remove_if and transform_iterator
by Josue Gomes 13 Dec '05

13 Dec '05

Hi, Can transform_iterator be used in conjunction with remove_if algorithm? The compiler (vc7.1, vc8, g++) is refusing to compile this: #include <string> #include <utility> #include <vector> #include <functional> #include <cassert> #include <iostream> #include <boost/iterator/transform_iterator.hpp> std::vector<std::pair<std::string, int> > c; struct to_num { typedef int result_type; int operator()(const std::pair<std::string, int>& p) const { return p.second; } }; int main() { using std::make_pair; c.push_back(make_pair("A", 2)); c.push_back(make_pair("A", 3)); c.push_back(make_pair("A", 4)); c.push_back(make_pair("A", 15)); c.push_back(make_pair("A", 16)); c.push_back(make_pair("A", 17)); assert(c.size() == 6); std::remove_if( boost::make_transform_iterator(c.begin(), to_num()), boost::make_transform_iterator(c.end(), to_num()), std::bind1st(std::less_equal<int>(), 10)); assert(c.size() == 6); } Regards, Josue

i try to find a solution for eliminating all duplicates of types in a non-integral sequence. the only extisting solution i found has a set< > as output, but i want to keep the sequence type. the following code _should_ solve the problem, but there seems to be something wrong with it. if someone has an idea... #include <boost/mpl/assert.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/vector.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/fold.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/empty_sequence.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/contains.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/if.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/joint_view.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/single_view.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/size.hpp> using namespace boost::mpl; struct E {}; struct F {}; struct G {}; struct H {}; int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { typedef vector< E, E, F, E, G, H, G, G, F, G >::type with_duplicates; typedef fold< with_duplicates, empty_sequence, if_< contains< _1, _2 >::type, _1, joint_view< _1, single_view< _2 >::type >::type >::type >::type without_duplicates; BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_RELATION(size<with_duplicates>::value, ==, 10); BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_RELATION(size<without_duplicates>::value, ==, 4); return 0; } much thanks in advance, karl

Yes thats ok, but I was serializing more than one map in the same class and I wanted to maintain the separation in xml.

I do find the refactoring (conditionally initialize after a load) a little forced however. Thanks again for the response. -- Peter Whaite.

[Graph] dijkstra_shortest_paths color map
by Daniel Mitchell 12 Dec '05

12 Dec '05

I work with very large implicit graphs that use out-of-core storage for properties, including the vertex color property, but the following bit of code in dijkstra_shortest_paths_no_init (boost-1.33.0) seems to preclude the use of a custom color map. std::vector<default_color_type> color(num_vertices(g)); default_color_type c = white_color; breadth_first_visit(g, s, Q, bfs_vis, make_iterator_property_map(&color[0], index_map, c)); What is the rationale for the above code, and how should I work around it?

BGL dijksra_shortest_path and boost::on_initialize_vertex
by Andreas Fabri 12 Dec '05

12 Dec '05

Hello, I have my own graph model and want to run dikstra_shortest_path on it. I want a dijkstra_visitor to initialize the id's of my vertices, struct initialize_index : public boost::base_visitor<initialize_index> { int i; typedef boost::on_initialize_vertex event_filter; initialize_index(int i_) : i(i_) {} template <class Vertex, class Graph> void operator()(Vertex v, Graph& G) { std::cout << "i = " << i << std::endl; v->id() = i++; } }; . . . . boost::dijkstra_shortest_paths(ft, source , distance_map(distance_pmap) .predecessor_map(predecessor_pmap) .visitor(make_dijkstra_visitor(initialize_index(0)))); but the operator is never called. Is that a bug ? Shouldbn't it be called by the bfs performed in dijkstra_shortest_paths_no_init ? Also when looking in the header file dijkstra_shortest_paths.hpp I see that the color map gets initialized before the vertices get initialized. I would expect that the vertices get initialized before the color map gets initialized, because if the vertex_index_map is not set up correctly ... andreas

[bjam][mingw] signals fails to build + solution
by Paul 12 Dec '05

Hi all, I had a problem with boost 1.33.1, building it on windows XP inside the msys (MinGW) environment. The link step generates this command: "g++" "-Wl,--enable-auto-image-base" "-Wl,--exclude-symbols,_bss_end__:_bss_start__:_data_end__:_data_start__" "-Wl,--out-implib,..\..\..\bin\boost\libs\signals\build\boost_signals.dll\mingw\debug\boost_signals-mgw-d-1_33_1.lib" -g -shared -Wl,--allow-multiple-definition -mno-cygwin -o "..\..\..\bin\boost\libs\signals\build\boost_signals.dll\mingw\debug\boost_signals-mgw-d-1_33_1.dll" -L"" "..\..\..\bin\boost\libs\signals\build\boost_signals.dll\mingw\debug\trackable.obj" "..\..\..\bin\boost\libs\signals\build\boost_signals.dll\mingw\debug\connection.obj" "..\..\..\bin\boost\libs\signals\build\boost_signals.dll\mingw\debug\named_slot_map.obj" "..\..\..\bin\boost\libs\signals\build\boost_signals.dll\mingw\debug\signal_base.obj" "..\..\..\bin\boost\libs\signals\build\boost_signals.dll\mingw\debug\slot.obj" and it fails, giving a message about not being able to find a symbol for a method in trackable. I edited tools/build/v1/mingw-tools.jam and added this line: flags mingw STDLIBPATH : $(GCC_BIN_DIRECTORY) ; + flags mingw LIBPATH : $(GCC_BIN_DIRECTORY) ; } And tried again.

I suspect that having any -L"" is a bad idea, and if there is no parameter, it should be omitted all together. I bet this command works ONLY because, to g++, it looks like g++ blah blah -L"-L" ie the second -L becomes the parameter for the first -L (spaces are allowed after the -L flag). I dont understand bjam's Jamfiles well enough to fix this properly. Can someone help put together a patch for this? Thanks Paul

boost::sub_range vs boost::iterator_range
by Victor A. Wagner Jr. 11 Dec '05

11 Dec '05

After reading (and re-reading a few times) the documentation on range, it appears to me that there is little (if any) difference between: boost::sub_range<T> and boost::iterator_range<T::iterator> I've been working on a N way merge algorithm for work, and thought it might be a nice chance to learn bost::range and maybe even get it general enough to submit for boost utility some day. At any rate. Here's the problem: I've written a test case and two implementations (work still in progress) but I get compile errors when I try to use sub_range. the code can be found at http://www.noidea128.org/sourcefiles/15646~ to change the program from compiling/running the iterator_range to sub_range simply change the lne from: Nway_merge(contain, ourmerged); -to- SNway_merge(contain, ourmerged); my compiler (VC-8_0) gives two errors which I cannot decipher. Any assistance would be appreciated.... especially if I've misunderstood why sub_range instead of iterator_range. Victor A.

mapping strings to indexes at compile time - MPL map?
by Paul Baxter 10 Dec '05

10 Dec '05

I have a fixed list of parameter names and with each an associated set of attributes. I wish to access the attributes via the parameter name rather than the equivalent list entry index. In the past, we've created ENUMs with meaningful names to represent the parameter name->index mapping but I can't help feeling there must be a better way usng the name directly without this extra artificial mapping type. Rather than access an attribute of a given parameter via a numerical index into an array of attribute structures or similar, I'd like to be able to use the name field directly. I would like the name->index mapping to happen at compile time so as not to include some run-time overhead. // Define a list of all allowable parameter names along with associated attributes .. // Not necessarily the required syntax unsigned config_offset = parameter["third parameter"].get_byte_offset(); I want a compile time error if "third parameter" isn't a valid name, and if it is valid, I want the code to reduce to parameter[3].get_byte_offset() which the compiler would further reduce to an inlined access to the right attribute. I've tried looking at the MPL map, but am having difficulty with the documentation though I confess part of this may be a lack of familiarity with meta template programming. Can anyone point me to the right area of Boost for doing this name->index mapping at compile time.

