SWIG vs Boost.Python vs PyCXX vs Py++
by Mathieu Malaterre 03 Jan '08

03 Jan '08

Hi there, After reading a couple of -outdated- references I am even more confused than when I started. I have been using swig for the longest time (not by choice), but I am given the opportunity to rethink this -bad- choice. I had heard lots of good thing about Boost.Python, so I decided to have a look at it. I realized that it is already replaced by another layer of abstraction: PyCXX or Py++ (is this correct so far?). So as of today could someone please let me know what are the main differences in between PyCXX and Py++ ? Our current built system is cmake and I would like to avoid adding a dependencie to bjam. What are the drawback of having a dependencie (link library) to boost (versus swig which does not have any). Thanks for comments, -- Mathieu References: http://retrograde-orbit.blogspot.com/2006/12/boost.html http://pyfltk.sourceforge.net/faq.php#boost1 http://people.web.psi.ch/geus/talks/europython2004_geus.pdf http://bob.pythonmac.org/archives/2005/03/11/swig-hate/ http://retrograde-orbit.blogspot.com/2006/12/boost.html http://www.boost-consulting.com/writing/bpl.html http://seal.web.cern.ch/seal/snapshot/work-packages/scripting/evaluation-re…

null_ptr?
by Robert Dailey 03 Jan '08

03 Jan '08

Hi, Does boost have some sort of null_ptr class that allows you to do portable NULL comparisons? For example, the following isn't portable: char* foo = 0; if( foo != 0 ) { } But this is portable: char* foo = reinterpret_cast<char*>( 0 ); if( foo != reinterpret_cast<char*>( 0 ) ) { } You could easily create a null_ptr class with a few global template operators to make this easy, so you could do this: char* foo = boost::null_ptr; if( foo != boost::null_ptr ) { } Is there such a thing? Thanks.

Building boost with msvc 9 x64
by Chrissi13378 Chrissi13378 03 Jan '08

03 Jan '08

Hello, i recently upgraded from msvc 8 to 9. Now I have to rebuild all my libraries, including boost. To do so, I am executing bjam --without-mpi --without-python --toolset=msvc-9.0_64 address-model=64 install bjam --without-mpi --without-python --toolset=msvc-9.0_64 address-model=64 clean in the Visual Studio x64 build command promt. I am using an own-built bjam executable using the nightly build code (1.1.08) and the boost files from the current CVS (1.1.08) Unfortunately, once the build starts, a windows message appears, asking me how to open "execution_monitor.obj.rsp". How can I fix this error? -Christoph I am using Windows Vista x64 and --------------------------------- Ihr erstes Fernweh? Wo gibt es den schönsten Strand.

upcoming Switch library review Jan 5th - Jan 9th
by Stjepan Rajko 02 Jan '08

02 Jan '08

The review of the Switch library by Steven Watanabe will begin this Saturday, Jan 5th. Description: The built in C/C++ switch statement is very efficient. Unfortunately, unlike a chained if/else construct there is no easy way to use it when the number of cases depends on a template parameter. The Switch library addresses this issue. You can download the library from the Boost Vault: http://tinyurl.com/23qn7w For convenience, the docs have been uploaded here: http://tinyurl.com/2h6ut9 ... and the source file here: http://tinyurl.com/2cbfyk If you are interested, please consider submitting a review of this library. I will send more detailed instructions on what to include in the review on the 5th. Regards, Stjepan

[Serialization] Can I load two object from one input file?
by sjdf 02 Jan '08

02 Jan '08

Hi all, Code like this: // Save std::ofstream ofs( "c.out" ); A testA1; B testB1; testA1.Save( ofs ); testB1.Save( ofs ); ofs.close(); // Load std::ifstream ifs( "c.out" ); A testA11; B testB11; testA11.Load( ifs ); testB11.Load( ifs ); The testA1 and testB1 can save successful, and the testA11 can load successful, but when loading testB11, it throw a exception "invalid_signature". I have trace into the code, I found when the testA11 loading, the "file_signature" is "serialization::archive", but when testB11 loading, the "file_signature" is empty. Why it like this? What should I do? May be there is the same question before I ask, but I don't know what keyword could be search, sorry. Thanks!

