date_time generator question
by Claus Tondering 29 May '03

29 May '03

Is there any reason why date_time::partial_date<date> also exists as gregorian::partial_date, but date_time::first_kday_after<date> does not exist as gregorian::first_kday_after? (A similar question could be asked for other classes in the date_generators.hpp file.) -- Claus Tondering Danish Technological Institute

Regex: matching either of 2 fields, in any order
by john.wismar＠alldata.com 29 May '03

29 May '03

I have a string that I'm searching, with sub-fields that are delimited by '~'. I'm particularly interested in 2 of the fields, either of which may or may not exist, in an unspecified order, and are identified by an initial 'C' and 'O' respectively. The 'C' is always followed by one or more digits, the 'O' is followed by one or more characters. For example, these are all valid. ~A123~C456~MA4 ~C12345~OA1~A123 ~A4~MH1 I'd like to see if I can use regular expressions to say, "If there is a 'C' field, replace the digits after it with these digits. If there is an 'O' field, replace the characters after it with these characters." I can do this quite easily with two different regex search-and-replaces; if the fields were always in the same order, I'd have no problem with that, either. Is it possible to do this in a single operation, given that the order of the fields is arbitrary? ------------------------------ John Wismar BSA - AllData Offline Products john.wismar(a)alldata.com

newbie: trouble composing with boost::bind
by Jacques A. Vidrine 28 May '03

28 May '03

[Apologies if this is a duplicate. I posted this shortly after I subscribed, but I didn't see it come across.] Hello, I'm new to the Boost library and quite excited to see some of the tools available to assist writing functional-style code. Recently I wanted to perform an action on every object in a container of smart pointers (boost::shared_ptr). I couldn't seem to find a concise way to do so. Here is a small example (no container involved) demonstrating the problem I'm encountering. #include <iostream> #include <string> #include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp> #include <boost/bind.hpp> using namespace std; using namespace boost; void xprint(ostream *os, shared_ptr<string> p) { *os << p.get()->c_str() << endl; } void xprint2(ostream *os, string *p) { *os << p->c_str() << endl; } int main(int ac, char *av[]) { shared_ptr<string> p(new string("Test")); bind(xprint, &cerr, _1)(p); #ifdef THIS_DOES_NOT_WORK bind(xprint2, &cerr, _1)( bind(&shared_ptr<string>::get, _1)(p) ); #else string *q = bind(&shared_ptr<string>::get, _1)(p); bind(xprint2, &cerr, _1)(q); #endif return 0; } Using GCC 3.2, I encounter a `no match for call' error in the `THIS_DOES_NOT_WORK' section of code. (Full diagnostics below.) I have tried many variations using mem_fn, apply, and by specifying the return type of the functor explicitly, but with no success. I'm afraid I don't understand the problem. I hoped someone here might be able to hit me with a clue-stick :-) Cheers, -- Jacques Vidrine . NTT/Verio SME . FreeBSD UNIX .

[newbie] Question on embedding/extending with boost::python
by Chris Heald 27 May '03

27 May '03

Hi all -- I'm working on an app that is going to be a C++ code engine which will be heavily extended through a series of Python scripts (objects, really). My desired requirements are as follows: The environment is a C++ state machine, and each Python object should persistantly maintain its own state. I assume I can instanciate a Python object and maintain it in C++, then call it when necessary. a) Embed the Python interpreter b) Be able to pass values from the C++ state machine into the Python object for internal use c) Be able to call arbitrary Python functions from C++. I am currently doing this with an event registration handler, where scripts will handle events they want to handle, along with the function that should be called when the event is fired. d) Be able to update the C++ state machine with an interface exposed from C++ I can do a and b easily enough - the examples make that clear. Where I'm having trouble is with c and d - how do I give a Python app hooks into an existing C++ state machine? I know I can write an extension easily enough, but by my understanding, that will simply give the Python object access to a series of functions, and not the objects contained in the state machine that the interpreter is running under. I could use "pull" operations, wherein the C++ app polls the objects for changed state in a loop and updates its sate accordingly, but that seems that it wouldn't perform nearly so well as if the Python scripts were able to update the C++ state machine themselves, so I'm avoiding that route. I had a co-worker suggest that I use Python as my primary execution environment instead of C++. While this would admittedly make some things easier, how much performance would I sacrifice with this route? I'm building a 3D application, and it doesn't seem that Python would be well-suited to such an application in terms of performance. There is potential for literally tens of thousands of instances of these objects to exist in this state machine, and I certainly don't want to hinder performance by moving the primary execution into an interpreted environment rather than a compiled environment. Any words of wisdom? Or am I utterly failing to communicate clearly, as I think I am? ;) Thanks, Chris

