boost::shared_ptr and stl algorithms
by Bill Eidson 15 Apr '05

std::vector< boost::shared_ptr<T> > TVec; I want to write a function object to run std::for_each. to do somework against members of T and accumulate results in functor. My attempts have failed in VC7 with memory errors in my operator() method. struct fo { bool operator()( boost::shared_ptr<T>& t ) { return true; } }; Thanks in advance bille

bug report: boost::tokenizer with VC6
by Navi Singh 09 Feb '03

09 Feb '03

The boost release 1.28.0 of the tokenizer library has the following problem: There are 5 examples, namely, simple_example_1.cpp thru simple_example_5.cpp If I change the main() in each of the 5 to to main1() thru main5() and return 0; the vc60 compiler generates an internal compiler error when parsing the file boost\iterator_adapters.hpp on line 869, where it is parsing the following lines: reference operator*() const { return policies().dereference(*this); }

Q: Graphs. Sorting edges. Possible? How to?
by stas_fomin 07 Nov '02

07 Nov '02

Hello. I a newbie in BGL and I rewrite my LEDA code now... I have to sort (order) edges according to some functor. For example (simplified): typedef adjacency_list<vecS, vecS, bidirectionalS> MyGraph; typedef graph_traits < MyGraph >::edge_descriptor MyGraphEdge; typedef graph_traits < MyGraph >::edge_iterator MyEdgeIter; class MyCompareEdges{ public: bool operator()(MyGraphEdge e1, MyGraphEdge e2) const { return true; } }; .... { MyGraph Gr(10); MyEdgeIter ei_beg, ei_end; MyCompareEdges comp; tie(ei_beg, ei_end) = edges(Gr); std::sort(ei_beg, ei_end, comp); //Error C2676 } And I have error C2676 (below the message...). Questions: 1. Is it possible to sort edges in the graph? 2. How to... Thanks all in advance... Stas Fomin. P.S. vecS, setS, listS for edge container... - C2676. ------------------------------ d:\projects\lib\cpp_libs\libboost\boost\iterator_adaptors.hpp(264) : error C2676: binary '+=' : 'class std::list<struct boost::list_edge<unsigned int,struct boost::no_property>,class std::allocator<struct boost::list_edge<unsigned int,struct boost:: no_property> > >::iterator' does not define this operator or a conversion to a type acceptable to the predefined operator d:\projects\lib\cpp_libs\libboost\boost\iterator_adaptors.hpp (911) : see reference to function template instantiation 'void __thiscall boost::default_iterator_policies::advance(struct boost::iterator_adaptor<class std::list<struct boost::lis t_edge<unsigned int,struct boost::no_property>,class std::allocator<struct boost::list_edge<unsigned int,struct boost::no_property> > >::iterator,struct boost::detail::undirected_edge_iter_policies,class boost::detail::edge_desc_impl<struct boost::b idirectional_tag,unsigned int>,class boost::detail::edge_desc_impl<struct boost::bidirectional_tag,unsigned int>,class boost::detail::edge_desc_impl<struct boost::bidirectional_tag,unsigned int> *,struct boost::multi_pass_input_iterator_tag,int> &,i nt)' being compiled Error executing cl.exe.

[BGL] Problem with kevin-bacon sample
by Nicolas Guilhot 14 Sep '02

14 Sep '02

Hi all, I compiled the kevin-bacon sample on a linux box without any problem, but when I try to run the program, I obtain an error output instead of what is expected. Any help would be appreciated. Here is the output off the program : kevin-bacon: /boost_1_27_0/boost/token_iterator.hpp:75: void boost::detail::tokenizer_policy<Type, TokenizerFunc>::increment (Iterator &) [with Iterator = boost::iterator_adaptor<boost::detail::token_iterator_base<const char *>, boost::detail::tokenizer_policy<basic_string<char, string_char_traits<char>, __default_alloc_template<true, 0> >, boost::char_delimiters_separator<char, string_char_traits<char> > >, basic_string<char, string_char_traits<char>, __default_alloc_template<true, 0> >, const basic_string<char, string_char_traits<char>, __default_alloc_template<true, 0> > &, const basic_string<char, string_char_traits<char>, __default_alloc_template<true, 0> > *, forward_iterator_tag, ptrdiff_t>, Type = basic_string<char, string_char_traits<char>, __default_alloc_template<true, 0> >, TokenizerFunc = boost::char_delimiters_separator<char, string_char_traits<char> >]: Assertion `b.base().valid_' failed. Abandon Thanks for any answer. Nicolas

regex performance
by Paul Dubuc 17 Aug '02

17 Aug '02

I'm doing some performance comparisons between Rogue Wave's Regexp class (http://www.roguewave.com/support/docs/tlsref/rwcregexp.cfm) and boost::regex using simple expressions like "^metal.*" and "[0-9]+" with regex_search(). regex is slower by a factor of 6, measuring cpu time (on a SunBlade 100 runing Solaris 8). Is there anything I can do to speed it up? I tried using different values of boost::regbase::flag_type_ to adjust how the regular expressions are interpreted, but with little effect. Any other ideas? (I'm using boost_1_27_0.) Thanks, -- Paul M. Dubuc

