There is. boost::any can, quite literally, hold *anything*. In order to compare the objects being held, you must first know if they _can_ be compared. Consider: const char * initialMessage = "Snowflakes keep falling on my head"; void f() { boost::any multiA(42L); boost::any multiB(initialMessage); //... It doesn't make sense to compare the two 'any' objects. I suppose boost::any could coerce the pointer into a long, and then apply a comparison operator, but the results of that comparison would be meaningless. In order to compare the objects, you'll have to extract them from the any container using an any_cast. Which, of course, means you'll have to know the exact type of the object being held (or which type of a known set of types). -- Jim

Sorting a container of shared_ptr<T>
by alejandro_escalante_medina 29 Aug '02

29 Aug '02

Hello to everyone. I'm starting to take a look on Boost and was happy to find things like better smart pointers. Though, in my tests, I haven't been able to sort, say, a vector of shared_ptr without defining special comparators. I thought that the overload for the < operator would help me for that, but that operator compares pointers, not objects, so it doesn't do the work that I expected. I guess I'm not understanding this well. Could someone explain this to me? Saludos, Alex

threads and signals question
by lparrab 29 Aug '02

29 Aug '02

Hi all, I guess my question is not specific to Boost.Thread, but to threading in general (I'm new at it)... still hope you can help me out, either directly or by redirecting me to the right place (links are very much appreciated) I'm starting a multi-threaded program using Boost.Thread library: it is a "server", in which a thread loops around a "select" to accept new connections and see when a socket has data to be read, in which case puts the fds in queue from which other threads are taking them out to read the data. The problem I have, is that when a "ReceiverThread" finishes reading the data from the socket, it puts the fd back in the "all connections list", but by this time the other ("main")thread already copied the fds from the list and got into the next "select" loop, which means the socket from which the "receiver" just finished reading, will not be "selected" (monitored) untill the next select loop, which will not be untill a) a new connection comes or b)one of the other connected sockets gets some data that takes makes the main thread return from select. reading the select man, I thought I could just use a signal to force select to return when the "receiver" has put the fd back in the "all connection list": the threads are now executing something like: main_thread { *put all fds from "all sockets" list into a fdset *make a select on the fdset (block till something interesting happens) *take the fds with data out of "all sockets" and put them into "sockets with data" *loop } receiver{ *get a fd from "sockets with data" (if nothing there blocks till the main_thread sends us a fd through the queue) *read from fd *put fd back into "all sockets" (problem: main_thread may be (is!) already into the select) *raise(SIGUSR1) (to force select to return and enter the loop again, but this time with our fd) } the signal handler for SIGUSR1 does nothing, it just serves to force select to return, but the code is not really working as I expected, and I realized that the problem is that each thread has its own pid, so it seems raise is actually sending a signal to the wrong thread.... as I said, I am new to mulithreading, but I thought all threads run in a process, which means, they all have the same pid. ->if I first find out the "pid" of the main_thread and change raise(SIGUSR1) to kill(pid,SIGUSR1) it works ok. so my question: why does each thread have a own pid?? how can then I send signals from one thread to another?? I discovered there is a "pthread_kill" function to send signals to specific threads, the problem is I only have boost::thread objects, no pthread_t structures. or am I talking nonsense and shouldnt be using signals with Boost.Thread? if so, how do I solve the select problem?? thanx! luis

BGL: adjacency_list: remove_edge problems
by Matthias Kronenberger 29 Aug '02

29 Aug '02

I'm using a undirected grap with hash_setS as the Edge List container and vecS as the Vertex List Container I'm using MSVC60 with SP5 as soon as i'm trying to use remove_edge(vertex1,vertex2,graph) i get the following error message. I dont understand the error message. It means, that my edgelist is a std::vector allthough i compile with boost::hash_setS. Could it be, that some BGL config file detects MSVC and concludes, that hash sets are not available in the MSVC stl?? d:\matthias\programmieren\boost\boost\graph\detail\adjacency_list.hpp(665): error C2039: 'find': Ist kein Element von 'vector<boost::detail::sei_<unsigned int,list<boost::list_edge<unsigned int,boost::property<enum boost::edge_weight_t,float,boost:: no_property>>>::iter,boost::property<enum boost::edge_weight_t,float,boost::no_property>>,allocator<boost::detail::sei _<unsigned int,list<boost::list_edge<unsigned int,boost::property<enum boost::edge_weight_t,float,boost::no_property>>>::iter,boost ::property<enum boost::edge_weight_t,float,boost::no_property>>>>' find is not an element of vector the corresponding code fragment is. template <class Graph, class EdgeList, class Vertex> inline void remove_edge_and_property(Graph& g, EdgeList& el, Vertex v, boost::disallow_parallel_edge_tag) { typedef typename EdgeList::value_type StoredEdge; typename EdgeList::iterator i = el.find(StoredEdge(v)), end = el.end(); if (i != end) { g.m_edges.erase((*i).get_iter()); el.erase(i); } }

Then another group of threads is taking this requests and doing something, and putting Response objects in yet another queue, which another group of threads "Sender" is taking and sending thorugh the socket.

[BGL] undirectedS self-loop add_edge assertion
by Chris Russell 27 Aug '02

27 Aug '02

Just a quick mention: A call to add_edge with u == v causes an assertion if Directed == undirectedS. adjacency_list.hpp line 843: assert( u != v ); // don't allow self-loops ^- boost_1_28_0 Avoiding the assertion is easy enough but this is inconsistent w/section 14.1.1 p.220 of the BGL book: "... Also if u and v are descriptors for the same vertex (creating self loop) and the graph is undirected, then the edge will not be created and the flag will be false." Am having tons of fun - the BGL and the book are super. Thanks! - Chris

lambda library usage
by khuroth 27 Aug '02

27 Aug '02

I have a View class that has some widgets, and a Controller class that controls the view, so the View class has a GetController() member function that returns a reference to its controller. When the View's constructor is called, GetController() would return a bad ref, but it would return a valid reference by the time a button is clicked... so what I'm trying to do is, inside the View constructor: my_button.on_click = bind( (_1 ->* &A::GetController).DoSomething(), this ); but that obviously doesn't work... I'm even having trouble just saving the first part: my_button.on_click = bind<Controller&>(_1 ->* &A::GetController, this); also doesn't work... I tried defining the on_click member of the button as a boost::function<void> or a boost::function0<void> in the first example, and a boost::function<Controller&> or boost::function0<Controller&> in the second snip... I get immense compiler errors, so I'm not sure where I messed up. What am I doing wrong?

