MSVC6 and tuple
by Tom Matelich 17 Dec '01

17 Dec '01

I have a tuple as a member of one of my classes, and it appears, that MSVC 6 requires me to do a using boost::tuple, rather than declaring it with the boost namespace at the var. For this declaration in my header: boost::tuple<int, double> willis; I get the following error: file.h(161) : error C2059: syntax error : '<' file.h(161) : error C2238: unexpected token(s) preceding ';' If I add the using (which I would prefer not to do), the declaration: tuple<int, double> willis; works fine. Any suggestions?

Hi, I compiled this program: transitive_closure_test.cpp with: g++ -ftemplate-depth-30 -I /net/cooler/vol/export/proteome/murvai/CC/BOOST/boost_1_26_0/ transitive_closure_test.cpp then I run: Created graph with 13 vertices. transitive_closure Segmentation fault (core dumped) Exit 139 What can I do in this case? Thank you, Janos

Why not "if (px != rpx) " ?
by Louis Lavery 17 Dec '01

17 Dec '01

Hello, The following is use by the boost shared_ptr assignment operators (see boost\smart_ptr.hpp)... void share(T* rpx, long* rpn) { if (pn != rpn) { // Q: why not px != rpx? A: fails when both == 0 ++*rpn; // done before dispose() in case rpn transitively // dependent on *this (bug reported by Ken Johnson) dispose(); px = rpx; pn = rpn; } } // share ...I curious to know what it means by "fails when both == 0". I mean, I can't see as the sky would fall in if the test was "if (px != rpx)". Am I missing something? Thanks, Louis.

preprocessor/min and MSVC
by Rodney.Schuler＠ing-dm.com 14 Dec '01

14 Dec '01

I saw the boost preprocessor library and I thought that BOOST_PREPROCESSOR_MIN might help solve a problem in some code that I am maintaining. This code has the naive implementation of MIN and MAX: #define MIN(a,b) ((a)<(b)?(a):(b)) This code also has many (tens of thousands!) of places where a function calls are used as arguments to MIN and MAX like this: foo=MIN(func(args1),func(args2)) The function called is a very long running function. The performance hit taken by three evaluations of the function is a problem I am working to fix. I know the best solution is to add some local variables, and store the results of the functions in them, then use MIN on the local vars. But I'd like to get some Idea of how much performance increase I am likely to get by crawling through the code and fixing all the occurrences of MIN(func(args1),func(args2)) Wondering if BOOST_PREPROCESSOR_MIN had a way to make only two evaluations of func I wrote: #include <iostream> #include <boost/preprocessor/min.hpp> using std::cout; using std::endl; int func(int i) { cout << " func called " << i << endl; return i; } int main () { cout << "result " << BOOST_PREPROCESSOR_MIN(func(1),func(2)) << "\n" << endl; cout << "result " << BOOST_PREPROCESSOR_MIN(func(4),func(3)) << "\n" << endl; return 0; } And my compilers (MSVC 5 sp3 and MSVC 6 sp5) responded thusly: C:\temp\boostminvc5\main.cpp(15) : error C2065: 'BOOST_PREPROCESSOR_IF_BOOLBOOST_PREPROCESSOR_BOOLBOOST_PREPROCESSOR_IF_BOOLBOOST_PREPROCESSOR_BOOLBOOST_PREPROCESSOR_NOR_BOOLBOOST_PREPROCESSOR_BOOLBOOST_PREPROCESSOR_ADDBOOST_PREPROCESSOR_SUBfunc' : undeclared identifier C:\temp\boostminvc5\main.cpp(15) : error C2065: 'BOOST_PREPROCESSOR_SUBfunc' : undeclared identifier C:\temp\boostminvc5\main.cpp(15) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'BOOST_PREPROCESSOR_BOOLBOOST_PREPROCESSOR_ADDBOOST_PREPROCESSOR_SUBfunc' C:\temp\boostminvc5\main.cpp(15) : error C2065: 'BOOST_PREPROCESSOR_BOOLBOOST_PREPROCESSOR_ADDBOOST_PREPROCESSOR_SUBfunc' : undeclared identifier C:\temp\boostminvc5\main.cpp(15) : error C2065: 'BOOST_PREPROCESSOR_NOR_BOOLBOOST_PREPROCESSOR_BOOLBOOST_PREPROCESSOR_SUBfunc' : undeclared identifier C:\temp\boostminvc5\main.cpp(15) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ')' before identifier 'BOOST_PREPROCESSOR_BOOLBOOST_PREPROCESSOR_SUBfunc' C:\temp\boostminvc5\main.cpp(16) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'BOOST_PREPROCESSOR_BOOLBOOST_PREPROCESSOR_ADDBOOST_PREPROCESSOR_SUBfunc' C:\temp\boostminvc5\main.cpp(16) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ')' before identifier 'BOOST_PREPROCESSOR_BOOLBOOST_PREPROCESSOR_SUBfunc' First, this is a bug report. Second, can anybody answer my question does BOOST_PREPROCESSOR_MIN get around the unnecessary evaluations problem? Thanks -Rodney Rodney.Schuler(a)ing-dm.com

