MPL ?
by Toon Knapen 01 May '02

01 May '02

Inside a templated class, I need to provide two different implementations for a function based on the compile-time decision ::boost::is_convertible< value_type,double >::value. How can I do this using MPL ? thanks, toon

I believe that the implementation is correct, and that belief is confirmed by the latest documentation in the CVS - T must indeed be a complete type. Another change is the addition of a default constructor, which does not require T to be complete. > I'm writing an article on the smart pointers for the CUJ, and I'd like Cool! ;-) > to know if I can correctly state "The default behavior for > shared_ptr is > to require complete types.

Since shared_ptr requires a complete type only for a few operations, such as the constructor that you mentioned, and reset(T * p), I'd rephrase to something more explicit, like: "The instantiation of a shared_ptr typically requires a complete type. [etc]". Bjorn Karlsson [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

shared_ptr and incomplete types
by Jim Hyslop 01 May '02

01 May '02

The documentation at http://www.boost.org/libs/smart_ptr/shared_ptr.htm states that "T may be void, but in that case, either an explicit delete function must be passed in, or the pointed-to object must have a trivial destructor." I notice that the implementation available at boost.org does not allow the single-argument ctor to be called on an incomplete type, e.g.: class simple; simple * createSimple(); shared_ptr<simple> simpleFactory() { return shared_ptr<simple>(createSimple()); } The documentation on the single-argument ctor, though, does not state that T must be a complete type. Is the implementation stricter than the documentation, or is the documentation incomplete? I'm writing an article on the smart pointers for the CUJ, and I'd like to know if I can correctly state "The default behavior for shared_ptr is to require complete types. You can, however, manage an incomplete type if you provide a function or function object, which will be called when the owned object is destroyed." -- Jim

Graph Library - AllExamples.dsw, anyone got it?
by loopylozzysdad 30 Apr '02

Hi All, Just read the excellent Boost Graph Library book. The AllExamples.dsw file is not on the accompanying CD. In the Errata web page (http://siek.info/bgl.html) it says... "On the accompanying CD, the file \BGL\VC++ Projects\AllExamples.dsw is missing. You can download the missing file from here BGLVCprojects.tgz." The file there is a .dsw file but it is NOT the missing one. Has anyone got the real thing? All the best and thanks - Richard Howells

operator == in shared_ptr
by sashan 30 Apr '02

30 Apr '02

Hi Because the operator== function compares pointers and not what they're pointing to this is what I've had to do to get it to find an integer. Basically I had to wrap the basic int type within another class called Int, as show below. class Int { private: shared_ptr<int> p; public: Int(int i) {p.reset(new int); *p = i;} bool operator==(const Int& r) {return *p.get() == *r.p.get();} ~Int() {}; }; void main() { vector < Int > vec; vec.push_back(Int(1)); vec.push_back(Int(2)); vec.push_back(Int(3)); Int p(4); if (find(vec.begin(), vec.end(), p) == vec.end()) { cout << "Couldn't find it"; } } Is there a better way that doesn't involve 1) having to write a wrapper class around a basic type (or any type) and 2) doesn't involve changing the shared_ptr::operator==.

I am glad you found it useful. > It would be great to have complete STL-like functionality like this. Yep. The only problem with this is that we are going to end up with 3 STL-like libraries within the same language :) (the original one ("run-time"), the MPL one (pure compile time), and something in between, - HSTL (Heterogeneous Sequences Template Library :)). All three with the same algorithms, just written in different notation :). Emily's heterogeneous lists (www.oonumerics.org/tmpw01/winch.pdf, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/alist-feb14-02.zip) 'tuple_ext' components, and MPL's v.2 half-run-time 'for_each' are obviously hanging around that "in between" thing. > Plans on adding this tuple_ext to the CVS ? Some; I think it should be a full-fledged submission that would take the prior art and build a simple framework on it. It's not a large undertaking, though - most of the concepts and some code are already here :). Aleksey

BGL: "Supergraphs?"
by David A. Greene 29 Apr '02

29 Apr '02

Hi, I've been learning the BGL and porting some existing code over to it. First off, Kudos to Jeremy, Lie-Quan and all the BGL developers. This library is great! I find the filtered_graph potentially very useful for my application except for one case. In some (not rare) instances I need to be able to create a filtered_graph that spans two graphs. In other words, I have two separate graphs. Most of the time the information I need is entirely contained in one graph so a filtered_graph works perfectly. However, sometimes I need to create a filtered_graph from several separate graphs and link them together in a well-defined manner (i.e. I easily know where the edges should go). I need a "supergraph" that is the combination of the two filtered graphs. Right now the application handles this problem by creating a new graph from the existing graphs. But this takes time and memory. I'd like to get rid of this overhead if possible, especially since these are often short-lived graphs. The filtered_graph objects would not be induced subgraphs so a subgraph object wouldn't work (subgraph also doesn't support something that spans multiple graphs anyway). What I need is the opposite of subgraph -- a unified interface to multiple filtered_graphs. This seems very hard to do because each filtered_graph will have its own vertex and edge index mappings. An extra level of indirection would solve the problem but I'm not sure the overhead would be less than simply creating a new graph. Thoughts? Opinions? Thanks again for a great library! -Dave -- "Some little people have music in them, but Fats, he was all music, and you know how big he was." -- James P. Johnson

