[Intrusive] More compile time parameters
by Rei Thiessen 18 Aug '07

18 Aug '07

Hello, (my version of the library is intrusive.2007-03-04.zip. Is there a more recent version?) I have three suggestions: 1) The containers uses a modulo operation to map the hash value range into the bucket index domain. When using a bucket size that is an order of 2, the excess cost of the div instruction is unneeded. This was a critical issue for me. There can be a new templated type parameter for specifying a functor that takes the hash output value and the bucket size as inputs and outputs the bucket index. The default type of this template parameter can simply be std::modulus. 2) Each container stores the bucket size. This is too an unneeded excess in certain circumstances. If the containers had a (optional) templated constant parameter that determined its bucket size, then the container memory footprint can be reduced at the expense of bloating the code segments with multiple instantiations. This memory saving is crucial when deploying numerous small hash container objects. This new templated constant parameter has interface ramifications. We would require two specializations of the container class: the run-time bucket size specialization is what we have today; for the compile-time bucket size container, the constructors would not have "size_type buckets_len" parameters. 3) Now, if we add another templated type parameter for specifying a functor that takes the object 'this' pointer as input and outputs the memory address of the bucket array, then we can reduce the memory cost of each container to zero. Combining 2) and 3), we can develop a single concept: As an example... struct default_bucket_info { /* appropriate constructors... */ bucket_ptr buckets_; size_type buckets_len_; template<class T> bucket_ptr buckets( T* container ) const { return buckets_; } size_type buckets_len() const { return buckets_len_; } } Realizing 2): template< unsigned n > struct bucket_info_size_n { /* appropriate constructors... */ bucket_ptr buckets_; template<class T> bucket_ptr buckets( T* container ) const { return buckets_; } size_type buckets_len() const { return 1<<n; } } Realizing 2) and 3): template< unsigned n > struct bucket_info_in_place_size_n { template<class T> bucket_ptr buckets( T* container ) const { return (bucket_ptr)container; } size_type buckets_len() const { return 1<<n; } } Applying these concepts, I think we can reach a balance between having a concrete container class and having a collection of free container algorithm functions. (If only C++ would adopt C99's VLAs, 3) can be far more elegant...) Are there any drawbacks to extending the unordered associative container classes with these concepts? (I will be modifying my copy of the library with these changes for my personal needs) RT

