Boost.Threads for Fedora/Wine
by most＠museresearch.com 09 Jul '08

09 Jul '08

Hi, I would like to use Boost.Thread in my 'winelib' application (a Linux executable that can also use Windows APIs via Wine). My application hosts, and shares threads with, 3rd party Windows DLL binaries. I've been told that to interact well those threads I must use the Windows threading APIs in my application. But by default Boost for Fedora (naturally) uses the pthread APIs. So I would need to use the Win32 variant of Boost.Thread. Any suggestions for how to use the Win32 thread APIs in Boost.Thread, but use the Linux variants of the rest of the libraries like Boost.Filesystem etc? I looked in to Boost.Build and bjam, but wasn't sure how to proceed. I got stuck trying to configure it to use winegcc or how to set BOOST_THREAD_PLATFORM_WIN32. Is that the right tack? Thanks for any tips... Michael Ost PS: FYI the Wine project provides the 'winegcc' tool which can build sources with Windows APIs into winelib shared libraries. That is, 'winegcc' could build the Win32 versions of the Boost.Thread source into Linux shared libraries. It is command line compatible with gcc.

[mpl] minimizing template nesting depth
by Brian Simpson 09 Jul '08

09 Jul '08

I've got some code that makes heavy use of mpl. I developed and successfully testid it with msvc8.0 . Then I #included it in a WinForms app (meaning that the compiler is now running with one of the /clr options). The compiler stops with an error explaining that it has "run out of stack space". This could be simply a difference in compiler implementations, but I thought I remembered that mpl was implemented with some builtin recursion unrolling classes to mitigate deeply recursive typedef issues. If so, it occurred to me that maybe the macros mpl is depending on to trigger the level of recursion unrolling aren't supplied when msvc is compiling for CLI. I've perused the code a bit to try to find where it is setting such a thing, but haven't been successful. So I thought I'd post here in hopes of a quick answer. Does mpl implement such a thing? And if so, where is it? I'd like to see if it isn't getting used for cli compilation. Thanks! --Brian

Templated Class as Polymorphic Function Parameter
by Joshua Perry 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

I apologize if this is a beginner question, but I can't find much on how something like this is supposed to work. I am using boost::iostreams to abstract away a couple of different methods of talking to our hardware devices. So I've created a device for each transport, each of which derive from device<bidirectional>; ip_device, serial_device, and usb_device. I then declare streams for each as stream<ip_device>, etc... Now that I have the streams, I have a class that communicates with the device and I would like to construct or initialize an object of that class with any one of the streams. I have yet to figure out how to form the constructor/function parameter to allow this. I've tried something like this, a stream of the base type of my devices: void init( stream< device<bidirectional> > str); I think something like this may work but I'm not sure if I want to template the function: template< typename T> void init(stream<T> str); A reference to any kind of discussion about using templates in such a way would help me in more than just this instance. Thanks for any input, Josh

[gil] new opencv extension
by Christian Henning 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

Hi there, over the past few weeks I have rewritten the current opencv extension. Now there is a lot more functionality available as it was before. The following topics are covered: * converting colorspaces ( gray, rgb, rgba, xyz, hsv, hls, and lab ) * drawing primitives ( line, rectangles, circle, polyline, and text ) * edge detection ( sobel, laplace, canny, ... ) * resizing images( nearest neighbor, linear, area, and cubic ) * smoothing ( blur, gaussian, median, and bilateral ) As usual this extension is header only, but a user would need to make the opencv headers and libs available for compiling and linking. You can download the extension here using subversion: http://gil-contributions.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/gil_2 The folder structure is the same as with all boost libraries. There are some tests that can be used for testing and for learning the rather simple interface. Only the vc8 compiler has been used so far and though I would like ask for some assistance for making the extension compilable with gcc, for instance. Please give me some insight of what you think and about what functionality you might miss. I started to toy around with Tom Brinkman's idea of stacking up operations to batch process them which you can see in the drawing_test.cpp. Regards, Christian BTW: OpenCV is distributed with the BSD license and if I understand wikipedia correctly there isn't any objection using it in commercial applications. "The BSD License allows proprietary commercial use, and for the software released under the license to be incorporated into proprietary commercial products. Works based on the material may even be released under a proprietary license (but still must maintain the license requirements)."[wikipedia]

Re: [Boost-users] Boost Graph Library and Graphviz

Hi Giuseppe, The BGL GraphViz reader does handle arbitrary graph, vertex, and edge properties. I am attaching an example program that demonstrates how to handle the example that you present below.

Boost:Function bind to overloaded member
by James Sutherland 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

The following code does not compile: struct X { int foo(int i) { return ++i; } template<class T> void foo( T& t ); }; int main() { boost::function<int(int)> f; X x; f = boost::bind( &X::foo, &x ); std::cout << f(5) << std::endl; } I get the error message "no matching function for call to ‘bind(<unknown type>, X*)" If I remove the "template<class T> void foo" method then it compiles fine. Is there a way to tell boost::bind to choose the int foo(int i) method rather than the "template<class T> void foo" method? James

[fusion] join result
by Istvan Buki 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

Dear boost experts, I have difficulties using the fusion join algorithm result. Here is a small sample demonstrating the problem. namespace fields { struct one ; struct two ; } typedef fusion::map < fusion::pair< fields::one, std::string >, fusion::pair< fields::two, std::string > > rec_t ; int main() { rec_t r1( std::string( "1" ), std::string( "2" ) ) ; rec_t r2( std::string( "10" ), std::string( "20" ) ) ; typedef fusion::result_of::join< const rec_t, const rec_t >::type res_type ; res_type res = fusion::join( r1, r2 ) ; // Compile error! fusion::at_key< fields::two >( res ) = std::string( "200" ) ; std::cout << res << std::endl ; } I can not modify the map fields because they are const. I tried changing the result type from typedef fusion::result_of::join< const rec_t, const rec_t >::type res_type ; to typedef fusion::result_of::join< rec_t, rec_t >::type res_type ; but that doesn't work neither. Can somebody explain how to assign the result of a join to a variable that I can modify later using functions like at_key, erase_key,... ? Thanks

Retrieving parsed separators in boost::tokenizer
by Carlos Alvarez 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

Hi, When I use multiple separator to tokenize a string with boost::char_separator<char> sep( ".,:;" ) as example, i'd like to know if there could be some to iterate parsed separators, just like we can iterate parsed tokens. In my case, I need to know, with a defined separators list, which are the most used in a user defined text. Thnx Carlos Alvarez

Hi, I saw a thread from 4 years ago on this topic here: http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2004/12/77721.php is there any definitive way to go since then? Akos

[boost-users][bind/lambda] how to
by Igor R 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

Hello, struct Inner { bool good() const; }; struct Outer { Inner inner_; const Inner &inner() const { return inner_; } }; std::vector<Outer> outers; I'd like to find Outer whose Inner is good(): std::find_if(outers.begin(), outers.end(), ?); How should I use boost::bind or boost::lambda to tell the stl algorithms to call Inner::good()? Thank you in advance!