Using Hash with Graph
by Sandeep Bhutani 26 Aug '02

26 Aug '02

Hi, I am trying to use hash feature with the graph library. Here are the various details: Solaris: SunOS 5.7 Compiler: KAI 4.0 STL: Native Sun Hash: A hacked up version of SGI/STLPort I can get graph to work with vectors/lists. I can't get it to work with the hash_set or hash_map. I get a message from the "concept_checks.h" file in my hash which essentially tells me that the hash function is not defined. I am reproducing the message from the compiler at the bottom. I am trying to make all this work by using the adjacency_list.cpp file in the examples directory. Here is the change I have made to that file: typedef adjacency_list<hash_setS, listS, undirectedS, VertexProperty, EdgeProperty> Graph; // New typedef adjacency_list<vecS, listS, undirectedS, VertexProperty, EdgeProperty> Graph; // Old Can you please help? Has anyone used the has feature in the graph library. I had to edit the line number 166 in adjacency_list.hpp to replace hash_set with hash_map. Thanks -Sandeep The message: "/lsi/home/bhutani/hash/include/concept_checks.h", line 289: error: call of an object of a class type without appropriate operator() or conversion functions to pointer-to-function type return __f(__arg); ^ detected during instantiation of "_Ret _STL_UNARY_FUNCTION_ERROR<_Func, _Ret, _Arg>::__unary_function_requirement_violation(_Func &, const _Arg &) [with _Func=std::hash<boost::detail::adj_list_gen<boost::adjacenc y_list<boost::hash_setS, boost::listS, boost::undirectedS, boost::property<boost::vertex_index_t, size_t, boost::property<boost::vertex_color_t, boost::default_color_type, boost::no_property>>, boost::property<boost::edge_name_t, std::string, boost::no_property>, boost::no_property, boost::listS>, boost::listS, boost::hash_setS, boost::undirectedS, boost::property<boost::vertex_index_t, size_t, boost::property<boost::vertex_color_t, boost::default_color_type, boost::no_property>>, boost::property<boost::edge_name_t, std::string, boost::no_property>, boost::no_property, boost::listS>::config::StoredEdge>, _Ret=size_t, _Arg=boost::detail::adj_list_gen<boost::adjacency_list<boos t::hash_setS, boost::listS, boost::undirectedS, boost::property<boost::vertex_index_t, size_t, boost::property<boost::vertex_color_t, boost::default_color_type, boost::no_property>>, boost::property<boost::edge_name_t, std::string, boost::no_property>, boost::no_property, boost::listS>, boost::listS, boost::hash_setS, boost::undirectedS, boost::property<boost::vertex_index_t, size_t, boost::property<boost::vertex_color_t, boost::default_color_type, boost::no_property>>, boost::property<boost::edge_name_t, std::string, boost::no_property>, boost::no_property, boost::listS>::config::StoredEdge]" at line 95 of "adjacency_list.cpp" 1 error detected in the compilation of "adjacency_list.cpp".

regex_match question
by yg-boost-users＠m.gmane.org 25 Aug '02

25 Aug '02

hello everybody i have a trouble with regex_match function. when i try to match a string with a pattern like "(abc)*", and if the string beeng matched contains several subexpressions 'abc', regex_match returns only one match so that i can't iterate through all of them. so, it counts subexp's in the pattern, not in the string. why it happens (i use default flags for regex_match, which must perform what i expect)? and what is the solution to the problem (the one i found so far is to parse in 2 phases - once with regex_match to be sure that the whole string matched, and then to use regex_split. but i'd like to parse the string only once and obtain all the subexp's)? thanks in advance aram

Graph - return edge_descriptor
by Shaw, Richard A 23 Aug '02

23 Aug '02

Can anybody tell my why the find_edge function in the code below fails to get a property if I return the first edge in the list. This is what happens - Find_edge looks for edge A - B It winds it and prints out the edge descriptor, and the weight of the edge It the returns the edge The main code prints out the edge descriptor and the fails when trying to print the weight. BTW - Is there a ready made function to find an edge based on the vertices ? #include <boost/config.hpp> #include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <boost/graph/graph_traits.hpp> #include <boost/graph/adjacency_list.hpp> #include <boost/graph/dijkstra_shortest_paths.hpp> using namespace boost; // Find edge template <class Graph> std::pair<bool, graph_traits<Graph>::edge_descriptor> find_edge(graph_traits<Graph>::vertex_descriptor u, graph_traits<Graph>::vertex_descriptor v, Graph g) { graph_traits<Graph>::out_edge_iterator ei, edge_end; for (boost::tie(ei,edge_end) = out_edges(u, g); ei != edge_end; ++ei) { if (target(*ei, g) == v) { std::cout << "Inside " << *ei << " " << get(edge_weight, g, *ei) << std::endl; return std::make_pair(true, *ei); } } return std::make_pair(false, *ei); // Is there a null edge that I can return ? } int main(int, char *[]) { typedef adjacency_list < listS, vecS, directedS, no_property, property < edge_weight_t, int > > graph_t; typedef graph_traits < graph_t >::vertex_descriptor vertex_descriptor; typedef graph_traits < graph_t >::edge_descriptor edge_descriptor; typedef std::pair<int, int> Edge; const int num_nodes = 5; enum nodes { A, B, C, D, E }; Edge edge_array[] = { Edge(A, C), Edge(B, B), Edge(B, D), Edge(B, E), Edge(C, B), Edge(C, D), Edge(D, E), Edge(E, A), Edge(E, B) }; int weights[] = { 1, 2, 1, 2, 7, 3, 1, 1, 1 }; int num_arcs = sizeof(edge_array) / sizeof(Edge); #ifdef BOOST_MSVC graph_t g(num_nodes); property_map<graph_t, edge_weight_t>::type weightmap = get(edge_weight, g); for (std::size_t j = 0; j < num_arcs; ++j) { edge_descriptor e; bool inserted; tie(e, inserted) = add_edge(edge_array[j].first, edge_array[j].second, g); weightmap[e] = weights[j]; } #else graph_t g(edge_array, edge_array + num_arcs, weights, num_nodes); property_map<graph_t, edge_weight_t>::type weightmap = get(edge_weight, g); #endif graph_traits < graph_t >::edge_descriptor e; bool found; std::cout << "List All" << std::endl; graph_traits < graph_t >::edge_iterator ei, ei_end; for (tie(ei, ei_end) = edges(g); ei != ei_end; ++ei) { std::cout << *ei << get(weightmap, *ei) << std::endl; } std::cout << "List Not First" << std::endl; tie(found, e) = find_edge< graph_t >(E, A, g); std::cout << "Outside " << e << get(weightmap, e) << std::endl; // This edge is OK std::cout << "List First" << std::endl; tie(found, e) = find_edge< graph_t >(A, C, g); std::cout << "Outside " << e << get(weightmap, e) << std::endl; // This line fails to get the weight return EXIT_SUCCESS; } Richard Shaw ¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤ Atkins Transport Systems Woodcote Grove Ashley Road Epsom KT18 5BW Direct Dial.: +44 (0) 1372 756407 Switchboard: +44 (0) 1372 726140 Fax: +44 (0) 1372 740055 www.atkinsglobal.com/transportsystems <www.atkinsglobal.com/transportsystems> This email and any attached files are confidential and copyright protected.

boost lambda library compile error

I have searched already in this list and the dev list for these MSVC compiler errors, but none of the solutions have worked so far.

