[egg] some comments
by Giovanni Piero Deretta 11 Apr '08

11 Apr '08

I'm attaching some comments after a not-so-brief reading of the egg documentations. I've started the review a while ago, so some of the comments (especially those about static initialization) might be obsolete after the long discussion I had with the author in another thread, but Shunsuke Sogame might want to respond again for those that missed that thread. This is not yet a complete review, I want to spur further discussion on this library (especially on the documentation) before providing a final review. Finally I would like to encourage others to review this library (no reviews yet and we are in the second week!) because it provides some extremely needed functionalities. -- gpd

[thread_new] New thread launching library based on N1883: Any plans?
by vicente.botet 11 Apr '08

11 Apr '08

Hello Ion, When Kevlin Henney presented his vision of how the thread interface could be in "More C++ Threading: From Procedural to Generic, by Example" , April 2004 I has very impressed on how the roles were inversed, not only for threads but also for condition variables. When he presented his proposal to the C++ LWG "N1883: Preliminary Threading Library Proposal for TR2" , August 2005 I has very excited. When you announced your implementation based on N1883 [ANN][thread_new] New thread launching library based on N1883 - Ion Gaztañaga May 03, 2006 I started to though that this could be soon a reality. When the Kevlin proposal was not accepted I was really disappointed. Could you point me some links that help me to understand why his proposal was not found interesting or souhaitable? Any way your implementation on top of the thread interface proved that we can have two level interfaces. Independently of the C++ standard, do you think that it will be possible to have two thread interfaces in Boost, one on top of the other? Do you plan to follow your thread implementation, and request a Boost review? I'm really interested, and I supose that I'm not alone. Best regards _____________________ Vicente Juan Botet Escriba

I think the follow through on pre-built binaries that would be needed is more than the release team currently delivers. It would require branching out to the library level (I think the pre-builts are mostly of the whole of Boost) and then multiplying that times primary configuration options such as logging/non-logging. And then multiplying that total by the various platforms. That gets to be too much work with the various platforms around. The situation could be simplified by having a compiler that applies user code against a library and outputs fully instantiated source code. That seems like it would minimize the platform dimension in the equation. The compiler I'm talking about would be strong in terms of it's implementation of the language and some/most of the platform related preprocessing wouldn't be needed. This approach might make it easier to push C++0x functionality to more platforms without the various compiler implementors having to each incorporate support for all of the changes required by the standard.

In "Boost Background Information" (http://boost.org/users/ ) the link to "Who's using Boost" is http://boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/doc/html/who_s_using_boost_.html which points nowehere.

regex problem
by Mihaly Zachar 10 Apr '08

10 Apr '08

Hi all, I'm using libboost-regex1.34.1 from gutsy. here is a sample for my problem: ------- CUT ------- #include <boost/regex.hpp> #include <string> #include <iostream> using namespace std; using namespace boost; int main() { string input = "1111"; string a = "(.*)"; string b = "0$1"; regex reg (a, regex::perl); string out = regex_replace(input, reg, b); cout << out << endl; return 0; } ------- CUT ------- the expected result would be "01111" but it gives "011110"... why does it work like this ? if I use anchors (^ and $) it works well, but the problem is I will not get anchors from the other applications :( the problem is that I get regexes from different perl and php applications... will the upgrade to 1.35 solve my problem ? Thanks, Misi

drawing planar graphs
by Vicen 10 Apr '08

10 Apr '08

Hi, thanks Aaron. Another point: Is there any example to get a planar drawing without making the graph maximal planar? In the straight_line_drawing documentation this procedure is outlined. I think it would be very useful to have an example in the documentation which work for any planar graph without having to create explicitly the triangulated one. Thanks again and congratulations for the planar utilities, Vicen

[1.35.0] vc8 build: missing static libs
by Markus Werle 10 Apr '08

10 Apr '08

Hi! IMHO the "getting started" guide is missing some useful information that once used to be inside: I have absolutely no idea which version number to be put to the compiler for vc8. I remember having seen such a list of possible options, but I cannot find it anymore. So I tried the following command line with VS 2005 SP1: bjam --toolset=msvc-8.0 stage Seems to run fine, but I am missing most of the static libs, e.g. libboost_date_time-vc80-mt-s-1_35.lib is missing. stage/lib contains the files listed below. Any idea what might have gone wrong? Markus content of stage/lib: boost_date_time-vc80-mt-1_35.dll boost_date_time-vc80-mt-1_35.lib boost_date_time-vc80-mt.lib boost_filesystem-vc80-mt-1_35.dll boost_filesystem-vc80-mt-1_35.lib boost_filesystem-vc80-mt.lib boost_graph-vc80-mt-1_35.dll boost_graph-vc80-mt-1_35.lib boost_graph-vc80-mt.lib boost_iostreams-vc80-mt-1_35.dll boost_iostreams-vc80-mt-1_35.lib boost_iostreams-vc80-mt.lib boost_prg_exec_monitor-vc80-mt-1_35.dll boost_prg_exec_monitor-vc80-mt-1_35.lib boost_prg_exec_monitor-vc80-mt.lib boost_program_options-vc80-mt-1_35.dll boost_program_options-vc80-mt-1_35.lib boost_program_options-vc80-mt.lib boost_python-vc80-mt-1_35.dll boost_python-vc80-mt-1_35.lib boost_python-vc80-mt.lib boost_regex-vc80-mt-1_35.dll boost_regex-vc80-mt-1_35.lib boost_regex-vc80-mt.lib boost_serialization-vc80-mt-1_35.dll boost_serialization-vc80-mt-1_35.lib boost_serialization-vc80-mt.lib boost_signals-vc80-mt-1_35.dll boost_signals-vc80-mt-1_35.lib boost_signals-vc80-mt.lib boost_system-vc80-mt-1_35.dll boost_system-vc80-mt-1_35.lib boost_system-vc80-mt.lib boost_thread-vc80-mt-1_35.dll boost_thread-vc80-mt-1_35.lib boost_thread-vc80-mt.lib boost_unit_test_framework-vc80-mt-1_35.dll boost_unit_test_framework-vc80-mt-1_35.lib boost_unit_test_framework-vc80-mt.lib boost_wave-vc80-mt-1_35.dll boost_wave-vc80-mt-1_35.lib boost_wave-vc80-mt.lib boost_wserialization-vc80-mt-1_35.dll boost_wserialization-vc80-mt-1_35.lib boost_wserialization-vc80-mt.lib libboost_test_exec_monitor-vc80-mt-1_35.lib libboost_test_exec_monitor-vc80-mt.lib
