Regarding use of Boost.Test in Iteration.
by Gaurav N Shah 02 Jun '10

02 Jun '10

Hi, I am presently developing a tool to execute a set of test cases after specified time duration (let's say a monitoring tool). Following is the sample code I have written: bool init_test() { boost::unit_test::test_suite* ts1 = BOOST_TEST_SUITE( "test_suite1" ); return false; } TestSuite* testSuite = new TestSuite("TestSuite1"); //TestSuite Class is derived from boost::unit_test::test_suite if (!testSuite->initialize()) { LOG(SDK_ERROR, "Failed to initialize testSuite"); return false; } ts1->add(testSuite); ::boost::framework::master_test_suite().add(ts1); return true; } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { while (1) { boost::unit_test::unit_test_main(&init_test, argc, argv); ::Sleep(2*60*1000); //wait for 2 mins } } It works fine on first attempt. However, on second term after ::Sleep() is over and program try to register &init_test I get following ERROR: Fail to process runtime parameters: Definition of parameter auto_start_dbg conflicts with defintion of parameter auto_start_dbg Usage: MarketDataCheck.exe [{--auto_start_dbg=|-d }[yes|y|no|n]] [--break_exec_path=<value>] [{--build_info=|-i }[yes|y|no|n]] [{--catch_system_errors=|-s }[ yes|y|no|n]] [--detect_fp_exceptions=[yes|y|no|n]] [--detect_memory_leaks=<value>] [{--log_format=|-f }<value>] [{--log_level=|-l }<value>] [{--output _format=|-o }<value>] [{--random=|-a }[<value>]] [{--report_format=|-m }<value>] [{--report_level=|-r }<value>] [{--result_code=|-c }[yes|y|no|n]] [{- -run_test=|-t }<value>] [--save_pattern=[yes|y|no|n]] [{--show_progress=|-p }[yes|y|no|n]] [--use_alt_stack=[yes|y|no|n]] [{--help=|-? }[yes|y|no|n]] Would you please provide the reason for this error?? If I am not using Boost.Test in correct manner, please suggest any alternative way to use same Boost.Test in iteration mode.

Program options (1.43.0) problem on Mac OS 10.6: pointer being freed not allocated
by Robert McLay 02 Jun '10

02 Jun '10

I'm using boost 1.43.0. I have enclose a program which uses boost::program_options on a Mac OS 10.6 and when I run it, I get errors. I have compiled boost with g++ version 4.4.1 and version 4.5.0 and I get the same errors. I have tried the version of boost (1.42.0) that comes from macports as well as downloaded version that I have build. clo(87082) malloc: *** error for object 0xa0136db0: pointer being freed was not allocated. The program is given below. I have run the same program with boost 1.43.0 under linux and I don't get any errors. It is also completely clean of any errors when run through valgrind. The program is an example showing problem I'm having. It has been extracted from a larger program. Am I correctly using the library or is there a problem with boost (and only on a Mac?) Thanks for any help. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #include<iostream> #include<string> #include<boost/program_options.hpp> class CmdLineOptions { public: CmdLineOptions(int argc, char* argv[]); bool is_good() {return m_isGood;} public: bool negative; int clustSize; float rebuildRatio; std::string input_file; private: bool m_isGood; }; namespace po = boost::program_options; CmdLineOptions::CmdLineOptions(int argc, char* argv[]) : m_isGood(true) { po::options_description visible("Options"); visible.add_options() ("version,v", "print version string") ("help,h", "produce help message") ("question,?", "produce help message") ("clust_size,s", po::value<int>()->default_value(30), "cluster size") ("rebuild_ratio,r", po::value<float>()->default_value(0.5), "Rebuild ratio") ("negative,n", "Allow negative distances") ; // Hidden options, will be allowed both on command line po::options_description hidden("Hidden options"); hidden.add_options() ("input-file", po::value<std::string>(), "input file") ; po::options_description cmdline_options; cmdline_options.add(visible).add(hidden); po::positional_options_description p; p.add("input-file", -1); po::variables_map vm; store(po::command_line_parser(argc, argv). options(cmdline_options).positional(p).run(), vm); if (vm.count("input-file") == 0 || vm.count("help") || vm.count("question")) { std::cerr<< "\nUsage:\n" << " "<< argv[0]<< " [options] input_file\n\n" << visible<< std::endl; m_isGood = false; return; } clustSize = vm["clust_size"].as<int>(); input_file = vm["input-file"].as<std::string>(); rebuildRatio = vm["rebuild_ratio"].as<float>(); negative = vm.count("negative")> 0; } int main(int argc, char * argv[]) { // Parse Command line options CmdLineOptions cmd(argc, argv); if (! cmd.is_good()) return 1; std::cout<< "clustSize: "<< cmd.clustSize<< " rebuild factor: "<< cmd.rebuildRatio<< "\n"; }

[Phoenix] documentation feedback
by John Dlugosz 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

<http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/libs/spirit/phoenix/doc/html/phoenix/b…> What it returns instead is another function, a lambda function --another black box. The two hyphens should be an em-dash, and the space (of lack of) the same on either side. I suggest a "thin space" on either side, or no space. Also, the generated HTML is missing the <!DOCTYPE> declaration <http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/libs/spirit/phoenix/doc/html/phoenix/o…> Table 1.2 names "Container", but that is not in the four-layer chart of modules above. <http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/libs/spirit/phoenix/doc/html/phoenix/p…> Evaluating a Value cout << val(3)() << val("Hello World")(); prints out "3 Hello World". Where does the extra space come from? Should that be "3Hello World"? (Two instances in file) Here, we want the first function argument, x, to be mutable. The 'x' is not marked with tt and identifier like other such things are. <http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/libs/spirit/phoenix/doc/html/phoenix/c…> where ftor is an instance of factorial_impl is missing tt/identifier in two places composite is simply a function object expecting a single argument of the containers value_type ditto, "value_type" where arg1 is replaced by the container's element. ditto, "arg1" the if_else pseudo function is provided for this purpose ditto, "if_else" are passed on to STL's for_each function. ditto, "for_each". Many others, I'll stop listing them. 2. Unary operators are lazily evaluted if their argument is an actor object. Is grammatically incorrect (it implies that all the operators are sharing a single argument) and it would be better worded to be consistent with the tense of the other items in the list, specifically #1. It also contains a spelling error ("evaluted"). I would suggest "A unary operator will be lazily evaluated with its operand is an actor object." ifelse statment (Header level 4) I think the Docbook exporter got confused. Just look at the page in a web browser! I think you meant to write "if_else_" and it took the underscore as a formatting directive, since it appears to underscore the rest of the word and has no space or underscore characters. dowhile Statement (Header) ditto. It is again very similar to the C++ for statement. Take note that the init_statement, conditional_expression and stepstatement are separated by the comma instead of the semi-colon and each must be present (i.e. `for(,,)` is invalid). Besides missing the tt/identifier in several places, I think it originally said "... step_ statement ... for_(,,)" and the underbars got taken as underling everything between them. The backticks around the "for" expression should be tt formatting instead. <http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/libs/spirit/phoenix/doc/html/phoenix/i…> apply_actor is a standard MPL style metafunction "MPL-style" needs a hyphen, since the pair of words is used as an adjective.

Boost 1.43 - Exception before main() is called
by Rob Yull 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

I recently upgrade from boost 1.42 to 1.43. All of a sudden, the project I was working on seems to be throwing an exception before main() is called. I was able to reproduce this error in the example below. Using 1.42, it executes just fine. Using 1.43, an exception is thrown before main is reached. In some of my classes, I have a static mutex variable that I lock before I manipulate other static variables in the class (as seen below). main.cpp - Start #include "Test.hpp" int main() { Test test; return 0; } main.cpp - End Test.hpp - Start #ifndef DEFINE_TEST_HPP #define DEFINE_TEST_HPP #include <boost/thread.hpp> class Test { public: Test(); ~Test(); private: typedef boost::mutex StaticMutex; static StaticMutex s_Mutex; typedef boost::lock_guard<StaticMutex> StaticMutexLock; }; #endif // DEFINE_TEST_HPP Test.hpp - End Test.cpp - Start #include "Test.hpp" Test::StaticMutex Test::s_Mutex; Test::Test() { const StaticMutexLock Lock(s_Mutex); } Test::~Test() { } Test.cpp - End The code above, when using boost 1.43, produces the following error in both VC2010 Express and VC2005 Pro. First-chance exception at 0x7569b727 (KernelBase.dll) in BoostTest.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: boost::exception_detail::clone_impl<boost::exception_detail::bad_alloc_> at memory location 0x0030f6e4..

