[boost] Reminder! Boost.Local Review officially ends Saturday, Nov 19, 2011
by Jeffrey Lee Hellrung, Jr. 18 Nov '11

18 Nov '11

Just a friendly reminder that the ongoing Boost.Local review is officially set to end tomorrow (Saturday), Nov 19, 2011. Please let me know if you plan on reviewing the library but need more time, possibly into early next week, and I'll either formally extend the review period (subject to the Review Wizards' approval) or simply informally allow late submissions. Copied below is the original review announcement: ---------------- Hi all, It is time! The review of Lorenzo Caminiti's proposed Boost.Local library begins tomorrow, ***November 10, 2011***, and ends on ***November 19, 2011***. Boost.Local implements local functions, local blocks, and local exits for the C++ programming language. It allows one to define a function at any declarative scope, including function scope; bind variables from the enclosing scope; and pass this function to templated STL-style algorithms. Please see the Introduction of the documentation for a longer but still brief overview. -------- The code and documentation are available from the Boost sandbox ( https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/) https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/local/ [everything] https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/local/boost/ [code] https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/local/libs/local/doc/html/index.htm… -------- Please state clearly whether you think this library should be accepted as a Boost library. Other questions you may want to consider: - What is your evaluation of the design? - What is your evaluation of the implementation? - What is your evaluation of the documentation? - What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library? - Did you try to use the library? With what compiler? Did you have any problems? - How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A quick reading? In-depth study? - Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain? Please also consider the following issues and proposals specific to Boost.Local. Your opinion is welcome on any or all of these. - Boost.Local's local exits provide the same functionality (and then some) as Boost.ScopeExit. Does this duplication of functionality need to be dealt with, and if so, how? - Lorenzo is proposing to add boost::local::function:: overload to Boost.Function as boost::function::overload. See https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/local/libs/local/doc/html/boost/loc… - Lorenzo is proposing to add BOOST_IDENTITY_TYPE to boost/utility. See https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/local/libs/local/doc/html/BOOST_IDE… - Likewise, Lorenzo is proposing to add BOOST_IDENTITY_VALUE to boost/utility. See https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/local/libs/local/doc/html/BOOST_IDE… -------- Lastly, please note that Boost.Local has included a copy of the Variadic Macro Data (VMD) library in boost/detail/preprocessor/variadic_macro_data. Since then, VMD has been modified and integrated into Boost.Preprocessor. After the review has concluded, Lorenzo will remove this local copy of the VMD library and replace its usage within Boost.Local with the Boost.Preprocessor variadic extensions. -------- Thanks in advance to all who participate in the review discussion; I'm looking forward to it! - Jeffrey Hellrung (Review Manager) - Gregory Crosswhite (Review Assistant)

automatic conversion between boost::container::string and std::string
by Yi Ding 18 Nov '11

18 Nov '11

Hi, Thanks for the new containers library. There's a lot of useful stuff in there. I was wondering: is it possible to do automatic conversion between boost::container::string and std::string? A lot of libraries currently use std::string. Thanks, Yi

[MPI] request::test() crashes or returns garbage
by Patrik Jonsson 18 Nov '11

18 Nov '11

Hi, I'm having some problem with nonblocking p2p communications. This is with boost 1.47 and openmpi-1.5.3 compiled with icpc 12.0.3. Here's an example that exhibits the problem: #include <boost/mpi.hpp> #include <iostream> #include <vector> using namespace boost::mpi; using namespace std; int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { environment env(argc, argv); communicator world; vector<request> handshake_reqs_; for(int i=0; i<world.size(); ++i) { if(i!=world.rank()) { printf("Task %d posting recv from %d\n",world.rank(), i); handshake_reqs_.push_back(world.irecv(i, 13)); printf("Task %d sending to %d\n",world.rank(), i); world.isend(i, 13); } } for(int i=0; i<handshake_reqs_.size(); ++i) { boost::optional<status> s=handshake_reqs_[i].test(); if(s.is_initialized()) { const int source_task = s.get().source(); const int tag = s.get().tag(); printf("Task %d received message tag %d from task %d\n",world.rank(), tag, source_task);cout.flush(); } } } So, essentially, all tasks send a message with tag 13 to all other tasks, who have posted nonblocking receives for such a message. The output from this program is something like: [pjonsson@sunrise03 ~]$ mpirun -np 3 ./a.outTask 0 posting recv from 1 Task 0 sending to 1 Task 1 posting recv from 0 Task 1 sending to 0 Task 1 posting recv from 2 Task 0 posting recv from 2 Task 0 sending to 2 Task 1 sending to 2 Task 1 received message tag 0 from task 0 [sunrise03:06504] *** Process received signal *** [sunrise03:06504] Signal: Segmentation fault (11) [sunrise03:06504] Signal code: Address not mapped (1) [sunrise03:06504] Failing at address: 0x100000037 Task 2 posting recv from 0 Task 2 sending to 0 Task 2 posting recv from 1 Task 0 received message tag 1 from task 0 [sunrise03:06504] [ 0] /lib64/libpthread.so.0 [0x3d6c20eb10] [sunrise03:06504] [ 1] /n/home00/pjonsson/lib/libboost_mpi.so.1.47.0(_ZN5boost3mpi7request4testEv+0xc) [0x2b2fe9863a3c] [sunrise03:06504] [ 2] ./a.out(main+0x35d) [0x40ab37] [sunrise03:06504] [ 3] /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4) [0x3d6b61d994] [sunrise03:06504] [ 4] ./a.out(_ZNSt8ios_base4InitD1Ev+0x41) [0x407039] [sunrise03:06504] *** End of error message *** [sunrise03:06503] *** Process received signal *** [sunrise03:06503] Signal: Segmentation fault (11) [sunrise03:06503] Signal code: Address not mapped (1) [sunrise03:06503] Failing at address: 0x100000037 [sunrise03:06503] [ 0] /lib64/libpthread.so.0 [0x3d6c20eb10] [sunrise03:06503] [ 1] /n/home00/pjonsson/lib/libboost_mpi.so.1.47.0(_ZN5boost3mpi7request4testEv+0xc) [0x2b44a0822a3c] [sunrise03:06503] [ 2] ./a.out(main+0x35d) [0x40ab37] [sunrise03:06503] [ 3] /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4) [0x3d6b61d994] [sunrise03:06503] [ 4] ./a.out(_ZNSt8ios_base4InitD1Ev+0x41) [0x407039] [sunrise03:06503] *** End of error message *** [sunrise03:06505] *** Process received signal *** [sunrise03:06505] Signal: Segmentation fault (11) [sunrise03:06505] Signal code: Address not mapped (1) [sunrise03:06505] Failing at address: 0x100000037 Task 2 sending to 1 Task 2 received message tag 0 from task 0 [sunrise03:06505] [ 0] /lib64/libpthread.so.0 [0x3d6c20eb10] [sunrise03:06505] [ 1] /n/home00/pjonsson/lib/libboost_mpi.so.1.47.0(_ZN5boost3mpi7request4testEv+0xc) [0x2b7c652b4a3c] [sunrise03:06505] [ 2] ./a.out(main+0x35d) [0x40ab37] [sunrise03:06505] [ 3] /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4) [0x3d6b61d994] [sunrise03:06505] [ 4] ./a.out(_ZNSt8ios_base4InitD1Ev+0x41) [0x407039] [sunrise03:06505] *** End of error message *** Sometimes it doesn't crash but just returns garbage for the source/tag, like all messages have source 0 and tag value that is the source task.

I didn't see any answer to this but apologies if its already been answered. #define BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK Is for use within your own consuming code - use the bjam --link option to control which version of boost libraries are built eg in boost root do:- bjam variant=debug,release threading=multi link=shared stage --with-thread which would build boost-thread as dll (bjam --help to get more info on options) then: #define BOOST_THREAD_DYN_LINK In your code would use the dll version of boost.thread (any other boost libs would still be looking for static versions) HTH Alex

Segfaults w/ Program_options in __run_exit_handlers : gcc45
by Keith Gunderson 18 Nov '11

18 Nov '11

I am tracking down some segfaults that may be related to the Program Options library. I've done my best to narrow the focus of what I'm doing and seeing. Now I'll report the results and see if anyone can help me get to the bottom of the issue. Overview: Two C++ projects, a library (LIB) and an app (APP). Both developed in OpenSuse 11.3 using gcc45 and boost 1_45. Both built using CMake(makefiles), and share the same boost settings in a shared cmake file (settings listed later.) LIB is linked into APP (either staticly or dynamically , as discussed later.) Both LIB and APP contain a options[Lib|App].cpp file that defines an uniquely named options global object. These objects store the option values as members and have a ParseOptions() method that use the Boost Program Options features. There is an exported API call in LIB that passes a string into the optionsLib object. Now I'll start listing some known facts about how/when segfaults are seen. 1: Crashes never occur in Windows (using VC++10). 2: If everything is linked statically, there is never a segfault. (There are three linkages in question: APP->Boost, LIB->Boost, APP->LIB) 3: If everything is linked dynamically there is never a segfault. 4: Segfaults occur when APP->LIB is dynamic while APP->Boost and LIB->Boost are linked statically. This situation occurs even if a global options object in APP is never instantiated (but the options.cpp is still a part of the project) It seems that the segfault occurs in the exit handlers. I posted some of a gdb session that shows some of the exit functions that are called. ************************************************************* Here are the settings in CMake for the segfault situation: set (Boost_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS "1.46" "1.46.0" "1.45" "1.45.0" "1.44" "1.44.0" "1.43" "1.43.0") set (Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED ON) set (Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON) set (Boost_USE_STATIC_RUNTIME OFF) find_package( Boost 1.41.0 COMPONENTS "program_options" "filesystem" "system") ************************************************************* Here's the way that boost::po is used #note that things like loggins have been stripped out int AppOptions::ParseOptions(std::vector<std::basic_string<char> > optionsStrings ) { try { // Declare a group of options that will be // allowed only on command line po::options_description generic("Generic options"); generic.add_options() ("version,v", "Print version string") ("help", "Produce help message") ("config-file,c", po::value<string>(&configFileName_)->default_value(configFileName_), "Name of a file for configuration.") ; #pragma warning( push ) #ifdef _WINDOWS #pragma warning( disable : 4505 ) #endif // Declare a group of options that will be // allowed both on command line and in // config file po::options_description config("Configuration"); config.add_options() ("energy-dir,e", po::value< string >(&energyDir_)->default_value(energyDir_), "Path containing energy files") ("run-example", po::bool_switch(&runExample_), "Use example file (./example_input.txt) instead of stdin for input.")

