Regex and stream processing
by Yaroslav Govorunov 23 Sep '03

23 Sep '03

Hello everybody and especially Dr John Maddock :) ! First of all I wish to thank all developers for this amazing product. I come here to get an advice and here is my problem: We have a stream of text data (actually it is a chunked response of a webserver, but it might be a file or something...) The data size may be very large and we need to do some find/replace in this stream using regular expressions. It is not possible to load entire stream into the memory. I'm not even hope that Regex++ could work with such kind of streams, but maybe someone can suggest me a solution to this problem? With best regards, Yaroslav Govorunov, E-mail: slov(a)rsdn.ru http://www.rsdn.ru http://www.isapirewrite.com

Preprocessor Library question
by Eric Robert 23 Sep '03

23 Sep '03

Hi, Maybe somebody can help me here. I'm just trying to understand what's going on with the FOR code. It goes something like this (I expanded the general include and stripped some code for clarity) : # define BOOST_PP_FOR BOOST_PP_CAT(BOOST_PP_FOR_, BOOST_PP_AUTO_REC(BOOST_PP_FOR_P, 256)) # # define BOOST_PP_FOR_P(n) BOOST_PP_CAT(BOOST_PP_FOR_CHECK_, BOOST_PP_FOR_ ## n(1, BOOST_PP_FOR_SR_P, BOOST_PP_FOR_SR_O, BOOST_PP_FOR_SR_M)) # # define BOOST_PP_FOR_SR_P(r, s) s # define BOOST_PP_FOR_SR_O(r, s) 0 # define BOOST_PP_FOR_SR_M(r, s) BOOST_PP_NIL # # define BOOST_PP_FOR_1(s, p, o, m) BOOST_PP_FOR_1_C(BOOST_PP_BOOL(p(2, s)), s, p, o, m) # define BOOST_PP_FOR_2(s, p, o, m) BOOST_PP_FOR_2_C(BOOST_PP_BOOL(p(3, s)), s, p, o, m) # define BOOST_PP_FOR_3(s, p, o, m) BOOST_PP_FOR_3_C(BOOST_PP_BOOL(p(4, s)), s, p, o, m) # define BOOST_PP_FOR_4(s, p, o, m) BOOST_PP_FOR_4_C(BOOST_PP_BOOL(p(5, s)), s, p, o, m) # define BOOST_PP_FOR_5(s, p, o, m) BOOST_PP_FOR_5_C(BOOST_PP_BOOL(p(6, s)), s, p, o, m) # # // # // EXTENDED include <boost/preprocessor/repetition/detail/for.hpp> # # define BOOST_PP_FOR_1(s, p, o, m) BOOST_PP_FOR_1_C(BOOST_PP_BOOL(p(2, s)), s, p, o, m) # define BOOST_PP_FOR_2(s, p, o, m) BOOST_PP_FOR_2_C(BOOST_PP_BOOL(p(3, s)), s, p, o, m) # define BOOST_PP_FOR_3(s, p, o, m) BOOST_PP_FOR_3_C(BOOST_PP_BOOL(p(4, s)), s, p, o, m) # define BOOST_PP_FOR_4(s, p, o, m) BOOST_PP_FOR_4_C(BOOST_PP_BOOL(p(5, s)), s, p, o, m) # define BOOST_PP_FOR_5(s, p, o, m) BOOST_PP_FOR_5_C(BOOST_PP_BOOL(p(6, s)), s, p, o, m) # # define BOOST_PP_FOR_1_C(c, s, p, o, m) BOOST_PP_IIF(c, m, BOOST_PP_TUPLE_EAT_2)(2, s) BOOST_PP_IIF(c, BOOST_PP_FOR_2, BOOST_PP_TUPLE_EAT_4)(BOOST_PP_EXPR_IIF(c, o)(2, s), p, o, m) # define BOOST_PP_FOR_2_C(c, s, p, o, m) BOOST_PP_IIF(c, m, BOOST_PP_TUPLE_EAT_2)(3, s) BOOST_PP_IIF(c, BOOST_PP_FOR_3, BOOST_PP_TUPLE_EAT_4)(BOOST_PP_EXPR_IIF(c, o)(3, s), p, o, m) # define BOOST_PP_FOR_3_C(c, s, p, o, m) BOOST_PP_IIF(c, m, BOOST_PP_TUPLE_EAT_2)(4, s) BOOST_PP_IIF(c, BOOST_PP_FOR_4, BOOST_PP_TUPLE_EAT_4)(BOOST_PP_EXPR_IIF(c, o)(4, s), p, o, m) # define BOOST_PP_FOR_4_C(c, s, p, o, m) BOOST_PP_IIF(c, m, BOOST_PP_TUPLE_EAT_2)(5, s) BOOST_PP_IIF(c, BOOST_PP_FOR_5, BOOST_PP_TUPLE_EAT_4)(BOOST_PP_EXPR_IIF(c, o)(5, s), p, o, m) # define BOOST_PP_FOR_5_C(c, s, p, o, m) BOOST_PP_IIF(c, m, BOOST_PP_TUPLE_EAT_2)(6, s) BOOST_PP_IIF(c, BOOST_PP_FOR_6, BOOST_PP_TUPLE_EAT_4)(BOOST_PP_EXPR_IIF(c, o)(6, s), p, o, m) # # define BOOST_PP_FOR_257(s, p, o, m) BOOST_PP_ERROR(0x0002) # # define BOOST_PP_FOR_CHECK_BOOST_PP_NIL 1 # # define BOOST_PP_FOR_CHECK_BOOST_PP_FOR_1(s, p, o, m) 0 # define BOOST_PP_FOR_CHECK_BOOST_PP_FOR_2(s, p, o, m) 0 # define BOOST_PP_FOR_CHECK_BOOST_PP_FOR_3(s, p, o, m) 0 # define BOOST_PP_FOR_CHECK_BOOST_PP_FOR_4(s, p, o, m) 0 # define BOOST_PP_FOR_CHECK_BOOST_PP_FOR_5(s, p, o, m) 0 Now, I'm trying to understand how it works. I don't understand why FOR isn't a shortcut for FOR_1. The only reason I see is the FOR_CHECK test but I can't seems to understand how it works. Anyone ? Eric Robert