Time Series review results
by John Phillips 17 Aug '07

17 Aug '07

I am pleased to announce that the Time Series library, submitted by Eric Neibler and developed by him along with Daniel Egloff, Matthias Troyer, David Abrahams and Daniel Wallin using funding provided by Zurcher Kantonalbank has been accepted into boost. As seen in the review, there are some important issues that need to be addressed before the library is ready for boost distribution, however I am confident that this is a very good library. Although the donation of time and funding for Time Series by Zurcher Kantonalbank is laudable and something we would like to encourage more companies to do, the fact that it was donated is not important to the review process. Something that is important is the well-established reputation of the involved lead developer. Eric has a number of very high quality libraries already in boost and has shown his willingness to support them thoroughly and improve them continually. He has been very responsive to user feedback and has an obvious desire to have only high quality work committed to boost with his name on it. For this reason, I am giving him a little more leeway than might be given to a developer without his reputation to address the issues in this review and enter the revised version into boost without a fast tracked second review. Many thanks to the participants in the review: Tom Brinkman, Hugo Duncan, Andrey Tcherepanov, Matthias Schabel, Steven Watanabe, Stjepan Rajko, Matias Capeletto, Matthias Schabel, Lewis Hyatt, Paul Bristow, Tobias Schwinger, Matthias Troyer, Phil Endecott, Zach Laine, Dave Abrahams, Michael Marcin, and Michael Fawcett for their time and attention. The discussions held in this review provided a strong foundation for improving the library, and the variety of domains of expertise represented by the participants shows how broad the desire for a library of this sort is. Most of the points raised in the review have been directly addressed by Eric and discussed until a solution that is acceptable to all involved parties was reached. Eric has acknowledged many as now either fixed in his version or on his To-Do list. However, for the sake of easy reference I will list the major points and my current understanding of what to do about them below. The order in which the points are presented should not be taken as a rating of importance: it is just the order I made notes about them as I reviewed the discussion. 1) Fix the floating-point offset issues – The answer to this may be a change in how they are implemented or a complete scrapping of the floating point offsets as an indexing type. In either case, it would be a good idea to provide a view facade for time series that applies a constant multiplicative factor (or possibly a more general function) to an offset. This may even be a sufficient answer to all the floating-point issues, but it is not yet clear to me (or to anyone else that I noticed in the review) what the best answer is. I expect there will be continued discussion on the developer list to clarify this issue. 2) Polish and include the rolling window average example sent to the list – This is a very good example of a very potent design idiom for this library, and one that would help a lot of people better understand the potential of the library. The use of the circular buffer to collect multiple points is necessary for many filters. It is such a good case that you should consider not only including it in the library, but also making a tutorial out of it that shows how new algorithms can be added to the library. Ideally, many algorithms that are specific to domains that the authors are not specialists in will be donated by users who develop and polish them for inclusion. A very clear tutorial will make this more likely. 3) If the rolling average is not developed as a tutorial example, some other filter should be – There is no way the library can include all the filters in use by programmers in all the various use domains, so the expectation is that writing your own filters will be common. The documentation needs to support this very well. 4) The documentation needs improvement in a number of ways – Reorganization to build from foundational ideas and uses to the more complex issues is important, as is the addition of overview, tutorial and rationale sections, as well as a substantial increase in the number of examples. The learning curve is currently too steep and that seems to be discouraging users who might find the library a very good fit. An important step along the way is to add good examples and good pictures in many places in the documentation. This general note is reinforced in some of the other comments. 5) Small toy examples for each of the algorithms would make the documentation of them far more clear 6) Since you maintain both libraries, it would be useful to add to the documentation for both the Time Series and the Accumulators libraries some notes on how a user should select between them for specific jobs. This came up in discussions before the review, so it is likely to be a problem for more future users. 7) Well chosen pictures can help the readers of this documentation immensely – Especially in your attempts to clarify the documentation of the discretization, the offset and sample values, good pictures will be invaluable. 8) Expand the focus of the documentation so it doesn't appear to a casual reader that this is purely for econometric/financial time series – The library has potential uses in a wide variety of fields, so it is important that potential future users can tell that from even a light skimming of the documentation. 9) The prenamed discretizations seem to cause more problems than they solve – Initial testing of the boost::units library to provide discretization units looks hopeful. If this stands up under testing, not only remove the current prenamed discretizations, but also document using boost::units. A good example could do for this. 10) It is only possible to assign across series with the same discretization type – This should be made more explicit in the documentation and also since a good example of trouble that would be caused by trying to assign series with different discretization types showed up during the review, it might be added to the rationale section so users can see why the choice is a good one. 11) The reasoning behind having unit series for types that have no obvious unit member should also appear in the rationale – In general, there were many good explanations for design choices that should appear in the rationale section. Many of these reasons are compelling but not obvious to a developer who has not tried writing a time series library. Thus they are ideal rationale entries. 12) Currently non-entries in a dense time series are recorded as zeros. This does not seem to be the best idea in all cases. In specific, in some time series, the difference between a value of zero an unknown is very important. Investigate the best choice for a non-entry. Zero gives simple arithmetic for multiplication (though not addition) that gives the unknown value placeholder when multiplied with anything. Some non-zero value would have to have special arithmetic rules, probably. A universal answer may not be feasible. If not, consider making the unknown value a parameter available for the user to set. 13) Consider a name change from delta_series to dirac_delta_series and a link in the documentation to what a Dirac delta function is. 14) Consider renaming the inverse_series to reciprocal_series or some other more illustrative name. 15) Consider reorganizing to expose the storage containers to outside developers – They are likely to be useful for a number of applications aside from time series and this would prevent others from needing to reinvent the wheel as often. 16) Since the usage of time series is spread across a variety of different problem domains, there will be terms that aren't familiar to many of the readers of the documentation. Consider including links to definitions and descriptions for many of the terms used. Paul's example of users who don't know what amortized constant complexity implies is unfortunately not extreme for what you should expect. 17) ordered_inserter is not a great name for the operation it performs - Determine a better name and change to that. Also consider moving to named parameters for the start, stop and value arguments to the ordered_inserter. After all this, the ordered_inserter is a lower level interface than most users want in most circumstances. Add another layer for doing appends on top of this interface, and include a push_back method where sensible for more stl-like syntax. 18) There is a confusion between the template parameter discretization and the constructor parameter discretization. Consider changing the name for the template parameter to something like Discretization_type. 19) Include in the documentation a clear description of what it means for two discretizations to be the same, and point out that the runtime check for this is an assertion, not an exception. Explain why in the rationale section, if nowhere else. 20) A number of reviewers found the concepts of discretization, offset and run to be hard to grasp from the documentation. Work to improve this. 21) The comparison operators for the time_series_facade currently are tied to the time_series_base class. This could be generalized to remove that dependency. If this is done, the documentation should no longer say that time_series_base is the base for all time_series classes, but instead that it provides a convenient base for implementing time_series classes. If this isn't done, the documentation should clearly state the need to inherit from time_series_base. 22) A large number of specific documentation edits were provided in posts by Steven, Paul and Zach. 23) Fix the documentation to clearly show what kind of iterator the series_stl_iterator is. 24) This is outside the scope of this review for a complete answer, but there are questions about the behavior of non-MSVC compilers that define the _MSC_VER macro to masquerade as MS compilers. Is there a way to know which (if any) share the behaviors of the actual MS compilers they pose as, and what is the best way to test for them in code. While the pursuit of this answer is not part of this library, using it is, so if a good answer is found it should become part of this library. 25) Provide versions of the fine_grain and coarse_grain functions that allow for the user to easily provide a sampling function - This is likely to be a very common use case for this library, so it should be well supported. An example in the documentation of how to do this is a good idea. 26) If the review of floating point offsets concludes that they should remain in the library, the dense series reference page should explicitly point out that floating point offsets are not usable with dense series. 27) What is the appropriate handling of zero width points. They are a part of the library in the delta_series, so having them is unavoidable. They should be on firm conceptual ground if possible. 28) Make the existence and use of the set_at function more obvious in the documentation – Reviewers didn't notice it and missed the functionality, so others will, as well. 29) Consider whether it is valuable to provide versions of the transform algorithm that take more than two series as arguments. I can't think of a good application off hand, but there may be some. However, the same reviewer who requested the feature said earlier in the review that he almost never works on more than one series at a time. 30) Provide an example of using a single pass data stream with a circular buffer based algorithm. 31) Consider a better name for the scaled_storage_tag. 32) Consider whether users need access to the metafunctions used to determine return types. If so, consider how they could be exposed in a user friendly way. Once again, my thanks to the reviewers and the developers for the work, time and attention put into this library and congratulations to Eric for the accepted work. John Phillips Review Manager

[graph] csr_graph_test.