Re: [Boost-users] Building Boost 1.48 using Intel compiler
by Edward Rankin 18 Nov '11

18 Nov '11

Hi, Just a general comment for compiling Boost with Intel compiler. I have been compiling boost with Intel-win for a while now, and I usually use the command prompt shortcut which comes with the compiler. This will set up the environment correctly. I have been working in Linux recently, so have not tried out Intel 12.1 and Boost 1.47 (now 1.48), so something must have changed on either side. I will see if I can build it this weekend. I do recall there were some changes from 11.1 to 12.0 which caused a lot of deprecation warnings (something to do with where iclvars.bat is located). I am not sure if this was ever fixed (i did create a ticket here: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/5305) Of course this is only important if you run a standard command prompt (and not the Intel one). Regards, Edward

There are several projects and examples on the internet using boost::recursive_variant exactly like I do and it seems to work there. But somehow I can not make it compile in my environment.

[foreach] #define foreach BOOST_FOREACH
by Joaquin M Lopez Munoz 18 Nov '11

18 Nov '11

In Boost.Foreach docs, the user is informed about the possibility to do #define foreach BOOST_FOREACH so as to improve readability, provided there's no collisions in her code with the name 'foreach'. I think this advise is extremely unfortunate, because the collision happens right within Boost.Foreach code itself, as it uses the namespace boost::foreach internally. This results in problems like the one described in http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2011/11/71762.php I think the only viable fix is to rename boost::foreach as boost::foreach_ or something and assume backwards incompatibility (as for Boost.MultiIndex, I'd have no problem in syncing up), unless someone figures out a smarter workaround.

[inteprocess] Using named_mutex on Windows 7
by Edward Diener 18 Nov '11

18 Nov '11

I wrote a program more than 3 years ago where I used boost::interprocess_named_mutex to protect more than one instance of the same process from running the same sequence of code at the same time. The program appears to run fine under Windows XP and Windows Vista but occasionally locks up waiting for the locked mutex to unlock on Windows 7. The code looks like this: ------------------------------------------------------------------- boost::interprocess::named_mutex cmutex(boost::interprocess::open_or_create_t(),"MyMutexName"); { boost::interprocess::scoped_lock<boost::interprocess::named_mutex> cscoped(cmutex); // Code here which must be run one at a time. } ------------------------------------------------------------------- Under Windows 7 the code occasionally hangs on the scoped_lock instantiation, which of course I can not have. I notice there is a file in the temporary directory ( TMP or TEMP environment variable ) which is being used by interprocess, and after that file is manually deleted, the program no longer hangs on the scoped_lock instantiation. Is there a reason for this problem on Windows 7 ? I know that Windows 7 has global and local named mutexes and only by prefacing a named mutex name with global\ is the mutex truly global. I do not know if this is causing the problem on Windows 7. It does seem as if something in the file in the temporary directory is telling inteprocess that "MyMutexName" is still locked when the hangup occurs, but I would have expected that when acoped_lock goes out of scope, it handles resetting that file to the correct state. I wonder if this has something to do with UAC/file permissions in Windows 7, where the process somehow can no longer write to the file in the temporary directory afte creating it. Is this a known interprocess problem, perhaps fixed in a later release ? I wrote my code before Windows 7 even came out, recompiled it for Windows 7, but did not update the version of Boost I was using ( Boost 1.35 ). Maybe I need to do that ? I would certainly be willing to do that if I knew that this was a problem with interprocess in Boost 1.35 that has subsequently been fixed in a later version of Boost.

MS Visual Studio 2010 SP1 compiled OK. But if use gcc, boost::variant<T> use boost:: sizeof_<T> and boost:: alignment_of <T>, and use sizeof(T), so need a complete type.

dubious range mismatch prerequisite
by Krzysztof Żelechowski 17 Nov '11

17 Nov '11

The documentation for mismatch, as applied to ranges, says that rng2 must be at least as long as rng1. Why is this precondition necessary? The precondition is impossible to evaluate for bare input iterators without destroying the iterators, whereupon it is impossible to call mismatch any more. IMHO, it would be perfectly reasonable to stop at the end of rng2 if rng2 is shorter. <URL: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_47_0/libs/range/ doc/html/range/reference/algorithms/non_mutating/mismatch.html >

recursive_variant map recursion / incomplete type error
by Bodmer Marc 17 Nov '11

17 Nov '11

Hi I try to use boost::recursive_variant with a recursive std::map. There are several projects and examples on the internet using boost::recursive_variant exactly like I do and it seems to work there. But somehow I can not make it compile in my environment. I am using gcc 4.6.1 and boost 1.46.1. I've stripped my code down to this: ------------------------------------------------------------- #include <boost/variant.hpp> #include <map> typedef boost::make_recursive_variant< int, std::map<float, boost::recursive_variant_> >::type element; int main () { element i = 42; } But I always get these errors about uncomplete types (see attachments for full compiler output and code): ------------------------------------------------------------- /usr/include/c++/4.6/bits/stl_pair.h:93:11: error: 'std::pair<_T1, _T2>::second' has incomplete type /usr/include/boost/variant/variant_fwd.hpp:232:12: error: forward declaration of 'struct boost::recursive_variant_' used compile command: ------------------------------------------------------------ gcc recursive_variant_stripped.cpp 2> gccout.txt Thanks for any help and suggestions regards Marc

[boost-users] [regex] Problem on Solaris
by Kunth, Thomas (ext) 17 Nov '11

17 Nov '11

Hello! I am currently observing a strange crash on my test systems. The core file tells me that it happens when constructing a regular expression from a string for the first time. We are using boost 1.33.1. Please find below some system details. Configuration no. 1 is the current stable workung one. In configuration no. 2 my program crashes in the constructor of boost::regex. The crash seems to be caused by some threading related functions, but the application is single threaded. The call stack is attached to this e-mail. In configuration no. 3 my program does not crash, but hangs at nearly the same position inside the boost::regex constructor. Again inside some threading related functions of my single threaded application. It is related to my system configuration. Here are the ones I use: 1. This configuration works since years * Compilation of libboost_regex: SunOS 5.8 Generic_117350-35 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-2500 CC: Sun WorkShop 6 update 2 C++ 5.3 Patch 111685-24 2006/11/03 * Compilation of my application SunOS 5.8 Generic_117350-35 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-2500 CC: Sun WorkShop 6 update 2 C++ 5.3 Patch 111685-24 2006/11/03 * Execution environment SunOS 5.8 Generic_117350-35 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240 2. We are noe migrating to Solaris 10. This is causing problems. First we just change the execution environment: * Execution environment SunOS 5.10 Generic_141444-09 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V210 3. Then we also change the compilation environment: * Compilation of libboost_regex is not changed. Libraries have not even been re-compiled. * Compilation of my application SunOS 5.10 Generic_141414-01 sun4u sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise CC: Sun WorkShop 6 update 2 C++ 5.3 Patch 111685-24 2006/11/03 * Execution environment SunOS 5.10 Generic_141444-09 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V210 I cannot change these configurations. But I would have the chance to move to a newer version of boost if it would compile with my legacy compiler (which it doesn't). Please help me solving this problem! Thanks in advance! With best regards, Thomas

Lisp/Scheme DSEL in C++?
by Nathan Ridge 17 Nov '11

17 Nov '11

Hello, I came across the following post on boost-users [1]: >> hello all, >> >> does anybody know of an existing spirit/lisp implimentation, and is there >> any interest in developing such a project in open source? > > None yet, AFAIK. > > I'll be writing an example for Spirit2 to complement the tiny-C > virtual machine in there. What's equally interesting though is > that scheme (or at least a subset of it) can be implemented in > pure c++. No parsing, just pure DSEL in C++. Now, imagine a > parser that targets this DSEL (through C++) -- a source to source > translator. Essentially, your scheme code will be compiled into > highly efficient C++. I find this quite intriguing, and I'm naturally led to ask two questions: 1. Which subset of Scheme can be implemented in this way, with a DSEL? 2. Has anyone actually done this? Thanks!

