shared_ptr Intellisense
by destinati2001 05 Aug '03

05 Aug '03

Hello, Has anyone been able to get IntelliSense member information for the boost::shared_ptr class? I am using Visual Studio.NET 2003. I have setup the boost directory as a subfolder of my project directory. Moreover, I *am* able to obtain Intellisense information for boost::any, any_cast, get_pointer, make_permuation_iterator, permutation_iterator_generator, permutation_iterator_policies, scoped_ptr, signal, and swap. The fact that scoped_ptr works fine makes me wonder why shared_ptr doesn't work. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks, Jeff

boost::tokenizer
by peter 05 Aug '03

05 Aug '03

hi there im trying to tokenize a string where any sort of blank space (' ', or '\t') is a delimiter, and allow having spaces in a token by enclosing it with a single quote (') character... the code below does not work well if i have more than one space characters (' ' or '\t') beside eachother... it simply keeps the token (even though the result is an empty string)... #include <string> #include <vector> #include <boost/tokenizer.hpp> std::vector<std::string> tokenizeStr(const std::string &str) { std::vector<std::string> result; boost::escaped_list_separator<char> sep("", " \t", "'"); boost::tokenizer<boost::escaped_list_separator<char> > tok(str, sep); for(boost::tokenizer<boost::escaped_list_separator<char> >::iterator p=tok.begin(); p!=tok.end(); p++) { result.push_back(static_cast<std::string>(*p)); } return result; } does anyone have any ideas how to make this work without actually going through the list manually and deleting the empty tokens?? by the way, im using boost 1.29 thanks peter

I am getting a link error from [Linker Fatal Error] Fatal: Expected a file name: Borlannd C++ Builder Version 6.0. 4. I get numerous errors from MSVC++. With little help, I am sure to get started soon. Thanks. Sarwan

A Quick Question about Threads
by Paul Grenyer 01 Aug '03

01 Aug '03

Hi All I'm planning on replacing all our (Win32 API Wrapped) threads with the boost threads. I was looking at the thread class interface and there isn't a method to ask if the thread is still running. This is something we use quite a lot in out current wrapper. To get around this I was thinking of using a member variable in the function object that is passed to the thread constructor to indicated whether the thread had finished. Is there a better way? I've not had a really good look at the docs yet, but there doesn't appear to be a Critical Section class. Should I be using the Mutex for synchronisation instead? -- Regards Paul Paul Grenyer Email: pjgrenyer(a)iee.org Web: www.paulgrenyer.co.uk EvaneScence: http://www.evanescence.com

Graph Library: Ordered Vertex List?
by dmatt001 01 Aug '03

01 Aug '03

Hi Guys, I would like to use an ordered vertex list (ie based on property type) in an implementation that I am working on such that duplication can be avoided. I have read and understand how to implement an ordered edge list thanks to the previous posts but am finding it hard to get started! Perhaps I have missed the key example? It appears that from the way config::VertList is constructed that it may be a similar process in nature? adj_list_impl::add_vertex appears to discard the boolean return value from the associative insertion. Would such a construction allow me to avoid the duplication I seek to avoid? I am guessing so, but some advice would give me a confidence "boost". ( <-- It's a lame pun: I really do need help ;-) ) My first steps are below rehashing the excellent ordered edges example with a simple search/replace and maching my target container base. I'll keep plugging along with it anyway and it may just compile one day. Suggestions/Ideas/Refs/Ptrs are appreciated. Matt --- first guess follows --- template <class VertDesc> struct order_by_name : public std::binary_function<VertDesc,VertDesc,bool> { bool operator()(const VertDesc& v1, const VertDesc& v2) const { // Order by vertex name. return boost::get(boost::vertex_name, v1) < boost::get(boost::vertex_name, v2); } }; #if !defined BOOST_NO_TEMPLATE_PARTIAL_SPECIALIZATION struct ordered_set_by_nameS { }; namespace boost { template <class ValueType> struct container_gen<ordered_set_by_nameS, ValueType> { typedef std::set<ValueType, order_by_name<ValueType> > type; }; } #else struct ordered_set_by_nameS { template <class T> struct bind_ { typedef std::multiset<T, order_by_name<T> > type; }; }; namespace boost { template <> struct container_selector<ordered_set_by_nameS> { typedef ordered_set_by_nameS type; }; } #endif