regex compile problem with vc6 and stlport
by Sven Olsen 23 Sep '03

23 Sep '03

I am using MSVC6 (sp5) with STLport v4.5.3 and attempting to compile boost::regex v3.31, as far as I know these are the latest versions/updates. I dutifully followed the installation instructions, but `nmake -fvc6-stlport.mak` died with the error: ../src/cpp_regex_traits.cpp(662) : error C2660: 'isspace' function does not take 2 parameters By building the files in the IDE, I was able to figure out why the isspace error happens: there is a global scope isspace() defined in ctype.h. The isspace problem can be fixed by defining BOOST_REGEX_STD to be std:: (in other words, getting rid of the old STLport isspace workaround). But with that done, I now get a number of linking errors when I try to build the library using nmake (though I have been able to compile .dlls via the IDE). By manually adding stlport_vc6.lib to the list of linked libraries, I can get rid of all reported linking errors, but the dll's are still failing to compile. Has anyone else using STLport v4.5.3 and regex 3.31 (boost dist 1.30.2) gotten the library to compile under MSVC6? At this point I may try compiling the dlls by hand through the IDE, but it seems like there ought to be a way to get nmake working... Thanks, Sven PS- I should probably admit that this is my first time trying to compile regex using STLport, so it's quite possible that there is some silly little thing that I am doing wrong... I have tried setting the include and lib paths both manually and using the STLPORT_PATH environment variable (C:\STLport-4.5.3 in my case), and I get the same results either way.

Icompatibility between MS cl preprocessor and boost macro constructs
by m.doppler＠icoserve.com 22 Sep '03