16 Nov '11

> Hello, Actually, I don't want a recursive variant in the normal recursive_wrapper sense. What I want is this: typedef std::list<a> alist; typedef std::list blist; typedef boost::variant<std::string ,long double ,alist::iterator ,blist::iterator ,config::iterator > var; typedef std::vector<var> value; typedef std::map<std::string,value> message; typedef std::map<std::string,message> config; But of course I can't do that because I have no idea how to forward declare config. I suspect that there is no way to do this, but I am not in the same league as everybody else when it comes to this stuff. Any suggestions? Thank you, Jerry

[gil] Constructing view from locator
by Sapp, Mark 16 Nov '11

16 Nov '11

Hi All, I'm trying to iterate through each pixel in a view and calculate the average of the 9x9 pixels surrounding it. I initially tried following the convolution example, but it's performance isn't fast enough for my needs. I have tried several ways of iterating through the pixels on the 136x98 test image provided with the gil: attempt #1 executes in ~400 ms convolve_rows_fixed<rgb32f_pixel_t>(src1,kernel,dst); convolve_cols_fixed<rgb32f_pixel_t>(dst,kernel,dst); attempt #2 executes in ~26000 ms vector<vector<double>> window(windowSizeX, vector<double> (windowSizeY, 1.0 / 81)); for (int y = 0; y <= src1.height(); ++y) { for (int x = 0; x < src1.width(); ++x) { for (int yi = y - windowRadiusY; yi <= y + windowRadiusY; ++yi) { if (yi >= 0 && yi <= src1.height()) { typename SrcView1::x_iterator src1_it=src1.row_begin(y); typename SrcView2::x_iterator src2_it=src2.row_begin(y); typename DstView::x_iterator dst_it=dst.row_begin(y); for (int xi = x - windowRadiusX; xi <= x + windowRadiusX; ++xi) { vector<double> ux, ux2, uy, uy2, uxy = vector<double>(numChannels, 0); ux = ux2 = uy = uy2 = uxy; if (xi >= 0 && xi <= src1.width()) { int winX = xi - x + windowRadiusX; int winY = yi - y + windowRadiusY; double winTotal = 0; for (int c = 0; c < numChannels; ++c) { ux[c] += window[winX][winY] * typename SrcView1::value_type(src1_it[xi])[c]; winTotal += window[winX][winY]; } // Normalize calculation for (int c = 0; c < numChannels; ++c) { ux[c] = ux[c] / winTotal; } } } } } } } So now I'm attempting to run the following but having trouble: ... template <typename SrcView1, typename SrcView2, typename DstView> double function(const SrcView1& src1, const SrcView2& src2, const DstView& dst) { typedef typename channel_type<DstView>::type dstChannelType; transform_pixel_positions(src1, src2, dst, operator<dstChannelType>()); } ... template <typename Out> struct operator { template <typename T> Out operator()(const T& in1, const T& in2) const { rgb8_view_t subView1 = rgb8_view_t(9,9,in1); // in1 throws type mismatch rgb8_view_t subView2 = rgb8_view_t(9,9,in2); // in2 throws type mismatch Out retVal; transform_pixels(subView1, subView2, retVal, average()); return rgb8_pixel_t(0,0,0); } }; Can you explain if this is an appropriate way to construct a subview and how I can retrieve the locator needed as the 3rd parameter to rgb8_view_t(), specifically I need the locator for 4 pixels left and 4 pixel up so that the average window is centered on in1/in2? Also, is it possible to get the view type from the locator inputs in1 and in2 so that I can change the subView instantiantion to in1Type subView1 = in1Type(9,9,in1)? It seems that the performance, with regard to speed, is much better using transform_pixel or transform_pixel_positions over iterating through the pixels myself unless I am doing something incorrect. Are there any other programming styles that provide better performance for doing similar calculations on groups of pixels? As always, I greatly appreciate any help as I'm learning.

[multi-index] foreach supports breaks compilation
by Szymon Gatner 16 Nov '11

16 Nov '11

Hi, I realize this is not really a multi-index bug but after I updated from 1.47 to 1.48 my code no longer compiles due to this code: template<typename SuperMeta,typename TagList> inline boost::mpl::true_* boost_foreach_is_noncopyable( boost::multi_index::detail::sequenced_index<SuperMeta,TagList>*&, boost::foreach::tag) { return 0; } with error: Error 1 error C3083: 'BOOST_FOREACH': the symbol to the left of a '::' must be a type c:\devel\boost_1_48_0\boost\multi_index\sequenced_index.hpp 926 Error 2 error C2039: 'tag' : is not a member of 'boost' c:\devel\boost_1_48_0\boost\multi_index\sequenced_index.hpp 926 Error 3 error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'tag' c:\devel\boost_1_48_0\boost\multi_index\sequenced_index.hpp 926 (similar errors for other indices) this happens because as suggested in boost.foreach docs I have this earlier: #define foreach BOOST_FOREACH which (if I understand correctly) causes offending line to expand into: boost::BOOST_FOREACH::tag Is there anything easy I could do to fix this? btw, 1.47 version has no explicit section marked as /* Boost.Foreach compatibility */ yet I used BOOST_FOREACH macro on many indices all over the place.

How to use filtering streams with cin?
by Jayden Shui 16 Nov '11

16 Nov '11

Hello All, I have trouble in using filtering streams with cin in the following code: #include <boost/iostreams/filtering_stream.hpp> #include <iostream> namespace io = boost::iostreams; int main() { io::filtering_istream in; in.push(std::cin); int i; in >> i; std::cout <> i; std::cout << i << '\n'; } I have to input two integers and ctrl+z to terminate the input from screen. How can I input 1 integer, output it, then input another one and output it, which like the conventional std::cin? Thank you very much for your kind help! Best regards, Jayden

[lexical_cast] Compilation issues with gcc 4.6 -std=c++0x

BGL examples?
by Neiderer, Andrew M USA CIV (US) 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

I am just a beginner with BGL :-( so maybe someone can point me to URLs. I have read the excellent user guide, reference manual by Siek, et. al. And I have the examples they give running with 1.47.0. My team leader wants larger networks of nodes (80 < n < 800) and random links to time-compare SSSPs BFS and Dijkstra algors (and even Bellman-Ford although I do not know what negative weights represent). Is there a URL with more extensive C++ samples for larger networks. And how does one read, write data instead of hard-coding. Maybe reading, writing with AT&T graphviz: read/write_graphviz examples, as well, are appreciated. Thank you for your patience. Andrew M. Neiderer US Army Research Laboratory

[thread] Locking Problem (App Level)
by U.Mutlu 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

Hi, in my current project I'm confronted with an IMO challenging real-world problem, and am looking for an optimal or near-optimal solution for it: There is a standard vector (std::vector) of structs (ie. data records), and 3 threads working on that vector: thread 1: about every 10 seconds appends a new record to the vector, or updates an existing record, there are no deletions done. thread 2: walks over all records in a read-only manner and generates a list; it takes about 60 seconds. thread 3: walks over all records in a read-only manner and generates a different list; it takes about 90 seconds. Of course all threads are running simultanously, but thread 2 fires its job every 3 minutes, thread 3 every 5 minutes, and thread 1 is permanently working (reacting on external events). The problem is this: when thread 2 or 3 are running (remember 60 or 90 seconds) then using the usual shared locking schemes thread 1 cannot do its job, although it is the most important thread and its job is time-critical (recording external events). Is there a better locking solution to this problem? (I think I need something like "record locking" instead if locking the whole vector, isn't it? But then one of course cannot spend a mutex for every of the 50+k records, isn't it? How to do it else?)

BOOST ASIO Strange behaviour
by Gokulakannan Somasundaram 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

Hi, Boost Version : 1.47, OS : Windows 7 I am noticing consistently that DEBUG Version of ASIO is slightly faster than the Release version consistently. The difference is around 5-10%. I checked with the Boost Echo Server and HTTP Server and i was able to reproduce this behavior. It looks strange to me. This occurs when the client and server are in different machines. Can someone explain me on this? ( Nagle's algorithm was disabled in both the cases ) Thanks, Gokul.

Dijkstra Visitor examine_edge usage
by giridhar 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

Hello All, I have to use Dijkstra's visitor in my project to check a minimum condition on each edge in the shortest path. But I am not sure how to use it with bundled edge properties. Can anyone give me a good overview of how to implement examine_edge() in Dijkstra visitor concept. Below are the details. struct Edgep { int edge_index; int edge_w; std::string edge_name; int capacity; }; Graph as: typedef subgraph< adjacency_list<vecS, vecS, undirectedS, Vertexp, property< edge_index_t, unsigned int, Edgep > > > Graph; Shortest path is based on edge_w and I want to check for the minimum condition on this metric through visitor's examine_edge() function. If someone can give a simple example code for understanding the usage and implementing examine_edge() in Dijkstra visitor concept, then I can go further from there. I actually had a look at it in the documentation but I could not follow that example. Just a simple example would be of great help for me. -- Regards, Giridhar

[graph] adjacency_list constructor fails, wrong usage?
by Christoph 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

Hi, I originally wanted to construct an undirected graph from a directed graph and vice versa. For this purpose i tried to use template <class EdgeIterator> adjacency_list(EdgeIterator first, EdgeIterator last, vertices_size_type n, edges_size_type m = 0, const GraphProperty& p = GraphProperty()) as shown in http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_47_0/libs/graph/doc/adjacency_list.html but i do not even manage to construct a graph from the same type with this constructor. What am i missing? Please have a look at the example below. If you uncomment the last two lines, the code will not compile. // begin code #include <iostream> #include <boost/graph/adjacency_list.hpp> #include <boost/graph/graph_utility.hpp> int main(int argc, char** argv) { typedef boost::adjacency_list < boost::listS, boost::vecS, boost::directedS> Dgraph; typedef boost::adjacency_list < boost::listS, boost::vecS, boost::undirectedS> Graph; Dgraph g(5); add_edge (0,1,g);add_edge (2,3,g);add_edge (4,5,g); print_graph (g, boost::get(boost::vertex_index, g)); boost::graph_traits<Dgraph>::edge_iterator i1 = (edges(g)).first; boost::graph_traits<Dgraph>::edge_iterator i2 = (edges(g)).second; // Dgraph g2 = Dgraph (i1, i2, num_vertices (g), num_edges (g)); // print_graph (g2, boost::get(boost::vertex_index, g2)); return 0; } // end code best regards Christoph

Hi, I have class that takes an mpl sequence as its parameter like this: X<mpl::vector<A, B, C> > And I would like to be able to have the class be used without explicitly declaring the mpl sequence like this: X<A, B, C> I know this could be accomplished using variadic template parameters, but I am using an older compiler.