[serialization] Attaching arbitrary data to an archive
by Noah Roberts 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

Sometimes during serialization an object needs to know a lot more than it does during normal operation. The way I've dealt with this in the past is to subclass the archive I want to use and add setter/getters for the data that various objects down the line are going to need to store and retrieve themselves. Is there a better way though, something that's built into the library already maybe? I don't see anything but I thought I'd ask. -- http://crazyeddiecpp.blogspot.com/

<http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/libs/spirit/phoenix/doc/html/phoenix/s…> Under "Lazy Statements", it gives the example of if_(arg1 > 5) cout << arg1 wondering how you managed to get operator overloading to accept that (sans brackets), I looked at the following like for 'statements'.

boost::variant: Wrapping C-struct inside C++ class

Hi there, Did anyone write up a small C++ wrapper class when one want to use C-struct as part of boost::variant. When using C-struct boost::variant fails with: /usr/include/boost/variant/variant.hpp:294: error: request for member ‘~__mpfr_struct [1]’ in ‘operand’, which is of non-class type ‘__mpfr_struct [1]’ make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/variant_mpfr.dir/variant_mpfr.cxx.o] Error 1 Thanks ! -- Mathieu

[mpl][fusion] iteration over mutiple containers
by Manfred Doudar 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

Hello, I've been using the Boost.PP lately, and everything now works rather nicely, but there's been a thing in the back of my head that has always been telling me, that the problem is better suited to mpl/fusion. The problem in this case is I have "two things" that need to be iterated over, one a series of tags (aka "types"), and the the other, a runtime index. I'll express what I'm after with mpl::for_each, because the issue becomes clearer that way: using namespace boost; //Func: is an object that facilitates visitation on algorithms template <template <typename> Visitor> struct Func { typedef void result_type; template <typename R, typename A> result_type operator()(A* algo) { // do work.. visit algo, with Visitor<R> apply_visitor(std::move(Visitor<R>()), *algo, ...); } } // tags are the return type on visitation typedef mpl::vector<int, float> tags; // container of algorithms Ctr<algorithms> ctr; Func<MyVisitor> ftor; mpl::for_each<tags>(bind(ref(ftor), ::_1, // [A] ctr[INDEX]))); // [B] [A]: dispatch the tag [B]: pass through algorithm instance at INDEX.. I want to do INDEX++ Of course the problem here is that I can't update INDEX in each mpl::for_each call, .. and thinking boost::fusion might be the machinery I need, but I seemingly run into other problems with that one too, there, since my tag-types are not of the same sequence as my container of algorithms. What I want is to pass in the appropriate tag, for each instance of algorithm from a container. Indeed, for those wondering, I have tried a typedef on each algorithm, ..was hoping I could access the nested type A::type in place of R in Func above, however, owing to the visitation mechanism, doing so gives problems of access to incomplete-types elsewhere in the chain. If anyone can suggest something, I'd be happy to hear it, ...as I said, what I have already works, but I have a hard time letting this one rest, knowing that there is a better alternative, but am not quite seeing it yet. Cheers, -- Manfred

BGL property maps
by Arne Schwabe 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

Hi, I trying to wrap my head about the usage of iterator_property_map<RandomAccessIterator, OffsetMap, T, R> What I am trying to do is the following: create a map like color with key a graph_node and value type of a struct like struct foo { int numbervists; int color; } so I can use that in a breadth first like algorithm. The example shows me how to do it for an int but do not know how to change typedef boost::graph_traits<Graph>::edge_descriptor Edge; typedef boost::property_map<Graph, boost::id_tag>::type EdgeID_PMap; EdgeID_PMap edge_id = get(boost::edge_index(), G); boost::iterator_property_map<int*, EdgeID_PMap, int, int&> capacity_pa(capacity, edge_id), flow_pa(flow, edge_id); to use foo instead of int. In my understanding, I would have to change int* to a RandomAccessIterator to to Iterator that has foo as value type. But I am kind of lost how to construct such a thing. Arne

[ASIO] Resolve hostname to IPv4 or IPv6
by Alexander Lamaison 31 May '10

31 May '10

I'm trying to add IPv6 support to my program without breaking IPv4. What is the canonical way, if any, to do this win ASIO on Windows. My previous code to take the hostname of a server and resolve it to and IP looked like this: tcp::resolver resolver(m_io); tcp::endpoint endpoint; typedef tcp::resolver::query Lookup; Lookup query( endpoint.protocol(), host, lexical_cast<string>(port), Lookup::all_matching | Lookup::numeric_service); tcp::resolver::iterator endpoint_iterator = resolver.resolve(query); tcp::resolver::iterator end; error_code error = host_not_found; while (error && endpoint_iterator != end) { m_socket.close(); m_socket.connect(*endpoint_iterator++, error); } if (error) BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION(system_error(error)); I originally though that all_matching would mean this code would resolve an IPv6 address if necessary but it doesn't. So I made the following changes: tcp::resolver resolver(m_io); typedef tcp::resolver::query Lookup; Lookup query( tcp::v6(), host_name, lexical_cast<string>(port), Lookup::all_matching | Lookup::v4_mapped | Lookup::numeric_service); This works on my test IPv6 setup but is it good enough? There are all sorts of things I don't understand like mapping and tunnelling so I'm looking for a best practice for IP-agnostic name resolution. Many thanks.

Since the problem is difficult to explain, I designed a little example which crash every time for me : #include <iostream> #include <algorithm> #include <boost/interprocess/managed_shared_memory.hpp> #include <boost/interprocess/smart_ptr/shared_ptr.hpp> #include <boost/interprocess/smart_ptr/weak_ptr.hpp> #include <boost/interprocess/containers/vector.hpp> #include <boost/interprocess/allocators/allocator.hpp> using namespace boost::interprocess; struct Foo { Foo( int _x ) : x(_x) {} ~Foo() { std::cout << "Destructing a Foo with x=" << x << "\n"; } int x; /* ... */ }; typedef managed_shared_ptr<Foo, fixed_managed_shared_memory>::type FooSharedPtrType; typedef managed_weak_ptr <Foo, fixed_managed_shared_memory>::type FooWeakPtrType; typedef allocator<FooWeakPtrType, fixed_managed_shared_memory::segment_manager> FooWeakPtrAllocatorType; typedef vector<FooWeakPtrType , FooWeakPtrAllocatorType> FooWeakPtrVectorType; struct FooPtrOps { void operator()( const FooWeakPtrType & a ) { std::cout << a.lock()->x << "\n"; } }; int main() { //Remove existing segment shared_memory_object::remove("MySharedMemory"); //Create a new segment with given name and size fixed_managed_shared_memory segment(create_only, "MySharedMemory", 65536); //Initialize shared memory STL-compatible allocator const FooWeakPtrAllocatorType alloc_inst (segment.get_segment_manager()); //Construct a vector named "MyVector" in shared memory with argument alloc_inst FooWeakPtrVectorType *foo_vector = segment.construct<FooWeakPtrVectorType>("MyVector")(alloc_inst); FooSharedPtrType foo_ptr = make_managed_shared_ptr(segment.construct<Foo>(anonymous_instance)(2), segment); foo_vector->reserve(1); (*foo_vector)[0] = foo_ptr; foo_vector->reserve(2); (*foo_vector)[1] = foo_ptr; foo_vector->reserve(3); (*foo_vector)[2] = foo_ptr; std::cout << "foo_vector:\n"; std::for_each( foo_vector->begin(), foo_vector->end(), FooPtrOps() ); } The crash occurs during the last assignment. Investigating using gdb it seems that just before the assignment the value of (*foo_vector)[2] is : {m_pn = {m_px = 0x0, m_pi = 0x4000000000000fe2}} Obviously the m_pi address is wrong which cause the crash. I think it should be 0x0 like m_px. So, did I do something wrong or did I find a bug ? Thanks for your help. Gaëtan.

[statistics] chi-square test with boost
by Christine SINOQUET 31 May '10

31 May '10

Hello, I have to implement chi square tests. As I already use the boost library boost_1_38 for other purposes, I would like to use it for this purpose too. However I can find no documentation relative to this or the information I find is not correct. Can somebody indicate me how I can to use accumulators/statistics ? Is the boost_1_38 appropriate ? Which file should I include and which function should I use ? I just need to specify the columns in a matrix I wish to test for independence, the data itself and a threshold alpha. I would like the test statistic in return, as well as the p-value. If my question is not the object of this diffusion list, please tell me. Thank you in advance. Regards.

[gil] Compilation errors with MSVC10
by Christian Henning 30 May '10

30 May '10

Hi there, there seems to be some problems with the new MSVC10 compiler and bit_aligned images in gil. The following was compiling fine before I started using MSVC10. Here is some sample code: #include <vector> #include <algorithm> #include <boost/gil/gil_all.hpp> using namespace std; using namespace boost; using namespace boost::gil; int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { typedef bit_aligned_image1_type< 1, gray_layout_t >::type image_t; typedef image_t::view_t view_t; typedef view_t::reference pixel_t; typedef vector< unsigned char > buffer_t; typedef bit_aligned_pixel_iterator< pixel_t > it_t; vector< unsigned char > buf; it_t begin = it_t( &buf.front(), 0 ); it_t end = it_t( &buf.front(), 0 ); image_t img; image_t::view_t v = view( img ); std::copy( begin , end , v.row_begin( 0 ) ); return 0; } The error message is: c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio 10.0\vc\include\xutility(2216): error C2665: 'std::_Copy_impl' : none of the 2 overloads could convert all the argument types Anyone, any idea? I'll keep investigating. Regards, Christian

boost.MPI for a scheduler design
by Jack Bryan 30 May '10

30 May '10

Hi, I want to design an application program (C++) that can distribute computing tasks on a cluster with MPI installed. I would like to use boost.MPI to do the data communication and Rhapsodia.Schedulerto do the task scheduling. For example, I need to solve a big problem, which can be divided into multiple small tasks. These small tasks can be done independently on different nodes. So, when they are done, they return their results to one node, which combine their results into a solution for the big problem. Right now, the big problem has been programmed with C++. It is a sequential algorithm. I need to design a task/job scheduler that can do the above scheduling on cluster system so that the small tasks can be run in parallel. In this way, we can improve the performance of the sequential algorithm. Does my idea make sense ? Any help is appreciated. thanks Jack May 29 2010 _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail is redefining busy with tools for the New Busy.