[Serialization] Is there anybody has experience in writting DBArchive?
by sjdf 02 Jan '08

02 Jan '08

Hi all, I'm working on a project, it consists of 2 parts: application & framework. The application uses the interfaces of the framework which based on a OODB. Now, my task is to replace the OODB with a relational database. So, I have to do the serialization of the object by myself. I don't know how to design the DBArchive, since I don't know how to deal with the inheritance relation and reference relation between the objects. The DBAchive is different from the TextArchive, the letter is a stream, but the former's storage unit is a record that consists of the object's data members and the field name in the database table. If the recursive model of the boost serialization can process this case? Could you give me any suggestions? Thanks a lot! sjdf

Problems building 1.34 with Intel toolset on Win32
by Lipik Contact 02 Jan '08

02 Jan '08

Hi, I am trying to build 1.34 with Intel compiler (have tried with 9.0 as well as 10.1 - same results). bjam appears to skip building the library linked to debug runtime (libboost*-*gd*.lib), and autolink looks for these libraries when linking projects that use boost. I see the same problem with 9.0 as well. I added the icl.exe path to my user-config.jam, as suggested in an earlierpost on this list. I also got the 1.35 dev version from CVS, and it also has the same problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My bjam command-line is: bjam --v2 -a toolset=intel-10.1 variant=debug link=static --build-dir=C:\Exp\build-boost --without-graph --without-wave --without-serialization --without-python -sICU_PATH=C:\DevLibraries\icu stage On a related note, bjam seems to ignore compiler flags passed in the command line.i.e., I try to build the release as: .\bjam --v2 -a toolset=intel-10.1 variant=release link=static cxxflags=-QxO --build-dir=C:\Exp\build-boost --without-graph --without-wave --without-serialization --without-python -sICU_PATH=C:\DevLibraries\icu stage but /QxO compiler option is never enabled when compiling. Thanks Amit

Port QT call to BOOST
by j.c. 01 Jan '08

01 Jan '08

Hi, I am looking to port a single call of QT code: connect(m_task, SIGNAL(finished(task *)), this, SLOT(on_finished(task *))); I am not that familiar with QT, SLOTS or SIGNALS, but what I believe this to be doing is binding the SIGNAL function finished() from class "task" to my other "class" so that it will fire on_finished(). If anyone can give me some insight on how to boostify this, that would be great, as I have not touched that area just yet. Thanks, j

boost::thread passing reference of the data object to thread func does not work
by Xiaofan Li 31 Dec '07

31 Dec '07

Hi, Sorry to disturb the list but I've been stuck with this problem for a while. The idea is to pass the reference of some data object to the thread function, in which the data object (by which the ref is passed in) will be modified. However I have found that this would not work at run-time, as the program compiled, ran but the modifying code silently failed to execute. I've written a small sample, which is self-contained and compilable: // // File: thread_test.cc // Author: xli // // Created on December 26, 2007, 12:26 AM // #include <boost/thread/thread.hpp> #include <boost/bind.hpp> #include <iostream> #include <vector> using namespace std; int s_count = 0; boost::mutex mutex; struct some_data_t { some_data_t() : m_int(0) {} int m_int; vector<int> m_vec; }; class threaded { public: void increment_count( some_data_t& data ) { boost::mutex::scoped_lock lock(mutex); std::cout << "count = " << ++s_count << std::endl; data.m_int += s_count; data.m_vec.push_back(s_count); } }; some_data_t a; int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { threaded _thrd; boost::thread_group threads; for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) threads.create_thread( boost::bind( boost::mem_fn( &threaded::increment_count ), &_thrd, a ) ); threads.join_all(); cout <<"All done. " <<a.m_int <<" " <<a.m_vec.size() <<endl; } ----------------- The output (g++4.3/linux) is count = 1 count = 2 ... count = 10 All done. 0 0 However I am expecting the last line as "All done. 55 10" as indicated in increment_count(). I have no idea why the "some_data_t a" did not undergo any change even increment_count() had clearly been called 10 times. I also wish to note that the way I make a member func version of increment_count() is purely for testing and changing it back to a global/static function will not alter the un-designated behaviour I've got. Any opinions on this are more than welcome. Regards, Xiaofan -- Xiaofan Li

boost::shared_ptr question
by Michael Bradley Jr 31 Dec '07

31 Dec '07

Hi, i do have the following situation 3 independent classes A, B and C with the following requirements: 1. class A { private: A(int); ~A(); class deleter_t{ public: void operator()(A* p) { delete p; } }; friend class deleter_t; public: shared_ptr<A> create(int i) { return boost::shared_ptr<A>(new A(i),deleter_t()); } }; class B { boost::shared<A> obj_; }; class C { boost::shared_ptr<B> b_; boost::shared_ptr<A> a_; }; 2. Class C instantiates A and gets a boost::shared_ptr<A> through A::create Class B just need a boost::shared_ptr<A>. 3. C first release B and then A Now my question how can i achieve that goal, when A MUST obey to the singleton pattern? Thanks in advance for any help Cheers Michael

