Iteratiing on regex results with pointer-to-member-function
by Alain Leblanc 04 Jul '07

04 Jul '07

Hi, I wrote some code where I want to iterate on the result of a regex matching and call a member function for each match. It goes roughly like this: ====================================================================== class XX { typedef bool (XX::*FuncPtr)(const boost::match_results<std::string::const_iterator>& what); FuncPtr funcPtr; }; bool XX::regex_callback(const boost::match_results<std::string::const_iterator>& what) { return true; } void XX::addDelayedVariables(string expr) { funcPtr = &XX::regex_callback; regex re("([[:alpha::]][[:alnum]]+)(\[[^\\]]+])"); sregex_iterator m1(expr.begin(), expr.end(), re); sregex_iterator m2; match_results<string::const_iterator> results; (*) bool a = (this->*funcPtr)(results); (*) for_each(m1, m2, (this->*funcPtr)); (#) } =========================================================================== When compiling (gcc 4.1 on FC 6) I get an error message at (#) that says: invalid use of non-static member function I added the two lines with a (*) as a sanity check to see that I declared the pointer-to-member-function correctly, and I have no problem compiling those. So my question is: is this a problem with me not understanding how to handle pointer-to-member-functions in C++, or is there something with the boost libraries that I'm missing or is preventing me from performing this operation? I would appreciate any help or opinion. thanks, Alain

[signal] How to disconnect?
by Boris 04 Jul '07

04 Jul '07

void Hello() { } boost::signal<void ()> sig; sig.connect(&Hello); // OK sig.disconnect(&Hello); // Error Can anyone tell me how I disconnect the callback function Hello? I can see in the documentation that I can call disconnect with a group_type and with a slot_type but not with a slot_function_type. I'm surprised to run into such a problem as from the point of view of a library user it can't get much easier than that? Boris PS: This is with Boost 1.33.1.

problems building Boost.Python with cygwin
by Knox, Matt 02 Jul '07

02 Jul '07

Hello all, I am trying to install the Boost.Python library (and then compile C++ python extensions after that) using cygwin and am not having much luck. I know I have the main part of boost working because I was able to compile and run the basic example for testing the boost configuration. Then to install Boost.Python I did the following: $ ./configure -with-libraries=python This generates the following output: Building Boost.Jam with toolset gcc... tools/jam/src/bin.cygwinx86/bjam Detecting Python version... 2.5 Detecting Python root... c:\Python25 Unicode/ICU support for Boost.Regex?... not found. Backing up existing Boost.Build configuration in user-config.jam.2 Generating Boost.Build configuration in user-config.jam... Generating Makefile... I then type "make install", which generates the following output: ./tools/jam/src/bin.cygwinx86/bjam --user-config=user-config.jam --prefix=/usr/local --exec-prefix= /usr/local --libdir=/usr/local/lib --includedir=/usr/local/include --with-python install WARNING: No python installation configured and autoconfiguration failed. See http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/building.html for configuration instructions or pass --without-python to suppress this message and silently skip all Boost.Python targets warning: Python location is not configured warning: the Boost.Python library won't be built warning: Unable to construct ./install-unversioned warning: Unable to construct ./install-unversioned warning: Unable to construct ./install-unversioned warning: Unable to construct ./install-unversioned warning: Unable to construct ./install-unversioned warning: Unable to construct ./install-unversioned warning: Unable to construct ./install-unversioned warning: Unable to construct ./install-unversioned ...found 7812 targets... Those warnings look rather problematic. And indeed, when I try to compile the basic example (/boost_1_34_0/libs/python/example/tutorial) by typing "bjam target-os=cygwin toolset=gcc", I get the following errors: Jamroot:17: in modules.load rule python-extension unknown in module Jamfile</cygdrive/p/c_libs/boost_1_34_0/libs/python/example/ tutorial>. /cygdrive/p/c_libs/boost_1_34_0/tools/build/v2/build/project.jam:312: in load-jamfile /cygdrive/p/c_libs/boost_1_34_0/tools/build/v2/build/project.jam:68: in load /cygdrive/p/c_libs/boost_1_34_0/tools/build/v2/build/project.jam:170: in project.find /cygdrive/p/c_libs/boost_1_34_0/tools/build/v2/build-system.jam:237: in load /cygdrive/p/c_libs/boost_1_34_0/libs/python/example/../../../tools/build /v2/kernel/modules.jam:261: in import /cygdrive/p/c_libs/boost_1_34_0/libs/python/example/../../../tools/build /v2/kernel/bootstrap.jam:132 : in boost-build /cygdrive/p/c_libs/boost_1_34_0/libs/python/example/boost-build.jam:7: in module scope Any ideas?