Why does it not work? without karma::grammar it compiles. How to fix it? Thanks, Olaf

I have downloaded boost 1.43 and run many of the examples without a problem. However, I am not able to compile any of the parallel graph examples. I traced the problem to using boost MPI. For example when I compile the first example in: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/doc/html/mpi/tutorial.html I get: /tmp/ccwOi38z.o(.text+0x132): In function `main': : undefined reference to `boost::mpi::environment::environment(int&, char**&, bool)' /tmp/ccwOi38z.o(.text+0x13b): In function `main': : undefined reference to `boost::mpi::communicator::communicator()' /tmp/ccwOi38z.o(.text+0x144): In function `main': : undefined reference to `boost::mpi::communicator::size() const' /tmp/ccwOi38z.o(.text+0x150): In function `main': : undefined reference to `boost::mpi::communicator::rank() const' /tmp/ccwOi38z.o(.text+0x1b1): In function `main': : undefined reference to `boost::mpi::environment::~environment()' /tmp/ccwOi38z.o(.text+0x1e2): In function `main': : undefined reference to `boost::mpi::environment::~environment()' MPI works fine as I have tested with the example in: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/doc/html/mpi/getting_started.html#mpi.… I am running linux 64 bits, gcc 3.4.

[phoenix][lambda] lambda to phoenix translation: get arguments from expression
by alfC 29 May '10

29 May '10

Hi I have a phoenix expression of type actor< composite< divides_eval, vector< LambdaExp, composite< minus_eval, vector< argument<0>, value<double> > > > > > f_expr with boost.lambda I could extract the different components (Lambda and the actual value stored by value<double>) from f_expr as: get<0>(f_expr.args) //for lambda and get<1>(get<1>(f_expr.args).args) //for lambda what is the equivalent for Boost.phoenix?, it seems that the phoenix actor doesn't have the member "args". something like at_c<1>(at_c<1>(f_expr)) seems to be in the right direction but it returns something of type value<double> from which I don't know how to extract the value in the same way at_c<1>(f_expr) returns the denominator, but it is not an actor, so it is not a lambda expression. the corresponding lambda type was: lambda_functor<lambda_functor_base< arithmetic_action<divide_action>, tuple< lambda_functor<// LambdaExp >,// lambda_functor<lambda_functor_base< arithmetic_action<minus_action>, tuple< lambda_functor< placeholder<1> >, double const // <-- attention adds const to avoid unreadable errors > > > > > > f_expr Thank you, Alfredo

[lambda] helping lambda to deduce return type and then avoid 'ret<T>'
by alfC 29 May '10

29 May '10

Hi, the lambda manual says: "The return type deduction system may not be able to deduce the return types of some user defined operators or bind expressions with class objects. A special lambda expression type is provided for stating the return type explicitly and overriding the deduction system. To state that the return type of the lambda functor defined by the lambda expression e is T, you can write:" and indeed for even very simple arithmetic user-defined classes (for example boost.units quantities) the lambda expression is poluted with many many ret<T> statements, for example _1*_1/(_1+x)/(_1-x) becomes ret<anothertype>(ret<usertype>(_1*_1)/ ret<othertype>(ret<usertype>(_1+x)/ret<usertype>(_1-x))); the question is, is there a way to help lambda library to help deducing the return type to avoid the repeated use of ret<T>. Thank you, Alfredo

[Chrono] How to report problems?
by Roland Bock 28 May '10

28 May '10

Hi, after having received a push in the right direction by Howard yesterday, everything works fine so far, except for for the following two details: a) I get some warnings about unused parameters when using the stopclock. For instance: include/boost/chrono/stopwatch_reporter.hpp:81: warning: unused parameter ‘ec’ The fixes are trivial in all cases I encountered. b) The thread_clock part of the tutorial looks pretty broken. Not sure if more things will come up, but if so, where should I send them? Maybe this information would be a nice addition to the FAQ until chrono makes it into boost? Thanks for this cool library!

[interprocess] user application can't attach shared memory created by Windows service
by Rui Pedro Fernandes 28 May '10

28 May '10

Hi, I'm using version 1.41 in a Windows Server 2008 host. If I run an application as a service (in fact launching it with srvany) that creates a named managed_windows_shared_memory and then execute a user application that tries to attach the shm, the later cannot succeed to attach - error is: "The system cannot find the file specified". On the other hand, if the shared memory is of type managed_shared_memory then all runs fine. Couldn't this indicate that in the windows approach the file mapping object should be created with more global security and access rights? Thanks, Rui

[interprocess] managed_shared_memory on Windows XP virtual machine
by Rui Pedro Fernandes 27 May '10

27 May '10

Hi, I found a problem that seems to be an issue in boost.interprocess (1.41): I was using managed_shared_memory (not managed_windows_shared_memory) and all was going fine until the day I run my applications on a virtual machine. The problem is that some applications were randomly not able to attach the shm previously created and the error was: "The system cannot find the file specified". I found that in fact the folder (under ...All Users\Application Data\boost_interprocess) where the shm file was being looked for was not the same as the folder where it was created. Is it possible that the algorithm used to build the name of the folder "thinks" for some reason that there was a system restart ? Cheers, Rui

At the moment it does'nt compile :-) I want a rule like this inside a template class with Iterator, and ActionHandler as template names: 1: qi::rule< 2: Iterator, 3: qi::locals< 4: std::vector<typename ActionHandler::AClass *>, 5: typename ActionHandler::BClass> * 6: >, 7: skipper 8: > rule1; later in the grammar I would like something like this: 9: rule1.name("rule1"); 10: rule1 = 11: ( 12: qi::lit("AClass") > 13: +(qi::int_ > qi::int_ > qi::char_)[ 14: qi::_a.push_back(phoenix::construct< 15: typename ActionHandler::AClass>(qi::_1, qi::_2, qi::_3) 16: ] > 17: -( 18: qi::lit("BClass") > 19: +(qi::int_ > qi::char_)[qi::_b.addPair(qi::_1, qi::_2)] 20: )[phoenix::for_each(qi::_a.begin(), qi::_a.end(), 21: xxx::a_element.setBClass(qi::_b))] 22: )[phoenix::bind(&ActionHandler::addAClassVector, 23: phoenix::ref(handler), qi::_a)] 24: ; I guess I have some problem with: - The rule definition, here seems is expecting the rule's attribute type - Line 14: - qi::_a is an actor, does'nt have push_back method - construct returns a AClass pointer? - Line 19, same as befor, qi::_b is an actor without addPair method - Line 20: - is it possible to use for_each?, I guess phoenix can. - begin/end qi::_a is an actors not a vector Some idea to face it?, or may be is too complex and better do it in some other easier way? Thanks & Regards. Xavi.

[Bind] binding a functor simple example - compiler error
by Viter :O) 27 May '10

27 May '10

I'm having problems to compile a simple example and I don't Know what could it be the problem. my main.cpp code is the following: -- main.cpp ----------------------------------------------- #include <boost/bind.hpp> #include <iostream> int main() { struct F { int operator() (int a, int b) const { return a + b; } }; F f; std::cout << " f: " << boost::bind(f,1,2)() << std::endl; return 0; } ----------------------------------------------------------- I have the boost headers folder in the relative path "../../include" The command line i'm using to compile the file is @ g++ -I../../include -c main.cpp -o obj/Release/main.o but it returns the following error: no matching function for call to `bind(main()::F&, int, int)' I tried with 2 compilers but I get the same error from both: gcc versión 4.3.3 (Ubuntu 4.3.3-5ubuntu4) gcc version 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3) I'm using the Code::Blocks Editor and the MinGW compiler. Coud you help me to compile this simple example? Thanks a lot. \/iter :O)

program_options: validation_error
by Matwey V. Kornilov 27 May '10

27 May '10

Hi, validation_error constructor signature was changed from validation_error(const std::string &); in boost 1.41.0 to validation_error(kind_t, const std::string & = "", const std::string & = ""); in boost 1.42.0+ This way validation_error is backward-incompatible and "Custom Validators" (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/doc/html/program_options/howto.html#id…) section in html-documentations has an wrong example that uses 'validation_error(const std::string &)' signature.