[review] Boost.Functional/Factory library result : accepted
by John Torjo 30 Dec '07

30 Dec '07

Hi all, The Boost.Functional/Factory library, submitted by Tobias Schwinger has been *accepted*. Thanks to all reviewers and to all who contributed before the review! We've received 3 reviews, all positive: Larry Evans, Stejan Rajko, and Detlef Wilkening*. *Suggested improvements * *Implementation *- Allocator should be inherited *Docs *- should include some hint about how to overcome the Lvalue constraint on the arguments that's mentioned in the docs: a0...aN - argument LValues to a constructor of T - separate the two templates (factory and value_factory) a little bit more in the introduction so that it reinforces that they are different in usage - better motivation - more detailed examples * note: I consider Detlef's review positive, even though he wanted 3 extensions (in light of Tobias's answer): - Better name for factory: factory_ptr or factory_pointer. - Better motivation for beginners in the docu. - Extension with a third template parameter for e.g. 2 phase construcion. Best, John -- http://John.Torjo.com -- C++ expert ... call me only if you want things done right

[iostreams] making a symmetric_filter flushable
by Kessner, Darren E. 30 Dec '07

30 Dec '07

Hi there, First of all thank you to Jonathan Turkanis for the iostreams library - it has been very useful. I am using a filter to calculate a hash on data as it is sent to an ostream, using symmetric_filter. The problem is that even when I flush the filtering_ostream, the extra bytes in the symmetric_filter destination buffer aren't flushed out to the sink until the filtering_ostream goes out of scope (or reset() or pop() is called). I found the following in the FAQ: "Note, however, that there is no guarantee that all data written to a filtering_stream will be forwarded to the final Sink until the stream is closed, unless all the Filters in the underlying chain are Flushable." My questions: 1) How does one make a symmetric_filter Flushable? 2) Is this the best way to do this sort of on-the-fly hash calculation? I've included example code below. Thank you in advance for any advice! Darren #include "boost/iostreams/filtering_stream.hpp" #include "boost/iostreams/filter/symmetric.hpp" #include <iostream> using namespace std; class MySymmetricFilter { public: typedef char char_type; bool filter(const char*& src_begin, const char* src_end, char*& dest_begin, char* dest_end, bool flush) { // just copy everything for (; src_begin!=src_end && dest_begin!=dest_end ; ++src_begin, ++dest_begin) *dest_begin = *src_begin; // do some hash calculation on bytes copied return false; } void close() {} }; struct MyFilter : public boost::iostreams::symmetric_filter<MySymmetricFilter> { typedef boost::iostreams::symmetric_filter<MySymmetricFilter> base_type; MyFilter(int bufferSize) : base_type(bufferSize) {} }; int main() { boost::iostreams::filtering_ostream fos; fos.push(MyFilter(40)); // buffer size == 40 fos.push(cout); fos << "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" << flush; // length == 43 cout << "123456789 "; flush(fos); // no effect? return 0; // prints "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy 123456789 dog" // last 3 bytes "dog" are printed when fos goes out of scope } Darren Kessner Scientific Programmer Darren.Kessner(a)cshs.org Spielberg Family Center for Applied Proteomics Cedars-Sinai Medical Center http://www.sfcap.cshs.org/ IMPORTANT WARNING: This message is intended for the use of the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged and confidential, the disclosure of which is governed by applicable law.

I have found online documentation for a new version of the Math Toolkit, dedicated to Statistical Distributions and Functions (the link to the documentation is: http://freespace.virgin.net/boost.regex/toolkit/html/index.html ). Apparently this version was reviewed back in April 2007 (see http://archives.free.net.ph/message/20070411.155456.8e65c9d8.en.html) Unfortunately, these functions are not included in the latest distribution of Boost available online, and are not in the Boost Vault.

