boost [pointer container, lambda, bind]
by chun ping wang 05 Dec '07

05 Dec '07

Say lets say i have container of regular type T. And lets say i want to insert them into ptr_vector by getting the keys. template< typename MapType, typename OutputIterator > OutputIterator getKeys(const MapType& map, OutputIterator out ) { typedef typename MapType::value_type map_type; typedef typename OutputIterator::value_type out_type; std::for_each(map.begin(), map.end(), boost::lambda::var(*out)++ = boost::lambda::construct<out_type>(boost::lambda::bind(&map_type::first, boost::lambda::_1)) ); return out; } Is it possble to do this. Assuming outputiterator is implemented for ptr_vector.

[review] Fast track formal review of Forward library begins today
by John Torjo 05 Dec '07

05 Dec '07

Hi all, The formal review of the Boost.Functional/Forward library, proposed by Tobias Schwinger, begins today : Boost.Functional/Forward provides decorator function objects to have an n-ary, generic function object accept both RValues and mutable LValues. An exponential number of overloads is needed with C98, so redundant solutions are highly undesirable. Functional/Forward is a reusable implementation asking to live in a central place in Boost. Download it from here: http://www.boost-consulting.com/vault/index.php?action=downloadfile&filenam… http://www.boost-consulting.com/vault/index.php?&direction=0&order=&directo… The documentation is included in the .zip file, in the usual place: forward/libs/functional/forward/doc/html/index.html 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. We're looking forward to your evaluation of this Boost candidate!

boost::bind upgrading from 1.33.1 to 1.34.1 problem
by sj＠sjcomp.com 05 Dec '07

05 Dec '07

Hello, I'm upgrading from boost 1.33.1 to 1.34.1 and upgrade does not let me compile the following code: // CRefCounted provides functionality to CRefPtr to have // referenced pointers struct CNode: public CRefCounted { void GetName(){} }; int main(int argc, char **argv){ typedef CRefPtr<CNode> CPNode; typedef std::multimap<std::string, CPNode> TPNodes; TPNodes Children; std::for_each( Children.begin(), Children.end(), boost::bind( &CNode::GetName, // problem in the next line boost::bind(&TPNodes::value_type::second,_1))); return 0; } I get the following messages from MSVC8.0: error C2784: 'T *boost::get_pointer(const boost::shared_ptr<T> &)' : could not deduce template argument for 'const boost::shared_ptr<T> &' from 'const CPNode' error C2784: 'T *boost::get_pointer(const std::auto_ptr<_Ty> &)' : could not deduce template argument for 'const std::auto_ptr<_Ty> &' from 'const CPNode' error C2784: 'T *boost::get_pointer(T *)' : could not deduce template argument for 'T *' from 'const CPNode' If I replace CRefPtr with boost::shared_ptr the code compiles. Hence I assume the problem is with the way I implemented CRefPtr class. Here it is: template<typename T> class CRefPtr { private: T* m_ptr; public: CRefPtr(T* ptr=NULL) :m_ptr(NULL){ *this=ptr; } CRefPtr(const CRefPtr<T>& ptr) :m_ptr(NULL){ *this=ptr; } ~CRefPtr() { if (m_ptr) { m_ptr->DecrementReference(); m_ptr=NULL; } } CRefPtr<T>& operator=(T* ptr) { if(ptr!=m_ptr) { if(m_ptr) { m_ptr->DecrementReference(); } m_ptr=ptr; if(m_ptr) { m_ptr->IncrementReference(); } } return *this; } CRefPtr<T>& operator=(const CRefPtr<T>& ptr){*this=ptr.m_ptr;return *this;} T* operator->() const{return m_ptr;} T& operator*() const{return *m_ptr;} bool operator<(const CRefPtr<T>& obj)const{if(obj.m_ptr<this->m_ptr)return true;else return false;} T* get() const{return m_ptr;} operator T*()const{return m_ptr;} }; What am I missing? Some explanation on why I went this route. I am using CRefPtr instead of shared_ptr because full CNode class has a member CNode* m_Parent. I could not figure out how to use weak pointers, but if I use CRefPtr I can assign a simple pointer returned by GetParent() to a CPNode and it would still work, while I could not achieve this result with shared_ptr. Maybe someone can direct me to a place which explains how to handle such situations properly with shared_ptr. Thanks. -- Regards, Alexander. http://sjcomp.com

Re: [Boost-users] [asio] how to specify a timeout?

