boost::lambda::bind - how to address the member variable in the expression?
by Archie14 20 May '10

20 May '10

Example: struct A { int i; }; class C { public: void store(int i); }; boost::ptr_vector<A> lst; C c; std::for_each (lst.begin(), lst.end(), boost::lambda::bind(&C::store, c, boost::lambda::_1.i)); Question: construct boost::lambda::_1.i is invalid. I understand why it is so, but can't find a way to reference member variable in this case. Any advise or referral to the specific paragraph in boost::lambda documentation is appreciated. Thanks.

[iostreams]Can I write data directly to the device of a stream?
by Comet 20 May '10

20 May '10

Hi, I assumed that stream wrote data directly to it's associated device, but after a few tests I found I was wrong. I wrote this code snippet: <--- Code ---> int main() { using namespace std; using namespace boost::iostreams; string src; src.assign(10 * 1024, 'a'); size_t size = src.size(); // ContainerDevice is from boost::iostreams::example typedef ContainerDevice<std::vector<char> > MyDevice; vector<char> container; string str; container.reserve(size); str.reserve(size); for (size_t i = 0; i < 1000000; ++i) { // Version 1 MyDevice device(container); stream<MyDevice> io(device); io.write(src.c_str(), src.size()); io.flush(); container.clear(); // Version 2 #if 0 str.insert(str.end(), src.begin(), src.end()); container.insert(container.end(), str.begin(), str.end()); str.clear(); container.clear(); #endif } return 0; } <--- Code-End ---> The first version(write data to the device by stream) is slower than the second(copy data, then copy again to device), so I guess stream do some unnecessary copy operations (eg: copy data to inner buffer, then copy again from buffer to device). I tried replacing stream<MyDevice> io(device); with stream<MyDevice> io(device, 0, 0); to set inner buffer size to 0, but the result was much more slower. I set a breakpoint at ContainerDevice::write(const char_type* data, std::streamsize n) then found n passed was always 1, which means every call wrote only 1 byte. If there is a way to write data directly to the device, my program will be very efficient. thanks.

[thread] Getting the current thread object
by Postal Peon 20 May '10

20 May '10

Is there a call to get the current running thread object? (e.g. boost::this_thread::instance()). I think some older boost release had the ability to get the current thread via the default constructor (prior to 1.34). Arnold

[BGL] VertexProperties as a Nested Type
by Hossein Haeri 19 May '10

19 May '10

Dear all, What is my chance to get VertexProperties back in adjacency_list<OutEdgeList, VertexList, Directed, VertexProperties, EdgeProperties, GraphProperties, EdgeList> as a nested type? So, for example: typedef adjacency_list<vecS, vecS, directedS, string> graph_type; where VertexProperties == string. What nested type can I use to get to string from graph_type? It would have made a lot of sense for example if the following piece of code worked: typedef graph_traits<graph_type>::vertex_type my_type; and, as a result, my_type == string. Is a similar thing possible? TIA, --Hossein

Re: [Boost-users] [BGL] Is adjacency_iterator not Equality Comparable?
by Hossein Haeri 19 May '10

19 May '10

Dear Jeremiah, > Could you please send a complete program that I can try to compile here? Please find a minimalist (but different) example in the attachments. I currently do know what's wrong but it's probably still better for my next question to attach the file. Consider the following line in my attached code: iterator pos = find(begin, end, "3"); I know that this line doesn't compile because the value type of vertex iterator is not necessarily the same as VertexProperties. But, then, is there a simple way to find the vertex iterator that points to "3"? (I mean something as succinct as the above line of code. I DO already know that it's possible to pass an ugly function object to help find(). But, that's far too ugly.) TIA, --Hossein

Hi guys, im trying to add boost in a C++ project on Mac OS X for a while, but im stuck with reference errors.

Bug in darwin.jam of boost 1.43 prevents Mac OS X backwards compatibility
by Manfred Schwind 19 May '10

19 May '10

After debugging problem that my app did not launch on older Mac OS X versions, I figured out that darwin.jam of boost 1.43 has a nasty bug: These lines: case mac* : { flags darwin.compile OPTIONS <macosx-version-min>$(version-feature) : -miphoneos-version-min=$(version[2-]:J=.) ; flags darwin.link OPTIONS <macosx-version-min>$(version-feature) : -miphoneos-version-min=$(version[2-]:J=.) ; } Should be: case mac* : { flags darwin.compile OPTIONS <macosx-version-min>$(version-feature) : -mmacosx-version-min=$(version[2-]:J=.) ; flags darwin.link OPTIONS <macosx-version-min>$(version-feature) : -mmacosx-version-min=$(version[2-]:J=.) ; } ("macosx" instead of "iphoneos". Seems to be a copy&paste bug.) To get backwards compatible binaries it's essential to pass the appropriate -mmacosx-version-min option to the compiler. But because of this bug, this option was never passed, so my built boost libraries where not backwards compatible. It took me a whole day to figure this out. First I checked all my build settings of my app. The bjam build settings looked OK, so it was not obvious that the boost libraries were the cause of all the trouble. Just wanted to let you know, in case other people have the same problem.

[MPL] - for_each operators with decision branching
by Noah Roberts 19 May '10

19 May '10

I have a project in which I use these things I call "records" to attach data to edges and vertexes in a boost::graph. They are visitable (acyclic visitor described by Alexandrescu) and I have metafunctions that will take their most derived type and give me a list of "fields" that they contain. I can then write generic processors to do things like build editors for them or perform operations that can effect any field of a particular type or concept. Thus I often find myself using mpl::for_each and writing things like this: struct operator { template < typename MetaField > void operator()(MetaField const&, boost::enable_if< some_test >::type * = 0); template < typename MetaField > void operator()(MetaField const&, boost::disable_if<some_test>::type * = 0); }; I imagine that this is common enough that there may already be a utility to write things like this but I don't see one in the docs. Is it out there? What about something that would make this type of thing easy: struct operator { template < typename MetaField > void operator()(MetaField const&, boost::enable_if< test_a >::type * = 0); template < typename MetaField > void operator()(MetaField const&, boost::enable_if< and_< not_ <test_a>, test_b>>::type * = 0) void operator()(MetaField const&, boost::enable_if<not_<or_<test_a, test_b>>>::type * = 0); }; That's supposed to be an if, elseif, else construct. -- http://crazyeddiecpp.blogspot.com/

Boost.Regex Can't compile / link programs..
by John Mc Murray 19 May '10

19 May '10

Hello all, I am trying to evaluate boost, I've heard some good things about it... I've managed to set it up mostly successfully. On boosts page: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#get-… I've managed to compile the first program which does not use any separately compiled libs.. When I try to compile the second program which uses the regex lib, I get a link error... There are many link errors, but I am only posting the first one from gcc's output: C:\DOCUME~1\John\LOCALS~1\Temp\ccgmT8rw.o:reg.cpp:(.text$_ZN5boost9re_detail27cpp_regex_traits_char_layerIcEC2ERKNS0_21cpp_regex_traits_baseIcEE[boost::re_detail::cpp_regex_traits_char_layer<char>::cpp_regex_traits_char_layer(boost::re_detail::cpp_regex_traits_base<char> const&)]+0x55): undefined reference to `boost::re_detail::cpp_regex_traits_char_layer<char>::init()' When I comment out the 3 lines in the code snippet below (marked with //comment out), but I leave the one line boost::smatch matches; it does compile..

boost::any, string conversion and serialization

How to get a string representation of of boost::any value? for example, is the following approach correct? boost::any t(2); std::string str = boost::any_cast<std::string>(t); In addition, from searching archieves I understand that there is no serialization for boost::any. Currently I plan to examine "name" in type_info returned from boost::any::type() and serialize accordingly. I'll appreciate any advise for better approach.