ANN: asio formal review begins
by Jeff Garland 10 Dec '05

10 Dec '05

I'm cross-posting this announcement to the user list as I expect that there will be high interest in this review. Please post reviews on the developer list. ------------- All - Today (Dec 10th) is the start of the format review of the Asynchronous I/O library (asio) library by Christopher Kohlhoff. The review will run until Friday December 23rd. I will be serving as review manager. From the library synopsis: Boost.Asio is a cross-platform C++ library for network programming that provides developers with a consistent asynchronous I/O model using a modern C++ approach. Downloads of the library as well as online documentation can be found at: http://asio.sourceforge.net/ (please refresh the page if you don't see "Boost Review Material" at the top) http://asio.sourceforge.net/boost-asio-proposal-0.3.6/libs/asio/doc/ As usual, please state in review comments how you reviewed the library and whether the you think the library should be accepted into Boost. Further guidelines for writing reviews can be found on the website at: http://www.boost.org/more/formal_review_process.htm#Comments Please review early and often! Thanks, Jeff ******************************************************* A Few Library Details: ******************************************************* Supported Platforms The following platforms and compilers have been tested: * Win32 using Visual C++ 7.1 and Visual C++ 8.0. * Win32 using Borland C++Builder 6 patch 4. * Win32 using MinGW. * Linux (2.4 or 2.6 kernels) using g++ 3.3 or later. * Solaris using g++ 3.3 or later. * Mac OS X 10.4 using g++ 3.3 or later. Rationale The Boost.Asio library is intended for programmers using C++ for systems programming, where access to operating system functionality such as networking is often required. In particular, Boost.Asio attempts to address the following goals: * Portability. The library should support, and provide consistent behaviour across, a range of commonly used operating systems. * Scalability. The library should allow, and indeed encourage, the development of network applications that scale to hundreds or thousands of concurrent connections. The library implementation for each operating system should use the mechanism that best enables this scalability. * Efficiency. The library should support techniques such as scatter-gather I/O, and allow protocol implementations that minimise data copying. * Model Berkeley sockets. The Berkeley sockets API is widely implemented and understood, as well as being covered in much literature. Other programming languages often use a similar interface for networking APIs. * Ease of use. Lower the entry barrier for new users by taking a toolkit, rather than framework, approach. That is, try to minimise the up-front investment in time to just learning a few basic rules and guidelines. After that, a library user should only need to understand the specific functions that are being used. * Basis for further abstraction. The library should permit the development of other libraries that provide higher levels of abstraction. For example, implementations of commonly used protocols such as HTTP. Although the current incarnation of Boost.Asio focuses primarily on networking, its concepts of asynchronous I/O can be extended to include other operating system resources such as files.

[Boost-users ] [program options: Is there a way to remove some options from the variables_map?]
by Suresh T 09 Dec '05

09 Dec '05

hi, I would like to know if there is any method provided to remove selected options from variables map. I am using program options to parse and assign initial values to all parameters in an application. I have a situtation where i would like to remove some of the parameters from the store ( variables_map) before i call notify. ( before the program options part is called i get a list of options that are already initialized. These options should not be parsed again) Currently i am using a dirty approach of removing the options from the command line/ini file. If i can directly remvoe the options from the store it will be much easier ( and safer). As allow_unregistered is supported now, i would not have to bother about unknown options in the command line. Thanks & --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Regards, Suresh.T

serialization: loading std::map replaces existing map data objects
by Peter Whaite 09 Dec '05

09 Dec '05

I was kinda hoping I could construct a std::map with default data objects, then use serialization to overwrite some of the their member variables. Unfortunately serialization completely replaces the map's data objects. I see in 'collections_load_imp.hpp' what I presume is code to do what I want but it is commented out: template<class Archive, class Container, class InputFunction, class R> inline void load_collection(Archive & ar, Container &s){ // if(0 != (ar.get_flags() & boost::archive::no_object_creation)) // copy_collection<Archive, Container>(ar, s); // else rebuild_collection<Archive, Container, InputFunction, R>(ar, s); Is there any chance that copy_collection will work one day, or has it been abandoned? --- Peter Whaite.

Hi all, I come across a bug in boost::posix_time::time_from_string(); try { ptime t1(time_from_string("2005-01-01")); cout << to_simple_string(t1) << endl; } catch (...) { cout << "exception thrown" << endl; } The above code will strangely output: "2005-Mar-25 13:01:01" time_from_string() will parse "2005-01-01 12", "2005-01-01 12:23" and "2005-01-01 12:23:33" correctly. It will even parse "2005-01-01 34" to the next day and output "2005-Jan-02 10:00:00" Does anyone have a fix for this bug? It should either parse correctly or it should throw an exception.

interval library: simple rounding control?
by Reinder Verlinde 08 Dec '05

08 Dec '05

I am trying to use the boost interval library. It works fine, until I try to use exp, log, or one of the goniometric functions: error: 'struct boost ::numeric::interval_lib::detail::save_state_unprotected< boost::numeric::interval_lib::rounded_arith_opp< double, boost::numeric::interval_lib::rounding_control<double> > >' has no member named 'cos_up' and similar errors for cos_down, sin_up, etc. I read the documentation, but could not find what to do about this. From <http://www.boost.org/libs/numeric/interval/doc/rounding.htm>, I get the impression that I need to write a rounding policy, but am at a loss about how to do this. My problem is twofold: - getting this to be compiled using erroneous versions of this where cos_up and cos_down simply call 'cos' - getting correct versions of cos_up, etc. Any help is appreciated.

Re: [Boost-users] Find all the shortest path from a graph

Hi Volodya, thanks for this solution [k_shortest.hpp]. It compiles and works for the files given (with minor changes - commenting out the io::<< declaration and some cout statements). However, when I use bundledProps for vectices and edges, I get compilation errors. So, for instance if the graph definition used is the following, instead of the one you have in the example k_shortest_test.cpp, then the compilation fails. struct CCRVertexProps { std::string vertex_name; // name of CCR int tmp; // could be anything }; struct CCREdgeProps { string name; // edgename int edge_weight_t; }; typedef boost::adjacency_list<vecS,vecS,bidirectionalS,CCRVertexProps, CCREdgeProps> myGraph; Do you have any recommendations (other than changing my graph definitions), to make it work with bundledProps ? I tried the simplistic changes recommended from http://www.boost.org/libs/graph/doc/bundles.html (&CCREdgeProps::edge_weight_t in the put() and get() calls), but there are still lots of errors. thanks for any help! -harsh top message of compilation errors is at the end of this mail.. >From boost archives: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Giulio, > Hi all, > > I'd like to extract all possible shortest path from a source to a > destination... not only one path.

SIGSEGV in pthread_mutex_lock with Boost::threads
by Shridhar Daithankar 08 Dec '05

08 Dec '05

Hello, I am writing a thread pool implementation and experiencing SIGSEGV in pthread_mutex_lock under very heavy load. The crashes are repeatable and always produce the same backtrace. Brief description: The threadpool creates the thread with default function objects on request. The default function object launch a user defined function object along with other house keeping. When done the the thread returns itself to pool of free threads(a std::vector) for further assignment. The pool also keeps a map of thread_id(pthread_t) to thread object so that it can signal termination to all of the threads, busy or not. The test has a short function object defined as struct f2 : public pyr::threadFunction { virtual void operator()(void) { int i=0; i++; } }; It assigns the thread from pool to an object of above type in very tight loop. It works will it attempts 600000 objects. Around 700000 objects it starts producing segfaults. There is no importance of either of the figure from testing point of view but the crash is certainly not what I expect. I stumbled upon http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2005/04/11196.php but this does not seem to be the case in here. But I don't know for sure if I can trust the error checking method I have used.

newbie problems with installing boost for vc 7.1
by Piotr Obrzut 08 Dec '05

hi, I know related questions was asked before, but I think my situatuation is special: My visual studio instalation is devided on 2 partitions. That's why I think runing vsvars32.bat might not be enough before installing boost (after runing it, boost instalator didn't found my vc7 files). First it was problems with cl.exe (fixed by changing PATH), but later I recieved this message: D:\programowanie\boost_1_33_1>bjam "-sTOOLS=vc-7_1" install ****************************************************** Building Boost.Iostreams with bzip2 support disabled.

