Date_Time undefined reference
by David Clark 27 Oct '02

27 Oct '02

Hi, I am having a problem compiling the following example #include "boost/date_time/gregorian/gregorian.hpp" #include "boost/date_time/date_parsing.hpp" #include <iostream> #include <string> int main() { using namespace boost::gregorian; std::string s("2002-10-15"); date d(from_string(s)); std::cout << to_simple_string(d) << std::endl; return 0; }; The linker is complaining about an undefined reference to boost::gregorian::greg_month::as_short_string() const and boost::gregorian::greg_month::as_long_string() const using g++ 3.0.4 g++ test.cpp -o test -DDATE_TIME_INLINE Seems the problem is in the call to to_simple_string(d) Is there something obvious I'm missing here. Thanks David.

Unexpected result in parsing a regular expression
by abhinkar 27 Oct '02

27 Oct '02

Hi, I recently downloaded the boost regex library and am trying to use the search and replace (regex_merge) API. But I am not getting the expected result. Here is what I am trying to do. I am trying to replace a single quoted string with something. But, the catch here is that the string in single quotes can have zero or many 2 consecutive single quotes. For example: Input (Ignore the angle brackets>: <foo='string with '' consecutive '' single ''quotes' bar='string with no single quotes'> To be replaced by 'XXX'. So the output that I want: <foo=XXX bar=XXX> Here is the regular expression that I wrote in Perl: /(\'[^']*(\'\')*[^']*\')/ I get the expected result in Perl. So, to test this with regex library I wrote a sample program to use the regex_merge API and try the replace functionality. ---------------------------replace.cc-------------------------------- #include <boost/regex.hpp> #include <string> #include <iostream> #include <sstream> #include <iterator> using namespace std; using namespace boost; const std::string formatstr("XXX"); std::string processexp(string resp) { regex expression("(\'[^']*(\'\')*[^']*\')"); std::string result; std::ostringstream t; std::ostream_iterator<char, char> oi(t); cout << "Response:" << resp << endl; result = boost::regex_merge(resp, expression, formatstr, boost::format_all); return result; } int main(int argc) { std::string res; res = processexp("foo='string with '' consecutive '' single ''quotes' bar='string with no single quotes'"); cout << "results=" << res << endl; return 0; } --------------------------------------------------------------------- The output I get is: foo=REPLACEDREPLACED bar=REPLACED I tried several ways, but couldn't get the regular expression to work to return the expected result. I WOULD really appreciate if someone could help me. Thanks in advance, Sameer

vecS versus listS
by aaronyinyong 27 Oct '02

27 Oct '02

compare the following codes: 1.First I create Graph using vecS parameter: typedef boost::adjacency_list<vecS,vecS,directedS,VertexProperty,EdgeProperty> Graph; ..... E edge_array[num_edges]={E(0,1),E(0,2),E(0,3),E(2,3)}; boost::add_edge(edge_array[i].first,edge_array[i].second,g); ..... This is OK! 2.Then I changed the parameter "vecS" to "listS". typedef boost::adjacency_list<listS,listS,directedS,VertexProperty,EdgePropert y> Graph; ..... E edge_array[num_edges]={E(0,1),E(0,2),E(0,3),E(2,3)}; boost::add_edge(edge_array[i].first,edge_array[i].second,g); It can't be compiled.The VC7 tells me "int can't be converted to void*". So what's wrong? Is there any difference which could be caused by "vecS" and "listS"?

[BGL] Making GraphvizDigraph bidirectional
by kweeheong 27 Oct '02

27 Oct '02

Hi, For convenience, I am using Graphviz digraphs, reading them into BGL, running my algorithms and writing them out to view the results (with Graphviz dotty ). My compiling environment is VC6. After some compilation failures, I realized that Graphviz digraphs did not support in_edges and other functionality of the bidirectional graphs. Graphviz digraphs is currently defined in graphviz.hpp as : typedef subgraph<adjacency_list<boost::vecS, boost::vecS, boost::directedS, GraphvizVertexProperty, GraphvizEdgeProperty, GraphvizGraphProperty> > GraphvizDigraph; There are 2 potential solutions I see ( there may be others ): Solution 1 : ------------ - Read in Graphviz digraph and then copy it into a working bidirectional graph to run the algorithms. - Copy back to Graphviz digraph to view the results. Solution 2 : ------------ - Change the definition of GraphvizDigraph to : typedef subgraph<adjacency_list<boost::vecS, boost::vecS, boost::bidirectonalS, GraphvizVertexProperty, GraphvizEdgeProperty, GraphvizGraphProperty> > GraphvizDigraph; - Recompile bglviz.lib - Now GraphvizDigraph is bidirectional I prefer Solution 2 because it leverages the generic way that BGL has been written. I am able to rebuild bglviz.lib and my minimal testing shows the bidrectional GraphvizDigraph seems to work so far. I would like feedback whether there are any gotchas with Solution 2. Thanks,

