Alternately I could have the traits object return different interpretations for them, but that would require either: - switching between two specialisations of reg_expression at run-time (resulting in code bloat) or - changing reg_expression's constructors to allow the client to pass a traits object into it rather than always using the default constructor (unusual usage of a traits class)

shared_from_this
by Dragan Milenkovic 14 Oct '03

14 Oct '03

Hello, people, I've been using enable_shared_from_this a LOT, mostly for implementing the Observer pattern (an object holds a list of weak pointers to it's observers). I wanted to know why are shared_from_this member functions public instead of being protected? Also, I've used the following expression a few times: shared_polymorphic_cast<This>(shared_from_this()) Any thoughts on putting it inside the enable_shared_from_this... shared_from_base<This>() or polymorphic_shared_from_this<This>() or such? Also, any comments on the designs I used? Better observers? Best regards, Dragan Milenkovic

Regex++ multiline matching
by Ben Hutchings 14 Oct '03

14 Oct '03

I see that Regex++ always treats ^ and $ as start and end of line rather than start and end of buffer. Perl does this only if the /m switch is used. Is there a simple way to switch between these two interpretations when compiling a regex?

boost::function compilation
by Terence Ou 14 Oct '03

14 Oct '03

Hi, I'm currently trying to use boost::function with VC++ 7.0 and I get the compilation error stating that function is not a member of boost. I've already included the header <boost/function.hpp> as well as the library path in the project settings but it just doesn't seem to be able to compile. The documentation specifies things about the preferred and portable syntax. Is there even some setting choose the desired syntax, becoz there are no hints or instructions that mention anything on it in the the documentation and I can't find anything in the source files as well. Thanks. Cheers, Terence

[BLL] bind(data_member_ptr,_1) functor won't accept temporaries as arguments
by Eelis van der Weegen 13 Oct '03

13 Oct '03

When Lambda's bind() is used to create a functor for dereferencing a stored data member pointer given an instance pointer, it seems it is not possible to pass the resulting functor a temporary instance pointer. For example: #include <boost/lambda/bind.hpp> #include <boost/lambda/lambda.hpp> struct S { int i; }; S * f (); void g (S * p) { using namespace boost::lambda; bind(&S::i, _1)(p); // ok bind(&S::i, _1)(p + 0); // not ok, "no match for call ..." bind(&S::i, _1)(f()); // not ok, "no match for call ..." } Does this restriction have a purpose? If not, is this something that needs to be (and can be) fixed? Regards, Eelis van der Weegen

enable_shared_from_this::_internal_weak_this initialization

Hello, It seems that classes which inherit from enable_shared_from_this are required to explicitly initialize _internal_weak_this. 1) Is that correct? If not, how is it initialized? 2) Is this detail mentioned anywhere in the documentation? (I couldn't find it.) Thanks, Cody

Stubbing for unit testing, what approach should I use
by Andrew Syrov 10 Oct '03

10 Oct '03

I am looking for set of techniques for isolation testing. As applications are designed with massive number of dependencies between classes and these dependencies end-up in external systems such as databases and OS, it's hard to extract function or part of class for efficient unit test. Basically I need an advice on what coding techniques should be used to allow flexible (generic?) stubbing: - function of a class may need to be tested in isolation from world (members could be global data for the purpose) - class may be tested with stubbed set functions; - data members could be stubbed, so no dependensies on classes which do not participate in test; Please advice.

Enhancement to shared_pointer to support pointers to contained objects.
by Ricardo Capurro 09 Oct '03

09 Oct '03

Hello, We are really very happy and impressed with boost's smart_pointers, and we found the section "Smart Pointer Programming Techniques" (http://www.boost.org/libs/smart_ptr/sp_techniques.html) in boost smart_pointer documentation very useful, but we are having this problem: We have two classes X and Y, and each object of class X holds an object of class Y, and we need to implement a method in class X to get a shared_ptr<Y> so we can access Y instance inside X, and we need that X objects (that are too referenced by shared_ptr<X>) don't be deleted until all references to the Y object are destroyed. See the problem in this code: class Y {}; class X : public enable_shared_from_this<X> { Y y; public: shared_ptr<Y> ptr_y(); // Oops, how do we do here??? }; Our first approach was "Using a shared_ptr to hold a pointer to a statically allocated object" (http://www.boost.org/libs/smart_ptr/sp_techniques.html#static) but this doesn't work because X objects can be destroyed and we still have pointers to contained Y object, so we try a custom deletor like this: template <typename Z> class delegator_deletor { shared_ptr<Z> ptr; // Internal pointer to father X, wich contains Y public: delegator_deletor( shared_ptr<Z> const & ptrz ) : ptr( ptrz ) {} template <typename T> void operator()( T* ) { ptr.reset(); } // Null deletor, only resets pointer to father X object }; template <typename Z> delegator_deletor<Z> make_delegator_deletor( shared_ptr<Z> ptrz ) { return delegator_deletor<Z>( ptrz ); } class X : public enable_shared_from_this<X> { Y y; public: shared_ptr<Y> ptr_y() { return shared_ptr<Y>( &y, make_delegator_deletor( shared_from_this() ) ); } }; And now the problem was resolved but with one little drawback, we are not sharing the same counter between shared_ptr<X> and shared_ptr<Y>, so start looking boost's code to shange it in a way that it satisfies our needs, and we added this constructor to shared_ptr class: template<class Y,class Z> shared_ptr(Y* y, shared_ptr<Z> const & z): px(z.px ? y : 0), pn( y ? z.pn : detail::shared_count() ) // never throws { detail::sp_enable_shared_from_this(y, y, pn); } then we change X::ptr_y() this way: shared_ptr<Y> X::ptr_y() { return shared_ptr<Y>( &y, shared_from_this() ); } This new constructor instructs to create a shared_ptr<> that uses the same counter that the second's shared_ptr<> parameter, but point's to the first raw pointer paramenter. With this change everithing worked fine. Finally our question is: Is there an easyer way to solve our problem? If the answer is yes we want to know it and if the answer is no we want to know if you can enhace shared_ptr to solve this kind of problem. Thank you very much Ricardo #include <iostream> #include <string> #include <boost/smart_ptr.hpp> #include <boost/enable_shared_from_this.hpp> using namespace ::std; using namespace ::boost; #if !defined( SOLUTION1 ) && !defined( SOLUTION2 ) && !defined( SOLUTION3 ) && !defined( SOLUTION4 ) #define SOLUTION3 #endif #if defined( SOLUTION1 ) class null_deleter { public: template <typename T> void operator()( T* ) {} }; #elif defined( SOLUTION2 ) || defined( SOLUTION3 ) template <typename Z> class delegator_deletor { shared_ptr<Z> ptr; public: delegator_deletor( shared_ptr<Z> const & ptrz ) : ptr( ptrz ) { cerr << "delegator_deletor<" << typeid( Z ).name() << ">()" << endl; } template <typename T> void operator()( T* ) { ptr.reset(); cerr << "delegator_deletor<" << typeid( Z ).name() << ">()( " << typeid( T ).name() << "* )" << endl; } }; template <typename Z> delegator_deletor<Z> make_delegator_deletor( shared_ptr<Z> const & ptrz ) { return delegator_deletor<Z>( ptrz ); } #endif class Y : public enable_shared_from_this<Y> { Y( Y const & ); Y& operator=( Y const & ); public: Y() { cerr << "Y::Y()" << endl; } ~Y() { cerr << "Y::~Y()" << endl; } }; class X : public enable_shared_from_this<X> { Y y; int i; X( X const & ); X& operator=( X const & ); public: X() : y(), i( 7 ) { cerr << "X::X()" << endl; } ~X() { cerr << "X::~X()" << endl; } shared_ptr<Y> ptr_y() { #if defined( SOLUTION1 ) return shared_ptr<Y>( &y, null_deleter() ); #elif defined( SOLUTION2 ) return shared_ptr<Y>( &y, make_delegator_deletor( shared_from_this() ) ); #elif defined( SOLUTION3 ) shared_ptr<Y> py; try { py = y.shared_from_this(); } catch ( const bad_weak_ptr& ) { py.reset( &y, make_delegator_deletor( shared_from_this() ) ); } return py; #elif defined( SOLUTION4 ) return shared_ptr<Y>( &y, shared_from_this() ); #endif } shared_ptr<int> ptr_i() { #if defined( SOLUTION1 ) return shared_ptr<int>( &i, null_deleter() ); #elif defined( SOLUTION2 ) || defined( SOLUTION3 ) return shared_ptr<int>( &i, make_delegator_deletor( shared_from_this() ) ); #elif defined( SOLUTION4 ) return shared_ptr<int>( &i, shared_from_this() ); #endif } }; int main( const int, const char** ) { try { cerr << "(1)" << endl; shared_ptr<X> px( new X() ); cerr << "(2)" << endl; shared_ptr<Y> py = px->ptr_y(); cerr << "(3)" << endl; shared_ptr<int> pi = px->ptr_i(); cerr << "(4)" << endl; px.reset(); cerr << "(5)" << endl; py.reset(); cerr << "(6)" << endl; pi.reset(); cerr << "(7)" << endl; } catch ( const exception& e ) { cerr << "Exception caught: " << e.what() << endl; } catch ( ... ) { cerr << "Exception caught ..." << endl; } return 0; }

