Problem using Boost Graph Library - Python Bindings
by Camilo La Rota 24 Oct '07

24 Oct '07

Hello all, I have just installed the Boost Graph Library - Python Bindings. Everything seemed to be ok, I can read a graph from the example "mst.dot" file and from my own ".dot" files, I can write them back to a file. However, when I try the example script (at the end of the following page: http://www.osl.iu.edu/~dgregor/bgl-python/) -------------------------------------------------------------------- import boost.graph as bgl # Load a graph from the GraphViz file 'mst.dot' graph = bgl.Graph.read_graphviz('mst.dot') # Convert the weight into floating-point values weight = graph.convert_property_map(graph.edge_properties['weight'], 'float') ... etc ------------------------------------------------------------------- it stops at the third line with the following error: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#17>", line 1, in <module> weight = graph.convert_property_map(graph.edge_properties['weight'],'float') KeyError: 'weight' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I receive the same error message if I write only: graph.edge_properties['weight'] The content of the example mst.dot file is: -------------------------------------------------- graph G { A -- C [weight="1.0"] B -- D [weight="1.0"] B -- E [weight="2.0"] C -- B [weight="7.0"] C -- D [weight="3.0"] D -- E [weight="1.0"] E -- A [weight="1.0"] E -- B [weight="1.0"] } -------------------------------------------------- Does any one have any idea about the source of this error. Thanks a lot in advance, Camilo

seeding a boost::random number generator...?
by Graham Reitz 24 Oct '07

24 Oct '07

I am little confused on how to see a random generator. What am I missing? // Grab the seed HighResTimer::Time time_secs = high_res_timer.getTime(); // Go ahead and truncate, it's just a seed boost::int32_t time = static_cast<boost::int32_t>(time_secs * 100000); // produces randomness out of thin air // see pseudo-random number generators boost::mt19937 rng; rng.seed(); // How do you seed this with the time? // distribution that maps to 0..1 // see random number distributions boost::uniform_real<> zero_to_one(0,1); // glues randomness with mapping boost::variate_generator<boost::mt19937&, boost::uniform_real<> > be_random zero_to_one);

Boost features targeting Banking Application - Please share your thoughts!!!!!!
by jayaram.x.ganapathy＠jpmorgan.com 23 Oct '07

23 Oct '07

Hi, I am a C++/JAVA developer. Today someone was saying it is time to migrate from legacy C++ systems to JAVA. I love C++ :-( The trend in banking industry or belief in Banking projects is C++ is outdated and JAVA is the solution. One reason I felt is lack of open source enterprise level middlewares for C++. For java we have many EJB servers, Spring framework is there. Will boost be building libraries which will help to build enterprise level application? Some API's like iBatis, hibernate etc. Something similar to JSP and Tomcat equivalent? I think those will attract more developers to C++. Boost community is doing an excellent job. But how much is the industry going to use? Regards, Jayaram ----------------------------------------- This communication is for informational purposes only.