22 Sep '03

Hi, the header files boost/iterator_adaptors.hpp and boost/regex/v3/instances.hpp contain macro constructs that are icompatible with the Microsoft compiler cl when using them in a source file, preprocessing the source to a another source file and afterwards compiling the preprocessed source file. For iterator_adaptors.hpp, cl version 13.00 is affected, for instances.hpp cl 13.00 and 13.10. The problem can be reproduced by compiling the following simple source file (test.cpp) in the base boost directory (boost-1.30.2): #include "boost/iterator_adaptors.hpp" #include "boost/regex.hpp" int main(void) { return 0; } The commandline to preprocess the file is: cl /TP /GX /EHsc /Zc:wchar_t /Zc:forScope /c /I. /P test.cpp The commandline to compile the previously preprocessed file is: cl /TP /GX /EHsc /Zc:wchar_t /Zc:forScope /c /I. test.i Note that when directly compiling the same test program using the following commandline the problem disappears: cl /TP /GX /EHsc /Zc:wchar_t /Zc:forScope /c /I. test.cpp One might expect that the last command line should produce the same result as the first two, but unfortunately this is not the case. I have attached a patch file that solves the icompatibility with the preprocessor by incorporating the following changes: - In instances.hpp the patch adds single spaces between the BOOST_DEFAULT_ALLOCATOR and the end of some template declarations. - In iterator_adaptors.hpp the conditional BOOST_WORKAROUND macros are refactored from inside the template declarations of indirect_iterator_generator and indirect_iterator_pair_generator to the front of them by duplicating the template struct definitions minus the BOOST_WORKAROUND code in the else branch of the conditional macro. In case you wonder why we need to preprocess the source file into a seperate file before compiling it: This is required to use distcc (http://distcc.samba.org) with Microsofts cl. Is there a chance this patch gets accepted for the next boost version?

boost::TokenizerFunction
by Zenaan Harkness 21 Sep '03

21 Sep '03

TokenizerFunction "Expression Semantics" table (documentation - eg. on debian: /usr/share/doc/libboost-doc/HTML/libs/tokenizer/index.htm), states that "tok is constructed", as part of "Precondition". However I note two things: 1: on looking at the source code for the provided example functions, each constructs a Token as it's first (or second) line of code in the call to operator(). 2: the "Semantics" says "The return value [bool] indicates whether a new token was found in the sequence". If there is no token available (eg. we are already at end of stream(/string) and will return false) why waste effort constructing storage for a token? Why does the doco say that the token must be constructed as a precondition? Is the code wrong, or the doco - ie. should my custom function construct a new (empty) token, or follow doco and have user construct one? It would seem potentially more efficient for the user to construct one, as they may be reused. I am trying to use (my own custom) function directly, in a for loop. Why would I use tokenizer class to wrap it? There is no example on using a function directly, thus these string of questions which I would like some answers on. The documentation for TokenizerFunction doesn't seem to have a proper doxygen-like api description - at least not on my local debian installation. So I have to revert to the source. As I'm a newbie, it is requiring quite a bit of going back and forth to try and figure it all out - eg., should I use a tokenizer (container), token_iterator, or just for-loop on a specific (custom) tokenizer function?? Finally, as I've been trying to figure out how to write my own TokenizerFunction. Delving into the code for the example TFs has eventually led me there, but a simpler example in the documentation would be very useful for other newbies, I'm sure. - I know, I should post the code. Well, I'm not done yet, and I'm implementing a function I need specifically, as opposed to just for learning or doco, but perhaps later in the week I can send something along if no one beats me to it. Once I understand it all a bit better. Simple one-hit functions can be a good way to learn how to code what you need (ie. not templatized). A progression from a one-hit to a templatized version would be ideal for learning. TIA Zen -- Mr Zenaan Harkness Phone +61 (0)412 166 990 Please respect the confidentiality of this email.

