solaris gcc 3.2 stlport regexp (bug?)
by c_twiner 27 Nov '02

27 Nov '02

Hi all, When I use bjam to compile the regexp library it compiles seems happy and then no code works properly, seg faults, rubbish results etc. When I compile using a modified make file of the shared-gcc.mak (modifications follow): INCLUDES= -I/export/home/ctwiner/STLport-4.5.3/stlport -L/export/home/ctwiner/STLport-4.5.3/lib LIBS= -lstlport_gcc_stldebug # compiler: CXX=g++ LINKER=g++ -shared -fPIC # # compiler options for release build: # C1=-c -O2 -I../../../ -fPIC # # compiler options for debug build: # C2=-c -g -I../../../ -fPIC It builds but even linking to the .so created causes a seg fault. I know that stlport is ok because I have programs linking to the new version using std::map's vectors and strings. I posted another message using 2.95 which had the same/similar problems. Everything seems to build fine but running causes seg faults. The solaris version is 2.8. When using the bjam built files and trying to run the compiled regexp_tests the locale_impl.h of stlports asserts at line 60. latest downloads of all librarys have been used. TIA Chris

ublas::matrix sharing storage with ublas::vector
by Stephen Crowley 27 Nov '02

27 Nov '02

It is possible for a vector and a matrix to share the same storage, as long as the dimensions agree? Some of the algorithms I am implementing require some objects to be treated as an arbitrarily sized matrix, and sometimes as a vector, and it would be convient to have a matrix and a vector share the same memory. -- Stephen

Link problem with boost::signals and console applications in MS Visual C++ 6 / Windows
by Klaus Nowikow 26 Nov '02

26 Nov '02

Hi all, a colleague asked me to post the following question: When using the boost signal lib in VC6 (Win32 Console Application), the linker produces the following errors: msvcprt.lib(MSVCP60.dll) : error LNK2005: "public: __thiscall std::_Lockit::~_Lockit(void)" (??1_Lockit@std@@QAE@XZ) already defined in libcpd.lib(iostream.obj) msvcprt.lib(MSVCP60.dll) : error LNK2005: "public: __thiscall std::_Lockit::_Lockit(void)" (??0_Lockit@std@@QAE@XZ) already defined in libcpd.lib(iostream.obj) MSVCRT.lib(MSVCRT.dll) : error LNK2005: "public: __thiscall exception::exception(class exception const &)" (??0exception@@QAE@ABV0@@Z) already defined in LIBCD.lib(stdexcpt.obj) MSVCRT.lib(MSVCRT.dll) : error LNK2005: "public: __thiscall exception::exception(void)" (??0exception@@QAE@XZ) already defined in LIBCD.lib(stdexcpt.obj) MSVCRT.lib(MSVCRT.dll) : error LNK2005: "public: virtual __thiscall exception::~exception(void)" (??1exception@@UAE@XZ) already defined in LIBCD.lib(stdexcpt.obj) LINK : warning LNK4098: defaultlib "MSVCRT" conflicts with use of other libs; use /NODEFAULTLIB:library Debug/boost.exe : fatal error LNK1169: one or more multiply defined symbols found There seems to be a conflict between the libraries signals.lib, libcpd.lib and libcd.lib. When I try to ignore the libraries libcpd.lib and libcd.lib in the project settings, other linker errors occur when I use std::cout for example: main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "class std::basic_ostream<char,struct std::char_traits<char> > std::cout" (?cout@std@@3V?$basic_ostream@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@@1@A) Is there a way to use the boost::signals library in a Win32 Console Application in VC6?

Is intrusive_ptr the thing to use?
by Hickman, Greg 26 Nov '02

26 Nov '02

I need an object managed through a shared_ptr to be able to pass itself (i.e., this) to another object which also expects a shared_ptr. Is there a preferred implementation technique for this when using the boost smart pointers? I think I've seen conversation in the past about deriving from boost::counted_base and calling shared_from_this(), but I think I also remember seeing comments to the effect that this is going away. OTOH, I know there's something called intrusive_ptr that's currently undocumented. Should I be using one of these approaches? If the answer is intrusive_ptr, are there docs? Should I roll my own? What's a Booster to do? -Greg

matrix inside a matrix?
by Stephen Crowley 26 Nov '02

26 Nov '02

Is it possible to define a matrix that is part of a larger matrix, without having to create temporaries and copy part of the larger? /----------\ | | | | SM | | |----| LM | | | \----------/ I need to extract a sub-section of a matrix, multiply it, and then copy it back. I am currently using a temporary, but I have a feeling there must be a better way. -- Stephen

>The only problem with it currently is that the >smart_class MUST be managed with smart_ptrs, >if you try to 'delete' it, it will try to delete >itself and crash. This seems like a problem that could be overcome through overloading the "delete" operator. Perhaps if you declared your delete operator as protected (or private), and then made the smart pointers you wanted to use friends? That would force you to use a specific set of smart pointer classes, but that doesn't sound like it would be a problem in your case. It's fixing the symptom rather than the disease, but is better than nothing. Turning runtime errors into compiletime errors is always a Good Thing. --Mark Storer Software Engineer Cardiff Software #include <disclaimer> typedef std::disclaimer<Cardiff> Discard;

RE: [Boost-Users] Re: uBLAS, MTL performance tests.
by Randy Bowen 25 Nov '02

Actually, default behavior of the IDE is to define "_DEBUG" in the debug configurations, and "NDEBUG" in the release versions. Those are set as defaults for all files, but may be overridden on a case-by-case basis as necessary. This is a bit off topic for the Boost list. If you have other questions in this area, feel free to email me directly.

johnson algorithm, bug or feature?
by Ramón Casero Cañas 25 Nov '02

25 Nov '02

I have tested the johnson_all_pairs_shortest_paths example of libboost-graph 1.28. It's a directed graph. Shortest path from vertex 3 to vertex 0 weights "inf" (all edges of vertex 0 are outgoing edges). That's OK. Now we change the graph from directedS to undirectedS. The path weights now "5": 0 1 2 3 4 5 0 -> 0 0 -1 -5 0 -4 1 -> 0 0 -1 -5 0 -4 2 -> 1 1 0 -4 1 -3 3 -> 5 5 4 0 5 1 4 -> 0 0 -1 -5 0 -4 5 -> 4 4 3 -1 4 0 But if the path is 3-> 4 -> 0, should it not be "-5"? Why does the algorithm change the sign in an undirected graph? In this reference of NIST http://www.nist.gov/dads/HTML/johnsonsAlgorithm.html we can read: "Johnson's algorithm (algorithm) Definition: An algorithm to solve the all pairs shortest path problem in a sparse weighted, directed graph". So, is it really the problem that Johnson's algorithm doesn't work on undirected graphs? If so, shouldn't the function throw a compilation error/warning and/or be warned in the documentation? Regards, Ramón.
