BUG: _DLL used to define BOOST_SIGNALS_STATIC_LINK
by kaineumann2001 12 Aug '03

12 Aug '03

Under cl(MS)/icl(Intel) compiler hash-def '_DLL' denotes dynamic linking of the C runtime library. Therefore, signals library should not use this to determine linkage (I may wish to statically link the signals library, while dynamically linking c-runtime.) see file boost/signals/detail/signals_common.hpp where the following snippet is invalid: #if defined(_MSC_VER) && defined(_DLL) # define BOOST_SIGNALS_HAS_DLL_RUNTIME #endif #if defined(BOOST_SIGNALS_HAS_DLL_RUNTIME) && !defined (BOOST_SIGNALS_STATIC_LINK) # if defined(BOOST_SIGNALS_IN_LIBRARY_SOURCE) # define BOOST_SIGNALS_DECL __declspec(dllexport) # define BOOST_SIGNALS_BUILD_DLL # else # define BOOST_SIGNALS_DECL __declspec(dllimport) # endif #endif here BOOST_SIGNALS_DECL is defined as __declspec(dllimport) as a consequence of linking the c-runtime dynamically under cl/icl compilers. But that's not what I wanted - I wanted to link signals.lib statically. This same bug is in the regex library. In fact, anyone able to fix this, should search for _DLL in the BOOST headers. Cheers, Kai

boos::bind class member function
by dirk_griffioen 12 Aug '03

12 Aug '03

Hi, I would like to use a for_each with a class member function. The for_each in myclass::do_print below does not compile. And I simply cant figure it out. I'm using vc7.1. //////////////////////////////// void print2(std::string s) { cout << s << '\n'; } class myclass { public: void print(std::string s); void do_print(); }; void myclass::print(std::string s) { cout << s << '\n'; } void myclass::do_print() { vector<std::string> v; v.push_back("a"); v.push_back("b"); v.push_back("c"); v.push_back("d"); for_each(v.begin(), v.end(), boost::bind(boost::type<void>(), &myclass::print, _1)); } ///////////////////////////////////////// nor will for_each(v.begin(), v.end(), boost::bind(&myclass::print, _1)); for_each(v.begin(), v.end(), boost::bind(print, _1)); whereas for_each(v.begin(), v.end(), boost::bind(print2, _1)); is ok It seems natural to do, but I cant get it.

how to convert c++ objects to Python?
by cavok＠filibusta.crema.unimi.it 12 Aug '03

12 Aug '03

hi, i have a c++ function that returns a reference to a c++ object. i want to expose this function to Python making it return the Python version of the object. i'm using Boost.Python. i understood that i have to use to_python_converter but the body of the A_to_Python::convert function is mystery for me. Boost documentation's example solves the problem in a manner i'm not able to apply to my case. my A object is complex and i'd like to somewhat (re)use the class_ object. ---------------- CUT HERE ---------------- #include <boost/python.hpp> using namespace boost::python; struct A { void f() {} }; A a; struct A_to_Python { static PyObject* convert(const A& a) { // documentation says: // return PyObject_New(noddy_NoddyObject, &noddy_NoddyType); } }; A& get_A() { return a; } BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(hello) { class_<A>("A") .def("f", &A::f) ; to_python_converter<A, A_to_Python>(); def("get_A", get_A, return_value_policy<reference_existing_object>()); } ---------------- CUT HERE ---------------- please, somebody enlighten me. many thanks domenico -----[ Domenico Andreoli, aka cavok --[ http://filibusta.crema.unimi.it/~cavok/gpgkey.asc ---[ 3A0F 2F80 F79C 678A 8936 4FEE 0677 9033 A20E BC50

BGL write_graphviz and VertexList type
by Solomon Gibbs 12 Aug '03

12 Aug '03

Hello, I've been trying to use the write_graphviz function in BGL, and I've noticed that it appears to be sensitive to the type of VertexList used in the graph. adjacency_lists using a boost::vecS produce vertex indices in integer form like: graph G { 0[label="0"]; 1[label="1"]; 0--1 [label="2.8"]; } but the same code backed by boost::listS seems to not dereference completely: graph G { 0x80545f0[label="10"]; 0x8054608[label="11"]; 0x80545f0--0x8054608 [label="2.8"]; } dot doesn't like this. I notice that write_graphviz dereferences boost::graph_traits<Graph>::vertex_iterator to print the vertex. Are the listS and vecS *operators different somehow? The vector backed adjacency_list also seems to be automagically setting the vertex_index property to the actual index of the vertex in the storage vector instead of the value given in add_vertex(). My question is: Is this the expected behavior for these classes or some problem I've managed to create on my own? Thanks, Solomon

Boost smart pointers.
by Amit Bhatia 10 Aug '03

10 Aug '03

Hello All, I have been trying to understand the smart pointer library. One thing that I did not understand was in the documentationin quite beginning: "T may be an incomplete type at the point of smart pointer declaration. Unless otherwise specified, it is required that T be a complete type at points of smart pointer instantiation." So what exactly does this incomplete/complete type mean? Does this have anything to do with the class pointed to being abstract /concrete ? thanks, regards, amit.