boost.regex and submatches

Look more closely at your expression: it has only *two* marked sub-expressions, $1 gets "overwritten" each time it matches. - John Maddock http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/john_maddock/

boost.regex and submatches
by markus_schoepflin 13 Dec '01

Hi all, I'm trying to match strings of the form "a&b&c&d" with the following expression: "(?:([^&]+)&)*([^&]+)". This nicely matches the whole string but instead of giving me the submatches "a", "b", "c" and "d" I just get "c" and "d". Could anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Sample code, tested with MSVC6SP5 and Boost 1.26.0: #include <boost/regex.hpp> #include <string> #include <iostream> void main(void) { const char *input ="a&b&c&d"; const boost::regex syntax("(?:([^&]+)&)*([^&]+)"); boost::cmatch matches; if(boost::regex_match(input, matches, syntax)) { for (boost::cmatch::size_type i = 0; i < matches.size(); ++i) std::cout << static_cast<std::string>(matches[i]) << '\n'; } } Tia, Markus

However, there is support in Boost for what you're trying to do - through boost::any. Like I said before, the solution will not be very clean, but it will work. The code snippet below seems to do what you're asking for: #include <iostream> #include <algorithm> #include <vector> #include <Boost\Any.hpp> class A { public: virtual void func1() { std::cout << "A::func1()\n"; }; }; class B : public A { public: void func1() { std::cout << "B::func1()\n"; }; void funcB() { std::cout << "B::funcB()\n"; }; }; class C : public A { public: void func1() { std::cout << "C::func1()\n"; }; void funcC() { std::cout << "C::funcC()\n"; }; }; typedef std::vector<boost::any> AnyVector; void DoStuffWithAny(boost::any& a) { // Try with a B if ( B* pB = boost::any_cast<B>(&a) ) { pB->func1(); pB->funcB(); } // Try with a C else if ( C* pC = boost::any_cast<C>(&a) ) { pC->func1(); pC->funcC(); } // Try with an A else if ( A* pA = boost::any_cast<A>(&a) ) { pA->func1(); } } void DoStuffWithAnyPointer(boost::any& a) { // Try with a B if ( B** ppB = boost::any_cast<B*>(&a) ) { (*ppB)->func1(); (*ppB)->funcB(); } // Try with a C else if ( C** ppC = boost::any_cast<C*>(&a) ) { (*ppC)->func1(); (*ppC)->funcC(); } // Try with an A else if ( A** ppA = boost::any_cast<A*>(&a) ) { (*ppA)->func1(); } } int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { AnyVector aVector; A a; B b; C c; aVector.push_back(a); aVector.push_back(b); aVector.push_back(c); // Do interesting things std::for_each(aVector.begin(), aVector.end(), DoStuffWithAny); AnyVector anotherVector; anotherVector.push_back(new A); anotherVector.push_back(new B); anotherVector.push_back(new C); // Do interesting things std::for_each(anotherVector.begin(), anotherVector.end(), DoStuffWithAnyPointer); return 0; } Another approach would be to provide adapters, but I'm guessing that wouldn't be worth the trouble.