Re: [Boost-users] Re: Problem using Boost.thread : Class destructor calledseveral times!

Ok, now I see that my object is being copied. But for the lines : FakeClass *item1 = new FakeClass(1);//,item2(2); group.create_thread(*item1); I get : FakeClass #1 says : I'm alive! FakeClass #1 says : Being Copied!! FakeClass #1 says : Being Copied!! FakeClass #1 says : Being Copied!! FakeClass #1 says : I'm being destroyed! FakeClass #1 says : I'm being destroyed! FakeClass #1 says : Being Copied!! FakeClass #1 says : I'm being destroyed! Thread for FakeClass #1 has been started! FakeClass #1 says : I'm being destroyed! main ending... The copy constructor is called 4 times!!! And it is called 3 times before the thread has even started! Is there a way to avoid that ? I was going to use the thread_group to manage the connection to a simple server applications, so that all the threads would hold info about the socket used for connection, etc... And that if the objectdestructor is called, the connection to the socket would be closed... With my object being destroyed 3 times before the thread has started, it gets a bit hard to manage that way... Any clue on how to use the threads so that it would work? thanks, Simon _________________________________________________________________ MSN Messenger : discutez en direct avec vos amis ! http://messenger.fr.msn.ca/

remove_pointer
by Leo Landa 05 Oct '03

05 Oct '03

Good day to everyone, I am trying to find a portable enough implementation of remove_pointer (MSVC 6, MSVC 7.1, G++ 2.95.3, G++ 2.96). The "usual" template technique relies on partial template specialization, which MSVC 6.0 does not support. As far as I can tell, Boost's version of remove_pointer is a little bit of a "cheat" - i.e. it becomes predefined only for primitive types. Am I right about that? I'm a bit of a newb in these parts of London ;-) If this is true, then I'm screwed - and I can't convert a generic pointer type to the pointee type. If it is not true, then what is the technique? Leo. P.S. Just in case - I know how to figure out _whether_ the type is a pointer, and now just trying to strip it.

iterators
by Witz 05 Oct '03

05 Oct '03

Hi, I would like to raise a couple of points about the iterator adaptors. Firstly, is it really necessary to have the predicate as part of the template specification for the filter_iterator? Surely it can be assumed that it will always be convertible to boost::function<bool (const value_type&)> ? Secondly, by allowing the return type of the function used by the transform_iterator to be a reference can we not use it to implement a more generic form of indirect_iterator? The code below gives a flavour of the idea. struct dereference { typedef int result_type; int* data_; dereference(int* data):data_(data){} int operator()(int i) const { return data_[i]; } }; int main() { int data[] = { 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 }; int keys[] = { 0,3,1,6,5,4,2,7 }; typedef boost::transform_iterator_generator<dereference, int*>::type indirect_iterator; indirect_iterator i(keys, dereference(data)), i_end(keys+8,dereference(data)); while(i != i_end) std::cout << *i++ << ' '; return 0; } The output is: 1 4 2 7 6 5 3 8 Witz

boost library build consistency
by Thomas S. Urban 03 Oct '03

03 Oct '03

Is there any definition of how libraries are supposed to build? I've integrated the building of required boost libraries into the build system for our projects. There seems to be some inconsistency in what gets built and where it gets put. In particular, for the thread and regex libs, boost builds both shared and static versions of the libraries and puts them in a bin-stage subdirectory under the library build directory. However, for the filesystem library, only the static library gets built and the bin-stage/ directory is not used. Is there a standard behavior library developers are supposed to follow in this regard? Can I count on the bin-stage/ as a short-named location for the most recent build of any library? Are the boost or boost_filestsystem maintainers interested in the simple fix to the Jamfile to make that library behave like the other two I mentioned? Thanks Scott Urban

parse error in format library
by Alan Stewart 03 Oct '03

03 Oct '03

I've been successfully using the tokenizer library for some time, and am very grateful for it. The format library looks very userful - I need to convert a bunch of old printf's to ostreams. However, in attempting to compile with gcc 2.96 I'm finding that there are many substitutions that need to be made, such as replacing "char_traits" with "basic_string". I'm using Boost 1.30.0 in production, but have also tried 1.30.2 with the same results. I see that the format library headers include the header file "boost/config.hpp". Is it likely that I have some sort of configuration error? Where do I find information on toolset compatabiliy for specific Boost libraries, since this one does not seem to be compatible with mine? -- D.

FakeClass #2 says : I'm alive! FakeClass #1 says : I'm being destroyed! FakeClass #1 says : I'm being destroyed! FakeClass #1 says : I'm being destroyed! Thread for FakeClass #1 has been started!

Thread for FakeClass #2 has been started! FakeClass #2 says : I'm being destroyed! main ending... FakeClass #2 says : I'm being destroyed! FakeClass #1 says : I'm being destroyed! Press any key to continue 1- I'm wondering why the destructor of my FakeClass is called 4 times for each items ??? 2- It says in the doc that the function that creates a thread "copies the function wrapped by threadfunc" and threadfunc would be in this case item1 and item2, does this means that the copy constructor is called every time a thread is created with an object?

