Warning - Format library adds 48 KB
by Tom 05 Jun '03

05 Jun '03

Boost::Format adds 36KB (VC7.1) or 48 KB (VC6) to my release executable! Details: Take one C++ Win32 application which uses both MFC and the VC STL, but not std::string. Optimizations are set for minimum size. In VC7.1 the release exe is 552 KB. Add std::string, adds 4 KB. Add boost::format, adds another 36 KB. (For each I just added one statement.) For VC6 SP5 the release exe is also 552 KB. Add just the '#include's for string & format libraries, adds 20 KB (VC7.1 didn't do this). Add std::string and boost::format, adds another 32 KB. Total added by format is (20 + 32 - 4) = 48. This is not acceptable for my application. Is there a better way to use C-style printf statements with std::string? Tom. (Thanks to Gmane for making this list usenet accessible!)

Can't find a clear example of disallowing parallel edges
by Arthur 05 Jun '03

05 Jun '03

I'm trying to use this graph class without detailed reading. I can't find a decent, clear example of doing this. I have a simple graph: typedef adjacency_list<list, listS, bidirectionalS> Graph; What do I do to prevent parallel edges to be inserted? Thanks for any help offered, Arthur

Deprecated shared_ptr functionality in boost 1.30
by Anders Hybertz 05 Jun '03

05 Jun '03

Hi all I have simplified my previous question about this issue to the following sandbox code. ----------------------------------------------------------------- #include <iostream> #include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp> struct Test : public boost::counted_base { Test() : boost::counted_base( 1, 1 ) { std::cout << "Construction" << std::endl; } ~Test() { std::cout << "Destruction" << std::endl; } }; int main() { { boost::shared_ptr<Test> spTest( new Test ); } // In boost 1.29 the program output is : // Construction return 0; }----------------------------------------------------------------- Under boost 1.29.0 the program only writes out the text from the construction of the Test object - the destructor is never being called. I want the same functionality under boost 1.30.0 - but without changing any code in then main function - basically preserving the interface. I tried to used the boost::detail::sp_counted_base under 1.30.0 but that did not work. Any ideas ? Thanks in advance Anders Hybertz

norm_inf type-related error
by cerenoc 05 Jun '03

05 Jun '03

Can somebody help me with this? The following simple piece of code compiles fine if m, v, and s are declared as type <double> but not for type <int> as shown. Why is that? Can I cast vectors and matrices from int to double easily? ...define some matrix <int>m... boost::numeric::ublas::vector<int> v = row(m, 1); int s = norm_inf(v); The complaint is as follows: /tmp/ccA7KBD2.o: In function `boost::numeric::ublas::type_traits<int>::norm_inf(int const &)': /tmp/ccA7KBD2.o (.boost::numeric::ublas::type_traits<int>::gnu.linkonce.t.norm_inf (int const &)+0x12): undefined reference to `boost::numeric::ublas::type_traits<int>::imag(int const &)' /tmp/ccA7KBD2.o (.boost::numeric::ublas::type_traits<int>::gnu.linkonce.t.norm_inf (int const &)+0x21): undefined reference to `boost::numeric::ublas::type_traits<int>::abs(int const &)' /tmp/ccA7KBD2.o (.boost::numeric::ublas::type_traits<int>::gnu.linkonce.t.norm_inf (int const &)+0x31): undefined reference to `boost::numeric::ublas::type_traits<int>::real(int const &)' /tmp/ccA7KBD2.o (.boost::numeric::ublas::type_traits<int>::gnu.linkonce.t.norm_inf (int const &)+0x40): undefined reference to `boost::numeric::ublas::type_traits<int>::abs(int const &)' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Thanks, Julian

I'm pretty sure I've seen sample code at www.boost.org that's pretty close to being a tutorial for using the thread library but I can't for the life of me find it. Anyone got a link?

Multi-array usage problem - Bug or me?

I also had the assignment statements as [1-2][1-6] with no change in the output for [1][2] and [2][1]. Any help greatly appreciated on this since it is really confusing me. I found that using the documention wasn'te much help since it seems to contain errors. I had to look in the examples to see that fortran_storage_order was a function that needed the parenthesis, since the doc left them out in the text. But the examples had them. Dave

Enabling boost::date_time::posix_time::nanosec().
by adutoit 03 Jun '03

03 Jun '03

Hi. Is there a quick way to determine whether one's operating system supports the nanosecond precision clock? Also; I realise that BOOST_DATE_TIME_HAS_NANOSECONDS needs to be defined to use nanosec() method. But; should I be able (if my operating system supports it) to define support for nanosecond time resolution at installation time? I.e. would it suffice to use a bjam commandline parameter defining nanosecond support when building the Boost date_time libraries? Also; how do I configure nanosecond support for subsequent compilation of programs which use Boost and require nanosecond posix_time resolution? Greetings, Andre.