How to use boost::iostreams filter directly
by Allan Nielsen 14 Nov '11

14 Nov '11

Hi How can I use boost::iostreams::gzip_decompressor to decompress a sequence of boost::asio::streambuf's? Here is what I had in mind (non-working pseudo code): struct Foo { public: void sinkData(boost::asio::streambuf & buf) { z.write(boost::asio::buffer_cast<const char*>(buf.data()), buf.size()); while(write()); } void flush() { z.flush(); while(write()); } private: bool write() { char buf[1024]; size_t s = z.read(buf, 1024); std::cout << std::string(buf, s) << std::endl; return } gzip_decompressor z; } The sinkData and the flush functions can not be changed. sinkdata() is called a number of times, followed by a single call to flush(). Is boost::iostreams::gzip_decompressor the best library for this purpose, if so how to do it? Otherwise, what could else be suggested? Best regards Allan W. Nielsen

Thanks Seth, I would certainly like to have UNICODE support, so perhaps the AXE libraries would be a proper solution :) I just need to see if it will work with the MSVC10 compiler, then it will be the solution I am looking for :) The other option is to use something such as iswdigit with the unicode string library: ICU There's a lot more to consider, but it seems like the boost libraries aren't what I require for this project... so I will keep discussion off of these mailing-lists in future.

boost::mpl
by Peter Foelsche 13 Nov '11

13 Nov '11

Again -- my thanks to the developers of boost::mpl -- something I'm really use and appreciate a lot! Some requests: 1) I talked already in the past about the value_init stuff used in for_each. I'm not certain which kind of object needs it's memory initialized to zero to work. Anyway -- even in case of pod types the contents of the value does not matter, AS ONLY THE TYPE IS NEEDED to select one or the other template routine. 2) The routine mpl::for_each must be inlined. I got an object file of a size which I've never seen before!!!! And memory usage by the compiler of up to 12GB! And after some examination it turned out, that some routines called by for_each are not inlined. And I did add again (like I did already some time ago and reported here) some __forceinline (the equivalent for g++ is some attribute) to some of the routines in boost/mpl/for_each.hpp Now everything is fine -- the compiler finishes after an appropriate time and things compile again on 32bit.

boost::ptr_vector::sort with c++11 lambdas
by qplace 12 Nov '11

12 Nov '11

I am trying to figure out if c++11 lambda can be used instead of the straight preducates. say, I have class A : public boost::noncopyable { ... } and boost::ptr_vector<A> lst; I'd like to use something like: lst.sort([&] (const A& v1, const A& v2) ->bool {return v1 < v2;}); Tutorial for ptr_vector says that predicates are wrapped in indirect_fun. May be this is the reason the sort fails to compile?

My hope was that the maintainer himself will do it. Writing the code for the find functions and other "easy" ones (like setting a range of bits to true, setting trailing zeros to true, etc) will probably take a few minutes. For me, it will at least take several days, as I first would have to study the source code of the class (although it is not all too long). btw, who is the maintainer of dynamic_bitset? best, David ___________________________________________________________ SMS schreiben mit WEB.DE FreeMail - einfach, schnell und kostenguenstig.

[smart_ptr] weak_ptr pointer semantics
by Szymon Gatner 12 Nov '11

12 Nov '11

Hi, Why weak_ptr does not have (smart) pointer semantics? No * or -> or even get(). I often need a pointer type that is a listener to shared_ptr<> (does not affect refcount) but is still usable as a regular pointer type. If providing * and -> operators is for some reason undesirable then just a get() member would be nice as it would allow to implement own wrapper with pointer semantics. get() would return raw pointer from shared counter (so is fast) and not shared_ptr<> as lock() does. -- Szymon Gatner The Lordz Games Studio www.thelordzgamesstudio.com

[mpi/serialization] Potential bug or just library misunderstanding?
by Tim Jacobs 10 Nov '11

10 Nov '11

I'm not sure why the following test-class produces this error: "MPI_Recv: MPI_ERR_TRUNCATE: message truncated" If the std::map has only a single element (ie I remove one of the test[].push_back() lines) the error does not occur. Can someone verify that this is indeed a bug and not just novice misuse of the library? Thanks, Tim #include <boost/mpi.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/string.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/vector.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/map.hpp> int main( int argc, char * argv [] ) { boost::mpi::environment env(argc, argv); boost::mpi::communicator world; if(world.rank()==0){ std::map<int, std::vector<std::string> > test; test[1].push_back("FOO"); test[50].push_back("BAR"); world.send(1, 1, boost::mpi::skeleton(test)); world.send(1, 1, boost::mpi::get_content(test)); std::cout << "sent" << std::endl; } else{ std::map<int, std::vector<std::string> > test; world.recv(0,1,boost::mpi::skeleton(test)); world.recv(0,1,boost::mpi::get_content(test)); } }

dynamic_bitset: request for new functions
by David Hochstuhl 10 Nov '11

10 Nov '11

Hi everybody, is it planned to extend the dynamic_bitset in the near future? I would consider the implementations of the following functions to be particularly useful: find_last(); // position of most significant bit find_previous(size_t pos); // like find next, but in the other direction find_first_not(); // position of first unset bit find_next_not(); //... find_last_not(); //... find_previous_not(); //... further, views would be nice, so that one could act with bitwise operation only on a certain subset of the bitset. and last but not least -- I know that might be beyond the scope of this class -- arithmetics would be nice, so that one could directly copy e.g. the algorithms form bit-twiddling hacks. ( *of course* they should also work on views ^^ ) I know thats a lot, but it would certainly be helpful.

[C++ Now! 2012] Call for Submissions
by Hartmut Kaiser 10 Nov '11

10 Nov '11

INAUGURAL C++ NOW! CONFERENCE 2012 Aspen CO, USA, May 14-18, 2012, www.cppnow.org CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS We invite you to submit session proposals to the Inaugural C++ Now! Conference: C++Now! 2012 (Aspen CO, USA, May 14 - 18, 2012). Based on the successful traditions of 5 years of BoostCon, which was the main face-to-face event for all things C++ and Boost (www.boost.org) C++Now! 2012 will present leading speakers from the whole C++ community. The conference name is changing to C++ Now! to reflect the current value of the language, the focus on its new state (from the new Standard), and the need to continually look to the future so the language remains useful to the C++ community. The focus of this conference will be the new C++11 language Standard and as usual Boost: what's new in C++, its Standard library, and in the Boost libraries, how to write and maintain them, how to evangelize or to deploy Boost within your organization. The new C++ Standard, but also the infrastructure and process of Boost, its vision and mission - no matter what you are interested in, it all comes together in the C++Now! sessions. Meet the colleagues, and feel the inspiration to support your work with C++ and Boost for the next year. The C++ Now! Conference is dedicated to discussion and education about C++, an open and free language and standard. Our Conference will focus on discussion and education about open source software usage and developments in the C++ developer and user community. To reflect the breadth of the C++ and Boost communities, the conference includes sessions aimed at three constituencies: C++ and Boost end-users, hard-core Boost library and tool developers, and researchers pushing the boundaries of computation. The program fosters interaction and engagement within and across those groups, with an emphasis on hands-on, participatory sessions. As a multi-paradigm language, C++ is a melting pot where the most compelling ideas from other programming communities are blended in powerful ways. Historically, some of the most popular sessions at C++Now! have highlighted these concepts, from DSLs to functional programming to transactional memory and more. Bring your C#, Python, Ruby or Haskell influences to bear in an environment that will broaden their exposure. IMPORTANT DATES New proposal submissions due: January 10th, 2012. Proposals decisions sent (tentative program available): February 17th, 2012. Fully scheduled program available: February 25th, 2012. Session materials due: April 15th, 2012. BEST PRESENTATION AWARDS We know how much effort it takes to prepare talks for our conference. For this reason we will award the best presentations in the following categories: Best Presentation, Best Short Presentation, Best Tutorial, and Best Workshop. The awards will be given based on the audience's voting. Each award will include the author's name listed on the cover of the C++Now! website for that year and a plaque containing all the C++Now! conference information. SESSION TOPICS Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to, the following: * C++11 and how it changes life for users and library writers * General tutorial sessions on C++11, the C++11 Standardslibrary, and one or more Boost libraries * In-depth sessions on using specific Boost libraries * Case studies on using Boost * Experts panels * Advanced sessions on implementation techniques used within Boost libraries * Development workshops to extend or enhance existing Boost libraries * Workshops on design process * Infrastructure workshops such as Build tools, Website, Testing * Concepts and Generic Programming * Hardware and infrastructure presentations focused on how libraries can make better use of the technology * Software development tools and their application to C++ and or Boost * Other topics likely to be of great interest to Boost users and developers Interactive and collaborative sessions are encouraged, as this is the style of learning and participation that has proven most successful at such events. Sessions can be tutorial based, with an emphasis on interaction and participant involvement, or workshop based, whether hands-on programming or paper-based, discussion-driven collaborative work. SESSION FORMATS Presentations Presentations focus on a practitioner's ideas and experience with anything relevant to C++11, Boost and users. Panels Panels feature three or four people presenting their ideas and experiences relating to C++11 and Boost's relevant, controversial, emerging, or unresolved issues. Panels may be conducted in several ways, such as comparative, analytic, or historic. Tutorials Tutorials are sessions at which instructors teach conference participants specific skills relevant to C++11 and Boost. Workshops Workshops provide an active arena for advancements in Boost-relevant topics. Workshops provide the opportunity for experienced practitioners to develop new ideas about a topic of common interest and experience. Author's Corner These were introduced at BoostCon 2008, and were a great Presentations success They are short (30 minute) sessions, focusing on tips on usage and design. In addition, we're looking to uncover the hidden design gems in Boost libraries. Tool Vendors We actively encourage tool vendors and ISP's to submit Presentations proposals for a special Tool Vendors Session Track aimed at products related to Boost and C++ (compilers, libraries, tools, etc.). Other formats may also be of interest. Don't hold back a proposal just because it doesn't fit into a pigeonhole. SUBMITTING A PROPOSAL Standard Sessions are 60 minutes. You may submit a proposal for fractions or multiples of 90-minutes. Fractional proposals will be grouped into 60 minute sessions covering related topics. Longer sessions, such as tutorials and classes, will be assigned 90 minute, three hour (i.e. half day), or six hour (i.e. full day) time slots. Please include: * The working title. * Type of session: presentation, panel, tutorial, workshop, authors corner, vendor track, other. * A paragraph or two describing the topic covered, suitable for the conference web site. * Proposed length: 10-20 minute short talks, 45 minutes, 90 minutes, half day, full day. * Alternate lengths, if you are willing to make adjustments: 10- 20 minute short-talks, 45 minutes, 90 minutes, half-day, full day. * Audience: users, developers, both. * Level: basic, intermediate, advanced. * A biography, suitable for the conference web site. * Your contact information (will not be made public). SUBMISSION DETAILS All submissions should be made through the EasyChair conference management system: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cppnow2012. If you have not already registered at EasyChair, you will need to do so in order to submit your proposal. All submissions will go through a peer review process.