Problem with is_class and is_enum
by Romain Lerallut 02 Oct '03

02 Oct '03

In the following code, struct foo2 is mistakenly taken for an enum, which breaks is_class, which leads to some unfortunate problems in boost::python. Problem appears on both Boost 1.30.0 and a one-month old CVS checkout, using gcc 3.3.2 and 2.95 and Intel icc 7.1 for linux. I have tried specializing 'is_enum', setting it by hand to return 'false', but though it works for this simple case, it does no good when the call to is_enum is buried deep inside boost. I rely heavily on being able to do these implicit conversions for foo2, so if anyone has an idea on how to make this work, it would be great. Thanks in advance, Romain ---------------------------------------------------------------- #include <boost/type_traits/is_enum.hpp> #include <iostream> struct foo1 // this one is not detected as an enum { operator int() { return 0; } }; struct foo2 // this one *is* detected as an enum { template<typename T> operator T(){return 0;} }; int main() { std::cout<<boost::is_enum<int>::value<<"\n"; std::cout<<boost::is_enum<foo1>::value<<"\n"; std::cout<<boost::is_enum<foo2>::value<<"\n"; } -------------------------------------------------------------- Expected Result: 0 0 0 Actual Result: 0 0 1

compilation on Win64 platform with MSVC7.1 for 64 bit
by bart.tanghe＠skynet.be 02 Oct '03

02 Oct '03

Hi, we're using Boost 1.30.0 with MSVC7.1 on a Win32 platform. Currently where working on a port to a Win64 platform using the MSVC7.1 for IA64 compiler. (13.10.2240.8 for IA64) I just compiled the code as is and unfortunately I encountered errors in boost headers. This probably is because of missing/bad defines for this 'unknown' platform in the config headers... I was wondering if somebody already tried to compile boost on a 64 bit platform, and if he/she succeeded? Or if there are known implementation details which would cause boost 'never' to work on 64 bit platforms? If there are no known 'showstoppers' then I suppose I'll have to go through the Boost Configuration Reference or should I look somewhere else? Thanks, Bart

Compile Boost.thread libraries has a static library (.lib) with msvc 6 ?
by Huck finn 01 Oct '03

01 Oct '03

Hi everyone, I'm a total newbie to boost, but I've got to developp a project that could use some of the powerful boost libraries, so I'm trying to make a move in that way... Ok, most of the boost libraries I can build in a static way and create (.lib) files with Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 for my partners to use . But I am having a problem doing the same thing with the Boost.Thread libraries... First question : Is it possible to build this librairy in a (.lib) file with msvc 6.0? I'm getting tons of warnings concerning "dllexport" problems, but the (.lib) are still created. I was wondering if someone could help me understanding/fixing the warning problems : warning C4275: non dll-interface class 'boost::noncopyable' used as base for dll-interface class 'boost::detail::condition_impl' c:\wrk\common\boost-1.30.2\boost\noncopyable.hpp(22) : see declaration of 'noncopyable' warning C4273: 'thread::thread' : inconsistent dll linkage. dllexport assumed. I really need to avoid using .dll in this project, so builing this static library is very important to me...

If you changed your project build options from using one of the static C runtimes to using the dll runtime then that would be the problem, define BOOST_REGEX_STATIC_LINK when building if you want to static link to boost.regex.

regex and stream processing

This is possible without much trouble _if_ the text strings you are trying to match will fit into main memory, even if all the data won't. Use a std::list as a buffer, so that deleting and inserting is inexpensive, and you don't have to perform copies and update iterators when reading in more input. Fill your (sliding window) buffer, then regex it, using the partial match feature whenever you have not already detected the end of the file. If a match occurs, any characters occuring before the match can be processed (serialized to disk, or whatever) and removed from the buffer. Repeat this looking for a match until you reach the end of current input. You'll either have "no match" or "partial match" at this point: remove non-matching characters (that could be all of them) at this point, then re-fill your buffer with more data and keep going. If you're just doing one substitution, that's fine, but if more, there are a few things to keep in mind. I have done over 60 distinct substitutions at a time on a stream of 0.1 gigabytes using this technique, and it works quite quickly. (I used a buffer that held about 1 million characters (2^20), but I also tested with buffers as small as 256 characters -- the strings I was matching were not large). Just read in data, process all the substitutions in order, write the data out and repeat. If you're doing multiple substitutions, you (of course) can't flush any data from memory until you've tried all the substitutions on the current region of interest. Also, for each later substituion, the current region of interest shrinks because you have to acknowledge partial matches from earlier subsitutions. For example, say that there is no partial match at the end of substituions 1 through 6 (there might have been full matches where substitution was performed, that's okay.) But substituion 7 has a partial match at the last five characters. Now, your region of interest for substitution 8 is five characters smaller, because you don't want to process those last five characters because substitution 7 might change them once you've read in more input. The order of your substituions is important if the outputs of some desired subsitutions overlap with the inputs of others. If you are not grokking my meaning, I can fish around for the source code. Perhaps it's easier to explain in code than in words, my code for the entire process is maybe 10 or 15 lines. An alternative is to try to do some streambuf hacking, but the above method was simpler and adequate for my purposes.

regex problem

This is the difference between perl and POSIX leftmost-longest matching rules showing itself (the next release will default to perl rules and do what you want, but of course that doesn't help you now), basically non-marked sections are neither greedy nor non-greedy under POSIX rules, so regex finds the match it does because it makes $2 further to the left than the alternative (without effecting the overall match). You can get the effect you want by making your expression more "precise": "([\\w]+):[\\s]*([^\\s].*)" for example, John. --------------------------------- Want to chat instantly with your online friends?

When using bind, think of member function pointers as having an operator() like this one, and try to forget the ugly member pointer syntax. > So in the bind I was thinking that > Boost::bind( Base::CheckFunc, x ) > > I wrongly assumed that the T value was the variable passed in by the > find_if and the second parameter was the x my second variable on my > func. With bind(), no parameter is special, including the implicit object parameter. If we have: g = boost::bind(f, _1, x) then g(y) maps to: f(y, x) in our case, 'f' is an adaptor around a member function pointer, which ends up calling: y->*CheckFunc(x) Doug _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users(a)lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users

Further thought: has anyone ever written (made available) something like <vstream> for streaming into and out of vectors (similar to <sstream>). Or perhaps <cstream> - generic container streaming in/out, with specializations for vector, etc. - or has such a thing just never been needed by anybody before? tia zen

Trying to get boost threads working under visual .NET
by Brian Bowles 28 Sep '03

28 Sep '03

I'm trying to get the Boost thread library working under Microsoft .Net, here is what I've done and the problems I'm seeing. I am currnetly using the regex lib and the date/time classes, which are working. I now want to start creating threads so I follow the given example, and started to get linker errors for xtime_get and boost::thread::sleep. So I look around, and do the bjam -sTOOLS=msvc in the appropriate threads directory and get no errors. It still won't link. I notice that the only boost*.lib files in my vc7\lib dir were from boost_regexp, so I copy 4 files boost_thread(d).dll/lib into that directory. I then explicitely add boost_threadd.lib into the project's link. Ok, so now my application compiles AND links, but it wants boost_threadd.dll when it executes. So I copy boost_threadd.dll into the projects Debug directory wehre the .exe compiles to. Now when I run it, I get a dialog box saying the application failed because "boost_regex_vc7_mdid.dll" can not be loaded! the regex stuff was working FINE and I don't think I did anyhting to change it. So can someone shed some light on this for me, please ? Why does it now want the boost_regex dll? Thanks for any input.. if I've missed some crucial documentation somewhere, sorry.