[Boost.Spirit] problem with parsing

Hello, I'm currently writing simple server implementation and want to parse GET request header and load passed attributes. I though with boost spirit this will be very simple task but i got some errors I can't understand. My function (these are my first lines of code using spirit): bool GET_parse(std::string &str, std::vector<std::string> &keys, std::vector<std::string> &values) { using namespace boost::spirit; uint_parser<unsigned,10,1,1> my_digit; rule<> request,method,path,version_id,stri,web_sign,attribs; request = method >> path >> version_id; method = as_lower_d["get"];//method = str_p["GET"]; version_id = str_p("HTTP") >> ch_p('/') >> my_digit >> ch_p('.') >> my_digit; path = ch_p('/') >> !(stri >> *(ch_p('/') >> stri) >> !(ch_p('?') >> attribs)); stri = +(web_sign); web_sign = alnum_p | ch_p('_') | ch_p('_') | ch_p('.'); attribs = *((+alnum_p)[push_back_a(keys)] >> ch_p('=') >> (+alnum_p)[push_back_a(values)] >> !ch_p('&')); return parse(str.c_str(), request, space_p).full; } and output (for me totally unreadable): In member function 'typename boost::spirit::parser_result<DerivedT, ScannerT>::type boost::spirit::impl::rule_base<DerivedT, EmbedT, T0, T1, T2>::parse_main(const ScannerT&) const [with ScannerT = boost::spirit::scanner<const char*, boost::spirit::scanner_policies<boost::spirit::skipper_iteration_policy<boost::spirit::iteration_policy>, boost::spirit::match_policy, boost::spirit::action_policy> >, DerivedT = boost::spirit::rule<boost::spirit::nil_t, boost::spirit::nil_t, boost::spirit::nil_t>, EmbedT = const boost::spirit::rule<boost::spirit::nil_t, boost::spirit::nil_t, boost::spirit::nil_t>&, T0 = boost::spirit::nil_t, T1 = boost::spirit::nil_t, T2 = boost::spirit::nil_t]': /usr/include/boost/spirit/core/non_terminal/impl/rule.ipp:171: instantiated from 'typename boost::spirit::parser_result<DerivedT, ScannerT>::type boost::spirit::impl::rule_base<DerivedT, EmbedT, T0, T1, T2>::parse(const ScannerT&) const [with ScannerT = boost::spirit::scanner<const char*, boost::spirit::scanner_policies<boost::spirit::skipper_iteration_policy<boost::spirit::iteration_policy>, boost::spirit::match_policy, boost::spirit::action_policy> >, DerivedT = boost::spirit::rule<boost::spirit::nil_t, boost::spirit::nil_t, boost::spirit::nil_t>, EmbedT = const boost::spirit::rule<boost::spirit::nil_t, boost::spirit::nil_t, boost::spirit::nil_t>&, T0 = boost::spirit::nil_t, T1 = boost::spirit::nil_t, T2 = boost::spirit::nil_t]' /usr/include/boost/spirit/core/scanner/impl/skipper.ipp:131: instantiated from 'static boost::spirit::parse_info<IteratorT> boost::spirit::impl::phrase_parser<boost::spirit::space_parser>::parse(const IteratorT&, const IteratorT&, const ParserT&, const boost::spirit::space_parser&) [with IteratorT = const char*, ParserT = boost::spirit::rule<boost::spirit::nil_t, boost::spirit::nil_t, boost::spirit::nil_t>]' /usr/include/boost/spirit/core/scanner/impl/skipper.ipp:153: instantiated from 'boost::spirit::parse_info<IteratorT> boost::spirit::parse(const IteratorT&, const IteratorT&, const boost::spirit::parser<DerivedT>&, const boost::spirit::parser<SkipT>&) [with IteratorT = const char*, ParserT = boost::spirit::rule<boost::spirit::nil_t, boost::spirit::nil_t, boost::spirit::nil_t>, SkipT = boost::spirit::space_parser]' /usr/include/boost/spirit/core/scanner/impl/skipper.ipp:171: instantiated from 'boost::spirit::parse_info<const CharT*> boost::spirit::parse(const CharT*, const boost::spirit::parser<DerivedT>&, const boost::spirit::parser<SkipT>&) [with CharT = char, ParserT = boost::spirit::rule<boost::spirit::nil_t, boost::spirit::nil_t, boost::spirit::nil_t>, SkipT = boost::spirit::space_parser]' serwer_www.cpp:52: instantiated from here /usr/include/boost/spirit/core/non_terminal/impl/rule.ipp:189: error: no matching function for call to 'boost::spirit::impl::abstract_parser<boost::spirit::scanner<const char*, boost::spirit::scanner_policies<boost::spirit::iteration_policy, boost::spirit::match_policy, boost::spirit::action_policy> >, boost::spirit::nil_t>::do_parse_virtual(const boost::spirit::scanner<const char*, boost::spirit::scanner_policies<boost::spirit::skipper_iteration_policy<boost::spirit::iteration_policy>, boost::spirit::match_policy, boost::spirit::action_policy> >&)' /usr/include/boost/spirit/core/non_terminal/impl/rule.ipp:213: note: candidates are: typename boost::spirit::match_result<ScannerT, AttrT>::type boost::spirit::impl::abstract_parser<ScannerT, AttrT>::do_parse_virtual(const ScannerT&) const [with ScannerT = boost::spirit::scanner<const char*, boost::spirit::scanner_policies<boost::spirit::iteration_policy, boost::spirit::match_policy, boost::spirit::action_policy> >, AttrT = boost::spirit::nil_t] can you tell me where my code is wrong and why? -- Cheers, Michał Nowotka