[iterator_adaptor] typedef problem
by Mark Ruzon 01 Jul '07

01 Jul '07

In the private part of my own iterator adaptor called skip_iterator, I would like to write the following: private: typedef typename skip_iterator::iterator_adaptor_::difference_type difference_type; void advance(difference_type n); difference_type distance_to(const skip_iterator& x) const; because it looks nice. What I get from gcc 3.4.6 is strange: skip_iterator.hpp:22: error: `typedef ptrdiff_t skip_iterator<__gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<float*, std::vector<float, std::allocator<float> > > >::difference_type' is private /usr/include/c++/boost_1_33_1/boost/iterator/iterator_facade.hpp:868: error: within this context However, if I forgo the typedef and write uglier code: private: void advance(typename skip_iterator::iterator_adaptor_::difference_type n); typename skip_iterator::iterator_adaptor_::difference_type distance_to(const skip_iterator& x) const; then it compiles and works fine. What is the issue with my typedef? Thanks, Mark

[Boost.Graph] Profiling using the graph library
by Ewgenij Sokolovski 30 Jun '07

30 Jun '07

Hello, I use the boost graph library (Version 1.33.1 of Boost) for my programming task. I wanted to profile my program with gprof. I compilated the source code with the -pg option and linked it also with that option. Now I'm examining the output file of gprof. Some functions of boost graph library are not explicitly listed there althogh I use them. These functions are: vertices() add_edge() What I see instead are some complicated functions. I have copied them here from my gprof-Output. But where are vertices() and add_edge()? Or are they meant by these complicated functions.

Re: [Boost-users] [Boost.MathToolKit] Compilation problem w/ VC++7.1

Hello John, Yes, I've tried to compile w/ the right header version of math-toolkit. Just to be sure and to confirm the problem: Right now I'm using Boost 1.33.1. Do you confirm that math-toolkit can operate only w/ Boost 1.34? If yes, sorry for the noise. By the way, do you plan to adapt your headers for Boost 1.33.1?

[Boost.Graph] Visitors - dummy functions
by Ewgenij Sokolovski 30 Jun '07

30 Jun '07

Hello! I want to implement a visitor for the dijkstra_shortest_paths (...) algorithm. The visitor interface requires several methods which should be provided in each visitor object. But I need only one of these functions. So I considered to implement the others as empty functions like: void function(...) { } The problem now is, that as I apparently don't use the parameters, given to the function, inside of its body, the compiler prints out warnings about unused parameters. Is there a possibility to avoid this annoying thing? Except of disabling the warnings of the compiler in general. Regards Ewgenij -- Psssst! Schon vom neuen GMX MultiMessenger gehört?

boost_regex with/without BOOST_REGEX_MATCH_EXTRA on same machine?
by Markus Grabner 30 Jun '07

30 Jun '07

Hi! For an application I'm writing, I need the match_results::captures feature, which requires to recompile boost with BOOST_REGEX_MATCH_EXTRA. I did so and globally installed the modified boost-1.33.1 on my machine. However, several utilities installed on my machine that came with my Linux distribution (openSUSE-10.2) don't work with the modified library (including the yast2 package manager, which made it somewhat challenging to re-install the original version). So I have two questions: *) What is the recommended installation if applications requiring BOOST_REGEX_MATCH_EXTRA must be installed on the same machine together with applications that don't require this extension? *) Are there any chances that future versions of the boost_regex library will remove this compile-time distinction? Are the few extra bytes for the (unused) m_captures member in sub_match really such a big problem?

[Test] Testing generated code.
by Michael Marcin 30 Jun '07

30 Jun '07

I have written type safe wrappers around some math operations that I need to use everywhere and I expect and rely on them being equivalent to the handcoded or macro based approach for performance reasons. I tend to check the resulting assembly by hand every so often and it surprises me from time to time to see that inefficiencies have crept in. If I write a routine in C and a routine using the type safe wrappers that I expect to have equivalent generated assembly is there a way to test that this is indeed the case? Can anyone else think of a better way to make sure that register usage is optimal, proper inlining is occurring, etc? Thanks, Michael Marcin