RE: [Boost-users] Base Pointer member functions failure

Alright I am now functioning in my code. Now the hard part. Can you explain to me what I am missing. The _1 states to use the first paramter in the first position. Doug mentioned that there is an implicit 'this' argument. So the bind is creating a function object template<class S, class T, class A> With the constructor of somefunc( S (T::*p)(A) ); // declaring the pointer to the function then the operator is operator( T *p, A x ) and calls the func So in the bind I was thinking that Boost::bind( Base::CheckFunc, x ) I wrongly assumed that the T value was the variable passed in by the find_if and the second parameter was the x my second variable on my func. What am I missing. I just don't want my code to work I want to know why. Makes reusing the thing much easier.

Building boost threads with MinGW
by Jeremy Godfrey 27 Sep '03

27 Sep '03

Hi, When I build boost threads with bjam and MinGW, the resulting DLL is not dependent on mingwm10.dll like (as I understand things) all MinGW multithreaded binaries should be. This would indicate that the -mthreads compile/link option is not being used. Does anyone know how to fix this? Regards, Jeremy Godfrey --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

istream U istream_iterator -> traverser
by Zenaan Harkness 27 Sep '03

27 Sep '03

Sidestepping any ascii/binary issues for the moment, I am reading a part-binary, part-ascii file(s) and needing to process them (extract their data). I have need to read characters, as well as read in "binary" numbers, and print the whole lot out as ascii, with delimiters, etc (I use a mini-program/ format-string as a 'driver' to specify to my program how to process the input). I eventually realised (after converting my code back and fort between iterator style and istream style) that in fact I need both an istream and an input iterator (conveinence factor here). So firstly, I created both an istringstream, and an istream_iterator over that istringstream. Using either to .get or >> extract stuff from my string/stream would advance the underlying buffer, so things seem to work out well. I then decided to combine the two into a single class, which I can then "hide" implementation details or add functionality (eg. manipulators to specify byte-oirdering, endianness, etc), and still have one nice big interface of stream + iterator to get stuff from. My question is, why did this initial cut not compile: using namespace std; class istringtraverser : public istringstream, public istream_iterator<char> { public: istringtraverser(string s) : istringstream(s), istream_iterator<char>(*this) {} }; While this one DOES compile: using namespace std; class istringtraverser : public istringstream, public istream_iterator<char> { istringstream* miss; public: istringtraverser(string s) : istringstream(s), miss(this), istream_iterator<char>(*miss) {} }; And, how can I instantiate my traverser without it segfaulting? Eg., on my debian box, "istringtraverser st(some_string);" compiles but segfaults. Any insight appreciated, Zenaan PS I'm a Java programmer learning C++, finding out that C++ is more powerful/ featureful, yet some simple things (eg. uppercase a std::string, using std::transform with std::toupper) just do not work as expected. I can see why they now teach Java as a first language at Uni.

Okay, Call me stupid but I can't get this to work class Base { virtual const bool CheckFunc(const value& val ) const { return true; } } class Derived1: public Base { } class Derived2: public Base { } // some where else in code Derived1 dev1; Derived2 dev2; vector<Base *> vecBase; vecBase.push_back( &dev1 ); vecBase.push_back( &dev2 ); value aVal; vec<Base *> std::find_if( vecBase.begin(), vecBase.end(), boost::bind( Base::CheckFunc, aVal ) ); I have tried a gazillion things a thought would work using mem_fun_ref and such. This ones get's me the closest I believe but I get a bunch of qualifier to funcation type has no meaning warnings. As well I get a condiation expression of type 'overloaded-function is illegal. I am using VS.Net 2003. Any ideas on what I am missing. As well can I get my cake and eat it to by making the CheckFunc virtual and have it resolve to the derived form?

boost regex and match_partial
by Angus Leeming 26 Sep '03

I'm afraid I haven't got the hang of match_partial. Below is a little code with two functions that I think should produce identical results, but don't. In strip_commas_try1 I use: boost::regex const front("^( *[[],*)(.*)$"); regex_match(it, end, what, front); In strip_commas_try2 I use: boost::regex const front("^( *[[],*)"); regex_match(it, end, what, front, boost::match_partial); Why does this second case not result in what[0].matched ?

[bgl] how to reverse a graphvizDigraph?
by Jeremie Leguay 24 Sep '03

24 Sep '03

Hi! I would like to reverse all the edges of a graphviz graph but the structure of this kind of graph doesn't seems to fit with the one use by the reverse_graph functionalities. Am I true or did I forget something? Here is the code that doesnt work: GraphvizDigraph g; read_graphviz("datas",g); typedef reverse_graph<GraphvizDigraph> ReverseGraphType; ReverseGraphType gr(g); print_graph(gr, get(vertex_index, gr)); //if I remove this line, it works! More generally, I would like to inverse the graph with keeping the same indexes on the vertices. Do you have ideas? best regards /Jeremie Leguay

regex problem
by Scott McCaskill 24 Sep '03

24 Sep '03

I seem to be having some trouble with the regex library: #include <boost/regex.hpp> #include <cassert> #include <iostream> int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { using namespace boost; cmatch what; assert(regex_match("foo: bar", what, regex("([\\w]+):[\\s]*(.*)"))); assert(what.size() == 3); assert(what[1].matched); assert(what[2].matched); assert(std::string("foo") == std::string(what[1])); std::cout << std::string(what[2]) << "\n"; assert(std::string("bar") == std::string(what[2])); // fails return 0; } The last assert always fails, because regex::match insists on including the space after the ":" in the second match result, which seems wrong to me. I've tried giving various different combinations of flags to the regex ctor, although from what I can tell from the documentation the default flags should work. This is with VC7 and boost 1.30.2. For comparison, perl (5.6.1) does not seem to have this problem, as the following script illustrates: #!/usr/bin/perl print "matches: <$1> <$2>\n" if ('foo: bar' =~ /([\w]+):[\s]*(.*)/); Is there any way to get the behavior I want?

Regex and stream processing

Hello everybody and especially Dr John Maddock :) ! First of all I wish to thank all developers for this amazing product. I come here to get an advice and here is my problem: We have a stream of text data (actually it is a chunked response of a webserver, but it might be a file or something...) The data size may be very large and we need to do some find/replace in this stream using regular expressions. It is not possible to load entire stream into the memory. I'm not even hope that Regex++ could work with such kind of streams, but maybe someone can suggest me a solution to this problem?

regex compile problem with vc6 and stlport
by Sven Olsen 23 Sep '03

23 Sep '03

I am using MSVC6 (sp5) with STLport v4.5.3 and attempting to compile boost::regex v3.31, as far as I know these are the latest versions/updates. I dutifully followed the installation instructions, but `nmake -fvc6-stlport.mak` died with the error: ../src/cpp_regex_traits.cpp(662) : error C2660: 'isspace' function does not take 2 parameters By building the files in the IDE, I was able to figure out why the isspace error happens: there is a global scope isspace() defined in ctype.h. The isspace problem can be fixed by defining BOOST_REGEX_STD to be std:: (in other words, getting rid of the old STLport isspace workaround). But with that done, I now get a number of linking errors when I try to build the library using nmake (though I have been able to compile .dlls via the IDE). By manually adding stlport_vc6.lib to the list of linked libraries, I can get rid of all reported linking errors, but the dll's are still failing to compile. Has anyone else using STLport v4.5.3 and regex 3.31 (boost dist 1.30.2) gotten the library to compile under MSVC6? At this point I may try compiling the dlls by hand through the IDE, but it seems like there ought to be a way to get nmake working... Thanks, Sven PS- I should probably admit that this is my first time trying to compile regex using STLport, so it's quite possible that there is some silly little thing that I am doing wrong... I have tried setting the include and lib paths both manually and using the STLPORT_PATH environment variable (C:\STLport-4.5.3 in my case), and I get the same results either way.