Yes, timeout and read event have two different callback, in read callback you have to m_timer->cancel() to avoid receive timeout also. ----- Messaggio originale ----- Da: Arkadiy Vertleyb <vertleyb(a)hotmail.com> A: boost-users(a)lists.boost.org Inviato: Martedì 4 dicembre 2007, 16:14:40 Oggetto: Re: [Boost-users] [asio] how to specify a timeout?

Iterator over values of std::map<K, V>
by John Kiopela 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

Hi all, I have been browsing through the docs, but I couldn't find anything useful. Does Boost have a std::map<K, V>::iterator adaptor which iterates over the values of the map only. That is, I would like to have an iterator of which operator*() function returns V, instead of std::pair<K, V>. My data is stored in a std::map<K, V> and I would to allow my users to iterate over the values. If it's not here, I'll make one myself. It shouldn't be that hard. Thanks in advance. Kind regards, John

04 Dec '07

Hello all, I'm trying to build boost 1.33 64-bit libraries under HP-UX 11.23 with the help of gcc 4.1.1 thru bjam. I was confused trying to supply -mlp64 compiler and linker option to the gcc though bjam options. By default calling ``bjam'' uses Boost.Build v.1, and setting ``bjam --v2'' -- will do v.2. Uncommenting "using gcc ;" in ./tools/build/v2/ user-config.jam file led bjam to "learn" this toolset, but calling ``bjam --v2'' from the boost_1_33_0/ folder splashes this: # bjam --v2 gcc warning: Python location is not configured warning: the Boost.Python library won't be built Building Boost.Regex with the optional Unicode/ICU support disabled.

C++ Performance

Hi everybody Im a quite new boost user and I wonder, why C++ Program is so slow. I wrote a program, and I have the same program in Matlab, I expected that my C++ version is much faster, but its not. I use matrices, vectors, matrix- and vector proxies. Do some solving and compute calculations with prod, element_div, etc.. Is boost in general slower than matlab, should I use something else? Id be real happy about any help.

program_options: Printing description problem
by sj＠sjcomp.com 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

Hello, When I try to output options_description to cout (response to --help option, to show all available options) I get an assertion in in xstring header file. It's caused by execution format_paragraph function in option_description.cpp line 381. I narrowed down the problem to the length of the description for an option. This is the code: #include <boost/program_options.hpp> namespace po = boost::program_options; int main(int argc, char **argv){ po::options_description desc("t"); desc.add_options()("h", "1234567890qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnmQWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZ"); po::variables_map vm; po::store(po::parse_command_line(argc, argv, desc), vm); po::notify(vm); if(vm.count("h")){std::cout<<desc<<"\n"; return 1;} return 0; } If I remove last Z in the description of h parameter the program works, otherwise it crashes. If I replace the message with some words, meaning if spaces are present, it still crashes (that's how I originally discovered the problem). What am I doing wrong, or how can I avoid this situation (other than decreasing the length of the descriptions for all of my parameters). I'm using boost 1.33.1 (how can I find out what was done to program_options in 1.34.1?) and Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Professional. The project is compiled as Multi-threaded DLL Thanks. -- Regards, Alexander. http://sjcomp.com

Problems with boost::parameter macros &
by StephQ 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