Problem compiling simple boost::thread code on Ubuntu9.10 :: GCC4.4.1 vs boost ?
by octopusdesign.net 27 May '10

27 May '10

Hi, I'm looking at developing a cross-platform application in C++ using the QT library && Netbeans on Ubuntu (9.10) and I'd like to be able to use Boost libs for threading so I've installed libboost1.40-all-dev. My version of gcc is :: 4.4.1 I've read there is a problem between this version of gcc and boost and that there is a patch somewhere. I'm a bit of a linux newbie so if anyone knows about this and can point me at the patch, it'd be great. I have followed a very straight forward example of how to use boost::thread from here --> http://www.drdobbs.com/cpp/184401518;jsessionid=OUWYLHI3ITUAHQE1GHOSKHWATMY… Looking at the compiler output my inexperienced eyes are telling me the linker can't find the boost lib(s) it wants ? Any help or advice anyone can give will be greatly appreciated. Regards, Chris My code is as follows :: #include <QtGui/QApplication> #include <qt4/QtGui/qwidget.h> #include "qtMain.h" #include "DummySourceMgr.h" #include "DummySource.h" #include <boost/thread.hpp> void startDSM() { DummySourceMgr * dsm = new DummySourceMgr(); dsm->start(); } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { // initialize resources, if needed // Q_INIT_RESOURCE(resfile); QApplication app(argc, argv); // create and show your widgets here qtMain * main = new qtMain(); main->show(); boost::thread systest1(&startDSM); systest1.join(); return app.exec(); } When I build in netbeans I get the following compiler output ::-> /usr/bin/make -f nbproject/Makefile-Debug.mk SUBPROJECTS= .clean-conf make[1]: Entering directory `/home/dansonc/NetBeansProjects/StreamLaser' qmake

Can't find copy_file() with copy_option
by Hite, Christopher 26 May '10

26 May '10

This doesn't work: using namespace boost::filesystem; copy_file(tmpFileName,fname,copy_option::overwrite_if_exists); error: no matching function for call to 'copy_file(std::string&, std::string&, boost::filesystem::copy_option::enum_type)' /fs/tools/L1/boost_1_43_0/boost/filesystem/operations.hpp:742: note: candidates are: void boost::filesystem::copy_file(const boost::filesystem::path&, const boost::filesystem::path&) /fs/tools/L1/boost_1_43_0/boost/filesystem/operations.hpp:744: note: void boost::filesystem::copy_file(const boost::filesystem::wpath&, const boost::filesystem::wpath&) This does: detail::copy_file_api(tmpFileName,fname, copy_option::overwrite_if_exists); Platform is Linux+gcc. It looks like these definitions are the only ones exposed: inline void copy_file( const path & from_path, const path & to_path ) { return copy_file<path>( from_path, to_path ); } inline void copy_file( const wpath & from_path, const wpath & to_path ) { return copy_file<wpath>( from_path, to_path ); } This doesn't fly either though: copy_file<std::string>(tmpFileName,fname,copy_option::overwrite_if_exist s); The version I'm after is there: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/libs/filesystem/doc/reference.html It would be nice to have a move/rename with this functionality. I'm going to stick with std::rename().

[Review] Formal Review: Boost.Move
by OvermindDL1 26 May '10

26 May '10

Greetings Boost Developers and Users, It's my pleasure to announce that the review of Ion Gaztañagas' Move library starts May 10th and lasts until May 24th, 2010, unless an extension occurs. What is it? =========== The Boost.Move library would supply an emulated C++1x Move semantics interface, aka RValue References, allowing for a wide variety of easy to use and easy to add in optimization abilities. The most used function it would add would be: val_b = boost::move( val_a ); Which would move val_a to val_b; val_a should not be used after this line. This semantic allows for a vast amount of optimizations, especially in regards to temporaries, see the documentation for further examples and use. Other patterns emulated are && rvalue references for functions/members and constructors. There are also a number of STL containers in the sandbox that support move semantics using this library for higher efficiency. Getting the library =================== The latest version of this library may be downloaded from SVN: http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/move/ and the docs may be viewed here Docs: http://igaztanaga.drivehq.com/libs/move/doc/html/index.html and do note, this library is header-only and is designed to be absolutely generic to be useful in all areas of C++ programming. Writing a review ================ If you feel this is an interesting library, then please submit your review to the developer list (preferably), or to the review manager. Here are some questions you might want to answer in your review: - 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? And finally, every review should answer this question: - Do you think the library should be accepted as a Boost library? Be sure to say this explicitly so that your other comments don't obscure your overall opinion. Special considerations ====================== If you want or need a primer on the subject, please look at the working draft for C++1x. This linked site has also been shown to be quite useful in describing move usefulness: Want Speed? Pass by Value.: http://cpp-next.com/archive/2009/08/want-speed-pass-by-value/ Move It With Rvalue References: http://cpp-next.com/archive/2009/09/move-it-with-rvalue-references/ And there are further links in that series, but those two will get you started in the domain. Best regards, OvermindDL1, Review Manager (Boost.Move)

[MPL] what is my base class?
by John Dlugosz 26 May '10

26 May '10

I'm writing a class template, say C<T>, that has essentially different features depending on a classification of type T. So, I implemented Ca and Cb as befitting the two categories, and then make that transparent to the user by making a stub for C that inherits from either of those two, using boost::mpl::if_ to choose between them. However, the constructors have to be brought down manually. To "inherit" them, they need to be forwarded to the base class: C (...args...) : Ca (...args...) {} The problem is, I can't easily name the base class here in the base initialization list. I'm not even sure repeating the if_ metaexpression here would work, since the init list doesn't even like typedefs but wants the literal name of the class. Did I paint myself into a corner? Please help. In one case, it was not a problem to use only a default constructor and call an inherited Initialize function from the body. In the other case, I want to keep my reference member initializers.

Review Wizard Report for May 2010
by Ronald Garcia 26 May '10

26 May '10

============================================== Review Wizard Status Report for May 2010 ============================================== News ==== Boost 1.42 Released New Libraries: UUID Revised Libraries: Asio, Circular Buffer, Fusion, Graph, Integer, Iostreams, Program.Options, Property Map, Proto, Regex, Spirit, Unordered, Xpressive Meta State Machine (MSM) Library Accepted Boost 1.43 Released New Libraries: Functional/Factory, Functional/Forward Revised Libraries: Range, Accumulators, Array, Asio, Fusion, Iostreams, Multi-index Containers, Proto, Random, Spirit, Thread, Unordered, Uuid, Wave, Xpressive Open Issues =========== The Constrained Value Library was reviewed in December 2008 but no review result has been reported. We would appreciate it if someone who knows the review manager, Jeff Garland, could contact him. The following libraries have been accepted to Boost, but have not yet been submitted to SVN: * Time Series (accepted August 2007). * Floating Point Utilities (accepted March 2008). * Futures (accepted April 2009). * Polygon Library (accepted November 2009). * Geometry Library (accepted November 2009). * Meta State Machine (accepted January 2010). The following libraries have been accepted provisionally to Boost, but have not been submitted for mini-review and full acceptance: * Switch (accepted provisionally January 2008) * Phoenix (accepted provisionally September 2008) General Announcements ===================== As always, we need experienced review managers. The review queue has grown substantially but we have few volunteers, so manage reviews if possible and if not please make sure to watch the review schedule and participate. Please take a look at the list of libraries in need of managers and check out their descriptions. In general review managers are active boost participants or library contributors. If you can serve as review manager for any of them, email Ron Garcia or John Phillips, "garcia at osl dot iu dot edu" and "phillips at mps dot ohio-state dot edu" respectively. We are also suffering from a lack of reviewers. While we all understand time pressures and the need to complete paying work, the strength of Boost is based on the detailed and informed reviews submitted by you. A recent effort is trying to secure at least five people who promise to submit reviews as a precondition to starting the review period. Consider volunteering for this and even taking the time to create the review as early as possible. No rule says you can only work on a review during the review period. A link to this report will be posted to www.boost.org. If you would like us to make any modifications or additions to this report before we do that, please email Ron or John. If you're a library author and plan on submitting a library for review in the next 3-6 months, send Ron or John a short description of your library and we'll add it to the Libraries Under Construction below. We know that there are many libraries that are near completion, but we have hard time keeping track all of them. Please keep us informed about your progress. The included review queue isn't a classic queue. It is more an unordered list of the libraries awaiting review. As such, any library in the queue can be reviewed once the developer is ready and a review manager works with the wizards and the developer to schedule a review. It is not FIFO. Review Queue ============ * Lexer * Shifted Pointer * Logging * Join * Pimpl * Task * Endian * Conversion * Sorting * GIL.IO * AutoBuffer * String Convert * Containers * Type Traits Extensions * Interthreads * Bitfield * Lockfree * Fiber * Chrono * Sequence Properties * Static Size Linear Algebra * Locale -------------------- Lexer ----- :Author: Ben Hanson :Review Manager: Eric Neibler :Download: `Boost Vault <http://boost-consulting.com/vault/index.php?action=downloadfile&filename=bo… >`__ :Description: A programmable lexical analyser generator inspired by 'flex'. Like flex, it is programmed by the use of regular expressions and outputs a state machine as a number of DFAs utilising equivalence classes for compression. Shifted Pointer --------------- :Author: Phil Bouchard :Review Manager: Needed :Download: `Boost Vault <http://www.boost-consulting.com/vault/index.php?&direction=0&order=&directo… >`__ :Description: Smart pointers are in general optimized for a specific resource (memory usage, CPU cycles, user friendliness, ...) depending on what the user need to make the most of. The purpose of this smart pointer is mainly to allocate the reference counter (or owner) and the object itself at the same time so that dynamic memory management is simplified thus accelerated and cheaper on the memory map. Logging ------- :Author: John Torjo :Review Manager: Gennadiy Rozental :Download: http://torjo.com/log2/ :Description: Used properly, logging is a very powerful tool. Besides aiding debugging/testing, it can also show you how your application is used. The Boost Logging Library allows just for that, supporting a lot of scenarios, ranging from very simple (dumping all to one destination), to very complex (multiple logs, some enabled/some not, levels, etc). It features a very simple and flexible interface, efficient filtering of messages, thread-safety, formatters and destinations, easy manipulation of logs, finding the best logger/filter classes based on your application's needs, you can define your own macros and much more! Join ---- :Author: Yigong Liu :Review Manager: Needed :Download: http://channel.sourceforge.net/ :Description: Join is an asynchronous, message based C++ concurrency library based on join calculus. It is applicable both to multi-threaded applications and to the orchestration of asynchronous, event-based applications. It follows Comega's design and implementation and builds with Boost facilities. It provides a high level concurrency API with asynchronous methods, synchronous methods, and chords which are "join-patterns" defining the synchronization, asynchrony, and concurrency. Pimpl ----- :Author: Vladimir Batov :Review Manager: Needed :Download: | `Boost Vault <http://www.boost-consulting.com/vault/index.php?action=downloadfile&filenam… >`__ | http://www.ddj.com/cpp/205918714 (documentation) :Description: The Pimpl idiom is a simple yet robust technique to minimize coupling via the separation of interface and implementation and then implementation hiding. This library provides a convenient yet flexible and generic deployment technique for the Pimpl idiom. It's seemingly complete and broadly applicable, yet minimal, simple and pleasant to use. Task ---- :Author: Oliver Kowalke :Review Manager: Needed :Download: `Boost Vault <http://www.boostpro.com/vault/index.php?action=downloadfile&filename=bo… >`__ :Description: Formerly called Thread Pool The library provides: * thread creation policies: * determines the management of worker threads: * fixed set of threads in pool * create workerthreads on demand (depending on context) * let worker threads ime out after certain idle time * channel policies: manages access to queued tasks: * bounded channel with high and low watermark for queuing tasks * unbounded channel with unlimited number of queued tasks * rendezvous syncron hand-over between producer and consumer threads * queueing policy: determines how tasks will be removed from channel: * FIFO * LIFO * priority queue (attribute assigned to task) * smart insertions and extractions (for instance remove oldest task with certain attribute by newest one) * tasks can be chained and lazy submit of taks is also supported (thanks to Braddocks future library). * returns a task object from the submit function. The task it self can be interrupted if its is cooperative (means it has some interruption points in its code -> ``this_thread::interruption_point()`` ). Endian ------ :Author: Beman Dawes :Review Manager: Needed :Download: http://mysite.verizon.net/beman/endian-0.10.zip :Description: Conversion ---------- :Author: Vicente Botet :Review Manager: Needed :Download: `Boost Vault <http://www.boostpro.com/vault/index.php?action=downloadfile&filename=co… >`__ :Description: Generic explicit conversion between unrelated types.