Newbie: problems installing under RedHat 7.2

28 Apr '02

I'm just trying to install Boost library under RedHat 7.2. I was following the build instructions found on the Boost website, but it seemed to fail for several targets. I'm wondering if it's because RH7.2 uses its version of gcc 2.96. Since my project work needs gcc 3.0+, my question is, what do I need to do in order to use gcc3/g++3 instead of gcc/g++? The build system seems exotic and I just want to get over with the installation asap and start to use the library. (does changing /usr/bin/gcc and /usr/bin/g++ links work?) Here is the build command I tried: jam -sBOOST_ROOT=. -sTOOLS="gcc" Errors (selected): ... libs/thread/build/../src/once.cpp: In function `void boost::call_once (void (*) (), once_flag &)': boost/thread/once.hpp:38: previous declaration of `void boost::call_once (void (*) (), once_flag &)' with C++ linkage libs/thread/build/../src/once.cpp:77: conflicts with new declaration ...

It's not exactly a part of MPL (the library doesn't target "run-time" stuff to that extent yet; I hope it will some day), but "tuple extension" components I wrote some time ago (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/tuple_ext/tuple_ext-08-nov-01.zip ) allow one to do exactly these kinds of things: // untested! :) template< typename Seq, typename T, typename BinaryOp > T accumulate(Seq const& s, T const& Init, BinaryOp op) { T result = Init; for_each( begin(s) , end(s) , boost::bind<T>(op, boost::ref(result), _1) ); return result; } With the above, you can do something like this: struct get_value { template< typename T > int operator()(T const& x) const { return x.value(); } }; int sum = accumulate( tuple , 0 , boost::bind(std::plus<int>() , _1 , boost::bind<int>(get_value(),_2) ) ); Hope it's not too complicated :).

iterating over a tuple

Redistributing Boost?
by Duane Murphy 26 Apr '02

26 Apr '02

Boost has a reasonably liberal license for use in product both commercial and non-commercial. However I am wondering about redistributing source code. Does the boost license(s?) allow the sources to be redistributed as part of a commercial product? For example, a commericial library or framework that is developed using boost for underlying support and that library is sold in source code form. What are the legalities of distributing boost in this fashion? ...Duane -- "If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy." - James Madison

boost::thread_specific_ptr problem
by svanechel 26 Apr '02

26 Apr '02

Hi there, I've encountered a curious problem when using thread_specific_ptr. We are developing a Win32 Service and for each thread we need an object that stays alive for as long as the thread runs (except for the main thread). So we created a dll and in its DllMain function we did something like this: boost::thread_specific_ptr<SomeClass> someClass; BOOL WINAPI DllMain( HINSTANCE hinstDLL, DWORD fdwReason, LPVOID lpvReserved ) { switch ( fdwReason ) { case DLL_THREAD_ATTACH: someClass.reset( new SomeClass ); // Breakpoint 1 case DLL_THREAD_DETACH: someClass.reset(); // Breakpoint 2 } } And now comes the curious bit: If you build this dll and implicitly link it with the exe the exe's startup code hangs in GetModuleFileName (). This is the call stack upto that point _setargv (STDARGV.C) __getmainargs (CRTLIB.C) WinMainCRTStartup (CRTEXE.C) At that point the code hasn't reached Breakpoint 1 yet (it's still in the exe's startup code in the main thread and we are not interested in the main thread) It is not the class we are allocating. We tried it with an empty class and that produced the same result. However, if we stored an object in a TLS slot allocated with the API, everything works. It probably has nothing to do with the exe being a service either, since the same dll with linked to a normal exe had the same problems. To complicate matters even further we reached Breakpoint 1 in a number of runs, but as soon as we left DllMain in those instances the application hanged again. If you break then you see from the call stack that the code is running somewhere in NTDll. Are we using thread_specific_ptr in a way that it wasn't meant to be used, or did we encounter a real problem here? I've used thread_specific_ptr before and had no problems then. PS: We develop under Windows 2000 on a Compaq Evo W6000 dual processor machine, using MSVC 6, SP 5 and the 08/2001 version of the platform SDK. The service can run both under the Local System Account or under an account with absolutely no privileges at all. Sven Van Echelpoel

operator== in the shared_ptr class
by sashan 25 Apr '02

25 Apr '02

Hi Why does the operator == function in the shared_ptr class compare the pointer values and not what they are pointing to? I'm trying to use the find function (in the stl) and I don't know how to get around this. Here's an example. vector <shared_ptr <SomeClass> > vecStuff; shared_ptr<SomeClass> pkToFind(new SomeClass(x,y,z)); if (find(vecStuff.begin(), vecStuff.end(), pkToFind) != vecStuff.end()) { } This didn't work as expected because the shared_ptr class's operator== function does not use SomeClass's operator == function to do the comparison. Instead it compares the pointer values. I don't understand why they made it like this and I don't think they were dumb enough to overlook this so there must be something I'm missing.