Hello, I installed boost 1.47.0 and wanted to run the Library Status tests but tools/regression/library_test does not exist and was not created when I built tools/regression/build (according to instructions at http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_47_0/tools/regression/doc/library_status.ht…) It doesn't seem like this question belongs on the Regression list, but if it does just let me know and I'll post over there. Thanks in advance! Tim

[gil] Using gil with windows bitmaps
by Dan Bloomquist 10 Nov '11

10 Nov '11

Hi, Yesterday I went on a bend to understand memory images, so far I've just taken them for granted. I have a situation where I need to resample photos at print time. If a client uses their 37 gigapixel camera and I print that to pdf it bloats the size of the pdf so as they can't email them. My old hack was with GDI+, code I barely understood. So I've gotten to the code below and for all I know it is not a good start, but it works. With gil I could do more like crop and rotate without modifying the source image. Right now I'm at a loss as to how to attach a bitmap to a gil view. (Over ride the allocator?) In my test I've got two extra memcpy calls I should not have to do. I'd like to use gil directly on the windows bitmap memory. BTW, that one hour flash at Adobe was great. Now I want to 'Gilify' my code. Note HEImage::g_image is a rgb8_image_t; HBITMAP test_gil( HBITMAP hBitmap ) { DIBSECTION d; //testing, assume rgb8_image_t in object int nBytes = ::GetObject( hBitmap, sizeof( DIBSECTION ), &d ); HEImage image( d.dsBm.bmWidth, d.dsBm.bmHeight );//, d.dsBm.bmBits, 0 ); should just be able to attach bits memcpy( &image.g_image._view[ 0 ], d.dsBm.bmBits, d.dsBmih.biSizeImage ); //gil::jpeg_read_image( "C:\\cpp\\HE_9\\jpeg-8c\\GIL_test\\In\\IMG_0006.JPG", image.g_image ); HEImage image2( d.dsBm.bmWidth, d.dsBm.bmHeight ); //testing, just flip image... gil::copy_pixels( gil::rotated180_view( image.g_image._view ), image2.g_image._view ); BITMAPINFO bi24BitInfo; //testing, populate to match rgb8_image_t memset( &bi24BitInfo, 0, sizeof( BITMAPINFO ) ); bi24BitInfo.bmiHeader.biSize = sizeof(bi24BitInfo.bmiHeader); bi24BitInfo.bmiHeader.biBitCount = 24; // rgb 8 bytes for each component(3) bi24BitInfo.bmiHeader.biCompression = BI_RGB;// rgb = 3 components bi24BitInfo.bmiHeader.biPlanes = 1; bi24BitInfo.bmiHeader.biWidth = d.dsBm.bmWidth; bi24BitInfo.bmiHeader.biHeight = d.dsBm.bmHeight; HBITMAP oBitmap = ::CreateDIBSection( NULL, &bi24BitInfo, DIB_RGB_COLORS, 0, 0, 0 ); nBytes = ::GetObject( oBitmap, sizeof( DIBSECTION ), &d ); memcpy( d.dsBm.bmBits, &image2.g_image._view[ 0 ], d.dsBmih.biSizeImage ); return oBitmap; } In test used like: bResamplePhoto= true; //TODO testing.... if( bResamplePhoto ) { for( size_t i= 0; i < photoWnd.size( ); ++i ) { HBITMAP hB= test_gil( photoWnd.at( i ) ); photoWnd.at( i ).Destroy( ); photoWnd.at( i ).Attach( hB ); } }

Hi, I am trying to create a directory in my temp folder in windows. Using this sintax : boost::filesystem::remove_all(tcd); boost::filesystem::create_directory(boost::filesystem::path(tcd)); tcd is a char* that looks like : "%TEMP%\file_123456" I get the error "the system can not find the patch" If I use _mkdir. I also get an error. Is there anything that I am missing to create directories in the env. variable temp in windows? The code works just fine in linux. Thanks Jose

[Thread] Semantics regarding memory barrier/happens-before relationship

Hi, I have read an article on Dr.Dobbs (http://drdobbs.com/cpp/184401518?pgno=3) about the Boost Thread Library and a given example quoted below raised a question to me regarding race condition safety (stripped). > |const| |int| |BUF_SIZE = 10;| > |const| |int| |ITERS = 100;| > > |boost::mutex io_mutex;| > > |class| |buffer| > |{| > |public||:| > | ||typedef| |boost::mutex::scoped_lock| > | ||scoped_lock; ||| |[..]| > > | ||int| |get()| > | ||{| > | ||scoped_lock lk(mutex);| > | ||if| |(full == 0)| > | ||{| |[..]| > | ||while| |(full == 0)| > | ||cond.wait(lk);| > | ||}| > | ||int| |i = buf[c];| > | ||c = (c+1) % BUF_SIZE;| > | ||--full;| > | ||cond.notify_one();| > | ||return| |i;| > | ||}| > | | > |private||:| > | ||boost::mutex mutex;| > | ||boost::condition cond;| > | ||unsigned ||int| |p, c, full;| > | ||int| |buf[BUF_SIZE];| > |};| I wonder if it is possible the compiler produces optimised code and checking the member 'full' before creating the scoped lock. Imagine two threads calling/entering method buffer.get. That would lead to a possible race condition. Why is this not possible and how is this guaranteed with current C++ Compilers? Thanks for any reply, Falk Sticken

Pattern matching with boost
by Alec Taylor 10 Nov '11

10 Nov '11

Good morning, I'm trying to parse a relatively simple pattern across 4 std::strings, extracting whatever the part which matches the pattern into a separate std::string. In an abstracted sense, here is what I want: s1=<string1><consecutive number>, s2=<consecutive number><string2>, s3=<string1><consecutive number>, s4=<consecutive number><string2> Less abstracted: s1="apple 1", s2="2 cheese", s3="apple 3", s4="4 cheese" Actual contents: s1="lxckvjlxcjvlkjlkje xvcjxzlvcj wqrej lxvcjz ljvl;x czvouzxvcu j;ljfds apple 1 xcvljxclvjx oueroi xcvzlkjv; zjx", s2="xzljlkxvc jlkjxzvl jxcvljzx lvjlkj wre 2 cheese", s3="apple 3", s4="kxclvj xcvjlxk jcvljxlck jxcvl 4 cheese" How would I perform this pattern matching?

boost.org home page
by Jerry Jeremiah 09 Nov '11

09 Nov '11

Hello, The boost home page says: "We aim to establish "existing practice" and provide reference implementations so that Boost libraries are suitable for eventual standardization. Ten Boost libraries are already included in the C++ Standards Committee's Library Technical Report (TR1) and will be in the new C++0x Standard now being finalized. C++0x will also include several more Boost libraries in addition to those from TR1. More Boost libraries are proposed for TR2." Now that the standard is final we should change this. What I think people would like to see is which boost libraries are reflected in the standard and how those standard ones differ from the boost ones. I know the boost ones have to be more feature rich than the standard ones because the boost ones are continuously being extended and the standard ones are locked in stone. Unfortunately that's all I really know. Now, I realize probably everyone who actually knows this information is probably busier than I so I need to be the one that actually makes the time to figure it out amd create a draft of the new information. Would it be possible for one of you to give me a list of all the boost libraries that are reflected in the new standard? Jerry

