Newbie: BGL & planar graphs
by ano kato 13 Dec '17

13 Dec '17

Hello everyone! I am using BGL to test for the planarity of drawings of graphs. The coordinates are hardcoded into the source code. Here's what the graph should look like: <https://i.imgur.com/UGA0mRB.png>. This definitely isn't planar and yet is_straight_line_drawing() returns 1! I'm quite confused. Am I doing something wrong? Thank you to anyone who replies. #include <iostream> #include <vector> #include <boost/graph/adjacency_list.hpp> #include <boost/property_map/property_map.hpp> #include <boost/graph/is_straight_line_drawing.hpp> using namespace boost; typedef struct { size_t x,y; } coord_t; int main(void) { typedef adjacency_list<vecS, vecS, undirectedS, property<vertex_index_t, int> > graph; graph Moser(7); add_edge(0,1,Moser); add_edge(0,6,Moser); add_edge(0,4,Moser); add_edge(1,6,Moser); add_edge(1,2,Moser); add_edge(2,6,Moser); add_edge(2,5,Moser); add_edge(2,3,Moser); add_edge(3,4,Moser); add_edge(4,5,Moser); graph G(Moser); int k = num_vertices(G); typedef std::vector<coord_t> cvec; typedef boost::iterator_property_map <cvec::iterator, property_map<graph, vertex_index_t>::type // ? > foo_t; cvec v(num_vertices(G)); foo_t drawing(v.begin(), get(vertex_index, G)); coord_t x[k]; x[0].x = 20; x[0].y = 10; x[1].x = 50; x[1].y = 10; x[2].x = 58; x[2].y = 52; x[3].x = 00; x[3].y = 30; x[4].x = 35; x[4].y = 50; x[5].x = 12; x[5].y = 51; x[6].x = 70; x[6].y = 30; graph_traits<graph>::vertex_iterator vi, vi_end; for(boost::tie(vi, vi_end) = vertices(G); vi != vi_end; ++vi) put(drawing, *vi, x[*vi]); if(is_straight_line_drawing(G,drawing)) std::cout << "This is a straight line planar drawing!" << std::endl; return 0; }

(Newbie) Embedded programming, memory pools, and allocate_shared()
by Steven Boswell II 13 Dec '17

13 Dec '17

I apologize for bothering the mailing-list with this newbie question, but after searching the Net for several days, I still can't find the answers I'm looking for. I am considering using Boost for a project I'm doing on an embedded system.I can't seem to find a lot of discussion on the particulars of Boost in embedded systems, just a few here and there.The biggest relevant limitation in embedded programming is on dynamic memory allocation -- the usual pattern is to allocate all necessary memory in "startup" phases, e.g. launching the program, loading the next playing-field in a game application, etc. I believe I can do what I want with allocate_shared() and fixed-size memory pools.The first big issue I have is trying to figure out the size of the objects that'll be allocated from the pool.I don't want to just allocate a raw block of memory; I want to allocate a block with space for a certain number of objects of a homogeneous type.But an object_pool for a type T doesn't accurately reflect what allocate_shared() is going to try to create.From much digging around, it looks like it's actually creating a subclass of boost::detail::sp_counted_base, e.g. boost::detail::sp_counted_impl_pd<P,D>, boost::detail::sp_counted_impl_pda<P,D,A>, etc.It seems like I'm not supposed to refer to that class directly, but I don't know how else to get the size of individual objects for my pool-allocator.Also, navigating all the template-parameters needed by these classes is proving to be mind-twisting. Probably just because I'm seeing it for the first time. Another example of where I need to track down the implementation class is with async-operation handlers in Boost::ASIO, e.g. completion handlers for socket's async_read_some(), generic handlers passed to io_service::post(), and so on. In the case of socket::async_read_some(), there's an example in boost/doc/html/boost_asio/example/cpp03/allocation/server.cpp which shows how to allocate completion-handlers from a pool, but not how to get the size of the necessary completion-handler class. It appears the class is boost::asio::detail::reactive_socket_recv_op<>. Again, this doesn't seem to be a public class, nor can I find a nice public typedef for it. Can anyone advise me on how to use Boost in this way?All of the Boost memory-pools I've seen so far either just allocate chunks of raw memory, or they allocate non-shared variants of objects.A memory-pool with a given number of spaces for the final object type seems like a defensible, traditional solution, but it doesn't seem that Boost makes that easy.Am I way off base here? Thanks for any help. -Steven

[thread] clock_gettime warning on OS X
by James Walker 13 Dec '17

13 Dec '17

I'm getting a warning in the file boost/thread/pthread/timespec.hpp pointing out that clock_gettime is only available on macOS 10.12 and later. This code is being compiled on macOS 10.13, but should be compatible with macOS versions back to 10.7. How can I fix it? Maybe change the setting of BOOST_THREAD_USEFIXES_TIMESPEC, which I don't see any documentation for?

[SmartPtr] local_weak_ptr?
by Rob Conde 11 Dec '17

11 Dec '17

How are boost::local_shared_ptr and boost::weak_ptr intended to be used together? I expected a local_weak_ptr, but it's not there so I'm wondering how you would (correctly) use local_shared_ptr and weak_ptr, or if you need local_weak_ptr and this is just still on the TODO list? Thanks, Rob Conde
