[format] Compiler error when using the Sun compiler.
by Sid Sacek 18 Jun '08

18 Jun '08

Can someone please assist? This code below doesn't compile when I use the Sun compiler. My company is currently using boost 1.33.0, and I cannot do anything about that, but I want to use boost::format. What modification can I make to the format files to fix this issue? Thanks, -Sid Sacek #include <boost/format.hpp> int main( int, char ** ) { boost::format fmt( "test %d %d\n" ); } [[[ The error: ]]] "/data/thirdparty/suncc/32/boost_1_33_0/include/boost/format/alt_sstream_impl.hpp", line 248: Error: Cannot assign void* to char*.

GIL - Fast Alpha Blends
by Tom Brinkman 18 Jun '08

18 Jun '08

There have been thread before about doing fast alpha blends with GIL views. Here is what I settled with. boost::gil::gray8c_view_t grayview = boost::gil::interleaved_view(width,height,(gray8_pixel_t*)buffer,width); copy_view(pixel(0,0,0),grayview,someview); struct alpha_blend { short alpha; alpha_blend(short alpha) : alpha(alpha){} template <typename T> void operator()(T& dst, const T src) { dst = ((dst + 1) * alpha >> 8) - ((src + 1) * alpha >> 8) + src; } }; template <typename pixel_t, typename grayview_t, typename view_t> inline void copy_view(pixel_t pixel, const grayview_t& grayview, const view_t& view) { using namespace boost::gil; BOOST_ASSERT(grayview.width() == view.width()); typedef typename view_t::x_iterator x_iterator_t; typedef typename grayview_t::x_iterator x_iterator2_t; for (int y = 0; y < view.height(); ++y) { x_iterator_t it_view = view.row_begin(y); x_iterator2_t it_gray = grayview.row_begin(y); for (int x = 0; x < view.width(); ++x) { pixel_t dst = pixel; static_for_each(dst, it_view[x], alpha_blend(it_gray[x])); it_view[x] = dst; } } }

[Units] A first step to ease the usage of Units' quantities inside of functors created with the Lambda library
by Torsten Mähne 18 Jun '08

18 Jun '08

Hello, I'm pleased to see so much activity in the development of Boost.Units recently. I try to apply it myself in some code to model physical systems. There it helps me a lot to ensure the correct use of the model parameters inside the model equations and to ensure the correct composition of components to a system model. Certain component behaviour, I would like to parametrize for each component instance by passing a functor describing, e.g., a signal waveform or a non-linear relation between to quantities. I therefore tried to combine Boost.Units with Boost.Lambda and Boost.Function. I noticed that currently Units and Lambda use two independent systems of trait classes to determine the return type of algebraic operations like +, -, *, /. This requires to litter the lambda expression with a lot of ret<return_type>(...) function calls to construct a functor containing boost::units::quantity<U, V> instances. However, the trait classes used by Units and Lambda are very similar, so I created as a first solution a header file <lambda.hpp> (see attachment), which extends Boost.Lambda's return type reduction system through partial specialization to use Boost.Units' trait classes in case boost::unit::quantity<U,V> are involved in operator[+|-|*|/]() calls. Maybe it's also useful for others and could even become part of Boost.Units after some further improvements. However, there are some open issues: - Can some of the partial specializations be dropped? - Is there a need to add other specializations (e.g, for boost::units::unit<Dim, System, Enable>)? - Is there a way to work around boost::lambda:bind's limitation concerning the binding of overloaded functions? The required static_cast to the function pointer (referring, e.g., a function from boost/units/cmath.hpp) is tedious. The attached small test program <units_with_lambda_test.cpp> demonstrates its usage and tedious bind issue, for which I haven't found a solution yet. Boost.Lambda requires calls to functions to be postponed using boost::lambda::bind(), so that they are executed not only once upon functor creation but at each functor call. Bind has the unfortunate limitation that it cannot resolve calls to overloaded functions. Thus, each time a call to an overloaded function (e.g., all functions defined in <boost/units/cmath.hpp>) is made, a lengthy static_cast<return_type (*)(argument_type)>(function_name) is needed for the first bind argument to help the compiler to find the overloaded function, which can accept the function arguments passed by the other bind arguments. Could this be somehow avoided or at least the syntax simplified? I'm thinking of, e.g., a templated function or (more ugly) a preprocessor macro adding the required static_cast based on some trait class or typeof. I'm looking forward to your feedback.

Boost crashing before main() called.
by Zack S 18 Jun '08

18 Jun '08

I have a Win32 program compiled and linked with Visual C++ Express 9 that is crashing during the loading of DLLs, and it appears that it is the boost filesystem code specifically failing. This problem occurs under Windows XP but oddly not under Vista. Can someone tell me how I can compile Boost under Windows? I did not find any info in the documentation section. Thanks.

Patch for building Boost with GCC 4.4.0
by Chris Fairles 18 Jun '08

18 Jun '08

GCC changed the way #elif's are handled (is now more std-compliant apparently) but this broke all the #elif BOOST_PP_ITERATION_DEPTH() == N lines. They need to be replaced with #elif defined(BOOST_PP_ITERATION_DEPTH) #if BOOST_PP_ITERATION_DEPTH == N ... #endif Attached is a patch that does so (against trunk). Cheers, Chris

Constructor with parameters -- Lambda
by albert meyburgh 18 Jun '08

18 Jun '08

Thanks for the input on trying to use boost::lambda::bind instead of boost::bind, unfortunately there is no bind in the lambda namespace. I'm using Boost 1.35, and in my version "namespace lambda" only exists in boost\lambda\construct.hpp and only contains a single templated struct constructor, there is no bind available :( Any ideas? I'm trying all sort of funny syntax variations to no avail...

Looks like there is a typo on that page... "Boostpro is a small company composed exclusively of Boost library authors. To provide you with libraries that make it easy to write write maintainable, beautiful, efficient code, the Boost internals rely on advanced C++ techniques and a strong knowledge of the ISO C++ standard document. They are written by a community of mostly-volunteer expert developers with their own distinct culture and practices." I have a bit of a beef with the efficient part at least in places -- http://webEbenezer.net/comparison.html. Preliminary results on Boost 1.35 and MSVC9 show only minor differences from the 1.34.1 and MSVC8 results. Brian Wood