Limits in MPL and Fusion - bad doc, not checked, could be extended

Can I merge the changes into trunk when I'm done and after 1.48 is finished? It took a while, but I found this thread: http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2006/11/23285.php > I believe that for most libraries, there's a non-trivial increase in > compile-time for any user of the library when you increase the arity of > things. It's config switch. The library user sets BOOST_MPL_LIMIT_VECTOR_SIZE to whatever he needs and sets BOOST_MPL_CFG_NO_PREPROCESSED_HEADERS. The silly thing is there's an undocumented limit which doesn't warn it just complains when it can't include map60. It would be easy to have map50, just use the limit instead of a hard coded 50. That would allow someone who needs just a it to do it. > Bumping up the default could have rather adverse effects on the compile > time of people who doesn't want to pay for it. No, the library is header only. If you leave the limits at 20 you'll include file10 and file20, but no more. I've currently got the hack in my code. It only works if you do it before including any of the standard headers and it's uggly because BOOST_MPL_LIMIT_MAP_SIZE is redefined 50->70. #define ULTIMATE_N 70 #define BOOST_MPL_CFG_NO_PREPROCESSED_HEADERS #include <boost/mpl/map.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/map/map50.hpp> #include <boost/preprocessor/iterate.hpp> namespace boost { namespace mpl { # define BOOST_PP_ITERATION_PARAMS_1 \ (3,(51, ULTIMATE_N, <boost/mpl/map/aux_/numbered.hpp>)) # include BOOST_PP_ITERATE() }} #define BOOST_MPL_LIMIT_MAP_SIZE ULTIMATE_N // do this for each mpl::map, mpl::list, fusion::vector, fusion::map Chris

phoenix ostream<< result type wrong
by Hite, Christopher 09 Nov '11

09 Nov '11

I'm using Boost version 1.43, perhaps this has been fixed. std::stringstream ss; (boost::phoenix::arg_names::arg1<<1<<2<<3)(ss); BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL(ss.str(),"123"); // check ss.str() == "123" failed [1 != 123] I think what's going on is that the shift operator is returning the int and not the stream. This shouldn't compile, but does: int o=(boost::phoenix::arg_names::arg1<<1<<2<<3)(ss); My use case is a log library which does the actual streaming in non-critical space. Chris

[Move] unique_ptr
by Szymon Gatner 09 Nov '11

09 Nov '11

Hi, with now accepted Move library, is implementation of unique_ptr<> planned for boost? I used to use Howard Hinnant's implementation so far but got compilation problems as soon as I added Move library to my toolbox. Also, Hinnant's page says: "The following is a dated C++03 emulation of unique_ptr. You may find a better unique_ptr emulation at boost." Does he mean the one in Boost.Interprocess? Regards, Simon

[operators] operators: +,+= and commutativity
by Ovanes Markarian 09 Nov '11

09 Nov '11

Hello *, I was just considering the operators library to ease implementation effort of += and + operator overloads. Unfortunately, as I found out operator+ is implemented in the library for types with commutative property only. In the docs I see that there are implementations of operators for subtractable_left, dividable_left and modable_left, but not addable_left. In my simple case I would like to use the += operator for string based type to work with my type and string types. What was the design rationale to not provide the addable_left form? Many thanks, Ovanes

boost 1.43 bimap updating question
by Damian 09 Nov '11

09 Nov '11

Hello. I'm trying to update the data of a left bimap and I keep getting this error message: error: assignment of read-only data-member ‘boost::bimaps::relation::detail::normal_storage<boost::bimaps::tags::tagged<const int, boost::bimaps::relation::member_at::left>, boost::bimaps::tags::tagged<const double, boost::bimaps::relation::member_at::right> >::second’ Here is what I'm doing: int idx = 0; double score = 0.0; typedef boost::bimap<int, double> bm_type; // define the bimap type we will use bm_type bm; bm_type::right_iterator r_iter; bm_type::left_iterator l_iter; bm.insert( bm_type::value_type( 1, 93.9) ); bm.insert( bm_type::value_type( 2, 18.3) ); bm.insert( bm_type::value_type( 3, 4.54) ); bm.insert( bm_type::value_type( 4, 0.343) ); score = 60000.0343; idx = 3; l_iter = bm.left.find(idx); if(l_iter == bm.left.end()) { // this is a new entry so add it bm.insert( bm_type::value_type( idx, score) ); } else { // we have this idx value in the bimap // update the bimap score value only if the current value // of score is greater than what is currently in the bimap // for the same index (idx) value. if( l_iter->second < score ) { l_iter->second = score; } } Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? The double value in the map is the only part that needs to be updated and only if a new (higher) score is observed.

/fs/tools/L3/boost_1_43_0/boost/mpl/list.hpp:36:69: fatal error: boost/mpl/list/list80.hpp: No such file or directory BOOST_MPL_CFG_NO_PREPROCESSED_HEADERS doesn't seem to work if you read the documentation.

pimpl idiom implementation?
by Chris Cleeland 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

In wanting to implement a few things using PIMPL I looked in boost for necessary structure. I found several things that use the idiom, but no formal unified implementation. I then stumbled across a Dr. Dobbs article, and the code at https://github.com/sean-/boost-pimpl Anybody know the status of that code and its potential for inclusion in boost? -- Chris Cleeland

[shared_ptr] Can the custom deleter be a simple function?

The shared_ptr docs suggest that a smart pointer employing a null deleter can be implemented using a functor. Why prefer a functor to a function? Thx, - Rob.

Re: [Boost-users] [locale] Quick questions
by Jookia 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

Ah, thanks. I'm kind of wary of using translate() as it doesn't implictly convert to const char*, so it kind of screws program options up: error: no match for call to ‘(boost::program_options::options_description_easy_init) (const char [7], boost::locale::basic_message<char>)’ Would there be a way to fix this?

[variant] a question about recursive typedef
by gongyiling 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

Hello, everyone: I want write a general linked list(any element in the list may be a node or nested general linked list, so recursive). I think general linked list could by defined as following(see spirit's tutorial mini_xml): glist = *glist_node glist_node = node | glist so here is the typedef according to the above rules: struct node { int data; }; typedef boost::variant<node, boost::recursive_wrapper<glist> > glist_node; //typedef 1 typedef std::list<glist_node> glist; //typedef 2 so the problem comes here, in the typedef 1, how can I forward declare glist? I know this is not a problem if I define glist as a struct or class, but I think the all-powerful library must has a beautiful solution, if any one has a solution, please let me know.

regex memory leaks
by jamich - Post 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

I have problem with memory leaks. I use boost version 1.47. I compiled boost libray by Visual Studio 2010 SP1. My testing code is here: #include "stdafx.h" #include <stdio.h> #include <boost/regex.hpp> void Memtest() { boost::regex e("^(\\d{1,3}\\.\\d{1,3}\\.\\d{1,3}\\.\\d{1,3})(:\\d{1,5})?$"); if ( boost::regex_match("1.a.1.1", e) ) std::cout << "ok" << std::endl; if ( boost::regex_match("1.1.1.1", e) ) std::cout << "ok" << std::endl; } int main(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { _CrtSetReportMode( _CRT_ERROR, _CRTDBG_MODE_DEBUG ); _CrtMemState state; _CrtMemCheckpoint(&state); Memtest(); _CrtMemState newState, diff; _CrtMemCheckpoint(&newState); if(_CrtMemDifference(&diff, &state, &newState)) { _CrtMemDumpStatistics(&diff); } return 0; } This code comes from simple console based project. Debugger gives me these output: 0 bytes in 0 Free Blocks. 5544 bytes in 16 Normal Blocks. 0 bytes in 0 CRT Blocks. 0 bytes in 0 Ignore Blocks. 0 bytes in 0 Client Blocks. Largest number used: 9333 bytes. Total allocations: 13620 bytes. Could anyone help me to resolve these memory leaks? Thanks, Michal

[locale] Quick questions
by Jookia 07 Nov '11

07 Nov '11

Hey! I have some small questions about Boost.Locale. 1. Is it safe to assume that Boost.Locale API methods (like gettext) return UTF-8 strings, or are they locale dependent? 2. I use a custom domain, but when calling gettext("...") I still get lovely English text. However, calling gettext("...", std::locale()) fixes that. Is there some way to set the default domain/locale for gettext so I can simply write gettext("...")? 3. What's the deal with the whole locale/$LANG/LC_MESSAGES/$domain.mo folder structure? I know it has Unix heritage, but why is it explicity forced? It seems like a complex structure compared to locale/$LANG-$domain.mo.

multi-array and pdes
by petros 07 Nov '11

07 Nov '11

Hi, These can very well be very naive questions, since I am relatively new to this - apologies..: I am trying to write a pde solver for a 3D problem. Multi-array seems like a very natural choice for a data structure to store the functtion values. The method I am trying to use is operrator splitting. This amounts to solving a tridiagonal system for each dimension in sequence. Suppose then that I have a MA( M, N, L ): It is highly desirable to maintain this xyz (let's call it) "logical" system of reference since incorporation of boundary conditions and stencil calculations would be conceptually straightforward -otherwise very complicated. The idea being that, I would then have the tridiagonal opertator ( and rhs) in the "rotated" system and all other calculations in the "logical" one. Therefore, I need some fascility to rotate my MA, from the xyz to yzx etc (cyclically). Is there functionality ( as a view to the data ) that would allow me to do this off-the-shelve? Also, a couple of other points: -If I wanted to use views to subgrids, in parallelized calculations, are there memory allocations that happen under the hood for which I should worry (for performance)? -Is a one dimensional MA usable? -Are there adapters between 2D MAs and uBlas matrices? Thank you very much for your help in advance! P-