Building Boost 1.27.0 for VC7

I'd like to build boost for VC7. I've followed several of the threads that detail some of the problems that people has faced and the solutions that have been found. Being the first time that I use boost: -How do I get access to a "free" CVS client that I can use on my machine and some information on how to use it? I'm familiar with SourceSafe on Windows platforms and I'm running Windows 2000 at home, Windows XP in my office. - Is it worth it to build 1.27, or should I wait for a "minor point" (1.27.1??) release or should I download the sources and go from there? It seems that there have been several changes made to 1.27.0 to accomodate VC7. Regards, Javier.

Boost.Threads lib files
by judoka1981 24 Apr '02

24 Apr '02

[Tried sending this through news://gmane.comp.lib.boost.user a few days ago, but it didn't seem to get through anywhere] Hi, I've started experimenting a bit with Boost.Thread, platform is currently WinXP / VC.NET. Just a question on the generated libraries and their names. Wouldn't it be more convenient to put all resulting .lib files in the same directory, and distinguishing between debug/release versions by name, e.g.: libboost_thread.lib // release libboost_thread_d.lib // debug libboost_threadmon.lib // release threadmon ... etc ... and, when the libraries support static linking of the CRT also: libboost_thread_static.lib libboost_thread_static_d.lib As it is now (Boost 1.27.0), it really is a bit awkward to use. Also, why not put all Boost library files in the same directory (e.g. BOOST_ROOT/lib) during build? Sorry if this topic already has been covered, I've been off the Boost lists for some time now. // Johan

RE: [Boost-Users] Linking Problem with GCC

Hi Jeff, o Platform : Win32 (WinXP/2000) o GCC -- mingw port. o Command lines for the compiler and linker, with path names removed for clarity. (Compiling a DLL) Compiling files : C:\gcc -c -DBUILDING_DLL=1 -I. "maindll.cpp" -s -mwindows -ftemplate-depth-30 -IC:\Include\ -IC:\LIBSTD~1 -LC:\Lib\ -BC:\Bin\ -Ic:\BOOST_~1 Linking files : C:\dllwrap --export-all --output-def C:\dll.def --implib "C:\libHminet~1.a" -o c:\Hminet~1.dll "c:\maindll.o" Note that when compiling an exe, the command line uses g++ for both the compile and link steps. I've attached the source for the edge connectivity example in Chapter 8.2 of the text book. The only compiler that doesn't bite it on the attached code (that I've tried) is GCC compiling as an EXE, so I'm sure my problem with compiling a DLL is environment related.

RE: [Boost-Users] Linking Problem with GCC
by Wayne Hartell 16 Apr '02

16 Apr '02

Hi Jeff, I agree that latest problem is possibly an STL/environment problem specifically related to linking a DLL. An exe compiles and links fine. I'm only new to GCC and am using v2.95. I tried updating to the 3.0.4 libraries but that didn't seem to help any. Anyway, I only got into this bind because VC7 and VC6 both run into Internal Compiler Errors when trying to compile (only a select part) of the BGL. I got a work around from Microsoft for one compiler bug, made a fix to the BGL code to get past another, then hit yet another internal compiler error. Where does all this happen? Specifically with examples from the BGL text book including the edge connectivity example in section 8.2. I don't blame the BGL for the bugs in the VC compilers and I guess the remainder of my woes are most likely attributable to my inexperience with the other compilers/environments. It seems, however, that for the code I am tryng to compile atleast, that there is a hurdle at every corner! I'm scared that even if I do get something going Ok, the second I use a new template I'll be in uncharted territory again. Unfortunately I can't afford this kind of risk on a fast track project. Maybe when I have more time, I'll come back to the BGL and try again. Thank you for your kind response. Wayne. -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Garland [mailto:jeff@crystalclearsoftware.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 16, 2002 4:17 PM To: Boost-Users(a)yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [Boost-Users] Linking Problem with GCC > Hi Jim, > > Yep its boost (BGL - graph) related.

Sure, I've compiled earlier versions of BGL with GCC (of course this proves little since we might have been using different parts). According to the compiler status page the graph test also works under BCC and VC6SP5. http://www.boost.org/status/cs-win32.html Which again doesn't prove much since we don't know the difference in what you are doing from the graph test does. From your previous mail the GCC problems doesn't seem to be a boost problem at all: :\data\software\code\controlled\snowbird\support\hminetworkservices\net worklib\maindll.o(.text$_S_oom_malloc__t23__malloc_alloc_template1i0Ui+0 x1a)://c/data/software/code/controlled/snowbird/support/hminetworkservic es/networklib/maindll.cpp: undefined reference to `endl(ostream &)' c:\data\software\code\controlled\snowbird\support\hminetworkservices\net worklib\maindll.o(.text$_S_oom_malloc__t23__malloc_alloc_template1i0Ui+0 x27)://c/data/software/code/controlled/snowbird/support/hminetworkservic es/networklib/maindll.cpp: undefined reference to `cerr' This looks to be an environment issue because it is complaining about not being able to find standard library components: cerr and endl.

Regd Boost Graph Library Graphviz interface library...

