Packed resource files with iostreams & zlib filter
by gyrotech＠freakinabox.com 03 Aug '07

03 Aug '07

Hello all. I am trying to create a wrapper for a set of resources (mixed text, image, etc files) for use in an SDL-based application. I want to use iostreams and keep it as close to C++ as I can, but SDL uses some functions that load data from c-type file pointers or a location in memory using a void* and byte-count. Is it possible to define a method of file access using iostreams and a filter that will then let me create sub-streams of the data inside?? For instance - a zlib-compressed file called 'foobar.gz' that contains 'foo.txt' and 'bar.png'. I want to attach an iostream to foobar.gz then use functions to get the contents in different formats, e.g. stream<my_res_file> compressed_file( "foobar.gz" ); ifstream foo = compressed_file.getasfilestream( "foo.txt" ); // read stuff from foo foo.close(); char* img_data; unsigned long size; compressed_file.getasmembuffer( img_data, &size ); // read img_data and poke around with it delete[] img_data; I know the above is just for illustration, but I can't find any libs that do this sort of work. I am having some real problems now even at the design stage, for instance how to neatly pack multiple files into a single one. My packed-file headers always seem to go wrong and without fixed-length space for files names it gets even more painful :-) If this isn't the right place for this sort of question (I see it's far more conceptual than directly boost-related) then I apologise and will start hitting on some more generic forums and lists ;-) Thanks for your time, GT

Location of html documention?
by Robert Ramey 03 Aug '07

03 Aug '07

I've downloaded boost on my system and run tests which build the libraries. When I surf the documention on my local hard drive in to "type_traits" I'm redirected to the www.boost.org How do I get the html documentation on my hard drive. Perhaps it is produced by the normal install process - which I confess I didn't do - as running the tests builds the libraries I need. I looked for it there but I didn't see it. Robert Ramey

[Boost.Thread] self deadlocking issue
by Cheng Lian 03 Aug '07

03 Aug '07

Hi, all I was debugging a buggy program which could be simplified as below: #include <boost/thread.hpp> using namespace boost; mutex m; void f() { mutex::scoped_lock lock( m ); } int main() { mutex::scoped_lock lock( m ); f(); return 0; } I think this would definitely self deadlock and the program should be waiting forever. And my Debian Linux box proved that true. But on my XP (with SP2) box, the program didn't dead lock and everything pass through! Seems that on Win32 platform, the mutex is recursive? I checked the code and only CRITICAL_SECTION related is found around the lock/unlock lines. But I think CRITICAL_SECTION itself is not recursive. Then why? Thanks for response. Cheers Cheng

[Graph] How to initialize edge index map?

[Graph] problem with arguments of transitive closure algorithm ?
by Emmanuel Viaud 02 Aug '07

02 Aug '07

Hello. Using Boost 1.34.1 (with g++-3.4.2) and more specifically the Boost Graph library, I stumbled on a small problem with the transitive_closure algorithm. I saw in the documentation that I can get a map containing the mapping between the vertices of the original graph and the ones in the transitive closure graph (the orig_to_copy parameter). But every time I call the method, I get an empty map as a result. To sum up my code, I use the following data structures for the graph: typedef boost::adjacency_list < boost::vecS, boost::vecS, boost::directedS > graph_t; typedef boost::graph_traits < graph_t >::vertex_descriptor vertex_t; and the following one for the expected map: typedef std::map < vertex_t, vertex_t > ioMap_t; The graphs and map are declared the following way: graph_t myGraph; graph_t myTCGraph; ioMap_t ioMap; I used both versions of the algorithm: 1) using named parameters, I call: transitive_closure(myGraph, myTCGraph, orig_to_copy(ioMap)); 2) using "standard" parameters, I call: transitive_closure(myGraph, myTCGraph, ioMap, get(vertex_index, myGraph)); So, the main question is easy: Where did I write something wrong ? :-) A remark though. I see that the declaration in the case of "standard" parameters is the following : template <typename Graph, typename GraphTC, typename G_to_TC_VertexMap, typename VertexIndexMap> void transitive_closure(const Graph& g, GraphTC& tc, G_to_TC_VertexMap g_to_tc_map, VertexIndexMap index_map); So, if I understand everything (I'm far from speaking C++ fluently), this means that the g_to_tc_map parameter is passed by value. Shouldn't it be rather passed by reference (this would explain my problem as, when debugging my code, I saw that the map is correctly filled in the transitive_closure method but the caller gets back nothing at all) ? Hope I managed to be clear and thanks for your help. Best regards, Emmanuel

It just doesn't have to be. If by any chance the design will change, I do not want destructor to be the only virtual function. Gennadiy

[Subversion] Repository back online; please re-checkout
by Douglas Gregor 02 Aug '07

02 Aug '07

The Boost Subversion repository is back online. You are strongly advised to remove any previous checkouts from the Subversion repository and to check out a clean copy from Subversion. The MIME types problem has been fixed. I hope this also fixes the issues that we have been seeing with TortoiseSVN. Please report back whether it works or not. We still need help updating regression.py to work with Subversion! - Doug