iteration from pure abstract classes
by Hugh Hoover 08 Dec '05

08 Dec '05

I have a need to provide STL compliant iterators from an abstract class A, that is, without knowing the runtime type of the actual "collection" being iterated.. As near as I can tell, these things don't mix well. My best so far is to create an abstract "iterator_assister" which provides dereference, (in|de)crement and is_equal, and use a boost::iterator_adaptor derived class to provide the iterator the client code uses, and allocate the iterator_assister derived class from the implementation class (derived from A) that's being iterated over. This solution has obvious downsides. I can't imagine that this is a unique problem. Certainly, people significantly smarter than me have figured out a good solution to this? In my reading and browsing, though, I've never seen the problem presented, never mind solved. In my early C++ days, we used allocated iterators rather than the current STL style. Can anyone provide pointers to what I SHOULD be reading for a good solution? I believe I NEED to use abstract classes here rather than meta- programming with known types at runtime - the client code will need to iterate over classes loaded from dynamic libraries that are not known to the client code (except by abstract interface). Thanks Hugh Hoover Enumclaw Software

Re: [Boost-users] how to disable autolink feature?
by Marco Azimonti 07 Dec '05

07 Dec '05

Hello Andre, >so what to do? is there a flag to disable autolink? you can modify the file boost/config/user.hpp (http://www.boost.org/libs/config/config.htm) Quote.. /// BOOST_WHATEVER_NO_LIB Tells the config system not to automatically select which library to link against for library "whatever", replace WHATEVER in the macro name with the name of the library; for example BOOST_DATE_TIME_NO_LIB or BOOST_REGEX_NO_LIB. Normally if a compiler supports #pragma lib, then the correct library build variant will be automatically selected and linked against, simply by the act of including one of that library's headers. This macro turns that feature off. ///// Marco

how to disable autolink feature?
by Andre Krause 07 Dec '05

07 Dec '05

dear boost-users, could someone explain me how to disable the autolink feature of boost? why? 1. no hassle with configurations ( i become independent from the compile mode, i.e. debug/release/multithreaded etc) 2. i do NOT like to be forced to any naming conventions for the libs 3. i do not want to build the full boost lib, just want to include the .cpp files from the few libs of boost i'm using. just including the cpp files works, but the project does not link because visual c++ stops linking because it does not find the libs automagically and unwanted inserted into my project by autolink somewhere.. sadly there even is no simple way to disable the #pragma comment(lib, "autolinkwantstogivealongnametoiostreams.lib"). so what to do? is there a flag to disable autolink?

Hello Rene, thank you for your prompt answer and the suggestion. >I think you also have to follow all the docs for vc-7_1-stlport. I.e. >set the various STLPORT* options. Although maybe you already had that >since you where already using it? Various ways to make sure: use the >"-d+2" to see what the commands executed are and if they reference >STlport, add "-sBUILD=<stlport-version>5.0" or such to force it to use >the STLport you have. Effectively, I just copy and modify a little bit my configuration for vc_71-stlport. Unfortunately, it does not work The compilation of all the file is failing as in this case... zlib.cpp K:\coding\src\boost_1_33_1/boost/detail/sp_counted_base_w32.hpp(68): error: namespace "stlpd_std" has no member "type_info" virtual void * get_deleter( std::type_info const & ti ) = 0; compilation aborted for K:\coding\src\boost_1_33_1\libs\iostreams\build\..\src\zlib.cpp (code 4) It seems to me that it is not accepting the -stlport (and the stlport options).

Thread Library and Borland Builder 6
by Hibbeler, Jens 07 Dec '05

Hello I have sucessfully compiled the Boost Library, but I can`t use it. I get a error an the programm chrashes. I have testes it with the files in the example folder. Perhaps anyone can give me a hint, how I get ahead or where my error lies? Which I did: 0) Executed Borland builder Patch No. 4 1) Downloaded Spirit 1.6.3, set environment variable SPIRIT_ROOT on the Spirit listing 2) Set environment variable BCCROOT on c:\programme\borland\cbuilder6 3) Dowloaded the Boost LIBRARY (tried one after the other from 1_32-1_33 beta, all versions), and set the BOOST_ROOT environment variable to the listing in which I boost unpacked. 4) At the Boost tools\build\listing\build.bat executed (compiles correctly for Boland) 5) Executed tools\build\jam_src\bin.ntx86\bjam.exe "- sTOOLS=borland" install (compiled also, but with few warnings) 6) At the listing, in which I unpacked Boost, I started the libs\thread\example file once.cpp 7) I made a Porjekt to compile the file 8) I set atthe project settings the include path on C:\Boost\include\boost-1_32 9) I set atthe project attitudes the LIBRARY path on C:\Boost\lib \ 10) The program compiled and linked 11) When starting the project it crhases immediately and started the monitor, which indicates the storage addresses to me. Where does my error lie? Do I have to adjust something special in the Porjekt still? Many greetings from Hamburg, Jens

Intel Compiler on Windows with stlport
by Marco Azimonti 07 Dec '05

07 Dec '05

Hello, I am recently moving from Microsoft to Intel C++ Compiler on windows. Currently I am as well using (|vc-7_1-stlport|) stlport. On the boost documentation page for intel Compiler (http://www.boost.org/tools/build/v1/intel-win32-tools.html) is written that the base toolset for it could |msvc|, |vc7|, or |vc-7_1|. However, |vc-7_1-stlport| is not mentioned. If I set the base toolset |INTEL_BASE_MSVC_TOOLSET| to |vc-7_1-stlport |(and setting the proper stlport options) the build does not produce any error, but I am not sure it is compiling what I want.. ;) It is that enough or do I have to modify the procedure in some way? Thank you in advance, Marco .. http://www.murex.com/webdoc/MUREXTopTechnologyVendor.pdf

Wave: how to recover after errors?
by Max Motovilov 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

I have a simple problem: wave warnings (specifically, macro re-definition) are reported as exceptions thrown from [potentially, any of, at least I don't yet know better] the methods of pp_iterator. It is very simple to catch one and print a message, however I can't figure out how to recover after one. Can't seem to find any mention of error recovery in documentation, tried some variations of last_known_good_iterator (store a copy before every increment, restore back to known copy in exception handler) -- it recovers simple cases but on more complex files there appears to be internal state corruption. Also, even when this recovery works, it leaves macro in the pre-redefinition state whereas the usual cpp policy is to allow redefinition and print a warning. I thought of using a preventive strategy -- undefine the existing macro from a policy method -- but unfortunately the exception is thrown before defined_macro() is called. Looks like it's time to ask the owners of the library: how do I do this? :-) Thanks in advance, ...Max... PS. I am using 1.33.0; should I _really_ _really_ be upgrading to 1.33.1 to get this resolved?

[serialization] seriazation from base pointer / Runtime Casting
by __PPS__ 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

is it possible to have this exported from dll: ///export.h/// #include <boost/serialization/serialization.hpp> class session_record { virtual void print_on(std::ostream& os) const = 0; friend std::ostream & operator<<(std::ostream& os, const session_record& sr){ sr.print_on(os); return os; } public: friend class boost::serialization::access; virtual ~session_record(); template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int file_version){} operator session_record *(); }; void serialize(session_record* derived, const char* file_name); session_record* deserialize(const char* file_name); ///end of export.h/// and then in an application (linked to the dll that exports all from export.h) I create derived classes from session_record and serialize or deserialize them to/from files using the two exported free functions. I followed exactly steps in "Runtime Casting" of the manual, but it doesn't work. So... is it really runtime if it doesn't work this way - it only works if all the derived classes are known & registered at the time of compilation of the two functions. All that worked well if everything from export.h was linked statically, but not dynamically Am I doing something wrong with all that stuff?? thanks

STLPort & VC++ 8?
by Jerker Öhman 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

Does anyone know if there are plans to support STLPort 5 with Visual C++ 8? Although Microsoft know ships a good implementation of STL, STLPort is much faster and has a nice debug mode so I think it would be nice to continue to support it. /Jerker

Boost.Filesystem DLL builds on Mingw
by Alo Sarv 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