Icompatibility between MS cl preprocessor and boost macro constructs
by m.doppler＠icoserve.com 22 Sep '03

22 Sep '03

Hi, the header files boost/iterator_adaptors.hpp and boost/regex/v3/instances.hpp contain macro constructs that are icompatible with the Microsoft compiler cl when using them in a source file, preprocessing the source to a another source file and afterwards compiling the preprocessed source file. For iterator_adaptors.hpp, cl version 13.00 is affected, for instances.hpp cl 13.00 and 13.10. The problem can be reproduced by compiling the following simple source file (test.cpp) in the base boost directory (boost-1.30.2): #include "boost/iterator_adaptors.hpp" #include "boost/regex.hpp" int main(void) { return 0; } The commandline to preprocess the file is: cl /TP /GX /EHsc /Zc:wchar_t /Zc:forScope /c /I. /P test.cpp The commandline to compile the previously preprocessed file is: cl /TP /GX /EHsc /Zc:wchar_t /Zc:forScope /c /I. test.i Note that when directly compiling the same test program using the following commandline the problem disappears: cl /TP /GX /EHsc /Zc:wchar_t /Zc:forScope /c /I. test.cpp One might expect that the last command line should produce the same result as the first two, but unfortunately this is not the case. I have attached a patch file that solves the icompatibility with the preprocessor by incorporating the following changes: - In instances.hpp the patch adds single spaces between the BOOST_DEFAULT_ALLOCATOR and the end of some template declarations. - In iterator_adaptors.hpp the conditional BOOST_WORKAROUND macros are refactored from inside the template declarations of indirect_iterator_generator and indirect_iterator_pair_generator to the front of them by duplicating the template struct definitions minus the BOOST_WORKAROUND code in the else branch of the conditional macro. In case you wonder why we need to preprocess the source file into a seperate file before compiling it: This is required to use distcc (http://distcc.samba.org) with Microsofts cl. Is there a chance this patch gets accepted for the next boost version?

boost::TokenizerFunction
by Zenaan Harkness 21 Sep '03

21 Sep '03

TokenizerFunction "Expression Semantics" table (documentation - eg. on debian: /usr/share/doc/libboost-doc/HTML/libs/tokenizer/index.htm), states that "tok is constructed", as part of "Precondition". However I note two things: 1: on looking at the source code for the provided example functions, each constructs a Token as it's first (or second) line of code in the call to operator(). 2: the "Semantics" says "The return value [bool] indicates whether a new token was found in the sequence". If there is no token available (eg. we are already at end of stream(/string) and will return false) why waste effort constructing storage for a token? Why does the doco say that the token must be constructed as a precondition? Is the code wrong, or the doco - ie. should my custom function construct a new (empty) token, or follow doco and have user construct one? It would seem potentially more efficient for the user to construct one, as they may be reused. I am trying to use (my own custom) function directly, in a for loop. Why would I use tokenizer class to wrap it? There is no example on using a function directly, thus these string of questions which I would like some answers on. The documentation for TokenizerFunction doesn't seem to have a proper doxygen-like api description - at least not on my local debian installation. So I have to revert to the source. As I'm a newbie, it is requiring quite a bit of going back and forth to try and figure it all out - eg., should I use a tokenizer (container), token_iterator, or just for-loop on a specific (custom) tokenizer function?? Finally, as I've been trying to figure out how to write my own TokenizerFunction. Delving into the code for the example TFs has eventually led me there, but a simpler example in the documentation would be very useful for other newbies, I'm sure. - I know, I should post the code. Well, I'm not done yet, and I'm implementing a function I need specifically, as opposed to just for learning or doco, but perhaps later in the week I can send something along if no one beats me to it. Once I understand it all a bit better. Simple one-hit functions can be a good way to learn how to code what you need (ie. not templatized). A progression from a one-hit to a templatized version would be ideal for learning. TIA Zen -- Mr Zenaan Harkness Phone +61 (0)412 166 990 Please respect the confidentiality of this email.

Q: exceptions and -fPIC
by Andrey Nechypurenko 19 Sep '03

19 Sep '03

Hi, I am on the following platform: Linux 2.6.0-test5 #11 Wed Sep 10 20:28:31 CEST 2003 i686 unknown Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-slackware-linux/3.2.2/specs Configured with: ../gcc-3.2.2/configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --enable-__cxa_atexit --disable-checking --with-gnu-ld --verbose --target=i386-slackware-linux --host=i386-slackware-linux Thread model: posix gcc version 3.2.2 Boost version 1.30.2 compiled with: bjam "-sTOOLS=gcc" I have a question regarding the following boost::filesystem use case: try { for(fs::directory_iterator dir_itr(full_path); dir_itr != end_iter; ++dir_itr ) { // use dir_itr } } catch(const std::exception &ex) { std::cout << ex.what() << std::endl; } In case of full_path pointed to the directory without read permissions the corresponding exception is thrown and catched in the catch block. My problem is that if I compile my application with -fPIC option, I am unable to catch the exception anymore and the program is simply aborted. I need to use -fPIC because of other library which has own build system and if I follow suggested guidlines for Makefile, I get -fPIC automatically. I would verry appreciate if somebody could tell me are there any ways to make the code mentioned above work when it is compiled with -fPIC? Should I recompile boost with -fPIC? If yes, what is the right place to set this parameter? BTW how it is supposed to write a shared library which includes boost code? As I understand, than my code must be compiled with -fPIC... Thanks, Andrey. P.S. Here is example I am using and the makefile: // ttt.cpp #include <iostream> #include <boost/filesystem/operations.hpp> #include <boost/filesystem/path.hpp> namespace fs = boost::filesystem; int main(int argc, char **argv) { try { fs::path full_path = fs::system_complete(fs::path(argv[1], fs::native)); fs::directory_iterator end_iter; for(fs::directory_iterator dir_itr(full_path); dir_itr != end_iter; ++dir_itr ) { std::cout << dir_itr->leaf() << std::endl; } } catch(const std::exception &ex) { std::cout << ex.what() << std::endl; } return 0; } Makefile: CPPFLAGS := -I/usr/local/src/boost LDFLAGS := -L/usr/local/src/boost/libs/filesystem/build/bin/libboost_filesystem.a/gcc/debug/runtime-link-dynamic/ LIBS := $(LIBS) -lboost_filesystem ttt: ttt.cpp c++ $(CPPFLAGS) -g -ftemplate-depth-128 -fPIC -Wall $(LDFLAGS) -o $@ ttt.cpp $(LIBS) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Spirit library - Problem with the copy constructor of the class rule<> ?
by fritz.birnbacher＠t-online.de 18 Sep '03

18 Sep '03

Hello, I am new in using boost and I played a little bit with the spirit library. I tried following code using MSVC 7.1 and boost 1.30.2 #include"stdafx.h" #include<spirit.hpp> using namespace boost::spirit; rule<> GetRule() { rule<> r = anychar_p; return r; } void Parse1() { char s[] = "ABCD"; parse(s, GetRule()); } void Parse2() { rule<> r = anychar_p; char s[] = "ABCD"; parse(s,r); } int _tmain() { Parse1(); return 0; } Parse1() throws an exception (access violation) Parse2() works correct. Is it a compiler problem or a problem in spirit or my problem ? Thanks