Now that we've switched everyone back to testing the trunk I though I'd bring this test up. When one is lucky, it fails with a "memory access violation" in *all* platforms. When one isn't lucky, which seems to be just about all the time on my Linux machine, one gets an interrupt from libc with an accompanying stack dump: *** glibc detected *** /home/grafik/devroots/Boost/boost-trunk-testing/results/boost/bin.v2/libs/graph/test/csr_graph_test.test/gcc-4.2.0~linux~x86/debug/csr_graph_test: free(): invalid size: 0x08091818 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6[0xb7cdf7cd] /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6[0xb7ce04da] /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6(__libc_malloc+0x7e)[0xb7ce160e] /usr/local/gcc-4.2.0/lib/libstdc++.so.6(__cxa_allocate_exception+0x22)[0xb7eac3a2] /home/grafik/devroots/Boost/boost-trunk-testing/results/boost/bin.v2/libs/graph/test/csr_graph_test.test/gcc-4.2.0~linux~x86/debug/csr_graph_test[0x804c797] /home/grafik/devroots/Boost/boost-trunk-testing/results/boost/bin.v2/libs/graph/test/csr_graph_test.test/gcc-4.2.0~linux~x86/debug/csr_graph_test[0x804c86f] /home/grafik/devroots/Boost/boost-trunk-testing/results/boost/bin.v2/libs/graph/test/csr_graph_test.test/gcc-4.2.0~linux~x86/debug/csr_graph_test[0x804d680] /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xdc)[0xb7c8debc] /home/grafik/devroots/Boost/boost-trunk-testing/results/boost/bin.v2/libs/graph/test/csr_graph_test.test/gcc-4.2.0~linux~x86/debug/csr_graph_test(_ZNSt15basic_streambufIcSt11char_traitsIcEE6xsputnEPKci+0x41)[0x804af91] ======= Memory map: ======== 08048000-0807c000 r-xp 00000000 03:01 879620 /home/grafik/devroots/Boost/boost-trunk-testing/results/boost/bin.v2/libs/graph/test/csr_graph_test.test/gcc-4.2.0~linux~x86/debug/csr_graph_test 0807c000-0807d000 rw-p 00034000 03:01 879620 /home/grafik/devroots/Boost/boost-trunk-testing/results/boost/bin.v2/libs/graph/test/csr_graph_test.test/gcc-4.2.0~linux~x86/debug/csr_graph_test 0807d000-080c0000 rw-p 0807d000 00:00 0 [heap] [...] ************************* ~~~~ ************************* Which wouldn't be so bad, except that it halts the testing.

Boost building with CMake
by Bill Hoffman 17 Aug '07

17 Aug '07

Hi, I noticed the "boost development process / scope" thread on your list. A CMake user posted a link to your discussion. There is significant interest in the CMake community to help boost transition to CMake. Several people on the CMake list have volunteered to help, and Kitware is willing to put about 2 man weeks of effort into the conversion. I think that CMake has all the features to do what you need at this point, but if any bugs or issues are discovered during the process, we can fix them and/or provide work-arounds for the issues. I realize you have not yet decided on moving to CMake, but I thought I would put out this offer so that you could consider "free" support as one of the benefits you will receive from the port to CMake. I can see this happening in two ways. One would be for a CMake developer to create initial cmake files for boost, and get the basics working. Then, the work would be turned over to the Boost community. The other way would be to have a boost developer create the build files with help and support from the CMake community. Either way works for me. Of course, no one will want to do anything unless there is a commitment to actually use CMake. I will stay on this list while you decide, and answer any questions about CMake that may come up. Thanks, and I look forward to working with the boost community in the future. -Bill

Possible bug with mpl::joint_view working on two mpl::maps
by Martin Apel 17 Aug '07

17 Aug '07

Hi all, I have two mpl maps like this: typedef map<pair<int_<1>, int_<42> >, pair<int_<2>, int_<43> >, pair<int_<3>, int_<44> > > Map1; typedef map<pair<int_<4>, int_<44> >, pair<int_<5>, int_<45> >, pair<int_<6>, int_<46> > > Map2; I try to join them using "joint_view" as follows: typedef joint_view<Map1, Map2>::type JointMap; which works fine. Then I do std::cout << at<JointMap, int_<2> >::type::value << "\n"; which gives the following compiler error: error: 'value' is not a member of 'boost::mpl::pair<mpl_::int_<3>, mpl_::int_<44> >' I tried this with gcc 3.4.6 and 4.2 under Linux, Boost version is 1.34.0. It seems "at" returns the entry after the searched entry, and not only the right half, but the complete pair. Has anybody got any hints on this? To me it looks like a bug in MPL, but I might be wrong. Best Regards, Martin ____________ Virus checked: AVKB 17.336 from 12.08.2007