The topic itself is already few months old, namely the fact that Boost.Filesystem library breaks on Mingw in DLL builds. As I see from regression tests, this issue hasn't been fixed yet. The reason I'm bringing this up again is that while originally it was concluded that static builds should be used on Mingw instead of DLL builds, it is becoming an increasing problem for me, since default_name_check doesn't work across DLL boundaries when B.FS is linked statically to one of the DLL's, which results unexpected exceptions being thrown all over my codebase unless I explicitly construct paths using native name-checker, but tracking all those places is a constant headache. Is there any plans on addressing this issue, or are there any additional workarounds to have default_name_check functioanlity working across DLL boundaries when Boost.Filesystem is linked statically? My experience has been that mixing dynamic and static libraries is a really bad idea... Alo Sarv

[boost][lambda] additional placeholders
by Noel Belcourt 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

HI, I'm trying to extend the number of placeholders in boost lambda 1.33.0. There are three available by default and I need at least one more (_4) . I've followed the pattern establish for _3 to define _4, modifying the following files along the way. // lambda/core.hpp boost::lambda::placeholder3_type free3 = boost::lambda::placeholder3_type(); boost::lambda::placeholder4_type free4 = boost::lambda::placeholder4_type(); boost::lambda::placeholder3_type& _3 = free3; boost::lambda::placeholder4_type& _4 = free4; // lambda/detail/lambda_functors.hpp template<> struct placeholder<FOURTH> { template<class SigArgs> struct sig { typedef typename detail::get_element_or_null_type<3, SigArgs>::type type; }; template<class RET, CALL_TEMPLATE_ARGS> RET call(CALL_FORMAL_ARGS) const { CALL_USE_ARGS; return c; } }; typedef const lambda_functor<placeholder<THIRD> > placeholder3_type; typedef const lambda_functor<placeholder<FOURTH> > placeholder4_type; // lambda/detail/arity_code.hpp enum { NONE = 0x00, // Notice we are using bits as flags here. FIRST = 0x01, SECOND = 0x02, THIRD = 0x04, FOURTH = 0x08, EXCEPTION = 0x10, RETHROW = 0x20}; So now _4 is defined but I get compilation errors from boost/function/function_template.hpp when I attempt to use _4. Is there some change necessary to either lambda placeholders or to boost function to get it to work correctly? Thanks, -- Noel Belcourt // With the changes above, this code fails with the message below. #include <boost/function.hpp> #include <boost/lambda/bind.hpp> using namespace boost; using namespace

Automatically including libaries
by Chris Morley 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

Hi, this is a how-is-it-done question rather than a problem. Ive learnt a lot about c++ from using boost, but this one I just cant work out. I installed boost and it dumped all the libraries in c\boost\lib.Now I am slightly confused how I'm able to simply reference a header file in c:\boost\include\blahblah yet I don't have to include the specific libraries... somehow its done for me?! This is using visual studio, and whenever I have built lib files I have to include the header file as usual, but also have to explicitly drag the lib file into the project (or under the required libraries in the linker tab). Any idea how this is done? Would love to be able to do this with my libs! Cheers, Chris

[Announce] Boost 1.33.1 released
by Douglas Gregor 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

Boost 1.33.1, the latest version of peer-reviewed, portable C++ libraries, has been released. This is a bug fix release addressing many small problems with the 1.33.0 release. It is a recommended upgrade for all users of Boost 1.33.0. Boost is available at http://www.boost.org Updated Libraries include: * Any Library: Cast to reference types introduced in 1.33.0 is now documented on any_cast documentation page. * Config Library: Don't undef BOOST_LIB_TOOLSET after use. * Boost.Python: o The build now assumes Python 2.4 by default, rather than 2.2 o Support Python that's built without Unicode support o Support for wrapping classes with overloaded address-of (&) operators * Smart Pointer Library: Fixed problems under Metrowerks CodeWarrior on PowerPC (Mac OS X) with inlining on, GNU GCC on PowerPC 64. * Regex Library: Fixed the supplied makefiles, and other small compiler specific changes. Refer to the regex history page for more information on these and other small changes. * Iostreams Library: Improved the interface for accessing a chain's components, added is_open members to the file and file descriptor devices, fixed memory-mapped files on Windows, and made minor changes to the documentation. * Functional/Hash Library: Fixed the points example. * Multi-index Containers Library: Fixed a problem with multithreaded code, and other minor changes. Refer to the library release notes for further details. * Graph Library: o Fixed a problem with the relaxed heap on x86 Linux (fixes bug in dijkstra_shortest_paths). o Fixed problems with cuthill_mckee_ordering and king_ordering producing no results. o Added color_map parameter to dijkstra_shortest_paths. * Signals Library: Fixed problems with the use of Signals across shared library boundaries. * Thread library: read_write_mutex has been removed due to problems with deadlocks. * Wave library (V1.2.1) Fixed a couple of problems, refer to the change log for further details. Supported Compilers Boost is tested on a wide range of compilers and platforms. Since Boost libraries rely on modern C++ features not available in all compilers, not all Boost libraries will work with every compiler. The following compilers and platforms have been extensively tested with Boost, although many other compilers and platforms will work as well. For more information, see the regression test results. New for this release: Support for building with the newest STLport-5.0 was added. The support includes building with MinGW Runtime 3.8 plus STLport-5.0 improved to support wide character operations. Apple GCC 4.0, HP Tru64 C++, and Microsoft Visual C++ 8.0 are supported platforms. We have added an experimental autoconf-like configure script for Unix-like systems: run configure --help for more information. * Apple GCC 3.3, 4.0 on Mac OS X. * Borland C++ 5.6.4 on Windows. * GNU C++ 2.95.3 (with and without STLport), 3.2.x., 3.3.x, 3.4.x, 4.0.x on Windows, Linux and Solaris. * HP C++ for Tru64 UNIX 7.1. * Intel C++ 8.1, 9.0 on Windows, Linux. * Metrowerks CodeWarrior 8.3, 9.4, 9.5 on Mac OS X and Windows. * Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 (sp5, with and without STLport), 7.0, 7.1, 8.0. Note: Boost does not support the non-standard "Safe" C++ Library shipping with Visual C++ 8.0, which may result in many spurious warnings from Boost headers and other standards- conforming C++ code. To suppress these warnings, define the macro _SCL_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE. Acknowledgements Douglas Gregor managed this release. A great number of people contributed their time and expertise to make this release possible. Special thanks go to Aleksey Gurtovoy and Misha Bergal, who managed to keep the regression testing system working throughout the release process; David Abrahams, Beman Dawes, Aleksey Gurtovoy, Bronek Kozicki, Rene Rivera and Jonathan Turkanis for greatly improving the quality of this release; Rene Rivera for the new Boost web page design; and Zoltan "cad" Juhasz for the new Boost logo.

When preprocessing the code #define $jack int test; $jack using any preprocessor using the wave library, in this case the samples/lexed_tokens/lexed_tokens preprocessor , gives the following error: PP_DEFINE (#369) at test.C ( 1/ 1): >#define< SPACE (#393) at test.C ( 1/ 8): > < lexed_tokens: /home/saebjornsen1/projects/boost/boost/wave/token_ids.hpp:497: boost::wave::util::flex_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char>, boost::wave::util::CowString<boost::wave::util::AllocatorStringStorage<char, std::allocator<char> >, char*> > boost::wave::get_token_name(boost::wave::token_id): Assertion `id < T_LAST_TOKEN-T_FIRST_TOKEN' failed. Aborted using the preprocesor cpp (from the gcc team) I get (as cpp test.C): # 1 "test.C" # 1 "<built-in>" # 1 "<command line>" # 1 "test.C" int test; I believe the problem lies in that the lexer does not recognize the '$' as a valid character within the name of macro definition.