[atomic] review results
by Tim Blechmann 07 Nov '11

07 Nov '11

hi all, unfortunately only few reviews of boost.atomic arrived in time, however i count 3 YES and no NO, so i am happy to say: Helge Bahmann's boost.atomic library is ACCEPTED. since the library is an implementation of a c++11 feature for c++03, design, API and semantics are mostly fixed. many comments are going into details of the implementation, so i won't sum them all up ... iac, helge already said he wants to address the raised issues, the main points are summarized below. full implementation of the c++11 interface: the library currently only implements a subset of the c++11 library. it lacks the functional interface for integral atomic types and the ATOMIC_VAR_INIT / ATOMIC_FLAG_INIT macro. quickly consulting the latest draft that i currently have at hand the following two functions are missing as well: template <class T> T kill_dependency(T y); void atomic_signal_fence(memory_order); i encourage helge to provide a full implementation of the interface. documentation: the documentation is currently lacking a good API reference. i would therefore encourage helge to provide a doxygen-generated reference section. there were some concerns that it assumes that readers will have to be familiar with concurrency. maybe it is a good idea to point to some literature/tutorials about concurrent programming and/or to c++11 atomics. the section of real-world examples could probably include a link to shavit/herlihy's book `the art of multiprocessor programming'. it would also be helpful to have a detailed specification, if a platform/compiler combination supports a specific type natively (with run-time dispatching or specific compiler flags) ... maybe in form of a table. shared memory support/multi-module support: in multi-module applications and when using shared memory, the blocking emulation of atomics can cause troubles. for multi-module applications this can be resolved by placing the spinlock pool inside a shared library. shared- memory support could be realized by associating a (spin)lock with each blocking atomic<> instead of using a pool of spinlocks. boost should definitely provide atomics which support shared memory, either by default or by an additional implementation which is placed in the boost::interprocess namespace. i would like to thank helge for implementing boost.atomic and submitting it to boost and everyone who participated in the review. cheers, tim review manager

[Boost.PropertyTree] Is it possible to populate a tree with user defined parser?
by Gábor Márton 07 Nov '11

07 Nov '11

Hi, I would like to use PropertyTree as a higher level interface to access our project's config data. However, the config data can be accessed only through C API calls, so I cannot use the XML or INI parser. I suppose that PropertyTree has a polimorfic implementataion, which provides an interface for which a parser must conform, am I right? Thanks, Gabor

bcp doesn't work as expected
by Max Limper 06 Nov '11

06 Nov '11

Hi everyone, I'm trying to use boosts shared_ptr class, and only that one - I was happy to see that boosts provides such a cool tool as bcp. However, it seems that the installation that bcp performs is not complete in my case. When compiling my project, I first found out that "boost/config/user.hpp" was missing. So I copied that one manually and assumed that it was just a little bug since that one does just includes comments and might therefore have been ignored by bcp for some reason. But now, I still find that "boost/config/compiler/visualc.hpp" is missing and my project is unable to compile. According to the bcp description ( http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_37_0/tools/bcp/bcp.html) I was assuming that bcp should install all compiler configs that might be necessary for any random platform. Here's how I used bcp after I built it (Windows7, VC10): "{path-to-the-bcp-build-dir}/bsp.exe shared_ptr.hpp E:\SDK\boost_1_47_0_dependencies" , invoked from the root of the freshly downloaded boost directory E:\SDK\boost_1_47_0. Did I make a mistake, or is this a bug? Thanks a lot in advance! Regards, Max

[variant] is the which() function part of variant's public API?
by Nathan Ridge 06 Nov '11

06 Nov '11

which() is a public member function of variant, but I don't see any mention of it in the documentation. Can I assume this is part of the public API (i.e. it won't go away, won't change its behaviour in future releases) or not? (For example, I am writing a function to serialize a variant and thinking that one implementation might be to write the which() followed by the object). Thanks, Nate

Christian, You're wonderful - thanks for getting back so promptly and helpfully. I'm just downloading the latest boost version (am using 1.42 at the moment which doesn't seem to have the cymk16161688_image_t you refer to) and will try out your suggestion. And this is almost certainly an RTFM question but how does one know which input image type to use? If you had a moment to point me in the right direction or to jot down an elegant code snippet to get me on the right track for reading different flavours of TIFF files I'd be eternally grateful ... Meanwhile I'll go RTFM ;) Thanks a million for taking the time to help. All the best, ... Corinna > > Corinna, this has to wait until tomorrow. Hope that's ok with you. > > But I can see from the source code that the input image should be > cymk16161688_image_t and not just cymk8_image_t.

I'm building Boost 1.47.0 with GCC 4.6.1 and C++11 support enabled and get the following two errors building the Signals library: libs/signals/src/named_slot_map.cpp: In member function ‘void boost::signals::detail::named_slot_map::disconnect(const boost::signals::detail::stored_group&)’: libs/signals/src/named_slot_map.cpp:105:23: error: call of overloaded ‘erase(boost::signals::detail::named_slot_map::group_iterator&)’ is ambiguous libs/signals/src/named_slot_map.cpp:105:23: note: candidates are: /usr/local/include/c++/4.6.1/bits/stl_map.h:613:7: note: std::map<_Key, _Tp, _Compare, _Alloc>::iterator std::map<_Key, _Tp, _Compare, _Alloc>::erase(std::map<_Key, _Tp, _Compare, _Alloc>::const_iterator) [with _Key = boost::signals::detail::stored_group, _Tp = std::list<boost::signals::detail::connection_slot_pair>, _Compare = boost::function2<bool, boost::signals::detail::stored_group, boost::signals::detail::stored_group>, _Alloc = std::allocator<std::pair<const boost::signals::detail::stored_group, std::list<boost::signals::detail::connection_slot_pair> > >, std::map<_Key, _Tp, _Compare, _Alloc>::iterator = std::_Rb_tree_iterator<std::pair<const boost::signals::detail::stored_group, std::list<boost::signals::detail::connection_slot_pair> > >, std::map<_Key, _Tp, _Compare, _Alloc>::const_iterator = std::_Rb_tree_const_iterator<std::pair<const boost::signals::detail::stored_group, std::list<boost::signals::detail::connection_slot_pair> > >] /usr/local/include/c++/4.6.1/bits/stl_map.h:643:7: note: std::map<_Key, _Tp, _Compare, _Alloc>::size_type std::map<_Key, _Tp, _Compare, _Alloc>::erase(const key_type&) [with _Key = boost::signals::detail::stored_group, _Tp = std::list<boost::signals::detail::connection_slot_pair>, _Compare = boost::function2<bool, boost::signals::detail::stored_group, boost::signals::detail::stored_group>, _Alloc = std::allocator<std::pair<const boost::signals::detail::stored_group, std::list<boost::signals::detail::connection_slot_pair> > >, std::map<_Key, _Tp, _Compare, _Alloc>::size_type = long unsigned int, std::map<_Key, _Tp, _Compare, _Alloc>::key_type = boost::signals::detail::stored_group] libs/signals/src/named_slot_map.cpp: In member function ‘void boost::signals::detail::named_slot_map::remove_disconnected_slots()’: libs/signals/src/named_slot_map.cpp:128:35: error: call of overloaded ‘erase(std::_Rb_tree_iterator<std::pair<const boost::signals::detail::stored_group, std::list<boost::signals::detail::connection_slot_pair> > >::_Self)’ is ambiguous libs/signals/src/named_slot_map.cpp:128:35: note: candidates are: /usr/local/include/c++/4.6.1/bits/stl_map.h:613:7: note: std::map<_Key, _Tp, _Compare, _Alloc>::iterator std::map<_Key, _Tp, _Compare, _Alloc>::erase(std::map<_Key, _Tp, _Compare, _Alloc>::const_iterator) [with _Key = boost::signals::detail::stored_group, _Tp = std::list<boost::signals::detail::connection_slot_pair>, _Compare = boost::function2<bool, boost::signals::detail::stored_group, boost::signals::detail::stored_group>, _Alloc = std::allocator<std::pair<const boost::signals::detail::stored_group, std::list<boost::signals::detail::connection_slot_pair> > >, std::map<_Key, _Tp, _Compare, _Alloc>::iterator = std::_Rb_tree_iterator<std::pair<const boost::signals::detail::stored_group, std::list<boost::signals::detail::connection_slot_pair> > >, std::map<_Key, _Tp, _Compare, _Alloc>::const_iterator = std::_Rb_tree_const_iterator<std::pair<const boost::signals::detail::stored_group, std::list<boost::signals::detail::connection_slot_pair> > >] /usr/local/include/c++/4.6.1/bits/stl_map.h:643:7: note: std::map<_Key, _Tp, _Compare, _Alloc>::size_type std::map<_Key, _Tp, _Compare, _Alloc>::erase(const key_type&) [with _Key = boost::signals::detail::stored_group, _Tp = std::list<boost::signals::detail::connection_slot_pair>, _Compare = boost::function2<bool, boost::signals::detail::stored_group, boost::signals::detail::stored_group>, _Alloc = std::allocator<std::pair<const boost::signals::detail::stored_group, std::list<boost::signals::detail::connection_slot_pair> > >, std::map<_Key, _Tp, _Compare, _Alloc>::size_type = long unsigned int, std::map<_Key, _Tp, _Compare, _Alloc>::key_type = boost::signals::detail::stored_group] WHOA BUDDY! Anyway, if you look into this, it is because my STL implementation has changed to the new definition for map::erase which takes a const_iterator. As you can see, trying to erase with an iterator creates an ambiguous call between the const_iterator and key_type. I came up with two solutions: One was to explicitly cast to a const_iterator and the other was to mark stored_group::stored_group<T>(const T&) as explicit. Both work perfectly fine for me, but I like the explicit constructor solution better. I attached that change as a patch...feel free to use it if it doesn't break anything (which it probably does). -- Travis Gockel