I have the following 3 problems: 1) I can not use BOOST_PARAMETER_MEMBER_FUNCTION (and the const version) inside a template class. The following code: #include <boost/parameter.hpp> BOOST_PARAMETER_NAME(mu) BOOST_PARAMETER_NAME(sigma) template<class T1> class mah { private: int t1; int t2; public: BOOST_PARAMETER_MEMBER_FUNCTION( (void), set, tag, (optional (mu, *, 1) (sigma, *, 2) ) ) { t1 = mu; t2 = sigma; } }; int main() { mah<int> chissa; chissa.set( 2, 1 ); } Results in (with MSVC, similar error with gcc 3.4 cygwin): 1>c:\develop\essl_alpha\essl\test\parametertest1.cpp(27) : warning C4346: 'boost::parameter::aux::argument_pack<mah<T1>:: boost_param_params_27set<int>>::type' : dependent name is not a type 1> prefix with 'typename' to indicate a type 1> c:\develop\essl_alpha\essl\test\parametertest1.cpp(32) : see reference to class template instantiation 'mah<T1>' being compiled 1>c:\develop\essl_alpha\essl\test\parametertest1.cpp(27) : error C2923: 'mah<T1>::boost_param_result_27set' : 'boost::parameter::aux::argument_pack<mah<T1>:: boost_param_params_27set<int>>::type' is not a valid template type argument for parameter 'Args' 1>c:\develop\essl_alpha\essl\test\parametertest1.cpp(27) : warning C4346: 'mah<T1>::boost_param_result_27set::type' : dependent name is not a type 1> prefix with 'typename' to indicate a type 1>c:\develop\essl_alpha\essl\test\parametertest1.cpp(27) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'set' 1>c:\develop\essl_alpha\essl\test\parametertest1.cpp(27) : error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int 1>c:\develop\essl_alpha\essl\test\parametertest1.cpp(27) : warning C4183: 'set': missing return type; assumed to be a member function returning 'int' 2) I would like to create a class template for a "named tuple", something like: named_tuple<int,double,mu,sigma> n; // mu, sigma previously declared, maybe BOOST_PARAMETER_NAME? // should contain two variables of type int, double. Would be really nice if they are named exactly _mu and _sigma, so I need boost PP or something? n.set( _mu=1, _sigma=2.0 ); // set internal variables n.set( _mu=1 ); double x = n.get( _sigma ); n.get( _mu, _sigma ); // This returns a tuple with the internal values. I think a class like this could be really usefull, and it would be really nice to see tuples get this extension. IMHO they are very clear from a user point of view. The problem (apart from problem 1) is that the macro BOOST_PARAMETER_MEMBER_FUNCTION does not play nicely if I just put a template parameter (say N1 of named_tuple<T1,T2,N1,N2>) instead of mu in BOOST_PARAMETER_MEMBER_FUNCTION( (void), set, tag, (optional (mu, *, 1) (sigma, *, 2) ) Again I suspect I need boost PP or use directly ArgumentPack. 3) How should I consider the overloading of a BOOST_PARAMETER_MEMBER_FUNCTION? Is it fine to just write the following? class mah2 : public mah // mah as before but with no templates. { public: template<class A1, class A2> void set( A1 a1, A2 a2 ) // need to supply defaults here... { mah<int,int>::set( a1, a2 ); } }; As usual any help is extremely appreciated. Thank you in advance. Best Regards StephQ

(not using indexing.. since it doesn't work with all types). Thanks. Something that is equalivent to python, for x,y in xArray, yArray: # do some awesome stuff. print x, y

I don't believe it as well, since I tried to implement it over the weekend, but I got always stuck, so I thought may be the boost gurus know how to do it ;) Thanks for your answer!

[type_traits] checking if some type is copy constructible or assignable
by Ovanes Markarian 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

Hello all! I am wondering, why the type_traits do not have a construct to check if some type is copy constructible (I mean if the copy constructor is available (public) or not). May be it can be implemented via calculating at compile time if some type can be copied or not... May be it is not possible at all. With Kind Regards, Ovanes

I wrote a simple "Hello, world!" program to test if boost/asio was working correctly: #include <iostream> #include <boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time.hpp> int main() { std::cout << "Hello, world!\n"; return 0; } But, I get this: (GCC C++ 4.1.2/Linux version 2.6.22-gentoo-r8) test.cpp:(.text+0x10b): undefined reference to `boost::system::get_system_category()' test.cpp:(.text+0x115): undefined reference to `boost::system::get_posix_category()' test.cpp:(.text+0x11f): undefined reference to `boost::system::get_posix_category()' test.cpp:(.text+0x129): undefined reference to `boost::system::get_system_category()' This happens when I used '#include <boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time.hpp>' I can't figure out what I'm missing

serialization of vector of pointers
by Stathis 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

Hi, What is the right way to serialize/deserialize a container of pointers, e.g. std::vector< int* > ? I want to store the values, not the addresses in this case. Should I just flatten my data and store it in a different fashion, then read the flat data and build my objects with a builder? I ended up storing the size of the container in a separate variable before the data, when serializing. Then when deserializing, I use this size value to scale the container, create new ints, read their individual values via the deserialized data values and finally store them back to the new object. Can you give an example of how to do this better? cheers, --stathis

