histogram example in Random

20 Mar '03

Hello all, I am trying to compile the histogram example(histogram.cpp) in random but have not had success. I am using MSVC++ 7.0. Has anyone had success in compiling this file using MSVC++ 7.0? Below are the error messages I receive. Thanks again for any and all suggestions! c:\Documents and Settings\Agiato\My Documents\Visual Studio Projects\histogramTest\driver.cpp(48): warning C4267: 'argument' : conversion from 'size_t' to

RE: [Boost-Users] boost install and library linking
by Michael Hunley 20 Mar '03

20 Mar '03

I posted a solution to this for the v1 jambuild on the jambuild list, but not sure if anything will come of it since most of the effort is going into v2. My solution (for threads only) was to add a simple stage target at the end of the root Jamfile. Here it is: stage bin : ## Source Files ## <dll>libs/thread/build/boost_thread : ## Tags ## <tag><debug>"d" : ## default variants ## debug release ; This puts all the libs and such in $(BOOST)/bin s.t. all debug variants have are of the form <libraryname>d.<extension>. This is not completely robust (since the possible variants are huge), but it should help basic users out who need one of the generated libs. Makes linking and DLL/SO access much simpler. Under v2 it will be a different ball of wax, but much better/more maintainable (IMHO).

Regex++ newbie problems
by Bruce Adams [TSP Sunbury] 20 Mar '03

20 Mar '03

Hi, I've just started using Regex++ (from boost 1.29.0) and I'm experiencing some strangeness that don't seem to be mentioned in the faq. Firstly I found that [-A-Za-z]+ matched spaces and punctuation characters unexpectedly rather than plain alphabetic characters and hyphens only as desired. Reading the documentation I altered this to [-:alpha:] & [-:upper::lower] with no effect. So I decided to experiment with adding ^[:space:]. When finally I reached the expression below I got a coredump where the expression was declared. The intention of this expression was to strip and keep leading and trailing punctuation and spaces as well as extracting a word from the middle. static const boost::regex Word_expression("([:punct::space:]*)([-:upper::lower:^[:punct::space:]]+)([: punct::space:]*)"); Is it right that 'bad' expressions should coredump? And if so in what way is the above expression bad? (as an aside maybe we could catch bad ones better by replacing regex strings with overloaded operators the way streams have superceded printf) I found I still get rogue matches on punctuation and spaces when I use the manually expanded form below: ([-abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ]+) What is going wrong? Regards, Bruce A.

Help with my first compilation with uBLAS
by Zdenek Hurak 20 Mar '03

20 Mar '03

Hello, Could anybody help me with my first compilation of a simple code using MATRIX class from uBLAS library? Namely, I can't set all the "include" properly. Have a look at the code snipet: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #include <iostream.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <boost/numeric/ublas/matrix.hpp> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { using namespace boost::numeric::ublas; matrix<double> m (3, 3); for (int i = 0; i < m.size1 (); ++ i) for (int j = 0; j < m.size2 (); ++ j) m (i, j) = 3 * i + j; std::cout << m << std::endl; } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I get an error message: main.cpp:21:42: boost/numeric/ublas/matrix.hpp: No such file or directory I use gcc/g++ on i386-linux and I set a parameter of the compiler to: --x-includes=/home/hurak/Documents/cpluspluswork/boost_1_29_0/ which is exactly the parent directory of "boost/numeric/ublas/matrix.hpp". Could you please explain to me what is still missing? I cannot find any example on the BOOST web. I am not much experienced in all this "include" stuff. Before delving deeper into the compiler options I would like to know if everything else is correct. Thanks Zdenek Hurak

return type of bind object
by Faheem Mitha 20 Mar '03

20 Mar '03

Dear People, I have defined a function as follows. double accept_prob_fn(const double x, const double be, const double theta, const double a, const double b); Now, I define the temporary function object bind(accept_prob_fn, _1, be, theta, a, b); So this function object would return the first argument, x. However, I want to save this function object to a function object called foo, say. So I want to do something like Type foo = bind(accept_prob_fn, _1, be, theta, a, b); However, the problem I have is that I'm not sure what type foo should be. I forced an error with my compiler (to try to see what it thought the type of the rhs should be) by using Type as double, but all I got was brent.cc:9: cannot convert `boost::_bi::bind_t<double, double (*)(double, double, double, double, double), boost::_bi::list5<boost::arg<1>, boost::_bi::value<double>, boost::_bi::value<double>, boost::_bi::value<double>, boost::_bi::value<double> > >' to `double' in initialization Eww. I've tried looking at the documentation, but I find it pretty much incomprehensible. Could someone a) Tell me what "Type" should be. b) Give me some brief indication of the reasoning by which one might arrive at this conclusion, with appropriate references to the documentation? Thanks. Feel free to cc a copy of any reply to me. I'll check the mailing list via gmane in any case. Faheem.

inner class functionlity with smart ptr.
by Saffi 19 Mar '03

19 Mar '03

Hi It is very common in Java when using pattern as EventListener having an inner class Adapter as the listener. I wanted that and more, I couldn't use "this" as the source of a shared ptr since then we will have to ref cnt to the same object ... Such scenario will cause a problem when one of the ref cnts will reach zero will delete the object and the other ref will point to a destructed object. The Problem : how define an inner class which would delegate functionality of the main class and break the ever annoying problem of giving ref to the main class. In Short two things are required : a. getSelf() functionality instead of "this" as a base for reference b. a glue to connect inner class to outer (in Java in terms of this example : ObjectWithAdapter.this) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- Example : ObjectWithAdapter : the main class that need to register as listener IListener : listener interface ObjectWithAdapter::Adapter is the implementation of the IListener and delegates the message to the main class class IListener { virtual void helloListener(char *str)=0; }; class ObjectWithAdapter : public TMe<ObjectWithAdapter> { typedef RStrong<ObjectWithAdapter> RObjectWithAdapter; public: void helloListener(char *str) { // called from adapter } public: class Adapter : public TSon<ObjectWithAdapter>, IListener {public: void helloListener(char *str) { if (getPapa()) { getPapa()->helloListener(str); } } Adapter() { // register } virtual ~Adapter(void ) {// unregister } }; typedef RStrong<Adapter> RAdapter; RAdapter _adapter; ObjectWithAdapter() { } void initSons() { _adapter = RAdapter(new Adapter()); _adapter->initSon(getSelf()); } ~ObjectWithAdapter() { } }; typedef RStrong<ObjectWithAdapter> RObjectWithAdapter; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------ Is such functionality is worthy piece of code for boost ? BTW my implementation works fine for me. -- Saffi

Hi Is there a way to work with boost's smart pointers , for memory allocated by a memory manager ? I have a memory manager the pre allocates memory , and when i need new memory , i use the manager to supply it , and when i am finished, i return the memory to the memory manager . did i make my self clear ?. thanks shany
