[ptr_vector] vector<ptr_vector < T > >
by Seweryn Habdank-Wojewódzki 28 May '07

28 May '07

Hi! Can anyone tell me why std::vector < boost::ptr_vector < T > > can not be reserved and resized I can not push_back anything inside vector, due to compile errors? I am using ptr_vector for storing copyable, but nonassignable objects of type T - in fact objects contains mainly const elements. Regards. #include <iostream> #include <vector> #include <boost/ptr_container/ptr_vector.hpp> class Foo { public: Foo ( int const i, int const & j ) :i_(i), j_(j) {} Foo ( Foo const & f ) : i_(f.i_), j_(f.j_) {} private: int const i_; int const & j_; void operator= ( Foo const & f ); }; int main() { using namespace std; using namespace boost; int k = 10; ptr_vector<Foo> g; g.push_back ( new Foo(1,k) ); vector<ptr_vector<Foo> > d; //d.push_back ( g ); <-- Errors //d.resize(5) //d.reserve(5) } -- |\/\/| Seweryn Habdank-Wojewódzki \/\/

Boost 1.34.0 Builds *Almost* Perfectly - 4 Failures with BJam [Regex/ICU-related]
by Lawrence Spector 28 May '07

28 May '07

Any ideas? I think they're related to ICU. I downloaded ICU 3.6 (the latest). However, I am using this with VS2005, which was "rarely tested" according to the website. Still, after converting the ICU project to VS2005 and building, I had no build errors, but I do get these link errors with boost, which all seem to be ICU-related.

auto-link problem
by Rob Agar 27 May '07

27 May '07

hi all, Apologies if this question has been asked a million times before, but having searched the archives and documentation I'm none the wiser. Basically the problem is this: the auto-linker is trying to link to the wrong boost::filesystem lib and I can't figure out out to fix it. The error from MS Visual Studio 2005 is "LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_filesystem-vc80-mt-gd-1_34.lib'". Fair enough because this file does not exist. I want it to use the dll import lib boost_filesystem-vc80-mt-gd-1_34.lib. This file does exist, and is in a directory on the MSVC lib search path, along with the matching dll. So the question is, how do I tell the auto-linker to link to the file I want, or if this is not possible, how do I switch off auto-linking? I would rather not recompile the boost libs if I can help it. Thanks Rob

Hi I have simple problem if months and years derived from date_duration?

[iostreams] Issue with closing of filters (esp. tee_filter)
by Chad Walters 27 May '07

