[units] Creating a velocity unit
by Ryan 26 Feb '13

26 Feb '13

Boost Community, I'm trying to create a custom velocity unit. I would like to create a unit that is in nautical miles per hour to represent my speed value. If I use pound_force.hpp as an example of units with more than one dimension I can create the following. BOOST_UNITS_DEFINE_BASE_UNIT_WITH_CONVERSIONS(metric, nautical_mile_per_hour, "nautical mile per hour", "nmi h^-1", factor, si::velocity, ???); If this is the right track, what id would I use and how do I know that it is unique? This seems forced. I would rather define this unit in terms of meters per second. Nautical miles is already in terms of meters and hours is also defined as a scale of seconds. Can I somehow use these two already defined units to create the new unit? How would I do this? Ryan

[PBGL] distributed property map problem
by bminano 26 Feb '13

26 Feb '13

Hello, I am having a problem trying to initialize the distributed property map in parallel code. I get a memory access violation when running this part of code: BGL_FORALL_EDGES(e, g, Graph) { remote_key k(rank, index); put(values, k, 0.1); index++; } I followed the distributed_property_map_test, but I cannot figure where is the problem. It fails at the first edge. The distributed map is defined as follows: typedef boost::parallel::distributed_property_map<mpi_process_group, remote_key_to_global, EdgeIndexMap> ValueMap; ValueMap values(g.process_group(), remote_key_to_global(), eindex); values.set_reduce(rank_accumulate_reducer<double>()); Where eindex is a local map with the local indices of the edges. Please, could someone help me? -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/PBGL-distributed-property-map-problem-tp… Sent from the Boost - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[fusion, phoenix, spirit2] C++ orientation
by Michael Powell 26 Feb '13

26 Feb '13

Hello, It's been a little while since I've gone into much depth in C++. Been in the C# world for recent years and have a fairly advanced view of that world, through concepts like push-oriented dependency injection, pull-oriented inversion of control (less preferred), functional style programming using anonymous actions, functions, lambdas, and so on. I am working on a project now where we are adopting C++ into the mix, and I would like to get a much better sense for Spirit (likely Spirit2) for purposes of how to run sequences of complex data through various calculations, finds, counts, etc, probably needing to dynamically parse these calculations. Our data will be a series of spiked tuples (one or more) of n-dimensional packed values, and we'll probably need to dynamically parse calculations on the n-dimensions to determine did we satisfy the solution. I don't know if that makes any sense to anyone. It's all very conceptual, very abstract, at this stage of the game. I know, or have a sense, exactly how I might do it in C#, .NET 4, and so on. A little less so what's available in C++, much less boost, spirit, phoenix, fusion, etc. Any insight where to begin would be helpful. Regards, Michael

[Regex] MSVC 2008 (VC9) fails to compile regex_raw_buffer.hpp on 1_49
by Larry 26 Feb '13

26 Feb '13

I get an error just including regex.hpp in a program that used to work on earlier VC versions. 1>c:\boost\include\boost-1_49\boost\regex\v4\regex_raw_buffer.hpp(184) : error C2665: 'operator new' : none of the 6 overloads could convert all the argument types 1> c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio 9.0\vc\include\new(57): could be 'void *operator new(size_t,void *) throw()' 1> c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio 9.0\vc\include\new(86): or 'void *operator new(size_t,const std::nothrow_t &) throw()' 1> while trying to match the argument list '(const char [64], long)' 1>c:\boost\include\boost-1_49\boost\regex\v4\perl_matcher_non_recursive.hpp(110) : error C2059: syntax error : '*' inline raw_storage::raw_storage(size_type n) { start = end = static_cast<pointer>(::operator new(n)); <--- offending line for first error BOOST_REGEX_NOEH_ASSERT(start) last = start + n; } struct save_state_init { saved_state** stack; save_state_init(saved_state** base, saved_state** end) : stack(base) { *base = static_cast<saved_state*>(get_mem_block()); *end = reinterpret_cast<saved_state*>(reinterpret_cast<char*>(*base)+BOOST_REGEX_BLOCKSIZE); --(*end); (void) new (*end)saved_state(0); <---- offending line for second error ........... I looked to see if this was a known failure but apparently missed it if it was already covered. It is probably not a Boost problem. The earlier versions were compiled on 32 bit systems and this is a 64 bit system (Win7). I assume I have probably missed some configuration item to make this work. I am fairly certain I did compile this before under VC9 on a 32 bit system (Vista). (Boost was built from source on this system and this compiler.) Any pointers for resolution would be appreciated.

Boost user's guide or getting started guide?
by John Lilley 25 Feb '13

25 Feb '13

Greetings! I feel that many questions I have about Boost.Geometry are really questions about the "Boost way and true path". Is there a good place to get started with Boost.Geometry specifically or Boost in general? I feel that I am locking in some basic understanding of how all of these templates fit together, what are Ranges, what are "concepts" etc. Where do I RTFM? Thanks, john

nest mpl::lambda
by Niitsuma Hirotaka 25 Feb '13

25 Feb '13

I would like to use mpl::lambda in nest. In this case works fine. --------- typedef boost::mpl::lambda<boost::mpl::max<boost::mpl::_1,boost::mpl::_2> > my_max; typedef boost::mpl::fold< boost::mpl::vector_c<int,1,7,0,-2,5,-1> , boost::mpl::int_<6> //, boost::mpl::max<boost::mpl::_1,boost::mpl::_2> , my_max >::type r2; BOOST_MPL_ASSERT(( boost::is_same< r2, boost::mpl::integral_c<int, 7> > )); --------- However --------- typedef boost::mpl::lambda< boost::mpl::fold< boost::mpl::_1 ,boost::mpl::front<boost::mpl::_1> ,my_max >::type >::type my_max_types; typedef my_max_types::apply<boost::mpl::vector_c<int,1,7,0,-2,5,-1> >::type r3; BOOST_MPL_ASSERT(( boost::is_same< r3, boost::mpl::integral_c<int, 7> > )); ///error => becomes boost::mpl::integral_c<int, 1> --------- How to define such nest lambda in mpl?

Hi Jeremiah, I can confirm that ParallelBGL that comes with 1.53 compiles. The problem with this one is that when I try to compile the example (again from 1.53) I get this problem: /usr/local/include/boost/graph/distributed/mpi_process_group.hpp:419:28: No viable conversion from 'shared_ptr<boost::graph::distributed::mpi_process_group::impl>' to 'bool' 1) Any ideas? 2) Any location that I can find more examples of the Parallel BGL? Best, Tasos

Are there any plans (or actual implementations) for Visual Studio debug visualizers for Fusion Vectors? Thank you, Rodrigo