Boost.MPI compilation problems with MPICH2
by Aydın Buluç 22 Oct '07

22 Oct '07

Hi all, I was a happy user of Boost.MPI that was working together with the underlying OpenMPI. However, MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE support of OpenMPI is quite clumsy and it hangs frequently (OpenMPI developers call this as being "lightly tested"). So, I installed MPICH2 that claims to supports thread-safe MPI. At the same time, I didn't want to remove my working OpenMPI implementation and my old Boost libraries built on top of that. Therefore, I rebuilt Boost (--with-mpi) using the new mpicxx of MPICH (so that it finds the correct MPICH2 directories, etc) on a different location . Everything went ok during compilation and installation. However, I have compilation errors when trying to run any mpi program. For example, with the test suite provided by Boost.MPI itself, I get errors like (this is for all_gather.cpp specifically but I get similar ones with every other test): ------------------------------------- /tmp/ccbyPLBK.o: In function `void boost::mpi::detail::all_gather_impl<int>(boost::mpi::communicator const&, int const*, int, int*, mpl_::bool_<true>)':all_gather_test.cpp:(.gnu.linkonce.t._ZN5boost3mpi6detail15all_gather_implIiEEvRKNS0_12communicatorEPKT_iPS6_N4mpl_5bool_ILb1EEE[void boost::mpi::detail::all_gather_impl<int>(boost::mpi::communicator const&, int const*, int, int*, mpl_::bool_<true>)]+0x1c): undefined reference to `boost::mpi::communicator::operator int() const' /tmp/ccbyPLBK.o: In function `void boost::mpi::detail::broadcast_impl<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > >(boost::mpi::communicator const&, std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >*, int, int, mpl_::bool_<false>)':all_gather_test.cpp:(.gnu.linkonce.t._ZN5boost3mpi6detail14broadcast_implISsEEvRKNS0_12communicatorEPT_iiN4mpl_5bool_ILb0EEE[void boost::mpi::detail::broadcast_impl<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > >(boost::mpi::communicator const&, std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >*, int, int, mpl_::bool_<false>)]+0x27): undefined reference to `boost::mpi::communicator::operator int() const' ------------------------------------- I "quadruple-checked" to see that the versions of mpicxx/libraries/include directories all belong to the new installation of MPICH2 and not remainders of old OpenMPI installation. Thus, I don't think that is a binary incompatibility issue. MPICH2 implementation works OK alone (without boost) and the old Boost+OpenMPI installation libraries also still work. But the new Boost+MPICH2 libraries... ihhh :( Any suggestions and pointers will be appreciated. Thanks, -- Aydin

Adjacency matrix problem

Hi I m trying to implement adjacency matrix. typedef boost::adjacency_matrix<boost::undirectedS> Graph; Graph(N); Now here can the N be a variable as what i want is create graph by varying the value of N which taken as an input from user. Following is the snippet of my code... int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int SIZE; cout<<"\n Enter the matrix size (nxn) :-"; cin>>SIZE; Graph g(SIZE); .................... ..................... return 0; } And the runtime error is as follows :- Assertion failed: false, file BoostLib/boost_1_34_1/boost/graph/adjacency_matrix.hpp, line 941 Same code works fine in case of adjacency_list but in case of adjacency_matrix it is giving run time error. What could be the reason for this...

problem integrating lambda and gsl
by Luke Shulenburger 22 Oct '07

22 Oct '07

I am writing some code that involves several uses of the gnu scientific library that I am trying to streamline using boost lambda. I am having some newbie problems with some rather lengthy compiler errors. Here's a fairly minimal set description of my problem. First I have a functor class that does some relatively complicated processing: class functor : public std::unary_function<double,double> { public: double operator()(double x) const { // do some work here return something; } } For use with the gsl, I have created a wrapper to make this linto something that can be handled by the gsl routines: template<class func> double gslfunc(double x, void* p) { func* f = reinterpret_cast<functor*>(p); return (*f)(p); } I now have the following function that allows me to use gsl routines: template<class func> double myRoutine(func& f) { gsl_function F; F.function = &gslfunc<functor>; F.params = reinterpret_cast<void*>(&f); // call some gsl routines with the gsl_function return something; } I can now use gsl routines on the above functor with no difficulty. What I would like to be able to do is use lambda expressions to make slight modifications to the underlying functor, for example take the following code snippet: functor f; myRoutine(bind(f,_1)+1); However, this dies a horrible death upon compilation complaining that there is no available conversion from the type that is generated by bind(f,_1)+1 to void*. I suspect that there is no way to get a pointer to a lambda'd function and that this is causing my problem. Am I correct? I would happy to provide any more details about what I am doing or the gsl bindings if that would be helpful. Thanks for your consideration. Luke Shulenburger (shulenbu(a)uiuc.edu)

boost::format: get expected number of arguments
by Ruben Lopez 22 Oct '07

22 Oct '07

Hi, I am using boost::format in my project, and I would need to know what is the exact number of arguments expected, because the format is written by the end-user, and the program has no way to know it. I have seen that the format class actually has some attributes with this value, but I couldn't see any public methods to get them. Is there any way of getting the expected number of arguments? Thanks in advance.

which libs to link to for serialization?