[BGL] Different types as vertices of a graph
by sashan 10 Aug '03

10 Aug '03

I'd like to use the graph library to support connections between different types of objects. To do this I've created a class GraphNode that forms the base class for various other objects that can become vertices of the graph. I've tried the following. int main(int,char*[]) { //these two classes Translate and Mesh inherit from GraphNode Translate* pT = new Translate; Mesh* pM = new Mesh; // create a typedef for the Graph type typedef adjacency_list<vecS, vecS, bidirectionalS> Graph; const int num_vertices = 2; // writing out the edges in the graph typedef std::pair<GraphNode*, GraphNode*> GraphEdge; GraphEdge edge_array[] = { GraphEdge(pT,pM) }; const int num_edges = sizeof(edge_array)/sizeof(edge_array[0]); // declare a graph object Graph g(num_vertices); // add the edges to the graph object for (int i = 0; i < num_edges; ++i) add_edge(edge_array[i].first, edge_array[i].second, g); return 0; } but get the following error message related to the fact that it can't choose a suitable overloaded add_edge function. If I replace the types in the vertex with an int it compiles happily. I'm using Boost 1.30.0 e:\Code\Edge\Console\Console.cpp(42) : error C2665: 'boost::add_edge' : none of the 2 overloads can convert parameter 1 from type 'GraphNode *' e:\Code\boost\boost\graph\detail\adjacency_list.hpp(1211): could be 'std::pair<_Ty1,_Ty2> boost::add_edge<boost::detail::adj_list_gen<Graph,VertexListS,OutEdgeListS,DirectedS,VertexProperty,EdgeProperty,GraphProperty,EdgeListS>::config>(boost::detail::adj_list_gen<Graph,VertexListS,OutEdgeListS,DirectedS,VertexProperty,EdgeProperty,GraphProperty,EdgeListS>::config::vertex_descriptor,boost::detail::adj_list_gen<Graph,VertexListS,OutEdgeListS,DirectedS,VertexProperty,EdgeProperty,GraphProperty,EdgeListS>::config::vertex_descriptor,boost::bidirectional_graph_helper_with_property<Config> &)' with [ _Ty1=boost::adj_list_helper<boost::detail::adj_list_gen<boost::adjacency_list<boost::vecS,boost::vecS,boost::bidirectionalS>,boost::vecS,boost::vecS,boost::bidirectionalS,boost::no_property,boost::no_property,boost::no_property,boost::listS>::config,boost::detail::adj_list_gen<boost::adjacency_list<boost::vecS,boost::vecS,boost::bidirectionalS>,boost::vecS,boost::vecS,boost::bidirectionalS,boost::no_property,boost::no_property,boost::no_property,boost::listS>::DirectedHelper>::edge_descriptor, _Ty2=bool, Graph=boost::adjacency_list<boost::vecS,boost::vecS,boost::bidirectionalS>, VertexListS=boost::vecS, OutEdgeListS=boost::vecS, DirectedS=boost::bidirectionalS, VertexProperty=boost::no_property, EdgeProperty=boost::no_property, GraphProperty=boost::no_property, EdgeListS=boost::listS, Config=boost::detail::adj_list_gen<boost::adjacency_list<boost::vecS,boost::vecS,boost::bidirectionalS>,boost::vecS,boost::vecS,boost::bidirectionalS,boost::no_property,boost::no_property,boost::no_property,boost::listS>::config ] e:\Code\boost\boost\graph\detail\adjacency_list.hpp(1941): or 'std::pair<_Ty1,_Ty2> boost::add_edge<Graph,boost::detail::adj_list_gen<Graph,VertexListS,OutEdgeListS,DirectedS,VertexProperty,EdgeProperty,GraphProperty,EdgeListS>::config,boost ::detail::adj_list_gen<Graph,VertexListS,OutEdgeListS,DirectedS,VertexProperty,EdgeProperty,GraphProperty,EdgeListS>::DirectedHelper>(boost::detail::adj_list_gen<Graph,VertexListS,OutEdgeListS,DirectedS,VertexProperty,EdgeProperty,GraphProperty,EdgeListS>::config::vertex_descriptor,boost::detail::adj_list_gen<Graph,VertexListS,OutEdgeListS,DirectedS,VertexProperty,EdgeProperty,GraphProperty,EdgeListS>::config::vertex_descriptor,boost::vec_adj_list_impl<Graph,Config,Base> &)' with [ _Ty1=boost::adj_list_helper<boost::detail::adj_list_gen<boost::adjacency_list<boost::vecS,boost::vecS,boost::bidirectionalS>,boost::vecS,boost::vecS,boost::bidirectionalS,boost::no_property,boost::no_property,boost::no_property,boost::listS>::config,boost::detail::adj_list_gen<boost::adjacency_list<boost::vecS,boost::vecS,boost::bidirectionalS>,boost::vecS,boost::vecS,boost::bidirectionalS,boost::no_property,boost::no_property,boost::no_property,boost::listS>::DirectedHelper>::edge_descriptor, _Ty2=bool, Graph=boost::adjacency_list<boost::vecS,boost::vecS,boost::bidirectionalS>, VertexListS=boost::vecS, OutEdgeListS=boost::vecS, DirectedS=boost::bidirectionalS, VertexProperty=boost::no_property, EdgeProperty=boost::no_property, GraphProperty=boost::no_property, EdgeListS=boost::listS, Config=boost::detail::adj_list_gen<boost::adjacency_list<boost::vecS,boost::vecS,boost::bidirectionalS>,boost::vecS,boost::vecS,boost::bidirectionalS,boost::no_property,boost::no_property,boost::no_property,boost::listS>::config, Base=boost::detail::adj_list_gen<boost::adjacency_list<boost::vecS,boost::vecS,boost::bidirectionalS>,boost::vecS,boost::vecS,boost::bidirectionalS,boost::no_property,boost::no_property,boost::no_property,boost::listS>::DirectedHelper ] while trying to match the argument list '(GraphNode *, GraphNode *, Graph)' e:\Code\boost\boost\iterator_adaptors.hpp(1409) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::filter_iterator_generator<Predicate,Iterator,Value,Reference,Pointer,Category,Distance>' being compiled
