boost lib error
by Jack Bryan 13 Jun '10

13 Jun '10

Hi, all: I need to install boost library (/home/myname/boost_2010_6_8/boost_1_43_0). http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/more/getting_started/index.html It has MPI library : http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/doc/html/mpi.html After installingit, I compile some c++ program with calling for boost.MPI class, the compiler cannot find the header files in the program even though I have included the boost path in the compile command. example: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ #include </boost/mpi/environment.hpp> #include <boost/mpi/communicator.hpp> #include <iostream> namespace mpi = boost::mpi; int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { mpi::environment env(argc, argv); mpi::communicator world; std::cout << "I am process " << world.rank() << " of " << world.size() << "." << std::endl; return 0; } -------------------------------------------------------------------------- mpic++ -o testp2p test_p2p.cpp I/home/myname/boost_2010_6_8/boost_1_43_0 g++: I/home/myname/boost_2010_6_8/boost_1_43_0: No such file or directory test_p2p.cpp:7:38: error: /boost/mpi/environment.hpp: No such file or directory test_p2p.cpp:11:38: error: boost/mpi/communicator.hpp: No such file or directory Actually, I have installed these header files in the directory. I find a possible reason: When I built the package, it tells me that : ----------------------------------------------------------------- -bash-3.2$ ./bjam Building the Boost C++ Libraries. warning: Building Boost.Regex with the optional Unicode/ICU support disabled. note: Please refer to the Boost.Regex documentation for more information note: this is a strictly optional feature. warning: Graph library does not contain MPI-based parallel components. note: to enable them, add "using mpi ;" to your user-config.jam warning: skipping optional Message Passing Interface (MPI) library. note: to enable MPI support, add "using mpi ;" to user-config.jam. note: to suppress this message, pass "--without-mpi" to bjam. note: otherwise, you can safely ignore this message.

The Boost C++ Libraries were successfully built! The following directory should be added to compiler include paths: /lustre/jxding/boost_2010_6_8/boost_1_43_0 The following directory should be added to linker library paths: /lustre/jxding/boost_2010_6_8/boost_1_43_0/stage/lib ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ It seems that I need to specify I need to use mpi for the bjam builder. But, I have added "using mpi ;" and "using mpi : /opt/openmpi-gnu/bin/mpic++ ;" in the file /home/myname/boost_2010_6_8/boost_1_43_0/user-config.jam. I have also added it in the file /home/myname/boost_2010_6_8/boost_1_43_0/tools/build/v2/user-config.jam. But, I still got the same error. It seems that there is something wrong with the package ? or the compiler cannot understand the "using mpi ;" in the user-config.jam ? Any help is appreciated.

Boost.Test XML Output formatter generates Invalid XML file.
by Gaurav N Shah 13 Jun '10

Hi, I have written my own struct to customize logging from struct "boost::unit_test::output::xml_log_formatter" However, the XML file generated by log Formatter is Invalid. it adds invalid node end = "</>" , by the end of each test case logging. Please check below XML. <TestLog> <TestSuite name="Master Test Suite"> <TestSuite name="test_suite1"> <TestSuite name="MarketDataMasterTestSuite"> <TestSuite name="PostMarketData"> <TestSuite name="CTA"> <TestCase name="LevelOneData">error #LevelOneData#LevelOneData#STOCK$121@4106!132^SYMBOL&C#CLS_PRC_TD#0#NA</> <TestingTime>16000</TestingTime> </TestCase> <TestCase name="LevelOneData">error #LevelOneData#LevelOneData#STOCK$121@4106!132^SYMBOL&CHL#CLS_PRC_TD#0#NA</><TestingTime>0</TestingTime> </TestCase> </TestSuite> </TestSuite> </TestSuite> </TestSuite> </TestSuite> </TestLog> Has anyone faced scenario like this earlier??