[review] Formal Fast-Track review of the Boost.Functional/Factory library begins today
by John Torjo 28 Dec '07

28 Dec '07

Hi all, Today starts the formal Fast-Track review of the Boost.Functional/Factory library. *Description* Factories are callback mechanisms for constructors, so we provide two function objects, boost::value_factory and boost::factory, that encasulate object construction through direct application of the constructor or operator new, respectively. These templates make other facilities that operate on function objects (such as standard algorithms, Boost.Bind, Boost.Function, or Fusion functional adapters) applicable to constructors. *Author* Tobias Schwinger *Download* Get it from here: http://www.boost-consulting.com/vault/index.php?action=downloadfile&filenam… Read documentation online here: http://torjo.com/tobias/ What to include in Review Comments ================================== Your comments may be brief or lengthy, but basically the Review Manager needs your evaluation of the library. If you identify problems along the way, please note if they are minor, serious, or showstoppers. Here are some questions you might want to answer in your review: * What is your evaluation of the design? * What is your evaluation of the implementation? * What is your evaluation of the documentation? * What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library? * Did you try to use the library? With what compiler? Did you have any problems? * How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A quick reading? In-depth study? * Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain? And finally, every review should answer this question: * Do you think the library should be accepted as a Boost library? Be sure to say this explicitly so that your other comments don't obscure your overall opinion. Best, John Torjo - Review Manager - -- http://John.Torjo.com -- C++ expert ... call me only if you want things done right

[boost-users] [iterator_range simple question]
by chun ping wang 28 Dec '07

28 Dec '07

Does iterator_range modify the copy of the iterator (like creates a new copy) and modifys it when you modify items in iterator range or the actual container itself. ..?

hello matias, i hope i can test boost.bimap today. therefor the last days were a little bit to stressful. although i thank you very much for your help. see you soon, daniel _____________________________________________________________________ Der WEB.DE SmartSurfer hilft bis zu 70% Ihrer Onlinekosten zu sparen! http://smartsurfer.web.de/?mc=100071&distributionid=000000000066

Unable to build python/example/tutorial from 1_34_1 in Windows XP with MSVC 8.0
by Andres Corrada-Emmanuel 28 Dec '07

28 Dec '07

Hello, I've been scouring the internet and boost.org documentation to do what I thought was a relatively simple task on Windows XP with MSVC 8.0: build and import into python the hello.cpp example in the 1_34_1 distribution. Warts: - The Jamroot file in the tutorial folder lacks the "import python ;" command. - No matter what I tried, bjam.exe, could not find the boost_python-vc80-mt-1_34_1.lib file. I finally gave up and copied it directly into the tutorial directory. - bjam compiled the hello.pyd but no "boost_python.dll" as the documentation for the Hello World example said it would. Has this changed? - Importing this hello.pyd fails even when I am in the same directory as the file fails. Do I need to have the boost_python.dll in the same directory? How do I create it with bjam? Is the tutorial directory broken? my bjam.exe? Any help would be appreciated. Particularly any pointers on how to debug my problems (bjam.exe --debug-configuration was not helpful in solving any of the boost_python lib import problems). -- Andres Corrada-Emmanuel Research Fellow Aerial Imaging and Remote Sensing Lab Computer Science Department University of Massachusetts at Amherst Blog: www.corrada.com/blog

ahh, very nice. please excuse my thick-wittedness. but ... what if, if i would like to add an additional, unique key to my structure; a last update time, maybe. name-identifer-time >> value; valu1:=map[nme1], valu1:=map[idf1], valu1:=map[time1] in this case bimap will not solve my problem and multiindex will be the best solution. is that right? and for interest, how to solve the original problem in this case? thnx daniel _____________________________________________________________________ Der WEB.DE SmartSurfer hilft bis zu 70% Ihrer Onlinekosten zu sparen! http://smartsurfer.web.de/?mc=100071&distributionid=000000000066