16 Apr '02

Hi, On two seperate Solaris 8 multi-processor machines (with sufficient RAM and swap space), the final archive command to create the library for reading/writing the dot format crashes with a segmentation fault: OBJS = graphviz_graph_lex.o graphviz_digraph_lex.o graphviz_digraph_parser.o graphviz_graph_parser.o libbgl-viz.a: $(OBJS) $(AR) -rc libbgl-viz.a $(OBJS) When I ran the 'ar -rc ..' command again prefixed with the 'truss' command, it crashed soon after loading the last .o file. Oddly enough, the archive command worked on a multi-processor Linux machine... Any diagnostics as to why the archive command doesn't work on the Solaris machines? Regards Rajesh

VDB
by Martijn W. van der Lee 15 Apr '02

15 Apr '02

Hi, I've created a small framework I dubbed Virtual DataBase (VDB) which is in actuality a set of three classes which handle tables of data. table<DataT> Manages a random number of records of type DataT, including all memory management. view<DataT> Manages a sorted and/or filtered view of the records in a table. The filter and sort algorithms are supplied through functions or functors and is quite fast (though there's still room for improvement). tracker<DataT> Tracks a single record in a table. If the record is deleted, the tracker becomes invalid. That's basically it. It's built to be generic, simple and reusable. What are the chances of such a framework finding a place in the large Boost library? Currently everything seems to be working based on simple testcases but I'm still working on creating detailed testcases (using my own "Testkit" framework). regards, Martijn van der Lee

There is bug in bind1st.cpp example for boost::function library. I'm using VC6SP5 and when I was trying to compile this example I got error === bind1st.cpp D:\src\boost\1.27\libs\function\example\bind1st.cpp(34) : error C2784: 'class std::mem_fun_t<_R,_Ty> __cdecl std::mem_fun(_R (__thiscall _Ty::*)(void))' : could not deduce template argument for '<Unknown>' from 'int (__thiscall X::*)(int)' Error executing cl.exe. === My first thought was that VC6 not enought standard conformant to compile it. But after some inquiry I found that line 35 f = std::bind1st(std::mem_fun(&X::foo), &x); should be f = std::bind1st(std::mem_fun1(&X::foo), &x); May be this is quite obvious, but examples shouldn't have errors.

Compiling Boost in VC++ .Net
by Wayne Hartell 12 Apr '02

12 Apr '02

Hello Boost Users, I am a newbie to the Boost Graph library and am trying to come up to speed with the use of the library as quickly as I can. Last week I thought that one of the best ways to do this would be to work through some of the example code in the Boost User Guide and Reference Manual but I was disappointed to find out that the moment I included some boost header files in my VC++ .Net project that I ran into a C1001 FATAL COMPILER ERROR. This problem doesn't occur in VC6 nor does it occur in the Borland 5.5 C++ compiler, however, my current project dictates that I use the VC++ .Net compiler. Before jumping on to this list with a posting I searched the archive and noticed that a previous posting had been lodged with the same compiler error. To cut a long story short I have been in touch with Microsoft Technical support (who were extremely helpful) and they have confirmed my issue (and that of the previous posting) to be a bug in the VC++ .Net compiler. Microsoft also gave me a work around for the problem so the main purpose of this posting is to make public the work around in order to use the BGL with the VC++ .Net compiler. As I am new to the BGL if anyone has any comments on the validity of the work around provided by Microsoft I would be grateful to hear them.

Thanks for the response. Because this pattern involves a condition.wait() followed by select(), I believe that only the leader should be able to set the predicate to NO_CURRENT_LEADER. Otherwise there is the [very unlikely] danger that a spurious wake up on the condition could result a second thread attempting to process the same handle/event before the first thread could deactivate it. Although I can wait until all the housekeeping for the select() has been done before unguarding the condition and continue with processing the event, that's a little more synchronous than I care for given that a simple comparison against a thread id allows me to unguard the condition much earlier. Actually, for now, that's EXACTLY what I'm going to do. Probably good enough anyway. ;) Thanks again for the response and for the info on Bill Kempf's intent to provide portable thread_id s.

Streamed input for rational, badbit vs failbit
by aj_dicks 10 Apr '02

10 Apr '02

Is there an error in the declaration of template <typename IntType> std::istream& operator>> (std::istream& is, rational<IntType>& r) in boost.hpp? The lines if (c != '/') is.clear(std::istream::badbit); appear in the function definition, as the format is num/den, so we expect a slash character. However, is setting the stream to bad correct? Shouldn't it be failbit instead? The standard states that badbit indicates a loss of integrity in an input or output sequence (such as an irrecoverable read error from a file); failbit indicates that an input operation failed to read the expected characters, or that an output operation failed to generate the desired characters. Also, to cite precedence from the standard, it stipulates that the std::complex type's extraction operator should call is.setstate(ios::failbit) if bad input is found. What is confusing, however, is that Stroustrup's example input operation for complex sets badbit (section 21.3.5 in the third edition of his bible). So who is right out of: me, rational.hpp, the C++ standard, Stroustrup? Is it more than two of these, and if so, where is my misunderstanding?