All 3 algorithms have O(n(k/s + s)) runtime where k is the number of bits in the data type and s is a constant, and limited memory overhead (in the kB for realistic inputs). In testing, integer_sort varies from 35% faster to 8X as fast as std::sort, depending on processor, compiler optimizations, and data distribution. float_sort is roughly 7X as fast as std::sort on x86 processors. string_sort is roughly 2X as fast as std::sort.

The code has the following properties: * returns true if t<u is meaningful and returns a value convertible to bool * returns false if t<u is meaningless. * fails with compile time error if t<u is meaningful and returns void (a possibility to avoid compile time error would be to return true with an operator, trick but this has little sens as returning false would be better) InterThreads ------------------- :Author: Vicente J.

Problem with signals2 and shared_ptr
by Glenn Macgregor 26 May '10

26 May '10

Hi All, I am using boost 1.41.0 on Windows with Visual Studio 2008 and am seeing what seems to be an issue with signals2 and shared_ptr. The problem is that the shared_ptr does not decrement is reference count after I disconnect the signals2::connection. This is probably best illustrated with some code. ===== Test.h===== #ifndef _CLASS1_H #define _CLASS1_H #include <boost/signals2/signal.hpp> #include <boost/smart_ptr.hpp> class Callee : public boost::enable_shared_from_this<Callee> { public: Callee() : mInt(0) {}; virtual ~Callee() {}; void func1() { mInt++; }; private: int mInt; }; class Caller { public: typedef boost::signals2::signal<void (boost::shared_ptr<Callee>)> OnRun; public: Caller() : mOnRun() {}; ~Caller() {}; void run(boost::shared_ptr<Callee> sp) { boost::signals2::connection conn = mOnRun.connect(boost::bind(&Callee::func1, sp)); _sleep(1000); conn.disconnect(); }; private: OnRun mOnRun; }; #endif ===== End Test.h===== ======main.cpp====== int main(int argc, char **argv) { Caller caller; { boost::shared_ptr<Callee> sp(new Callee); caller.run(sp); } } ======End main.cpp====== Running this in the debugger I would expect to hit a breakpoint in the Callee class before the Caller class, this is not the case I destruct Caller before Callee. Having dug in a bit I see the use_count of the shared pointer go to 2 while in the caller.run which I would expect. The strange thing is the use_count does not decrement after the disconnect or exiting the caller.run function. Is there a way to force the connection/signal to release that shared_ptr? Thanks Glenn

[ASIO|Thread] Advice for removing MFC/ afxwin.h dependancies
by smbrown＠teledyne.com 26 May '10

26 May '10

Hi all, I've inherited a windows C++ application which I've extended and that I'm now preparing for porting to Linux. I'm going through the app removing any MFC code replacing it with standard C++. I use Boost asio and thread and they seem to be requiring me to include afxwin.h before any boost includes or it won't build complaining that Winsock.h or Windows.h has alreday been included. I can bodge around those errors, but then the code doesn't link as new and delete have already been referenced from an afx lib. Is there any general advice for Boost/MFC coexistance or MFC removal?

boost::asio::deadline_timer::expires_at() seems to have a bug
by Hite, Christopher 26 May '10

26 May '10

See the #if below. I'm pretty sure these should do the same thing. The expires_from_now() version does what I'd expect and calls onTimer() once a second. The expires_at() version never calls onTimer(). Even though 'expires_at() const' returns 1s from now: doit now =2010-May-21 15:07:24.882854 expires_at =2010-May-21 15:07:25.882854 <and nothing more> //********************************************************************** *********** #include <boost/asio.hpp> #include <boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time.hpp> #include <iostream> using std::cout; using namespace boost::asio; using namespace boost::posix_time; io_service ioService; deadline_timer timer(ioService); seconds s1(1); void doit(); void onTimer(const boost::system::error_code&){ doit(); //repeat forever } void doit(){ ptime now=microsec_clock::local_time(); cout<< "doit now ="<< now <<std::endl; #if 0 timer.expires_from_now(s1); //works #else timer.expires_at( now+s1); //doesn't work #endif timer.async_wait( onTimer ); cout<< "expires_at ="<< timer.expires_at()<< std::endl ; } void timerTest(){ doit(); io_service::work w(ioService); ioService.run(); } int main(){ timerTest(); return 0; }

[preprocessor] one comma too many
by Manfred Doudar 26 May '10

26 May '10

Hello, Near sure this is trivial, but I don't see it, and hope someone might point out the obvious: #include <boost/preprocessor/iteration/local.hpp> #include <boost/preprocessor/repetition.hpp> #include <boost/preprocessor/repetition/enum_params.hpp> #define OPERATOR(z, n, _) \ \ BOOST_PP_ENUM_PARAMS(n, T r) /**/ #define BOOST_PP_LOCAL_MACRO(n) OPERATOR(_, n, _) #define BOOST_PP_LOCAL_LIMITS(1, 3) #include BOOST_PP_LOCAL_ITERATE() #undef BOOST_PP_LOCAL_MACRO #undef BOOST_PP_LOCAL_LIMITS #undef OPERATOR ..The above works as expected: T r0 T r0, T r1 T r0, T r1, T r2 However, I would like to replace "T" with the following instead: std::pair<T, T> ie: I want to write something to the effect of: BOOST_PP_ENUM_PARAMS(n, std::pair<T, T> r) Of course, BOOST_PP_ENUM_PARAMS now sees one too many arguments, and errors. Any ideas on how to achieve this would be most appreciated. With thanks in advance, -- Manfred

26 May '10

Hello, We are trying to create a "windows::stream_handle" from a native Windows HANDLE. But it throws an exception with "The parameter is incorrect". The code is given below. What could be the reason? (Another IOservice is already running in the system) HANDLE FileHandle=CreateFile("MyFile",FILE_WRITE_DATA,0,NULL,CREATE_NEW,FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,NULL); if(FileHandle==INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) { return; } try { io_service ios; windows::stream_handle StreamHandle(ios,FileHandle); .... .... } catch(std::exception& e) { Log(e.what()); //The parameter is incorrect } Thanks, Lloyd ______________________________________ Scanned and protected by Email scanner

PropertyTree compatibility with Visual C++
by Warren Seine 26 May '10

26 May '10

Hi, I'm trying to port a C++ application to Microsoft Windows using the Visual C++ environment (Express edition, if it matters) and I'm having some trouble with Boost.PropertyTree. The following code works with GCC but fails to compile on Visual C++ 10.0: #include <boost/property_tree/ptree.hpp> int main() { using boost::property_tree::ptree; ptree pt; return 0; } Here is a sample of the output: [..]\boost\property_tree\detail\ptree_implementation.hpp(30): error C2440: 'specialization': cannot convert from 'const std::string std::_Pair_base<_Ty1,_Ty2>::* ' to 'const std::basic_string<_Elem,_Traits,_Ax> std::pair<_Ty1,_Ty2>::* ' with [ _Ty1=const std::string, _Ty2=boost::property_tree::basic_ptree<std::string,std::string> ] and [ _Elem=char, _Traits=std::char_traits<char>, _Ax=std::allocator<char>, _Ty1=const std::string, _Ty2=boost::property_tree::basic_ptree<std::string,std::string> ] Can someone reproduce the bug? If so, is there some kind of workaround, even if it requires hacking the library? Thank you, -- Warren Seine