[serialization] Can binary-objects be trackable ?
by Youhei Murakami 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

Hello everyone. I found a description pasted below in boost/serialization/binary_object.hpp. Does this description means that binary-objects can't track ? [ in binary_object.hpp ] // don't track binary objects - usually they will be created on the stack // and tracking algorithm (which uses the object address) might get // confused. note that these address will likely be members of some // other structure which itself is tracked, so as a practical matter // suppressing tracking shouldn't cause any redundancy. BOOST_CLASS_TRACKING(binary_object, boost::serialization::track_never) #endif // BOOST_SERIALIZATION_BINARY_OBJECT_HPP

Copying types from a mpl vector to a fusion vector
by Germán Diago 02 Dec '07

02 Dec '07

Hello. I'm trying to build a library and I'm doing heavy use of boost mpl and fusion libraries. I'd like to know a way to fill a boost::fusion::vector<> with the types contained in a boost::mpl::vector. Anyone knows how to do this? The code I have so far: template <class T1, class T2, class T3, class T4, class T5, class T6, class T7, class T8, class T9, class T10> struct Func { //This is the initial sequence typedef typename boost::mpl::vector<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8, T9, T10> sequence; //The sequence without NullTypes typedef typename boost::mpl::filter_view<sequence, boost::mpl::not_<boost::is_same<NullType, boost::mpl::_1> > >::type validsequence; //The vector I want to fill with validsequence. Note that this is a fusion vector, not a mpl vector typedef boost::fusion::vector<> voidvector; /***************PROBLEM HERE*******************/ //I want to copy validsequence types into voidvector typedef typename somewaytocopy::type type; }; Thanks in advance.

[regex] problem with regular expression
by John Kiopela 02 Dec '07

02 Dec '07

Hi all, I am having some troubles with making a regular expression to parse a file of financial data. First, the file looks like this (simplified): BEGIN FINANCIAL INFORMATION 0 4 John (the name is mentioned somewhere between the two tags) 6 3 8 END FINANCIAL INFORMATION BEGIN FINANCIAL INFORMATION 0 David 6 8 END FINANCIAL INFORMATION BEGIN FINANCIAL INFORMATION 2 4 7 4 0 3 John 6 8 END FINANCIAL INFORMATION I want to create a regular expression which gives me all financial informations of John. My first try was: "BEGIN FINANCIAL INFORMATION.*?John.*?END FINANCIAL INFORMATION" The problem here is that the second ".*?" also matches "END FINANCIAL INFORMATION", which means that the following substring is also a match: BEGIN FINANCIAL INFORMATION 0 David 6 8 END FINANCIAL INFORMATION BEGIN FINANCIAL INFORMATION 2 4 7 4 0 3 John 6 8 END FINANCIAL INFORMATION Can somebody please help me with this regular expression? I'm trying to find out how I can type "any character except the string 'END FINANCIAL INFORMATION'", but without succes so far. Thanks in advance. Kind regards, John

boost-users [boost lambda, boost foreach]
by chun ping wang 02 Dec '07

02 Dec '07

Hi, lets say i have two arbitary container of any stl type. template < class T, template <typename ELEM, typename = std::allocator<ELEM> > class CONT > typename boost::enable_if<boost::is_floating_point<T>, T>::type getManhattanDistance(const CONT<T>& ObjectX, const CONT<T>& ObjectY) I want to be able to iterate through both containers to get the euclidean distance.. i.e. sqrt of sum of each item in ObjectX - ObjectY square. Psuedocode looks like this.. /*********************************************** * getManhattanDistance(ObjectX, ObjectY) * * overAllSum <-- 0 * * for i <-- 0 to sizeof (ObjectX) * * Xn <-- ObjectX[i] * * Yn <-- ObjectY[i] * * difference <-- (Xn - Yn) * -1 * * overAllSum <-- overAllSum + difference * ***********************************************/ but i want to make it as abstract (allowing nonindexable containers) but also clear as possible without losing speed. Whats the best way to do this using boost library.

Runtime memory corruption occurs when serializing tree-structure as binary-archive.