Re: [Boost-Users] Re: Newbie needs pointer to currently executing thread.
by dick.bridges＠tais.com 10 Apr '02

10 Apr '02

I'm implementing the Leader/Followers thread pool pattern - reference "Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture Volume 2" (Schmidt, et al). When a thread is released via notify_one(), it is [assumed to be] in the "leader" role and stores it's id. A sanity check should be performed to verify that there is no other thread in the leader role (i.e., current_leader is "none") before the thread stores it's id there. When one of the event sources is signaled and the leader is unblocked, it must, among other tasks, demote itself (i.e., set the current_leader value to "none") and promote one of the followers by notify_one() before continuing to service the request. Because of the potential for race conditions, (especially in the context of future program updates, modifications, etc.) I should enforce the rule that only the leader can promote a follower. Something along the lines of: current_leader == Thread::this().

Dick, In general, condition variables (both the Boost.Threads version and the POSIX version) don't tell the "notifier" which thread woke up. That's not necessarily a problem, though. A thread pool usually implies a set of threads that are equivalent in some way, even running the same thread function. Referring to the example at: http://www.boost.org/libs/thread/doc/condition.html#Example, Take a look the the receive() function. while (buffered == 0) buffer_not_empty.wait(lk); You might have three threads which reach this point when buffered==0 (meaning the buffer is empty). When a new sender in a fourth thread adds something to the buffer and calls notify_one(), exactly one of the three threads waiting on the condition will wake up and do some work. You won't care which thread wakes up, because any one of them will be prepared to do the necessary work. If this doesn't get you unstuck, please post more details, in particular why you feel it is important to know which thread "woke up" Regards, Dave Info: <http://www.boost.org> Wiki: <http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl> Unsubscribe: <mailto:boost-users-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com> Your use of Yahoo!

Problem with File Dependency Example
by Martin Sander 10 Apr '02

10 Apr '02

Hi! (I'm a newbie to boost and English is not my native language) I changed the examples/file_dependencies.cpp from boost 1.0.27 a little bit and I think the output is wrong. The changed File is at http://www.ebx.de/qqq.cpp (just files_e, name and used_by are changed). The program printed "FF" and "GG" with the same time_slot, but they have an "Edge". With "#if 0" instead of "#if 1" on line 106 the result get even worse, "DD" has a lower time_slot than "GG", but "GG" depends on "DD". What is wrong? My code? Did I misuse the example? M.

Detect derivation from e.g. addable
by whastingsnj 10 Apr '02

10 Apr '02

Is there a way to detect that a class has been derived from boost::addable<T>, for example? I would like to be able to write something like this: template <typename T> void foo() { //if T derived from boost::addable<T,...> // . . . } The problem, of course, is the base class chaining feature. I do not see how to use boost::is_base_and_derived in this case.

Tokenizer
by macrodisk 05 Apr '02

05 Apr '02

I have a question about boost::tokenizer. I have a Semicolon separated string, something like: "All;;;;;;Bus;;;;;;BRT;;;;;;All" When I use boost tokenizer, I get "All", "Bus", "BRT",and "All". I want to get the the empty string between the semicolons, seems like the tokenizer takes consecutive semicolons as a single token; is there any way I can change this to represent different strings? boost::char_separator<char> sep(";"); typedef boost::tokenizer<boost::char_separator<char> > tokenizer; tokenizer Id_tokens(IdString, sep); for(tokenizer::iterator Id_tok_iter= Id_tokens.begin(), End_Id_tok_iter = Id_tokens.end(); Id_tok_Iter != End_Id_tok_iter) { //Do Something } Another question, is there some way to assign a different string once a tokenizer is constructed? tokenizer Id_tokens(IdString,sep); Id_tokens.assign(NewString,sep); //Is this possible with the boost tokenizer? I couldn't find any examples to this end in the places I searched. Thank you, Vijay

Non-scoped mutex's with Boost.Threads
by Dale Peakall 02 Apr '02

02 Apr '02

I believe it is possible to use Boost.Threads mutexes without the need to use a scoped_lock style guard. I vaguely recall it being something to do with a mutex_traits class or something (but I can't find any documentation). Can anyone help me out. Thanks. - Dale.

suggestion: harness destructor in scoped_ptr<>::reset
by jlehrer 02 Apr '02

02 Apr '02

Before I propose this to main boost mailing list, I wanted to see what others thought of this idea. I propose changing the following method on scoped_ptr<>: void reset(T* p=0) {if(ptr!=p) {checked_delete(ptr); ptr=p;}} to void reset(T* p=0) {if(ptr!=p) {scoped_ptr<T>(p).swap(*this);}} void swap(scoped_ptr<T>& other) {std::swap(ptr,other.ptr);} Of course, we would then have global methods for std::swap, as there are for the other smart pointers, to map to this method. Finally, the same change should be made to scoped_array<>. shared_ptr<> and shared_array<> already have these semantics. The idea is to harness the destructor of the scoped_ptr in order to delete the pointer, rather than calling checked_delete in two places. This has a few advantages over the old code: 1- destruction is handled in one place, the destructor. This seems natural, and gives developers one place to look to see what happens when a pointer is deleted 2- I have had occasion to specialize the destructor of the scoped_ptr<> class to do something other than delete. In that case, I needed to specialize the destructor AND the reset method. With this change, one would only need to specialize the destructor and reset would harness that specialization as well. Comments?