Problems linking statically under linux
by Vial, Florent 19 May '10

19 May '10

Hi all, I recently need to link my application statically to the boost libraries. I am on a RHEL 5.3 (x86_64) system and compiling/linking with gcc 4.1.2. I built my boost 1.43.0 static libraries using follwing command line: ./bjam --build-dir="/tmp/boost_143.gcc41" threading=multi link=static runtime-link=static --prefix="/usr/local/boost1430-gcc41" --without-mpi --without-python --without-serialization --without-test --without-wave address-model=64 -d+2 --layout=tagged cxxflags="-fPIC -pipe -march=nocona -msse2 -pthread -Wno-multichar -DLINUX" My tools/build/v2/user-config.jam contains only using gcc ; I'll just take the example of the thread library for describing my problem. I can see that the all the wished libraries built fine, with a typical compile line being: "g++" -ftemplate-depth-128 -O3 -finline-functions -Wno-inline -Wall -pthread -m64 -fPIC -pipe -march=nocona -msse2 -pthread -Wno-multichar -DLINUX -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1 -DBOOST_THREAD_BUILD_LIB=1 -DBOOST_THREAD_POSIX -DNDEBUG -I"." -c -o "/tmp/boost_143.build.gcc41/boost/bin.v2/libs/thread/build/gcc-4.1.2/rel ease/address-model-64/link-static/runtime-link-static/threading-multi/pt hread/thread.o" "libs/thread/src/pthread/thread.cpp" When i "su" and add "install" to the bjam command line above, all files install properly and /usr/local/boost1430-gcc41/lib is populated with static libraries like libboost_thread-mt-s.a Now i build my library that uses the boost thread library. A typical compile line is : /usr/bin/g++ -Wall -g -O3 -g -g -pipe -march=nocona -msse2 -pthread -Wno-multichar -DLINUX -fPIC -pthread -c -o obj/myfile.o myfile.cpp -I../include -I./ -I/usr/local/boost1430-gcc41/include/boost-1_43 -I/usr/local/cppunit1121-gcc41/include -I../include/mylib AR ../lib/libmylib.a Now i try to build the unit test for that library using : ar -rsc ../lib/libmylib.a obj/myfile.o LD /home/florent/dev/mylib/MylibTestMain /usr/bin/g++ -o /home/florent/dev/mylib/MylibTestMain obj/MylibTestMain.o obj/AUnitTest.o obj/AnotherUnitTest.o -L../lib -lmylib -L/usr/local/cppunit1121-gcc41/lib -lcppunit -ldl -L/usr/local/lib64 -L/usr/local/boost1430-gcc41/lib -lboost_thread-mt-s And i get a lot of undefined references: obj/AUnitTest.o: In function `AUnitTest::testAFunction()': undefined reference to `boost::thread_group::thread_group()' undefined reference to `boost::thread_group::join_all()' undefined reference to `boost::thread_group::~thread_group()' undefined reference to `boost::mutex::~mutex()' ... <snip> So my question is: how do i link properly statically with the boost libraries ? Is there any defined that i should be aware of while compiling my unit tests ? Thank you in advance, Florent Arnold & Richter Cine Technik GmbH & Co.

Serialization: C4308 warning with MSVC9
by Political Confusion 19 May '10

19 May '10

I'm using Boost 1.43 with MSVC9 SP1 and Windows SDK v7 on Windows 7. I've created a class like the "A Very Simple Case" example (i.e. added 'access' as friend and a templated serialize function). In serialize, I just archive 10 ints (signed and unsigned). It compiles fine, but when I add program code to save my class to a text_oarchive, I get a warning: c:\third-party\boost_1_43_0\boost\mpl\print.hpp(51) : warning C4308: negative integral constant converted to unsigned type Line 51 of print.hpp is: enum { n = sizeof(T) + -1 }; Calling sizeof() on my class gives a 44. I do not get any warning when I load my class with text_iarchive. And both save and load appear to work fine.

BoostCon 2011 Hotel Reservation Billing
by David Abrahams 19 May '10

19 May '10

FYI, last year the Meadows' move to an automated reservation system caused some issues with the amount people were charged for reservations. After inquiring specifically into billing for 2011 reservations, this is what I heard back from Doug Crawford: > I met with our reservations team. > For your group, we'll go back to manual deposits. > Aspen Meadows will agree to the following: > Room reservations will be accepted with 1 night deposit > > Balance due 30 days prior to arrival > > Reservations made 30 days or less prior to arrival will be > charged in full. > > Standard reservations cancellations policies apply - > reservations are non refuncable less than 14 days of arrival. ^----------------sounds intriguing, but I think this is meant to say “non-refundable.” ;-) Cheers, -- Dave Abrahams Meet me at BoostCon: http://www.boostcon.com BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

Spirit: parsing tab separated values and no_skip
by Mauricio Gomes 18 May '10

18 May '10

Hi Harmut, Did you uncomment the line: //#include <boost/spirit/include/qi_no_skip.hpp> ? It is commented out in the code below. If I include this line, compilation fails. You also have to check optimizations because the code below is not using no_skip[] in the grammar so there is a chance that a smart compiler that is not in debug mode might ignore the non-used code. In my case I am in debug mode, no optmizations and including the qi_no_skip.hpp header suffices to get the error. Thanks for your attention ! 1.

BoostCon 2011 Dates and Hotel Discount (this week only!)
by David Abrahams 18 May '10

18 May '10

Hi All, BoostCon #4 was a resounding success, with 95 registrants—attendance holding steady in the face of a poor economy—and nothing but smiles all ’round. One participant was heard to say “after last year, I thought about not coming because I was sure nothing could possibly be cooler that experience, but this is even better.” I'll have more to say about the event soon, but for now a couple important details about next year: 1. Next year, BoostCon is scheduled a week later: May 15-20, 2011 which avoids a conflict with Mother's Day, a perennial issue for some attendees… and is a bit less likely to bring us snow ;-) 2. Because BoostCon has been an excellent regular customer, the Aspen Meadows is offering a $20/night discount for any Boost participant who books on or before **this Friday**, May 21 2010. After taxes, etc., that's more than a $100 savings. Use the following link to make your reservation: https://resweb.passkey.com/Resweb.do?mode=welcome_ei_new&eventID=2547965&fr… Lastly, the Meadows wants you to know that your companies or universities are welcome back for other meetings, and requests that, if you had a good hotel experience this year, you please post positive feedback on http://tripadvisor.com. See you next year, if not before! Cheers, -- Dave Abrahams Meet me at BoostCon: http://www.boostcon.com BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

That should just copy > the memory into the return value for the stack? It's fine to return a stack variable, but it may not be fine to memcpy into it, depending on how ether_header is defined and whether this->size may exceed sizeof(ether_header). To investigate further, you might want to look at the stack backtrace when the segfault occurs. Your shared_ptr use seems fine, so it's probably ~Frame that is crashing (unless there is memory damage).

[BGL] Is adjacency_iterator not Equality Comparable?
by Hossein Haeri 18 May '10

18 May '10

Dear all, [Boost 1.42, GCC 3.4.5 under MinGW in WinXP] I have a piece of program like this: typedef graph_type::adjacency_iterator iterator; iterator begin, end; boost::tie(begin, end) = boost::adjacent_vertices(curr_, *graph_ptr_); //... ArrFreq nextArr = l.front(); //... iterator i = find(begin, end, nextArr); And, I get the error message in the P.S. once I try the last line above. I was wondering if that's because: 1) adjacency_iterator is not equality comparable. Or, 2) the value type of adjacency_iterator is not comparable with the graph's vertex type. Or, 3) even something else?

The shared_ptr is a class that _wraps_ another pointer (whether valid or not) and keeps a reference count to how many other variables are using the pointer. The following line: if (rx) is only testing if the wrapper is valid, NOT the actual pointer itself that is being wrapped. What you really want is: If (rx.get() != NULL) -- Mike Jackson

The back of the processing_queue will then become rx do to the assignment and that shared ptrs reference count will be increased by one. Anyone know what my misconception is? Any idea what's causing the segfault?

