boost::geometry::index::rtree with different CoordinateSystem
by Ola Martin Lykkja 08 Mar '14

08 Mar '14

Hi, I am trying to build a rtree index with a collection if waypoint (about 30.000) each represented by longitude and latitude. When I use Cartesian coordinates rtree.query works as expected. However the results are slightly wrong because of my use of longitude,latitude in the cartesian domain. I then tried to refine the datatypes to use spherical_equatorial and geographic CoordinateSystem. Now I encounter two problems: a) With geographic, it does not compile. b) With spherical_equatorial query(nearest) gives clearly wrong results. Do you have any clues on what I am doing wrong? Attached is two images illustrating the query results. Search target is dot with label on it. I am using boost 1.55.0 on Linux with g++ 4.4.3 (same result with 4.6.3). typedef bg::model::point<double, 2, bg::cs::cartesian> geo_point; typedef bg::model::point<double, 2, bg::cs::spherical_equatorial<bg::degree> > geo_point_with_wrong_results; typedef bg::model::point<double, 2, bg::cs::geographic<bg::degree> > geo_point_does_not_compile; typedef std::pair<geo_point, unsigned int> geo_vg_value; void test() { iterate_over_all_waypoints (wp) { geo_point pt(wp->on, wp->lat); rtree.insert(std::make_pair(pt, wp->id)); } std::vector<geo_vg_value> result; geo_point here(targetLat, targetLat); rtree.query(bgi::nearest(here, 20), std::back_inserter(result)); } Kind regards, Ola Martin

don't give template arguments to make_iterator_range
by Matei David 07 Mar '14

07 Mar '14

Hi, I recently came across an issue with make_iterator_range(), which is used to externally construct iterator_range objects. The problem is that if a template argument is explicitly specified, gcc 4.8.2 refuses to compile the code. In the meantime, clang 3.4 compiles it without warnings. This runs contrary to the intuition that specifying a template argument can only help (speed up) compilation. You might want to make a note about this in the documentation to Boost Range: "Don't give an explicit template argument to make_iterator_range! If you do, the program will be ill-formed!" The heavily simplified problem is explained here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22258054/c-inconsistency-between-gcc-and… The internal Boost Range details are the following. As described here: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/range/doc/html/range/reference/ut… make_iterator_range has 5 overloads, all of which are template functions. Consider the 1st and 4th overloads: template <typename It> iterator_range<It> make_iterator_range(It, It); template <typename R> iterator_range<typename range_iterator<R>::type> make_iterator_range(Range&, typename range_difference<R>::type, typename range_difference<R>::type); The problem occurs if I write something like: Some_Iterator it; auto r = make_iterator_range<Some_Iterator>(it, it); Specifically, when gcc encounters this call to make_iterator_range, for a reason I don't fully understand (but others do, see the reply on SO), it does not eliminate the 2nd overload listed above from consideration, and instead it tries to instantiate the bogus type range_iterator<R> with R=Some_Iterator. I say "bogus" because the template argument of range_iterator is meant to be a range, not an iterator. In turn, this triggers a compilation error. In the meantime, clang happily eliminates the 2nd overload, probably based on the fact that it needs 3 arguments, not 2 as are given in the call. The problem disappears if I don't give an explicit template argument: auto r = make_iterator_range(it, it); even though the correct overload is indeed the first one, with argument Some_Iterator. Apparently giving an explicit template argument at that point makes the program ill-formed. I don't fully understand why, but see the SO comments. M

boost::tribool "if ( someTriboolVar == indeterminate )" semantics is confusing
by Peter Hackett 06 Mar '14