[Serialization] Pure binary archive available?
by Chris . 05 Dec '05

05 Dec '05

Hi, the serialization library is almost what im after. My only problem is that in the archive output additional data is added to the start of the archive (for example "22 serialization::archive" for text files). Is there any way of disabling this? In my case, I require a pure binary archive. Ideally i would like to write one if one doesnt exist but i'm not sure if i have time, depending on how hard it would be. How hard would it be do make my own archive type, where by i could set the endian field to convert bigendian to littleendian depending on what the user defines the 'archive endianess' to be on archive construction? I have done this with my own serialization library, however i dont want to extend that because it only handles c++ primitives and dealing with pointers things start getting horrible very very quickly! Thanks in advance. Chris _________________________________________________________________ MSN Messenger 7.5 is now out. Download it for FREE here. http://messenger.msn.co.uk

[Serialization] Compile error in heap_allocator.invoke in MSVC8 debug mode
by Tim Murray 05 Dec '05

05 Dec '05

Hi, I have successfully compiled the boost libs for the serialization library using bjam and I am now trying to make use of it in my project. I am building my project in MSVC8. It has successfully compiled and run in Release mode, but I am getting a compiler error in Debug mode on the same code and am at a loss as to what the problem is. The compiler error I am getting is: iserializer.hpp(252) : error C2065: '()' : undeclared identifier Here's a bit from the template stack trace: ...iserializer.hpp(252) : error C2544: expected ')' for operator '()' ...iserializer.hpp(251) : while compiling class template member function 'World::CWorld *boost::archive::detail::heap_allocator<T>::invoke(void)' 1> with 1> [ 1> T=World::CWorld 1> ] The following is the class this is complaining about: namespace World { class CWorld { friend class boost::serialization::access; template<class Archive> void save(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version) const; template<class Archive> void load(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version); BOOST_SERIALIZATION_SPLIT_MEMBER() public: ~CWorld(); static CWorld* getWorld(){ return m_world; } static bool loadWorld(std::string filename); static bool saveWorld(std::string filename); static bool unloadWorld(); protected: CWorld(); static CWorld *m_world; }; } And the source of the error traces back to the following member function: bool CWorld::loadWorld(std::string filename) { if(m_world) return false; m_world = new CWorld(); // create and open an archive for input std::ifstream ifs(filename.c_str(), std::ios::binary); boost::archive::text_iarchive ia(ifs); // read class state from archive ia & *m_world; //!!!this is the line that the error traces to return true; } Like I said - this code compiles fine under Release mode, but this error keeps showing up on Debug mode. Any ideas on what might be wrong? And if you need more information, just ask. Thanks, Tim Murray

[Serialization] Resolved problems with vs 7.1 -- kind of
by David Parks 04 Dec '05

04 Dec '05

First off, I apologize for not replying directly to my last message but I'm not even sure it's been posted yet -- as I don't have permission to post yet (the 'first message is moderated' deal). Anyway, I wasn't able to make the example in my last post work with any sane process but I did get it to work by doing the following: 1) splitting the stuff into 3 files -- the main driver, the class header, and the class .cpp. I put both classes in the class files. 2) Including the */archive/* files in the class cpp immediately followed by export.hpp... then the class header. 3) Including the same archive headers in the class header followed by serialization.hpp (I'm sure this could be done lighter but...) 4) Including only the class header in main. 5) BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT(derived) in the class cpp. 6) This is where it starts to diverge from any information in the tutorials and documentation. First, I had to switch from text to xml. I'm not positive but, if I couldn't get it to work after 12 straight hours, I'd guess the text interface is broken. 7) You will get a pretty incorrect error (in the header comments) if you don't call the base class in the derived class serialization (ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_BASE_OBJECT_NVP(base);). This is not ideal because in many instances, like mine, you might not care about the bases serialization if you have a derived class... the derived class is 'smarter'. But this I can deal with. What I needed to do was serialize a vector of objects of some base class -- you know, like the useless circles and squares of shapes example in every intro C++ book. The documentation could use this as an example -- it has to be one of the most common uses for a serializer. Oh, one goofy note that thankfully only took a couple of minutes to catch: namespaces aren't all the rage but if you make big use of them (like me), beware of BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT... it takes a flash of inspiration to realize that it's going to try to put colons in your XML tags. Even more tricky is the situation where you are calling, say, the base-class with BOOST_SERIALIZATION_BASE_OBJECT_NVP. It stringizes this without telling you -- it has to. But if you do this ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_BASE_OBJECT_NVP(A::B) you will get an error but this (thankfully) using namespace A; ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_BASE_OBJECT_NVP(B); works. I have no idea how to make this friendly. Best, - David

Serialization v1.33.0 and Serializing derived classes through base class
by David Parks 04 Dec '05

04 Dec '05

I'm having a newbie issue with serialization on a derived class with a virtual function. I'm using the 1.33.0 build on VS 7.1. I've shrunken my code to a micro-version of what I tried to do. Here I have two classes, A and B, where B is a subclass of A. They share a virtual function (ie B overrides dumpFunc in A). I've registered B with BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT(B). I've turned on RTTI in VS 7.1 (/GR or whatever). Still, I get a run time assert error in the boost library telling me that the derived/base relationship wasn't registered. Here's the code. I'll try to spell out the error below. #include <string> #include <fstream> #include <boost/archive/tmpdir.hpp> #include <boost/archive/text_iarchive.hpp> #include <boost/archive/text_oarchive.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/export.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/base_object.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/utility.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/vector.hpp> class A; class B; class A { friend class boost::serialization::access; template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version) { ar & m_className; }; std::string m_className; public: A() { m_className = "ClassA\n"; }; virtual void dumpFunc() {}; }; class B : public A { friend class boost::serialization::access; template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version) { ar & m_classNameB; }; std::string m_classNameB; public: B() { m_classNameB = "ClassB\n"; }; virtual void dumpFunc() {}; }; BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT(B) void main() { std::vector<A *> vecA; B *b=new B(); vecA.push_back(b); std::ofstream ofs("saveFile.sav"); boost::archive::text_oarchive oa(ofs); oa & vecA; delete b; } The following is a stack trace of where it hits the assert. The key thing to note is that save_pointer_type bails out after deciding that class B was not registered. I'm hoping that this is a rookie error but I just can't see it.

Wave library fails to compile with VC7.1 - Buffer overrun in cl.exe

There are several syntaxes to get to the type of the iterator: your_container_type::nth_index<N>::type::iterator your_container_type::index<Tag>::type::iterator your_container_type::nth_index_iterator<N>::type your_container_type::index_iterator<Tag>::type Where N is the 0-based ordinal of the index you're interested in.

cannot resolve shared_ptr calls
by Steven Solie 03 Dec '05

03 Dec '05

I don't understand why the following program doesn't compile when using smart_ptr but works fine with raw pointers: #include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp> class Base { public: virtual ~Base() {}; }; class Base1 : public Base { public: virtual ~Base1() {}; }; class Base2 : public Base { public: virtual ~Base2() {}; }; class Derived1 : public Base1 {}; class Derived2 : public Base2 {}; typedef boost::shared_ptr<Base> BasePtr; typedef boost::shared_ptr<Base1> Base1Ptr; typedef boost::shared_ptr<Base2> Base2Ptr; typedef boost::shared_ptr<Derived1> Derived1Ptr; typedef boost::shared_ptr<Derived2> Derived2Ptr; void f(BasePtr ptr) {} void f(Base1Ptr ptr) {} void f(Base2Ptr ptr) {} int main() { Derived1Ptr d1(new Derived1); Derived2Ptr d2(new Derived2); f(d1); f(d2); } I see the following compile errors with GCC 3.4.4: smart-test.cpp: In function `int main()': smart-test.cpp:24: error: call of overloaded `f(Derived1Ptr&)' is ambiguous smart-test.cpp:15: note: candidates are: void f(BasePtr) smart-test.cpp:16: note: void f(Base1Ptr) smart-test.cpp:17: note: void f(Base2Ptr) smart-test.cpp:25: error: call of overloaded `f(Derived2Ptr&)' is ambiguous smart-test.cpp:15: note: candidates are: void f(BasePtr) smart-test.cpp:16: note: void f(Base1Ptr) smart-test.cpp:17: note: void f(Base2Ptr) If I remove the extra layer of inheritance it works as it should. #include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp> class Base { public: virtual ~Base() {}; }; class Derived1 : public Base {}; class Derived2 : public Base {}; typedef boost::shared_ptr<Base> BasePtr; typedef boost::shared_ptr<Derived1> Derived1Ptr; typedef boost::shared_ptr<Derived2> Derived2Ptr; void f(BasePtr ptr) {} int main() { Derived1Ptr d1(new Derived1); Derived2Ptr d2(new Derived2); f(d1); f(d2); } As I said earlier, doing the same with raw pointers resolves things as would be expected in both cases. Any ideas? --Steven