are examples on maual page ready to run?
by J-S Lin 25 Oct '02

25 Oct '02

I just download boost and tried to get a hang of it by running examples out of the doc page. But I am not sure if these examples are ready to run or simply like a pseudo-code? A point in the case: This simple matrix example int main () { using namespace boost::numeric::ublas; matrix<double> m (3, 3); for (int i = 0; i < m.size1 (); ++ i) for (int j = 0; j < m.size2 (); ++ j) m (i, j) = 3 * i + j; std::cout << m << std::endl; } I copied it and added the following includes: #include <boost/numeric/ublas/matrix.hpp> #include <iostream> But the compiler (VC7) flag an error on cout. So is this line " std::cout << m << std::endl;" supposed to work, or it is a pseudo-code. Thanks. J-S Lin

Fwd: uBLAS vs MTL for sparse matrices
by Paul C. Leopardi 25 Oct '02

25 Oct '02

Hi, I posted the following message to boost and have so far had no response. Maybe boost-users is the correct mailing list? Hi, Thanks to Joerg Walter's original conversion of GluCat ( http://glucat.sf.net ) to uBLAS, I have fairly painlessly been able to get GluCat going with the version of uBLAS now promoted to Boost. I'm using sparse matrices: boost::numeric::ublas::sparse_matrix< Scalar_T, boost::numeric::ublas::row_major> and comparing performance to MTL: mtl::matrix< Scalar_T, mtl::rectangle<>, mtl::compressed<>, mtl::row_major >::type The operation I'm performing is quite complicated. Basically, I am generating a large number of sparse matrices, and computing the inner product of a given matrix with each of these matrices in turn. ( If you have a copy of GluCat, see basis_element() in matrix_multi_imp.h ) Because these sparse matrices have only one non-zero per row, operations on an n x n matrix are typically O(n), and seem to be so using MTL: Size vs speed for MTL: Size Time (ms) 32 10 64 20 128 80 256 160 512 700 But with uBLAS, essentially the same operations seem to be O(n^2): Size Time (ms) Slowdown 32 30 3 64 70 3.5 128 830 10.4 256 1940 12.1 512 31770 45.4 o Is there a more appropriate data type in uBLAS? o Do you have any tips on where to tweak uBLAS to get better (ie. O(n) ) performance? o What is BOOST_UBLAS_USE_CANONICAL_ITERATOR and what effect should it have on performance? Thanks

assign a scalar to boost::numeric::ublas::matrix?
by Michael Na Li 24 Oct '02

24 Oct '02

Hi, having tried various matrix classes, I was excited to see boost finally includes a "standard" matrix class. Thanks for the good work. I have one question, though. How do I initialize a matrix to a scalar value? There is no constructor of the form 'matrix (nr, nc, value)' nor 'matrix::operator=( T value )'. I think both would be nice to have.