Q: exceptions and -fPIC
by Andrey Nechypurenko 19 Sep '03

19 Sep '03

Hi, I am on the following platform: Linux 2.6.0-test5 #11 Wed Sep 10 20:28:31 CEST 2003 i686 unknown Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-slackware-linux/3.2.2/specs Configured with: ../gcc-3.2.2/configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --enable-__cxa_atexit --disable-checking --with-gnu-ld --verbose --target=i386-slackware-linux --host=i386-slackware-linux Thread model: posix gcc version 3.2.2 Boost version 1.30.2 compiled with: bjam "-sTOOLS=gcc" I have a question regarding the following boost::filesystem use case: try { for(fs::directory_iterator dir_itr(full_path); dir_itr != end_iter; ++dir_itr ) { // use dir_itr } } catch(const std::exception &ex) { std::cout << ex.what() << std::endl; } In case of full_path pointed to the directory without read permissions the corresponding exception is thrown and catched in the catch block. My problem is that if I compile my application with -fPIC option, I am unable to catch the exception anymore and the program is simply aborted. I need to use -fPIC because of other library which has own build system and if I follow suggested guidlines for Makefile, I get -fPIC automatically. I would verry appreciate if somebody could tell me are there any ways to make the code mentioned above work when it is compiled with -fPIC? Should I recompile boost with -fPIC? If yes, what is the right place to set this parameter? BTW how it is supposed to write a shared library which includes boost code? As I understand, than my code must be compiled with -fPIC... Thanks, Andrey. P.S. Here is example I am using and the makefile: // ttt.cpp #include <iostream> #include <boost/filesystem/operations.hpp> #include <boost/filesystem/path.hpp> namespace fs = boost::filesystem; int main(int argc, char **argv) { try { fs::path full_path = fs::system_complete(fs::path(argv[1], fs::native)); fs::directory_iterator end_iter; for(fs::directory_iterator dir_itr(full_path); dir_itr != end_iter; ++dir_itr ) { std::cout << dir_itr->leaf() << std::endl; } } catch(const std::exception &ex) { std::cout << ex.what() << std::endl; } return 0; } Makefile: CPPFLAGS := -I/usr/local/src/boost LDFLAGS := -L/usr/local/src/boost/libs/filesystem/build/bin/libboost_filesystem.a/gcc/debug/runtime-link-dynamic/ LIBS := $(LIBS) -lboost_filesystem ttt: ttt.cpp c++ $(CPPFLAGS) -g -ftemplate-depth-128 -fPIC -Wall $(LDFLAGS) -o $@ ttt.cpp $(LIBS) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Spirit library - Problem with the copy constructor of the class rule<> ?
by fritz.birnbacher＠t-online.de 18 Sep '03

18 Sep '03

Hello, I am new in using boost and I played a little bit with the spirit library. I tried following code using MSVC 7.1 and boost 1.30.2 #include"stdafx.h" #include<spirit.hpp> using namespace boost::spirit; rule<> GetRule() { rule<> r = anychar_p; return r; } void Parse1() { char s[] = "ABCD"; parse(s, GetRule()); } void Parse2() { rule<> r = anychar_p; char s[] = "ABCD"; parse(s,r); } int _tmain() { Parse1(); return 0; } Parse1() throws an exception (access violation) Parse2() works correct. Is it a compiler problem or a problem in spirit or my problem ? Thanks

Hi All, I am a new user of Boost. but when I look the source of Boost, I found that almost all the implementations is put in head files together, not as usual to put into CPP file. I know, it must be intended, however, could it possible to move the implementations into cpp file in future? Sorry if this question has been posted. Thanks!

Boost.Python - implementing slicing on extension container class
by Steve Horne 16 Sep '03

16 Sep '03

I'm currently writing a set of container classes using Boost.Python to wrap an existing C++ library. Progress has been very good - not even two days and I've wrapped all the existing C++ methods (at least 100). But of course a library designed for C++ is not a library designed for Python. Job 2 is to make it more Pythonic. The current problem is implementing slicing in the __getitem__, __setitem__ and __delitem__ methods. These are already working with single keys. To handle slicing, I need to identify in the key object is a slice object. This is the sticking point right now. I can access the type of the object using p.attr ("__class__") - but how do I get access to the slice type object from __builtins__ in order to compare? I could probably use a workaround such as extracting and checking a string representation from p.attr ("__class__").str (), but it seems to me that the ability to import symbols from another module (whether __builtins__ or some other Python or extension module). This could reduce to the ability to convert a PyObject* to an object instance - even more useful for using any C API functions that don't have a Boost.Python wrapper - but there seems to be no obvious way to do this. In addition, my containers are currently declared as follows... class_<classname, boost::noncopyable>("classname") ... ; The boost::noncopyable is there because the containers don't have copy constructors due to certain issues using the library in C++. Therefore, I'd like to better understand the implications of this. For instance, in Python the copy constructor is often used to make copy the entire container (as opposed to just rebinding names). Presumably Boost.Python supports this using the C++ classes copy constructor. This raises the questions... 1. How can I create an object to return to Python, containing an instance of the C++ container, without removing boost::noncopyable? (I need to do this to implement slicing too) This, I think, is roughly what is done in the Inheritance section of the tutorial so I probably need something like the 'factory' function. So, to reduce it to a simple copy-function example, the following should be about right... Base* container::make_copy () { container *temp = new container (); temp->do_copy (*this); return temp; } ... .def("make_copy", container::make_copy, return_value_policy<manage_new_object>()) I think this should be right, but confidence is low. 2. How can I support the Python copy constructor without having a C++ copy constructor. I'm using boost-1.30.2 with Python 2.2.3 and Visual Studio 7. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Bug in boost::format with 0 valued integer
by Simon Clift 15 Sep '03