How to build boost to get proper boost::regex configuration?
by rnicz 01 Apr '02

01 Apr '02

I've build boost on Windows NT4.0 with following settings: JAM_TOOLSET=VISUALC TOOLS=msvc and until now everything works fine. But when I tried to use boost::regex library I found that I got wrong libraries: I got libboost_regex.lib in four directories: 1) libs\regex\build\bin\libboost_regex.dll\msvc\debug 2) libs\regex\build\bin\libboost_regex.dll\msvc\release 3) libs\regex\build\bin\libboost_regex.lib\msvc\debug\runtime-link- dynamic 4) libs\regex\build\bin\libboost_regex.lib\msvc\debug\runtime-link- dynamic but now when I try to use boost::regex library file regex_library_include.hpp forecs linking against library with name like vc6-re300l.lib. Is there a way to get proper libraries when boost is built or to force compiler to use libboost_regex.lib during linking? Thank you in advance. Best regards Ryszard Niewisiewicz

Unable to compile boost_1_27_0 with Visual C++ .net - MORE...
by deep_thought_or_not 31 Mar '02

31 Mar '02

BTW I also had to update the Jamrules for msvc, such that I had to change the prog names "cl", "link" to "cl.exe" and "link.exe" respectively. For some reason, I have to specify the extension to run a program. Does not work without it. I am NOT doing this through a cygwin shell.

The boost/integer_traits.hpp file spit out the error "No WCHAR_MIN and WCHAR_MAX present, please adjust integer_traits<> for your compiler." when I tried to compile the graph library regression test suite. I suspect the AmigaOS port of GCC 2.95.3 has turned off intrinsic wchar_t for some reason.

boost 1.27.0, type_traits, and CVS
by David B. Held 27 Mar '02

27 Mar '02

I just downloaded the latest version on the web site. I've never really used CVS before, but I tried to grab what appeared to be all the relevant files for type_traits. Now, when I try to use boost::function, I get all this: /usr/local/include/boost/function/function_base.hpp:151: parse error before `>' token /usr/local/include/boost/function/function_base.hpp:153: template argument 1 is invalid /usr/local/include/boost/function/function_base.hpp:153: `type' is not a class or namespace /usr/local/include/boost/function/function_base.hpp:153: ISO C++ forbids declaration of `type' with no type Which points to a line that contains is_stateless<>, which I assume is part of type_traits. So, could someone, in simple terms that a 5-year-old could understand, tell me how to get the latest version of type_traits from CVS? Do I actually need to download CVS software, or can I do it all through the web interface? Thanks. Dave [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

location of jam executable
by obhiee 27 Mar '02

27 Mar '02

hi, i d/l'ed the 1_27_0 and have successfully built the jam executable. i went through the documentation for build but am still unclear as to the location from where jam should be run. do i just copy jam into the top level directory where the files were extracted to and run it from there after setting BOOST_ROOT? some posts in this list conveyed the impression that it should be run from within the source library for each library. i find that confusing. isn't it the intent(?) of jam to be able to build the code wherever it may be located provided that the appropriate entry has been made into BOOST_BUILD_PATH/BOOST_ROOT? i apologize since this post is probably somewhat off-topic. sincerely, abhishek.

Iterator Adaptor?
by David Brownell 27 Mar '02

27 Mar '02

I have a hunch that this has been asked before, but I can't seem to find the answer. I have a struct similar to: struct MyStruct { int i; char c; }; And a functor similar to: struct MyFunctor { void operator()(int i) { //Do something with i } }; Given a container of MyStruct objects, how can I use iterator_adaptor to use MyStruct::i with MyFunctor? Something like: std::vector<MyStruct> v; std::for_each(v.begin(), v.end(), MyFunctor()); I have overridden the dereference method in default_iterator_policies to return the integer, but am at a bit of a loss where to go from here. Am I on the right track? TIA for your help! David Brownell

I once again cvs-updated my copy of the Boost sources and tried to build them on a gcc 3.0.4 Linux machine -- without success. The complete output of the targets that failed to build lays at: http://cryp.to/boost-build-log.txt I would be really nice if someone could help me getting this build to work.

AmigaOS port of Boost 1.27.0

I've started porting Boost 1.27.0 to AmigaOS for use in a project of mine and I have a few additions and diffs to contribute.

BOOST_NO_SWPRINTF defined for VC++ 6.0
by Edward Diener 23 Mar '02

23 Mar '02

Why is BOOST_NO_SWPRINTF defined for VC++ 6.0 in the config\compiler\visualc.hpp ? There most certainly is a swprintf in the header files. Is there something wrong with it in VC6 ? If I can't use it in some Boost code which I am modifying slightly for my own purpose, is there something else I can use ?