27 May '07

I am running into an issue with iostreams related to the closing of filters (tee_filter in particular) and I think I really need a little help. Thanks in advance to anyone patient enough to read through the following. I created a multichar_output_filter called ChecksumFilter. It outputs a crc for every 4K of data streamed into it. I am using in conjunction with a tee_filter to stream out a file of checksums in parallel with another file stream. Unfortunately, ChecksumFilter::close() is not invoked at times when I believe it should be, resulting in the checksum for the final chunk of data not getting pushed out. The following code shows the problem: typedef boost::iostreams::composite<ChecksumFilter, boost::iostreams::file_sink> ChecksumComposite; char buffer1[BufferSize]; memset(buffer1, DefaultValue, sizeof(buffer1)); std::string fileName1(tmpnam(0)); std::string fileName2(tmpnam(0)); boost::iostreams::file_sink sink1(fileName1.c_str()); boost::iostreams::file_sink sink2(fileName2.c_str()); ChecksumFilter chksum; ChecksumComposite comp(chksum, sink2); boost::iostreams::tee_filter<ChecksumComposite> tee(comp); { boost::iostreams::filtering_stream<boost::iostreams::output> ostream; ostream.push(tee); ostream.push(sink1); result = boost::iostreams::write(ostream, buffer1, sizeof(buffer1)); } // ChecksumFilter::close() is not invoked here!!! ChecksumFilter itself is pretty basic -- it is simply a multichar_output_filter: class ChecksumFilter : public boost::iostreams::multichar_output_filter { public: ChecksumFilter(void) : mImpl(new details::ChecksumFilterImpl()) { // Nothing to do here } template<typename Sink> std::streamsize write(Sink& sink, const char* s, std::streamsize n) { return mImpl->write<Sink>(sink, s, n); } template<typename Sink> void close(Sink& sink) { mImpl->close<Sink>(sink); } private: boost::shared_ptr<details::ChecksumFilterImpl> mImpl; }; I don't think the details of ChecksumFilterImpl are relevant. I spent some time tracing through the closing code path. I'm sure this comes as no surprise to anyone but it's quite a twisty maze. I will be the first to admit that my understanding of the library is incomplete, but here is something that I think is a bit odd -- somewhere along the way between the code in closer.hpp and tee.hpp, the openmode gets converted from BOOST_IOS::out to BOOST_IOS::in | BOOST_IOS::out. >From closer.hpp: template<> struct close_impl<closable_tag> { template<typename T> static void close(T& t, BOOST_IOS::openmode which) { printf("close closable_tag 1\n"); typedef typename category_of<T>::type category; const bool in = is_convertible<category, input>::value && !is_convertible<category, output>::value; if (in == ((which & BOOST_IOS::in) != 0)) { t.close(); } } template<typename T, typename Sink> static void close(T& t, Sink& snk, BOOST_IOS::openmode which) { typedef typename category_of<T>::type category; const bool in = is_convertible<category, input>::value && !is_convertible<category, output>::value; if (in == ((which & BOOST_IOS::in) != 0)) { non_blocking_adapter<Sink> nb(snk); t.close(nb); } } }; >From tee.hpp: template<typename Device> class tee_filter : public detail::basic_adapter<Device> { public: ... template<typename Next> void close( Next&, BOOST_IOS::openmode which = BOOST_IOS::in | BOOST_IOS::out ) { iostreams::close(this->component(), which); } ... }; The original openmode at the start of the close chain is BOOST_IOS::out, but the close_impl's two close methods discard that openmode when they call t.close() or t.close(nb). This means that tee_filter's close() sets openmode to its default value of BOOST_IOS::in | BOOST_IOS::out. This mode is passed along to iostreams::close(), which ends up back in close_impl close() again as it is attempting to close the ChecksumFilter. However, now the check "if (in == ((which & BOOST_IOS::in) != 0))" fails, and so ChecksumFilter.close() is never invoked. If I change the default value for openmode in tee_filter::close() to BOOST_IOS::out, everything works OK for me, but I am not really sure that this is the right thing to do. It appears that some kind of custom closing in closer.hpp could be done for tee_filters that would pass through the openmode, much like the handling for classes that support the two_sequence tag (sorry if I am jumbling terminology a bit here). But I am not sure my understanding of the overall code is strong enough to do the right thing here either. Can anyone help me out or put me in touch with someone who can? Much thanks! Chad Walters PS: And if you read this far, you probably understand the iostreams library more than well enough to confirm whether the possible (likely?) bug I reported earlier this week is really a bug (nobody has replied as of yet): At the bottom of concepts.hpp, the following typedefs appear: typedef multichar_filter<input> multichar_input_filter; typedef multichar_filter<input> multichar_input_wfilter; typedef multichar_filter<output> multichar_output_filter; typedef multichar_filter<output> multichar_output_wfilter; typedef multichar_filter<dual_use> multichar_dual_use_filter; typedef multichar_filter<dual_use> multichar_dual_use_wfilter; I think the wfilter versions of these typedefs should use multichar_wfilter<...>. Agreed?

Thank you for you time to answer. Allthough your answer has helped me, I still have the bad_weak_ptr exception. Every time I try to access the shared_from_this pointer from inside Base member functions, I get that exception. What I want to know is how can I access safely an without errors, the shared_from_this pointer inside my Base class, when I create a smart pointer instance of my Derived class. In derived I don't have that problem (I can access shared_from_this) because this is the class the instance is created.

Yet another boost::enable_shared_from_this question
by Yaoltzin Gomez 26 May '07

Hello everyone Here's my problem. I have a small set of classes (I'm working on an API). Some of the classes use inheritance hierarchy. Sometimes I need to use (well lots of times) the "this" pointer and work with raw pointers inside each class. However, I would like to work with smart pointers. So I need to change the signature of my member functions to accept smart pointers, but now I need an "this" smart pointer equivalent. I derived the classes from boost::enable_shared_from_this. Basically, what I have is this: class Base : public boost::enable_shared_from_this<Base> { boost::shared_ptr<Base> GetBasePointer() { return shared_from_this(); } void Foo() { shared_ptr<Child> child( new Child ); AddChild( child, GetBasePointer() ); } }; class Derived: public Base, public boost::enable_shared_from_this<Derived> { boost::shared_ptr<Derived> GetDerivedPointer() { return shared_from_this(); } void Bar() { AnotherFunction( GetDerivedPointer() ); ... } }; Now, in the main function I have: int main(...) { boost::shared_ptr<Derived> derived( new Derived ); derived->Foo(); derived->Bar(); } Obviously, this causes a bad_weak_ptr exception, because I'm creating a Derived instance, and the shared_from_this called inside Foo throws the exception, but I need to call this functions defined in the Base class. In other words, I need access to the shared_from_this, in Base and Derived, and right now I can't do this. I would like to know if it's possible to use shared_from_this in this way, or not, and if not, what other options do I have (besides using raw pointers) This is a simplified problem, in my code, generally I have more than 2 leves of class inheritance, so things get more complicated. I hope I explained myself correctly. Thanks in advance.