15 Sep '03

Hi folks, There appears to be a bug in boost::format, an unitialized value problem spotted when I was using valgrind on a program of mine. The following test code illustrates the (admittedly minor?) problem: #include <boost/format.hpp> #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int dummy = 5; cout << boost::format( "%05d" ) % dummy << endl; dummy = 0; cout << boost::format( "%05d" ) % dummy << endl; }; I compiled this with -g and when run with valgrind it seems that the put_last function in feed_args.hpp sends an uninitialized value into the standard library <<(int) operator when the integer to be printed is 0 and leading zeros are specified. Valgrind reports (clipped for size) on the second ::format call (but not the first) of the test code: ==28879== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s) ==28879== at 0x40289470: (within /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.3) ... ==28879== by 0x4028F36B: std::ostream::operator<<(int) (in /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.3) ==28879== by 0x804CF8D: void boost::io::detail::(anonymous namespace)::put_last<char, std::char_traits<char>, int>(std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> >&, int&) (feed_args.hpp:114) ==28879== by 0x804C9A2: _ZN5boost2io6detail31_GLOBAL__N_test00Fill.cppfx7Zjb3putIcSt11char_traitsIcERiEEvT1_RKNS1_11format_itemIT_T0_EERSbIS9_SA_SaIS9_EERSt19basic_ostringstreamIS9_SA_SE_E (feed_args.hpp:176) ==28879== by 0x804BF44: void boost::io::detail::distribute<char, std::char_traits<char>, int&>(boost::basic_format<char, std::char_traits<char> >&, int&) (feed_args.hpp:237) ==28879== by 0x804ABB6: _ZN5boost2io6detail4feedIcSt11char_traitsIcERiEERNS_12basic_formatIT_T0_EESA_T1_ (feed_args.hpp:246) ==28879== by 0x804A14B: boost::basic_format<char, std::char_traits<char> >& boost::basic_format<char, std::char_traits<char> >::operator%<int>(int&) (format_class.hpp:69) ...

I've tended to rely on the common sense of the user (after all i cannot detect other possible errors such as 'oend < obegin') but i suppose the following addition at the start would seem sensible: ASSERT(obegin != oend); As for your second point - the amount of time saved by 'the former behaviour' depends on how expensive the predicate is and how many times it will be called if no more satisfactory items are available. As the entries in the output buffer are overwritten as and when required there is no need in any general sense to clear it between calls and this surely obviates any advantage your proposed approach may have.

This should check whether obegin == end before copying, in case obegin == oend initially. I don't know whether it should stop as soon as it finds obegin == oend or wait until it knows there's another item to be copied. The former behaviour saves a little time in the case that no more items are wanted once the output buffer is full. The latter behaviour avoids the occasional need for another pass that copies nothing, if copy_if is called repeatedly to fill an output buffer which is then flushed. Ben.

You can find an implementation of copy_if in Boost Wiki here: http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl?STLAlgorithm… An extension that i find useful is the following: template<class II, class OI, class PRED> std::pair<II,OI> copy_if(II ibegin, II iend, OI obegin, OI oend, PRED p) { for(; ibegin != iend; ++ibegin) { if(p(*ibegin)) { *obegin = *ibegin; if(++obegin == oend) break; } } return std::make_pair(ibegin, obegin); } Here we have a finite sized sink. Items are copied from the source if they satisfy the condition and if there is room left in the sink. The positions reached are returned on termination of the algorithm. Witz

copy_if
by Mr Zenaan Harkness 12 Sep '03

12 Sep '03

Does boost have an implementation of copy_if that I can't find yet? Just wondering, because it is an algorithm that, according to both stroustrup and o'rielly, should have been part of the standard but was essentially accidentally forgotten. Surely this (and possibly other necessary additions) would be part of an boost algorithm library, even if only one or two functions... I need copy_if, both these books I have say it's one of "the first generic algorithm that most programmers will probably write", so where is it? ??? (Yes, I can type it in, but boost is supposed to fill in the blanks, yes?) tia zen

boost::char_separator enhancement (or, how do I do it myself)
by Mr Zenaan Harkness 12 Sep '03