Why does lexical_cast make a copy?
by Daniel T. 23 Mar '02

23 Mar '02

I noticed that the function declaration of lexical_cast is: template<typename Target, typename Source> Target lexical_cast(Source arg) Namely that arg is a copy of the original source. Is there a specific reason that a copy is made? Why isn't it a 'const Source&' instead? --

Hi, I downloaded the boost threads, and I can't get it to work on Mac OS Classic 9.1. Does the threads only work in Mac OS X or should it work here in Mac OS Classic (with Carbon)? Best Regards -- Emil Edeholt

A error in regex_grep_example_3.cpp
by rogerleee 21 Mar '02

21 Mar '02

Hi, there: regex_grep_example_3.cpp is the example source file in the boost/regex library. I find a bug at line 92 : boost::regex_grep(std::bind1st(std::mem_fun (&class_index::grep_callback), this), start, end, expression); where "mem_fun" should be "mem_fun1". ps:I use MSVC6.0 on Micro$oft win2k.

Task groups using boost::thread
by gunnarnl 20 Mar '02

20 Mar '02

After overcoming my initial problems with compiling I have another question. I like very much the thread_group concept. My idea is to create different groups running different type of tasks. E.g. one group deals with user request tasks and another deal with responses from a mainframe etc. In addition, I think it would be good to be able to maximize the number of threads running concurrently in a single group. In this way one could tune the processes regarding to the number of CPUs and so that not one single group gets more CPU usage than others etc. I guess I'm not the first one to think about these things. Does anyone have any ideas about these type of task groups? Although it doesn't nearly contain what I want to do, I got the following test work nicely. #include <boost/thread/thread.hpp> #include <boost/thread/xtime.hpp> #include <iostream> #include <windows.h> template<class T> class thread_task { public: thread_task(T* obj) : m_obj(obj) { assert(m_obj != 0); } virtual ~thread_task() { } void operator() () { m_obj->setup(); m_obj->run(); m_obj->cleanup(); delete m_obj; } private: T* m_obj; }; class my_task { public: my_task() {} void setup() { std::cout << "setup " << GetCurrentThreadId() << std::endl; } void run() { std::cout << "Start sleeping in thread " << GetCurrentThreadId() << std::endl; boost::xtime xt; boost::xtime_get(&xt, boost::TIME_UTC); xt.sec += 1; boost::thread::sleep(xt); std::cout << "Woke up " << GetCurrentThreadId() << std::endl; } void cleanup() { std::cout << "cleanup " << GetCurrentThreadId() << std::endl; } }; int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { boost::thread_group threads; int i; for (i = 0; i < 10; ++i) { my_task* aTask = new my_task(); thread_task<my_task> new_task(aTask); threads.create_thread(new_task); } threads.join_all(); return 0; } By the way, is there an operation in boost::thread to get the current thread id?

I've created a windows console project with VC++ 6.0 and just used one of the examples in the documentation. I've also added the BOOST_HAS_THREADS macro in the settings.

BFS-visitor with gcc3.0.1
by Wintermantel , Marc 20 Mar '02

Hello, I tried to complile the following code that worked under gcc 2.95.3 under gcc 3.0.1 and got tons of error messages: typedef adjacency_list< setS, vecS, undirectedS, property< vertex_color_t, default_color_type, property< vertex_degree_t, int, property< vertex_current_degree_t, int, property< vertex_priority_t, int > > > > > Graph; ... std::vector<graph_traits<Graph>::vertices_size_type> dist(num_vertices(G), 0); breadth_first_search (G, e, visitor ( make_bfs_visitor(record_distances(dist.begin(), on_tree_edge() ) ) ) ); ... The errors have something to deal with the visitors, more I could not read out of the errors. When I use a simple array in the form int d[n] it works.

Still can't build boost on Linux with gcc 3.0.4
by Peter Simons 19 Mar '02

19 Mar '02

Hi, thanks to some helpful subscriber of this list, I figured out how to tell the Boost Build System where my Python is: I thus initiated the build by calling jam -sPYTHON_ROOT=/usr/local/python -sPYTHON_VERSION=2.2 \ -sBOOST_ROOT=/home/simons/projects/boost-current -sTOOLS=gcc but I am still getting lots of errors when trying to compile the latest version. A complete log of the failing build is available at http://cryp.to/boost-build-log.txt for anyone concerned. I'd appreciate any help on getting these errors fixed! -peter

Request for reviewers for a book about Boost
by Björn Karlsson 18 Mar '02

18 Mar '02

Dear Boosters, I am currently working on "Beyond The C++ Standard Library - An Introduction to Boost", which is a tutorial-style book about several of the Boost libraries. Where would one seek knowledgeable reviewers? Of course, it is here, and that's the reason for this note. Before saying more, I would like to ask that responses be sent directly to me rather than to the list. The moderators have allowed this note, but this is not intended to become a discussion. Should I receive notes of public interest, I'll post those to the list. Also, for those that are subscribing to both Boost (developers) and Boost-Users, my apologies for cross-posting. Onwards! The book will cover the following libraries (minor modifications to this list may occur): * Any * Array * Bind * Call_traits * Compose * Concept check * Conversion * Functional * Operators * Random * Rational * Regex * Smart_ptr * Static_assert * Tokenizer * Tuple * Type_traits * Utility I am looking for people interested in reviewing one or more chapter(s) (libraries). If you are volunteering, please add information that states the library, or libraries, that you'd be willing to review. Where one reviewer will have a deep knowledge about the libraries, another may only have a strong interest. Both are very welcome! What's in it for you? Not money I'm afraid, but something that is hopefully more valuable: A chance to make the book better, to share some of your knowledge, and maybe to learn something new. Your name in the preface :-). To volunteer, send a comment or ask a question, please contact me directly at bjorn.karlsson(a)readsoft.com. Thanks! Before I end this post: Boost is becoming more and more important for the C++ community, and I would like to thank all participating Boosters for the libraries, the ideas, the research, the discussions and the enthusiasm that sums up to what we call Boost. All of this not only makes the world a better place, it also (which I personally think is more important) makes the world more interesting! Thanks, Bjorn Karlsson [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

