Switch library review begins today and ends on Jan 9th
by Stjepan Rajko 05 Jan '08

05 Jan '08

The review of the Switch library by Steven Watanabe begins today. Description: The built in C/C++ switch statement is very efficient. Unfortunately, unlike a chained if/else construct there is no easy way to use it when the number of cases depends on a template parameter. The Switch library addresses this issue. You can download the library from the Boost Vault: http://tinyurl.com/23qn7w For convenience, the docs have been uploaded here: http://tinyurl.com/2h6ut9 ... and the source file here: http://tinyurl.com/2cbfyk What to include in Review Comments Your comments may be brief or lengthy, but basically the Review Manager needs your evaluation of the library. If you identify problems along the way, please note if they are minor, serious, or showstoppers. Here are some questions you might want to answer in your review: * What is your evaluation of the design? * What is your evaluation of the implementation? * What is your evaluation of the documentation? * What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library? * Did you try to use the library? With what compiler? Did you have any problems? * How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A quick reading? In-depth study? * Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain? And finally, every review should answer this question: * Do you think the library should be accepted as a Boost library? Be sure to say this explicitly so that your other comments don't obscure your overall opinion. Thanks to Dan Marsden, Larry Evans, Tobias Schwinger, and Alexander Nasonov for already opening up the discussion in the following threads: http://tinyurl.com/2u6fjr [nabble/boost-user] http://tinyurl.com/267uj3 [nabble/boost-dev] Thank you for taking the time to look into this library, and I hope that some of you will be able to provide a full review for it. Regards, Stjepan

[compressed_pair] using compressed_pair to substitute a possibly empty member
by Tobias Schwinger 05 Jan '08

05 Jan '08

Hi, I'm using compressed_pair to substitute a possibly empty member whose type is specified by a template argument and experience difficulties: template< typename T > class A { T x; public: // [ctor, ...] void foo() const { // if T is a reference type, non-const access to the // object referenced by x is possible, here } }; // but: template< typename T > class changed_A : boost::compressed_pair<T,boost::blank> { public: // [ctor, ...] void foo() const { // first() always returns a reference to const // even if T is a reference to non-const } }; So: Did I find a subtle design flaw or bug in compressed_pair or is it just the use case I'm throwing at it? In case of the latter we should probably introduce a compressed_member (or so) and have it implement const semantics consistent with members. Regards, Tobias

[Interval] Conversion from integer types?
by John Maddock 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

Can someone explain what the issue is in converting an integer type to a boost::interval, and in performing mixed integer/floating point arithmetic and comparisons? Is it simply that the integer types may have more bits in their representation than floating point ones, and we may therefore loose precision? If so, can we not convert integers to intervals implicitly, complete with calculation of the error? That would auto-magically make mixed integer/floating point arithmetic work as well. And yes, I'm prepared to invest some time to make this work and do the right thing, if time is the only stumbling block :-) Thanks, John.

boost.test link error
by jerome.wacongne＠fxoverlay.com 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

Hi, My problem might be a beginner one, but I spent all day searching forums and mailing archives and it didn't help much, so I am asking at the source. The reason why I write this email is that modifying boost source helps but what I did is not enough. what I did : - a first test file using helper macros to test a class (works fine alone) : #define BOOST_TEST_MAIN #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE(Class1TestsSuite); BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( test1 ){ BOOST_CHECK(1 == 2-1); } BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END(); - add a second test file using helper macros to test an other class (compilation is OK, link KO) : #define BOOST_TEST_MAIN #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE(Class2TestsSuite); BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( test2 ){ BOOST_CHECK(1 != 2); } BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END(); Here are the errors : c:/dev/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-pc-mingw32/4.2.1-dw2/../../../../include/c++/4.2.1-dw2/new multiple definition of `init_unit_test_suite(int, char**)' line 105 tests\main.o:c:/dev/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-pc-mingw32/4.2.1-dw2/../../../../include/boost/test/unit_test_suite.hpp first defined here line 184 I have edited unit_test_suite.hpp to add inline decalration to init_unit_test_suite : #else inline ::boost::unit_test::test_suite* init_unit_test_suite( int, char* [] ) { #endif Doing so, first error is suppressed. I might need to rebuild boost test lib for the second, but I haven't the tools at workplace. I am using : - Windows XP - MinGW packaged with boost 1.34.1 (http://nuwen.net/mingw.html) - Eclipse CDT Regards, Jérôme.