12 Sep '03

I'm teaching myself C++, and want to tokenize my stream, using boost::tokenizer. I want to be able to optionally tokenize with or without including the delimiter character - this is supported. However: the delimiter character, if included, becomes its own token. I want an option to have the delimiter character be part of the previous token (which is what makes sense for the processing I am doing on my files). ??? ta zen

Boost's pool implementation
by Thomas Harning 11 Sep '03

11 Sep '03

First off, I think the Boost pool is a great tool and for me has been one of the most useful of Boost's libraries. I have run into a problem however, due to the pool's usage of "malloc" and "free" as the names of functions. The problem is that I want to debug memory usage in my program and catch memory leaks, but using the leak detection in Visual Studio 7.1 for the CRT creates a macro for malloc and free, which conflicts with the pool's malloc and free and makes a general mess. Is there any better memory debug library/tools out there that are free and can get the line/file that the memory allocation occurred and the size perhaps and possibly a portion of the contained data as a character string? Perhaps I could write up a patch to rename the malloc and free from the boost pool [though I see that would be quite a pain to the existing users of boost's pool since code would have to be rewritten with whatever function is added]. Thanks. Thomas Harning Jr.

boost::pool base class new override
by Rodrigo Serafim 11 Sep '03

11 Sep '03

hi first question: where on earth was boost while I was doing my last year project? just thinking of the amount of trouble I could have saved if I knew about it... makes me bang my head against several walls ;) Well, I starter looking towards memory managment with other eyes after 90% of my bugs being directly originated form it. So after looking on the boost memory library a question popped: how can I use smart pointers and pool toguether. In particular intrusive pointers and/or pool, being the "and/or" essencial. If i have class C all made and ready and now I want it work with smart pointers i just have to make a base class RefCount, use multiple inheritance to contruct C_RC and i can have both things. Problem is, now i want to use it in pool too, but my base class RefCount calls delete. My solution; make yet another base class Poolable and override new and delete there. Well to my surprise it worked but only in very special cases. I have to use pool<> and cant use object_pool<C_RC_P> it crashes. Also it only works in MSVC6 in Release, in Debug it crashes. In a nutshell, my questions: - Is object_pool->malloc / free diferent in semantics from pool->malloc / free ? - I dont mind using pool<> but doing pool<>(sizeof(C_RC_P)) isnt that typesafe, can I make it? - Why does it crash in debug ? I send the code in attatchement. sorry abount the lengthy mail, too many question, too little time Thanks, Rodrigo Serafim

This requires that you tell them which dependent names (names of things that depend on a template parameter) are being used as type or template names. You need to put the keyword "template" in front of "get<num>" so that the compiler can parse it correctly. Ben.

2D Shared Array
by Kevin J. Menard, Jr. 11 Sep '03

11 Sep '03

Hi, Is it possible to build a shared_array of shared_arrays? I would imagine there must be away, but I haven't been so successful at my attempts to find it :-/ I'm working on converting an existing project over to the boost smart pointer library. We've been using dynamically allocated 2D arrays to hold points in a matrix, and would like to take advantage of the automatic clean-up that the boost smart pointers can provide. That's why I would like to make a shared_array of shared_arrays of some data type. Any help would be appreciated. And if I'm approaching this all wrong, please let me know. I'm open to suggestions for other ideas, so long as the individual points can still be referenced in the form of: point[row][col]. Thanks, Kevin

