Question about functional operators on bit-ops (~, &, |, ^, +)
by Jeffrey C. Jacobs 08 Sep '02

08 Sep '02

This is more of a newbie question I admit but then that's appropriate here as I understand. :) Really, my question comes down to perhaps ignorance of the ISO spec (need to get around to buying a copy! -- and YES, I know EXACTLY what I'd be getting into! ;) and determine whether this is really just lack of conformance on my compiler's part (you know the one, using Dinkumware 1.0 for 5 years) or an issue addressed by boost. Anyway, cut to the chase: I am looking for unary (binary) functions of this form: // TEMPLATE STRUCT compliment template<class _Ty> struct compliment : std::unary_function<_Ty, _Ty> { inline _Ty operator()(const _Ty& _X) const {return (~_X); } }; // TEMPLATE STRUCT unary_no_op template<class _Ty> struct unary_no_op : std::unary_function<_Ty, _Ty> { inline _Ty operator()(const _Ty& _X) const {return (_X); } }; That is, wrappers for compliment (~), unary positive (+), binary bitwise-and (&), bitwise-or (|) and bitwise-XOR (^) as well as the second concept I listed: the unary_no_op, which though functionally similar to unary "+" is none the less unique in that is really does nothing, where as +_X calls _X.operarot+(). [Yes, I know the "no-op" unary is somewhat silly in its usefulness but I only suggest it for abstraction purposes. I can give an example how it would be useful, but the code would likely be flawed in other senses to I'll reserve that until I need to justify such a construct.] Anyway, so first: Am I just missing something? I don't think the standard defines a "compliment" functional object but if it does, can someone tell me? And if as I believe it's not, given the usefulness of such a template functional object (regardless of boost's Lambda lib), where would I find the definition in boost of such functors listed above? If it's not defined, is there any reason we'd not like to see such an operator standardized? I mean, I'd be happy to do the trivial work of create such a list for boost but then I can only believe if it was wanted it would have been done. Then again, it's wanted by me so I suppose it's not completely unreasonable to expect it to be here but that's a whole other issue. So is there a standard (std:: or boost::) complement class, bitwise_and, etc. that is NOT confused with the ISO646 definitions? Thanks in advance and hope I was clear and did not offend with this possibly silly question. Jeffrey.

Compile problem with boost thread and function libraries.
by Matthew Dempsky 08 Sep '02

08 Sep '02

Trying to compile the example at the bottom of the thread_group page (http://www.boost.org/libs/thread/doc/thread.html#example-thread_group) results in the following error for me: undefined reference to `boost::thread_group::create_thread(boost::function0<void, boost::empty_function_policy, boost::empty_function_mixin, allocator<boost::function_base> > const &)' (I also had to rename the variable count to something else because I was getting a "`int count' redeclared as different kind of symbol" error and change boost::mutex::lock to boost::mutex::scoped_lock.) I linked with -lboost_thread -lpthread -lstlport and am using Debian 3.0 with g++ 2.95.4, stlport 4.5.3, and boost 1.27. -jivera

RE: [Boost-Users] Re: msvc-stlport build problems
by David Resnick 06 Sep '02

06 Sep '02

I've fixed the problem, here's my solution in case anyone else needs it: The problem didn't have to do with the Platform SDK in the end. The configuration that I'm using is MSVC6 SP3 on Windows 2000. The fix was to add : flags msvc-stlport DEFINES : _NTOS_=1 ; to the "special flags for STLport 4.0" block in tools\build\msvc-stlport-tools.jam (line 117, for example). I have a question for jam experts: How can I set this define (_NTOS_=1) from the command line?

Exposing static members using boost.python
by sashan 06 Sep '02

06 Sep '02

Hi Is the correct way to expose static members by writing a wrapper function for them? For example void wrap_fn() { Class::fn(); } . . . this_module.def(wrap_fn, "fn"); Thanks in advance Sashan

array.hpp problem with msvc7 and stlport
by li_lirong 06 Sep '02

06 Sep '02

I got many errors with boost\array.hpp after I chaged to use stlport instead of the one from msvc7. one of these errors is: d:\cpplibs\boost\boost\array.hpp(61) : error C2039: '_Ptrit' : is not a member of '_STL' I have tried to config stlport with STLP_NO_OWN_NAMESPACE and _STLP_DONT_RENAME_STD but the errors still exist. Is it a bug in array.hpp or stlport? Regards, Lirong

ref. to object functions from threads
by Luis De la Parra 06 Sep '02

06 Sep '02

hi all, is there a way to get a reference to the function object used by a boost::thread object?? when you create a new thread and feed it a function object it copies it and then starts a new thread of execution on this object.. well, I would like to send messages to the object in which the thread is running but I don't know how to do it with boos.threads... is there a way to tell boost:thread not to copy the function object but to use it directly?, or to ask the thread object to give a reference to the object? I am now doing a dirty hack which consists of the object putting itself (a pointer) in a static chained list during construction and remove itself in the destructor, this way I can call a static member function which returns this list to get a hold of the object. There is also a static mutex protecting this list to make sure no other objects are created / destructed while one of them is inserting or removing itself from the list. it is working, but I don't think this is a very "clean" approach.. does anyone have any ideas how it could be done better?? thank you. regards, luis.

n-ary ordered tree template in boost ??
by Marc Cromme 06 Sep '02

06 Sep '02

Dear Boost Members I was wondering if there is an n-ary ordered tree template in boost, something like template <size_t N, class Type, class Alloc = allocator<Type > > class NTree which is a standard container, and a reversible container, ordered by level. That is, first element is root, next series of elements are childs of roots, next series are grandchilds of root , and so on. This way one could parse level by level like a reversible container. There should be the obvious member functions for inserting/deleting child nodes and subtrees. As far as I can see, there is not such a template in boost, but the question is then: 1) can it be emulated using the grah library ?? or 2) is there already an proposal/prototype for such a thing ?? or 3) would it be interesting to include such a thing in boost ?? your's sincierely, Marc Cromme

[BGL] 2D/3D layout algorithms

Has anyone adapted any 2D and/or 3D graph layout algorithms to work with Boost ( i.e. minimum crossing etc...). Seems an obvious question, but I did not find anything via searching... Andrew