[date-time] converting milliseconds to time_duration - overflow issue
by Johan Ditmar 18 May '10

18 May '10

Hello, When I convert a (large) number of milliseconds to a time_duration, I noticed a truncation error. This is shown in the following example: BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(test_time_duration) { static const boost::posix_time::ptime ref(boost::gregorian::date(1400,1,1)); static const boost::posix_time::ptime now(boost::gregorian::date(2010,5,18)); boost::int64_t elapsed = (now-ref).total_milliseconds(); boost::posix_time::time_duration d1 = boost::posix_time::millisec(elapsed); BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL(d1.total_milliseconds(), elapsed); } error in "test_time_duration": check d1.total_milliseconds() == elapsed failed [814839926290 != 19261584000000] This is caused by an overflow issue in the constructor of subsecond_duration (called by boost::posix_time::millisec): template<class base_duration, boost::int64_t frac_of_second> class subsecond_duration : public base_duration { public: typedef typename base_duration::traits_type traits_type; explicit subsecond_duration(boost::int64_t ss) : base_duration(0,0,0,ss*traits_type::res_adjust()/frac_of_second) {} }; Shouldn't this constructor check whether traits_type::res_adjust()>frac_of_second and then do “base_duration(0,0,0,ss*(traits_type::res_adjust()/frac_of_second))” (note the brackets)? Thanks, Johan _________________________________________________________________ http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/195013117/direct/01/

Boost + Android NDK
by NuSkooler 18 May '10

18 May '10

I've searched the archives quite a bit and haven't run into any answers to this -- if I'm missing something please let me know. I've been working on getting Boost to work with the Android NDK (modified "Crystax" version with RTTI & exceptions) under Cygwin. I now have it working, but what I've come up with seems to be very messy and a couple of the modifications break the standard Linux build. I'm hoping someone can provide pointers to clean this up a bit (and/or this may be useful to anyone out there trying to do the same thing). Step 1: I had to build bjam.exe under Cygwin. This required the following simple patch: --- c:\Unzipped\boost-build\jam_src\expand.c 2007-09-30 23:12:48.000000000 -0600 +++ c:\dev\ghoti\client\external\boost-build\jam_src\expand.c 2010-04-29 14:25:38.322025800 -0600 @@ -749,7 +749,7 @@ assert(l != 0); assert(list_next(l) == 0); # ifdef OS_CYGWIN - assert( !strcmp( l->string, "c:\\foo\\bar" ) ); + //assert( !strcmp( l->string, "c:\\foo\\bar" ) ); # else assert( !strcmp( l->string, cygpath ) ); # endif Step 2: Build Boost under Cygwin against the modified NDK: user-config.jam - Added this entry: # Android ARM Linux Compiler using gcc : arm : /cygdrive/c/dev/ghoti/client/external/android/android-ndk-r3-crystax/build/prebuilt/windows/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi-g++ : \ <cxxflags>-I$NDK_ROOT/build/platforms/android-5/arch-arm/usr/include/ \ <cflags>-nostdlib \ <cxxflags>-DBOOST_THREAD_LINUX \ <cxxflags>-DBOOST_HAS_PTHREADS \ <cxxflags>-pthread \ <cxxflags>-D__arm__ \ <cxxflags>-D_REENTRANT \ <cxxflags>-D_GLIBCXX__PTHREADS \ <cxxflags>-DBOOST_HAS_GETTIMEOFDAY \ <cxxflags>-DBOOST_HAS_THREADS \ <cxxflags>-DANDROID \ <cxxflags>--sysroot=$NDK_ROOT/build/platforms/android-5/arch-arm <cxxflags>-D__NEW__ \ <cxxflags>-D__SGI_STL_INTERNAL_PAIR_H \ <cxxflags>-fno-short-enums \ <architecture>arm \ <linkflags>-lc \ <linkflags>-nostdlib \ <linkflags>-Wl,-rpath-link=$NDK_ROOT/build/platforms/android-5/arch-arm/usr/lib/ \ <linkflags>-L$NDK_ROOT/build/platforms/android-5/arch-arm/usr/lib/ \ ; Don't need to link in librt: --- c:\Unzipped\boost_1_42_0\tools\build\v2\tools\gcc.jam 2009-10-28 01:47:51.602868000 -0600 +++ c:\dev\ghoti\client\external\boost_1_42_0\tools\build\v2\tools\gcc.jam 2010-04-30 15:37:39.383973800 -0600 @@ -906,7 +906,8 @@ case * : { option = -pthread ; - libs = rt ; + # BDA: + #libs = rt ; } } ----- --- c:\Unzipped\boost_1_42_0\tools\build\v2\tools\stlport.jam 2009-05-22 05:36:46.841847000 -0600 +++ c:\dev\ghoti\client\external\boost_1_42_0\tools\build\v2\tools\stlport.jam 2010-04-30 15:30:31.864521000 -0600 @@ -198,7 +198,9 @@ # name: stlport_<toolset>(_stldebug)? local name = stlport ; - name = $(name)_$(toolset) ; + # BDA: + #name = $(name)_$(toolset) ; + if [ feature.get-values <runtime-debugging> : $(raw) ] = "on" { name = $(name)_stldebug ; Building: bjam toolset=gcc-arm target-os=linux stdlib=stlport define=_LITTLE_ENDIAN Again, all of this seems very messy.

An error in MTL4(Matrix template Library).Can anyone with kindness help me?
by fmingu 18 May '10

18 May '10

I am using Dev-C++ with gcc 4.4.1 and boost 1.37.0 and MTL 4 (MTLVERSION 4\nMTLRELEASE beta-1\nMTLREVISION 6916 ) for matrix computation. And my code is the following : #define MATRIXCOLS 3 #define MATRIXROWS 3 #include <boost/numeric/mtl/mtl.hpp> using namespace mtl; using namespace mtl::matrix; typedef dense2D<double> Matrix; typedef dense_vector<double> Vec; ................................. using namespace mtl; using namespace mtl::matrix; const unsigned xd= 2, yd= 5, n= xd * yd; Matrix Kk(n,n),Hk(n,n),Rk(n,n);hessian_setup(Kk, 3.0);hessian_setup(Hk, 3.0); Rk=trans(Hk); Vec hxkk_1(n,0.0),zk(n,0.0),hxkk(n,0.0),hxkk_11(n,0.0); hxkk=zk-Hk*hxkk_1; hxkk= Kk*hxkk; //the * line ............................... and it is complied OK. But when it ran to the (*) line the result is : This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way, please contact the application's support team for more information. I found that the mailinglist in http://osl.iu.edu/research/mtl/mtl4/ is quite a place that almost no letters. When I use hxkk*=Kk; instead of the * line,even it can not be complied. So I write letter here for any experts to give me some advices. Can any one with kindness help me?

shared_ptr question
by David Michael Bond 18 May '10

18 May '10

Hello, I am learning shared_ptrs and I am running into a segfault. I'm fairly certain it's because of some misunderstanding I have. Here is some code. I have altered it to just so the relevant data: ---- START CODE ---- std::deque<boost::shared_ptr<Frame> > processing_queue ; void this_is_called() { boost::shared_ptr<Frame> rx ; interface->open( "eth0" ) ; while( running ) { interface->rx_frame( this->processing_queue ) ; if( !processing_queue.empty( ) ) { rx = processing_queue.back( ) ; if( rx ) { std::cout << "Received Frame of Ethertype " << ntohs( rx->get_ether_header( ).ether_type ) << "." << std::endl ; } } } } } // rx frame from interface and add onto processing_queue boost::shared_ptr<Frame> last_rx_frame ; // (CLASSXX member) void CLASSXX::rx_frame( std::deque<boost::shared_ptr<Frame> >& processing_queue ) { // Do some stuff to receive frame.. (int size= # bytes in frame) last_rx_frame.reset(new Frame( )) ; last_rx_frame->bytes.reset( new u_char[size]) ; memcpy( last_rx_frame->bytes.get(), frame_bytes, size) ; last_rx_frame->size = size ; processing_queue.push_back( this->last_rx_frame ) ; } ---- END CODE ---- The program receives one frame and successful and outputs it: Received Frame of Ethertype 0x800. But the second time when it gets to 'rx = processing_queue.back( ) ;' I have a segfault. My understanding of shared_ptrs is that when this assignment is done rx will have its ref count decremented (possibly leading to it being deleted). The back of the processing_queue will then become rx do to the assignment and that shared ptrs reference count will be increased by one. Anyone know what my misconception is? Any idea what's causing the segfault? Thanks! -David