Boost.Python: is my code safe?
by Matthew Bray 10 Sep '03

10 Sep '03

I have a question regarding the use of Boost.Python. What I would like to do is to provide a simple scripting interface to an application in much the same way as Microsoft use Visual Basic within much of their product line (e.g. Excel) to provide direct access to the applications object model. My design is stunningly rendered below, +-------------------------+ | Application--+ | | | | Dynamically +---------------+ | v | Linked | Python Module | | +--->ObjectModel<------------------| | | | | +---------------+ | +---------------------+ | | | | Python Interpretter |<----------------------+ | | | | ">>> import ..." | +---------------------+ | +-------------------------+ What we have firstly is a our python module, in this case it exports a simple class 'ObjectModel' with various functions, sub objects and whatever else is required for the application to run. This is our Object Model, and is usable from the python interpretter on the command line. For what we have in mind however is for the python interpretter to be running inside the application (through use of the Py* functions from the python API and use of the relevant parts of Boost.Python - handle<>, object). What I want is for the application and the python instance to share the object model, for the interpretter to have knowledge of the ObjectModel it is simply imported from the python module. The application itself is linked against the python module in order to use ObjectModel (the relevant compiler specific code is inserted so that the ObjectModel class is exported/imported - __declspec(dllexport) and dllimport under Visual C++). With this setup, it is now possible to create an instance of ObjectModel within the python interpretter and use extract<ObjectModel*>(...) in order to get access to it within the application, no doubt it is also possible to create the ObjectModel within the application and pass it to the python interpretter to use it there. Now my question basically regards pitfalls in this approach, there are two instances of the Python Module in use here but I'm sure that as long as care is taken to ensure the ObjectModel is destructed on the same heap that it was created on then there shall be no problems. Is there any other, possibly better way to do this perhaps - e.g. without requiring the use of the module at all, simply passing the Boost.Python class descriptions directly to the embedded interpretter. A simple test harness I have /appears/ to work fine with the above design. Here's an extremely cut down bit of code that should show kind of what I'm working on if I'm being a little unclear: my_module.hpp - this is the class that is in the python module that we shall have access to within python and our application: struct PLATFORM_SPECIFIC_DLL_EXPORT_COMMAND ObjectModel { const char * name() const; }; my_application.cpp - assume all the correct headers are included, the module is linked against etc: int main(int argc,char ** argv) { Py_Initialize(); //initialize the environment handle<> main_module(borrowed(PyImport_AddModule("__main__"))); handle<> main_namespace( borrowed(PyModule_GetDict(main_module.get()))); //import our python module handle<>(PyRun_String("import my_module", Py_file_input, main_namespace.get(), main_namespace.get()) ); //create a new instance of ObjectModel within python handle<>(PyRun_String("model = my_module.ObjectModel()", Py_file_input, main_namespace.get(), main_namespace.get())); //get the instance of ObjectModel and use it within our application object tmp(main_namespace); ObjectModel * model = extract<ObjectModel *>(tmp["model"]); cout << model->name() << endl; Py_Finalize(); } Mat.

regex traits for multibyte strings

Is it possible to define a traits class for regex that supports multibyte strings? I am intending to do so, but I'm unsure that it is possible because there are several required functions that take a parameter of type char_type, which wouldn't really hold a complete character.

win32.hpp has a using std::max, min
by Charles Schwartz 08 Sep '03

08 Sep '03

win32.hpp has using std::min and using std::max directives. (win32.hpp in fact overrides these functions). These directives hinder use of the max function elsewhere in a client program, for example, by #included c libraries, which are expecting to use the global (non overridden) max function. Indeed, Sutter's More Exceptional C++ #40 (p. 236) asserts that using directives/declerations should never appear in any headers (certainly not at file scope!). Will this be removed in future releases?

Building Boost with Intel compiler 7.0 and STLPort on windows
by Andre du Toit 08 Sep '03

08 Sep '03

Hello. Does anyone know whether it is currently possible to use Boost with the Intel Compiler v7.0 and the latest STLport, in windows? It seems I still have to hack files in date_time/posix_time (specifically time_formatters.hpp), to reduce my compile errors. Like defining BOOST_MSVC and then undeffing it, before line 43 of this file is processed. Otherwise I get ambigious operator definitions. Also, is it possible to actually build the date_time library with the Intel compiler and STLport at the same time? Why is there a msvc-stlport toolset but no intel-stlport toolset? O; another thing. Has anyone perhaps built boost in MSYS before? If MSVC + Intel setup is giving me too much hassle, I am going to try and build boost in MSYS. Greetings, Andre