Boost Concept Check Library
by igor_bashkirov 21 Aug '02

21 Aug '02

Hello, I work on big software project that is ported to several platforms/compilers, including Linux,Solaris/GCC 2.95.2,3.0.4); Windows/MSVC 6.0; AIX/VisualAge; MacOS X / GCC 2.95.2 (Apple). Recently, I decided to make use of Boost library (v 1.28) and the first thing I tried was Boost Concept Check Library (BCCL). Unfortunately, the use of the library wasn't as smooth as I expected, namely, with respect to BOOST_CLASS_REQUIRES macro. Thus, I'd like to submit a couple of observations and one proposal regarding usage of this macro. Let's start with observations: following is the snippet from <boost/concept_check.hpp> header: [code // The BOOST_CLASS_REQUIRES macros use function pointers as // template parameters, which VC++ does not support. #if defined(BOOST_NO_FUNCTION_PTR_TEMPLATE_PARAMETERS) #define BOOST_CLASS_REQUIRES(type_var, concept) .... #else #define BOOST_CLASS_REQUIRES(type_var, concept) \ typedef void (concept <type_var>::* func##type_var##concept)(); \ .... end code] As you could see, BOOST_CLASS_REQUIRES macros evaluate to nothing if BOOST_NO_FUNCTION_PTR_TEMPLATE_PARAMETERS symbol is defined. But, to my great surprise, I didn't find any more references to BOOST_NO_FUNCTION_PTR_TEMPLATE_PARAMETERS symbol throughout the Boost library. Moreover, the above comment about VC++ not supporting function pointers as template parameters is wrong (at least for MSVC 6.0 with SP5). Not to be unfounded, I will provide following sample program successfully compiled and run under MSVC 6.0 with SP5: [code #include <iostream> using namespace std; typedef void(*FP)(); template <FP T> class X { FP fp_; public: X() : fp_(T) {} void print() const { cout << fp_ << endl; } }; void f() {} int main(int, char**) { X<&f> x1; x1.print(); return 0; } end code] The same is true for pointers to member functions of both ordinary and template classes. OK, this observation could be treated as "cosmetic" one, but the following won't. Let's look at the definition of BOOST_CLASS_REQUIRES macro: [code #define BOOST_CLASS_REQUIRES(type_var, concept) \ typedef void (concept <type_var>::* func##type_var##concept)(); \ template <func##type_var##concept _Tp1> \ struct concept_checking_##type_var##concept { }; \ typedef concept_checking_##type_var##concept< \ BOOST_FPTR concept <type_var>::constraints> \ concept_checking_typedef_##type_var##concept end code] and at a typical usage of this macro (taken from Boost documentation): [code template <class T> struct generic_library_class { BOOST_CLASS_REQUIRES(T, EqualityComparableConcept); // ... }; end code] Here, the "EqualityComparableConcept" is a concept checking class defined in the "boost" namespace. OK, that's great and works fine until "generic_library_class" is also declared in the "boost" namespace. Let's now suppose "generic_library_class" is declared in namespace "ns1". Then, BOOST_CLASS_REQUIRES macro evaluates to following: [code namespace ns1 { template <class T> struct generic_library_class { typedef void (EqualityComparableConcept <T>::* funcTEqualityComparableConcept)(); ... }; } end code] Did you see the problem places? Yes, it's where "concept" parameter of the macro is substituted for "EqualityComparableConcept". This name is not declared in the namespace "ns1"! The first itch could be to specify "boost::EqualityComparableConcept" as a value of the second parameter of the macro, but, "not so fast, Skywalker!" - in this case we will end up with "funcTboost::EqualityComparableConcept" name for the pointer to member function that is not a legal name of C/C++ identifier. Someone could say "What a big deal?! Just write 'using namespace boost;' or 'using boost::EqualityComparableConcept;' just before declaring 'generic_library_class'.". Well, the declaration of "generic_library_class" seems to be in the header, right? And what do you think about writing "using-directives" in header files? Yes, right, - it's evil! Especially for large production code. Just check your favorite C++ book. Though, the use of "using-declarations" in headers is a moot point, I also consider it as evil for the same reasons as for "using- directives". Anyway, "using-declarations" won't help us, - they just don't work under MSVC 6.0 in our case. So, what do we have, - "exclusive circle"? I hope not. Finally, I got to the proposal that should help us to eliminate defects of the macro and to obviate above-stated difficulties. What if to add one more parameter, say, "ns", to the BOOST_CLASS_REQUIRES macro to pass the name of the namespace the concept checking class belongs to? Let's look at the new definition of the macro: [code #define BOOST_CLASS_REQUIRES(type_var, ns, concept) \ typedef void (ns::concept <type_var>::* func##type_var##ns##concept) (); \ template <func##type_var##ns##concept _Tp1> \ struct concept_checking_##type_var##ns##concept { }; \ typedef concept_checking_##type_var##ns##concept< \ BOOST_FPTR ns::concept <type_var>::constraints> \ concept_checking_typedef_##type_var##ns##concept; end code] and at it's usage: [code namespace ns1 { template <class T> struct generic_library_class { BOOST_CLASS_REQUIRES(T, boost, EqualityComparableConcept); // ... }; } end code] that will evaluate to the following: [code namespace ns1 { template <class T> struct generic_library_class { typedef void (boost::EqualityComparableConcept <T>::* funcTboostEqualityComparableConcept)(); ... }; } end code] That's it. Moreover, this solution does not suffer from yet another drawback inherent to the original one, viz, name clashing when using in the same class concept checking classes with the same name, but from different namespaces. The only issue I could see with my suggestion was impossibility to use concept checking classes declared at the global scope, but, I hope nobody would think of such thing, because it's evil (sorry for repetition). I hope the proposed solution will increase usability of the BCCL. Best regards, Igor Bashkirov.

Newbie and shared_ptr
by Ian Mold 19 Aug '02

19 Aug '02

I have been looking at the shared_ptr class, and I have made a change to include an assignment from a standard pointer. I have done this so that I don't have to create a new shared_ptr just to reassign an existing shared_ptr. // Assignment to a 'normal' pointer. shared_ptr & operator=(T * r) { this_type(r).swap(*this); return *this; } I have a few questions. 1) Is this necessary? 2) Does this do the job? 3) Is there any reason this wasn't included in the first place? I welcome any comments. Regards, IanM