Hi, I have an installer for win32 which installs the boost libraries. I'm trying to link to the serialization libraries, and several copies have been created in the boost/lib folder: libboost_serialization-vc80-mt-1_33_1.lib libboost_serialization-vc80-mt-gd-1_33_1.lib libboost_serialization-vc80-mt-s-1_33_1.lib libboost_serialization-vc80-mt-sgd-1_33_1.lib Which version should be linked to when? Right now I'm using a trial and error method to see which one my win32 apps can link to without linking errors. Thanks, Mark

[Graph] edge list cache
by Krishna Roskin 20 Oct '07

20 Oct '07

Hello all, I'm working on implicitly defined graphs using the graph boost library. The out_edges function (for example) generates the list of out edges on the fly and returns a shared_container_iterator. Creating this list takes a non-trivial amount of time and so I'd like to cache the result of out_edges so that future calls don't duplicate. But I'm not sure how to do this and still fit within the "BGL way." My first instinct was to add the cache as a member of the graph. But this means that out_edges has to take a non-const reference so that it can update the graph and this causes problems for filtered_graph and reverse_graph. Right now I'm toying with making my cache global and keyed to the address of the graph but this seems inelegant. Anyone have any suggestions? -krish

[general] bash script to filter compiler output
by Robbie Morrison 20 Oct '07

20 Oct '07

Hi all Postings here often comment on the amount of compiler output generated when using Boost libraries. I found the following script quite useful when trying to track down both bad practice and real errors in my own code. It works something like this: $ callfilter -6 make This script filters the compiler output based on the options -0 thru -7. Option -- has no effect and is provided for typing convenience. Options -5 and -6 are typically the most useful. Some comments at the start of the script provide more information. I find g++ -Weffc++ often rather helpful, but its use definitely requires some form of output screening. Here is the usage message for this script: usage: callfilter [-01234567] <call> modified call with output filtering callfilter -- <call> straight call (provided for convenience) callfilter --help|-h display usage message and quit purpose: append selected filters to build calls to suppress Boost library output additive: 0 2>&1 1 | grep -v 'boost::' | grep -v 'std::tr1::' 2 | grep -v '/include/boost-1_34_1/' | grep -v '/include/c++/4.1.2/tr1/' 4 | grep -v 'instantiated from' examples: $ callfilter -- make $ callfilter -7 g++ -Wall -Weffc++ usingboost.cc -o usingboost If anyone has improvements, let me know.

[tuple] easy way to bind to get
by Chris Weed 19 Oct '07

19 Oct '07

Hi, I would like to bind to the boost::get<N> function for use by transform iterator. This is the pseudo code if get worked like a simple function. std::vector<tuple<int,int,float> > v(2); v[0] = tuple<int,int,float>(2,2,2.2f); v[1] = tuple<int,int,float>(3,3,3.3f); std::accumulate( boost::make_transform_iterator( v.begin(), boost::lambda::bind(&boost::get<1>,_1)), boost::make_transform_iterator( v.end(), boost::lambda::bind(&boost::get<1>,_1)), 0); I find bind is difficult to use for functions that deduce template arguments from function arguments. I thought if I changed boost::get<1> -> boost::get<1,tuple<int,int,float> > That didn't work either. Digging through tuple.hpp makes my head spin. Is there an easy way to do this. Thanks, Chris

Warning binding member functions returning template types on MSVC80
by Josef Grahn 19 Oct '07

19 Oct '07

Hi, Visual Studio 2005 gives me warning C4180 ("qualifier applied to function type has no meaning; ignored") when binding member functions that has a templatized type as return type with boost::bind, but I can't see any reason why it should. The following example reproduces the warning: #include <boost/bind.hpp> template <typename T> struct Foo {}; struct Bar { Foo<void> f() { return Foo<void>(); } int g() { return 0; } }; Foo<void> f() { return Foo<void>(); } int main(int argc, const char **argv) { Bar b; boost::bind(&Bar::f, &b); // Warning C4180 (see below) boost::bind(&Bar::g, &b); // No warning boost::bind(f); // No warning return 0; } So far as I have tested, the program appears to function properly. The full warning is as follows (paths shortened): C:\...\boost/bind.hpp(1575) : warning C4180: qualifier applied to function type has no meaning; ignored C:\...\boost/bind.hpp(1609) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::_bi::add_cref<Pm,I>' being compiled with [ Pm=Foo<void> (__thiscall Bar::* )(void), I=1 ] ..\..\..\src\main.cpp(14) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::_bi::dm_result<Pm,A1>' being compiled with [ Pm=Foo<void> (__thiscall Bar::* )(void), A1=Bar * ] GCC 4.1.2 on Linux compiles the code without warnings. Any insights are greatly appreciated! Best regards, Josef Grahn

