_back(weak_ptr<Observer>(o)); } void notifyObservers() { vector<weak_ptr<Observer> >::iterator i; for (i = _observers.begin(); i != _observers.end(); observer++) { shared_ptr<Observer> o = i->lock(); if (o) o->update(shared_from_this()); } } ... } I'm trying to write a wxWidget that participates in the above Observer scheme, but quickly ran into a problem: wxWidgets passes around raw pointers and handles its own garbage-collection. If I created a shared_ptr<MyWidget>, wx would feel perfectly free to delete the object out from under the shared_ptr<>, which would be bad. My solution was: template <typename T> class wxObserver : public Observer { private: T* p; wxObserver(); public: wxObserver(T* p) : p(p); void update(shared_ptr<Observed> o) { if (p) p->update(o); } } class MyWidget : public wxWidget { private: shared_ptr<wxObserver<MyWidget> > observer; public: MyWidget(...) : wxWidget(...), observer(this) { ... observed->register(observer); ... } ... } The idea is that when a MyWidget is created, it creates a shared pointer to a wxObserver and can register that wxObserver with observed objects without a problem. When wxWidgets chooses to delete the MyWidget, the shared pointer the MyWidget goes away, the wxObserver is deleted, and the weak pointers held by the observed objects expire. The implementation of Observed::notifyObservers() checks to make sure that the observers still exist before update()ing them, and only the live observers are updated. The problem is that sometimes, after wxWidgets destroys a MyWidget, calls to Observed::notifyObservers() crashes with a segfault within the call to i->lock(). I can't see what's causing this. Worse, while it crashes consistantly and repeatedly at the same line, it doesn't appear to always crash after the same amount of work. Putting various {cerr << "got here";}-type lines within the code above doesn't always yield exactly the same results from run to run, even without recompiling. My thoughts are now that it might be a threading issue. Is there any good solutions to this problem? thanks, Buddha

[Graph] Maximum Cardinality Matching: weighted?
by Jean-Francois Bastien 12 Jul '07

12 Jul '07

Hello, I am just starting on using boost::graph and I would like to solve the following problem: I have a potentially unbalanced complete weighted bipartite graph and I would like to find the maximum weighted maximum cardinality matching for it. The immediate candidate for this seems to be the checked_edmonds_maximum_cardinality_matching. I realize that my graph is bipartite and that Edmond's algorithm is for general graph, but the graph library doesn't seem to have an algorithm optimized for bipartite graphs (please correct me if I'm wrong on this). My problem is this: in reading the documentation and the code I seem to understand that the implementation doesn't take into account the weight of the graphs. I'd like to know if it does take weights into account or not before I dive into learning the boost::graph library just to realize that it doesn't solve my problem. If the implementation doesn't take weights into account then is there another algorithm (or combination thereof) that I've overlooked from the library which could solve my problem? Sincerely, JF

Suggestion for iterator_facade documentation
by Max Motovilov 12 Jul '07

12 Jul '07

It is not immediately obvious how to correctly specify the template arguments for boost::iterator_facade<> with an output iterator. This particular case is not mentioned in the tutorial and the first impression is that using such category as std::output_iterator_tag should be all that's required. This is not the case; in order for the postincrement temporary NOT to create a copy of a [fake] pointed-to value OR a copy of the proxy, the user has to be very careful about Value and Reference arguments. Took me 3 tries and a thorough look into the sources to get it right: Value=<argument of Proxy::operator=> and Reference=Proxy&. Would be nice to add this use case to the tutorial since it is definitely tricky and error-prone as it is. Of course there might be ANOTHER piece of documentation describing it that I missed :( Regards, ...Max...

Hi Chun ping Wang, you seem to understand my problem. You say to run build.bat (see bjam.qbk), it's ok. Then you say to configure my environment. I've set the variables BOOST_ROOT and BOOST_BUILD_PATH but I get the message again. So I ask you what do you mean exactly by "configuring my environment"?