[thread] race condition detected with valgrind drd
by Jorge Moraleda 26 May '10

26 May '10

Dear all, I must be doing something wrong, but I can't figure out what. I would appreciate some help. Thank you in advance. The following program: #include <boost/thread.hpp> void threadEntry() { } int main (int argc, char *argv[]) { for(size_t t=0; t<10; t++) { boost::thread(threadEntry); } } runs cleanly with valgrind drd, but this other program produces race conditions when run with valgrind drd (see below). The only difference is "new". #include <boost/thread.hpp> void threadEntry() { } int main (int argc, char *argv[]) { for(size_t t=0; t<10; t++) { new boost::thread(threadEntry); } } This problem is not due to the leak, because this other program: #include <boost/thread.hpp> #include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp> void threadEntry() { } int main (int argc, char *argv[]) { std::vector<boost::shared_ptr<boost::thread> > threads; for(size_t t=0; t<10; t++) { boost::shared_ptr<boost::thread> thread(new boost::thread( threadEntry )); threads.push_back(thread); } for (size_t i = 0; i < threads.size(); ++i) { threads[i]->join(); } } which properly manages the heap also produces the same race conditions. I compile using: g++ -g -L /opt/boost/boost/stage/lib -lboost_thread threads.cpp and I test the program using valgrind using: valgrind --tool=drd ./a.out The output of valgrind is: ==3822== drd, a thread error detector ==3822== Copyright (C) 2006-2009, and GNU GPL'd, by Bart Van Assche. ==3822== Using Valgrind-3.5.0-Debian and LibVEX; rerun with -h for copyright info ==3822== Command: ./a.out ==3822== ==3822== Thread 3: ==3822== Conflicting store by thread 3 at 0x0504b350 size 8 ==3822== at 0x4E417B3: ???

[lambda] extract a constant subexpression by introspection
by alfC 26 May '10

26 May '10

Hello, I have a lambda expression that is suppoalways constructed as [some lambda expression] / ( _1 - c); where c is a double constant, for example c = 3.14. What I need is a function that given the expression returns the internal value of c, if that is possible: template<class LambdaExp> double c(LambdaExp expr){ ... return c in expr assuming that expr has the form [...]/(_1 - c) } The function may throw an exception or whatever if the expr is not of the form [...]/(_1 - c) Some additional infomation that maybe useful to simplify the solution: the lambda expression returns a double, _1 is meant to be a placeholder for double. optional feature: Also it would be ideal if the function could also recognize *simple* alternative expressions like [..]/(_1 + k) (and return -k) or [...]/( k + _1) (and return -k). Solutions using other lambda-like libraries are welcomed too. Thank you, Alfredo

[shared_ptr] Error in Constructor
by David A. Greene 26 May '10

26 May '10

Using boost 1.42, the attached fails to compile with g++: shared_ptr_test.cpp: In instantiation of ‘Wrapper<A>’: /usr/include/boost/smart_ptr/detail/sp_convertible.hpp:48: instantiated from ‘boost::detail::sp_convertible<Wrapper<B>, Wrapper<A> >’ /usr/include/boost/smart_ptr/detail/sp_convertible.hpp:67: instantiated from ‘boost::detail::sp_enable_if_convertible<Wrapper<B>, Wrapper<A> >’ shared_ptr_test.cpp:33: instantiated from here shared_ptr_test.cpp :14: error: invalid use of incomplete type ‘struct A’ shared_ptr_test.cpp:5: error: forward declaration of ‘struct A’ This is surprising to me as the code does not use A anywhere. I found BOOST_SP_NO_SP_CONVERTIBLE in shared_ptr.hpp and indeed turning that on fixes the problem. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be documented. What's the rationale for the enable_if'd constructor? Is BOOST_SP_NO_SP_CONVERTIBLE an official part of the library? Apparently it is causing gcc to check all doSomething members of Action against shared_ptr<Wrapper<B> > and those checks are causing instantiations of Wrapper<A>. -Dave

Hi, I have a class with a generic constructor as follows : class X { indexes m_idx; template<class strategy> X(){ build_indexes<strategy>() }; My problem is that I am not able to figure out the syntax to export this constructor. Is the above class not well defined ?. Thanks. Sandeep

Well I'm absolutely no specialist in this, but for my averaging problem it would be enough to compare the "sum" and each new element to 0.5*std::numeric_limits<T>::max()-std::numeric_limits<T>::epsilon() and save the current value "somewhere" (a std::vector?) when this limit is reached. Then, at extraction, one would have to calculate the weighted sum of the entries of that vector.

ASIO async IO, will the buffer corrupt?
by Lloyd 25 May '10

25 May '10

Hello, we are trying to write a high performane storage server. For that we are using Aynchronous IO with boost::asio. The data will be received at the storage server with the help of boost::asio::async_read(), and the data will be written to the storage with boost::asio::async_write() in the asyn_read() completion handler. Here we are planning to share the data buffer. The async read will be running in a loop, so if the write is not completed and if the next async_read() attempts to access the buffer, will the buffer be corrupted? If we use seperate buffer for each async_read()+async_write() operation, wouldn't it be inefficient? Thanks, Lloyd ______________________________________ Scanned and protected by Email scanner

boost::circular buffer- avoid memory allocation
by Lloyd 24 May '10

24 May '10

Hello, We are using circular buffer. The producer generates the data (a 1024byte char buffer) and the consumer reads it from circular buffer. In normal case the producer allocates the memory for each item. we believe this is very inefficient, so that we are going for circular buffer. How can we make the circualr buffer to allocate the memory in advace and make it possible for the producer and consumer to share it. For example if the buffer is of 10 nodes, the totoal memory allocated by circular buffer would be 10*1024, isn't it? How can the producer get the pointer to the next free node available in the circular buffer? (so as to avoid memory allocation by the producer) How can the consumer get pointer to the data to be read next? The sample available in boost::circular buffer describes it with a simple integer based example. I think this kind of problem is not addressed in it. Some hint will be very useful.

[units][interval] adapt boost.interval for boost.units
by alfC 24 May '10

24 May '10

Hi, what is the best way to make boost.units work together with boost.interval. Something naive as boost::numeric::interval<boost::units::quantity<boost::units::si::energy> > iv(3.*boost::units::si::meter, 4.*boost::units::si::meter); doesn't compile because of an error in boost/numeric/interval/ checking.hpp (error attached below). A work around is to do a typedef suggest by http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2009/07/49493.php typedef boost::numeric::interval_lib::change_checking< boost::numeric::interval< quantity<si::length> >, boost::units::interval::checking_base< quantity<si::length> > >::type interval_length_type; interval_length_type ival(3.*si::meter, 4.*si::meter); which compiles. do you think there is a better way?, that could allow for the first syntax at the beginning of this message.

Auto dispatch metaprogramming tricks
by Alexander Lamaison 24 May '10

24 May '10

I would like to dispatch messages to a class based simply on the *presence* of a message handler method. Currently, the classes maintain an MPL vector of the messages they handle and must implement a on(message<MESSAGE_ID>) method for each one. The dispatcher uses this compile-time list to build the dispatching code. This means the information is maintained twice and may fall out of sync (e.g. adding the handler but forgetting to update the message vector. Are there any template metaprogramming tricks I can employ to dispatch the message to a handler method if it exists and the default handler otherwise? All this information is available at compile time. The question is are templates are powerful enough to make use of it? Many thanks. Alex

boost::reg_expression and basic_regex
by Senthil Nathan 24 May '10

24 May '10

Hi, I have been using the regular expressions with the older version of boost::regex, But with the latest version I'm getting the below error. I understand reg_expression is deprecated and need to use basic_regex. But even with that, its the same error. Any ideas on this, would be more useful. typedef boost::reg_expression<char, boost::c_regex_traits<char>, ntl::list_alloc<char> > Exp_type; ../../../include/expr/ExprEngine.h:38: error: wrong number of template arguments (3, should be 2) ../../../include/boost/regex/v4/basic_regex.hpp:597: error: provided for 'template<class charT, class traits> class boost::reg_expression' Thanks rsennat

Help on creating a custom InputIterator for boost graph adjacency_list()
by Cedric Laczny 24 May '10

24 May '10

Hi, I have a graph with quite some information stored in its vertices and edges. Now I would like to perform some analyses on the general overall topology of the graph. Therefore I don't need this "big graph" but only a graph that has the same number of nodes and matching edges to the "big graph". To this end, I wanted to use the adjacency_list() constructor together with an EdgeIterator that models the InputIterator so the routines of the boost-graph library would take care of creating the new "simple graph", which indeed would be a nice solution. However, I just don't get it how to program an EdgeIterator with the following constraints (taken from http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/libs/graph/doc/adjacency_list.html) The EdgeIterator must be a model of InputIterator. The value type of the EdgeIterator must be a std::pair, where the type in the pair is an integer type. Here's what I experimented with so far: <--- Code ---> template< class EdgeIterator, class Edge > class MyEdgeIterator// : public input_iterator< std::pair<int, int> > { public: MyEdgeIterator() {}; MyEdgeIterator(EdgeIterator& rhs) : actual_edge_it_(rhs) {}; MyEdgeIterator(const MyEdgeIterator& to_copy) {}; bool operator==(const MyEdgeIterator& to_compare) { return actual_edge_it_ == to_compare.actual_edge_it_; } bool operator!=(const MyEdgeIterator& to_compare) { return !(*this == to_compare); } Edge operator*() const { return *actual_edge_it_; } const MyEdgeIterator* operator->() const; MyEdgeIterator& operator ++() { ++actual_edge_it_; return *this; } MyEdgeIterator operator ++(int) { MyEdgeIterator<EdgeIterator, Edge> tmp = *this; ++*this; return tmp; } private: EdgeIterator& actual_edge_it_; } <--- Code-End ---> Especially, I'm having trouble with the fact that the EdgeIterator must return a pair of the vertex indices that the actual edge "points to". I think that this must include something like get(vertex_index_t, adjacency_list(...), source(*EdgeIterator, adjacency_list(...)). But this would mean that e.g. MyEdgeIterator would additionally need the vertex- property map of vetex indices. This seems a bit too much information packed into this one, small iterator. Thank you. Best regards, Cedric

[BGL] What's the problem when the dijkstra_shortest_paths is used with stanford_graph

dear everyone I want to construct multicast tree base on the network topology generated by the stanford graph. The source code below can run without error, and have the right output: *The file is open! m:28 n:10 * But when I add the algrithom dijkstra_shortest_paths.