[multi_index] Problem with find() and Hashed_Index

03 Dec '05

I have created a multi_index_container inline with one ordered_unique index and one hashed_unique index as demonstrated in the documentation (http://www.boost.org/libs/multi_index/doc/advanced_topics.html#hash_lookup) I can happily add and retrieve items using find() as indicated. However, if I use the =* operator as indicated and there is no matching record a memory error occurs. Therefore I need to assign the find result to an iterator and check for end(). Can anyone tell me what type this iterator should be? I've tried many combinations non of which compile. I am using Boost v1.33.0 with Darwin gcc 4.0.1 Thanks Martin

[string_algo] find_head/find_tail additions
by Yuval Ronen 03 Dec '05

03 Dec '05

Hi. I have a feature I would like to see in the string algo library. The present find_head function gets an unsigned int N and returns the head of the input string with size is at most N. I would like another option that will return the head of the input with size at most original_size minus N. In other words, all the string without the last N characters. if original_size < N the return would be an empty string. The interface for such a functionality might introduce a new function (find_head_but()?), or make the present find_head function accept a signed int N, instead of unsigned int, with a negetive number indicates the new functionality. And of course the same for find_tail. Thanks, Yuval

Alexander tried it on different compilers with various success: GNU/Linux (gentoo-hardened): gcc 3.3 and 3.4, Intel 7, 8 and 9 Windows: VC7 free compiler Sparc Solaris: Sun C++ 5.3 and 5.7 See comments at the beginning of promote_enum_test.cpp for what is broken. http://cpp-experiment.sourceforge.net/promote-20050917/libs/ type_traits/test/promote_enum_test.cpp Alexandar used to compile tests on VC6 and I'm pretty sure I can add workarounds if someone is still interested. Actually, it compiled the tests better then VC7. As for Borland 5.5, is_enum is broken and I don't see any reason to support this compiler. Alexandar requests a fast-track review. Policy Pointer Author - David Held & Jonathan Turkanis Review Manager - Gennadiy Rozenthal Download: Boost Sandbox (http://boost-sandbox.sourceforge.net/) under policy_ptr Description: Smart pointers are used to automate memory management by handling the deletion of dynamically allcoated objects (and other resources). They assist in ensuring program correctness, exception safety, and memory integrity. Policy Pointer is a policy-based smart pointer framework designed to accomodate the large number of smart pointer designs. Through the use of policy classes, virtually any smart pointer type can be constructed within this framework. This library is a Boostification of the original Loki::SmartPtr type with significant modifications. Fixed Strings Author - Reece Dunn Review Manager - to be determined Download: Boost Sandbox (http://boost-sandbox.sourceforge.net/) under fixed_string Description: The fixed string library provides buffer overrun protection for static sized strings (char s[ n ]). It provides a C-style string interface for compatibility with C code (for example, porting a C program to C++). There is also a std::string-style interface using a class based on flex_string by Andre Alexandrescu with a few limitations due to the non-resizable nature of the class. Intrusive Containers Author - Olaf Krzikalla Review Manager - to be determined Download: http://people.freenet.de/turtle++/intrusive.zip Description: While intrusive containers were and are widely used in C, they became more and more forgotten in the C++-world due to the presence of the standard containers, which don't support intrusive techniques. Boost.Intrusive not only reintroduces this technique to C++, but also encapsulates the implementation in STL-like interfaces. Hence anyone familiar with standard containers can use intrusive containers with ease. Function Types (mini-re-review) Author - Tobias Schwinger Review Manager - John Maddock Download: http://boost-sandbox.sourceforge.net/vault/ Description: This library provides a metaprogramming facility to classify, decompose and synthesize function-, function pointer-, function reference- and member function pointer types. For the purpose of this documentation, these types are collectively referred to as function types (this differs from the standard definition and redefines the term from a programmer's perspective to refer to the most common types that involve functions). The classes introduced by this library shall conform to the concepts of the Boost Metaprogramming library (MPL). The Function Types library enables the user to: * test an arbitrary type for being a function type of specified kind, * inspect properties of function types, * view and modify sub types of an encapsulated function type with MPL Sequence operations, and * synthesize function types. This library supports variadic functions and can be configured to support non-default calling conventions. Shmem Author - Ion Gaztanaga Review Manager - to be determined Download: Boost Sandbox Vault -> Memory (http://boost-sandbox.sourceforge.net/vault/index.php? direction=0&order=&directory=Memory) http://ice.prohosting.com/newfunk/boost/libs/shmem/doc/html/index.html Description: Shmem offers tools to symplify shared memory usage in applications. These include shared memory creation/destruction and synchronization objects. It also implements dynamic allocation of portions of a shared memory segment and an easy way to construct C++ objects in shared memory. Apart from this, Shmem implements a wide range of STL-like containers and allocators that can be safely placed in shared memory, helpful to implement complex shared memory data-bases and other efficient inter-process communications. Fusion Author - Joel de Guzman Review Manager - to be determined Download: http://spirit.sourceforge.net/dl_more/fusion_v2/ Description: Fusion is a library of heterogenous containers and views and algorithms. A set of heterogenous containers (vector, list, set and map) is provided out of the box along with view classes that present various composable views over the data. The containers and views follow a common sequence concept with an underlying iterator concept that binds it all together, suitably making the algorithms fully generic over all sequence types. The architecture is somewhat modeled after MPL which in turn is modeled after STL. It is code-named "fusion" because the library is the "fusion" of compile time metaprogramming with runtime programming. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 4) Libraries under development //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Please let us know of any libraries you are currently developing that you intend to submit for review. Output Formatters Singleton Interfaces Output Formatters Author - Reece Dunn Download: Boost Sandbox (http://boost-sandbox.sourceforge.net/) under outfmt Description: The I/O formatters library provides an easy and customizable way to input/output arrays, STL arrays, STL collections, sub-arrays from/to STL streams. It allows you to configure how each element in such an array will be written to the stream or read from the stream, while providing reasonable defaults. Singleton Author - Jason Hise Download: http://tinyurl.com/6qvrd (old version from previous review) Description: Singleton is feature rich library: - ensuring single instance of a class and global access point to this instance - with policies specifying: - when the instance gets created (manually, immediatelly, when first used, ...) - how is the instance created (by new, malloc, in static memory, ...) - when the instance gets destroyed (never, by priority, after another singleton, ...) Parametrized singleton called Multiton is provided City::pointer p1("Chicago"); City::pointer p2("Brussels"); will create two different "singletons" of the same type. Another feature is ability to register resources (like shared pointer) who will get destroyed in controlled order, when the application exits. Not yet implemented features are: - MT safety - self-destroying singleton with timeout - bjam compatible tests The library is known to work with several newer compilers, VC7.1 among them. Help with other compilers is welcomed. Interfaces Author - Jonathan Turkanis Download: http://www.kangaroologic.com/interfaces Description: Interfaces provides a macro-based Interface Definition Language (IDL) which can be used to define C++ class types called interfaces. An interface is a lightweight value type associated with a set of named function signatures. An interface instance can be bound at runtime to any object which implements the interface, i.e., to any object of a type with accessible non-static member functions having the same name and signature as the set of functions associated with the interface. The functions of the bound object can then be invoked through the interface instance using the 'dot' operator. Binding is completely non-intrusive: the object's type need not declare any virtual functions or derive from any particluar base class. Current applications of Boost.Interfaces include: * Non-intrusive dynamic polymorphism: interfaces can often be used in place of abstract base classes, and are sometimes much faster (see Performance). * Dynamic inheritance: allows function calls to be forwarded automatically to an object specified at runtime (see Delegation). * Smart Interface Pointers: smart pointers which can manage the lifetime of any object whose type implements a given interface. * Smart References: like smart interface pointers, but the managed object is accessed using the "dot" operator."