(there's a good chance the compiler error you are getting is a >bug in your compiler, not in your code or in the Boost code). Hi Jeremy, Thanks for the reply. Yes, I think it is the compiler too. I am using the Borland C++ Builder compiler 5.5 (the free command line compiler Borland made available a while ago). I am not sure yet I am not making a mistake, because I would expect this to be a popular compiler and simple things like this to have been found by now. All it takes to use the iterator adaptor libraries is including the header files, right? Thanks, Rodrigo _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

regex expression core dumps with \\
by soleani 17 Mar '02

17 Mar '02

Hi there, I've been using regex++ (v 3) for a while now. It's great! I just found out that my regex core dumps my program, look: std::string StringUtilities::getMsqlEscapedString( const char* input ) { if ( input == NULL ) return ""; cerr << "Hello" << endl; std::string inputStr( input ); cerr << "Hello111 (" << inputStr << ")" << endl; static const boost::regex expression1( "\\" ); cerr << "Hello222" << endl; string temp = boost::regex_merge( inputStr, expression1, "\\\\" ); cerr << "Hello33" << endl; static const boost::regex expression2( "'" ); return boost::regex_merge( temp, expression2, "\\'" ); } // StringUtilities::getMsqlEscapedString That's all I have. When I call it I see this: Testing getMsqlEscapedString... Hello Hello111 (hello) Aborted (core dumped) So, it seems that the call to: static const boost::regex expression1( "\\" ); makes it core dump. I went and changed that regular expression by "\"", just for kicks, and it works; it doesn't do what I want but it doesn't core dump. Anything I should do to avoid this problem? thanks, -Anibal

Error with boost::regex library with Borland C++ Builder 6

Hi, I tried everything to understand why I get the error "Abnormal program termination" in the second run of the function with the following code: void function() { regex e( std::string(Edit1->Text.c_str()) ); cmatch what; string response; TFileStream* file = new TFileStream( "1.htm", fmOpenRead ); response.resize(file->Size+1); file->Read(response.begin(), file->Size); response[file->Size] = 0; delete file; std::string::const_iterator start; start = response.begin(); while( regex_search( start, what, e ) ) { for ( unsigned int i = 0 ; i < what.size() ; i++ ) { { std::string result = std::string(what[i].first, what[i].second); Memo1->Lines->Add( result.c_str() ); } Memo1->Lines->Add(""); start = what[0].second; } } Thanks

Does filter_iterator work for maps?
by rodrigo_braz 16 Mar '02

16 Mar '02

Hi, I don't see a reason for filter_iterator not to work with map iterators. However, the program below doesn't work. I get a compiler error "Cannot generate template specialization from 'make_filter_iterator<Predicate,Iterator> (Iterator,Iterator,const Predicate &)' in function main()" Any ideas? Thanks, Rodrigo #include <map> #include <ostream> #include "boost/iterator_adaptors.hpp" #include <algorithm> using namespace std; using namespace boost; struct pair_is_active { bool operator()(const pair<const size_t,float>& p) { return 0 < p.second; } }; ostream& operator<<(ostream& o, pair<const size_t, float> p) { return o << "(" << p.first << ", " << p.second << ")"; } int main() { map<size_t,float> m; m[0] = 10; m[1] = 15; m[2] = 0; m[3] = 13; copy(boost::make_filter_iterator<pair_is_active>(m.begin, m.end()), boost::make_filter_iterator<pair_is_active>(m.end(), m.end()), ostream_iterator<pair<const size_t,float> >(cout,",")); return 0; }

boost newbie questions
by Harm de Laat 15 Mar '02

15 Mar '02

Hi all, I'm new to Boost and relativily new to C++. I'm trying to program threads on my Redhat 7.2 linux. I have the following code: #include <iostream> #include <boost/thread/thread.hpp> #include <boost/thread/xtime.hpp> struct thread_struct { thread_struct(int secs) : m_secs(secs) {} void operator ()() { boost::xtime xt; boost::xtime_get(&xt, boost::TIME_UTC); xt.sec += m_secs; boost::thread::sleep(xt); std::cout << "Boosted!!!" << std::endl; } int m_secs; }; int main (int argc, char* argv[]) { int secs = 5; std::cout << "Starting..." << std::endl; thread_struct ts(secs); boost::thread thrd(ts); thrd.join(); } The code compiles without any problems... But do I have link it against some library? Because I cannot link it to an executable file. I'm new to this. So can somebody please be so kind to help me and describe the steps nessecary to run this Thread example file... Many Thanks, Harm de Laat Informatiefabriek The Netherlands