[Announcement] Boost joins the Software Freedom Conservancy
by Beman Dawes 16 Aug '07

16 Aug '07

Effective August 10th, 2007, Boost became a member project of the Software Freedom Conservancy, http://conservancy.softwarefreedom.org. This means that Boost is now part of a legal entity under US law, and tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the US tax regulations. Although this doesn't have much short-term effect, it lets us move forward with BoostCon 2008 planning with less administrative delay. Long-term, being part of a non-profit organization allows Boost to continue to grow and prosper, and to raise money if that becomes useful. After considering the option of starting our own foundation (a huge amount of work), the Boost moderators decided that joining the Software Freedom Conservancy was a better option. The SFC provides the same legal abilities of a foundation at NO cost to the Boost project. It also minimizes the amount of legal and administrative hassles for project members -- allowing us to stay focused on technical matters rather than tax law. In addition, we are free to leave the SFC and create our own foundation at a later time if we decide that the SFC is not serving us well. Boost is not alone -- some other well known open source projects have also joined the SFC (eg: Samba, Wine). For those interested in the details, see a copy of the legal agreement at svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/more/BoostSponsorshipAgreement.pdf I signed for Boost, since I was the founder and am the owner of the boost.org domain name. Dave Abrahams gets the credit for working out the details of the SFC agreement, with the help of the other moderators. --Beman

ScopeExit Review Reminder
by Jody Hagins 16 Aug '07

16 Aug '07

We have received only a few reviews so far. The review ends in less than a week, so time is running short. Thanks! >From the original announcement... The review period for Scope Exit Time Series, submitted by Alexander Nasonov, runs from Monday, August 13 until Wednesday, August 22. >From the documentation: Nowadays, every C++ developer is familiar with RAII technique. It binds resource acquisition and release to initialization and destruction of a variable that holds the resource. But there are times when writing a special class for such variable is not worth the effort. This is when ScopeExit macro comes into play. You put resource acquisition directly in your code and next to it you write a code that releases the resource. Note that ScopeExit uses PP macros and relies on Boost.Typeof. The latest version can is here: http://boost-consulting.com/vault/index.php?action=downloadfile&filename=sc… It's available also at http://tinyurl.com/2z6qg2 Online documentation is here: http://194.6.223.221/~nasonov/scope_exit-0.04/libs/scope_exit/doc/html/inde… >From the review guidelines here: http://boost.org/more/formal_review_process.htm ... Boost mailing list members are encouraged to submit Formal Review comments: * Publicly on the mailing list. * Privately to the Review Manager. Private comments to a library submitter may be helpful to her or him, but won't help the Review Manager reach a decision, so the other forms are preferred. 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 in advance to every for your participation in this review.

[SVN] Mime types on check in

16 Aug '07

I'm having problems checking in a couple of file types: *.vcproj // text xml for VC projects *.sln // text xml for VC solutions These don't appear in my local SVN configuration. And the pre-commit script is complaining about them. Could this be fixed please? Robert Ramey

pool allocator question
by Steve Kettle 15 Aug '07

15 Aug '07

I have a question about the memory pool allocation that boost implements. Suppose we do the following: std::vector<int, boost::pool_allocator<int> > v; for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) v.push_back(-1); And the std::vector<int> is implemented so that it starts out with reserved space of 1 and doubles space every time. So At the end of the above loop v will have size 10 and reserved size 16. Does the boost allocator mean that there will memory arrays lieing around of size 1,2,4,8 that can be reused ? Eg if you do this: std::vector<int, boost::pool_allocator<int> > v; for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) v.push_back(-1); std::vector<int, boost::pool_allocator<int> > v2; for (int i = 0; i < 8; ++i) v2.push_back(-1); There will be no system call needed to get more memory - v2 will just reuse the memory in the pool_allocator<int> ? Thanks. Steve. --------------------------------- Take the Internet to Go: Yahoo!Go puts the Internet in your pocket: mail, news, photos & more.

[rfc] proposal to add enable_if_defined to Boost.Utility
by Stjepan Rajko 15 Aug '07

