Graphs (boost1.32.0) Trouble with dijkstra visitor and VC 7.1
by Tony Juricic 28 Jan '05

28 Jan '05

Has anybody created custom dijkstra_shortest_paths algorithm visitor for discover_vertex event? I am having all sorts of compilation errors using MSVC 7.1 and defining my visitor using example code. Reshuffling the code (but at this point I hardly know what am I really doing) I got the following to compile: // define visitor for discover_vertex event template <class Vertex, class Tag> struct target_visitor : public default_dijkstra_visitor { target_visitor(Vertex u) : v(u) { } template <class Vertex, class Graph> void discover_vertex(Vertex u, Graph& g) { if ( u==v ) assert(0); } private: Vertex v; }; template <class Vertex, class Tag> target_visitor<Vertex, Tag> target_visit(Vertex u, Tag) { return target_visitor<Vertex, Tag>(u); } ... // call dijkstra_shortest_paths with custom visitor // parameters below are defined as in dijkstra-example.cpp dijkstra_shortest_paths(g, s, predecessor_map(&p[0]).distance_map(&d[0]).visitor(target_visit(D, on_discover_vertex()))); Tony Confused

The doc at http://boost-consulting.com/boost/libs/grpah/doc/fruchterman_reingold.html suggests that there is a 4 argument version of the function, taking only the graph, a position map, width and height; but attempts to compile such a function against the headers from the latest CVS results in a compile error: error: no matching function for call to ` fruchterman_reingold_force_directed_layout(Umbrella::Document&, Umbrella::View::load_from_document()::PositionMap&, double&, double&)' Removing the typenames Param, Tag, and Rest from lines 371-372 of the header allows the compile to continue.

Bind Overload Workaround?
by Duane Murphy 28 Jan '05

28 Jan '05

How do I work around this problem with bind? #include <boost/bind.hpp> namespace { class functions { public: int func( int ); int func( int, int ); }; void test() { functions a_func; boost::bind( functions::func, a_func, 1, _1 ); } } Bind can't determine which function to call because it is overloaded and it doesn't know the context in which it will be called. With CodeWarrior 8 on Mac OS X I get "illegal use of template argument dependent type 'T::result_type' It references an "unspecified" template deep in the bowels of bind. As I recall there was some way of helping bind to pick one of the overloaded functions using a typedef or something similar. (Maybe that was function?). Thanks for any tips, ...Duane

Regex lib and thread safety
by Leon Mergen 27 Jan '05

27 Jan '05

Hello, I am sorry if this is a stupid question, or simply inappropriatie for this list. I am currently camping with this bug for way too long, so I decided to ask this mailinglist. I am currently in the process of finding out where a segfault is, and how to fix it. Now, I am using the boost regex library to parse my regexes, and for some reason when multiple threads use this regex library, it seems to mess up and generate segfaults (it works perfectly with only one thread). Since it also doesn't always occur on the same place, and doesn't even occur /all/ the times, I have a strong feeling this has something to do with thread safety. On the Boost website is was able to find out that the boost regex library should be thread safe when BOOST_HAS_THREADS is defined; I've tested this, and this worked. ( http://www.boost.org/libs/regex/doc/thread_safety.html ) However, I also was able to find a mailinglist message that provides some instructions on how to make certain boost regex functions thread-safe : ( http://lists.boost.org/MailArchives/boost/msg59110.php ) Now, I am confused; is the boost regex library thread-safe or not ? The solution provided in the mailinglist message ( move the regex_replace () function inside its own scope ) can't be applied here... :( I've posted the stacktrace when the problem occurs and the source of the code 'that matters' below. It also occurs in another function, I've posted the other function too. I hope anyone has any experience with this, or is able to help. Thanks in advance!