Please help with rebuild on Windows
by John Dlugosz 18 May '10

18 May '10

I want to use the program-options library, and the copy of boost used by this application suite is 1.38. Using Visual Studio 2008, debug build, the resulting program crashes in the variables_map constructor. My assumption is that the compiler options don't match: in particular, a stupid thing called _HAS_ITERATOR_DEBUGGING=0 is infectious as it causes the STL to generate different code and different sized objects. The layout of the boost files doesn't match the documentation, in that bjam.exe is in a subdirectory, and there is no such thing as bootstrap. Anyway, I try: D:\boost_1_38_0> bin\bjam link=static threading=multi variant=debug toolset=msvc-9.0 --define=_HAS_ITERATOR_DEBUGGING=0 Libs\program_options\build and it indeed makes a file with the same name as the one my program is linking to: libboost_program_options-vc90-mt-gd-1_38.lib, which I copy over the original. It made no difference. I don't think that's the specific problem, though, since it crashes on the constructor, not on some later usage from a different translation unit. The call tree is: foo.exe!std::_Tree<std::_Tmap_traits<std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> >,boost::program_options::variable_value,std::less<std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> > >,std::allocator<std::pair<std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> > const ,boost::program_options::variable_value> >,0> >::_Init() Line 1180 + 0xe bytes foo.exe!std::_Tree<std::_Tmap_traits<std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> >,boost::program_options::variable_value,std::less<std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> > >,std::allocator<std::pair<std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> > const ,boost::program_options::variable_value> >,0> >::_Tree<std::_Tmap_traits<std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> >,boost::program_options::variable_value,std::less<std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> > >,std::allocator<std::pair<std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> > const ,boost::program_options::variable_value> >,0> >(const std::less<std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> > > & _Parg=less, const std::allocator<std::pair<std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> > const ,boost::program_options::variable_value> > & _Al={...}) Line 511 foo.exe!std::map<std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> >,boost::program_options::variable_value,std::less<std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> > >,std::allocator<std::pair<std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> > const ,boost::program_options::variable_value> > >::map<std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> >,boost::program_options::variable_value,std::less<std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> > >,std::allocator<std::pair<std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> > const ,boost::program_options::variable_value> > >() Line 104 foo.exe!boost::program_options::variables_map::variables_map() Line 172 + 0x40 bytes foo.exe!main(int argc=1, char * * argv=0x01f84190) Line 179 + 0xb bytes TradeStation Group, Inc. is a publicly-traded holding company (NASDAQ GS: TRAD) of three operating subsidiaries, TradeStation Securities, Inc.

[filesystem] iterator VC 10.0
by Commander Pirx 17 May '10

17 May '10

Hi, I tried to compile the following lines with VC 10: void path_adapter::convert( const boost::filesystem::path& p) { typedef boost::filesystem::path::const_iterator const_path_iterator; for (const_path_iterator pos = p.begin(); pos < p.end(); ++pos) { //... } } and got the error: error C2039: 'distance_to': is not an element of 'boost::filesystem::basic_path<String,Traits>::iterator' Seems to be a problem of the new iterator facade implementation. I had no trouble with this method until Boost 1.43.0. Any idea how to fix this? Pirx!

Glad the post has been helpful -- I probably should have re-tested without the STLPort references. Originally I had been using the standard non-modified NDK and the STLPort from the "ndk-wrappers" posts found on the NDK group. Later I found RTTI and exceptions just too hard to live without and upgraded to the Crystax modified NDK which contains it's own STL (no need for a external STLPort). I'll try re-compiling without any STLPort references now. A android.jam would be great -- So far I've found the jam build system very overwhelming though... I have no clue where to start on something like that. Bryan

That's not the point, make_shared can be used only when the object is created,but what I said is as follows: class Session : public boost::enable_shared_from_this<Session> { public: static void HandleRead(boost::weak_ptr<Session> session, const boost::system::error_code& error, size_t bytes_transferred) { if (session.expired()) return; ... } void Read() { // this line is very slow, // because boost::bind(&Session::HandleRead,shared_from_this(), ...) // causes extra new/delete operations socket_.async_read_some(boost::asio::buffer(...), boost::bind(&Session::HandleRead, shared_from_this(), _1, _2)); ... } void Close() { socket_.close(); } private: boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket socket_; }; std::set<boost::shared_ptr<Session> > session_set; boost::shared_ptr<Session> session = boost::make_shared<Session>(); session_set.insert(session); session->Read(); .... session->Close(); session_set->erase(session); // session is destroyed here, if I replace static void HandleRead(weak_prt ...) with void HandleRead(...) and boost::bind(&Session::HandleRead, shared_from_this()...), with boost::bind(&Session::HandleRead, this, ...); the question I asked emerges: void HandleRead(const boost::system::error_code& error, size_t bytes_transferred) { if (error) //should I erase shared_from_this() from session_set? this object may have been destroyed... } .... session->Close(); session_set->erase(session); // session is destroyed here. if I don't do this here, where should I do ?

>The attached works; however, it just seems a lot of effort for such a simple task. >Anybody have a simpler way? Well, as you said the simpler way is to use the size function provided :-). Also your size implementation is somewhat unsatisfying in the sense that it uses empty which internally uses the library's size (meta)function. In fact I think size has to be implemented as a "core" function (i.e. not built up from other publically available functions) because it is implementation is necessarily quite different for different types of fusion sequence (e.g. array and an MPL sequence). Not an expert, Pete

linking for release, has debug baggage
by Dan Bloomquist 17 May '10

17 May '10

Hi, I have a large project and for what ever reason if I add xpressive.hpp in my precompiled header, it completly kills intelligence. So I figured I'd move the stuff I want to use off to a lib. Works fine in debug but if I build the release, this lib tries to link in the Microsoft debug libs. In my project: 1>mfcs90.lib(nolib.obj) : warning LNK4098: defaultlib 'mfc90d.lib' conflicts with use of other libs; use /NODEFAULTLIB:library 1>mfcs90.lib(nolib.obj) : warning LNK4098: defaultlib 'mfcs90d.lib' conflicts with use of other libs; use /NODEFAULTLIB:library and just this one in the test solution: 1>msvcrt.lib(cinitexe.obj) : warning LNK4098: defaultlib 'msvcrtd.lib' conflicts with use of other libs; use /NODEFAULTLIB:library I have been able to recreate the problem in a small solution that should not dependent on my directories other than setting the boost path: <http://lakeweb.net/downloads/RaVpath.zip> (20k) vc 2008 (9.0) boost 1_42 And I don't know, this may have nothing to do with boost, but I have other dlls and libs without this problem. It is coming from 'boost::filesystem' as best as I can determine. And maybe someone has seen this before and knows off the top of their head. Thanks, Dan.

[thread] Reader/Writer starvation
by Jérémy Coulon 17 May '10

17 May '10

Hi, According to the documentation of Boost 1.34 (before the major rewrite of boost::thread), the read/write lock was offering different scheduling policies. Some of those policies were providing a solution to the starvation problem that usually occurs with this kind of lock. http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_34_1/doc/html/thread/concepts.html#thread.c… http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_34_1/doc/html/thread/concepts.html#thread.c… But I don't find any reference to starvation and scheduling policies in the current Boost documentation (1.37). So, I am wondering if this starvation problem is solved in the current boost::thread implementation ? What scheduling policy is actually the default one ? Can the documentation be improved ? Thanks.

So intuitively a compile error is what I would expect here - and I think a literal reading of the documentation agrees because an empty sequence does not satisfy the fusion Sequence concept.

[statechart] transition exception
by Christophe Bourez 16 May '10

16 May '10

Hi, Is it possible to transit<> back to the source state when an exception is thrown by the handler of a transition ? Pls, note that the handler of the transition can be used by several transitions in the state diagram. The state machine, being in a transition, is between two stable states. The exception can be handled by the innermost common outer state (or anyone above). In an handler of this state, is it possible to force transit<> to the source state of the transition that throws the exception ? Or is it possible to manage it differently ? Thank you for your help, Christophe

[MPL] searching a vector at runtime
by Alexander Lamaison 16 May '10

16 May '10

I'm trying to recursively traverse an MPL vector_c but I'm not sure what the base-case type should be. I want to pick a type from a mpl::vector at runtime and use it to dispatch a call to an overloaded function. Basically tag-dispatch with the tags being looked up in an MPL collection. The runtime value is an unsigned it so I just store unsigned ints in a vector_c. Then I want to traverse this vector and compare each item to the runtime value. If I find a match, I want to use it to call an overloaded function. Here's how I'm trying to do it so far: template<typename ID> class message { ... } template<typename Sequence> // MAP is a vector_c struct dispatcher { template<typename T> static result dispatch(T* obj, unsigned int message_id, int arg) { typedef boost::mpl::front<Sequence>::type head; typedef boost::mpl::pop_front<Sequence>::type tail; if (head::value == message_id) return obj->handle(message<head::value>, arg); else return dispatcher<tail>::dispatch(obj, message_id, arg); } }; template<> struct dispatcher<boost::mpl::void_> // WHAT SHOULD THIS TYPE BE? { template<typename T> static result dispatch(T* obj, unsigned int message_id, int arg) { return obj->default_message_handler(message_id, arg); } }; struct handler { result handle(message<MESSAGE1>) { /* do stuff 1 */ } result handle(message<MESSAGE2>) { /* do stuff 2 */ } result default_message_handler(unsigned int id, int arg) {} } I'm stuck on what to make the dispatcher base case which is reached when pop_front is called on a list with one item. At first I though the resulting type was void_ but apparently this doesn't match. I'm new to MPL. Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong here or if there's an altogether better way? Many thanks.