count compressed bytes
by Kraus Philipp 13 Jun '10

13 Jun '10

Hi, I have implemented this litte code to compress a file bio::filtering_streambuf< bio::input > l_deflate; switch (m_compress) { case gzip : l_deflate.push( bio::gzip_compressor() ); break; case bzip2 : l_deflate.push( bio::bzip2_compressor() ); break; } l_deflate.push( bio::file_source(p_str, BOOST_IOS::binary) ); I need only the number of compressed bytes of l_deflate. I try to use l_deflate.size() but it returns only a fixed number. How I can read the number of compressed bytes? Thanks Phil

How to figure out if a boost class does lazy copy or not?
by Peng Yu 13 Jun '10

13 Jun '10

Hi, I need to construct some container in a function and return it. I think that some container in boost follow lazy copy sematics but some don't. For example, if tr1::unordered_map uses lazy copy, then I can return an object of tr1::unordered_map. Otherwise, I should return boost::shared_ptr<tr1::unordered_map>. Although this information may be documented for any container that I will use, I still think that it is still worthwhile to having my own test case to figure it out, because it may not easy to find such information in the document. I'm wondering if there is a generic way to test if a container use lazy copy or not without reading the actual implementation of the class? -- Regards, Peng

building 1.43 for iPhone
by Igor R 13 Jun '10

13 Jun '10

Hello, Few months ago I succesfully built 1.41 for iPhone, but it seems that the things changed since then. I'm trying to follow these recommendations (for 1.42): http://iphone.galloway.me.uk/2009/11/compiling-boost-for-the-iphone/ I define "iphone3.1.2" version in my user-config.jam, but bjam says: "feature.jam:485: in feature-validate-value-string from module feature error: 'iphone3.1.2' is not know value of feature <macosx-version>". Does it mean that the building system doesn't find user-config.jam? Thanks.

[bind] counterintuitive behavior with vector and auto_ptr
by Christian Henning 13 Jun '10

13 Jun '10

Hi there, I'm doing some job interview preparations. Always a good idea to go back to the basics and tinker around a bit. I came across a surprising behavior when using std::vector, std::auto_ptr, and boost::bind. Basically, I have a vector of auto_ptrs which is copied into a second vector, thus the first vector's auto_ptr loss their resource and point to nowhere. Basic stuff, as I said. Now, when I try to use an auto_ptr from the first vector using boost::bind everything still works. Meaning the code doesn't fail, although it should. I find that surprising. Why is boost::bind recreating the resource? Here is a my example code: #include <algorithm> #include <iostream> #include <vector> #include <boost/bind.hpp> using namespace std; struct A { A() { cout << "A::A();"; } ~A() { cout << "A::~A();"; } void foo() { cout << "A::foo();"; } }; auto_ptr< A > allocate_A() { return auto_ptr<A>( new A() ); } void call_foo( auto_ptr< A > p ) { p->foo(); } int main() { std::vector< auto_ptr< A > > v( 100 ); generate_n( v.begin(), 100, allocate_A ); for_each( v.begin(), v.end(), boost::bind( &A::foo, _1 )); std::vector< auto_ptr< A > > v2( 100 ); copy( v.begin(), v.end(), v2.begin() ); // auto_ptr in v should be empty now. // this fails //v[0]->foo(); // this fails //for_each( v.begin(), v.end(), call_foo ); // this doesn't fail for_each( v.begin(), v.end(), boost::bind( &A::foo, _1 )); return 0; } I'm using MSVC10 Express. Regards, Christian

You're welcome. With my implementation, it depends on the size of the sending buffer. If data from more than one file fits into the buffer, that data is added to the buffer. -- Brian Wood Ebenezer Enterprises http://webEbenezer.net (651) 251-9384 "The L-RD is my light and my salvation: whom shall I fear? the L-RD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?"

Null Stream
by Kraus Philipp 12 Jun '10

12 Jun '10

Hi, I'm new at boost, but I don't know how to use the http://beta.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/boost/iostreams/device/null.hpp device. I must use the boost::iostreams::copy to copy a stream to the /dev/ null, but I don't know to declare my out null-output stream. Can anyone help me to declare the stream? Thanks Phil
