debugging link errors
by Dave Compton 27 Apr '06

27 Apr '06

Is there a way to get bjam to display the actual compile/link commands that it uses to build the boost libraries as it builds them? I'm seeing some link failures and it would make it easier to figure out what is going on if I could see the link command. Thanks. - Dave

any and Map.
by Joe McCay 27 Apr '06

27 Apr '06

I keep getting a bad_any_cast exception when I retrieve data from a map. Basically: class DataType { //protected: public: boost::any value_; DataType(){}; template <class type> DataType(type& value) : value_(value) {}; template <class type> DataType(const type& value) : value_(value) {}; // Provide constant & non constant version of operator = template <class type> type& operator=(type &rhs) { value_=rhs; return rhs; }; template <typename type> const type& operator= (const type& rhs) { value_=rhs; return rhs; }; } map <std::string, DataType> m; DataType dt; dt=3.5; m["Data 1"] = dt; DataType dt = fieldData["Data 1"]; fValue = boost::any_cast<float>(dt.value_); //returns a bad_any_cast What am I doing wrong?

[program_options] making options mandatory
by Luke Elliott 26 Apr '06

26 Apr '06

Hi Is it possible to make options mandatory in program_options? I see some references to such functionality in various review emails, but I can't find anything in the docs themselves. Somewhat related: I actually want the mandatory options to be positional options. I there's an exception class too_few_positional_options_error but it doesn't appear to be used at all (too_many_positional_options_error is). The solution I have at the moment is to have a separate options_description for mandatory options and then to check for count() != 0 for those options after parsing... Thanks in advance Luke Elliott.

[BGL] push_relabel_max_flow
by André Loose 26 Apr '06

26 Apr '06

Hello, I tried to rewrite the example for push relable max flow on http://www.boost.org/libs/graph/doc/push_relabel_max_flow.html, it currently looks like this: #include <boost/config.hpp> #include <iostream> #include <string> #include <utility> #include <boost/graph/push_relabel_max_flow.hpp> #include <boost/graph/adjacency_list.hpp> #include <boost/graph/graph_utility.hpp> #include <boost/property_map.hpp> using namespace boost; typedef adjacency_list_traits<vecS, vecS, directedS> Traits; struct Vertex { std::size_t index; boost::default_color_type color; }; struct Edge { long capacity_0K; long capacity; long residual_capacity; Traits::vertex_descriptor edge_reverse; }; int main(int , char* []) { typedef adjacency_list<vecS, vecS, directedS, Edge, Vertex> Graph; Graph g; Traits::vertex_descriptor s, t; long flow; flow=push_relabel_max_flow(g, s, t, get(&Edge::capacity,g), get(&Edge::residual_capacity,g), get(&Edge::edge_reverse,g), get(&Vertex::index, g)); return 0; } It does not compile (the IDE jumps to line 681 in push_relabel_max_flow.hpp), and I do not see from the code examples that are availiable on the internet what exactly should be done differently and why. Sadly bundled properties are seldom used in availiable examples, although the documentation encourages their use. Thank you!

bjam crashes when trying to compile boost with Visual Studio 2003

Hi, I'm completely new to boost. I tried to compile version 1.33.1 under Windows using Visual Studio 2003 but bjam crashed. What am I doing wrong?

Hi, Is there an example of using a shmem::map? I'm getting: C:\boost_1_33_1\boost\shmem\sync\win32\win32_sync_primitives.hpp(155) : error C2668: 'boost::shmem::GetSystemTimeAsFileTime' : ambiguous call to overloaded function C:\boost_1_33_1\boost\shmem\sync\win32\win32_sync_primitives.hpp(105): could be 'void boost::shmem::GetSystemTimeAsFileTime(_FILETIME *)' C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\PlatformSDK\Include\WinBase.h(3678): or 'void GetSystemTimeAsFileTime(LPFILETIME)' [found using argument-dependent lookup] while trying to match the argument list '(_FILETIME *)' C:\boost_1_33_1\boost\shmem\sync\win32\win32_sync_primitives.hpp(215) : error C2668: 'boost::shmem::GetSystemInfo' : ambiguous call to overloaded function C:\boost_1_33_1\boost\shmem\sync\win32\win32_sync_primitives.hpp(117): could be 'void boost::shmem::GetSystemInfo(_SYSTEM_INFO *)' C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\PlatformSDK\Include\WinBase.h(3706): or 'void GetSystemInfo(LPSYSTEM_INFO)' [found using argument-dependent lookup] while trying to match the argument list '(_SYSTEM_INFO *)' when i try to compile boost::shmem::map<long,PHRunningData,boost::shmem::allocator<std::pair<long,PHRunningData>, boost::shmem::named_shared_object::segment_manager> > *_rp; is this an error in the library?

Boost linking errors
by Richard 26 Apr '06

26 Apr '06

Hi, I'm trying to use Signals/Slots in my xcode project and I'm running into the following linking errors on XCode 2.2 multiple definition of (anonymous namespace)::_1 in section (__DATA,__common) I'm getting this for _1 -> _9 and I can't figure out what is going on, anyone have any ideas? I'm using the latest version of boost I got using Darwin Ports on OS X 10.4 (version 1.33.1 I think) Thanks, --Richard

adjacency_list directed to undirected conversion
by Sean Kelly 26 Apr '06

26 Apr '06

Hi All, I have a directed adjacency_list graph for which I would like to identify connected components (ignoring the directed-ness). After poking around the BGL docs it seems that my best option is to role my own algo or build a edge_list graph from the original graph and run connected_components. Basically I want to identify disjoint subgraphs starting with a directed graph. Any advice is appreciated. thanks Sean

Is there anything in boost (or elsewhere) similar to Java's BigInteger? Thanks, Noel