[Boost.Graph] Property map of a bundled property

Nobody knows the answer?:) Am I the only one confronted with this question? I mean I could define a structure to include my distance and pass it as a bundled property but isn't that a rather unclean way to manage the problem? Cheers Ewgenij

Compressed socket iostream
by gyrotech＠freakinabox.com 12 Jul '07

12 Jul '07

I've been looking over the boost documentation, but I can find anything to help me create an iostream for a socket. Can anyone point me in the direction of a tutorial or such that could help?? I found some references to asio, which was merged with boost in 2005, but the iostreams documentation was last updated in 2004. Also, is it possible\easy to add one of the compressing streams (basic_zlib_compressor for example) to an output socket stream so all the data sent over that TCP connection is compressed?? And on top of all of this, how would I go about making a stream that, if it had a socket connection, would stream data over that, otherwise to a file, both with the aforementioned compression? Thanks in advance, GyroTech

[lexical_cast] C4701 local variable 'result' may be used without having been initialized
by Berny Cantos 12 Jul '07

12 Jul '07

Hi, I'm using boost::lexical_cast often in my application, but then I use it to convert strings to integral types and the compiler (MSVC 7.1) threw me a warning: C4701: local variable 'result' may be used without having been initialized Looking at lexical_cast implementation I found this template<typename Target, typename Source> Target lexical_cast(Source arg) { detail::lexical_stream<Target, Source> interpreter; // THIS is guilty of not been initialized Target result; if(!(interpreter << arg && interpreter >> result)) throw_exception(bad_lexical_cast(typeid(Source), typeid(Target))); return result; } I was asking myself... why not use Fernando Cacciola's boost::value_initialized to avoid these warnings? template<typename Target, typename Source> Target lexical_cast(Source arg) { detail::lexical_stream<Target, Source> interpreter; // This can't raise any uninitialized related warning boost::value_initialized<Target> result; if(!(interpreter << arg && interpreter >> get(result))) // Must use get idiom throw_exception(bad_lexical_cast(typeid(Source), typeid(Target))); return get(result); // Must use get idiom } Somebody can explain me this? Is this warning a compiler issue? Thanks in advance Berny Cantos AZ Interactive SL

[Boost.Lambda] Can't bind (do a partial application on) basic operands
by Kirit Sælensminde 11 Jul '07

11 Jul '07

I'm trying to really understand the limits of what can be done in C++ with Boost.Function and Boost.Lambda by implementing a number of functional programming idioms in C++. I've done a few fairly complicated things, but seem to have run into a problem with a really basic one. I just want to do a partial application on some basic operands. This is what I'm trying to do: boost::function< int( int ) > increment( boost::lambda::_1 + 1 ); This gives an error that operator + isn't defined for the Boost placeholder type. If I add the following it works: template< typename V > V add( V l, V r ) { return l + r; } template< typename S > boost::function< S ( S ) > operator +( const boost::lambda::placeholder1_type, S s ) { return boost::lambda::bind( add< S >, boost::lambda::_1, s ); } I guess there's a huge number of these that could (should?) be added. Is this an oversight, or am I doing things with the library that I'm not meant to do? I'm using MSVC 7.1 and Boost 1.34.0 release candidate. K

composing with boost::bind
by Pieter Op de Beeck 11 Jul '07

11 Jul '07

Hi, I would like to accomplish the following: "bind a functor to a reference and compose this with another functor". Ultimately I would like to use this composition with the reference embedded in it. If I write it like this: functor_type h = bind(f, bind(g, ref(b))); it works alright. However, in my situation the binding of g is done somewhere else in the program, so have: functor_type temp = bind(g, ref(b)); ... functor_type h = bind(f, temp); Sadly enough this does not appear to work. I don't have a reference to b in h(). I'm sure bind works the way it was intended. I'm more interested in whether you guys now how to achieve the effect I'm trying to achieve? Much appreciated, Pieter. Some additional context: using namespace boost; typedef function<bool ()> functor_type; struct f { bool operator()(bool b) { return !b; } }; struct g { bool operator()(bool b) { return b; } }; bool b; The effect I'm trying to achieve: b = true; b = h(); // produces !b, so b is now false b = h(); // produces !b, so b is now true (in the second case above this would produce false again because there appears to be no reference to b in h()) Pieter Op de Beeck www.visysglobal.com

intrusive_ptr and NULL value
by Pavel Syomin 10 Jul '07

10 Jul '07

Hi, guys! I found embarrassing difference between shared_ptr::operator*() and intrusive_ptr::operator*() behavior (even the same I can say about operator ->). At first, look on shared_ptr: reference operator* () const // never throws { BOOST_ASSERT(px != 0); return *px; } If shared_ptr object has NULL value and someone call operator*(), it will throws exception. But if we look on intrusive_ptr(): T & operator*() const { return *p_; } we can see, that pointer don't checks.... Is it an imperfection or a feature?