mpl: copy algorithm question
by Hicham Mouline 16 May '10

16 May '10

Hello, I need to copy a range_c into a vector_c because I need to transform that sequence, and I have difficulties transforming range_c . This code works typedef boost::mpl::range_c<std::size_t, 2u, 10> range_t; typedef boost::mpl::vector_c<std::size_t> all_dims1_t; typedef boost::mpl::copy< range_t, boost::mpl::back_inserter<all_dims1_t> >::type all_dims_t; but then I need the 10 to be a template parameter, so I wrap it in this struct template <std::size_t max_dim> struct S { typedef boost::mpl::range_c<std::size_t, 2u, max_dim> range_t; typedef boost::mpl::vector_c<std::size_t> all_dims1_t; typedef boost::mpl::copy< range_t, boost::mpl::back_inserter<all_dims1_t> >::type all_dims_t; }; The error is: error: type 'boost::mpl::copy<...>' is not derived from type 'S<max_dim>' Really strange?

multi_array: once more about a number of dimensions known only at runtime
by Hicham Mouline 16 May '10

16 May '10

Hello, I have been directed to this discussion: http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2009/08/50601.php when I asked this question before. There are interesting solutions from OvermindDL1 and from Jesse Perla. Basically, define a variant over all the possible multi_array types as: template <typename T, std::size_t max_dim > class multi_array_runtime_dims { typedef variant< multi_array<T, 2>, multi_array<T, 3>, ... multi_array<T, max_dim> > type; }; Setting up the extents can be done at runtime as well. I wonder if there has been further thought about the issue, and also what the library designers thinks about it. Regards,

[thread] windows.h threads and boost.thread can work together?
by martabm 16 May '10

16 May '10

Hi everyone. In an existing and large visual c++ application, I want to port threads from windows.h ones (CreateThread function) to boost.thread. Due to the size of the application I must do it progressively, so it means, during a while, the coexistence of windows threads with boost threads. Is it a bad idea? Can they work together? Threads here are synchronized by events and critical sections which also I want to port to boost Condition Variables and Mutexes. I'm using a visual C++ 2008, with win32. Thank you in advance, Marta.

boost iostreams zlib_compressor not compatible with zlib.NET
by Johan Ditmar 16 May '10

16 May '10

Hello, I would like to send compressed data between my C# to a C++ application in ZLIB format. In C++, I use the iostreams::zlib_compressor/zlib_decompressor. In C# I am currently using the ZOutputStream available in the zlib.NET library. First of all, when I compress the same data using both libraries, the results look different: 1.boost::iostreams::zlib_compressor: FF 13 49 48 00 00 01 00 01 00 00 00 63 61 60 60 F8 00 C4 C1 25 45 99 79 E9 23 87 04 00 2.zlib.NET (zlib.ZOutputStream): FF 13 49 48 00 00 01 00 01 00 00 00 78 9C 63 61 60 60 F8 00 C4 C1 25 45 99 79 E9 23 87 04 00 4F 31 63 8D (Note the 78 9C pattern that is present in zlib.NET, but not in boost). Furthermore, when I decompress data in zlib_decompressor that I compressed in zlib.NET, I am not able to read from the stream suggesting something is wrong. It does work when I try to decompress data compressed in the zlib_compressor. Does anybody know what is behind this incompatibility and whether there is an easy solution?

[Program Options] Linking both statically and dynamically
by Anthony Foglia 16 May '10

16 May '10

We are trying to link boost program options both statically and dynamically in an executable but when the executable finishes, it glibc reports a "double free or corruption" error. The odd linking arises because we have a common library for our project with some modifications to program options (in particular a parser with built-in help and version options), but our executable code still refers to program options directly (both because it needs to use functions and classes from program options, and because the code hasn't been updated to use our custom parser.) We are linking dynamically to the system-wide program options library, but our utility library is built and linked to statically. (Our build system is boost-build, which determines the linker line.) Should such a linking be possible? Our workaround is to force all linking to program options to be static, which I think I've figured out. -- Anthony Foglia Princeton Consultants (609) 987-8787 x233

[Asio]Question about error_code when socket::close
by Comet 15 May '10

15 May '10

The documentation says, " Any asynchronous send, receive or connect operations will be cancelled immediately, and will complete with the boost::asio::error::operation_aborted error." Is this the only way that boost::asio::error::operation_aborted be passed to async handlers? I want to distinguish the error_code set by calling socket::close from any other ways (like system error, network error, etc), otherwise, I can't determine whether I should delete the object in async handlers, because some have already been deleted after I call socket::close. If boost::asio::error::operation_aborted definitely means "socket::close is called", I can distinguish this situation. I've tried using boost::weak_ptr with boost::bind,but the performance decrease dramatically. thx.

[MPI] Test Processor Counts
by Belcourt, Kenneth 14 May '10

14 May '10

Hi, While running the trunk tests, we've found that occasionally the system load average jumps up over 100 and occasionally hits 200. As you can imagine for 8 to 32 core systems, this adversely impacts users on those systems. The issue is that I'm running the trunk tests in parallel, usually -j8 to -j32 and when the MPI tests run, we run into the high load problem. Some of the MPI tests run up to 17 processors so the combination of parallel testing and large processor count tests cause this issue. Now the high load average may last for only 5 to 15 minutes or so but this is enough to trigger a sysadmin question asking what I'm up. I'm looking for a solution that wouldn't require significantly reducing testing throughput. Possible solutions might include serializing the execution of the MPI tests using something like the link-semaphore in Boost.Build, reducing the processor counts of the MPI tests, only running the larger tests on unchecked or unknown MPI implementations, setting up an MPI machine file to run the MPI tests off of the local system that built the executable, etc... Any other ideas on how to manage this? Thanks. -- Noel

You also have to check optimizations because the code below is not using no_skip[] in the grammar so there is a chance that a smart compiler that is not in debug mode might ignore the non-used code. In my case I am in debug mode, no optmizations and including the qi_no_skip.hpp header suffices to get the error. Thanks for your attention ! 1.

[signals] What's special about iterators passed to combiners?
by Boris Schaeling 14 May '10

14 May '10

A reader of my book noticed that the sample program at http://en.highscore.de/cpp/boost/src/4.2.8/main.cpp which uses a combiner to return the smallest value of all slot values is buggy. The combiner's implementation is rather simple as iterators are simply forwarded to std::min_element(): template <typename T> struct min_element { typedef T result_type; template <typename InputIterator> T operator()(InputIterator first, InputIterator last) const { return *std::min_element(first, last); } }; As simple as the implementation is: This combiner does not return the smallest value but always the value the first iterator refers to (at least with VC++ 2008 and g++ 4.2.1). This can be easily tested by swapping the return values of the two functions func1() and func2() in the sample program. First I was trying to find a fix - temporarily copying the values to a container is all what is needed: T operator()(InputIterator first, InputIterator last) const { std::vector<T> v(first, last); return *std::min_element(v.begin(), v.end()); } Then I was trying to understand what's special about the iterators. Please look at the following code and guess whether the values printed will be different or not: T operator()(InputIterator first, InputIterator last) const { InputIterator temp = first; ++first; std::cout << *first << std::endl; std::cout << *temp << std::endl; } If you think you get two different values then you'll be as surprised as I am: Both iterators temp and first return the second value in the range [first, last). I can't find any explanation in the Boost.Signals documentation. I wouldn't be surprised though if this is a known issue because there is a sample combiner called maximum used (see http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/doc/html/signals/tutorial.html#id17304…) which doesn't use an algorithm from the C++ standard (I guess intentionally?). Anyway: Is this a bug? If it isn't is there a recommended work-around (apart from temporarily copying values to a container)? Then it's probably not safe to use any C++ standard algorithm in combiners? Could this be added to the FAQ or anywhere else in the Boost.Signals documentation? Boris