15 Aug '07

Hello, I have found the following little snippet of code quite useful (it is modeled closely after enable_if, but it enables if the given type has been defined, kind of like enable_if + HAS_XXX but simpler and more general). I am curious whether you think this functionality is useful in general, whether the implementation is OK, and whether you think it might be useful to add it to the Utility library (if the functionality is not somewhere else in boost already): // if T is a valid type enable_if_defined result is Result, otherwise specialization failure template<typename T, typename Result=void> struct enable_if_defined { typedef Result type; }; struct void_; // if we need to test for multiple types, we can use all_of template<typename T0=void_, typename T1=void_, typename T2=void_, typename T3=void_, typename T4=void_, typename T5=void_> struct all_of { }; Some examples of how I've been using it: /// Example 1: specialize a template if the type has a trait: template<typename T, typename Enable=void> struct producer_category_of { }; // if T has the producer_category trait, use it to specify producer_category_of template<typename T> struct producer_category_of<T, typename detail::enable_if_defined<typename T::producer_category >::type > { typedef typename T::producer_category type; }; /// Example 2: specialize a type if the type has a couple of metafunctions defined for it: template<typename T, typename Enable=void> struct is_producer : public boost::false_type {}; // If T has both producer_category_of and producer_type_of specified, it is_producer template<typename T> struct is_producer<T, typename detail::enable_if_defined<detail::all_of< typename producer_category_of<T>::type, typename produced_type_of<T>::type > >::type > : public boost::true_type {}; There is some overlap between the proposed enable_if_defined with the existing enable_if in combination with mpl's HAS_XXX. Advantages of enable_if_defined: * unlike enable_if+HAS_XXX, there is no need to define a separate metafunction for each trait to be tested * enable_if_defined can be used to test any type expression that will work with SFINAE Disadvantages of enable_if_defined: * there is no corresponding disable_if_defined * can't be directly used with MPL - if you need a boolean metafunction corresponding to an enable_if_defined, then you do need to define one. * probably not compatible with as many compilers as enable_if+HAS_XXX Any feedback welcome - if this is not a good approach please tell me why so I can stop using it. Thanks, Stjepan

boost/functional/detail/hash_float.hpp: patch to quiet gcc warning
by Caleb Epstein 15 Aug '07

15 Aug '07

The for loop in float_hash_impl in <boost/functional/detail/hash_float.hpp> generates a warning from gcc when instantiated with T = float. Changing the < to != quiets the warning. Here's the warning: /pkg/boost/include/boost/functional/detail/hash_float.hpp: In function 'size_t boost::hash_detail::float_hash_ impl(T) [with T = float]': /pkg/boost/include/boost/functional/detail/hash_float.hpp:136: instantiated from 'size_t boost::hash_detail: :float_hash_value(T) [with T = float]' /pkg/boost/include/boost/functional/hash/hash.hpp:307: instantiated from here /pkg/boost/include/boost/functional/detail/hash_float.hpp:109: warning: comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always false Here's the patch: diff -ur boost-1.35.0-svn38670/include/boost/functional/detail/hash_fl oat.hpp boost/include/boost/functional/detail/hash_float.hpp --- boost-1.35.0-svn38670/include/boost/functional/detail/hash_float.hpp 2007-08-15 07:52:45.838953000 -0400 +++ boost/include/boost/functional/detail/hash_float.hpp 2007-08-14 12:59:02.358904000 -0400 @@ -106,7 +106,7 @@ boost::static_log2<limits<T>::radix>::value - 1) / limits<std::size_t>::digits; - for(std::size_t i = 0; i < length; ++i) + for(std::size_t i = 0; i != length; ++i) { v = boost::hash_detail::call_ldexp(v, limits<std::size_t>::digits); std::size_t part = static_cast<std::size_t>(v); -- Caleb Epstein

Looking for Time Series reviews
by John Phillips 15 Aug '07

15 Aug '07

To date there have been no reviews of the time series library posted to the developer or user lists. Is this a bad time for a review, or is no one interested enough in this library to put in the time to submit one? If you feel the library isn't interesting or useful enough, please post a note to the list so I can see that opinion. If you are struggling for time to do the review, please post at least a short opinion, and if a few days extension will make a difference we can investigate that possibility. However, the next review begins on August 13, so time for this is somewhat limited. John Phillips Review Manager

Inquiry of standardization status of boost::format
by manphiz 15 Aug '07

15 Aug '07

Due to the limitation of gettext usage with standard iostream, there's a proposal to improve the case in glibmm's string implementation [1], whose goals resemble boost::format very much. There's a thought that if boost::format is going to be standardized, then it's better to adopt the boost syntax and ease switching to standard in the future. So is this happening? How's the status?

spirit bug/change in 1.34
by Christian Holmquist 15 Aug '07

15 Aug '07

Hello, Our own regressions with parsers built on spirit fails with boost 1.34.0(haven't tried 1.34.1 yet). Before 1.34, the following worked. #include <boost/spirit/core.hpp> void main() { using namespace boost::spirit; const char *text = "1 "; assert(parse(text, int_p, space_p).full); } Now, it seems that the trailing space after the '1' in text is not consumed by the space_p, and parse does not return a full parse in parse_info. Is this the intentional behaviour and we should update our rules to take care of any trailing white space? Best regards, Christian

[result_of] void by default
by shunsuke 14 Aug '07

14 Aug '07

Hi, I hope this is the last question about result_of. I want to know the reason why result_of<F()>::type returns void by default instead of an incomplete type like template<typename F> struct error_this_is_not_a_nullary_function; which could make error message more readable. I found the one reason: The function composition. result_of<F(result_of<G()>::type)>::type is always well-formed unless result_of<A_NonNullary_Function()> is specialized for some reason. Was result_of designed with a view to the function composition? Regards, -- Shunsuke Sogame

