Hi, How can I install the lib boost::random to use it within Visual C++ (6) ? Is there a built library to be downloaded somewhere or do I have to build it myself ? JM

std::map(pair) and boost::bind
by Vytautas Leonavicius 30 Jul '04

30 Jul '04

I am often facing the same thing again and again. Say I have a map: map< int, Foo* > m; and I would like to invoke method of Foo on all instances std::for_each(m.begin(), m.end(), boost::bind(&Foo::method, _1 ); The problem is that map contains pair of key and value, not Foo*. Usually I create some function taking pair and invoking method needed on .second. But maybe there is another way to do that? Thanks! Vytautas

I am compiling now with Boost.Build. I have run into another issue that I will be posting on the bjam list (thank you for pointing me to that), but life is definitely nicer. Boost is awesome all by itself, but without the support of the community for those of us getting our heads around these things, boost would not be able to grab more users.

boost lambda
by Mattias Brändström 29 Jul '04

29 Jul '04

Hello! I am new to the boost lambda library so this might be a naive question. Here goes. This is what I want to do: class Foo { public: int bar() { return 42; } }; int main() { std::vector<Foo> v; v.push_back(Foo()); count_if(v.begin(), v.end(), boost::bind(&Foo::bar, _1) == 42); return 0; } However, I get a comilation error when trying to compile this with g++ version 3.3.2: test.cpp: In function `int main()': test.cpp:17: error: no match for 'operator==' in '`empty_class_expr' not test.cpp:17: sorry, unimplemented: supported by dump_expr test.cpp:17: sorry, unimplemented: boost::bind(R (T::*)(), A1) [with R = int, T = Foo, A1 = boost::arg<1>]((<unnamed>::_1, <expression error>)) == 42' To me it seems that this is something that I should be able to do with the BLL. If someone could point me in the right direction here I would be really greatful! Thanks in advance! Regards, Mattias

Re: [Boost-users] Running boost::thread compiled on w2k on XP

Hi > Is it impossible to compile the boost libraries on > windows 2000 and then expect the created dll:s to work on windows XP? No. It is not impossible. We have done exactly that without any problem at all. We didn't have to do anything special either. We used VC7.1 on Windows 2000, just as you are. I know that's not much practiacl help, but at least you now know it can be done.

Running boost::thread compiled on w2k on XP
by Ragnar Ouchterlony 29 Jul '04

29 Jul '04

I have tried compiled boost::thread for windows using visual c++ from the visual studio .net 2003 suite. It compiles fine and I can compile things with the created libraries. However, when I move my program and the boost::thread dll:s from windows 2000 to another machine running windows XP, the program just prints out a blank line and exits without any other message. Attached is a program I have used to test out that it is this that is wrong. What have I done wrong? Is it impossible to compile the boost libraries on windows 2000 and then expect the created dll:s to work on windows XP? If this is the case, where can I get hold of the boost::thread libraries for vc71 compiled specifically for windows XP? If not, what could be wrong? /Ragnar Ouchterlony

uBLAS syntax issues
by Nicholas Andrews 29 Jul '04

29 Jul '04

Here's the formula I want to reproduce in uBLAS: K=P*Mt*(M*P*Mt+R)^-1 Where K, P, M, and R are matrices, and Mt is the transpose of M. I have written the following function: void multi_state_kf::compute_gain(const matrix<double>& dev) { matrix<double> temp=prod(M,newP); matrix<double> transM=trans(M); matrix<double> A=(prod(temp,transM)+dev); permutation_matrix<size_t> pm(A.size2()); lu_factorize(A, pm); matrix<double> el = prod(newP,transM); lu_substitute(A, pm, el); K=el; } This function was completely hacked together as I'm new to uBLAS (and rusty with linear algebra), but it got rid of most of my compile errors. Now only a few remain but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'm hoping that it will be obvious to someone here. Thanks for your help, Nick

Assign and MultiArray conflict with precompiled headers
by Bruno Martínez Aguerre 28 Jul '04

28 Jul '04

Hi. I'm trying out the recently accepted Assign library, and also the MultiArray library, which is new to me. I'm in VC7.1, and using the post review version of Assign. Depending on the order I include the libraries in my precompiled header, the linker complains about double definition of MultiArray's extents object. Here are the files that reproduce the problem. //stdafx.h #pragma once #include "boost/multi_array.hpp" #include "boost/assign.hpp" //main.cpp #include "stdafx.h" int main() { boost::multi_array<int, 2> t(boost::extents[3][4]); } I couldn't find relation between the two libraries. Thanks in advance, Bruno Martínez

Date Time lib and time_t
by Matt Schuckmann 28 Jul '04

28 Jul '04

Has anybody ever implimented a to_time_t function/method for the ptime class to create a time_t from a ptime. I tried doing it similar to the way from_time_t does it but I'm not getting the right answer. It's nice that you can convert from a time_t for use with legacy code but sometimes you need to go back the other way. Herer is my to_time_t function that does not appear to be working inline std::time_t to_time_t(ptime t) { if( t == neg_infin ) return 0; else if( t == pos_infin ) return LONG_MAX; ptime start(gregorian::date(1970,1,1),time_duration(0,0,0)); return (t-start).total_seconds(); } Thanks,
