your snippit compiles fine using my vs7.1 and the latest from CVS. is there some code needed to instantiate any of this needed to cause the ICE?

Bug in BGL with num_vertices( filtered_graph )
by Sebastian Weber 20 Dec '04

20 Dec '04

Hello there! I think I found a bug in the BGL concerning the num_vertices function applied to filtered graphs. I use the filtered graph stuff with a vertice predicate. When I loop through the filtered graph with the vertex_iterator, I end up with a loop over all vertices where the predicate is true, just as it is supposed to be. But the function num_vertices on the filtered graph does return me the number of vertices of the original graph and not of the filtered graph. My system: boost 1.32.0, g++ 3.3.4, debian sarge. My graph type is boost::adjacency_list<boost::vecS, boost::vecS, boost::undirectedS > and boost::filtered_graph<graph_t, boost::keep_all, largest_component<graph_t> > Greetings, Sebastian Weber

enable_if for class templates
by Agoston Bejo 20 Dec '04

20 Dec '04

Has anyone succeeded in specializing class templates with enable_if under VC++7.1? I have created the simplest example possible and cannot imagine how I could rewrite so that no Internal Compiler Error occurs. I have tried with both the boost 1.31 and 1.32 headers, with no difference. ------------------------------------------------------ #include <iostream> #include <boost/utility/enable_if.hpp> #include <boost/type_traits.hpp> using namespace std; using namespace boost; template<typename T, typename E = void> struct A { enum { X = 0 }; }; template<typename T> struct A<T, typename enable_if< typename is_arithmetic<T> >::type> { enum { X = 1 }; }; template<typename T> struct A<T, typename enable_if< typename is_object<T> >::type> { enum { X = 2 }; }; struct B {}; int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { // cout << is_arithmetic<double>::value << endl; typedef A<float> Afloat; cout << Afloat::X << endl; // Internal Compiler Error cout << A<int>::X << endl; cout << A<B>::X << endl; return 0; } ------------------------------------------------------

Where should STL suggestions go?
by Jim Lear 20 Dec '04

20 Dec '04

I know this is not the correct place to suggest new features to the STL, but I can't find a similar group for STL. Any suggestions? Sorry for the interruption. P.S. In case you're wondering what the suggestion is: Add ability to use random access operators with iterators. E.g. vector<int> intv; ... vector<int>::iterator i=intv.begin(); intv[i]++; It seems odd and confusing that iterators have pointer semantics but not random access semantics. -- Jim Lear

Return type of boost::bind(...)
by Agoston Bejo 19 Dec '04

19 Dec '04

Hi! Is there an easy way to use the exact type of what boost::bind(...) returns? The example above sheds some light of the source of this question. It would be much better (actually this is what bind is for, isn't it?) if I didn't have to define the plus_5 struct in order to be able to use transform_iterator. I wrote it in the comment what I'm thinking about. I could delve deeply into the bind header files and try to explicitly find what the exact class definition is, but I suspect it would not be too easy. Anyway, I may be forced to do that. Thx, Agoston // ------------------------------------------- #include <iostream> #include <functional> #include <algorithm> #include <boost/iterator/transform_iterator.hpp> #include <boost/bind.hpp> using namespace std; using namespace boost; struct plus_5 : public unary_function<int, int> { int operator()(int i) const { return i + 5; } }; typedef transform_iterator<plus_5, int*> Iterator; //------- *** ---------------------- //typedef transform_iterator< bind_type<plus<5>, _1, 5>, int* > Iterator; // how to easily get the return type of bind(plus<5>(), _1, 5) // in compilation time? //------- *** ------------------------ int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { int ia[] = {1,2,3,4,5}; copy(Iterator(ia), Iterator(ia+5), ostream_iterator<int>(cout, " ")); cout << endl; return 0; }

[range]array of ints
by Duane Murphy 18 Dec '04

18 Dec '04

I am changing a code base that previously was using the no longer supported array_traits. I use the begin() and end() functions in a lot of places with arrays of integers. I have converted everything to using boost::range::begin() and end(). However, there is a severe collision. begin() and more importantly end() are overloaded for wchar_t. Turns out on Mac OS X, wchar_t is the same as an int. This causes end() to look for a null terminator instead of just using the array length template function. Is there a way I can make range::end() work for real array's of int rather than wchar_t? Thanks for any tips, ...Duane

As Mr. Dawes pointed out, it would be nice to have that info in the docs somewhere. Overall though, I'm not sure that the allocations I'm seeing are acceptable for my application. Ideally, I'd like 1 allocation on connect and 0 allocations on signal send. We will be using an optimized small block allocator, but we still want to reduce memory operations as much as possible. Is there any suggestion to reduce this? I ran my own test putting in _CrtSetAllocHook(MyAllocHook), just copied from msdn. Below are the results (cleaned up a bit for just alloc hook calls). I haven't really looked at memory pools too closely. Would they be useful in any sort of situation with signals? >From the pool docs: >Pools are generally used when there is a lot of allocation and de-allocation of small objects. Another common usage >is the situation above, where many objects may be dropped out of memory.

Hello, Attached you can find a modified version of your code snipplet that works. In fact you needn't specify <bool>, but you have to pass as many arguments as the function actually takes, three in this case.