Compile time Problem with boost::type_traits library
by Amit Bhatia 01 Aug '03

01 Aug '03

Hello, I am trying to use the boost::function library which in turn includes many of the headers from other boost libraries. I am using g++ 3.2 with: g++ -c -g -fwritable-strings -Wno-deprecated -static -ansi -pedantic -DANSI_HEADERS -D_G_HAVE_BOOL as the options. The file is_integral.hpp and the file is_convertible.hpp in the type_traits library contain the declarations of the type long long which the ISO C++ seemingly doesn't accept. The compiler gives the warning: ISO C++ does not support `long long' . I don't think there is a new version of this on boost. I downloaded the boost lib sometime in June Version 1.30.0. Can this problem be because of any of the compiler options that I am using? thanking you, regards, amit.

Spirit Sequential-or
by Bruno Martínez 01 Aug '03

01 Aug '03

Hi boosters, In operators.html (a || b) is said to be equivalent to (a | b | a >> b), but, if I understand precedence correctly, it should be equivalent to (a >> b | a | b). I'm just learning Spirit, so this may probably be my mistake, right?

FC++ in Boost, Spirit, Preprocessing
by Jan Kybic 31 Jul '03

31 Jul '03

Hello, I want to write in favor of Boostifying the functional library FC++, which I find very useful. Would a merger with the Phoenix library from Spirit (already in Boost) be feasible? Phoenix seems to have a slightly nicer syntax but lacks (as far as I know) the Haskell prelude functions and lazy list implementation, also the closures do not seem very intuitive to me. My main concern with both FC++ and Phoenix is that when defining new functiods, the user needs to write a lot of often repetitive code. This could be simplified using a suitable preprocessor. Would that be acceptable and are there other people interested ? Yours, Jan -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jan Kybic <kybic(a)ieee.org> tel. +420 2 2435 7264 or <kybic(a)fel.cvut.cz>, http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~kybic

Spirit Parsing Problem
by sps22 31 Jul '03

31 Jul '03

Hi, I am trying to use Spirit (in the latest Boost 1_30_0) for a project. I want to parse a file whose structure is the following: section1 { something; } I am using the file_iterator to iterate on the input file and then define comment as well as the grammar. I am at my wits end why my parser keeps failing. (When this simple grammar works, I want to make the parser more complex.) My code is attached below.

Newbie: Way to convert "pointer-to-member-function" to a "pointer-to-function".
by Amit Bhatia 31 Jul '03

31 Jul '03

Hello All!, I am trying to figure out a way of converting "pointer-to-member-function" to a "pointer-to-function" so that I can pass it as a callback function pointer to constructor of some third party class. I know there is NO direct way of doing this in c++. I am further constrained because of the following facts: 1. The fact that I am using a third party class for whose constructor I need to pass pointers to functions having some specific signature. 2. I don't want to be using static declaration for the method that I wish to pass to the third party constructor as a callback function(due to the fact that static methods can access only access static data members). So if I am not mistaken, then, I suppose, that boost function library might be of help in here by somehow using some elegant tricks' to do this task. (There is the fact also that every instance of my class has lot of data which is different and I need access to the data for the method that I wish to pass). Am I right, or am I looking at the wrong place? If I am indeed looking at the wrong place then where will it be best to look for it. I remember some notes on binding in the documentation of the boost function library though. Thanks in advance, regards, amit.

filesystem::path & wide char strings?
by Cody Batt 30 Jul '03

30 Jul '03

Hello, I want to use the filesystem::path class for a project I'm working on, but I need to support wide character strings in the path names. I might be missing something, but it seems that path only supports std::string. Is this because of a portability issue or what is the rationale for not using something like basic_string<CharType>? Are there any plans to provide support for wide character strings in the future? Thanks, Cody Batt

howto map c++ namespaces using boost::python?
by cavok＠filibusta.crema.unimi.it 30 Jul '03

30 Jul '03

hi all, i'm a newbie user of Boost. i need some suggestions to expose c++ namespaces in python. in python i use classes as namespaces, but using class_ construct to build python classes seems to not be applicable to c++ namesapces. moreover, i have a global c++ object which i'd like to map onto python. it is not that clear to me how i can achieve this result. thanks domenico -----[ Domenico Andreoli, aka cavok --[ http://filibusta.crema.unimi.it/~cavok/gpgkey.asc ---[ 3A0F 2F80 F79C 678A 8936 4FEE 0677 9033 A20E BC50