[time_series] Review
by Steven Watanabe 14 Aug '07

AMDG I still need to think a bit more before I vote but here are all the comments I have so far: In the Series Interface section in the user's guide shouldn't series-type( A0 const &, A2 const &, ... ); be prefaced by template<class A0, class A1, ...> ? "It may seem odd that even the unit series have a value parameter..." Wouldn't it be better to use a traits template to determine what "one" should be and require that this template be specialized? If there is no unambiguous unit value for a type then isn't it a little odd to use a unit series? Discretization | Equivalent To daily | mpl::int_<1> ... These are guaranteed not to be just typedefs I hope? You should state that the runtime discretization compatibility check is an assertion as opposed to throwing an exception. You also need to specify exactly what it means for discretizations to be the same--that the discretizations must be the same type (Otherwise I might be inclined to consider 1l and 1 equal) and that operator== must be defined ( Else I would likely try struct my_discretization {}; typedef sparse_series<double, my_discretization> series_type; ). Shouldn't ordered_inserter use the named parameters start, stop, and value? The promotion rules are complicated is there a metafunction that computes the result types or should I just use Boost.Typeof? Is this specialization missing in traits/conversion.hpp template<typename From, typename To> struct is_storage_convertible<scaled_storage_tag<From>, To> : is_storage_convertible<From, To> {}; serialize should use nvp so that it will work with xml archives. The following fails to compile because serialization is not defined for daily: #include <iostream> #include <boost/time_series/sparse_series.hpp> #include <boost/archive/text_oarchive.hpp> typedef boost::time_series::sparse_series<double, boost::time_series::daily> series_1; int main() { series_1 s1; boost::archive::text_oarchive ar(std::cout); ar << s1; } The comparison operators for time_series_base are defined in time_series_facade. Shouldn't they be in utility/time_series_facade.hpp? time_series_facade line 256: template<typename Left, typename Right> bool operator !=(time_series_base<Left> const &left, time_series_base<Right> const &right) { return ! operator ==(left.cast(), right.cast()); } This rules out a member operator==. Since you're explicitly downcasting and invoking ADL I would expect any definition of operator== to work. time_series_facade.hpp line 280 this->sout_ << " value = " << value << ", " << " offset = " << start << ", " << " end offset = " << stop << '\n'; value shouldn't have a space before it should it? time_series_facade.hpp line 395 template<typename Derived, typename Storage, typename Discretization> struct tag<time_series::time_series_facade<Derived, Storage, Discretization> > { typedef time_series_tag type; }; Should this be typedef tag<Derived>::type type;? numeric/numeric.hpp line 3 /// Defined the mathematical operator s on time series -> /// Defines the mathematical operator's on time series The description of series_stl_iterator in the reference has no direct indication of what kind of iterator it is. Is a time series required to inherit from time_series_base? If it is then this should be specified in the concepts somehow. If not then the reference for time_series_base should not say that it is a base for all time_series. The TimeSeries concepts section lists only dense series as models. Should it list the other time_series's to? The RangeRunStorage concept page has an empty See Also section. This is probably a boostbook issue but there are lots of empty namespaces in the reference section. ordered_inserter.hpp line 205 range_run_storage::set_at(this->inserter_, std::make_pair(offset, endoff), value); should this use run_type instead of std::pair? I strongly dislike ordered_inserter. Its name indicates to me that it adds elements to a time_series--not at all that it deletes all pre-existing elements. I would expect it to overwrite the old elements only where a new element is specified. This program compiles but fails at runtime. It should fail at compile time. #include <boost/time_series/sparse_series.hpp> #include <boost/time_series/ordered_inserter.hpp> using namespace boost::time_series; typedef sparse_series<double, int, double> series_1; int main() { series_1 s1; make_ordered_inserter(s1)(1.0, 0.0, 1.0).commit(); } time_series_facade.hpp line 262 #ifdef _MSC_VER BOOST_MSVC? Other places too. Something somewhere is suppressing "warning C4244: 'initializing' : conversion from 'double' to 'int', possible loss of data" and not restoring it but I'm not sure whether it's in your library yet. My IDE (MSVC 8) keeps freezing--Has anyone else noticed this? (It could be caused by code in trunk, too) I ran a quick test of sparse_series<quantity<SI::length> > and it worked fine. What does discretization mean for floating point offsets? For sparse/dense series with floating point offsets indexing doesn't make sense. Probably it should be made illegal somehow.... I would partly agree with Stjepan about the dichotomy between sparse/dense series and piecewise constant series. As I see it there are three cases a) sparse/dense and floating point b) piecewise constant and floating point c) integral Because of the limits on integers piecewise constant series and point series behave the same way for them. Multiplication makes no sense for point series. Likewise adjacent_difference, integrate, piecewise_sample, piecewise_surface_sample, and index. In Christ, Steven Watanabe