[Boost.Units] quantity<unit> problem with template specialisation algorithm?
by Thomas Shorrock 14 May '10

14 May '10

Hello, many thankyous to the developers of Boost.Units and Boost libraries generally, I have been using them for a few years now and this is my first difficulty. I have been having some problems when using template specialisation (g++ 4.4.3) with Boost.Units (Boost 1_42_0). When calling a specialised template function I have found that I need to be very careful with the argument, In short, specialised_templated_function(1.0 * boost::units::si::metre) works fine specialised_templated_function(1 * boost::units::si::metre) specialised function is not found (default tried) This caught me out for a while and so I thought I would report it in case it is a small bug. If this is not a Boost issue then my appologies. In detail, here is the code to reproduce: #include <iostream> #include <boost/units/systems/si.hpp> namespace bu = boost::units; /** Convert arbitrary units into seconds * When a distance is provided, the speed parameter is used to calculate the time. * Otherwise the speed variable is ignored. */ template<class unit> bu::quantity<bu::si::time> any2second(const unit& t, const bu::quantity<bu::si::velocity>& speed =1*bu::si::meters_per_second) { return bu::quantity<bu::si::time>(t); } /* Specialisations for quantity<length> */ template<> bu::quantity<bu::si::time> any2second(const bu::quantity<bu::si::length>& d, const bu::quantity<bu::si::velocity>& speed) { return bu::quantity<bu::si::time>(d / speed); } int main() { //The following use the default function and work fine std::cout<<"any2second(1.0*s) = "<<any2second(1.0*bu::si::second)<<std::endl; std::cout<<"any2second(1*s) = "<<any2second(1*bu::si::second)<<std::endl; //The following uses the specialised function and works fine std::cout<<"any2second(1.0*m) = "<<any2second(1.0*bu::si::metre, 1*bu::si::meters_per_second)<<std::endl; //The following tries to use the defualt function rather than the specialisation. //It does not compile because (correctly) a metre cannot be converted into a second. //std::cout<<"any2second(1*m) = "<<any2second(1*bu::si::metre, 1*bu::si::meters_per_second)<<std::endl; return 0; } Many thanks, Tom The Institute of Cancer Research: Royal Cancer Hospital, a charitable Company Limited by Guarantee, Registered in England under Company No. 534147 with its Registered Office at 123 Old Brompton Road, London SW7 3RP.

[date_time] how to generate a random date?
by Saygin Arkan 14 May '10

14 May '10

Hi, Does boost's date provide a random date generation? Or somehow should I generate my own date and then pass as a parameter? date GeneratorUtils::getRandomDate() { int year, month ,day; day = 1 + rand() % 29; month = 1 + rand() % 11; year = 1980 + rand() % 25; date d(year, month, day); return d; } currently this is my implementation, but sometimes it returns invalid month value. terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost::exception_detail::clone_impl<boost::exception_detail::error_info_injector<boost::gregorian::bad_day_of_month> >' what(): Day of month is not valid for year Probably because of something like 29th Feb or sth like that. I rarely saw that exception. I could modify the code easiy but I just wanted to know that if such a functionality exists? Thanks a lot, I've started to adore boost after uuid & date =) -- Saygin

[proto, fusion] Segfault in for_each
by David A. Greene 14 May '10

14 May '10

I'm using boost 1.42. As part of a proto transform, I am flattening an expression tree of comma operators and sending it to fusion::transform followed by fusion::for_each, something like this: for_each(transform(flatten(expr), func1), func2) I am getting a segmentation fault in for_each. func1 does not appear to be invoked. Program output: Building type list: comma( comma( function( terminal(int_) , terminal(32) ) , function( terminal(float_) , terminal(32) ) ) , function( terminal(int_) , terminal(16) ) ) 3 items Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x0804d52d in boost::proto::result_of::child_c<Builder::Wrapper<boost::proto::exprns_::expr<boost::proto::tag::comma, boost::proto::argsns_::list2<Builder::Wrapper<boost::proto::exprns_::expr<boost::proto::tag::function, boost::proto::argsns_::list2<Builder::Wrapper<boost::proto::exprns_::expr<boost::proto::tag::terminal, boost::proto::argsns_::term<Builder::keyword::int_>, 0l> > const&, Builder::Wrapper<boost::proto::exprns_::expr<boost::proto::tag::terminal, boost::proto::argsns_::term<int const&>, 0l> > >, 2l> > const&, Builder::Wrapper<boost::proto::exprns_::expr<boost::proto::tag::function, boost::proto::argsns_::list2<Builder::Wrapper<boost::proto::exprns_::expr<boost::proto::tag::terminal, boost::proto::argsns_::term<Builder::keyword::float_>, 0l> > const&, Builder::Wrapper<boost::proto::exprns_::expr<boost::proto::tag::terminal, boost::proto::argsns_::term<int const&>, 0l> > >, 2l> > const&>, 2l> > const&, 0l>::call (e=...) at /usr/include/boost/proto/traits.hpp:1544 (gdb) print e $1 = (const Builder::Wrapper<boost::proto::exprns_::expr<boost::proto::tag::comma, boost::proto::argsns_::list2<Builder::Wrapper<boost::proto::exprns_::expr<boost::proto::tag::function, boost::proto::argsns_::list2<Builder::Wrapper<boost::proto::exprns_::expr<boost::proto::tag::terminal, boost::proto::argsns_::term<Builder::keyword::int_>, 0l> > const&, Builder::Wrapper<boost::proto::exprns_::expr<boost::proto::tag::terminal, boost::proto::argsns_::term<int const&>, 0l> > >, 2l> > const&, Builder::Wrapper<boost::proto::exprns_::expr<boost::proto::tag::function, boost::proto::argsns_::list2<Builder::Wrapper<boost::proto::exprns_::expr<boost::proto::tag::terminal, boost::proto::argsns_::term<Builder::keyword::float_>, 0l> > const&, Builder::Wrapper<boost::proto::exprns_::expr<boost::proto::tag::terminal, boost::proto::argsns_::term<int const&>, 0l> > >, 2l> > const&>, 2l> > &) @0x0: <error reading variable> Note the null expression reference. fusion::distance on a begin/end pair from the same sequence works as expected so I believe the sequence is at least well-formed.

Spirit: parsing tab separated values and no_skip compilation error.
by Mauricio Gomes 13 May '10

13 May '10

Hi, I am a beginner with Spirit. I just read the tutorial and I am playing around with some examples. Environment: boost 1.43, Windows Vista, Code::Blocks, mingw, gcc 4.5. My goal is to build a tab separated values parser. If you have an example on how to parse something like: string/t/tdouble/tdouble it would be great. Contiguous tabs should be considered as one tab, not an empty field. To start I just tried to parse a tab separated list of strings but I am having some difficulties. Is there another skip parser to be used instead of space (for full code see the end of the message below) ? I have changed the commas to tabs in the code below but it failed. I guess it was because it was skipping them (space skipper). bool r = phrase_parse(first, last, // Begin grammar ( +(char_ - ',') % ',' ) , // End grammar space, v); This code works with commas but it fails with '\t'. I tried to use no_skip[] but it failed to compile the header #include <boost/spirit/include/qi_no_skip.hpp>: C:\boost_1_43_0\boost\spirit\home\qi\directive\no_skip.hpp|30|error: 'no_skip' is not a member of 'boost::spirit::tag'| For full error message see the end of the message below.

metafunction question
by John Dlugosz 13 May '10

13 May '10

A co-worker mentioned an interesting issue. I thought some metaprogramming, or at least more advanced insight into STL, might apply here. Consider a class derived from an STL collection. It features a special find(x) function that works with his search criteria. It returns an iterator into the collection. There are two forms needed: iterator find(x); const_iterator find(x) const; and the annoying part is that they contain exactly the same code. The implementation uses the inherited iterators and collection features to do the finding. The larger question is, is there a better way to approach that? The immediate question is, my thought of using a template helper requires the return type to be determined based on the constness of the incoming parameter for the collection type. Is there a handy metafunction for that already in existance? --John -silly company footer automatically added, sorry.

>Can anyone tell me why? You need to initialize the base class, not the base class's members. So: class Usedchild:public Used{ public: Usedchild(Matrix inputmatrix, Vec inputvec):Used(inputmatrix,inputvec){}; }; should work. It may also be worth your while to look at a text on C++ syntax before diving too deep into the complicated parts of Boost.