BGL: Loops in undirected graph
by Tarjei Knapstad 19 Aug '02

19 Aug '02

Is there any "standard best way" of detecting loops in an undirected graph? I had a look at chapter 4.2 in the book (which does an implementation for bidirectional graphs), and tried to adapt this implementation, but with no particular luck :) The graph I've set up in my test suite looks like this (I hope my mail prog. doesn't screw up the formatting) H15 | H8 C2 \ / \ H9-C0-C1 C3-O7-H14 / | | H10 C6 C4 / \ / \ H11 C5 H13 | H12 I'm working with molecules, so the letters denote the type of atom, but that's of no importance here. The numbers are the vertex descriptors. What I'm trying to create is an algorithm that will return the set of vertices [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] defining. Now, my first step is (exactly like in the book) to record every back edge in the graph. As my graph is undirected, and there is allways a path from any one vertex to any other vertex, I thought I could just do a DFS from the first vertex in any such graph and record the back edges. In the above example, starting from 'C0', I'd expect the set of back edges obtained from a DFS to be 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5, 5-6 and 6-1, a total of 6 edges. The actual result obtained however also includes the following edges: 1-0, 11-6, 12-5, 13-4, 7-3, 14-7, 15-2, 8-0, 9-0 and 10-0. Why is this? I'm assuming there's something I missed out on, regarding graph theory and how the basic DFS works, but I cannot see any logic in this. If so, how could I modify my DFS visitor to record the (in my problem domain) "correct" back edges? This problem also gives me further trouble when trying to detect which vertices are part of each cycle. Does any of you have any suggestion for an effective implementation of the "find vertices that are part of each cycle" part of the algorithm? Any help appreciated. Cheers, -- Tarjei Knapstad

boost::function/bind Usage Again
by Albrecht Fritzsche 19 Aug '02

19 Aug '02

Here I want to extend simple callbacks so that these callbacks take an argument void fun(int i) { std::cout << "Hi fun " << i << std::endl; } struct Foo { void bar(int i) { std::cout << "Hi bar " << i << std::endl; } }; template <class Value> struct CallFunction { CallFunction(const Value& v) : mValue(value) {} // defined outside void operator()(const boost::function<void, Value>& fun) { if (fun) fun(mValue); } const Value& mValue; }; int main() { std::vector< boost::function<void, int> > funs; Foo foo; funs.push_back(&fun); funs.push_back(boost::bind(&Foo::bar, &foo, _1)); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ int value = 7; std::for_each(funs.begin(), funs.end(), CallFunction<int>(value)); return 0; } Is this the right usage of the /_1/ here? This code runs (at least on my machine:-), but I'm quite unsure about this place holder. And since the online docu... Ah, now I see - in the online doc there are some links missing. In the files section not only the bind_template.hpp link refers to that very file but also the arg.hpp and placeholders.hpp links and many more. Having checked now the sources makes not everything clear, but at least clearer. So, I would be happy if anyone could let me know if my usage includes some misuse etc... Thanks Ali

Using gcc's typeof and boost.lambda together.
by Matthew Dempsky 19 Aug '02

19 Aug '02

I was just playing around with the boost.lambda library and thought of playing a bit with it using gcc's typeof extension... this is the code I used (just slightly modified documentation code): typedef typeof(_1 = 1) assign_one; list<int> v(10); for_each(v.begin(), v.end(), assign_one()); I was hoping it would work the same as the documentation's code, but instead it generates a few big errors about lambda_functor_base<...>::lambda_functor_base() not existing. I know typeof is a gnu extension and it's not really portable to use it in code, but does anyone have any ideas of how to get something like this to work correctly? -jivera

bug in regex 3.31 (boost 1.28)?
by emarkp 19 Aug '02

19 Aug '02

I sent this originally to James Maddock, but realized this is probably a better place to post it. At work we've been testing out regex (nice work BTW) in some of our code, and appear to have found a bug. We ran into it parsing HTML, and I've written a test C++ app to reproduce it. In the program below, the output should be the same for both searches as far as I can tell, but it's not. I don't know if it's some interaction with the quote character or something like that. We attempted to use other quantifiers (after '?', we tried '*', '{0,1}', ["]?) to no avail. I'm confident this is not user error. The extra grouping is annoying (in "goodPatternStr"), but is an acceptable workaround. The strange thing is that a non-capturing group doesn't fix it.

regex performance
by Paul Dubuc 17 Aug '02

17 Aug '02

I'm doing some performance comparisons between Rogue Wave's Regexp class (http://www.roguewave.com/support/docs/tlsref/rwcregexp.cfm) and boost::regex using simple expressions like "^metal.*" and "[0-9]+" with regex_search(). regex is slower by a factor of 6, measuring cpu time (on a SunBlade 100 runing Solaris 8). Is there anything I can do to speed it up? I tried using different values of boost::regbase::flag_type_ to adjust how the regular expressions are interpreted, but with little effect. Any other ideas? (I'm using boost_1_27_0.) Thanks, -- Paul M. Dubuc

request for comment on possible submission to library
by DrXenos 17 Aug '02

17 Aug '02

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a Set Library, similar to Pascal's set type for ordinal types. I want to make sure someone would fine it useful (and not trivial, done-to-death, etc.) before I take the time to "Boostify" it and get a release from my employer. A while ago I needed a set type that was compact, fast, and avoided heap allocation. The number of elements was constant for a particular set type, and the element type could be any integral type (primarily enums). Similar types from STL are set, vector<bool>, and bitset, but none quite suited the application. My set type (Set) stores elements at the bit level, like vector<bool> and bitset, but it allows the creation of compile-time set constants. Also, with a good optimizing compiler, operations on constant sets will be done at compile-time, though as of yet, there is no direct support for guaranteeing this in the code. The class provides the usual set operations. For efficiency, set operations are done in parallel groups of the machine's word size. So, set types whose max. number of elements is less than or equal to the machine's word size, will have most of its operations done in constant time (usually one machine instruction per operation). Sets whose max. number of elements is greater than the machine's word size will be done in linear time, usually in E / Wb cycles, where E is the max. number of elements and Wb is the machine's word size in bits. Though, with a good compile (through inlining and loop unrolling), this linear time would only be E / Wb instructions. On an average 32-bit processor, that's just 8 instructions to perform the union or intersection of a set of 256 elements. Originally, I avoided loops and used metatemplates to inline the operations, but this resulted in very long compile-times without any gains in performance! And sometimes it resulted in worse performance. That will teach me not to try and second guess today's optimizing compilers! As I stated above, the class template may be instantiated with any integral type, but it was primarily meant for enumerations with will give you the added bonuses of type-safely and symbolic names for the elements. The class assumes that the range given is not disjoint (i.e., 0-63 and not 0 - 16, 19, 63). You may use disjoint ranges, but your sets will contain wasted space. The only requirement is that the range of values is greater than or equal to zero, and that the element type has a representation for -1 (used as a (hidden) sentinel in argument lists of elements). You could even conceivably use a class that was "castable" to int. For example: // element type enum Color {red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, NumColors, NilColor = -1}; // type for set of colors typedef Set<Color, NumColors> ColorSet; // set constant const ColorSet rgb = ColorSet::SetOf<red, green, blue>::value(); // this is done at compile-time void foo() { // construction ColorSet s = ColorSet::SetOf<orange, yellow, violet>::value(); // this is done at compile-time ColorSet s1 = ColorSet(a); // this *may* be at compile-time ColorSet s2 = ColorSet(orange, yellow, violet); // this is NOT done at compile-time // (but allows non-constant elements) // operations, some of which *may* be done at compile-time by a smart compiler ColorSet a = s; // assignment ColorSet b = s + rgb; // union ColorSet c = s * rgb; // intersection ColorSet d = s - rgb; // difference ColorSet e = s / rgb; // symmetric difference bool b1 = s == rgb; // equality bool b1 = s != rgb; // unequality bool b3 = s >= rgb; // superset bool b4 = s > rgb; // proper superset bool b5 = s < rgb; // subset bool b6 = s > rgb; // proper subset if (b.contains(red)) // test for set membership std::cout << "b contains the element red" << std::endl; if (red == b) // same as above. can anyone suggest a better operator? // maybe use red -> b and use NULL for false? // or maybe remove and just use b.contains(red)? std::cout << "b contains the element red" << std::endl; } What do you think?