[time_series] Review
by Zach Laine 14 Aug '07

I want to say at the outset that I work with a lot of people that do signal processing, and so that is the main use case my colleagues and I would have for using Boost.TimeSeries. That has definitely colored my view of Boost.TimeSeries, for what that's worth. * What is your evaluation of the design? Why is a series with only one nonzero element called a delta series? I would expect a delta series to be the elementwise differences between two series or some such. In fact, a little Googling revealed many references to delta series that were the differences of two series, but none like delta_series<>. Is this just my ignorance of the financial uses of time series? I'd like to see an overload of the coarse_grain() function allowing the specification of a DownSampler. I have a need for coarse resampling that preserves the largest value in the original set of finer samples, and I'm sure many others would like to use their favorite convolution-of-oversamples technique to move from high to low sample frequency. In fact, the ability to specify the method used when moving up or down in sample frequency should be a first-class feature of the coarse_grain() and fine_grain() functions. The default behavior is a gross simplification for many users' purposes. Please see my note elsewhere on the lack of UpSampler concept docs, making writing a custom one more difficult than it needs to be. The TimeSeries concept docs state that range_run_storage::pre_value( s ) returns "The value associated with the pre_run, if there is one." Does it return TimeSeries< S >::zero_type() otherwise? Is there any way for the user to tell the difference between a return value that happens to be equal to zero_type() and one that was never set? These same questions apply to post_value. I'm not really sure why dense_series<> does not allow floating point offsets. I understand that it is supposed to resemble std::vector. However, there is implicitly a relationship between the indices of the underlying vector and the times represented by the indices. It is possible (and quite convenient) for dense_series<> to hold a discretization_type that represents the start offset, and an interval, and perform the mapping for me. The lack of this mapping means that for dense time series of arbitrary discretization (say 0.5), I have to multiply all my times by 0.5 in user code when using the time series. I feel the library should take care of this for me; the fact that the underlying storage is vector-like should not force me to treat dense_series<> discretizations differently from all other series' discretizations. I find it a little confusing that discretization is both a template parameter and a ctor parameter. It would perhaps be a bit more clear if template-parameter Discretization were DiscretizationType or something. In general, I think that this library would be far more usable if there were more clarification of the relationships among discretization, offsets, and runs/intervals. What I'm getting at here is that the current structure makes it really unclear what DiscretizationType=double, discretization=2.1, offset=3.2 means for a run. Where is the run? At 3.2, or at 2.1 * 3.2? The fact that I have to think about this is probably simply a failure of documentation. Nonetheless, it would be best if it were possible to specify that a sample exists at offset X, where X is double, int, or units::seconds, without worrying about any other details, including discretization. That is, discretization seems useful to me only for regularly-spaced time series, and seems like noise for arbitrarily-spaced time series. In addition, a sample should be representable as a point like 3.14 or a run like [3.14, 4.2). * What is your evaluation of the implementation? I didn't look too closely at the implementation, due to lack of time, but I would like to know why the functors in boost::range_run_storage are const references to singletons in an anonymous namespace. What is that supposed to accomplish that other techniques do not? One of the great things about boost is learning new advanced techniques and discovering best practices for sticky coding situations. Without the why, this technique is lost on me, and probably others. Note that I'm not raising any issue with this implementation choice -- I'm just looking to understand why this was done. * What is your evaluation of the documentation? The docs could use a gentler intro. What I mean by this is that the docs appear to be somewhat inverted. Moving from foundations to things that build upon those foundations, and from the general to the specific would be better. For example, delta_series<> has the following description on the first page of the user manual: "A series which has exactly one run of unit length." I have no precise idea at this point what a run is, and moreover following the link gives a much more comprehensible definition in the reference section: "boost::time_series::delta_series -- A Mutable_TimeSeries that has a distinct value at some unique offset, and zero elsewhere". After reading the Range-Run Abstraction section, I think it would be appropriate to place that before mentions of runs, specific time series models, etc. It was only on the second pass that I fully understood the material presented up front in Series Containers. In general, the documentation is skewed towards financial use, but doesn't need to be -- the library is useful for other purposes as well. For instance, when the predefined resolution types are presented, it seems that these are somehow necessary, or that the lack of a "seconds" or "milliseconds" resolution typedef might be a concern. Further investigation indicates that in fact the Discretization can be virtually any numeric type (is that correct?). Placing these at the beginning of the documentation made several of my signal processing colleagues think this library would only be good for financial users. I suggest a more general emphasis, and a specific subsection that says something like "this was originally written for financial use, and here are some features that facilitate such use ...". For example, here is what I wrote on my first pass through the docs; I realize what the situation is now, but here is how the docs led me astray a bit: "Discretization is only done on days on up. What about seconds, minutes, hours, milliseconds (the one I need) discretization? Are series with different discretizations usable together without explicit user conversion? Also, if mpl::int_<360> is used as a conversion factor for yearly, it's wrong for many users' purposes. If it's an arbitrary number, how about using mpl::int_<0>, mpl::int_<1>, etc., and adding some other time increments?" In period_sums() description in the manual section, "summed" is misspelled "summer". I wanted to figure out whether I could supply my own sampler functor to fine_grain(), but it is unclear from the documentation what an UpSampler template parameter is supposed to look like. Looking at the fine_grain() reference is no help, due to lack of concept documentation. Following the samplers::sampler_base<> link was no help either, since