Boost.Python - implementing slicing on extension container class
by Steve Horne 16 Sep '03

16 Sep '03

I'm currently writing a set of container classes using Boost.Python to wrap an existing C++ library. Progress has been very good - not even two days and I've wrapped all the existing C++ methods (at least 100). But of course a library designed for C++ is not a library designed for Python. Job 2 is to make it more Pythonic. The current problem is implementing slicing in the __getitem__, __setitem__ and __delitem__ methods. These are already working with single keys. To handle slicing, I need to identify in the key object is a slice object. This is the sticking point right now. I can access the type of the object using p.attr ("__class__") - but how do I get access to the slice type object from __builtins__ in order to compare? I could probably use a workaround such as extracting and checking a string representation from p.attr ("__class__").str (), but it seems to me that the ability to import symbols from another module (whether __builtins__ or some other Python or extension module). This could reduce to the ability to convert a PyObject* to an object instance - even more useful for using any C API functions that don't have a Boost.Python wrapper - but there seems to be no obvious way to do this. In addition, my containers are currently declared as follows... class_<classname, boost::noncopyable>("classname") ... ; The boost::noncopyable is there because the containers don't have copy constructors due to certain issues using the library in C++. Therefore, I'd like to better understand the implications of this. For instance, in Python the copy constructor is often used to make copy the entire container (as opposed to just rebinding names). Presumably Boost.Python supports this using the C++ classes copy constructor. This raises the questions... 1. How can I create an object to return to Python, containing an instance of the C++ container, without removing boost::noncopyable? (I need to do this to implement slicing too) This, I think, is roughly what is done in the Inheritance section of the tutorial so I probably need something like the 'factory' function. So, to reduce it to a simple copy-function example, the following should be about right... Base* container::make_copy () { container *temp = new container (); temp->do_copy (*this); return temp; } ... .def("make_copy", container::make_copy, return_value_policy<manage_new_object>()) I think this should be right, but confidence is low. 2. How can I support the Python copy constructor without having a C++ copy constructor. I'm using boost-1.30.2 with Python 2.2.3 and Visual Studio 7. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Bug in boost::format with 0 valued integer
by Simon Clift 15 Sep '03

15 Sep '03

Hi folks, There appears to be a bug in boost::format, an unitialized value problem spotted when I was using valgrind on a program of mine. The following test code illustrates the (admittedly minor?) problem: #include <boost/format.hpp> #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int dummy = 5; cout << boost::format( "%05d" ) % dummy << endl; dummy = 0; cout << boost::format( "%05d" ) % dummy << endl; }; I compiled this with -g and when run with valgrind it seems that the put_last function in feed_args.hpp sends an uninitialized value into the standard library <<(int) operator when the integer to be printed is 0 and leading zeros are specified. Valgrind reports (clipped for size) on the second ::format call (but not the first) of the test code: ==28879== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s) ==28879== at 0x40289470: (within /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.3) ... ==28879== by 0x4028F36B: std::ostream::operator<<(int) (in /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.3) ==28879== by 0x804CF8D: void boost::io::detail::(anonymous namespace)::put_last<char, std::char_traits<char>, int>(std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> >&, int&) (feed_args.hpp:114) ==28879== by 0x804C9A2: _ZN5boost2io6detail31_GLOBAL__N_test00Fill.cppfx7Zjb3putIcSt11char_traitsIcERiEEvT1_RKNS1_11format_itemIT_T0_EERSbIS9_SA_SaIS9_EERSt19basic_ostringstreamIS9_SA_SE_E (feed_args.hpp:176) ==28879== by 0x804BF44: void boost::io::detail::distribute<char, std::char_traits<char>, int&>(boost::basic_format<char, std::char_traits<char> >&, int&) (feed_args.hpp:237) ==28879== by 0x804ABB6: _ZN5boost2io6detail4feedIcSt11char_traitsIcERiEERNS_12basic_formatIT_T0_EESA_T1_ (feed_args.hpp:246) ==28879== by 0x804A14B: boost::basic_format<char, std::char_traits<char> >& boost::basic_format<char, std::char_traits<char> >::operator%<int>(int&) (format_class.hpp:69) ...

I've tended to rely on the common sense of the user (after all i cannot detect other possible errors such as 'oend < obegin') but i suppose the following addition at the start would seem sensible: ASSERT(obegin != oend); As for your second point - the amount of time saved by 'the former behaviour' depends on how expensive the predicate is and how many times it will be called if no more satisfactory items are available. As the entries in the output buffer are overwritten as and when required there is no need in any general sense to clear it between calls and this surely obviates any advantage your proposed approach may have.

You can find an implementation of copy_if in Boost Wiki here: http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl?STLAlgorithm… An extension that i find useful is the following: template<class II, class OI, class PRED> std::pair<II,OI> copy_if(II ibegin, II iend, OI obegin, OI oend, PRED p) { for(; ibegin != iend; ++ibegin) { if(p(*ibegin)) { *obegin = *ibegin; if(++obegin == oend) break; } } return std::make_pair(ibegin, obegin); } Here we have a finite sized sink.

copy_if

12 Sep '03

Does boost have an implementation of copy_if that I can't find yet? Just wondering, because it is an algorithm that, according to both stroustrup and o'rielly, should have been part of the standard but was essentially accidentally forgotten. Surely this (and possibly other necessary additions) would be part of an boost algorithm library, even if only one or two functions... I need copy_if, both these books I have say it's one of "the first generic algorithm that most programmers will probably write", so where is it? ???

Boost's pool implementation
by Thomas Harning 11 Sep '03

11 Sep '03

First off, I think the Boost pool is a great tool and for me has been one of the most useful of Boost's libraries. I have run into a problem however, due to the pool's usage of "malloc" and "free" as the names of functions. The problem is that I want to debug memory usage in my program and catch memory leaks, but using the leak detection in Visual Studio 7.1 for the CRT creates a macro for malloc and free, which conflicts with the pool's malloc and free and makes a general mess. Is there any better memory debug library/tools out there that are free and can get the line/file that the memory allocation occurred and the size perhaps and possibly a portion of the contained data as a character string? Perhaps I could write up a patch to rename the malloc and free from the boost pool [though I see that would be quite a pain to the existing users of boost's pool since code would have to be rewritten with whatever function is added]. Thanks. Thomas Harning Jr.

boost::pool base class new override
by Rodrigo Serafim 11 Sep '03

11 Sep '03

hi first question: where on earth was boost while I was doing my last year project? just thinking of the amount of trouble I could have saved if I knew about it... makes me bang my head against several walls ;) Well, I starter looking towards memory managment with other eyes after 90% of my bugs being directly originated form it. So after looking on the boost memory library a question popped: how can I use smart pointers and pool toguether. In particular intrusive pointers and/or pool, being the "and/or" essencial. If i have class C all made and ready and now I want it work with smart pointers i just have to make a base class RefCount, use multiple inheritance to contruct C_RC and i can have both things. Problem is, now i want to use it in pool too, but my base class RefCount calls delete. My solution; make yet another base class Poolable and override new and delete there. Well to my surprise it worked but only in very special cases. I have to use pool<> and cant use object_pool<C_RC_P> it crashes. Also it only works in MSVC6 in Release, in Debug it crashes. In a nutshell, my questions: - Is object_pool->malloc / free diferent in semantics from pool->malloc / free ? - I dont mind using pool<> but doing pool<>(sizeof(C_RC_P)) isnt that typesafe, can I make it? - Why does it crash in debug ? I send the code in attatchement. sorry abount the lengthy mail, too many question, too little time Thanks, Rodrigo Serafim

This requires that you tell them which dependent names (names of things that depend on a template parameter) are being used as type or template names. You need to put the keyword "template" in front of "get<num>" so that the compiler can parse it correctly. Ben.