[config] TI compiler warning "static local variables of extern inline function are not resolved to single copy"
by Krzysztof Czainski 04 Nov '11

04 Nov '11

Hello, I use some boost libraries with a TI compiler. One of it's defects is "static local variables of extern inline function are not resolved to single copy". It emits a warning about it. My typical workaround for this is making such a function non-inline. This may require to move such a function definition out of a header file, if it isn't a template function. When I need a non-template function to be defined inside a header file, and return an instance of a static variable, i can't just make that function static (or put it into an unnamed namespace), because there will no longer be a single instance of the returned variable.Therefore I came up with the following: instead of: inline int& get_single_int() { static int i = 0; return i; } I need: template < class > // not inline int& get_single_int_impl() { static int i = 0; return i; } inline int& get_single_int() { return get_single_int_impl<void>(); } I needed to make modifications in two places in boost to work around this defect. I'll be happy to share those modifications, but first I wanted to ask if anyone can think of a better/simpler workaround. What comes into my mind, that could make this workaround more general, is replacing the line "// not inline" with some macro BOOST_INLINE_STATIC_VAR defined conditionally to 'inline' or nothing. Thoughts? Regards, Kris

[graph] Implementing turn restrictions
by Stephen Woodbridge 04 Nov '11

04 Nov '11

Hi all, I need to solve Dijkstra shortest path with turn restrictions. I am wondering if anyone has an example of how to implement this? I'm thinking that this can be done something like this: 1. a restriction(s) could be represented as: at a given node X if my ancestry is some list of of nodes, then restrict going forward to a node or list of nodes. 2. any given node can optionally have a list of restrictions attached to it 3. a visitor function would then get the list of restrictions for the visited node and compare ancestor list of each restriction to the current path ancestry and then filter forward nodes if there is an ancestry match(s). Does this sound like a reasonable approach? Does anyone have an example of this or something similar? Any thoughts on how to efficiently implement matching the path to the restriction lists? Many thanks, -Steve

Serialize abstract base class
by Fabian Weiss 04 Nov '11

04 Nov '11

I try to serialize objects wich are derived of an abstract base class. class Modul() { Modul(); int a; virtual void function() = 0; private: friend class boost::serialization::access; template <typename Archive> void serialize(Archive &ar, const unsigned int version) { ar & boost::serialization::make_nvp("a", a); }; }; BOOST_SERIALIZATION_ASSUME_ABSTRACT(Modul) BOOST_CLASS_TRACKING(Modul, track_never) class ExampleModul : public Modul { ExampleModul(){}; int b; void function(); private: friend class boost::serialization::access; template <typename Archive> void serialize(Archive &ar, const unsigned int version) { ar & boost::serialization::make_nvp("Modul", boost::serialization::base_object<Modul>(*this)); ar & boost::serialization::make_nvp("b", b); } }; For serializing the classes I use a boost::archive::xml_oarchive and register the classes: boost::archive::xml_oarchive archfile; archfile.register_type<Modul>(); archfile.register_type<ExampleModul>(); I can compile serializing and run the code - works. But when it comes to deserializing I get a compile error: ..instantiated from here /usr/include/boost/serialization/access.hpp:132:9: error: cannot allocate an object of abstract type 'Modul' note: because the following virtual functions are pure within 'Modul': virtual void Modul::function() If I do not register <Modul> in the deserializing code, then it compiles but I get runtime error of course: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost::archive::archive_exception' I found this example but I dont understand what they are doing and where the classes are registered: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_47_0/libs/serialization/example/demo.cpp How can I serialize my abstract base class?

[type_traits] an is_iterator, not is_pointer, trait
by Belcourt, K. Noel 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

Hi, I'm looking to use a trait in enable_if that can distinguish between a raw pointer and any other valid iterator type, essentially the difference between iterator traits and the raw pointer specialization. template <class Iterator> struct iterator_traits; template <class T> struct iterator_traits<T*>; I was hoping to find a boost::is_iterator type trait which would return false_type for is_iterator<int*> (any raw pointer) and true type for any other valid iterator. This would allow me to group iterators via is_pointer and is_iterator. I was just wondering if this already exists somewhere? Thanks. -- Noel Belcourt

Corinna, this has to wait until tomorrow. Hope that's ok with you. But I can see from the source code that the input image should be cymk16161688_image_t and not just cymk8_image_t. Christian

[Boost.Endian] Review Results
by joel falcou 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

Hi everyone, after some delay, here is the result of the review of Beman Dawes' Boost.Endian library. First, I want to thanks all participants of the review that lead to very deep and interesting discussions on the matter. 5 votes were cast : 2 unconditionally in favor, 3 conditionally in favor after changes made and there is a mini-review. The verdict is that Boost.Endian is **CONDITIONNALY ACCEPTED** Here is what needs to be done to get the library ready for a mini-review: * Common use case scenarios should be developed. * Example programs should be developed for the common use case scenarios. * Documentation should illuminate the differences between endian integer/float type and endian conversion approaches to the common use case scenarios, and provide guidelines for choosing the most appropriate approach in user's applications. * Conversion functions supplying results via return should be provided. * Platform specific performance enhancements such as use of compiler intrinsics or relaxed alignment requirements should be supported. * Endian integer (and floating) types should be implemented via the conversion functions. If that can't be done efficiently, consideration should be given to expanding the conversion function signatures to resolve the inefficiencies. * Benchmarks that measure performance should be provided. It should be possible to compare platform specific performance enhancements against portable base implementations, and to compare endian integer approaches against endian conversion approaches for the common use case scenarios. * Float (32-bits) and double (64-bits) should be supported. IEEE 754 is the primary use case. * Support for user defined types (UDTs) is desirable, and should be provided where there would be no conflict with the other concerns. * There is some concern that endian integer/float arithmetic operations might used inadvertently or inappropriately. The impact of adding an endian_buffer class without arithmetic operations should be investigated. * Stream insertion and extraction of the endian integer/float types should be documented and included in the test coverage. * Binary I/O support that was investigated during development of the Endian library should be put up for mini-review for inclusion in the Boost I/O library. From this point, I will let Beman prepare Endian for the mini-review and I already volunteer to manage the mini-review so informations are not scattered around. Regards

[fusion] Adapted struct I/O
by Mateusz Łoskot 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

Hi, I'm still taking early steps with Boost.Fusion. I'm trying to adapt a bunch of struct and template struct for easy I/O operations. I don't understand one thing from the docs. Here we go; 1) Given the example [1] of template struct adoption: namespace demo { template<typename Name, typename Age> struct employee { Name name; Age age; }; } // Any instantiated demo::employee is now a Fusion sequence BOOST_FUSION_ADAPT_TPL_STRUCT( (Name)(Age), (demo::employee) (Name)(Age), (Name, name) (Age, age)) [1] http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_47_0/libs/fusion/doc/html/fusion/adapted/ad… 2) The included comment says "demo::employee is now a Fusion sequence". 3) Jumping to I/O and out docs, reading that [2] "The I/O operators: << and >> work generically on all Fusion sequences. " [2] http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_47_0/libs/fusion/doc/html/fusion/sequence/o… 4) Means, I should be able to stream Fusion-adopted demo::employee #include <iostream> #include <string> #include <boost/fusion/adapted/struct/adapt_struct.hpp> #include <boost/fusion/include/adapt_struct.hpp> #include <boost/fusion/sequence/io.hpp> #include <boost/fusion/include/io.hpp> // code from above example goes here int main() { demo::employee<std::string, int> e; std::cout << e << std::endl; } 5) Given what I have learned above, I expect the cout << e to work: $ g++ -I/home/mloskot/dev/boost/_svn/trunk boost_fusion.cpp boost_fusion.cpp: In function ‘int main()’: boost_fusion.cpp:28:18: error: no match for ‘operator<<’ in ‘std::cout << e’ ... I assume complete error is not necessary as my question is of general nature. Is my expectation valid?

[Gil] TIFF file with mixed 8/16 bit channel depths
by Corinna Kinchin 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

Hello, I'm using boost::gil::read_image(in, img, tiff_tag()); as part of a process to extract raw image data from a TIFF file, and it works beautifully for cmyka TIFF files containing either 5 x 8-bit channels, or 5 x 16-bit channels. But it seems using this technique mangles image data contained in a (photoshop generated) TIFF file which contains CMYK channels with both 8 and 16 bit depths (mixed). Here is an extract from the ImageMagick 'identify -verbose' output on such a file: Depth: 8/16-bit Channel depth: cyan: 16-bit magenta: 16-bit yellow: 16-bit black: 8-bit alpha: 8-bit It seems that read_image treats the TIFF file as if it contains 5 x 8-bit channels (the TIFFTAG_BITSPERSAMPLE property and hence the _bits_per_sample info value for the TIFF file is set to 8), so the CMY channel image data isn't read in correctly ... at least that's my best guess. Does anyone out there know whether boost::gil can be made to support 8/16bit TIFF files - eg if there's an extension (or hack ;) which could do the trick? Or any other options (eg other libraries) which could be worth investigation? Many thanks for reading this far, and if you have any remotely relevent ideas it would be great to hear them ...
