bit_iterator
by Jan Langer 12 Jun '02

12 Jun '02

hello, i do use iterator adaptor to build a bit_iterator, which return single bits of the elements of an underlying iterator. the base_type of my iterator_adaptor is std::pair <BaseIterator, unsigned int> representing the iterator and the bit position. now my iterator does not work if i adapt istreambuf_iterator because self operator++(int) { self tmp(*this); ++*this; return tmp; } of iterator_adaptor is not able to use the proxy returned by the postfix increment of the input iterator. now i searched the archive and found in: Subject: Re: [boost] (infinite) sequences using recurrence relations From: Corwin Joy < cjoy@xxxx > Date: Fri, 10 Aug 2001 01:21:28 -0500 the following sentence: >In table 72, p. 511 of the standard you will notice something weird about >the postfix increment operator: >Namely, it is specified as (void)r++. >In other words, unlike all other standard iterator types, an input iterator >is not required to return a copy of its old value! but this would mean that the expression *i++ is wrong in most cases. is there a trick to make iterator_adaptor also handle this case or shall i hope that nobody types *i++ with my bit_iterator based on such an input iterator, or did i understand something incorrectly? regards -- jan langer ... jan(a)langernetz.de "pi ist genau drei"

shared_ptr in Borland C++ Builder
by Craigus 12 Jun '02

12 Jun '02

Hi I'm new to using the Boost library. I'm using the shared_ptr because I can't do what I want to do with the std::auto_ptr (which is to have them stored in other STL containers). I ran into the following problem in C++ Builder 5, patch 1- I have Codeguard turned on (detects memory leaks, accessing freed memory, overwriting memory illegally and the like). When the shared_ptr object count goes to zero operator() in checked_deleter eventually gets called. Codeguard is reporting (in poor English): Method called on illegally casted object It doesn't matter what type the shared_ptr holds. I even tried a console program that contains only the following line (apart from return 0; of course :-): boost::shared_ptr< int > tmp( new int ); As soon as that object goes out of scope it is destroyed and operator() is called as I indicated above and Codeguard reports the error. Has anyone else seen this behaviour ? I was originally using Boost 1.27, which gave me the same error when I used the reset method. I downloaded 1.28 and that went away so that now it's only happening when the actual shared_ptr object is destroyed. I don't have much idea of what's going on inside the shared_ptr, so I don't even know where to start looking. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks Craigus

Well, of course you have to think about what data the iterator will need in order to do the iteration. The Base type can't be just a container if you want the iterator to traverse the container's elements -- you need to store some indication of the position within the container -- e.g. a node pointer, and index, or an interator -- as (part of) the Base type. -Dave

Hello, I use the BGL to read a graphviz file and I do a depth_first_search on the graph. I would like to determine the fontname (times-roman for example) the fontcolor (black for example) and the position of each node when the depth_first_search is done. Could you help me? Thinks

How to use Iterator Adaptors?
by keithmac66 12 Jun '02

12 Jun '02

Hi, I'm struggling to understand how to use Iterator Adaptors, due to a lack of simple examples. This is disappointing, given that supposedly "Using iterator_adaptor, you can easily implement an iterator class" (www.boost.org/libs/utility/iterator_adaptors.htm) Can anyone help, by explaining how to implement a random access iterator for a custom collection class? e.g.: template <class T> class DumbCollection { public: DumbCollection(T data[10]) { for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) m_data[i] = data[i]; } iterator begin(); iterator end(); private: T m_data[10]; }; Thanks, Keith

how to compile the boost/regex without comand line
by Aza Lsaja 11 Jun '02

11 Jun '02

Hi, I'm new on this list as well as on C++ world. I try to install boost library but failed. This is what I did: [Win98, MSVC 6.0 without service pack] 1. Download and extract the zip file to root directory. I have C:\boost_1_27_0 now. (success) 2. Download Boost.Build for windows from sourceforge, unpack and installing, reboot (success) 3. go to c:\boost_1_27_0 directory, then execute this in command prompt: jam -sBOOST_ROOT=. -sTOOLS="msvc" (fail) the dos prompt yield many lines but I cant read it. It's too fast. I think it's error messages. Or maybe I missing some procedure? please let me know. I guess my compiler is broken and I need MSVC service pack. But, I can't download it at this time. Acctually, I just want to use the boost's regex library. Can I compile the regex manually (by the IDE) so I can use it with include ( #include <boost/regex.hpp> ) in my codes? If yes, how? Sorry for my english, I hope you understand me. Thanks.

Hi! Could some body tell me how to use boost libraries in Unix. I am using tcsh shell. After downloading, what should I change in order for the compiler to locate the boost library headers. Thanks, Raj.

thread::join() usage
by rgalek2002 10 Jun '02

10 Jun '02

Hi, I have an application which starts a number of threads, and I want the application to wait for the threads to finish before exiting. Standard stuff, I know, but never having used threads before I am wondering what the stadard way is to accomplish this. I have (psuedo code) for (each record in database) { thread thrd(func(), data); } I could imagine storing all my thread objects in a list, and then calling join() on each one. For example something like list <thread> threads; for (each rec in db) { thread thrd(func(), data); threads.insert(threads.begin(),thrd); } list<thread>::iterator i; for (i=threads.begin(); i!=threads.end(); i++) { thread t = *i; t.join(); } Does this seem reasonable? Is there a better/standard way? One thing I don't like here is that each join will block, when what I would like to do is something more like join_all(); Thanks, Rich

I'm getting errors in xtime.cpp relating to uint64_t when building with the Intel-win32 v6.0 compiler. The errors are: xtime.cpp libs\thread\build\../src\xtime.cpp(80): error: namespace "boost" has no member "uint64_t" const boost::uint64_t TIMESPEC_TO_FILETIME_OFFSET = ((boost::uint64_t)27111902UL << 32) + (boost::uint64_t)3577643008UL; Has anyone else run into this? Any help is appreciated. Glenn