Boost Bind on MSVC 7.1
by Dale Peakall 30 Jul '03

30 Jul '03

The following example is a very simple, and contrived, example that demonstrates the problem I'm seeing. This fails to compile with 'term does not evaluate to a function taking 1 arguments'. Is this a problem with bind on MSVC 7.1, or have I just forgotton how to use it/what it can do. - Dale. #include <iostream> #include <string> #include <boost/bind.hpp> int my_function(std::string const& value) { return static_cast<int>(value.length()); } int main() { std::string my_string("hello world!"); std::cout << boost::bind<int>(_1, my_string)(my_function); }

Deferred Function Forwarding
by vivek_arora 29 Jul '03

29 Jul '03

I am looking for pointers on how to use boost to implement a set of template classes/helper functions which can be used for deferred function/method call forwarding. Here's an example of illustrating what I wish to accomplish. I can live with restictions on the function argument types. //Define a template type which can capture arguments of any (or most) functions. I believe boost tuple could suit my requirements. //Define a template helper function save_args which constructs a arguments tuple based on the signature of the function passed as the first argument. e.g . R f(T1, T2, T3); boost:tuple<R, T1, T2, T3> args = save_args(f, t1, t2, t3); //Don't want to explicitly specify types like save_args<R,T1,T2,T3> (t1,t2,t3) //Define another template helper function call_with_args which given another function "g" with a signature conforming with "f" and the argument tuple invokes "g" e.g. R g(T1, T2, T3) //This should call g(args.get<0>, args.get<1>, args.get<2>) call_with_args(g, args); Could someone provide ideas, pointers/sample code for implementing save_args, call_with_args helper template functions. Thanks -Vivek Arora

Feature Suggestion
by everwicked 29 Jul '03

29 Jul '03

Hello guys, I have just been introduced to the library by some people at Efnet's #c++ and I have to say there is quite a lot of useful work in there. I hope boost makes it into the standard. It's about time to get a feature rich std library. Want I wanted to ask you is to provide a few more functions in library interval. I was comparing boost with blitz++ as the parts I need at the moment are mainly of scientific nature. Anyways, I found boost more to my likeness because it has other features I might want to use later, because it supports more compilers and lastly because it's API is better organised in my opinion. The functions that I find that are missing from library 'interval' are the ones listed here: http://www.oonumerics.org/blitz/manual/blitz03.html#l77 Is there any chance you could implement them in boost? I wouldn't ask but I think that they are not a lot of work. Thanks in advance. Kind regards, George

Newbie - stack overflow in connected components
by Frank H 28 Jul '03

28 Jul '03

Hello: Environment: Windows 2K, MSVC 6 SP5, Boost 1.30.0 I'm new to BGL ( 2 days experience ) and am trying to use the connected components graph. My implementation seems to be OK for my small test case ( 10 verticies) but when I run my "real data" through it ( 15000 verticies) I get a stack overflow error. I note that there is a patch in the sourceforge CVS for the dfs algoritm which implements a non-recursive solution from dgregor that I understand will avoid the stack overflow. I naively downloaded the "depth_first_search.hpp" V1.35 from the CVS and of course it doesn't compile. The question: "How can I apply the patch to fix the stack problem( ie how to determine what and where are the other files I need or do I download the entire current version ( ie tag MAIN)?" Thanks for any help Frank

<history> <snip/> > ...which refers to lexical_cast.hpp > > template<typename Target, typename Source> > class lexical_stream > { > bool operator<<(const Source &input) > { > here ===> return stream << input; <==== here > } > } <snip/> I'm starting to think this may be related to the 1_30_0 lexical cast problem. Can you upgrade lexical_cast.hpp from cvs? You can download it from here: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi- bin/viewcvs.cgi/boost/boost/boost/lexical_cast.hpp Jeff </history> I downloaded the head this (Monday) morning and replaced the 1_30_0 version. Compile error disappeared. (Sanity check: copied the 'old' version back and compile error re-appears.) Thanks for the help. That was driving me nuts.