regex and matchresults
by Tobi 02 Dec '05

02 Dec '05

Hello, this is my my first post to a newsgroup, so i hope it will work... I use the boost regex library, and i was wondereing, why the following code doesn't work. When i output the result of the match, it should output "a", but it didn't, the output was something wrong like "yl". I figured out, that the reasen for this is, that the string sSearchString is just in the scope of the try-block, so it is allready destroyed when i do the output. If i put the declaration of the string above the try block, all works fine, because the searchstring is still existing when i do the output. The matchresult seems to save just a reference to the string. Am i doing sth wrong? I think this is quite dangerous, or is there a way to do this more safe? Thanx, Tobi /////////////////////////////////////////// boost::smatch match; // Match-Ergebnis bool bMatched; try { // Regulaeren Ausdruck anlegen boost::regex sExpr; sExpr.assign( "." ); // Suchstring anlegen std::string sSearchString = "abcdef"; // Matchen bMatched = boost::regex_search(sSearchString,match,sExpr); } catch(runtime_error& er) { m_sLog = er.what(); return; } if( bMatched ) { cout << match[0] << endl; } ///////////////////////////////////////////

[Test] BOOST_CHECK() -> unknown location(0) when an exception is thrown...
by Kevin Wheatley 01 Dec '05

Hi, I have a test where BOOST_CHECK() results in a call that causes an exception, but it gives no location, would it be possible to change the reporting code that catches the exception to report the file and line number to give me 1 click navigation to the site of the calling test? Perhaps the macro could force a check point or something and then log_exception could use that?

[Serialization] Use of BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP needs clarification
by Peter Whaite 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

I just started using the serialization library and it is very useful. However the minimal documentation for xml archives in the "List of Examples" could be clearer. Right now it says... demo_xml.cpp This is a variation the original demo which supports xml archives in addition to the others. The extra wrapping macros are needed to associate a data item name with the correspoding xml tag. For more information see Name-Value Pairs. Here is what an xml archive looks like. It would help if the "extra wrapping macros" are named. Yes you can figure it out from demo_xml.cpp (well there's only BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP in there) and from the "Name-Value Pairs" page, but that is too much jumping around for a first read. But what would help more is a warning that BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP must wrap a valid xml tag. For example I naively thought: void editor::save() { ... ar << BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(*this); } would work, but of course it doesnt because "*this" is not a valid xml tag. I searched the list archives, and I'm not the only one who fell into this trap. I suggest adding something like this ... The extra wrapping macro, BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(name), is needed to associate a data item name with the corresponding xml tag. It is importanted that 'name' be a valid xml tag, else it will be impossible to restore the archive. For more information... The warning should be repeated in wrappers.html#nvp, and in the comments in demo_xml.cpp. --- Peter Whaite

[Boost.Format] empty string argument causes VC 8.0 to assert
by Mick Hollins 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

The following code causes a runtime assertion in VC 8.0: std::string l_param; std::string l_str = (boost::format("here is an empty string: %1%") % l_param).str(); It passes an empty string argument to boost::format. The assert is inside the implementation of basic_string::append() and boils down to the fact that the implementation of boost::format ends up calling basic_string::append(const char *, size_type) with a null pointer, which causes basic_string::append to assert. The following sample code causes the same assertion without boost::format being involved: std::string l_str; const char *l_null = NULL; std::string::size_type l_size = 0; l_str.append(l_null, l_size); // causes an assert I have currently disabled the assertion by calling the following code before I do anything else: #if _MSC_VER >= 1400 _CrtSetReportMode( _CRT_ASSERT, _CRTDBG_MODE_FILE); _CrtSetReportFile( _CRT_ASSERT, _CRTDBG_FILE_STDERR ); #endif which causes the asserts to simply emit a message to stderr rather than to pop up a message box, but I don't really want to disable VC 8.0's assertions across the board. My questions are: 1) Is this considered to be a bug in boost::format or a case of VC 8.0's runtime checks being overzealous? Personally I feel that calling append(null, 0) should be allowed and VC 8.0 is being too protective, but the copy of the C++ standard I have suggests that VC 8.0 is correct. 2) Either way, what do people think is the best way forward? thanks, mick

The problem about shorthest path computation
by liu jianfei 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

Hi, all Recently, I faced a big problem when I'm using the boost function of shorthest path computing including dijkstra_shortest_paths and johnson_all_pairs_shortest_paths. My projectet was that I extracted all the surface voxels of a volume as the vertexs of the graph, and 26-connection between them as a edge. Hence, I got a large sparse graph which composed of 12768 vertexs and around 86000 edges. In the next stage, I implemented the dijkstra_shortest_paths computation for each vertex. However, it succeded in some points and failed in other points. If I changed the weight of each edge into 1, all points worked. If I used other weights for different edges, then problem poped up. Also, some points worked for this special weight, and failed for others. I think the shortest path algorithm should be unrelated with the weight assignment. Initially, I think something was wrong in my graph buliding. But when I wrote the shorthest path algorithm by myself and all points worked, I felt there may be a bug in dijkstra_shortest_paths class. If someone else faces the same problem, feel free to tell me. If not, I'm willing to paste my graph code in spite of its complexity. Thanks Regards!

Compilation difference between intel 9.0 and msvc 7.1 regarding const
by Chris Goller 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

I have code that will compile using msvc 7.1 but will not under intel 9.0. Here is some simplified code to illustrate my problem: using namespace boost; using namespace std; typedef array<int, 2> array_type; array_type a; a[0] = 0; a[1] = 1; vector<array_type> v; v.push_back(a); vector<int> h; for_each(v.begin(), v.end(), mem_fun_ref(&array_type::front)); This compiles and runs using msvc 7.1, but intel 9.0 errors with the following: error: more than one instance of overloaded function "mem_fun_ref" matches the argument list: function template "std::mem_fun_ref(_Result (_Ty::*)() const)" function template "std::mem_fun_ref(_Result (_Ty::*)())" argument types are: (<unknown-type>) Here are the two definitions of front for boost::array: reference front() { return elems[0]; } const_reference front() const { return elems[0]; } If I'm reading the error correctly, this means that the intel compiler doesn't know if I want to use the const or non-const version of front. Does anyone know anything about this? Is this the forwarding problem? Is a function wrapper around front a good solution? What are the solutions? Thanks, Chris

[Boost.date_time] Missing export declaration in parser.hpp
by Marc Viala 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

Hi, I'm not really sure but I think there are some missing export declaration in the "parser.hpp" of Boost.date_time. The missing declarations is for function "special_value_from_string()" I've joined the corrected "parser.hpp" Could you confirm these observations?

How to compile with a conventional Makefile in BOOST
by Ace Bluedust 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

Hi, I would like to know if someone could show me how to compile and build with a conventional Makefile (linux-gnu-gcc) for the BOOST GRAPH LIBRARY. I'm not sure of which lib files to link and what are the needed flags. I have to do by Makefile because I also use another library other than BOOST. Thanks.