Maybe it is possilbe to solve > this problme in > more elegant way? First step is to send a complaint (or enhancement request, if you prefer :=) to OpenInventor - any new types they introduce should be wrapped in their own namespace. Also, if #undef really *does* work, then that means either your compiler is buggy (#undef should only work on macros, not typedefs), or OpenInventor are using a #define, not a typedef - double penalty points for that! (well, I suppose if it's a C library, that _might_ be acceptable. Barely.) If it is a #define, you could try wrapping the OpenInventor headers in another header: // Wrapper file for using OpenInventor with Boost [include guard #ifdefs] #include "OpenInventorHeader.h" #undef int64_t #endif // #include guard In any source file that uses both Boost and OpenInventor, include the wrapper header instead of the OpenInventor header. You'll want to check for any include order problems, i.e. you may have to ensure all Boost headers are included after all OpenInventor headers. Subtle issue, though - could this violate the ODR (One Definition Rule)? I think we'd have to see exactly how OpenInventor defines/typedefs int64_t to be sure. Other possible solutions: - Decouple Boost and OpenInventor, by wrapping the OpenInventor objects you are using in proxy objects. The proxies will use an opaque handle to the OpenInventor objects. Use these proxy objects wherever you currently use OpenInventor. This, by the way, has the advantage of decoupling your application from OpenInventor, allowing you the option to move to a different library if you ever decide that should be necessary. - If OpenInventor's int64_t is a typedef, put it inside an OpenInventor namespace (this probably won't work if you do not have the source code to OI in order to rebuild the binaries). If it's not a typedef, then make it a typedef in an OpenInventor namespace (same caveats). - If OpenInventor really does use a typedef, and if the typedef is inside an OI namespace, then hunt down and destroy any using directives (i.e. "using namespace OI;" or "using OI::whatever;") in any headers, and move any using directives inside your source files *after* all #include directives. If you find a "using namespace" directive in any of the OpenInclude directives, then that's triple penalty points against them, and definite cause for a complaint (not an enhancement request :=). - [radical solution, probably unrealistic] change library vendors, and be sure to tell OI why you are dropping them (because they don't play well with everyone else). - <sigh> change library vendors, and be sure to tell Boost why you are dropping them :=( Boost plays nicely - int64_t is a typedef, and it is declared inside namespace boost. -- Jim

No more than 10 types in boost::tuple?
by Tarjei Knapstad 02 Jun '03

02 Jun '03

I tried constructing a tuple with 12 types today without much luck. I've read through the headers to see if there was any obvious way of getting around the 10 limit but couldn't find one (I half expected to find something along the way of vectorxx<>, in MPL). Am I being stupid, or is there really no way of constructing a tuple with more than 10 elements? Also, are there any plans of integrating and/or making boost::tuple dependant on the MPL? I realize that tuple predates the MPL, but there's no use in duplicating efforts. boost::tuple has it's own compile time IF<> and also provides it's own typelist class which are both readily available in the MPL. Cheers, -- Tarjei

How to compile jam.exe with Visual Studio .NET (Win2000) where to download it?
by rasasenkuviene 01 Jun '03

01 Jun '03

I was trying to build boost-jam and boost-build executable with build.bat in Visual Studio .NET (Windows 2000) from downloaded sources. However, ended with single non-functional jam0.exe and truncated to zero length my own compiler cl.exe from Visual Studio .NET. Nmake coul'nt be used, because makefiles were not included. What is going on? How to compile or obtain needed boost-jam or boost-build executables under Windows2000? Or this BOOST is intended for UNIX only?

Newbee Questions on Directory Structure of Boost Libs.
by Adalbert Perbandt 01 Jun '03