'Undefined symbols' error when building Mira Groupware on Mac OS X
by Max Bossino 23 May '10

23 May '10

Hi all, I'm having some trouble compiling an app (Mira Groupware of http://miragroupware.org) which uses the Boost 1.42 libraries, on Mac OS X. It's exiting during the 'make' stage with an error about 'Undefined symbols'. I would really appreciate it if someone could offer a helping hand!

[ASIO] async_read buffer: starting byte null
by Matty Spatty 23 May '10

23 May '10

Hello, I have encountered a problem with some code that I cannot get my head around, I have spent quite a while looking for solutions but nothing has come up. When the client sends the first packet it is read fine but the header(first 8 bytes) for the second packet ALWAYS goes wrong, the first byte in the buffer is always null and the rest of the packet is pushed down the char array, e.g. I have done plenty of checks on the data the client sends: Client sends 00080002 Header reads _0008000 Client sends 0008TEST Header reads _0008TES (with _ as null) CODE: This is the first call to async_read, called when the client has connected ----------------- void CClient::start() { Log(MSG_INFO, "[%i] Connected", socket_.native()); boost::asio::async_read(socket_, boost::asio::buffer(packet_.buffer(), CPacket::headerSize), boost::bind(&CClient::recvHeader, shared_from_this(), boost::asio::placeholders::error) ); } The rest of the async_read's are called here ----------------- void CClient::recvMessage(const boost::system::error_code& error) { if (!error && handleMessage()) { packet_.reset(); boost::asio::async_read(socket_, boost::asio::buffer(packet_.buffer(), CPacket::headerSize), boost::bind(&CClient::recvHeader, shared_from_this(), boost::asio::placeholders::error) ); } else { disconnect(); } } Thanks in adavnce, Matty. P.S. I am very inexperienced with boost and not great at C++ so if you see anything I could improve, feedback would be appreciated.

Building Boost MPI, but no .lib are being built at all. Do you know what is going on?
by iono sphere 23 May '10

23 May '10

I am trying to run a program with Boost MPI, but the thing is I don't have the .lib. So I try to create one by following the instruction at http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/doc/html/mpi/getting_started.html#mpi.… The instruction says "For many users using LAM/MPI, MPICH, or OpenMPI, configuration is almost automatic", I got myself OpenMPI in C:\, but I didn't do anything more with it. Do we need to do anything with it? I also got myself MPICH2 in Program Files, and didn't do anything more with it as well. At this point of the instruction is where I am quite unsure about what exactly do we have to do. Beside that, another statement from the instruction: "If you don't already have a file user-config.jam in your home directory, copy tools/build/v2/user-config.jam there." Well, I simply do what it says. I got myself "user-config.jam" in C:\boost_1_43_0> along with "using mpi ;" into the file. Next, this is what I've done: bjam --with-mpi C:\boost_1_43_0>bjam --with-mpi WARNING: No python installation configured and autoconfiguration failed. See http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/building.html for configuration instructions or pass --without-python to suppress this message and silently skip all Boost.Python targets Building the Boost C++ Libraries. warning: skipping optional Message Passing Interface (MPI) library. note: to enable MPI support, add "using mpi ;" to user-config.jam. note: to suppress this message, pass "--without-mpi" to bjam. note: otherwise, you can safely ignore this message. warning: Unable to construct ./stage-unversioned warning: Unable to construct ./stage-unversioned Component configuration: - date_time : not building - filesystem : not building - graph : not building - graph_parallel : not building - iostreams : not building - math : not building - mpi : building - program_options : not building - python : not building - random : not building - regex : not building - serialization : not building - signals : not building - system : not building - test : not building - thread : not building - wave : not building ...found 1 target...

The following directory should be added to compiler include paths: C:\boost_1_43_0 The following directory should be added to linker library paths: C:\boost_1_43_0\stage\lib C:\boost_1_43_0> I see that there are many libs in C:\boost_1_43_0\stage\lib, but I see no trace of libboost_mpi-vc100-mt-1_43.lib or libboost_mpi-vc100-mt-gd-1_43.lib at all. These are the libraries required for linking in mpi applications. What could possibly gone wrong when libraries are not being built?

ASIO HTTP Server 3 Example: sharing stack data between threads
by Aaron Riekenberg 23 May '10

23 May '10

I was reading through the ASIO HTTP Server 3 example (http://tinyurl.com/35hwtd5) that uses a thread pool to call io_service::run. In both posix_main.cpp and win_main.cpp an http::server3::server object is created on the stack in main(). server has a boost::asio::io_service member (io_service_). main calls server::run, which creates a pool of threads that each call io_service_.run. So at this point the io_service_ object is within main's stack is being shared by multiple threads. Am I missing something or is this a bad thing to do and encourage others to copy? Seems like a simple fix would be to allocate the server object in main on the heap. Thanks, Aaron Riekenberg

How to deduce (possibly void) return type of member function?
by Terry Golubiewski 23 May '10

23 May '10

If I have a class... struct X { int f(double x); void f(int y); }; ... and a template Y that wants to deduce the return-type of some member functions of T... template<class T> struct Y { typedef typename what_goes_here<T>::type f_double_return_type; typedef typename what_goes here<T>::type f_int_return_type; }; I"ve tried using... typedef BOOST_TYPEOF_TPL(static_cast<X*>(0)->f(double(0))) f_double_type; // this works ... but ... typedef BOOST_TYPEOF_TPL(static_cast<X*>(0)->f(int(0)) f_int_type; // does not work for "void" Of course, I wouldn't know which one returns "void" or not ahead of time. terry

[profile_templates] Unable to run the template profiler

All, A template metaprogram I've written consumes too much memory when compiling on VC8. To debug this, I'm trying to use Steven Watanabe's template profiler. Unfortunately, I've been unable to run it successfully on my code. After some casting about I found [1] which resolved some initial problems, it seems. As a sanity check, I tried the following: ncrookston: ~/boost/tools/profile_templates/test $ bjam toolset=msvc error: Unable to find file or target named error: '/boost//regex' error: referred from project at error: '../src I'm definitely not a bjam/boost-build expert. Does anyone have suggestions on how I can fix this? My platform: XP 32-bit using VIsual Studio 2005 (VC8) Thanks, Nate [1] <http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2009/05/152016.php>

The "FSM" parameter of on_entry (and on_exit) for a submachine now will be the containing machine (player), so that submachines' entry and exit conditions get the same parameters as substates. Of course, substates of the submachine still get as FSM parameter the submachine, not the containing machine. As we are still far from the release, we still have time to make this change. Should I have broken somebody's code, please shout ;-) I now moved MSM to the trunk, and all changes are now done there, so you need to get: https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/boost/msm/back/state_machine.hpp (it is also in the sandbox, just in case). Thanks for the report, Christophe

Need example of substitution of priority queue
by Eric Fowler 22 May '10

22 May '10

I wish to run a breadth_first_search() on a graph where I am defining the priority queue (I have a hand-rolled sort order). Is there any reason I cannot use std::priority_queue<> to do this? Does anyone have an example, or know of one in the docs? Thanks Eric

Re: [Boost-users] boost/numeric/ublas/matrix_sparse.hpp does not play well with RICE
by John O. Woods 22 May '10