How can I use random library in a class? Can any one with kindness help me? I am using boost(version boost_1_37_0) random library in Dev-C++ with gcc. and the code is: #include "boost/random/normal_distribution.hpp" #include <boost/random.hpp> ................................. class TransferedSignal{ public: TransferedSignal(){ one(0.0,1.0) ; die(rng, one); }; double output(){ return die(); }; private: boost::mt19937 rng; boost::uniform_real<> one; boost::variate_generator<boost::mt19937&, boost::uniform_real<> > die; }; int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { TransferedSignal transferedsignal(); for (int i=0; i<100;i++) transferedsignal.output(); system("PAUSE"); return 0; } But the complier told me that: mainprojectme13.cpp: In constructor 'TransferedSignal::TransferedSignal()': mainprojectme13.cpp:154: error: no matching function for call to 'boost::variate_generator<boost::mt19937&, boost::uniform_real<double> >::variate_generator()' F:/CB2009/boost_1_37_0/boost/random/variate_generator.hpp:97: note: candidates are: boost::variate_generator<Engine, Distribution>::variate_generator(Engine, Distribution) [with Engine = boost::mt19937&, Distribution = boost::uniform_real<double>] F:/CB2009/boost_1_37_0/boost/random/variate_generator.hpp:87: note: boost::variate_generator<boost::mt19937&, boost::uniform_real<double> >::variate_generator(const boost::variate_generator<boost::mt19937&, boost::uniform_real<double> >&) mainprojectme13.cpp:155: error: no match for call to '(boost::uniform_real<double>) (double, double)' mainprojectme13.cpp:156: error: no match for call to '(boost::variate_generator<boost::mt19937&, boost::uniform_real<double> >) (boost::mt19937&, boost::uniform_real<double>&)' F:/CB2009/boost_1_37_0/boost/random/variate_generator.hpp:100: note: candidates are: typename Distribution::result_type boost::variate_generator<Engine, Distribution>::operator()() [with Engine = boost::mt19937&, Distribution = boost::uniform_real<double>] mainprojectme13.cpp: In function 'int main(int, char**)': mainprojectme13.cpp:173: error: request for member 'output' in 'transferedsignal', which is of non-class type 'TransferedSignal()' And I do not know how to solve it.

[thread] Compiling libraries compatible with Boost.Thread using g++ on Linux
by Jorge Moraleda 12 May '10

12 May '10

Dear Boost.Thread experts, I wrote some libraries that are not multithreaded, but are supposed to be reentrant. I am compiling them from source. When I produce an executable that links these static libraries and invokes functions from these libraries from multiple threads via Boost.Threads, valgrind drd reports some race conditions in what appears to be straight forward memory access allocated with calloc. To be clear: the library function allocates some memory with calloc and later releases it. This memory is local to the function. I am wondering if I need to use any especial compiler flags when compiling the static libraries to make sure they are reentrant and compatible with Boost.Thread. In particular should I use or not use "-pthread" when compiling the libraries? Should I use "-pthread" when compiling and linking the final executable? I use gcc version 4.4.4 (Debian 4.4.4-1) and boost 1.42 (compiled from source because I am using Boost.Log). Thank you. Jorge Moraleda

[interprocess][boost 1.42.0] message_queue: mac OSX rosetta cfm app ==> macho dylib ==> macho app
by Jeff Flinn 12 May '10

12 May '10

I'm not able to see a shared message_queue which is created in an OSX mach-o bundled dylib(created with XCode 3.1.2), called from a CFM based app running under Rosetta(created with CodeWarrior 9.x) with a mach-o based app(created with XCode 3.1.2) waiting to receive message(s). I can send messages until the message count maxes out, but am blocked on the receive end. Has anyone else been (un)lucky enough to deal with this situation? I've been searching for info on just how Rosetta works and what it's implications are, without luck. Thanks, Jeff

Termination of breadth first search
by Eric Fowler 12 May '10

12 May '10

I noticed the Boost doc for dijkstra_shortest_paths() <http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/boost/graph/dijkstra_shortest_paths.hpp> says that the algorithm terminates when the priority queue is empty, which implies visiting every vertex, which is not necessary to find the shortest path between two vertices. I would like to use the algorithm to find the shortest path to a known vertex, which means stopping it before the queue is empty. At what point can I (the library client) decide to end a BFS search?

Is there a way to convert from uuid to string in C++? (by the way, I can use the other things such as date d, uuid u etc.) -- H. Saygin Arkan Tampere University of Tech. CS / III - +358466646156

boost::thread - many compiler warnings
by Manfred Schwind 12 May '10

12 May '10

Hi, we are using boost to develp cross-platform stuff. I am the Mac developer. The Mac is a 64 bit Intel machine, development environment is Xcode, of course, using gcc as compiler. To create code as robust as possible I always turn on as many warning levels as possible. Usually I am using this: -Wall -Wextra -Wconversion -Wshorten-64-to-32 This worked great with all basic boost stuff that we've used previously. Now I tried just to include thread.hpp and I get many many compiler warnings! I just do: #include "boost/thread.hpp" The warnings are just two kinds of warnings: 1.) warning: implicit conversion shortens 64-bit value into a 32-bit value 2.) warning: missing initializer for member '...' An example for the first warning can be found in gregorian_calender.ipp (just showing relevant parts): template<typename ymd_type_, typename date_int_type_> BOOST_DATE_TIME_INLINE int gregorian_calendar_base<ymd_type_,date_int_type_>::week_number(const ymd_type& ymd) { ... unsigned long week = (juliantoday + day - julianbegin + 4)/7; if ((week >= 1) && (week <= 52)) { return week; } ... Here's clearly missing a cast to tell the compiler that it's ok to return the unisigned long as int. On most 64 bit systems, long is 64 bit but int is 32 bit. The second warning is caused by the following line in conversion.hpp: std::tm datetm = {}; // zero initialization is needed for extension members, like tm_zone In this line I get the "missing initializer" warning for every member of the struct, e.g. tm::tm_sec, tm::tm_min, tm::tm_hour etc. What's the intension by initializing with empty braces? IMO this is not a standard initialization method. Is there any chance that these errors get fixed? Any ideas how to use thread.hpp without reducing my warning levels? Does anyone have the same problems?

[GIL] does gil::variant<mpl::vector3<A, B, C> > constructor accept instances of gil::variant<mpl::vector2<A, B> > ?
by Nicolas Lelong 12 May '10

12 May '10

Hi ! the question is in the subject, but I can elaborate a bit. I have the set of all views supported by my application, defined as : typedef mpl::vector9< gray8_view_t , rgb8_view_t, bgr8_view_t, rgba8_view_t, bgra8_view_t , rgb32f_view_t, bgr32f_view_t, rgba32f_view_t, bgra32f_view_t > gil_all_views_t; typedef any_image_view<gil_all_views_t> any_view; Then I have a function, reading a file and returning an any_image_view, of a different type : typedef boost::mpl::vector3<boost::gil::gray8_view_t, boost::gil::bgr8_view_t, boost::gil::bgra8_view_t> tga_views_t; typedef boost::gil::any_image_view<tga_views_t> any_tga_view; The ' tga_views_t' is a subset of 'gil_all_views_t'. It seems that I cannot construct an 'any_view' instance, from an 'any_tga_view' ; I receive a bad_cast exception. Is there an existing function or construct I could use for this ? If I'm not mistaken, boost::variant (not the gil one) allow such constructs : it extracts the type of the value contained in the 'foreign' variant, and assigns this value to the new variant. Anyone could tell me what is the rationale behind having a special variant for boost::gil ? performance ? Wouldn't it be easier to replace it by boost::variant ? Thanks is advance, cheers, Nicolas.