[BUG] Macos.hpp configuration woes
by Bobby Thomale 24 Oct '02

24 Oct '02

Yesterday I was trying to help my wife get the Boost libraries to compile in her application. It reminded me of an issue I thought I brought up a while ago (maybe I forgot) that still exists in the boost Macos.hpp config file. In the MacOS.hpp file, it checks to see if you are compiling a Mach-O target. If you are, it reasons, you must be using the Apple BSD headers as well. This logic is even documented in a comment: // If __MACH__, we're using the BSD standard C library, not the MSL: #if __MACH__ The problem with this is that, starting with CW Pro 8, it is actually possible to build a Mach-O target and use the MSL in place of the BSD libraries. Lots of people are apparently doing this, including my wife. (I am still on CFM and have not made the transition to Mach-o yet, but I will eventually and I will potentially be in the same boat. The newer Carbon APIs are Mach-o only so that is where all the carbon programmers will eventually go, and as long as Codewarrior is around, MSL will be there as an option for people.) There are also people who use other STL implementations, such as STLPORT. When it defines all of the stuff it does in there, for the BSD libraries, the mach-o MSL code does not compile. Instead, I get hundreds of compile errors. The only way I could get this to compile for her was to force it to use the TARGET_CARBON stuff at the bottom, after the #else (meaning "not mach-o"), by commenting the __MACH__ stuff out. Obviously, that was a "see if this is really her problem" solution, also to get her up and running, and not a long-term fix. :-) It worked by the way. The config.hpp stuff seperates out your platform settings from your standard library settings. Is there a reason that standard library implementation-specific settings are being set by platform and binary format? If there is magic that needs to happen that is specific to Apple's BSD headers, shouldn't there maybe be a "BSD.hpp" or even "AppleBSD.hpp" for BOOST_STDLIB_CONFIG instead? Or am I missing something? Anyway. That is just a question/suggestion, take it or leave it. It makes sense that the TARGET_CARBON stuff at the bottom is platform specific, but the stuff above it seems like it should go somewhere else. In any case, whether that stuff is moved or not, something needs to change to alleviate the pain for those using Mach-o and MSL together, because right now boost is broken for those users. (Am I reporting this to the right list by the way?) -- Bobby --------------------------------------------------------------------- Bobby Thomale Senior Software Developer Inoveon Corporation http://www.inoveon.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------

VC++ 6.0 ,SGI STL and Boost
by Joshua 23 Oct '02

23 Oct '02

I'm just trying to include the files for the shared_ptr class and keep having problems. I was able to fix a problem with a duplicate definition of 'max' and 'min' (in suffix.hpp, it was conflicting with a file from the SGI STL implementation) I mainly just commented it out, if someone has a better plan on how to fix it I would love to know how to fix it. I have tried Boost 1.28 and 1.29 and still got the same set of errors. In addition to the 'max' and 'min' conflict I am getting these errors : e:\programming projects\c++ projects\boost_1_28_0\boost\checked_delete.hpp(24) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'T' e:\programming projects\c++ projects\boost_1_28_0\boost\checked_delete.hpp(24) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'T' e:\programming projects\c++ projects\boost_1_28_0\boost\checked_delete.hpp(30) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'T' e:\programming projects\c++ projects\boost_1_28_0\boost\checked_delete.hpp(30) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'T' e:\programming projects\c++ projects\boost_1_28_0\boost\detail\shared_count.hpp(184) : error C2504: 'counted_base' : base class undefined e:\programming projects\c++ projects\boost_1_28_0\boost\detail\shared_count.hpp(206) : see reference to class template instantiation 'detail::counted_base_impl<P,D>' being compiled e:\programming projects\c++ projects\boost_1_28_0\boost\detail\shared_count.hpp(253) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'Y' e:\programming projects\c++ projects\boost_1_28_0\boost\detail\shared_count.hpp(254) : error C2065: 'Y' : undeclared identifier e:\programming projects\c++ projects\boost_1_28_0\boost\detail\shared_count.hpp(390) : fatal error C1506: unrecoverable block scoping error So I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong (like not setting up the include order correctly) or if Microsoft is once again making my life hell. I am being bad and using the __int64 data type but I may need to rethink it and convert it to standard C++ (well sorta standard, I think gcc supports a longlong to get a 64bit int.. if not I may change it around to a bit_vector or something). But if anyone can shed some light on why I'm getting these errors listed above I'd really appreciate it. thanks. Joshua.