2D Shared Array
by Kevin J. Menard, Jr. 11 Sep '03

11 Sep '03

Hi, Is it possible to build a shared_array of shared_arrays? I would imagine there must be away, but I haven't been so successful at my attempts to find it :-/ I'm working on converting an existing project over to the boost smart pointer library. We've been using dynamically allocated 2D arrays to hold points in a matrix, and would like to take advantage of the automatic clean-up that the boost smart pointers can provide. That's why I would like to make a shared_array of shared_arrays of some data type. Any help would be appreciated. And if I'm approaching this all wrong, please let me know.

Boost.Threads, gcc and HP-UX
by Raul Huertas Diaz 11 Sep '03

11 Sep '03

I've noticed that in boost/config/platform/hpux.hpp this lines: #ifdef __GNUC__ // GNU C on HP-UX does not support threads (checked up to gcc 3.3) # define BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS #endif have been added in version 1.30.x. Please, ¿can someone explain me why? I have commented out the #define BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS and it works in gcc 3.2 with HP-UX 11.00. We do not use Jam to build the library, but I think that that doesn't matter. gcc --version: gcc (GCC) 3.2 Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Hi. Calling boost::gregorian::from_string with string value = 2003-07-28 produces a range exception, i.e. year supposedly does not fall inside the range covered by boost::gregorian::date!!!! Any suggestions? Greetings, Andre.

Boost.Python: is my code safe?
by Matthew Bray 10 Sep '03

10 Sep '03

I have a question regarding the use of Boost.Python. What I would like to do is to provide a simple scripting interface to an application in much the same way as Microsoft use Visual Basic within much of their product line (e.g. Excel) to provide direct access to the applications object model. My design is stunningly rendered below, +-------------------------+ | Application--+ | | | | Dynamically +---------------+ | v | Linked | Python Module | | +--->ObjectModel<------------------| | | | | +---------------+ | +---------------------+ | | | | Python Interpretter |<----------------------+ | | | | ">>> import ..." | +---------------------+ | +-------------------------+ What we have firstly is a our python module, in this case it exports a simple class 'ObjectModel' with various functions, sub objects and whatever else is required for the application to run. This is our Object Model, and is usable from the python interpretter on the command line. For what we have in mind however is for the python interpretter to be running inside the application (through use of the Py* functions from the python API and use of the relevant parts of Boost.Python - handle<>, object). What I want is for the application and the python instance to share the object model, for the interpretter to have knowledge of the ObjectModel it is simply imported from the python module. The application itself is linked against the python module in order to use ObjectModel (the relevant compiler specific code is inserted so that the ObjectModel class is exported/imported - __declspec(dllexport) and dllimport under Visual C++). With this setup, it is now possible to create an instance of ObjectModel within the python interpretter and use extract<ObjectModel*>(...) in order to get access to it within the application, no doubt it is also possible to create the ObjectModel within the application and pass it to the python interpretter to use it there. Now my question basically regards pitfalls in this approach, there are two instances of the Python Module in use here but I'm sure that as long as care is taken to ensure the ObjectModel is destructed on the same heap that it was created on then there shall be no problems. Is there any other, possibly better way to do this perhaps - e.g. without requiring the use of the module at all, simply passing the Boost.Python class descriptions directly to the embedded interpretter. A simple test harness I have /appears/ to work fine with the above design. Here's an extremely cut down bit of code that should show kind of what I'm working on if I'm being a little unclear: my_module.hpp - this is the class that is in the python module that we shall have access to within python and our application: struct PLATFORM_SPECIFIC_DLL_EXPORT_COMMAND ObjectModel { const char * name() const; }; my_application.cpp - assume all the correct headers are included, the module is linked against etc: int main(int argc,char ** argv) { Py_Initialize(); //initialize the environment handle<> main_module(borrowed(PyImport_AddModule("__main__"))); handle<> main_namespace( borrowed(PyModule_GetDict(main_module.get()))); //import our python module handle<>(PyRun_String("import my_module", Py_file_input, main_namespace.get(), main_namespace.get()) ); //create a new instance of ObjectModel within python handle<>(PyRun_String("model = my_module.ObjectModel()", Py_file_input, main_namespace.get(), main_namespace.get())); //get the instance of ObjectModel and use it within our application object tmp(main_namespace); ObjectModel * model = extract<ObjectModel *>(tmp["model"]); cout << model->name() << endl; Py_Finalize(); } Mat.

regex traits for multibyte strings
by Ben Hutchings 09 Sep '03

09 Sep '03

Is it possible to define a traits class for regex that supports multibyte strings? I am intending to do so, but I'm unsure that it is possible because there are several required functions that take a parameter of type char_type, which wouldn't really hold a complete character.

win32.hpp has a using std::max, min
by Charles Schwartz 08 Sep '03

08 Sep '03

win32.hpp has using std::min and using std::max directives. (win32.hpp in fact overrides these functions). These directives hinder use of the max function elsewhere in a client program, for example, by #included c libraries, which are expecting to use the global (non overridden) max function. Indeed, Sutter's More Exceptional C++ #40 (p. 236) asserts that using directives/declerations should never appear in any headers (certainly not at file scope!). Will this be removed in future releases?

Building Boost with Intel compiler 7.0 and STLPort on windows
by Andre du Toit 08 Sep '03

08 Sep '03

Hello. Does anyone know whether it is currently possible to use Boost with the Intel Compiler v7.0 and the latest STLport, in windows? It seems I still have to hack files in date_time/posix_time (specifically time_formatters.hpp), to reduce my compile errors. Like defining BOOST_MSVC and then undeffing it, before line 43 of this file is processed. Otherwise I get ambigious operator definitions. Also, is it possible to actually build the date_time library with the Intel compiler and STLport at the same time? Why is there a msvc-stlport toolset but no intel-stlport toolset? O; another thing. Has anyone perhaps built boost in MSYS before? If MSVC + Intel setup is giving me too much hassle, I am going to try and build boost in MSYS. Greetings, Andre

lambda and smart pointers
by Rodolfo Lima 08 Sep '03

08 Sep '03

What's the proper way to use lambda with smart pointers? I'm trying to compile the following: class Dados { public: Dados(int _a) : a(_a) {}; int Pega() const { return a; } private: int a; }; int main() { shared_ptr<Dados> pDados(new Dados(5)); cout << (bind(&Dados::Pega, _1)(pDados)==5) << endl; return 0; } I've already tried with *_1 with no success. In this case, the compiler (VC7.1) returns "error C2039: 'iterator_category' : is not a member of 'boost::shared_ptr<T>'". Any hope? Thanks, rod