detail/lightweight_mutex.hpp

I'm attempting to go to Boost 1.28 on our HPUX 10.20 boxes. I've run into a problem with an assumption about the type of pthread_mutexattr_t. detail\lwm_pthreads.hpp calls: pthread_mutex_init(&m_, 0); HP's pthread.h (10.20 uses DCE) has that defined as: int pthread_mutex_init (pthread_mutex_t *,pthread_mutexattr_t); after tracing the typedef's down to <dce/cma.h>, I found pthread_mutexattr_t is this: typedef struct CMA_T_HANDLE { cma_t_address field1; short int field2; short int field3; } cma_t_handle; where cma_t_address is a void*. The error message is: .../boost/detail/lwm_pthreads.hpp: In method `boost::detail::lightweight_mutex::lightweight_mutex()': .../boost/detail/lwm_pthreads.hpp:40: conversion from `int' to non-scalar type `CMA_T_HANDLE' requested I'm not sure what solution to use here. Ifdefs are troublesome because it is hard to distinguish between HP 10.x and 11.x, which use different threading models. I don't know a lot about threads on HP, we use ACE so that we don't have to. One thing I do remember is that they conform to a fairly old revision of POSIX. I think attachments are prohibited on this list, so I will append pthread.h and dce/cma.h below.

boost python error catching
by cseymour＠interchange.ubc.ca 15 Aug '02

15 Aug '02

Hi, I have some code that worked fine with Python 2.1, but now in Python 2.2.1 it segfaults mysteriuosly. I've narrowed it down to weirdness with the throw/catch of errors. When I do a throw "boost::python::error_already_set();", the "catch(...)" in my module cpp file is supposed to catch it. But it never gets to there. After it's thrown, Python just segfaults and dies. In Python 2.1 it worked perfectly but not in 2.2.1. Any suggestions?

Boost 1.28 and compile failure in use_count_is_zero class
by david_at_2good 15 Aug '02

15 Aug '02

I am using the free C++Builder Compiler version 5.5.1 for Win32. (http://www.borland.com/products/downloads/download_cbuilder.html) I have used Boost 1.27 without problems, but when compiling the same code with Boost 1.28 I get this error message for the compiler: Error E2113 c:\borland\boost_1_28_0\boost/detail/shared_count.hpp 39: Virtual function 'use_count_is_zero::what() const throw()' conflicts with base class 'exception' The class use_count_is_zero (new in Boost 1.28) inherits from std::exception, and it seems like the method prototype for what() is different in the Borland include files and Boost. Boost: class use_count_is_zero: public std::exception { public: virtual char const * what() const throw() { return "use_count_is_zero"; } }; Borland, who seem to use STL from Rogue Wave Software: class _RWSTDExport exception { public: exception () _RWSTD_THROW_SPEC_NULL { ; } exception (const exception&) _RWSTD_THROW_SPEC_NULL { ; } #if defined(_MSC_VER) && !defined(__BORLANDC__) exception (const char *s) _RWSTD_THROW_SPEC_NULL { ; } #endif exception& operator= (const exception& e) _RWSTD_THROW_SPEC_NULL { return *this; } virtual ~exception () _RWSTD_THROW_SPEC_NULL; virtual const char * what () const _RWSTD_THROW_SPEC_NULL { return __RWSTD::__rw_stdexcept_NoNamedException; } }; The content of _RWSTD_THROW_SPEC_NULL is set in the file stdcomp.h, and it seems like it is empty for the Borland compiler, so I tried to copy the declaration from Borland like below, but got the same error. class use_count_is_zero: public std::exception { public: virtual const char * what () const _RWSTD_THROW_SPEC_NULL { return "use_count_is_zero"; } }; Any suggestions? \David

gcc 2.95.3 vs gcc 3.1.1 vs intel c++ 6.0 with BGL and MTL
by Wintermantel , Marc 15 Aug '02

15 Aug '02

Hi, We are working on a Finite Element Library (FELyX - http://felyx.sourceforge.net <http://felyx.sourceforge.net/> ) that makes intensive use of the Boost Graph Library (BGL) as well as the Matrix Template Library (MTL). Up to now we worked with gcc 2.95.3 on Linux (AMD XP2000+ and P4 2.2GHz). Due to several sources on the internet we heard, that gcc 3.1.1 should be at least as fast as gcc 2.95.3 and the Intel c++ 6.0 should be even quite a bit faster then the other two. We used with all three of them -O3 Optimization, but our results up to now are rather disappointing. For a typical calculation we received the following results: Gcc 2.95.3 3.5 sec Gcc 3.1.1 3.9 sec Intel C++ 6.0 8.2 sec The results were quasi identical on both machines. We also tried a Intel PIII 850MHz in a notebook, and the times just scaled up. Further we looked at BGL, MTL and our own code separately and it came out that every part of the code loses almost equally compared to 2.95.3. Has anybody similar experiences or a hint what we could do wrong?

re: python weirdness

hi, i fixed that problem, by using linux_gcc.mak instead of gcc.mak, though now i'm back to where i was with older Boost, where i'm getting seg faults instead of Python errors. (btw linux_gcc.mak is kind of off: the suggested path for the BOOST macro is incorrect, and where $(BOOST) is used I found actually $(ROOT) should be used)

boost python weirdness - python2.2.1
by cseymour＠interchange.ubc.ca 14 Aug '02

14 Aug '02

hi, I had this extension module for python working fine with older versions of Boost and Python 2.1 but now we've updated to gcc 3 and Python 2.2 and it crashes weirdly, so I decided to try the latest version of Boost. I built the boost python library using /libs/python/build/gcc.mak. Everything seems okay, but when I try to load my library in Python I get: ImportError: ./HDF.so: undefined symbol: do_call__CQ45boost6python6detail4initP7_objectT1 when I check the symbols in my library I have this: U do_call__CQ45boost6python6detail4initP7_objectT1 and a whole lot of things like this: 00199d70 W do_call__CQ45boost6python6detailt24wrapped_function_pointer2ZQ23hdf11HDFVariableZPMQ23hdf7HDFFileFPQ23hdf7HDFFileRCQ35boost6python6stringcRCQ35boost6python5tuple_Q23hdf11HDFVariableP7_objectT1

is this a place for simple usage questions? i am a newbie... i want to use graph to return the set of edges in a cut for an undirected graph... that is, for some subset W of N, i want all e = {i in N, j in N} in E such that i is in W and j is not in W is there something built into graph to do this? or should i just do it manually from the adjacency list? thanks, matt -- Matthew Galati Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA - Operations Research, M.S.