01 Jun '03

Hi there, I'm new to Boost and have some problems understanding the way Boost libs. are built and installed. I downloaded boost_1_30_0. unpacked the archive and built the test library (I had installed bjam previously). I did the build step on two different platforms and with different compilers: - On Linux (RedHat 7.3) with gcc/3.2.2 and - on Sun SPARC Solaris 2.7 with Sun's Forte 6.2 compiler. I created an installation directory /opt/boost_1.30.0. Into this directory I copied the directory tree below boost/test and libs/test: /opt/boost_1.30.0/boost/test/... /opt/boost_1.30.0/libs/test/... I think so far everything is correct, isn't it? I do not completely understand the directory structure generated during the build process: ../boost_1_30_0/libs/test/build/bin/libboost_prg_exec_monitor.a /libboost_prg_exec_monitor.so /libboost_test_exec_monitor.a /libboost_test_exec_monitor.so /libboost_unit_test_framework.a /libboost_unit_test_framework.so Below the directories given above a specific subdirectory tree was created. Example: .../libboost_prg_exec_monitor.a/ /sunpro/ /debug/ /runtime-link-dynamic/ /runtime-link-static/ /threading-multi/libboost_prg_exec_monitor.a /threading-single/libboost_prg_exec_monitor.a >From this I conclude: 1. The builds are separated from each other in compiler specific subdirectory trees, e.g. the "sunpro" subtree contains the build results from $ bjam "-sTOOLS=sunpro" i.e. the sun forte 6.2 compiler and the "gcc" subtree contains the build results from $ bjam "-sTOOLS=gcc" i.e. the gcc 3.2.2 compiler on Linux. Obviously there is no separation by OS platform (Solaris or Linux). What would I have to do to build the lib. with gcc on Solaris? Where would the products be installed? Furthermore there is no separation by compiler version (e.g. gcc 2.95.2 is not separated from gcc 3.2.2). Is this considered unnecessary? 2. The libs were built with debug symbols (-g option) only), correct? I'm not familiar with jam and therefore don't know what to do to get them built with optimization active. It seems to me as if this should be rather simple because in ../boost_1_30_0/tools/build/sunpro-tools.jam obviously two variants of the CFLAGS variable for optimization are defined: flags sunpro CFLAGS <optimization>speed : -fast -O4 ; flags sunpro CFLAGS <optimization>space : -O2 -xspace ; Any hints are welcome. Thanks, Adalbert Perbandt.

Using Bind with Signals (version 2)
by Darren Vincent Hart 30 May '03

30 May '03

Similar to my last post, this is a slightly different implementation where the handler has a signal of its own. Now I can't seem to bind to the handler functor, getting a compiler message like: /usr/include/boost/bind.hpp:60: error: `bool (handler::*)(char)' is not a class, struct, or union type The goal is that when the keypress signal is emitted, it will execute the handler which will receive the char (key), test it, and emit its signal (sig) if appropriate. Any help would again be much appreciated, the short code follow, with the problematic bind statement commented: Thanks in advance, Darren Hart compile: g++ test.cpp -o test -lboost_signals // test.cpp ---------------------------------------------------- #include <iostream> #include <boost/signal.hpp> #include <boost/function.hpp> #include <boost/bind.hpp> #include <boost/bind/apply.hpp> using namespace std; struct widget { boost::signal<bool ()> sig; boost::signal<bool (char)> keypress; bool test() { cout << "widget::test() - sig empty: " << (sig.empty() ? "true" : "false") << endl; sig(); return true; } }; struct handler { char key_; boost::signal<bool ()> sig; handler(char key) : key_(key) { } bool operator()(char key) { cout << "handler::operator() - received a " << key << endl; if (!sig.empty() && key == key_) { cout << "\texecuting slot\n\t"; sig(); } cout << endl; return true; } }; struct no_op { bool operator()() { cout << "no_op::operator() - doing nothing" << endl; return true; } bool test() { cout << "no_op::test()" << endl; return true; } }; int main() { // instantiate two widgets widget widget_a; widget widget_b; // instanstiate the functions object (and test them) no_op no_op_; handler handler_a('A'); handler_a.sig.connect(no_op_); no_op_(); handler_a('A'); // connect the function objects to the widgets widget_a.sig.connect(no_op_); // THE PROBLEM IS HERE - HOW DO I BIND TO handler_a.test(char) ? widget_b.keypress.connect( boost::bind(&handler::operator(), &handler_a) ); // END PROBLEM cout << "signalling widget_b.keypress('B')" << endl; widget_b.keypress('B'); // call the handler 3 times, but never execute its slot cout << "\nsignalling widget_b.keypress('A')" << endl; widget_b.keypress('A'); // call the handler 3 times, executing the slot return 0; }

Any ideas what that is all about ? Please change every 'F f' to 'F & f' in boost/bind/apply.hpp; this will take care of the problem. I've already updated the CVS version. The problem is that a signal is noncopyable and cannot be passed by value.

Using Bind on Signals
by Darren Vincent Hart 30 May '03

30 May '03

I am building a widget set using the signals and slots library. I have the need to be able create a functor (FA) that receives another (FB) as an argument to its constructor. I will connect FA to the signal of a widget, when FA is run it will perform a test and execute FB if appropriate. I want to be able to use the signal member of another widget as FB, so I am trying to use bind to get that function object for the signal. I am experiencing two problems: 1) When the member functor (FB) is bound to the signal of another widget, the slots don't get called. (No error results, but the connected slot doesn't print anything so I am assuming it isn't being executed). 2) I can't get it to compile when the signal has a <bool ()> signature, I can only get it to compile with a <void ()> signature. I am trying to assign the result of bind to a boost::function<bool ()> but I get an error saying it can't make the conversion, what type should I be using if not boost::function (note that it works if the signal is void())? The following is a commented test_case demonstrating the problem. Any assistance in binding to signals and compiling those with a bool() signature would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Darren Hart compile with: g++ test.cpp -o test -lboost_signals // test.cpp ---------------------------------------------------------- #include <iostream> #include <boost/signal.hpp> #include <boost/function.hpp> #include <boost/bind.hpp> using namespace std; struct widget { boost::signal<bool ()> sig; boost::signal<bool (char)> keypress; bool test() { cout << "widget::test() - sig empty: " << (sig.empty() ?