lambda and smart pointers
by Rodolfo Lima 08 Sep '03

08 Sep '03

What's the proper way to use lambda with smart pointers? I'm trying to compile the following: class Dados { public: Dados(int _a) : a(_a) {}; int Pega() const { return a; } private: int a; }; int main() { shared_ptr<Dados> pDados(new Dados(5)); cout << (bind(&Dados::Pega, _1)(pDados)==5) << endl; return 0; } I've already tried with *_1 with no success. In this case, the compiler (VC7.1) returns "error C2039: 'iterator_category' : is not a member of 'boost::shared_ptr<T>'". Any hope? Thanks, rod

Compile errors boost 1.30.2
by Andre du Toit 08 Sep '03

08 Sep '03

Hi. I get the following error when compiling the latest version of boost, using Intel compiler 7.0 in visual c++: ..\..\..\boost\boost/type_traits/is_integral.hpp(39): error: class "boost::is_integral<unsigned short>" has already been defined BOOST_TT_AUX_BOOL_TRAIT_CV_SPEC1(is_integral,wchar_t,true) Now the offending line sits between a "#ifndef BOOST_NO_INTRINSIC_WCHAR_T". The simple fix of defining BOOST_NO_INTRINSIC_WCHAR_T solves this problem, but causes other problems in other locations. All I want is to compile and link against boost::date_time library, using my compiler setup. Thats all. Any suggestions? Greetings, Andre

Re: [Boost-Users] ostream_iterator and std::copy - better solutions?

is this what you had in mind?? I've considered this from time to time (first time I've formalized it tho) especially thinking of alternatives to the 3 delimiter arguments (substitute one?

[BGL] adjacency property iterator
by sashan 05 Sep '03

05 Sep '03

Hi Is there an adjancency iterator for property types. You can get an iterator for property types like this: typedef graph_property_iter_range<GraphType, vertex_name_t>::iterator VNameIterator; .... tie(It, ItEnd) = get_property_iter_range(m_Graph, vertex_name); I'd like to know if there is something similar for adjacency iterators. I posted this question a few days ago but got no response so I guess that the answer is no but I want to make sure. Thanks -- sashan http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~sgov008/

using boost::mem_fn result as a parameter?
by Mark Sizer 04 Sep '03

04 Sep '03

I'm new to boost::bind and boost::mem_fn. I've read the documentation and I think I understand what they do, but I'm not sure how to use them to accomplish my task. I have a class that contains several vectors in a map. I want to put a "foreach" method on the class that will callback an arbitrary member function, of an arbitrary class, for each item in the vector. I'm stuck on the signature of that method. A quick sketch of the structure: class VectorContent { public: void dosomething(); // there are bunches more, which is why I don't // want a foreach for every possible choice. }; class VectorHolder { std::map<std::string, std::vector<VectorContent> >; std::vector<VectorContent>& rvectGet(const std::string& rksName); public: void foreach( const std::string& rksName, <WHAT?> ); }; // the callback Caller::Bar( VectorContent& vc ) { vc.dosomething(); } I see two options for the caller: // option 1 Caller::Foo1() { VectorHolder callee; // in this case, foreach uses boost::mem_fn(), not me callee.foreach( "VectorName", &this::Bar ); } // option 2 Caller::Foo2(); { VectorHolder callee; callee.foreach( "VectorName", boost::mem_fn(&this::Bar) ); } In the case of option 1, all callers must share a common base class, which they do NOT, so that the signature of VectorHolder::foreach can be: typedef void (BaseClass::* MyCallBack)(VectorContent&); Leading to: void VectorHolder::foreach( const std::string& rsName, MyCallBack callback ) { std::vector<VectorContent>& rvect = rvectGet( rsName ); std::for_each( rvect.begin(), rvect.end(), boost::mem_fn(callback) ); } In the case of option 2, I have no idea what the signature should be. But the resulting method would be: void VectorHolder::foreach( std::string& rsName, WHAT? callback ) { std::vector<VectorContent>& rvect = rvectGet( rsName ); std::for_each( rvect.begin(), rvect.end(), callback ); } Grateful for any help, - Mark P.S. If there's an "option 3", I'm up for that, too.