[format] negative 0?
by Alain Cormier 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

I use boost 1.32 with VS 6.0 (sp5) on Windows2000. If I try this : int anIntValue(-0); std::cout << anIntValue << '\n';\ I get : 0 And, if I try this : boost::format formatTest("My test : %0.0f \n"); double theValue(-0.0002); std::string theString = boost::io::str(formatTest % theValue); I get : "My test : -0" Is it the right behavior? I was expecting the same result (simply a 0). Maybe I am wrong... Thank you for any advise / suggestion. Alain

how to declare a reference to a boost shared pointer?
by eric 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

Can I declare a pure virtual member function which accepts as input a boost shared pointer to an object of a base class, such that - clients of the function can pass in as input a boost shared pointer to an object of a derived class - concrete implementations of the function can redirect the pointer to a new object of an (even more) derived class ? Consider the following class hierarchy in the problem domain: class Serializable {}; class Foo : public Serializable {}; class Bar : public Foo {}; Here is the pure virtual member function I would like to declare: class Serializer { public: virtual void serializeObject(boost::shared_ptr < Serializable > &) = 0; } And the relevant subset of one of its concrete implementations: class XmlReader : public Serializer { virtual void serializeObject(boost::shared_ptr < Serializable > &p) { p = boost::shared_ptr < Serializable > (new Bar()); } } The client would call the function like this: boost::shared_ptr < Foo > foo; Serializer *s = new XmlReader(); s->serializeObject(foo); The above code doesn't compile, the error message from VC6 is main.cpp(72) : error C2664: 'serializeObject' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'class boost::shared_ptr<class Foo>' to 'class boost::shared_ptr<class Serializable> &' The best solution I have found so far is to declare the function like this: class XmlReader : public Serializer { virtual boost::shared_ptr < Serializable > serializeObject() { boost::shared_ptr < Serializable > ret = boost::shared_ptr < Serializable > (new Bar()); return ret; } } And call it like this: foo = boost::dynamic_pointer_cast< Foo >(s->serializeObject()); But that's not ideal for my purposes, I would prefer to have a function which modifies its inputs and returns void. I can't implement the function as a template because I need it to be virtual. Any assistance gratefully received. Regards, Eric

Boost.python serialization
by Drumheller, Michael 29 Nov '05

29 Nov '05

Thank you for the help. I have seen that link (the one you supplied) before, but I posted my question because that link in particular does not mention the words "Boost.Serialization" or "Archive" at all. I suppose what I was really getting at, and was probably not very clear about (sorry :| ) was whether the specific approach (by N. Becker) of using a stringstream wrapped with a boost::archive::binary_oarchive is a standard idiom. (Basically, I would have thought that "python pickle boost::archive" would be a million-hit Google query, but it's only about a dozen. I find that weird. Do people just not serialize their C++ extensions very often?) Thanks again. I really appreciate the help.

[serialization] reference to a vector of shared pointers of objects with non-default constructible templated class
by codeur＠altern.org 29 Nov '05

29 Nov '05

Hello, I have a non-default templated class (let's call it Klass), serialized throw a pointer, so I redefined save_construct_data and load_construct_data for the type Klass<double>. One of the member of my class has the following type: typedef boost::shared_ptr< Point3d<T> >PointPtr; vector< PointPtr >& stuff; Point3d is another templated class. T could be for instance, double. Point3d is track_selectivly, Klass is track_selectivly and serialized by another class with a pointer. In save_construct_data when I do : ar << t->stuff; I've got the following problem : boost-1_33/boost/archive/detail/oserializer.hpp:566: error: incomplete type `boost::STATIC_ASSERTION_FAILURE<false>' does not have member `value' Perhaps I didn't place the good track attribute. Does someone have an idea ? Thanks in advance!

Boost.python serialization
by Drumheller, Michael 29 Nov '05

29 Nov '05

I'm just getting started with trying to serialize some Python and C++ objects that are glued together with Boost.Python. Would it be fair to say that this link <<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/c++-sig/2004-September/008044.html>> represents the "standard" approach to this? Thanks, MD

date_time library throwing a lot of warnings

Good day everyone, i'm using the boost::date_time::posix_time libarary in my application. When ever i compile i get lots of warning. mostly its about not being able to generate copy constructors from the lexical_cast lbrary and a whole lot of "C4127 conditional experssion is constant.

How to find type boost::variant is holding?
by Merrill Cornish 28 Nov '05

28 Nov '05

If I have a boost::variant variable holding either of two types, is there a simple test to determine which type it is currently holding? Yes, I know that the object-oriented way to to avoid testing for types at runtime, but a simple if-test would work very well in the code. I've seen the static_visitor example, and that would work, but it hides the type determination and type-specific actions inside another class (or at least other functions). Yes, that would work logically, but the code needing to make this determination would be much clearer is written simply as a if-the-else based on the current type of the variant variable. Merrill

[counting_iterator] restriction/bug in distance_to()
by Martin Weigel 28 Nov '05

28 Nov '05

Hi, counting_iterator.hpp defines the distance_to() member function as follows (from CVS HEAD), template <class OtherIncrementable> difference_type distance_to(counting_iterator<OtherIncrementable> const& y) const { ... Since the argument counting_iterator<OtherIncrementable> uses the default values for CategoryOrTraversal and Difference, this distance_to() template does not apply for counting_iterator's with other than the default values for CategoryOrTraversal and Difference. In particular, for a counting_iterator with non-default CategoryOrTraversal or Difference, the necessary function typedef counting_iterator<Incrementable, CategoryOrTraversal, Distance> it_type; it_type::distance_to(it_type const&) cannot be instantiated from the above template, resulting in a compile-time error. Best, Martin

[serialization] pointer derived from an abstract templated class
by codeur＠altern.org 28 Nov '05

28 Nov '05

Hello, I know the question has already been asked (http://groups.google.com/group/boost-list/browse_thread/thread/9e1bcbd7c4f7…) but without answers. So I retry.. Is it possible to serialize an object that inherits from a templated abstract class ? For instance : template<typename T> class base { }; template<typename T> class Impl : public base<T> { }; int main(/* ... */) { base *b = new Impl(type); // how can we serialize b ? } Thanks for your help.

scoped_ptr faq
by Bruno Martínez 28 Nov '05

28 Nov '05

Hi. I had the same question that is answered there, but the answer didn't fit my problem. I'm using scoped_ptr<node> inside node itself, so node is incomplete at the point of use. That forbids using auto_ptr, IIUC. I think it would be good to add to the answer: Q. Why doesn't scoped_ptr have a release() member? A. When reading source code, it is valuable to be able to draw conclusions about program behavior based on the types being used. If scoped_ptr had a release() member, it would become possible to transfer ownership of the held pointer, weakening its role as a way of limiting resource lifetime to a given context. Use std::auto_ptr where transfer of ownership is required, or shared_ptr if incomplete type support is needed. "or shared_ptr if incomplete type support is needed." is mine. How's that? Regards, Bruno

As subject says - I am in need of information about on how to compile boost in Borland c++ Builder 6 on operation system Windows XP. I have been searching everywhere, instructions are either too complicated or badly written - in any case I still havent found the answer. I hope you'll help me, I'm realy stuck and you guys are probably my last resort. Looking forward to answers or hints, cheers.

serialization: handling variable length data
by __PPS__ 27 Nov '05

27 Nov '05

in simplest case std::string is serialized this way: length|string data. in this case it's possible to feed invalid data to deserialization function so that application stalls waiting for the os to reserve huge pile or ram, or fails with bad alloc. this invalid data could be intentionally manually edited or as well it could be the case where you serialize ints and then try to deserialize data as strings (or whatever else). isn't it possible to have archives such check somehow the size of available stream data. (eg, for stringstream), or archives that initialized with a data pointer and the size of the data pointed by that pointer or maybe something else here's a complete example that shows such problem in action ///////////////////////////// #include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <string> #include <ctime> #include <boost/archive/text_oarchive.hpp> #include <boost/archive/binary_iarchive.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/serialization.hpp> using namespace std; using namespace boost::archive; int main()try{ string s1 = "Hello world!", s2; { ofstream file("data.txt", ios::binary | ios::trunc); text_oarchive a(file, no_header); a << s1; } time_t t(time(0)); { ifstream file("data.txt", ios::binary); binary_iarchive a(file, no_header); a >> s2; } cout << "time elapsed: " << (time(0)-t) << "s" << endl; cout << "s2.size() => " << s2.size() << "\n" "s2 => \"" << s2.substr(0,64) << "...\"" << endl; }catch(const exception &e){ cout << "error: " << e.what() << endl; } ///////////////////////////// and the output I got on win xp: time elapsed: 110s s2.size() => 1210069553 s2 => "ello world! ..."

Re: [Boost-users] program_options: wild write
by Merrill Cornish 27 Nov '05

27 Nov '05

Peter, Once I understood that even though positional parameters have been declared, they still have to be listed as an option, I got my positional parameter to work. I've even been able to follow the examples to "hide" the positional parameter name from the --help print out. I've still got the problem that an illegal option value triggers Dr Watson. I need to create a short example that I can post. Merrill
