auto_array?
by Duane Murphy 04 Jan '03

04 Jan '03

Is there a class filling in the missing piece to the memory management puzzle for an auto_array? We have: scoped_ptr and scoped_array, shared_ptr and shared_arry, and auto_ptr. I would like to have an auto_array. Basically the feature that is missing is to create an array, initialize it and then transfer ownership as a way of managing exceptions during the initialization phase. For the time being I am using a shared_array. Thank for any suggestions. ...Duane

That still misses the point. Boost currently won't help you to install the library, but installation certainly wouldn't entail copying the entire $BOOST_ROOT tree to the $INCLUDE directory on your system. You'd only copy the $BOOST_ROOT/boost tree there. William E. Kempf wekempf(a)cox.net

RegEx: (?= ) and (?! )
by Yutaka Emura <yutaka＠emurasoft.com> 02 Jan '03

02 Jan '03

Hi, I am using RegEx in Boost v1.29.0. (?= ) and (?! ) expressions do not seem to work at a certain condition. In the following example, "(?=a)b" should match "b" in "xyzabcdefg", but does not. Similarly, "(?!a)b" should not match "b" in "xyzabcdefg" but it does. Can please let me know what is wrong? Thank you for your reply in advance. Yutaka Emura --------- boost::regex expression; boost::match_results<std::string::const_iterator> subexp; expression.assign("(?=a)b", boost::regbase::perl); if (boost::regex_search((std::string::const_iterator)"xyzabcdefg", (std::string::const_iterator)"xyzabcdefg" + 10, subexp, expression, boost::match_default)) { { // should go here } else { // goes here } expression.assign("(!=a)b", boost::regbase::perl); if (boost::regex_search((std::string::const_iterator)"xyzabcdefg", (std::string::const_iterator)"xyzabcdefg" + 10, subexp, expression, boost::match_default)) { { // goes here } else { // should go here }

concept check warnings
by s_j_turner <s_j_turner＠yahoo.co.uk> 02 Jan '03

02 Jan '03

FWIW, I just started looking at Jeremy Siek's concept checking tools, and my compiler(*) came up with a warning about name hiding which is trivial to fix. I was using ContainerConcept, and it uses a method argument with the same name as a data member. The fix looks like: *** concept_check.hpp Fri Dec 27 16:51:51 2002 --- concept_check.hpp Thu Jan 2 16:13:03 2003 *************** *** 708,719 **** function_requires< AssignableConcept<Container> >(); const_constraints(c); } ! void const_constraints(const Container& c) { ! i = c.begin(); ! i = c.end(); ! n = c.size(); ! n = c.max_size(); ! b = c.empty(); } Container c; bool b; --- 708,719 ---- function_requires< AssignableConcept<Container> >(); const_constraints(c); } ! void const_constraints(const Container& cc) { ! i = cc.begin(); ! i = cc.end(); ! n = cc.size(); ! n = cc.max_size(); ! b = cc.empty(); } Container c; bool b; There are a few other classes in there which do the same thing, but this is the only one I'm currently using. --- (*) Sun Forte 6.2.1

I don't have too much advice except a) try the latest boost b) put a try/catch block around the code, figure out what function is calling and what exception is being thrown. > -----Original Message----- > From: ksaleh2 <ksaleh2(a)yahoo.com> [mailto:ksaleh2@yahoo.com] > Sent: Wednesday, January 01, 2003 9:21 AM > To: Boost-Users(a)yahoogroups.com > Subject: [Boost-Users] Re: Simple boost program throws exception > > > Hi, > > On December 7th I've posted this message, which unfortunately didn't > get any reply.

Simple boost program throws exception

I'm trying boost for the first time on Codewarrior 8.0 for windows. The Boost version is 1.25.1 from the "Boost Graph Library" accompanying CD. The offensive code is : #include <boost/config.hpp> #include <iostream> #include <boost/graph/adjacency_list.hpp> using namespace boost; using namespace std; int main() { typedef adjacency_list<vecS,vecS,directedS, property < vertex_name_t, char >,property<edge_weight_t,double> > Graph; property_map < Graph, vertex_name_t >::type name_map ; property_map < Graph, edge_weight_t >::type value_map ; Graph g; typename graph_traits<Graph>::vertex_descriptor a,b; a = add_vertex(g); name_map[a] = 'a'; b = add_vertex(g); name_map[b] = 'b'; typename graph_traits<Graph>::edge_descriptor ed; bool inserted; tie(ed, inserted) = add_edge(a, b, g); value_map[ed] = 1.2; return 0; } If the second template parameter for class VertexListS is replaced with listS it compiles and run normally. typedef adjacency_list<vecS,listS,directedS, property < vertex_name_t, char >,property<edge_weight_t,double> > Graph; Can you please advise why?

shared_ptr and VC++ .net

Hi, I was trying to compile the following code using VC++ .NET. #include "stdafx.h" #include "boost/smart_ptr.hpp" int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { boost::shared_ptr<int> spc = new int(0); return 0; } I got the following error messages: c:\boost\smart_ptr.hpp(375) : error C2065: 'T' : undeclared identifier c:\boost\smart_ptr.hpp(375) : error C2687: cannot define a nested UDT of a template class out of line c:\boost\smart_ptr.hpp(375) : fatal error C1903: unable to recover from previous error(s); stopping compilation The offending code in smart_ptr.hpp is: template<typename T> struct less< boost::shared_ptr<T > > //..... LINE 375 : binary_function<boost::shared_ptr<T>, boost::shared_ptr<T>, bool> { bool operator()(const boost::shared_ptr<T>& a, const boost::shared_ptr<T>& b) const { return less<T*>()(a.get(),b.get()); } }; Can someone please tell me what is the problem? I was able to compile the same code using VC++ 6.0. Thanks. Ming

The first date iterators pre-dated iterator adaptors. When I sat down to convert things over it was 'less-than easy'. I read the docs and experimented, but couldn't get things working -- this might have been related to 2.9x series of compilers I was using at the time, but no matter. When I ran out of patience I just dropped it and never got back to it. It has been on my 'todo' list ever since... Jeff