BGL: Bundled Properties with pointer type
by Benoît Dagon 19 Oct '07

19 Oct '07

Hi all, It's my first time submitting a question on a newsgroup so pardon me if I'm wrong in my way of doing. I have a graph of type BoostGraph_t defined like typedef boost::adjacency_list <vecS, vecS, undirectedS, NodeProperty*, EdgeProperty*> BoostGraph_t; with vertex and edge properties types defined as pointer on the following stuctures struct EdgeProperty { long m_id; double m_length; }; struct NodeProperty { long m_id; }; I'm now trying to use the dijkstra_shortest_paths() function with the edge length as parameter for the weigh_map function argument. But the call to the following function get(&EdgeProperty::m_length, m_graph); returns me the following errors ****** e:\Boost\boost\graph\properties.hpp(337) : error C2825: 'Bundle::*': cannot form a qualified name e:\Boost\boost\graph\properties.hpp(337) : error C2226: syntax error : unexpected type 'Graph' e:\Boost\boost\graph\properties.hpp(337) : error C2334: unexpected token(s) preceding ':'; skipping apparent function body e:\Boost\boost\graph\properties.hpp(342) : error C2825: 'Bundle::*': cannot form a qualified name e:\Boost\boost\graph\properties.hpp(342) : error C2657: '`global namespace'::*' found at the start of a statement (did you forget to specify a type?) e:\Boost\boost\graph\properties.hpp(342) : error C2653: 'operator``global namespace''' : is not a class or namespace name e:\Boost\boost\graph\properties.hpp(342) : error C2501: 'boost::bundle_property_map<Graph,Descriptor,Bundle,T>::pm' : missing storage-class or type specifiers with [ Graph=boost::adjacency_list<boost::vecS,boost::vecS, boost::undirectedS,NodeProperty *,EdgeProperty *>, Descriptor=boost::property_map<boost::adjacency_list<boost::vecS, boost::vecS,boost::undirectedS,NodeProperty *,EdgeProperty *>, double EdgeProperty::* >::descriptor, Bundle=boost::property_map<boost::adjacency_list<boost::vecS, boost::vecS,boost::undirectedS,NodeProperty *,EdgeProperty *>, double EdgeProperty::* >::actual_bundle, T=double ] ****** I know it's working correctly if I use NodeProperty and EdgeProperty for graph template arguments instead of pointers. But I would like to know if it's possible to do it in that way and how would be the correct syntax for the get() to work properly. Many thanks in advance for your help! ~Benoît

Re: [Boost-users] [fusion] subset view
by dan marsden 19 Oct '07

19 Oct '07

>I would like to make a subset view of the element in a tuple. It >would, for example, give me a view into the first, third, and fifth >element of the tuple. It isn't clear how to do this with the available >views. You could do the following (untested): * Use zip to zip an mpl range of numeric indexes to your sequence * Use filter to extract the positions you want, based on the indices zipped on above * Use transform to remove the position labels so the sequence elements are just your desired data. The above works only if you need const access, as the algorithms return views to const data. If you need non-const data, you can use the corresponding views. The above is somewhat awkward, if there is some criteria other than position index that can be used to extract your elements, you may be able to do a lot better. Or you could choose different data structures to start off with, for example if you really have 2 subsets of elements, sub0 and sub1, and you know they're separate, store them in 2 fusion containers, and when you need to work on the whole, use fusion::join to glue them together.

sorting an ublas matrix by a certain column
by Alexander Schmolck 19 Oct '07

19 Oct '07

Hi, If I have a boost::numeric::ublas::vector<double> v, I can use the STL's sort and boost::lambda. sort(v.begin(), v.end(), _1<_2); How do I do the same with matrix<double>, using, say column 3 as sort key (i.e. I want to reorder the rows in the matrix by their 3rd entry)? sort(m.begin1(), m.end1(), _1[3]<_2[3]); won't do the trick, and I really have a hard time figuring out what does. In case it's not clear what I want, here's an example: [0,0,1,4 0,0,2,3 0,0,3,2 0,0,4,1] => [0,0,4,1 0,0,3,2 0,0,2,3 0,0,1,4] cheers, 'as