Newbie: can't build Boot.Python with Borland bcc32 5.5.1
by David Webster-Jaggard 27 May '03

27 May '03

Hello. Sorry if the answer to this question is available elsewhere but I haven't found it yet. I would like to build the python library in boost_1_30_0 using Borland C++ Builder 5 (bcc32 version 5.5.1). Currently, this fails with a number of errors, the first and most significant being: Error E2401 C:\boost\boost_1_30_0\boost/python/object/inheritance.hpp 69: Invalid template argument list The statement around line 69 from inheritance.hpp is as follows: typedef typename mpl::if_c< is_polymorphic<T>::value , polymorphic_id_generator<T> , non_polymorphic_id_generator<T> >::type type; Is the borland compiler simply incapable of compiling this statement or (as is likely) have I missed something? Thanks in advance

[uBLAS] Expert Developer Advice Needed ... Maybe...
by dmatt001 27 May '03

27 May '03

Hi Guys, After a significantly long break from using uBLAS, I have now been lucky enough to find myself in a new role where I can again use it! Having noted that there was no vector cross product in uBLAS, I thought I would implement my own. To make it really efficient and work in with the other uBLAS features, I thought I would try to make a compatible routine that eliminates temporaries and uses the other cool uBLAS features. So far so good. To start, I decided to use a simple case that I could easily check: a 3d vector. I also decided to copy some other routines as required to get going. For this reason I copied "scalar_plus". Now that I have written the short piece code, it doesn't quite get there. So far not so good. ;-) I am hoping that a reader please review the short code and output below and give some quick pointers about what I can do better...? Perhaps I need to get some better knowledge about the relevant tricks -- I was hoping to emulate another developer in the first instance. Thanks, Matt --- Code Follows --- namespace boost { namespace numeric { namespace ublas { // Binary returning vector template<class T1, class T2> struct vector_vector_binary_functor { typedef

Nesting Grammars with boost::spirit
by Dan Nuffer 27 May '03

27 May '03

I have two grammars defined (value and variable). I'll paste value here, variable is very similar: struct value : public grammar<value> { template <typename ScannerT> struct definition { definition(value const &self) { val = real_p[&do_real] | ('-' >> val)[&do_neg] | '+' >> val; } rule<ScannerT> val; rule<ScannerT> const &start() const { return val; } }; }; Now I want to define a grammar that uses both of these, for instance part of it might be (value | variable)... how can I do this?

boost::date_time::posix_time and Intel Compiler 7.0?

Line 43 !!!// #endif It appears that there is not a streaming operator defined for the time_duration::fractional_seconds_type type. Looking deeper into this issue was a bit of nightmare; since the offending type consists of numerous nested typdefs etc. etc. If anyone has a short and sweet answer to my essay of a question, I would appreciate it. The obvious answer of "don't use the Intel compiler" will not suffice! Saying that, when I switched from the Intel compiler to bad old MSVC6 I had not problems. But our company's software requires the performance gain provided by the Intel compiler on Windows. Another issue, I saw that during installation of Boost, it is possible using STLPort and MSVC6 together, but (for the reasons mentioned above), why not STLPort with the Intel compiler? I did ask the same question some time before now, but no-one bothered to answer. I would really appreciate any help in this regard! Greetings, Andre.

Hi I tried to run the tests for ublas with cwpro8 on Window 2000: D:\boost\boost_1_30_0\libs\numeric\ublas\test2>bjam -sTOOLS=cwpro8 The compiler (Codewarrior) has problems with the boost include files. Includes like #include <boost/numeric/ublas/io.hpp> work only with the system path and not with the user path. When I change <include>$(BOOST_ROOT) in the jamfile to <sysinclude>$(BOOST_ROOT) the problem disappears (but would possibly not work for other compilers). Benedikt