time_period constructor question

Can anyone tell me why the line: time_period t4(t2); in the attached cpp file doesn't compile but the line: time_period t3(t1); does? it seems like i should be calling the same copy constructor in both cases but g++ 3.3.4 complains: error: no matching function for call to ` boost::date_time::period<boost::posix_time::ptime, boost::posix_time::time_duration>::period(boost::posix_time::time_period (&)(boost::posix_time::ptime, boost::posix_time::ptime))' /usr/include/boost/date_time/period.hpp:64: error: candidates are: boost::date_time::period<boost::posix_time::ptime, boost::posix_time::time_duration>::period(const boost::date_time::period<boost::posix_time::ptime, boost::posix_time::time_duration>&) /usr/include/boost/date_time/period.hpp:109: error: boost::date_time::period<point_rep, duration_rep>::period(point_rep, duration_rep) [with point_rep = boost::posix_time::ptime, duration_rep = boost::posix_time::time_duration] /usr/include/boost/date_time/period.hpp:99: error: boost::date_time::period<point_rep, duration_rep>::period(point_rep, point_rep) [with point_rep = boost::posix_time::ptime, duration_rep = boost::posix_time::time_duration] //--------------------------------cut here------------------- #include "boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time_types.hpp" #include "boost/date_time/gregorian/gregorian_types.hpp" int main() { using namespace boost::posix_time; using namespace boost::gregorian; //---------------------------------------------- date dmin( min_date_time) ; ptime tmin( dmin ); date dmax( max_date_time) ; ptime tmax( dmax ); time_period t1( tmin, tmax ); //--------------------------------------------- time_period t2( ptime(min_date_time), ptime(max_date_time) ); //why does this compile (on g++ 3.3.4) time_period t3(t1); //but this doesn't? i.e., why isn't a time_period a time_period a time_period? time_period t4(t2); return 0; } __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

analogy to mem_fun_ref to member variables
by Chris Goller 27 Jan '05

27 Jan '05

I have a struct that contains two values. struct box { double width; double length; } vector<box> boxes; I want to accumlate all the widths of the boxes. The only solution I've found is to create a member function get_width that will return the width for use in mem_fun_ref eg: accumulate(make_transform_iterator(boxes.begin(), mem_fun_ref(&boxes::get_width)), make_transform_iterator(boxes.end(), mem_fun_ref(&boxes::get_width)), 0.0, plus<double>())); Is there a boost way of not using mem_fun_ref, but rather returns the public member variable. Something that could be named mem_var_ref that would look like this: accumulate(make_transform_iterator(boxes.begin(), mem_var_ref(&boxes::width)), make_transform_iterator(boxes.end(), mem_fun_ref(&boxes::width)), 0.0, plus<double>())); This way I wouldn't need to add extra get logic to a structure that doesn't really need it othewise. Thanks, Chris

boost/graph 1.32.0 : compilation errors on a SUN machine
by laurent de Vito 26 Jan '05

26 Jan '05

Hello, I cannot compile the boost/graph library 1.32.0 on a SUN machine using Sun C++ 5.5. I get the following error message : boost_1_32_0/boost/graph/depth_first_search.hpp", line 377: Error: Default arguments cannot be added in later declarations of the template function in the same scope. which does make sense since the compiler cannot decide which routine depth_first_visit to use if the second routine (line 371) has an extra template but the the extra template has a default value. So in boost/graph/depth_first_search.hpp, I simply deleted the default argument : template <class IncidenceGraph, class DFSVisitor, class ColorMap, class TerminatorFunc> void depth_first_visit (const IncidenceGraph& g, typename graph_traits<IncidenceGraph>::vertex_descriptor u, DFSVisitor vis, ColorMap color, TerminatorFunc func = TerminatorFunc()) becomes template <class IncidenceGraph, class DFSVisitor, class ColorMap, class TerminatorFunc> void depth_first_visit (const IncidenceGraph& g, typename graph_traits<IncidenceGraph>::vertex_descriptor u, DFSVisitor vis, ColorMap color, TerminatorFunc func) Unfortunately the compilation was afterwards not successful; this time I got "boost_1_32_0/boost/graph/named_function_params.hpp", line 500: Error: Cannot return const boost::bgl_named_params<boost::detail::components_recorder<int*>, boost::graph_visitor_t, boost::no_property> from a function that should return boost::detail::error_property_not_found.