feature for multidimensional binary tree

I have heard about your library from a friend and badly i haven't found some kind of template binary tree implementation... What i'm working on is a multi dimensional binary tree to make Quadtrees Octrees or more.... And I want to make genericity to put several types of object in the same Leaf of my tree... I think this idea sounds like a cool stuff ...Is there laready any structure in Boost that can be use like it ? Or What do you think of this feature? ************************************************************************************ This footnote confirms that this email message has been scanned by PineApp Mail-SeCure for the presence of malicious code, vandals & computer viruses. ************************************************************************************

[serialization] hacking serialization : handles to pointers
by Sean Cavanaugh 10 Jul '07

10 Jul '07

Ok I've spent a good chunk of my day making a set of custom archive class, based on the portable_binary_iarchive and portable_binary_oarchive. I have a non-virtual class hierarchy named Asset, in memory this is a cyclic graph, but my requirements are that this structure cannot be serialized all at once, it has to be broken up at boundaries. So the archiver serializes the first Asset* (which is always the root object passed into operator&). This object serializes as normally as per the boost serialization code, except except that when subsequent Asset*'s are encountered I send the pointer into an AssetManager class and translate the Asset* into a ResourceID, and serialize the ResourceID instead of the object. This is done by directly calling operator& inside save_override. So far all of this works: The reverse case of loading, by hooking load_override almost works. Almost, because I have to apply a hack of skipping 4 bytes inside load_override, before trying to read the ResourceID structure with operator&. I can't figure out how to make it 'proper', without simply hard coding the 4 byte read. As far as I can tell before save_override some bookkeeping information is written, but the reverse operation in load_override has not yet stripped this bookkeeping information from the stream, so these functions aren't quite mirror operations. As best as I can tell the function guilty of reading the bookkeeping information is load_pointer. What I need is another function in the boost archive API that pulls the bookkeeping information out of the stream safely, that I can call from within load_override, since I have no intention of calling load_pointer through any means. Aside from the hack, it technically works, but even then I still have a few aching problems: I also have to hard-code the full list of derived Asset types and manually provide specializations for all of them in save_override and load_override. If I use the base class, I end up slicing my class down to its base, and cannot serialize it. I can't make serialize virtual, since the intrusive serialize methods are templates, but it certainly would solve the problem if it were possible. In addition the bodies of all of my overrides are completely identical except for the classname (AssetModel, AssetTexture, etc). Which means I'll be wrapping the bodies of a generic save_override and load_override in a macro, and have to manually add all Asset derived classes to a list of classes inside my archive class. Which means that my archiver cannot be generic, even though I have managed to make it a template in the sense that the passed in asset manager and base asset types are template parameters. the type ResourceID is a std::string saving... class asset_oarchive : ... void save_override(const AssetModel& t, int i) { if (!RootAssetSaved) { RootAssetSaved = true; binary_oarchive_impl::save_override(t, i); } else { AssetManagerType::ResourceID ResourceId = TheAssetManager->ResourceIdForAsset(&t); operator&(ResourceId); } } loading ... class asset_iarchive : ... void load_override(AssetModel*& t, int i) { if (!RootAssetLoaded) { RootAssetLoaded = true; binary_iarchive_impl::load_override(t, i); } else { unsigned char c[10]; for (INT x=0; x<10; ++x) { c[x] = 0xFF; } for (INT x=0; x<4; ++x) { operator&(c[x]); //hackhack } AssetManagerType::ResourceID ResourceId; operator&(ResourceId); AssetType* a = TheAssetManager->FindAsset(ResourceId); if (!a) { a = TheAssetManager->LoadAsset(ResourceId); } // TODO: throw on missing resources, potentially query asset manager for substitutes t = static_cast<AssetModel*>(a); } } So I have a working implementation, how do I make it better?

Matlab files effectively consist of carefully concatenated compressed and uncompressed files. Effectively I could take out a compressed block from a matlab file and send it to gunzip. Also, in my code strict_sync returns true, unlike what the original poster in the mentioned thread has experienced, indicating that all has been flushed and written and switching filters is ok. I also check after every pop() if the fstream has been closed, and it has not. Using a different z stream wrapper (zipstream) works (mostly) and gives me the original data, while the boost approach gives me zeros. Well, I will try to make a simpler test case, since the program is quite complex. thanks 4 the reply Daniel
