FW: BGL, MPI

With lots of help I think I am getting close to a "hello, world" BGL, MPI example to execute. Not sure about the error I am getting from execution from libs/mpi/example on symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) cluster of compute nodes, 1. compilation/translation of hello_world.cpp, works :-) $ mpiCC -I ../boost_1_48_0 \ -I ../boost_1_48_0/boost/mpi \ -I ../boost_1_48_0/stage/lib \ -lboost_mpi \ -lboost_thread \ -lboost_regex \ -lboost_graph -lboost_graph_parallel \ -lboost_serialization \ -lpthread \ hello_world.cpp -o hello_world 2. execution, error :-( $ mpirun -np 2 ./hello_word *** Process received signal *** Signal: Segmentation fault (11) *** Signal code: Address not mapped (1) *** Failing at address (nil) *** /lib64/libpthread.so.0 *** mpirun noticed process rank 0 with PID 16684 Maybe someone has seen this before and knows of a fix. Thank you. Andrew M. Neiderer US Army Research Lab

Multi_array still incompatible with VS2010 Debug
by Michael Jackson 30 Nov '11

30 Nov '11

Are there any plans to update multi_array to be compatible with VS2010? Kind of an issue when I try to compile my code using VS2010? Searching around it seems that this bug has been around for a while now. There is even a suggested fix in one of the bugs. Thanks Mike Jackson

[units] Unable to print temperature quantity
by Belcourt, K. Noel 30 Nov '11

30 Nov '11

Hi, I'm a complete neophyte with the units library. I have cause to use it so I'm trying to do something simple and am getting compile problems. This code: #include <iostream> #include <boost/units/io.hpp> #include <boost/units/quantity.hpp> #include <boost/units/systems/temperature/fahrenheit.hpp> int main(int, char **) { using namespace boost::units; quantity<fahrenheit::temperature> t; std::cout << t << std::endl; return 0; } Generates this error with Intel 11.1 on Darwin using trunk. /Users/kbelco/boost/boost/units/io.hpp(967): error: more than one instance of overloaded function "boost::units::detail::do_print_prefixed" matches the argument list: function template "void boost ::units ::detail ::do_print_prefixed <Prefixes,CharT,Traits,Dimension,System,T>(std::basic_ostream<_CharT, _Traits> &, const boost::units::quantity<boost::units::unit<Dimension, System, void>, T> &)" function template "void boost ::units ::detail ::do_print_prefixed <Prefixes,CharT,Traits,Unit,T>(std::basic_ostream<_CharT, _Traits> &, const boost::units::quantity<Unit, T> &)" argument types are: (std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char>>, const boost::units::quantity<boost::units::fahrenheit::temperature, double>) detail::do_print_prefixed<Prefixes>(os, q); ^ detected during: instantiation of "void boost ::units ::detail ::maybe_print_prefixed <Prefixes,CharT,Traits,Unit,T>(std::basic_ostream<_CharT, _Traits> &, const boost::units::quantity<Unit, T> &, boost::mpl::true_) [with Prefixes=boost::units::detail::engineering_prefixes, CharT=char, Traits=std::char_traits<char>, Unit=boost::units::fahrenheit::temperature, T=double]" at line 1050 instantiation of "std::basic_ostream<_CharT, _Traits> &boost::units::operator<<(std::basic_ostream<_CharT, _Traits> &, const boost::units::quantity<Unit2, T2> &) [with Char=char, Traits=std::char_traits<char>, Unit=boost::units::fahrenheit::temperature, T=double]" at line 14 of "/ Users/kbelco/core_simulator/test/integration/main_test_5.cpp" Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