it appears not to be documented other than listing its API. I finally found out what I need to do to write a sampler only by looking at the piecewise_upsample implementation. The coarse_grain() function says that it requires the coarser grain to be a multiple of the finer grain. I assume that should read "integer multiple"; is that right? After finding the above doc issues, I did a quick survey of the functions in the manual's Algorithms section. Most of them appear to have complete concept docs, but there are some deficiencies: Partial concept docs: integrate (missing Series requirements) Low-to-no concept docs: coarse_grain (missing all requirements except that the discretizations need to be integer multiples of one another, but doesn't use the word integer) fine_grain (missing all requirements except that the discretizations need to be integer multiples of one another, but doesn't use the word integer) invert_heaviside (no requirements at all) The rest of the algorithm detailed docs have concept requirements, but it would be much easier to use them if the concepts were links to the relevant concept docs; as it is now, I have to do some bit of searching to find each one listed. This applies generally to all references to concepts throughout the docs -- even in the concepts docs, I find names of concepts that I must then look up by going back to the TOC, since they are not links. The fact that "The only series type that does not support floating-point offsets is dense_series<>" should not just be mentioned in the manual, but also in the Discretization requirements in the dense_series<> reference docs. There appears not to be a rationale section. Even listing the usage cases alluded to in the Acknowledgements section may help illuminate the choices that were made. Specific things I'd like to see in a rationale: - Why was commit() chosen, instead of simpler self-contained insertions? - Why were ordered_inserters chosen instead of more STL-like insertion via iterators and member functions? - Why do ordered_inserters wipe out the previous contents of a time series, instead of appending/inserting? - Why can't elements and/or ranges of elements be removed from or added to an existing time series? - Why is the TimeSeries concept interface split between boost::sequence namespace and boost::range_run_storage namespace accessors? * What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library? I think it is potentially quite useful. However, I think its usefulness is not primarily as a financial time series library, but as I mentioned earlier, its current docs make it sound as if it is mainly only useful for that. In addition, I am forced to ask how a time series library is more useful for signal processing than a std::vector and an extrinsic discretization value. The answer I came up with is that Boost.TimeSeries is really only advantageous when you have arbitrary spacing between elements, or when you want to use two representations of time series in an algorithm. That is, using Boost.TimeSeries' two-series for_each() is almost certainly better than a custom -- and probably complicated -- loop everywhere I need to operate on two time series. However, these cases are relatively rare in signal processing; it is much more common to simply loop over all the samples and do some operation on each element. This can be accomplished just as well with std::for_each or std::transform. The question then becomes, "Does using Boost.TimeSeries introduce clarifying abstractions, or conceptual noise?". The concensus among my colleagues is that the latter is the case. Some specific signal-processing usability concerns: - For many signal processing tasks, the time series used is too large to fit in memory. The solution is usually to use a circular buffer or similar structure to keep around just the part you need at the moment. The Boost.TimeSeries series types seem unable to accommodate this mode of operation. - Two of the most potentially useful bits of Boost.TimeSeries for certain kinds of signal processing are the coarse_grain() and fine_grain(). These do not allow in the case of coarse grain, and make difficult in the case of fine grain, the use of an arbitrary functor to do downsampling/upsampling. - It might be instructive to both the Boost.TimeSeries developers and some of its potential users if certain common signal-processing algorithms were implemented with the library, even if just in the documentation. For example, how might one implement a sliding-window normalizer over densely populated, millisecond resolution data? What if this normalization used more than two time series to do it's work? It may well be possible with the current framework, but a) it's not really clear how to do it based on the documentation and b) the documenation almost seems to have a bias against that kind of processing. If problems like that were looked at by the developers, it may well inform their design by helping them finding new generalizations and so forth. Likewise, if methods for using Boost.TimeSeries to do this kind of work were present in the documentation, the library would have immediate appeal to a whole new range of folks in the scientific computing field. * Did you try to use the library? With what compiler? Did you have any problems? No. * How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A quick reading? In-depth study? In-depth reading of the docs, API, and some of the implementation. I ran out of time to evaluate much code before the review ended. * Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain? Somewhat. I work at a place that does a lot of signal processing using time series, and though I work with these time series from time to time, it's not my core area. * Do you think the library should be accepted as a Boost library? As it stands, no. If there were clearly-defined relationships between samples and their extents and offsets; better support for large and/or piecewise-mutable time series; a rolling-window algorithm; and better customizability of coarse_grain() and fine_grain(), I would probably change my vote.

Re: [boost] [Boost-users] [ScopeExit/Typeof] Can't build simple test in debugmode (MSVC 7.1 and 8.0)
by Christian Larsen 14 Aug '07

14 Aug '07

Hi, I've moved this to the dev list, because it should probably be mentioned in the documentation somewhere. I'm not sure whether it belongs in Typeof or ScopeExit. I've tried building the hello.cpp example that comes with ScopeExit with the same results (as in my original message). I think I have narrowed down the cause. Building fails whenever "Program Database for Edit & Continue (/ZI)" is set in the project properties. Changing this to "Program Database (/Zi)" or any other fixes the problem. Is this a compiler bug? I never use Edit & Continue anyway, but I thought it might be helpful to others to mention this problem somewhere. Best regards, Christian Larsen Christian Larsen wrote: > I'm trying build a very simple test program using ScopeExit (just > downloaded > from the link in the review notice: > http://boost- > consulting.com/vault/index.php?action=downloadfile&filename=sco > pe_exit-0.04.tar.gz&directory=& ).