adge properties getting corrupted when removing edge
by Jakub Plichta 13 Aug '02

13 Aug '02

Hello I have encountered the following problem and so far I have not been able to find a workaround. I start with a bidirectional graph with 4 nodes A, B, C and D. There is a integer edge property installed and I have following edges and their respective properties: E1 = C->B; prop[E1] = 0 E2 = D->B; prop[E2] = 1 E3 = B->A; prop[E3] = 0 I am removing edge E3 and immediately after remove_edge the property for E1 is 1 which is wrong. Is this a known issue? I would really appreciate any suggestions. Thanks Jakub Plichta [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Consider the following code: class Publisher { typedef boost::function<void> Function; public: void SetChecker(const Function& Callback){ } }; class Manager { public: Manager(); private: void Check() {} }; Manager::Manager() { Publisher d; d.SetChecker(std::mem_fun(&Manager::Check)); } How can I get this to work? I always get an error when compiling the last line stating "..boost\function\function_template.hpp(127) : error C2660: '()' : Funktion akzeptiert keine 0 Parameter" Ah, the compiler is VisC++ 6.

How to add user's rule to ALL?
by Lev Assinovsky 13 Aug '02

13 Aug '02

Hello folks! I defined my own rule to provide resource compilation. I put invocation of the rule in my Jambase file. But when I run bjam (not jam!) it skipped my rule. I believe that happens because my rule doesn't belong to 'all' list :"exe, lib ..." Should I try to define my rule in the style of EXE or there is more easy way to provide user''s rule invocation in BJAM?

Thanks for the quick reply. That's what I thought. To make things more concrete... std::vector<Landmark> v; ... std::vector<Landmark>::const_iterator iter = std::find_if(v.begin(), v.end(), boost::bind(std::equal<std::string>, boost::bind(ZLandmark::Landmark::getName, _1), name_to_find)); Is what I think you're telling me.

Why does BGL use friend instead of member functions?
by Louis Lavery 11 Aug '02

Hi, It appears, to me, that the boost graph classes use friend functions and apposed to member functions. What are the reasons for this design decision (I like it) and why is the graph passed as the last argument? Thanks, Louis. PS. Great graph - great book.

Bad rules in bjam
by Lev Assinovsky 10 Aug '02

10 Aug '02

Hi folks! I found out that two major rules (from "allyourbase.jam") differ from classic Jam and can't work with full power (with gcc on solaris8-x86 at least). * Thus 'EXE' rule doesn't allow you linking with 3-rd party library (flag LINKFLAGS is ignored). * 'Main' rule skips compilation phase, though it's declared in the same allyourbase.jam: # Main image : source ; link executable from compiled sources Anyone experienced this? P.S. I had to built bjam since distribution doesn't have a pre-built version for solaris8-x86. ---- Lev Assinovsky Aelita Software Corporation O&S Core Division, Programmer ICQ# 165072909 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Regex issue on WIN32
by Rob Reece 09 Aug '02

09 Aug '02

I'm trying to get the regex lib (boost 1.28.0) built on win32 (MSVC v6, stlport 4.5.3). The standard build that is provided with regex appears to work fine and I get the full compliment of regex libraries (debug, static/dynamic, etc.). However, when I attempt to build the credit_card_example file, the link fails with unresolved external symbols. I then added the 13 regex source files to a msdev project along with the credit_card_example source file and linked everything statically (using BOOST_REGEX_STATIC_LINK or whatever it is). That worked fine. So this leads me to believe that something is going on with BOOST_REGEX_DECL macro. I put some #pragma message(...) statements into some headers and determined that the macro is being defined correctly. Is it possible that this macro is missing on some functions/classes or is it more likely a build option or macro issue? The first unresolved symbol I have is boost::re_detail::match_results_base<...>::m_free(...) As I was looking around for that symbol, I discovered in regex.hpp that match_results_base did not have BOOST_REGEX_DECL macro on the class definition. I added it and rebuilt and I ended up with more unresolved symbols. So obviously that isn't the direction to go. I have, however, not been able to find the actual definition of m_free yet (still looking). Thanks -Rob

Graph: Generic access to vertex/edge properties
by Tarjei Knapstad 09 Aug '02

09 Aug '02

Hi. I'm currently trying to implement a generic pattern matching (aka subgraph isomorphism) algorithm for use with the Boost Graph Library. My first-attempt function signature looks like this (comments included for further description of what I'm attempting) //! Seeks to find matches of the graph \a g2 in the graph \a g1. /*! This is called "graph pattern matching", or "subgraph homomorphism/isomorphism". The results are returned in a std::list of std::maps where the maps' key is the node_descriptor in \a g2 and the values are the corresponding node_descriptors in \a g1. The size of the returned list represents the number of matches. If \a properties is true it means that all vertex and edge properties must be equal in both structures for a match to be found. Otherwise, only the graph structure itself will be checked. \sa positioned_pattern_match */ template <class Graph> std::list< std::map<typename graph_traits<Graph>::vertex_descriptor, typename graph_traits<Graph>::vertex_descriptor> > pattern_match(const Graph& g1, const Graph& g2, bool properties = true); For the case where the 'properties' switch is false I have everything I need, but if 'properties' is true I'm a bit unsure on how to proceed. The problem, as I see it, is to do a generic consecutive access of all the properties of the current vertex/edge being checked and see if they're equal in both 'g1' and 'g2'. Could anyone provide me a solution/clue on how to solve this problem in a generic way so that the algorithm can be used for any graph? Regards, -- Tarjei Knapstad

iterator_adaptor and operator-> for input iterators
by Beman Dawes 07 Aug '02

07 Aug '02

I wrote an iterator to do recursive directory iteration. The heart of it is: template< typename Predicate > class recursive_directory_iterator : public boost::iterator_adaptor< boost::shared_ptr< detail::rdi_imp< Predicate > >, detail::rdi_policies, const boost::filesystem::path, const boost::filesystem::path &, const boost::filesystem::path *, std::input_iterator_tag, std::ptrdiff_t > { ... }; Works fine as long as you stay away from operator->. For example, fs::recursive_directory_iterator<pred_type> rdi( dir , dummy ); fs::recursive_directory_iterator<pred_type> rdi_end; for ( ; rdi != rdi_end; ++rdi ) { // std::cout << rdi->generic_path() << std::endl; std::cout << (*rdi).generic_path() << std::endl; } works as expected. But if you uncomment the commented line, the program fails in the call to operator->. What "fails" means depends on the execution environment; whatever is happening seems to confuse the debugger, stepping doesn't shed much light on the problem. Same symptoms with both VC++7 and Intel 6.0. I suppose I'm doing something stupid, but don't have a clue as to what. I notice in iterator_adaptor_test.cpp that operator-> is not actually exercised. Is it possible there is a bug in it for input iterators? I've not had similar problems with iterator_adaptor for bidirectional iterators. Any help appreciated, --Beman