Policy based threading question
by Aschwin Gopalan 24 May '03

24 May '03

Dear Boosters! I am designing a class template with policy controled threading behaviour, like template<ThreadingModel=SingleThreaded> class Something; where there are different ThreadingModels available (see Modern C++ Design by Alexandrescu for a discussion of policies). I would like to have Something to inherit ThreadingModel. The idea is that SingleThreaded does not impose any additional penalties. So my Idea was to have something like class SingleThreaded { public: void lock() {} void release() {} } class MultiThreaded { public: void lock() { lock_mutex(m_mutex) } void release() { release_mutex(m_mutex) } private: mutex m_mutex; } and have all functions call lock() and release() accordingly. But this is not good, since it does not use Resource Initialization is Aquisition and leads to exeption safety problems and so on. Furthermore, it is not (because of these reasons) possible to model using boost::mutex ´es since they do not expose a lock() release() interface but can only be locked using scoped_locks. So another idea is to have something like class SingleThreaded { class scoped_lock { // Empty class } } class MultiThreaded { public: class scoped_lock { scoped_lock() // constructor that locks m_mutex of // of MultiThreaded ~scoped_lock() // unlocks } private: boost::mutex m_mutex; } and have the member functions lock the mutex by instantiating an embeded scoped_lock object. Now there are some questions I have: 1.) Does this approach sound sensible, or am I overlooking a commonly used Idiom to achieve this functionality 2.) How can I access the m_mutex member of the right object in scoped_lock()? The only way I can imagin is to give the this pointer to the constructor (like scoped_lock lock(this);). It is somehow not nice, but possible 3.) The actual code I am using looks like //! Policy class. /*! Multithreading, object operations are synchronized via * a non-recursive lock, obeying strict Resource Acuisition is Initialization * semantics */ class LockDefault { public: LockDefault() : m_pmutex(new boost::mutex) { } class scoped_lock : public boost::mutex::scoped_lock { public: scoped_lock(LockDefault &obj) : boost::mutex::scoped_lock(obj->m_pmutex) { } ~scoped_lock() { } }; public: boost::mutex m_mutex; }; This works with gcc and I think it does what it should. It fails to compile with VC++6 giving error C2512: 'scoped_lock<class boost::recursive_mutex>' : no appropriate default constructor which I do not understand, since the default constructor is never called. Also, I do not like to have the mutex member public, but if I make it private and write friend class scoped_lock; this does not have the desired effect (MSVC still complains about private data member access) Somehow, I must be getting something completely wrong, so if somebody could point me in the right direction, I would be thankful. BTW: I am using boost_1_30_0 Thanks, Aki

newbie: trouble composing with boost::bind
by Jacques A. Vidrine 23 May '03

23 May '03

Hello, I'm new to the Boost library and quite excited to see some of the tools available to assist writing functional-style code. Recently I wanted to perform an action on every object in a container of smart pointers (boost::shared_ptr). I couldn't seem to find a concise way to do so. Here is a small example (no container involved) demonstrating the problem I'm encountering. #include <iostream> #include <string> #include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp> #include <boost/bind.hpp> using namespace std; using namespace boost; void xprint(ostream *os, shared_ptr<string> p) { *os << p.get()->c_str() << endl; } void xprint2(ostream *os, string *p) { *os << p->c_str() << endl; } int main(int ac, char *av[]) { shared_ptr<string> p(new string("Test")); bind(xprint, &cerr, _1)(p); #ifdef THIS_DOES_NOT_WORK bind(xprint2, &cerr, _1)( bind(&shared_ptr<string>::get, _1)(p) ); #else string *q = bind(&shared_ptr<string>::get, _1)(p); bind(xprint2, &cerr, _1)(q); #endif return 0; } Using GCC 3.2, I encounter a `no match for call' error in the `THIS_DOES_NOT_WORK' section of code. (Full diagnostics below.) I have tried many variations using mem_fn, apply, and by specifying the return type of the functor explicitly, but with no success. I'm afraid I don't understand the problem. I hoped someone here might be able to hit me with a clue-stick :-) Cheers, -- Jacques Vidrine . NTT/Verio SME . FreeBSD UNIX .

any_cast<double>(any_assigned_with_int) fails. workaround?
by Markus Werle 23 May '03

23 May '03

Hi! At present I learn what it means not to have strong typing: I play around with boost::any. A new and healing experience. Thank You, Bjarne, for insisting on strong typing for C++ ;-) Never made so much use of the debugger ... So now I found out that any_cast does not promote types that may be promoted like for int->double conversions. Any workaround in the lib I overlooked or is this the time for my_any_cast<T>(boost::any const &)? Markus -- Compile time analytic differentiation? Yes, at http://daixtrose.sourceforge.net/