[spirit-karma] skipping tokens while generation
by Ovanes Markarian 30 Nov '11

30 Nov '11

Hello *, I am somehow stuck when trying to skip tokens to be generated. My configuration is boost 1.47 and visual c++ 2010. I also do not understand how some mechanics are intended to work. Example 1: Lets say I have a string: /// And I want my generator to generate: / from it or if the string is not '///' leave it as it is. So I wrote: using namespace std; string result; typedef std::back_insert_iterator<string> oiter_t; oiter_t out(result); string input = "///"; namespace k=karma; k::generate(out, &k::string("///") << "/" | k::string, input); And that works fine. Example 2: Now I would like to the slash to be a dynamic part, so I go ahead and define a rule: string root("/"); k::rule<oiter_t, std::string()> repeating_slash = +k::lit(root); k::generate(out, &repeating_slash << "/" | k::string, input); Here the generate never returns (infinite loop???).... Next test: Example 3: use in the rule instead of k::lit a k::string. This does not compile. Why? I was going through the docs over and over again but somehow I miss smth. Many thanks, Ovanes

Spirit: assertion fails under Windows but not Linux
by Gaël de Chalendar 30 Nov '11

30 Nov '11

Hello, The code below fails under Windows with the following message (sorry in French, I don't know how to force Visual C++ to work in English). This is under Windows. It works under Linux I use Boost 1.47 with cmake and Visual C++ 2008 uner Windows and Boost 1.46 and gcc 4.6.1 under Linux. The assertion in boost grammar.hpp is accompanied by this comment: // If you see the assertion below failing then the start rule // passed to the constructor of the grammar is not compatible with // the grammar (i.e. it uses different template parameters). but I don't understand how to interpret it in my case... Any idea ?

Manipulating boost::multi_array
by kelvSYC 30 Nov '11

30 Nov '11

Right now, I'm using boost::multi_array for implementing a dynamic-sized matrix for an algorithm in which the number of rows and columns therein may wildly fluctuate (is boost::multi_array even the right class for this?). What's frustrating me is how I can do any and all of the following: 1. Remove a single row or column from a matrix 2. Insert a single row or column to a matrix 3. Augment two matrices together 4. Swap two rows or columns Is there any way to do the first three without calling resize() and moving the elements around manually? For the last, does something like std::swap(A[row1], A[row2]) work?

[lambda & range] bind for transformed - how to do it.
by Robert Jones 29 Nov '11

29 Nov '11

In this code (fabricated) sequence, ages_by_bind compiles, but ages_by_lambda does not. I believe this is because the lambda version does not publish result_type to its resultant functors, since the increased generality of lambda makes this difficult or impossible to do. Is there any way I can get round this, as it currently makes the lambda/transformed combination completely unusable AFAICS. Thx, - Rob. #include <map> #include <vector> #include <string> #include <boost/bind.hpp> #include <boost/range.hpp> #include <boost/range/adaptor/transformed.hpp> #include <boost/range/algorithm_ext/push_back.hpp> #include <boost/lambda/lambda.hpp> #include <boost/lambda/bind.hpp> std::vector<int> ages_by_bind( const std::map<std::string, int> & people ) { using boost::adaptors::transformed; std::vector<int> result; boost::range::push_back( result, people | transformed( bind( & std::map<std::string, int>::value_type::second, _1 ) ) ); return result; } std::vector<int> ages_by_lambda( const std::map<std::string, int> & people ) { using boost::adaptors::transformed; namespace ll = boost::lambda; std::vector<int> result; boost::range::push_back( result, people | transformed( ll::bind( & std::map<std::string, int>::value_type::second, ll::_1 ) ) ); return result; }

BGL with MPI
by Neiderer, Andrew M USA CIV (US) 29 Nov '11

29 Nov '11

I have libs/graph/example's working fine under RH in boost_1_48_0. But cannot get MPI working with BGL, e.g. libs/mpi/example/hello_world.cpp :-( When I translate using $g++ -I .../boost_1_48_0 -I .../boost_1_48_0/boost/mpi hello_world.cpp I get a bunch of errors, the first of which boost/mpi/config.hpp cannot find mpi.h. Not even sure where mpi.h is located and how it differs from mpi.hpp? Maybe if I solve this problem then all the other error messages, or most, will also go away. If there is a simple/obvious fix please let me know. Thank you. Andrew M. Neiderer US Army Research Laboratory