I imagine that Intel should care. ;) One of my team members used to work on the Intel compiler - I'll ask him to ping his former colleagues to see if we can get some attention from them on this issue.

Question regarding boost.unordered
by Lipik Contact 03 Jan '08

03 Jan '08

Hello list, I have downloaded unordered library from the vault and plan to start using it. However, looking at the documentation, there might be issues that prevent it being useful for me. Could someone please comment on the following: If the user holds a reference (or pointer) to some element in the container (e.g. T const *p = &*it), is that reference guaranteed to remain valid after the insertion/erase of some other elements? I ask because doc says that erasing through an iterator can be O(size) - which seems to suggest that erase can lead to a rehash, invalidating iterators. This appears to contradict the iterator lifetime guarantee posited by the standard (after all, tree based containers don't rebalance after erase, do they?) Another question: any thoughts on whether it is better to use boost::hash for pointers and wstrings, or would a modification of the FNV hash included with unordered give better results? Also, I'm assuming that I can plug this library into boost-1.33.1. Many thanks Amit

optimization of boost::end
by Neal Becker 03 Jan '08

03 Jan '08

The common idiom is: for (; i != boost::end (vector); ++i) ... The compiler had damn well better realize that boost::end is a constant function that can be lifted from the loop, or performance can be severely impacted. Does anyone have any experience with this? Is there a portable way to give hints to the compiler? Should boost provide such a facility?

[review][unordered] Review summary
by Ion Gaztañaga 03 Jan '08

03 Jan '08

Hi to all, This post tries to summarize the review of the new Boost.Unordered library. In general, there were no serious implementation change requests and most reviewers had only documentation issues. Here we go: * * * begin of summary * * * Thosten Ottosen's review: ---------------------- (http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2007/12/131372.php) Thorsten questioned about the convenience of supporting throwing hash or predicates. This started a thread about the exception safety guarantees of STL containers and Daniel explained the thread-safety guarantees of Unordered. Basically, Daniel's implementation uses an smart double-buffering technique to obtain strong safety guarantees (stricter than the requirements of the standard) in some operations. There's an slight size overhead (the container must allocate space for two equality functors and hashers) but according to Daniel, speed should not suffer. Chung Ping Wang's review: ---------------------- (http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2007/12/131372.php) The only complain was the packaging of the library (there was an "unordered" directory at the top). Since the library has been accepted it will be packaged as the rest of Boost libraries so the problem disappears. Mathias Gaunard's comment: ---------------------- (http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2007/12/131426.php) Mathias suggested adding move semantics and in-place construction. Daniel said that these features were likely to be added in the future. He pointed that we have no standard move emulation library in Boost so we'll need to push that first. Regarding in-place construction, there is a problem with allocators, since containers are now required to call allocator::construct() to construct values. Hervé Brönnimann's review: ---------------------- (http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2007/12/131435.php) Hervé praised the library and suggested adding operator==(). Daniel replied that he was trying to limit himself to obvious design decisions for extensions so he didn't want to go into this area. He also cited some problems with non-unique key unordered containers. Hervé suggested extending the prime number list and Daniel agreed. Daniel also agreed to correct some documentation issues. "Swap" semantics wrt allocators was also discussed. "Swap" and its effect on containers is an active issue in the committee, so Daniel is free to implement what he thinks best until we have a firm resolution. John Torjo's review: ---------------------- (http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2007/12/131557.php) A concise and positive review with no comments. Jamie Allsop's review: ---------------------- (http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2007/12/131762.php) Documentation suggestions that Daniel found interesting and a request to include a comparison with other implementations. Steven Watanabe's comments ---------------------- (http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2007/12/131817.php) Several implementation comments regarding (ADL, BOOST_DEDUCED_TYPENAME, warnings...). See the post for details. Cromwell Enage's review ---------------------- (http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2007/12/32706.php) Suggested the addition of local_cbegin() and similar, and some documentation suggestions Daniel agreed to solve. Paul A Bristow's review ---------------------- (http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2007/12/131545.php) A brief and positive review with no comments. * * * end of summary * * * Regards, Ion