question about boost::bind
by Darin Buck 23 May '03

23 May '03

First, the working code: #include <boost/bind.hpp> #include <boost/function.hpp> #include <iostream> #include <string> #include <map> using namespace std; struct message { string mtablename; unsigned long long mpk; message(const string& tablename, const unsigned long long pk) : mtablename(tablename), mpk(pk) { } }; typedef boost::function < void, unsigned long long > MessageFunctor; typedef multimap < string, MessageFunctor > MessageFunctorMap; typedef pair < MessageFunctorMap::iterator, MessageFunctorMap::iterator > MessageFunctorTableMapIteratorPair; void callfunctor(pair < string, MessageFunctor > item, unsigned long long pk) { item.second(pk); } class MessageCenter { MessageFunctorMap mHandlerMap; public: MessageCenter() { } void sendMessage(message& amessage) { MessageFunctorTableMapIteratorPair iterPair = mHandlerMap.equal_range(amessage.mtablename); std::for_each(iterPair.first, iterPair.second, boost::bind (&callfunctor, _1, amessage.mpk)); // QUESTION LINE } void addHandler(string tableName, MessageFunctor handler) { mHandlerMap.insert(make_pair(tableName, handler)); } }; int gFooCounter = 0; void fooHandler(unsigned long long x) { cout << "fooHandler called on pk=" << x << endl; gFooCounter++; } void gooHandler(unsigned long long x){} int main(int argc, const char** argv) { MessageCenter messageCenter; messageCenter.addHandler("foo", fooHandler); messageCenter.addHandler("foo", fooHandler); messageCenter.addHandler("goo", gooHandler); // send some messages message fooMessage("foo", 123); messageCenter.sendMessage(fooMessage); if(gFooCounter != 2) cerr << "something didn't work"; else cout << "everything worked..." << endl; return 0; } now for the question: on the line labeled "QUESTION LINE", you can see that I'm binding to a functor called "callfunctor". All callfunctor does is call the functor embedded in the map's pair. Is there a way to simplify the line in question so that I don't need to create the functor just to get access to the pair.second member? -Darin

smart pointer into classes this
by Erik Thiele 23 May '03

23 May '03

hi i use my own smartpointer class but hope to consolidate it into some other standard class some day (like the boost smart_ptr). an open point is the "this" pointer in classes. i have a problem with this situation: class myclass { void foo (); }; void myclass::foo() { // i do not know, if there is a smartpointer on me. // in some situations i'd like to have it! // that's why "this" exists, but "this" is not a // smartpointer! so either i have to get it in my // parameter list, or i have to be derived from // some "smartpointable" base class and call the // thissmartptr() member function. // but how should i implement the "thissmartptr" function? // in the class construction, nobody gets the smartpointer. } void main() { // sp is the smartpointer sp<myclass> m (new myclass()); // does this kind of initialisation still work // when the thissmartptr stuff shall be implemented? } i have no clue on how to implement the thissmartptr problem. my problems are class construction. do you have any plans, or is it even already implemented in the smart_ptr? cu & thx erik -- Erik Thiele

one last boost conversion question: notify_one
by Mark Sizer 22 May '03

22 May '03

I have a message queue class that has the following API: post( msg ); msg get(); where get( msg ) blocks until there is a message available and post( msg ) notifies when a message is posted. There are four threads waiting in get: MSG mqueue::get(); { MSG msgResult; { boost::mutex::scoped_lock lockQueue( _mutexQueue ); _conditionMessageReady.wait( lockQueue ); if ( _queueOut.size() > 0 ) { msgResult = _queueOut.front(); _queueOut.pop(); } } return msgResult; } The post method USED TO do this: void mqueue::post( MSG msg ) { { boost::mutex::scoped_lock lockQueue( _mutexQueue ); _queueOut.push(msg); } _conditionMessageReady.notify_one(); } When the queue was just a little bit busy (one thread processing, not all four), messages would go into the queue and never come out. I changed the .notify_one() to .notify_all() and I no longer have messages getting stuck in the queue. However, now I have a bunch of threads getting released when there is nothing for them to do (they just loop around and wait again, but YUCK!). Am I missing something or is this "expected" behavior? Thanks again, - Mark P.S. The lockQueue is locked when the condition is done waiting, right?