Compile errors boost 1.30.2
by Andre du Toit 08 Sep '03

08 Sep '03

Hi. I get the following error when compiling the latest version of boost, using Intel compiler 7.0 in visual c++: ..\..\..\boost\boost/type_traits/is_integral.hpp(39): error: class "boost::is_integral<unsigned short>" has already been defined BOOST_TT_AUX_BOOL_TRAIT_CV_SPEC1(is_integral,wchar_t,true) Now the offending line sits between a "#ifndef BOOST_NO_INTRINSIC_WCHAR_T". The simple fix of defining BOOST_NO_INTRINSIC_WCHAR_T solves this problem, but causes other problems in other locations. All I want is to compile and link against boost::date_time library, using my compiler setup. Thats all. Any suggestions? Greetings, Andre

is this what you had in mind?? I've considered this from time to time (first time I've formalized it tho) especially thinking of alternatives to the 3 delimiter arguments (substitute one? "{,}" ??) or what-have-you maybe we should boostify it? template <typename InputItr> ostream& range_streamer(ostream& to, InputItr start, InputItr stop, const char* sdelim, const char* mdelim, const char* edelim) { // output the beginning delimiter to << sdelim; // output the 1st element if it exists if (start != stop) to << *start++; // output the rest of the list (if any) separated by mdelim while (start != stop) { to << mdelim << *start; ++start; } //output the ending delimiter and return return to << edelim; } and of course, if you're going to do it, do it all the way: template <typename Container> inline ostream& container_streamer(ostream& to, Container const& cont, const char* sdelim, const char* mdelim, const char* edelim) {return range_streamer(to, cont.begin(), cont.end(), sdelim, mdelim, edelim);} At Wednesday 2003-09-03 09:07, you wrote: >Before rolling my own, does boost have a facility to stream out an iterator >range without the dangling delimiter at the end?

[BGL] adjacency property iterator
by sashan 05 Sep '03

05 Sep '03

Hi Is there an adjancency iterator for property types. You can get an iterator for property types like this: typedef graph_property_iter_range<GraphType, vertex_name_t>::iterator VNameIterator; .... tie(It, ItEnd) = get_property_iter_range(m_Graph, vertex_name); I'd like to know if there is something similar for adjacency iterators. I posted this question a few days ago but got no response so I guess that the answer is no but I want to make sure. Thanks -- sashan http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~sgov008/

using boost::mem_fn result as a parameter?
by Mark Sizer 04 Sep '03

04 Sep '03

I'm new to boost::bind and boost::mem_fn. I've read the documentation and I think I understand what they do, but I'm not sure how to use them to accomplish my task. I have a class that contains several vectors in a map. I want to put a "foreach" method on the class that will callback an arbitrary member function, of an arbitrary class, for each item in the vector. I'm stuck on the signature of that method. A quick sketch of the structure: class VectorContent { public: void dosomething(); // there are bunches more, which is why I don't // want a foreach for every possible choice. }; class VectorHolder { std::map<std::string, std::vector<VectorContent> >; std::vector<VectorContent>& rvectGet(const std::string& rksName); public: void foreach( const std::string& rksName, <WHAT?> ); }; // the callback Caller::Bar( VectorContent& vc ) { vc.dosomething(); } I see two options for the caller: // option 1 Caller::Foo1() { VectorHolder callee; // in this case, foreach uses boost::mem_fn(), not me callee.foreach( "VectorName", &this::Bar ); } // option 2 Caller::Foo2(); { VectorHolder callee; callee.foreach( "VectorName", boost::mem_fn(&this::Bar) ); } In the case of option 1, all callers must share a common base class, which they do NOT, so that the signature of VectorHolder::foreach can be: typedef void (BaseClass::* MyCallBack)(VectorContent&); Leading to: void VectorHolder::foreach( const std::string& rsName, MyCallBack callback ) { std::vector<VectorContent>& rvect = rvectGet( rsName ); std::for_each( rvect.begin(), rvect.end(), boost::mem_fn(callback) ); } In the case of option 2, I have no idea what the signature should be. But the resulting method would be: void VectorHolder::foreach( std::string& rsName, WHAT? callback ) { std::vector<VectorContent>& rvect = rvectGet( rsName ); std::for_each( rvect.begin(), rvect.end(), callback ); } Grateful for any help, - Mark P.S. If there's an "option 3", I'm up for that, too.

ostream_iterator and std::copy - better solutions?
by Jeff Flinn 03 Sep '03

03 Sep '03

Before rolling my own, does boost have a facility to stream out an iterator range without the dangling delimiter at the end? For example std::ostream& operator<<( std::ostream& s, const MyClass& aC ) { const std::string lDelim( "," ); std::vector<int> lInts; lInts.push_back(1); lInts.push_back(2); lInts.push_back(3); std::ostream_iterator<int> lItr( s, lDelim.c_str() ); std::copy( lInts.begin(), lInts.end(), lItr ); } yields: 1,2,3, I'm thinking something like the following usage would be nice: s << range_streamer( lInts.begin(), lInts.end(), "{", "," "}" ); yielding: {1,2,3} Any thoughts? -- Jeff Flinn Applied Dynamics, International

boost lambda examples
by paulgrenyer 03 Sep '03

Hi MSVC 7.1, Windows 2000 I'm trying to get to grips with the boost lambda library. I've managed to get the first example to work: #include <boost/lambda/lambda.hpp> #include <iostream> #include <cstdlib> #include <list> #include <algorithm> int main() { using namespace std; using namespace boost::lambda; list<int> v(10); for_each(v.begin(), v.end(), _1 = 12 ); return EXIT_SUCCESS; } but when I add the following line (also from the docs): for_each( v.begin(), v.end(), cout << *_1 << '\n' ); I get the following errors: error C2039: 'reference' : is not a member of 'std::iterator_traits<int>' error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'type' error C2501: 'boost::lambda::detail::contentsof_type<A>::type' : missing storage-class or type specifiers error C2039: 'type' : is not a member of 'boost::lambda::detail::contentsof_type<A>' error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'type' I've tried including some the other Lambda headers but this didn't improve the situation.

"invalid token pasting" macro bug

When I use Spirit with CodeWarrior 9 (just released), I get a bunch of warnings as shown below. The CodeWarrior release notes explain that "According to the language standard, the '##' token pasting operator can only generate other tokens. This warning indicates when a paste was found that did not result in a token. The code will still compile as it did previously, but it may be a useful hint if the compiler emits an error later on."

how to create fixtures in unit test framework
by Anders Moe 03 Sep '03

03 Sep '03

Hi all. The boost unit test framework seems to lack the xUnit buildUp/tearDown (whatever) methods meant to faciliate the creation of fixtures. Does that mean there is an alternative idiom to achieve the same effect ? Constructing new class-test-cases for each test seems a bit overkill. Regards, Anders.

[BGL] Adding one graph to another
by Tarjei Knapstad 02 Sep '03

02 Sep '03

I need to add/copy one graph into another, both completely connected, and then create an edge between one vertex in the original graph and a vertex in the one copied into it. The edge/vertex properties needs to be copied as well, and this needs to be fairly efficient. The new edge is straightforward, but is there any functionality for the copy/add operation? (Something like an "add_component" algorithm I guess...) To my understanding both the copy_graph and copy_component algorithms both replace all the content in the target graph. If not, what would be the most efficient way to solve this sort of problem? Cheers, -- Tarjei Knapstad