22 May '10

I have partially resolved the issue. I deleted all boost libraries and headers from my machine and clean re-compiled and installed 1.43. I can now compile with unordered_map successfully. I suspect the compiler was using one version of the libraries and a different version of the headers. Unfortunately, I still cannot #include <boost/numeric/ublas/matrix_sparse.hpp> while also including rice/Data_Type and rice/Constructor. The #undefs Steven recommended don't appear to make a difference. I've included the current code below. It compiles perfectly if I comment the first line. If I replace the Data_Type.hpp header with a different rice header, it still doesn't work -- I've tried Class.hpp, String.hpp, Object.hpp, and Constructor.hpp. FYI, here's the address for rice: http://rice.rubyforge.org/main.html Thanks again, John #include <rice/Data_Type.hpp> #include <boost/numeric/ublas/matrix_sparse.hpp> int main() { return 0; } $ make g++ -I. -I. -I/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i486-linux -I. -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -I/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rice-1.3.2/ruby/lib/include -fPIC -fno-strict-aliasing -g -g -O2 -fPIC -Wall -g -c main.cpp In file included from /usr/local/include/boost/numeric/ublas/storage_sparse.hpp:23, from /usr/local/include/boost/numeric/ublas/vector_sparse.hpp:16, from /usr/local/include/boost/numeric/ublas/matrix_sparse.hpp:16, from main.cpp:2: /usr/local/include/boost/numeric/ublas/storage.hpp:60: error: expected primary-expression before ‘)’ token /usr/local/include/boost/numeric/ublas/storage.hpp:65: error: expected primary-expression before ‘)’ token /usr/local/include/boost/numeric/ublas/storage.hpp:79: error: expected primary-expression before ‘)’ token /usr/local/include/boost/numeric/ublas/storage.hpp: In member function ‘typename ALLOC::size_type boost::numeric::ublas::unbounded_array<T, ALLOC>::max_size() const’: /usr/local/include/boost/numeric/ublas/storage.hpp:174: error: expected primary-expression before ‘)’ token /usr/local/include/boost/numeric/ublas/storage.hpp:174: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘ruby_xmalloc’ /usr/local/include/boost/numeric/ublas/storage.hpp:174: error: expected primary-expression before ‘)’ token /usr/local/include/boost/numeric/ublas/storage.hpp: In member function ‘typename ALLOC::size_type boost::numeric::ublas::bounded_array<T, N, ALLOC>::max_size() const’: /usr/local/include/boost/numeric/ublas/storage.hpp:357: error: expected primary-expression before ‘)’ token /usr/local/include/boost/numeric/ublas/storage.hpp:357: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘ruby_xmalloc’ /usr/local/include/boost/numeric/ublas/storage.hpp:357: error: expected primary-expression before ‘)’ token In file included from /usr/local/include/boost/numeric/ublas/vector_sparse.hpp:16, from /usr/local/include/boost/numeric/ublas/matrix_sparse.hpp:16, from main.cpp:2: /usr/local/include/boost/numeric/ublas/storage_sparse.hpp: At global scope: /usr/local/include/boost/numeric/ublas/storage_sparse.hpp:240: error: expected primary-expression before ‘)’ token make: *** [main.o] Error 1

Boost.MPI 1.43.0 and openmpi 1.4.2 problems
by Benjamin Behringer 22 May '10

22 May '10

Hi, I'm new to boost and openmpi. I'm on a Mac installed the newest version of openmpi through "port" and compiled boost by myself. There is also an openmpi version coming with my Mac in version 1.2.8. I tried to compile and run a small sample but ran into different problems. So the following example won't work for me with openmpi 1.4.2 (through port) but with openmpi 1.2.8: #include <boost/mpi.hpp> #include <iostream> #include <string> #include <boost/serialization/string.hpp> namespace mpi = boost::mpi; int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { mpi::environment env(argc, argv); mpi::communicator world; if (world.rank() == 0) { world.send(1, 0, std::string("Hello")); std::string msg; world.recv(1, 1, msg); std::cout << msg << "!" << std::endl; } else { std::string msg; world.recv(0, 0, msg); std::cout << msg << ", "; std::cout.flush(); world.send(0, 1, std::string("world")); } return 0; } I compiled with (1.4.2): openmpic++ boost_mpi_test.cpp -lboost_mpi -lboost_serialization -o boost_mpi_test Running that test says: openmpirun -np 2 boost_mpi_test *** The MPI_Pack_size() function was called before MPI_INIT was invoked. *** This is disallowed by the MPI standard. *** Your MPI job will now abort. [pillepalleben:54081] Abort before MPI_INIT completed successfully; not able to guarantee that all other processes were killed! *** The MPI_Pack_size() function was called before MPI_INIT was invoked. *** This is disallowed by the MPI standard. *** Your MPI job will now abort.

boost::unit_test main function problem
by Tamas Nagy 22 May '10

22 May '10

Hello! I have a test.cpp file: #define BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK #define BOOST_TEST_MODULE Hello // nothing It contains nothing, but the 2 defines. I have a long Makefile of a large project. I copied the Makefile of the large project to the _unittest dir. I modified the paths in the Makefile to the proper paths. The large project has a main.cpp, which has a main() function. If i want to compile with the boost::unit_test, actually the test.cpp, it says: In file included from ../_unittest/src/test.cpp:31: ../_prog/src/main.cpp: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’: ../_prog/src/main.cpp:603 error: redefinition of ‘int main(int, char**)’ /usr/include/boost/test/unit_test.hpp:57: error: ‘int main(int, char**)’ previously defined here make: *** [../_unittest/src/test.o] Error 1 So the problem is, that there are 2 entry points. main.cpp cannot be modified to contain only the functions to be tested, because a large project relies on it. So the ideal solution would be let the original project code untouched, create a test binary that tests the functions from the large project. I'm a beginner the boost::test, can you help me solve this problem? Tamas

[accumulators] Is there a reset function yet?
by Tim Odenthal 21 May '10

21 May '10

Hi! I just discovered this nice functionality in boost, but while trying something as simple as calculating a mean from a set of numbers, I hit a strange drawback: It seems to be impossible to use the same accumulator again for a different set of numbers, because I cannot clear/ reset it. I found some old (ok, March 2009) discussions about this, but nothing in the documentation. By the way, does the accumulator do something to prevent an overflow when I add up everything into one variable? And does it prevent a loss of precision, when at a late stage the variable I sum everything into is very big, but the thing I add is very small? Maybe it would be a good idea to mention this in the documentation, as well... Many thanks in advance for any help Tim

[msm] submachine interaction
by Gordon Smith 21 May '10

21 May '10

Hello - I've created a state machine in MSM successfully, but cannot figure out how to interact with a submachine state object. Using the tutorial machine in "Defining a submachine", can a playlist be provided to Playing? I'd like to call a constructor, or a 2 stage init function of Playing, but haven't figure out how. I could use the "FSM" parameter of the on_entry method of the submachine to pull the playlist, but it appears that FSM is the submachine itself (Playing), not the containing machine (Player) as it is for regular states. Thanks for you help, Gordon Smith

recursive variant with mpl::vector
by Surya Kiran Gullapalli 21 May '10

21 May '10

Hello all, I'm trying to create a recursive variant over an MPL vector.<http://?shva=1#drafts/128ba01f42cb2169> attached is the code. I'm trying to add a templated function isType, which will return true if the type stored in variant is the type queried for or false otherwise. This doesn't work for recursive types. In the example, I expect the program outputs "Map Type" because the type stored in the variant is a map. but it says the type is not map. The problem is mpl::contains returns false for map type. (The type stored in mpl vector is boost::recursive_wrapper< map ... >, where as, I'm querying for map...). what is the way forward from here. Thanks, Surya.

[serialization] Is it possible to force newer boost-serialization to be compatible with older versions?

Hello, I implementing client-server application. Data sent between sites are serialized using boost-serialization as text archive. Unfortunately very often both client and server work on different operating systems and may be compiled with different boost versions :- ( I noticed that when boost-library versions are different on server and client, then archive_exception is thrown with message ""unsupported version". Is there a way to force serialization library to be compatible with older versions, e.g. by calling: archive.set_library_version() ? Regards, Mariusz Wojtysiak

[iostreams] boost::ostreams::file_descriptor_sink closing file handle
by Scott Quiring 20 May '10

20 May '10

Hi, I'm using file_descriptor_sink to obtain a stream to a given file handle. It's important that the file remain open past the lifetime of that object, so I send in false as the second parameter to the constructor (close_on_exit). It seems the file is being closed anyway. Here is an example: #include <iostream> #include <boost/iostreams/stream.hpp> #include <boost/iostreams/device/file_descriptor.hpp> int main(int argc, const char *argv[]) { std::cout << "foo" << std::endl; { boost::iostreams::stream<boost::iostreams::file_descriptor_sink> stream(fileno(stdout), false); stream << "bar" << std::endl; } std::cout << "baz" << std::endl; return 0; } Here we expect foo bar baz to be written, when only foo bar is written. Note that the output is the same regardless of whether true or false is sent into the constructor. Is this a boost bug, or is there something I'm missing here? I'm using gcc 4.3.4 on Ubuntu 10.04 if that makes any difference. Thanks, Scott Quiring

Hi there, Cross-posted this to the RICE listserv, but they cannot reproduce. I can reproduce it on karmic and lucid (ubuntu), separate machines, in boost 1.43.0. RICE is a C++ interface for Ruby (not unlike boost python). If I include boost numeric ublas matrix_sparse and either rice/Data_Type.hpp or rice/Constructor.hpp, I get a lot of errors -- even if I do nothing with them.

[MPL] what is my base class?
by John Dlugosz 20 May '10

20 May '10

I'm writing a class template, say C<T>, that has essentially different features depending on a classification of type T. So, I implemented Ca and Cb as befitting the two categories, and then make that transparent to the user by making a stub for C that inherits from either of those two, using boost::mpl::if_ to choose between them. However, the constructors have to be brought down manually. To "inherit" them, they need to be forwarded to the base class: C (...args...) : Ca (...args...) {} The problem is, I can't easily name the base class here in the base initialization list. I'm not even sure repeating the if_ metaexpression here would work, since the init list doesn't even like typedefs but wants the literal name of the class. Did I paint myself into a corner?

Is this the correct way to validate a regex expression? bool validateExpression(std::string e) { using namespace boost; return !expression.empty() && !regex(e, regex_constants::no_except).empty(); } This passes all of my existing unit tests except for the following strings which boost::regex reports as valid. "[[[A-Z]]" "[A-Z]??" Both Qt's QRegExp and http://www.regexplanet.com/simple/index.html report the first is invalid. Qt's QRegExp reports the second as invalid, while http://www.regexplanet.com/simple/index.html report it as valid. Is boost::regex right or remiss? Is there a better on line regex validator? Thanks, Jeff