boost::thread and detaching
by Aatu Koskensilta 22 May '03

22 May '03

Hello. I have a very simple server, in which there is a loop that looks like while( (c_sock = accept(...)) != -1) { try { boost::thread thr( boost::bind(&ServerClass::client_connection, this, c_sock)); }catch ( const std::exception & e) { std::cout << "Exception " << e << std::endl; close(c_sock); } } Now, it used to look more like while( (c_sock = accept(...)) != -1) { pthread_t thr; pthread_attr_t attrs; pthread_attr_init(&attrs); pthread_attr_setdetachstate(&attrs, PTHREAD_CREATE_DETACHED); thr_data * data = new thr_data(this, c_sock); pthread_create(&thr, &attrs, thread_proxy_function, thr_data); } (Actually, the pthread specific stuff and thread parameter wrapping and all that that was done with wrappers written by me. Also, there was proper error checking and all.) Now, the older version worked without any problems. However, the newer version using boost::thread ceased to work after approximately 256 threads had been created *all of which had exited*, pthread_create reporting an error Memory allocation failed which was reported as a resource allocation error by boost::thread. It seems that this problem was caused by the fact that the thread function usually got to execute and finish *before* the temporary thread object was destroyed (boost::thread destructor calls pthread_detach). Apparently LinuxThreads didn't consider it prudent to release the resources allocated to the thread upon call of pthread_detach if the thread had exited but no one had joined it yet. Is my analysis credible? Am I doing something completely idiotic here? I managed to get my server code functioning by poking at the boost::thread code and making it create threads detached by default, but that's hardly a very elegant solution. I'm testing this code in a RedHat 9 Linux box. -- Aatu Koskensilta (aatu.koskensilta(a)xortec.fi) "Wovon man nicht sprechen kann, daruber muss man schweigen" - Ludwig Wittgenstein, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus

date_time local to UTC conversion
by Erik Thiele 22 May '03

22 May '03

hi. i am using boost::date_time i am using ptime always in UTC. but some time i have to interact with user. therefore i need to convert the ptime to the local ptime back and forth. int foo () { ptime mytime_asutc = some_UTC_time; ptime mytime_aslocal = XXX (mytime_asutc); ptime histime_aslocal = some_local_time; ptime histime_asutc = YYY (histime_aslocal); } i am in germany, so i'd like to use germany local settings. best would be to get all information from unix TZ variable. but i found out, only one direction of conversion works with unix TZ. the other one needs manual input. i don't understand the eu_dst_trait stuff. i'd very much appreciate to have XXX and YYY. cu & thx erik -- Erik Thiele

hi, When i try to compile the code in listing 1 below using MSVC7.1 i get a whole host of errors of the same form as that given in listing 2. I've looked around on google but either i'm not concentrating or this issue hasn't come up yet. I've also had a quick look in boost/format but would rather not hack around with stuff i don't know. Does anyone know what i need to do to get this working?

RE: [Boost-Users] boost::date_time::posix_time and Intel Compiler 7.0?
by Ferdinand Prantl 22 May '03

22 May '03

Hi Andre, this is not only behavior of VC, all compilers, as far as I know have some include/lib paths preconfigured, to prevent you from specifying them always on command lines. You have two options how to use stlport: 1) #include <stlport/string> + STLport allows it and it does not clash with the VC STL and you can do also some benchmarks... ;-) - your code has hard-coded includes of STL headers and it is not easy to switch STL then 2) #include <string> + your includes look standard for any compiler/STL - your compiler must support replacing of its own ST with the alternative one (STLport) The 2) option you can achieve with VC by two ways: a) do not rely on the built-in header/lib paths and provide them always on the command line or environment (I'd recommend the latter...) - it is turned on by the switch /useenv (VC7) or /env (VC6) and then you have to provide your own paths e.g. in environment: INCLUDE=D:\STLport-4.5.3;D:\STLport-4.5.3\stlport;D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Vc7\ATLMFC\INCLUDE;D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Vc7\INCLUDE;D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Vc7\PlatformSDK\include;D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\FrameworkSDK\include;D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Vc7\PlatformSDK\include\prerelease LIB=D:\STLport-4.5.3\lib;D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Vc7\LIB;D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Vc7\ATLMFC\LIB;D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Vc7\PlatformSDK\lib;D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\FrameworkSDK\lib;D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Vc7\PlatformSDK\lib\prerelease b) modify the paths in the VC's configuration - see the menu Tools/Options Projects/VC++ Directories and put the path(s) to STLport into the three of them: Include (for compiler), Library (for linker), Source (for debugger - necessary only in VC6, VC7 uses absolute paths n PDBs) I personally prefer 2) a) because if I do not want to compile everything on my machine with STLport, it prevents me from still reconfiguring of VC system paths and I can set the variables simply in a build batch for devenv /build, and in a IDE-runing batch for tho work. Then I can easily test also more versions of STLport.
