Need Digest

I guess Yahoo Groups had a data burp on 21 Nov 2001, because I didn't get digest 22. Could anyone send it to me? -- Daryle Walker Mac, Internet, and Video Game Junkie darylew AT mac DOT com

OT: Is there a forum for Loki anywhere on the 'net?
by Gooch, Allen 04 Dec '01

04 Dec '01

I know that pieces of Loki are being reviewed for inclusion into Boost, but I was wondering if there is any sort of forum for questions regarding the use of Loki itself, specifically Loki::SmartPtr. Please respond by email to avoid list clutter, unless it relates to boost use. TIA, Allen Gooch

graph library compilation on VC++
by zhang3284＠yahoo.com 02 Dec '01

02 Dec '01

I'm new to BGL and studying the examples provided with the library. Here is a problem I'm having: I compiled a program, for example,dfs- example.cpp, it was fine. And then I changed the program a little bit, and tried to recompile it, I got the following error: boost\iterator_adaptors.hpp(845) : fatal error C1001: INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR Then I tried Rebuild All or cleaned the project first, and then compiled it. It became OK again. I'm using VC++ 6.0 SP5. Any comment would be appreciated. Thanks. Yingjun Zhang

operator<< for boost::any
by Patrick Guio 01 Dec '01

01 Dec '01

Dear all, I am trying to use the any class in a project. I would need to print elements of a vector<any>. I have come to the following solution as an example: template<class T> inline ostream& operator<<(ostream &os, const vector<T> &v) { vector<T>::const_iterator iter(v.begin()); for (int c(0), n(v.size()); c<n-1; c++) os << *iter++ << ','; return os << *iter; } typedef vector<bool> vectb; int main() { vector<any> values; double f(2.0); string s("hello"); int i(100); bool b(false); vectb vectbool; vectbool.push_back(true); vectbool.push_back(false); vectbool.push_back(true); vectbool.push_back(true); vectbool.push_back(false); vectbool.push_back(true); values.push_back(f); values.push_back(s); values.push_back(i); values.push_back(b); values.push_back(vectbool); for (vector<any>::iterator i(values.begin()), last(values.end()); i!=last; i++) { if (any_cast<bool>(i)) cout << *any_cast<bool>(i) << endl; else if (any_cast<int>(i)) cout << *any_cast<int>(i) << endl; else if (any_cast<float>(i)) cout << *any_cast<float>(i) << endl; else if (any_cast<double>(i)) cout << *any_cast<double>(i) << endl; else if (any_cast<string>(i)) cout << *any_cast<string>(i) << endl; else if (any_cast<vectb>(i)) cout << *any_cast<vectb>(i) << endl; } } But I would like a more general solution without to make assumptions about the type. Do you have any ideas? Another point is that I cannot figure out how to convert the solution below in terms of a friend ostream& operator<<(ostream &os, const any &rhs) I cannot get this compiled with g++ v 2.95 friend ostream& operator<<(ostream &os, const any &rhs) { return os << *any_cast<bool>(rhs); } Sincerely, Patrick ====================================================================== Patrick Guio Institute of Physics, University of Oslo P.O. box 1048, Blindern, N-0316 Oslo Tel : (+47) 22 84 40 60 - Fax : (+47) 22 85 56 71 E-mail : patrick.guio(a)fys.uio.no URL : http://folk.uio.no/~patricg

If it helps, I tried debugging the thread code with the latest cygwin GUI debugger (which is almost usable BTW), but still couldn't figure out what the issue was. I also tried with vc6+pthreads-win32 and Borland+pthreads-win32 and both of those check out OK, in the latter case I was able to build both boost.threads and pthreads-win32 with Borlands Codeguard support enabled, and there were no memory related errors, so I think this is something very specific to gcc. BTW I also see a page fault when building with gcc3.01 on Linux - this time the fault goes away if I build in release mode, so I suspect there is an assertion being triggered somewhere, and it's the assertion that's dying. I haven't got any further than that though. - John Maddock http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/john_maddock/

Installing on Windows 95 with Mingw32 1.1
by karsjens+yahoo＠visionary.com 30 Nov '01

30 Nov '01

Since I had quite a bit of trouble getting started with boost, I though i would document my difficulties so the install process can be improved and other users having similar difficulties might benefit from my experience. I have placed my story on the boost wiki in the topic InstallingOnMingw32Windows95 Direct url: http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_ wiki/wiki.pl?InstallingOnMingw32Windows95 I hope this is helpful to somebody. -- Brad Karsjens

regex and tokenizer, something wrong with namspace ?
by John Maddock 30 Nov '01

30 Nov '01

>I am a new user of the boost library (Actually with VC6 SP5 and stlport 4.0). Everything goes well when I use tokenizer and regexp in separated programs. But when I want to use the regex and the tokenizer library together I can not compile. for example, if I take the $(BOOST_ROOT)/libs/tokenizer/examples.cpp from John R. Bandela and just add the include line: #include <boost/regex.hpp> the compiler gives me this error: < regex and tokeniser appear to use different workarounds for the broken VC6 namespace support, and these seem to conflict, IMO regex is using the correct fix - or at least the one we discussed during the early days of boost, but then I would say that :-) - John Maddock http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/john_maddock/

warning: unknown rule split
by John Merrells 29 Nov '01

29 Nov '01

I just downloaded boost and the jam.exe on the build page. Executing jam -ftools/build/allyoubase.jam -sTOOLS="msvc" on win2k with msvc 6 I get a screenful of 'warning: unknown rule split'. Anyone experienced this? jam version problem? John [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

I've found Robert Sedgewick's book "Algorithms in C++" to be quite useful. He has several chapters devoted to graph algorithms. He explains some of the basics, then demonstrates how to implement the algorithms. There are a lot of other algorithms covered as well (string processing, searching and sorting algorithms, geometric algorithms, and so on). -- Jim
