internal property map - invalid key
by David Ohlemacher 12 Jul '05

12 Jul '05

Hi all, According to the docs <http://www.boost.org/libs/property_map/property_map.html>, "Invoking a property map function on an /invalid/ key results in undefined behavior." True enough; memory is corrupted. How do I prevent this if I am not sure my key is valid. Do I have to keep a list of valid keys separately from my property map? Thanks, -d #include <iostream> #include <map> #include <string> #include <boost/property_map.hpp> template <typename AddressMap> void foo(AddressMap address) { typedef typename boost::property_traits<AddressMap>::value_type value_type; typedef typename boost::property_traits<AddressMap>::key_type key_type; value_type old_address, new_address; key_type fred = "Fred"; old_address = get(address, fred); new_address = "384 Fitzpatrick Street"; put(address, fred, new_address); key_type joe = "Joe"; value_type& joes_address = address[joe]; joes_address = "325 Cushing Avenue"; } int main() { std::map<std::string, std::string> name2address; boost::associative_property_map< std::map<std::string, std::string> > address_map(name2address); name2address.insert(make_pair(std::string("Fred"), std::string("710 West 13th Street"))); name2address.insert(make_pair(std::string("Joe"), std::string("710 West 13th Street"))); foo(address_map); for (std::map<std::string, std::string>::iterator i = name2address.begin(); i != name2address.end(); ++i) std::cout << i->first << ": " << i->second << "\n"; return EXIT_SUCCESS; }

String Tokenizer question
by J Liu 12 Jul '05

12 Jul '05

I am using boost 1.31 Tokenizer. The question I have is Can boost tokenizer change the predicates on the fly? For example: string s = "my birthday is 1976, 15/17"; boost::tokenizer<> tok(s); boost::tokenizer<>::iterator beg=tok.begin(); // here *beg will give us "my" typedef boost::tokenizer<boost::char_separator<char> > Boost_char_tokenizer; boost::char_separator<char> sep(",/"); Boost_char_tokenizer next(s, sep); Boost_char_tokenizer::iterator tok_iter = next.begin(); for(; tok_iter!=next.end(); ++tok_iter){ std::cout << *tok_iter << std::endl; } // this will give us "my birthday is 1976", "15" and "17" But what I want to get is "my", "birthday is 1976", "15" and "17". In other words, I want the tokenizer either can give us the remaining of the string or can change the delimiters dynamically. Is there a way to do this? Thanks for any help.

You need to use two tokenizers, just like in the example you provided. The only thing you need to do differently is retrieve an iterator to the current position in the input string after the first tokenizer iterator (beg) has been dereferenced, and pass the iterator range [current,end) to the constructor of the tokenizer next rather than the whole string (s). You can retrieve the current iterator from a token_iterator by calling the iterator's member function base(). Here's your example again, modified to do just that: std::string s = "my birthday is 1976, 15/17"; boost::tokenizer<> tok(s); boost::tokenizer<>::iterator beg=tok.begin(); // here *beg will give us "my" typedef boost::tokenizer<boost::char_separator<char> > Boost_char_tokenizer; boost::char_separator<char> sep(",/"); Boost_char_tokenizer next(beg.base(),s.end(), sep); Boost_char_tokenizer::iterator tok_iter = next.begin(); for(; tok_iter!=next.end(); ++tok_iter){ std::cout << *tok_iter << std::endl; } // this will give us " birthday is 1976", " 15" and "17" Note that the only difference in this version is the construction of next: Boost_char_tokenizer next(beg.base(),s.end(), sep); Bjorn

How to serialize a derived class object with base class pointer?
by Yan Zhang 11 Jul '05

11 Jul '05

Hi, I'm trying to serialize an object of derived class with a base class pointer, somehow only base class's serialization member function got called. Here is the code (simplified): class CMyCls1 { public: CMyCls1() : m(10) {} ~CMyCls1() {} private: friend class boost::serialization::access; template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive &ar, const unsigned int version) { ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(m); } int m; }; class CMyCls2 : public CMyCls1 { public: CMyCls2() : x(1.5) {} ~CMyCls2() {} private: friend class boost::serialization::access; template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive &ar, const unsigned int version) { ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_BASE_OBJECT_NVP(CMyCls1); ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(x); } double x; }; void main () { CMyCls1 *pmycls = new CMyCls2; ... oa.register_type(static_cast<CMyCls1 *>(NULL)); oa.register_type(static_cast<CMyCls2 *>(NULL)); oa << BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(pmycls); ... } Look at the archive file, only base class data is serialized. Actuall, CMyCls2::serialization() is not called at all. How do you serialize a derived class object with a pointer of base class? Thanks, Yan

Problem with Graphviz (read) and subgraphs
by odisseo＠despammed.com 11 Jul '05

11 Jul '05

Can you help me writing a simple function that iterates on all subgraphs in the .dot file and print out the 1. subgraph name 2. for each edge source label / edge label / target label ? I've tryed with this but didn't work: [...] boost::GraphvizDigraph g; boost::read_graphviz(efsmfile, g); [...] boost::GraphvizDigraph::children_iterator subgraph_index, subgraph_end; for (boost::tie(subgraph_index, subgraph_end) = g.children(); subgraph_index != subgraph_end; subgraph_index++) { cout << get_graph_name(*subgraph_index) << endl; } const string& EFSM::get_graph_name(const Graph& g) { const typename boost::graph_property<Graph, boost::graph_name_t>::type& name = boost::get_property(g, boost::graph_name); return name; }

[variant] not copy-constructable
by Felipe Magno de Almeida 11 Jul '05

11 Jul '05

How can I work this out? I've tried with auto_ptr<object> but its copy-constructor is explicit and didnt worked anyway. (MSVC71). What I wanted is a vector of variant<object1, object2> and I dont want object1 and object2 to be copied because it is expensive. But Im not figuring out how to do this... tried boost::ref either with no success... :/ Any information is appreciated, thanks in advance, Felipe. -- Felipe Magno de Almeida Developer from synergy and Computer Science student from State University of Campinas(UNICAMP).