Newbie and his template for comments.
by Kamil Burzynski 07 Aug '02

07 Aug '02

Hello. I'm a C++ developer, who is learning STL recently, and loving it :) I've encountered Boost library, which seems to extending STL funcationality a lot :) I've also created a sampel template for usage in my company, and I would like to get comments about it: is this code ok, exception safe, somebody did it better things like that. In my projects I'm often using structures like map<T1, T2 *>, e.g. map<int, Point *> or map<string, Person*> or something like this. So, often I want to do something like that: map<int, Point *> my_map; map<int, Point *>::iterator it; /* .. */ for( it=my_map.begin();it!=my_map.end();++it ) { it->second->Reset(); //sets x,y to 0,0 } example may be stupid, but shows what I'm trying to explain. To improve it I've created a template (given below), so I ca use it like that: for_each( my_map.begin(), my_map.end(), map_fun( &Point::Reset ) ); Which i think is much better. My template is as follows (style is kept from GCC includes, so it may be not as readable as it could be :) template <class _Ret, class _Tp> class map_fun_t : public unary_function<_Tp*,_Ret> { public: explicit map_fun_t(_Ret (_Tp::*__pf)()) : _M_f(__pf) {} template< class _Mp> _Ret operator()(_Mp &__p) const { return ((__p.second)->*_M_f)(); } private: _Ret (_Tp::*_M_f)(); }; template <class _Ret, class _Tp> inline map_fun_t<_Ret,_Tp> map_fun(_Ret (_Tp::*__f)()) { return map_fun_t<_Ret,_Tp>(__f); } What do you think about it? Has it any flaws? Somebody done it already? Is it usable for anyone except me? :) Thanks in advance. -- Best regards from Kamil Burzynski Senior Design Engineer Advanced Digital Broadcast Poland, LTD. - - "Yes, I'm criminal.

BGL: Problem with parallel edges and filtered_graph
by Michael Kettner 06 Aug '02

06 Aug '02

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Jeremy, I think I discovered a problem concerning filtered_graphs and parallel edges: Assume I have a graph containing two edges E1 and E2 connecting node A and node B. Now I crate a boost::filtered_graph (myFilteredGraph) with a filter that returns true for only E1. When I now try to get E1 by calling edge = boost::edge( A, B, myFilteredGraph ).first; the result is undefined. Looking at the code (filtered_graph.hpp) I found out that the edge is return by: edge(typename filtered_graph<G, EP, VP>::vertex_descriptor u, typename filtered_graph<G, EP, VP>::vertex_descriptor v, const filtered_graph<G, EP, VP>& g) { typename G::edge_descriptor e; bool exists; tie(e, exists) = edge(u, v, g.m_g); return std::make_pair(e, exists && g.m_edge_pred(e)); } Here, the line tie(e, exists) = edge(u, v, g.m_g); returns _some_ edge, but not necessarily the _right_ one. The call edge(...) is not called for the filtered graph and g.m_edge_pred(e) is called _after_ getting the wrong edge (resulting in a return value FALSE). One solution would be to call boost::edge_range(A, B, myFilteredGraph) on my filtered_graph to get all visible edges, but this function is not provided. Any ideas how to solve my problem?

Why stop building with error "Thread support is unavailable!"
by xuejm 06 Aug '02

06 Aug '02

Hi, I installed boost1.28.0 with microsoft visual c++ .NET and regex worked very well, but when I build a very simple example to test boost.thread, it stop building with error "Thread support is unavailable!". I found out that it's because that there's not a pre-define variable defined. Can I define the variable? How can I use boost.thread in my vc++ .net? TIA Phipps Xue

uBLAS Observation: terrible execution speed for prod(matrix,prod(matrix,prod(matrix,matrix)))
by Walter Bowen 05 Aug '02

05 Aug '02

Hi, I am new to uBLAS. I am looking to see if it will be useful for my application (I develop 6-Degrees-of-freedom flight simulations used to analyze avionics systems.) I have benchmarked a few lines of code with RogueWave's Math.h++ (testing for execution speed) and made the following observation. Observation 1) For matrix products of two small (~3-by-3) matrices ( i.e., prod(smallMat1, smallMat2) ) uBLAS executes MUCH FASTER than Math.h++. Observation 2) For matrix produces of two large matrices (100 by 100) uBLAS and Math.h++ give similar execuation speed. Obervation 3) (This is the kicker...) for strung-together matrix products like "Mat1 * Mat2 * Mat3 * Mat4 * Mat5", which I am implementing as "prod(Mat1, prod(Mat2, prod( Mat3, prod(Mat4,Mat5) ) ) ) Math.h++ is MUCH MUCH FASTER than uBLAS. -- by ~2 orders OF MAGNITUDE! I believe that this is a characteristic of the scalability of template expressions. My question is this: Is there a way I an instruct uBLAS not to use template expressions when for strung-together matrix products? Regards, Walt

Problems with mpl::find and std library
by Tanton Gibbs 03 Aug '02

03 Aug '02

I had a problem with using mpl::find and the std::find at the same time. Basically, my compiler, Compaq C++ V6.5-026, notes an ambiguity in find.hpp between the find_if that it uses and the find_if in the STL. I changed the line that reads struct find : find_if< Sequence, same_as<T> > {}; to be struct find : mpl::find_if< Sequence, same_as<T> > {}; and it works fine. I'm not sure if this is a compiler bug or if we need to find other occurences like this one and fix them. Any help is appreciated. Tanton

[BGL] Vertex removal without iterator invalidation?
by Erik Arner 01 Aug '02

01 Aug '02

Yet another question from the BGL newbie... I understand that performing remove_vertex() on graphs with vertexList=vecS will result in invalidated itarors and descriptors for the graph. However, some toy examples i made suggest that if I remove a vertex in such a graph, the vertex descriptors and vertex iterators for vertices with *lower* ID than the removed vertex remain valid after removal, while those for higher ID vertices are invalidated. Is this a true feature of a graph with Vertexlist=vecS, or is my observation a mere coincidence? Is it safe to write code that exploits this "feature"? If it indeed is a feature, I can construct a sorted list of vertices to remove, and remove the vertices in descending order in an easy fashion. If it is not a feature, any suggestions on how to perform this task i.e. removing a list of vertices while keeping the VertexList type vecS? Thanks, Erik

collection container
by Bohdan 01 Aug '02

01 Aug '02

Has boost any plans on creating container, that holds data by pointer, not by value? Rationale: It is impossible to use normally vector<...> for types that do not have copy constructor. Interface of vector< shared_ptr<...> > doesn't seems to be very convenient( for example with std::algorithms ). And most of all it is not good idea to show vector< shared_ptr<...> > interface to user of my lib, that wants to have container::iterator with normal behavior. AFAIK majority of existing libraries have/need such container ? As to me it is strange that neither stl nor boost have such class. I'm missing 'something' and there are important reasons for not doing this ?