RE: [Boost-Users] Regex: matching either of 2 fields, in any order
by john.wismar＠alldata.com 30 May '03

30 May '03

The detail I'm concerned about -- and it may not be a problem because I may be overlooking something -- is that the string I'm matching against can have zero or one 'C' field and zero or one 'O' fields. It looks like the "C(\\d+)|O(\\w+)" expression will match either of them if at least one is present, but after that, I would need optionally to match the other one. Matching the same field again would be an error. In other words: ~C12345~OF <-- valid (1 of each) ~OF <-- valid (1 'O' field) ~C12345 <-- valid (1 'C' field) ~ZAQ~C12345 <-- valid (1 'C' field) ~OV~C67890 <-- valid (1 of each) ~A23~OV~DFG~C67890~ZAQ <-- valid (1 of each) ~A23~DFG <-- valid (neither) ~C12345~OF~C67890 <-- invalid (2 'C' fields) ~C12345~OF~OV <-- invalid (2 'O' fields) ~ASD~C12345~OF~OV <-- invalid (2 'O' fields) Thanks again for your help!! ------------------------------ John Wismar BSA - AllData Offline Products john.wismar(a)alldata.com > -----Original Message----- > From: John Maddock [mailto:john_maddock@compuserve.com] > Sent: Friday, May 30, 2003 3:43 AM > To: Boost-Users(a)yahoogroups.com > Subject: Re: [Boost-Users] Regex: matching either of 2 > fields, in any order > > > > I can see how I could do this in a loop to replace the different > > subfields.

int64_t problem
by Sigis 30 May '03

30 May '03

Hi, I am using OpenInventor and boost 1.29 librariess. Both of them have defined int64_t: typedef __int64 int64_t; During compiling I get some errors: d:\work\projects\medint\dist\include\boost\cstdint.hpp(240) : error C2632: '__int64' followed by '__int64' is illegal d:\work\projects\medint\dist\include\boost\cstdint.hpp(240) : warning C4091: 'typedef ' : ignored on left of '__int64' when no variable is declared d:\work\projects\medint\dist\include\inttypes.h(75) : error C2632: '__int64' followed by '__int64' is illegal d:\work\projects\medint\dist\include\inttypes.h(75) : warning C4091: 'typedef ' : ignored on left of '__int64' when no variable is declared The only solution I found is to add #undef just before define at boost/cstdint.hpp: #undef int64_t typedef __int64 int64_t; But it looks as dirty solution. Maybe it is possilbe to solve this problme in more elegant way? P.S. adding #undef int64_t to boost/config/user.hpp only reduces the count of errors from 10 to 6. -- Sigis

Or am I missing something? I could be wrong, but I interpreted the OP's question to mean: is it possible to have the regex generate an error if more than one sub-field of a specific type is found, i.e. the following would be invalid: ~C123~C345 The original poster can correct me if I've misinterpreted anything. -- Jim

Thanks for the reply! I can see how I could do this in a loop to replace the different subfields.

Problems Using boost:date_time library
by Carl Waldbieser 29 May '03

29 May '03

I recently tried some simple tests of the Boost date-time library (Boost 1.30.0 MSVC6) and ran into problems. I don't have the original code in front of me (unfortunately I left it at work), but more or less, it looked like this: #include "boost/date_time/gregorian/gregorian.hpp" #include <iostream> int main() { using namespace boost::gregorian; date today = day_clock::local_day(); month_iterator it(today); std::advance(it, 3); std::string strDate(to_simple_string(*it)); std::cout << "New date is " << strDate << std::endl; return 0; } The first problem I ran into was that I got a linker error because the class greg_month (in greg_month.hpp) did not provide definitions for the following member functions: const char* as_short_string() const; const char* as_long_string() const; I quicky wrote some inline switch statements to get past that hurdle, but then the compiler started complaining when I tried to use std::advance. It is unfortunate that I do not have the exact error in front of me right now, but I did trace the problem to the definition of month_iterator. I found that if I derived its base implementation class from the class template iterator that it would compile without problems. Is this a problem with the STL that ships with MSVC6? Anyway, I was wondering if maybe there was something I had not set up correctly with my compiler that was causing me to get these errors. Any help would be appreciated.