06 Mar '14

I started using tribool recently. I just discovered that I was using it incorrectly. I had code that did something like: tribool triboolVar1 = indeterminate; if ( triboolVar1 == indeterminate ) { cout << "triboolVar1 is indeterminate" << endl; } else { cout << "triboolVar1 is NOT indeterminate" << endl; } I was expecting this to print "triboolVar1 is indeterminate". However it prints "triboolVar1 is NOT indeterminate". I ended up looking through "include/boost/logic/tribool.hpp" and after a bit of head scratching, I think I understand why this doesn't do what I expect: The above "if" line is "really" (pseudo-code): if ( operator==(tribool triboolVar1,tribool indeterminate) ) { where operator== returns a tribool, and (I think) tribool::operator safe_bool() const { return value == true_value? &dummy::nonnull : 0; } is used to turn the tribool into a bool. And give that operator== says: ... if (indeterminate(x) || indeterminate(y)) return indeterminate; ... Then clearly no matter what the value of triboolVar1 is, the "if" code will be false. I haven't had any schooling in what (I'm assuming) might be called something like "Multi-Level-Logic", but: Shouldn't an "indeterminate" value equal another "indeterminate" value? -- Peter Hackett Member of Technical Staff IC Manage http://icmanage.com phone (408) 358-8191 x6012

Boost Serialization Difference in Archive Versions
by Lynn Gilbert 06 Mar '14

06 Mar '14

Hope everyone is doing well. I'm having an issue with boost serialization. I have serialized a file on my ODroid U2 using Boost v1.53. I'm trying to deserialize the file on a computer which only has Boost v1.46; however, line 7 below causes the following error: CMyClass Exception thrown: unsupported version Code: 1 void CMyClass::enableDeserialize(std::string file, bool binary) { 2 filename = file ; 3 isBinary = binary ; 4 ifs = new std::ifstream(file.c_str()) ; 5 try { 6 if (isBinary) { 7 CMyClass::ib = new boost::archive::binary_iarchive(*ifs) ; 8 } else { 9 CMyClass::ia = new boost::archive::text_iarchive(*ifs) ; 10 } 11 } catch (boost::archive::archive_exception e) { 12 std::cout << "CMyClass Exception thrown: " << e.what() << std::endl ; 13 } 14 } The boost archive version for v1.53 (version I serialized with) is 10 and the boost archive version for v1.46 (the version I'm trying to deserialize with) is 9. Boost documentation hasn't helped me determine the differences between the 2 archive versions. I've only been able to find answers for how to deserialize an older archive. Please note, I don't do anything with BOOST_CLASS_VERSION. CMyClass hasn't changed at all. I can't imagine boost can handle the deserialization of a newer archive so I don't feel like I'm missing that answer. What I need to know if if there is a way I can serialize in v1.53 based on boost archive version 9 instead of 10. I'm hoping the new version of boost will still allow me to serialize at an older version. Then, I should be able to deserialize the archive just fine. Any advice you could provide is much appreciated! -- Lynn Coddington Gilbert Partner, Robotic Paradigm Systems www.roboticparadigmsystems.com www.facebook.com/RoboticParadigmSystems lynn(a)roboticparadigmsystems.com 678-428-0935

CMake and Boost
by Koteswara Rao Ruvva 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

Hello All, I built boost libraries with the option build-type=complete and created libraries for various options, like gcc54-mt, gcc45-mt-d, gcc45-mt-s, gcc-54mt-sd etc. I have similar ones for intel toolchain too. Now, how do I force CMake to link to the correct library file out of many versions? Do I have to specify the full library name? Or can I specify the build type, like debug, multi-threading etc and leave the CMake to choose the right file to link? Is there such an option? I'm building on Linux under gcc and intel compilers and keeping both gcc and intel library files in one folder. Thank you all for being there to help the community. --Kotesh

relocation R_X86_64_32 against
by Koteswara Rao Ruvva 04 Mar '14

04 Mar '14

Hello All, I'm a newbie to this mailing list. I am trying to build static boost libraries and link to my libraries. I used ./bjam debug link=static cxxflags="-std=c++0x" stage to build the boost libraries. When I build my libraries (shared or static) with linking to boost libraries, I get the following error: libboost_regex.a(instances.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.bss' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC libboost_regex.a: could not read symbols: Bad value Then I tried adding -fPIC while building my boost libraries. Didn't help. Any suggestions. Thank you Kotesh

[Boost.Log] logging only in a debug build
by Sean Farrow 03 Mar '14

03 Mar '14

Hi, Is there a way with Boost.Log to have logging code emitted in a debug build but completely removed for release. The only way I can come up with is to have #if defs and #endif's scattered throughout the code. Has anyone come up with a better way? Any help appreciated. Kind Regards Sean.
