udp with virtual network cards
by Gianni Ambrosio 05 Apr '12

05 Apr '12

Dear All, I implemented an UDP Multicast socket connection with boost. It works fine if I test server and client on the same PC (windows Xp or 7) but If server and client are (normally) on different PCs and at least on the client side there are virtual network cards active, the client does not receve udp data. It seems the udp connection uses one of the virtual cards and in that case it doesn't work. In fact If I deactivate all virtual cards then it starts working. Can you explain me please what's going on? Regards Gianni

Why Boost uBLAS
by delryn＠gmx.de 05 Apr '12

05 Apr '12

Good day, i started using boost one month ago. Now i saw that boost is offering uBLAS to use/manipulate matrices. So my question is: Why is the wheel invented totally new? The uBLAS-Team even writes that they focus an "correct algorithm" and that "performance will be improved later". Why cant boost simply adpot http://arma.sourceforge.net/ or Newmat 11: http://www.robertnz.net/nm11.htm#refer I used Newmat in many complex commercial projects where performance was very important. Newmat is easy to use and I dont now any bugs. Maybe the interface is not totally stl compatible, but this library is very easy and intuitive to use. What do you think about this? -- Empfehlen Sie GMX DSL Ihren Freunden und Bekannten und wir belohnen Sie mit bis zu 50,- Euro! https://freundschaftswerbung.gmx.de

boost_filesystem, undefined reference to boost::assertion_failed_msg
by André Prata 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

This is for boost 1.48.0. I'm trying to use and link my code with libboost_filesystem, but it fails with this: ../../bin.v2/app/networkmanager/gcc-4.6.3/debug/link-static/types/Settings.o: In function `boost::filesystem3::directory_iterator::dereference() const': /boost-location/boost_1_48_0/boost/filesystem/v3/operations.hpp:638: undefined reference to `boost::assertion_failed_msg(char const*, char const*, char const*, char const*, long)' What do I need to link it with? What am I doing wrong? Thanks, André Prata

Using boost atomics on data residing in shared memory
by Philip Windle 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

Is atomicity guaranteed on data residing in shared memory? E.g. Processes allocate shared memory as follows using either create_only and truncate or open_only: #define SHARED_MEM_SIZE sizeof(boost::uint32_t) #define SHARED_MEM_NAME "SHMTest" boost::shared_ptr<shared_memory_object> shm_obj; boost::shared_ptr<mapped_region> mapping; std::string sharedMemoryName(SHARED_MEM_NAME); shm_obj.reset(new shared_memory_object(create_only, sharedMemoryName.c_str(), read_write)); shm_obj->truncate(SHARED_MEM_SIZE); mapping.reset(new mapped_region(*shm_obj, read_write, 0, SHARED_MEM_SIZE)); Then, they use the boost atomic functions to read and write to the memory: volatile boost::uint32_t* temp = static_cast<volatile boost::uint32_t*>(mapping->get_address()); unsigned int value = boost::interprocess::detail::atomic_read32(temp); boost::interprocess::detail::atomic_write32(temp, value); Are these memory accesses guaranteed to be atomic? Platform is Linux if that makes a difference.

Hi, I have downloaded boost_1_49_0 to my Mac with OS X 10.5.8.

cannot convert from 'const boost::iterator_range<IteratorT>' to 'const std::basic_string<_Elem, _Traits, _Ax>'
by asif saeed 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

Hi, I am using Boost 1.47.0 / Windows Server 2003 Standard 32-bit / Visual C++ 2010 Express. I copied/pasted the following code from StackOverFlow and it works: ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// #include <string> #include <iostream> #include <boost/algorithm/string.hpp> int main() { std::string str = "This is a test string"; for( boost::algorithm::split_iterator<std::string::iterator> i = make_split_iterator(str, token_finder( boost::algorithm::is_space(), boost::algorithm::token_compress_on)); i != boost::algorithm::split_iterator<std::string::iterator>(); ++i) { //std::string s = *i; std::cout << *i << '\n'; } } ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// However, when I assign the result of *i to an std::string then I get a compiler conversion error: ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// #include <string> #include <iostream> #include <boost/algorithm/string.hpp> int main() { std::string str = "This is a test string"; for( boost::algorithm::split_iterator<std::string::iterator> i = make_split_iterator(str, token_finder( boost::algorithm::is_space(), boost::algorithm::token_compress_on)); i != boost::algorithm::split_iterator<std::string::iterator>(); ++i) { std::string s = *i; ////////////////////////////COMPILER ERROR: cannot convert from 'const boost::iterator_range<IteratorT>' to 'const std::basic_string<_Elem,_Traits,_Ax>' std::cout << s << '\n'; } } ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Can anyone guide me as to how I can eliminate this error and convert the result of the dereferenced iterator to string? I need to get an std::string. Thanks in advance, Asif

[fusion] iterating over a sequence with non-const references
by paul Fultz 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

Hi, I would like to iterate over a sequence and preserve the reference/const/non-const of the elements. That is say I have a sequence like this: tuple<int&, int> seq; I would like to this to be true: typeof(deref(begin(seq))) == int& typeof(deref(next(begin(seq)))) == int&& It seems fusion sequences always return a const reference to the element. Is there a workaround to get it to work like this? Or is this just not possible with Boost.Fusion? Furthermore, I would like to use the transformation algorithms (especially push_back, and push_front) and still preserve the reference type. Is that possible, through some workarounds? Finally, would it still be fairly efficient when dealing with references, to copy the tuple and make a new tuple when doing algorithms such as push_back or push_front? Or is the lazy evaluation much more efficient than that? Thanks, Paul Fultz II

Hi, does anybody know a function to get the k-node-connectivity (k-vertex-connectivity) of a digraph (or graph)? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-vertex-connected_graph) I could only find the function biconnected_components so far. Thanks, Martin

Lambda and placeholders
by Sven Bauhan 02 Apr '12

02 Apr '12

Hi, I just tried to use boost::lambda to prevent from creating an extra Functor class just for one call. This is the code I tried: std::deque<LightningSlice>::const_iterator l = std::find_if( m_lightnings.begin(), m_lightnings.end(), boost::lambda::_1.timeslice().contains(time_) ); with typedef std::deque<LightningSlice> LightningQueue; LightningQueue m_lightnings; //!< The lightnings in timeslices const boost::posix_time::time_period& LightningSlice::timeslice() const { return this->m_period; } Then I get the error: ../LightningIndex.cpp:38: error: 'const struct boost::lambda::lambda_functor<boost::lambda::placeholder<1> >' has no member named 'timeslice' What did I wrong? Thanks, Sven

regex_replace and Unicode ( Cyrillic ) problem
by valery O 02 Apr '12

02 Apr '12

Hi, I have a string with 2 Cyrillic words новый дом repeated 3 times. I try to regex_replace each occurrance of these words. For this I use std:: string format("$1 красный $2") and regex pattern ("(\\W+)\\s+(\\W+)"), The result is only the last occurrence is replaced,the 2 preceding ones are not. Where is my mistake? My code: #include <iostream> #include <string> #include "boost/regex.hpp" using namespace std; int main(int argc, const char** argv) { std::string str( "новый дом, новый дом новый дом" ); regex regx("(\\W+)\\s+(\\W+)"); std::string format( "$1 красный $2"); cout<<"regex_replace :"<<regex_replace( str, regx, format ); return 0; } I use iMac Intel Core Duo, Mac OSX 10.6.8, IDE - Xcode 3.2.6 Thank you. egersheldster