[MultiIndex] Visual C++ 10 issue
by Jeremiah Willcock 11 May '10

11 May '10

Are there known problems with MultiIndex on the current VC++ 10 beta? I'm looking in particular at <URL:http://tinyurl.com/39bmudo>. The area around the line VC++ 10 has a problem with (line 276 of distributed_property_map.hpp, the error is on the &std::pair line) is: typedef multi_index::multi_index_container< std::pair<key_type, value_type>, multi_index::indexed_by< multi_index::sequenced<>, multi_index::hashed_unique< multi_index::member<std::pair<key_type, value_type>, key_type, &std::pair<key_type, value_type>::first> > > > ghost_cells_type; and the main error is (full instantiation stack in the link above): D:\boost-test\boost\boost/property_map/parallel/distributed_property_map.hpp(276) : error C2440: 'specialization' : cannot convert from 'boost::detail::parallel::global_descriptor<LocalDescriptor> std::_Pair_base<_Ty1,_Ty2>::* ' to 'boost::detail::parallel::global_descriptor<LocalDescriptor> std::pair<_Ty1,_Ty2>::* ' with [ LocalDescriptor=unsigned int, _Ty1=boost::detail::parallel::global_descriptor<unsigned int>, _Ty2=boost::detail::parallel::global_descriptor<unsigned int> ] Standard conversion from pointer-to-member of base to pointer-to-member of derived is not applied for template arguments What I don't see is where the pointer-to-member of _Pair_base comes from; is that the correct type for the address of a member that's actually from a base class? Or is this a compiler problem? -- Jeremiah Willcock

[date time] Printing Unix time + microsecond offset
by Hauberg 11 May '10

11 May '10

Hi All (I hope I am posting in the right list; if not please tell me where to go.) I would like to be able to print the current time with microsecond accuracy. I can do that using ptime now = microsec_clock::universal_time (); std::cout << to_iso_extended_string (now) << std::endl; However, I would like to print this information in a different format. Specifically, I would like to print Unix time (i.e. number of seconds since midnight January 1, 1970) followed by the number of microseconds between the current time and the printed Unix time. Any ideas on how to do that? Thanks Søren -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/-date-time--Printing-Unix-time-%2B-microsecond-offset… Sent from the Boost - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Tooltips in the documentation
by Daniel Lidström 11 May '10

11 May '10

Hello, the boost documentation is often excellent. It is very nice to see so many libraries being documented in the same way, which makes it a pleasant reading. However, some of it (generated by Quickbook?) show a tooltip at the cursor location. I find it slightly annoying and not very helpful. Is this choice by design or by accident? Does anyone here find the tooltip useful? Maybe I am the only one slightly annoyed by it? Regards, Daniel Lidström Stockholm, Sweden

Regression testing of boost libraries
by Yogesh Arora 10 May '10

10 May '10

Hi I am compiling boost 1.39.0 libraires on sun os. I have just started with using boost libraries and dont have much know about them. I read somewhere that after compilation i can run some regression tests to check if everything has compiled properly or not. When i looked at boost regression test webpage it mentioned that it would download the latest boost code and run the test case on it. However i dont want that, I have a copy of boost 1.39.0 which i have compiled on which i want to run these regression test cases. Is there a way to do that. Also someone mentioned that boost maintains a page on which i can check the status of boost unit test on different platforms, but i could not seem to find it. Can someone provide reference to that page. I am especially interested in status of boost libraires on Sun os with toolset=sun Thanks Yogesh

About Using Boost.Python in msvc9 with /MTd and /MT Runtime Libraries
by Isaac Lascasas 10 May '10

10 May '10

After a quick look at the documentation and user list messages I have found that using Boost.Python with msvc MTd or MT Runtime Libraries may have some problems. My first try with Boost.Python gave me this error: c:\work\src\boost_1_43_0\boost/config/auto_link.hpp(297) : fatal error C1189: #error : "Mixing a dll boost library with a static runtime is a really bad idea..." Then I found that it was possible to use the BOOST_PYTHON_STATIC_LIB macro. This worked fine. I am using python 3.1, I have installed both the x86 and x64 python versions in different directories. Can someone explain me why I need to specify this macro and why "Mixing a dll boost library with a static runtime is a really bad idea"? Regards, Isaac Lascasas.

[Graph] Issue with remove_edge function and subgraphs
by Marcus Fontaine 10 May '10

10 May '10

According to the online documentation, http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_38_0/libs/graph/doc/subgraph.html The remove_edge function when used on a subgraph should, "Remove the edge (u,v) from the subgraph and from all of the ancestors of g in the subgraph tree." In the example I have here, it just seems to remove the edge between vertices 0 and 2 from the ancestor and not the subgraph. Any advice or explanation would be greatly appreciated. #include <iostream> #include <vector> #include <boost/config.hpp> #include <boost/graph/adjacency_list.hpp> #include <boost/graph/subgraph.hpp> using namespace std; using namespace boost; typedef subgraph< adjacency_list<vecS, vecS, undirectedS, property<vertex_index_t, int>, property<edge_index_t, int> > > Graph; int main() { Graph G; add_edge(0, 1, G); add_edge(0, 2, G); add_edge(1, 2, G); add_edge(2, 3, G); add_edge(0, 3, G); Graph subG = G.create_subgraph(); add_vertex(0, subG); add_vertex(1, subG); add_vertex(2, subG); add_vertex(3, subG); remove_edge(subG.global_to_local(2), subG.global_to_local(0) ,subG); graph_traits<Graph>::adjacency_iterator ai; graph_traits<Graph>::adjacency_iterator ai_end; cout << "Adjacent vertices of 0 in G: "; //Should be 1 3, and correctly is so. for(tie(ai, ai_end) = adjacent_vertices(0, G); ai != ai_end; ++ai) { cout << *ai << " "; } cout << endl; cout << "Adjacent vertices of 0 in subG: "; //Should be 1 3, but gives 1 2 3. for(tie(ai, ai_end) = adjacent_vertices(subG.global_to_local(0), subG); ai != ai_end; ++ai) { cout << subG.local_to_global(*ai) << " "; } cout << endl; return 0; }

Serialization of a complex data structure
by Marco Meoni - Sbaush 10 May '10

10 May '10

Hi all. I've to serialize a structure that has as attributes two structures. An example is: struct Example{ Container* results_container; MyMap this_is_a_map; Example(){} ... ... }; where Container* is a pointer to another struct, defined by me, and MyMap is a c++ map. I've tried to serialize it using the shared_ptr example of boost serialization: struct Example{ friend class boost::serialization::access; template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int /* file_version */){ } Container* results_container; MyMap this_is_a_map; Example(){} ... ... }; and in the main i call: boost::shared_ptr<Example> myExample(new Example); ... ... // serialize it { std::ofstream ofs(filename.c_str()); boost::archive::text_oarchive oa(ofs); oa << myExample; } boost::shared_ptr<Example> myNewExample(new Example); { // open the archive std::ifstream ifs(filename.c_str()); boost::archive::text_iarchive ia(ifs); // restore the schedule from the archive ia >> myNewExample; } Now myNewExample is a well format instance of Example, but the attributes are empty. Can anyone help me? I would not have to change all files with nested structures, as are many, not just two as in the example Thanks all. Marco. -- Marco Meoni - Sbaush www.marcomeoni.net

boost::thread condition variables
by Eric J. Holtman 09 May '10

09 May '10

(using windows XP, VS2008) Is there a limit to the number that can be constructed/destructed in a single process over time? I have a loop which was doing while (1) { condition_variable cv; mutex mx; // do some things with cv and mx } that while loop would run maybe 200 or 300 times. Occasionally, I'd get a crash in notify_all (), where it seemed like a handle wasn't valid. When I move the declaration of the variables outside the while loop, this doesn't happen. Now, it's entirely possible that I have some other bizarre race condition. In fact, if my previous years of experience have taught me anything, I will discover that error in the very next session after I hit "send" on this email. However..... is there some limit to constructing/destructing and using up Windows handles that I should know about?

Serialization and std::move
by Brian Wood 09 May '10

09 May '10

B"H I'm doing some research. I grep'ed through the 1.43 version of the libs/serialization directories for uses of std::move and didn't find any. I also looked at the "To Do" section of the documentation and didn't find any mention of move semantics. Does Boost Serialization take advantage of std::move to improve the performance of it's load operations? Something like the following: template <typename B> void Receive(B* buf, vector<deque<string> >& abt1) { uint32_t headCount[2]; buf->Give(headCount[0]); abt1.reserve(abt1.size() + headCount[0]); while (headCount[0] > 0) { --headCount[0]; deque<lil_string> rep4; buf->Give(headCount[1]); while (headCount[1] > 0) { --headCount[1]; string rep5; stringReceive(buf. rep5); rep4.push_back(std::move(rep5)); } abt1.push_back(std::move(rep4)); } } Thanks in advance. -- Brian Wood