VC++ 6.0 with SGI STL and Boost
by Joshua 23 Oct '02

23 Oct '02

I'm using VC++ 6.0 with the SGI implementation of the STL. I'm trying to use the shared_ptr but when I try to include the <boost/shared_ptr.hpp> file I get about 40 errors. Most are related to errors redefining template functions. Its conflicting with the SGI STL header files but I'm not sure how to fix it. I keep thinking that I need to adjust the include order (Currently the Boost files are first, the the STL, then Microsofts includes. It doesn't matter where the Boost include directory is though I still get the same errors : this is a small sample --------------------Configuration: DryDock - Win32 Debug-------------------- Compiling... AbstractComponent.cpp e:\programming projects\c++ projects\boost_1_29_0\boost\config\suffix.hpp(256) : error C2995: 'min' : template function has already been defined e:\programming projects\c++ projects\drydock\drydock\stl\stl_algobase.h(106) : see declaration of 'min' e:\programming projects\c++ projects\boost_1_29_0\boost\config\suffix.hpp(260) : error C2995: 'max' : template function has already been defined e:\programming projects\c++ projects\drydock\drydock\stl\stl_algobase.h(112) : see declaration of 'max' e:\programming projects\c++ projects\boost_1_29_0\boost\checked_delete.hpp(24) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'T' e:\programming projects\c++ projects\boost_1_29_0\boost\checked_delete.hpp(24) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'T' e:\programming projects\c++ projects\boost_1_29_0\boost\checked_delete.hpp(30) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'T' e:\programming projects\c++ projects\boost_1_29_0\boost\checked_delete.hpp(30) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'T' e:\programming projects\c++ projects\boost_1_29_0\boost\detail\shared_count.hpp(213) : error C2504: 'counted_base' : base class undefined e:\programming projects\c++ projects\boost_1_29_0\boost\detail\shared_count.hpp(235) : see reference to class template instantiation 'detail::counted_base_impl<P,D>' being compiled And it goes on like that to a grand total of 40 errors. I know its probably just something like the order of the includes or I need to add something to specify the namespace correctly. Has any tried using this combination of libraries (VC++, SGI STL, Boost) and gotten it to work? Thanks.

[BGL] Why does depth_first_search not accept a source vertex parameter?
by kweeheong 21 Oct '02

21 Oct '02

Hi, I'm just learning about the BGL, and I've been sucessful in compiling and learning with examples on my VC6 Windows machine. I have a newbie question that someone with more knowledge of BGL might be able to answer : Q : Why does depth_first_search not accept a source vertex parameter, while breadth_first_search do? Is this just to be consistent with the historical definition of DFS? However, depth_first_visit and breadth_first_visit both accept a source vertex parameter. It would seem that DFS is more useful ( output is more deterministic ) if the source vertex can be specified, just like BFS. Reference : ( from the online BGL documentation ) template <class VertexListGraph, class P, class T, class R> void breadth_first_search(VertexListGraph& G, typename graph_traits<VertexListGraph>::vertex_descriptor s, const bgl_named_params<P, T, R>& params); template <class IncidenceGraph, class P, class T, class R> void breadth_first_visit(IncidenceGraph& G, typename graph_traits<IncidenceGraph>::vertex_descriptor s, const bgl_named_params<P, T, R>& params); template <class VertexListGraph, class class P, class T, class R> void depth_first_search(VertexListGraph& G, const bgl_named_params<P, T, R>& params); template <class IncidenceGraph, class DFSVisitor, class ColorMap> void depth_first_visit(IncidenceGraph& g, typename graph_traits<IncidenceGraph>::vertex_descriptor s, DFSVisitor& vis, ColorMap color);

As you know there are currently three Boost mailing lists: Boost - the discussion list for Boost library developers Boost-Users - the discussion list for Boost library users Boost-Announce - for library review and release announcements But we feel the need for an additional list. This list, Boost-Interest, will be an announcement list for items of interest to members of the Boost community. We see this as a low volume, moderated list on which commercial announcements are acceptable if relevant. We have written a proposed charter (below), but we invite comments and volunteers to moderate this list. Boost-Interest: Proposed Charter Boost-Interest is a moderated mailing list of announcements of interest to the Boost community. On topic messages will include announcements of books, magazine articles, papers, talks, seminars, products, tools, events, or conferences on advanced uses of C++, generic/generative/meta-programming, and, of course, the Boost libraries. Off topic will be discussions of any kind and job postings. If you are have comments on this list or its charter please send them to either or both Doug and Jon (addresses below). Also contact us if you are interested in moderating this list. Please do not ask for subscription information yet. We will announce details when we know them. -- Doug Gregor <gregod(a)cs.rpi.edu> Jon Kalb <Kalb(a)LibertySoft.com>