RegEx++ and Visual Studio .NET STL Problems
by john_p_osborn 09 Jul '02

09 Jul '02

When I upgraded to Visual Studio .NET my programs that use regex++ stopped working. Many simple calls fail during string destruction with bad heap pointers. I never had any problems under msvc version 6. Has anyone else experienced this? Is a problem with the new MS STL?

Building on AIX?

Am new to boost, trying to build on AIX. Here is what I get: $ l total 96 -rw-r--r-- 1 jsn mup 1461 Feb 7 10:33 Jamfile -rw-r--r-- 1 jsn mup 91700 Feb 7 10:33 threads.mcp $ pwd /usr/local/src/boost_1_27_0/libs/thread/build $ uname -a AIX io 3 4 00028AAF4C00 $ set | grep BOOST BOOST_ROOT=/usr/local/src/boost_1_27_0 $ jam +: line 1304: yacc stack overflow at keyword } don't know how to make all ...found 1 target... ...can't find 1 target... $ Are there other args I need to give to jam? Read the build instructions, it seemed ambiguous about AIX support. Thanks for any tips, Scott Nesbitt

regex with double byte character sets
by bthiesfield 03 Jul '02

03 Jul '02

Hi all, I am currently trying to use the boost regex library with Japanese language strings. It appears like DBCS is not supported. For example, using the following code (with compile definition of BOOST_REGEX_USE_C_LOCALE) I get the output strings as 0 = "。" 1 = "English" Instead of the expected: 0 = "やゆよわをー。" 1 = "English" This is due to the fact that the Japanese (SJIS encoding) for one of these characters uses the [ character as one of the characters in the encoding. setlocale( LC_COLLATE, "Japanese" ); setlocale( LC_CTYPE, "Japanese" ); char * pszText = "やゆよわをー。 [english]", char * pszRule ="([^\\[]*)\\[([[:word:]]*)\\]"; // split the string into it's components std::vector<std::string> vPart; boost::regex eParseExpr( pszRule, boost::regbase::normal | boost::regbase::icase ); boost::regex_split( std::back_inserter(vPart), std::string(pszText), eParseExpr ); Is there some what to modify the library to enable DBCS? For example, can the char_traits be modified to enable DBCS processing? (Keeping in mind that the biggest problem with DBCS is that a single character may consist of 2 bytes which tends to blow out all assumptions about the size of characters). Brodie.

RE: [Boost-Users] Regex boost_1_28_0 incorrect build / run-time problem
by Eric Reaburn 02 Jul '02

02 Jul '02

This looks like a similar problem I had. I'm also using C++ Builder 5 with patch 1. I was using regex from Boost 1.25.0 but when I upgraded to 1.28.0 I got run-time errors (specifically bad_alloc). I had no problems compiling and running the test and example programs. Eventually I discovered that I had to uncomment the following two macros (in user.hpp in boost/regex) and recompile the regex libraries: // define this if no template instances are to be placed in // the library rather than users object files: #define BOOST_REGEX_NO_EXTERNAL_TEMPLATES // define this if the forward declarations in regex_fwd.hpp // cause more problems than they are worth: #define BOOST_REGEX_NO_FWD Now everything's just dandy! -----Original Message----- From: David Beres [mailto:dberes@advpubtech.com] Sent: Friday, 21 June 2002 9:02 AM To: Boost-Users(a)yahoogroups.com Cc: John Maddock Subject: [Boost-Users] Regex boost_1_28_0 incorrect build / run-time problem Hello, I am new to Boost since version 1.27. I apparently have a problem building Regex from Boost 1.28 as I encounter a runtime error that causes all the examples to hang. I was successfully able to run all of the Regex examples except 'partial match' under boost 1.27 using Borland BCB5 patch 1. My procedure for building Regex for both versions 1.27 and 1.28 was to run Make.exe -fbcb5.mak install clean The dlls and libs are then correctly placed in the Builder 5 root directory, and the examples build OK. However, whereas they ran successfully for Boost 1.27, they do not run under Boost 1.28. I also tried BJam, but the problem remains. If possible, please let me know what was my mistake in building the libs.