Cannot put .o File with Graph Code into .a File
by Adalbert Perbandt 30 Jul '02

30 Jul '02

Hi there, while trying to setup the BGL for use in my environment I'm facing a strange behavior when I try to put a C++ object file which contains instanciations of BGL templates into an object library. My environment: - Sun SPARC machine with Solaris 2.7 (SunOS 5.7) - gcc 2.95.2 The problem shows up when I try to put an .o file into a library file. I can reproduce the error with the file adjacency_list.cpp from the BGL's examples directory: $ pwd /home/perbandt/boost_1_28_0/libs/graph/example $ g++ --version 2.95.2 $ g++ -g -I../../../../boost_1_28_0 -c adjacency_list.cpp $ ls -l adjacency_list.o -rw-r--r-- 1 perbandt relman 3367052 Jul 19 18:40 adjacency_list.o $ which ar /usr/ccs/bin/ar $ ar rv libtest.a adjacency_list.o a - adjacency_list.o Bus error When I try a .a file with already one or more .o files in it I get a segmentation fault. With another file that contains instantiations of BGL templates the problem does appear only when it was compiled with the -g option given. Is this a known problem? Seems to me as if ar would have trouble handling the very long symbol names in the .o file. Or is something wrong with my environment? Thanks, Adalbert Perbandt.

Boost.Lambda - Invoking functors stored in a vector
by Thomas Wenisch 30 Jul '02

30 Jul '02

Hi all, I am storing a set of functors to be invoked in a vector, like this: std::vector< boost::function<void> > functors; At a later time, I would like to invoke each of the functors in the vector. I am trying to do this using Boost.Lambda, to start learning about the Lambda library, but I can't figure out what to write. if I write: std::for_each(functors.begin(), functors.end(), _1); None of the functions are invoked. if I try: for_each(funtors.begin(), functors.end(), _1()); I get compile errors. I suspect this is because the lamda expression is being executed immediately instead of getting passed in to for_each. Everything works fine when I use a separate Invoker function in the usual fashion, like this: void Invoker( boost::function<void> functor) { functor(); } std::for_each(funtors.begin(), functors.end(), Invoker); How can I get the lambda library to invoke each function in the vector? More generally, if the functions were function<void, T>, how could I bind the T parameter in the lambda expression?

Johnsons BGL implementation for undirected graphs correct?
by Jan de Ruiter 29 Jul '02

29 Jul '02

When I use the BGL johnsons_all_pairs_shortest_paths example (source below)on an undirected graph, some results are quite wrong. For example, the output shows that the distance between node 1 and 6 equals 36. The SP however (1-4-5-8-9-6) = 4+4+4+12+2 = 26.

Pass through buffer
by Tom Howard 29 Jul '02

29 Jul '02

Hi, I'm wondering if someone can help me with the pass through buffer (basic_passthrubuf) that is part of more_io. >From what I can understand the pass though buffer passes 1 character at a time to (and from) the underlying stream buffer and I'm wondering what happens with flushes. In the code I'm working on (gzostreambuf which writes to an ostream) I need to know is overflow() is being called because there is no more room in the buffer I'm using or because of an explicit flush. In the later case I need to also flush the compression (Z_SYNC_FLUSH), but doing so all the time will degrade the compression performance plus increase the number of flushes to the underlying stream. This is particularly bad as the underlying stream in my case is a socket stream an the increased flushes breaks up the data into many small packets. Because of the software at the other end of the socket, data must be sent as one message unless it's over 8096 bytes. So basically I only want to flush the underlying stream if the gzostreambuf has been flushed (either by endl or flush). is this possible? My current workaround is to make sure the buffersize of my gzostreambuf is greater than or equal to the buffersize of the underlying stream, but I was hoping there was a neater solution and thats why I was looking at the pass through buffer. >From what I unbderstand, If I use the pass through buffer as part of my gzostreambuf, then flushing will not be passed to the underling streambuf at all. This means that data sent to the stream may be compressed, but result in no output for quite some time later and this sort of latency would be unacceptable in the software I'm working on (client-server multi-agent simulation).

Iterator problem with adjacent_vertices

Hello, I'm currently implementing some algorithms for drawing graphs, using boost::graph. PropertyMaps e.a. are working like a charm, but for my algorithm I need to find the adjacent vertices. Now I've become stuck on the following: typedef boost::adjacency_list < boost::mapS, boost::vecS, boost::undirectedS, VertexProperty, EdgeProperty> Graph; typedef boost::graph_traits<Graph>::vertex_descriptor Vertex; class functor { ... void operator()(Vertex& v) { ... }; }; for_each(adjacent_vertices(u,g).first, adjacent_vertices(u,g).second, functor<Graph>(g)); complains about foo.cc:30: initialization of non-const reference type `Vertex &' foo.cc:30: from rvalue of type `unsigned int' But, when using vertices(g) instead of adjacent_vertices(v,g), the code compiles, and applies functor to each vertex. What am I missing? The documentation is quite thorough, but I'm lost at the moment... EJ

Simply reading the FAQ gives me "The Xalan-C++ release notes includes information about the Xerces-C++ release with which the Xalan-C++ release has been coordinated and tested." and even the Readme says "Xalan-C++ version 1.3 has been tested with Xerces-C++ version 1.6.0. Each Xalan-C++ version 1.3 download includes the Xerces-C++ distribution for the specified platform."

Xerces is ok for xml+namespaces but if you want to use additional facilities (e.g., XPath, XSLT, etc.) you'll have to go to other packages like Xalan. Unfortunately, the Xerces and Xalan projects don't appear to be all that well co-ordinated. Makes it difficult to stay both current and compatible. It sure would be nice to have a "boost-level" C++ library for xml but I'm not sure we could sell the idea that it should be "part of" C++. Hope I'm wrong. schalk_cronje@na i.com To: Boost-Users(a)yahoogroups.com cc: 07/26/2002 10:14 Subject: RE: [Boost-Users] XML AM Please respond to Boost-Users > I'm writing an XML based project right now.

May i recommend providing both the "hello world" grade example, and something more real-world... like that path token iterator you mentioned? --Mark Storer Software Engineer Cardiff Software #include <disclaimer> typedef std::disclaimer<Cardiff> Discard;

AFAICT this is a strong argument in favour of the IA. That's neat, but we already have the permutation adaptor, and I don't think it's really a simple enough example. Beman's example just makes a simple iterator, not an adaptor, and I think that's an important feature for a "hello, world"-type introduction. -Dave ----------------------------------------------------------- David Abrahams * Boost Consulting dave(a)boost-consulting.com * http://www.boost-consulting.com
