[iostreams] boost::ostreams::file_descriptor_sink closing file handle
by Scott Quiring 20 May '10

20 May '10

Hi, I'm using file_descriptor_sink to obtain a stream to a given file handle. It's important that the file remain open past the lifetime of that object, so I send in false as the second parameter to the constructor (close_on_exit). It seems the file is being closed anyway. Here is an example: #include <iostream> #include <boost/iostreams/stream.hpp> #include <boost/iostreams/device/file_descriptor.hpp> int main(int argc, const char *argv[]) { std::cout << "foo" << std::endl; { boost::iostreams::stream<boost::iostreams::file_descriptor_sink> stream(fileno(stdout), false); stream << "bar" << std::endl; } std::cout << "baz" << std::endl; return 0; } Here we expect foo bar baz to be written, when only foo bar is written. Note that the output is the same regardless of whether true or false is sent into the constructor. Is this a boost bug, or is there something I'm missing here? I'm using gcc 4.3.4 on Ubuntu 10.04 if that makes any difference. Thanks, Scott Quiring

boost/numeric/ublas/matrix_sparse.hpp does not play well with RICE
by John O. Woods 20 May '10

20 May '10

Hi there, Cross-posted this to the RICE listserv, but they cannot reproduce. I can reproduce it on karmic and lucid (ubuntu), separate machines, in boost 1.43.0. RICE is a C++ interface for Ruby (not unlike boost python). If I include boost numeric ublas matrix_sparse and either rice/Data_Type.hpp or rice/Constructor.hpp, I get a lot of errors -- even if I do nothing with them. For example, this works: #include <boost/numeric/ublas/matrix_sparse.hpp> int main() { return 0; } So does this: #include <rice/Data_Type.hpp> int main() { return 0; } But if I put both #includes in, it gives the following errors: $ make g++ -I. -I. -I/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i486-linux -I. -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -I/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rice-1.3.2/ruby/lib/include -fPIC -fno-strict-aliasing -g -g -O2 -fPIC -Wall -g -c main.cpp In file included from /usr/local/include/boost/numeric/ublas/storage_sparse.hpp:23, from /usr/local/include/boost/numeric/ublas/vector_sparse.hpp:16, from /usr/local/include/boost/numeric/ublas/matrix_sparse.hpp:16, from main.cpp:5: /usr/local/include/boost/numeric/ublas/storage.hpp:60: error: expected primary-expression before ‘)’ token /usr/local/include/boost/numeric/ublas/storage.hpp:65: error: expected primary-expression before ‘)’ token /usr/local/include/boost/numeric/ublas/storage.hpp:79: error: expected primary-expression before ‘)’ token /usr/local/include/boost/numeric/ublas/storage.hpp: In member function ‘typename ALLOC::size_type boost::numeric::ublas::unbounded_array<T, ALLOC>::max_size() const’: /usr/local/include/boost/numeric/ublas/storage.hpp:174: error: expected primary-expression before ‘)’ token /usr/local/include/boost/numeric/ublas/storage.hpp:174: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘ruby_xmalloc’ /usr/local/include/boost/numeric/ublas/storage.hpp:174: error: expected primary-expression before ‘)’ token /usr/local/include/boost/numeric/ublas/storage.hpp: In member function ‘typename ALLOC::size_type boost::numeric::ublas::bounded_array<T, N, ALLOC>::max_size() const’: /usr/local/include/boost/numeric/ublas/storage.hpp:357: error: expected primary-expression before ‘)’ token /usr/local/include/boost/numeric/ublas/storage.hpp:357: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘ruby_xmalloc’ /usr/local/include/boost/numeric/ublas/storage.hpp:357: error: expected primary-expression before ‘)’ token In file included from /usr/local/include/boost/numeric/ublas/vector_sparse.hpp:16, from /usr/local/include/boost/numeric/ublas/matrix_sparse.hpp:16, from main.cpp:5: /usr/local/include/boost/numeric/ublas/storage_sparse.hpp: At global scope: /usr/local/include/boost/numeric/ublas/storage_sparse.hpp:240: error: expected primary-expression before ‘)’ token make: *** [main.o] Error 1 ruby_xmalloc does not seem to exist in that file, so I gather it's having some kind of syntax hiccup that is leaking into later #includes. Here are other relevant details: $ sudo gem list --local |grep rice rice (1.3.2, 1.3.1) I seem to get the same bug with both boost 1.41 and boost 1.43, though sometimes I have trouble telling which one I'm including. Should this be a bug report, or am I missing something stupid? *(I'd be eternally grateful if you'd reply to me as well as to the list.)* Thanks so much, John PS: extconf.rb below. Works fine for other projects, as long as I don't use matrix_sparse. require 'rubygems' require 'mkmf-rice' dir_config("boost") have_library("stdc++") have_library("boost") have_library("boost_filesystem") if RUBY_VERSION =~ /1.9/ then $CPPFLAGS += " -DRUBY_19" end create_makefile('main') -- John Woods Marcotte Lab Center for Systems and Synthetic Biology The University of Texas at Austin

[BGL] Upper limits on graph size
by Adam Spargo 20 May '10

20 May '10

Hi, I am working on genome assembly software and hope that the BGL can save me a lot of development time, but before I make the investment in learning the library can somebody advise me on whether it is appropriate. My initial test sets will be quite small. However in the end I will want to scale up to on the order of a billion nodes, quite sparsely connected. We have the RAM and many CPUs, but will the code scale up this far? Thanks in advance, Adam. -- Dr Adam Spargo High Performance Assembly Group email: aws(a)sanger.ac.uk Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute Tel: +44 (0)1223 834244 x7728 Hinxton, Cambridge CB10 1SA Fax: +44 (0)1223 494919 -- The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute is operated by Genome Research Limited, a charity registered in England with number 1021457 and a company registered in England with number 2742969, whose registered office is 215 Euston Road, London, NW1 2BE.

[MPL] what is my base class?
by John Dlugosz 20 May '10

20 May '10

I'm writing a class template, say C<T>, that has essentially different features depending on a classification of type T. So, I implemented Ca and Cb as befitting the two categories, and then make that transparent to the user by making a stub for C that inherits from either of those two, using boost::mpl::if_ to choose between them. However, the constructors have to be brought down manually. To "inherit" them, they need to be forwarded to the base class: C (...args...) : Ca (...args...) {} The problem is, I can't easily name the base class here in the base initialization list. I'm not even sure repeating the if_ metaexpression here would work, since the init list doesn't even like typedefs but wants the literal name of the class. Did I paint myself into a corner?

[BGL] Graph of an Iterator
by Hossein Haeri 20 May '10

20 May '10

Dear all, Is there any way to deduce the graph a graph-iterator is iterating over? So, for example for: typedef graph_type::vertex_iterator iterator; iterator begin, end; tie(begin, end) = vertices(g); is there anything like graph_type gg = graph_of(begin); so that gg == g? TIA, --Hossein

[regex] validating expressions
by Jeff Flinn 20 May '10

20 May '10

Is this the correct way to validate a regex expression? bool validateExpression(std::string e) { using namespace boost; return !expression.empty() && !regex(e, regex_constants::no_except).empty(); } This passes all of my existing unit tests except for the following strings which boost::regex reports as valid. "[[[A-Z]]" "[A-Z]??" Both Qt's QRegExp and http://www.regexplanet.com/simple/index.html report the first is invalid. Qt's QRegExp reports the second as invalid, while http://www.regexplanet.com/simple/index.html report it as valid. Is boost::regex right or remiss? Is there a better on line regex validator? Thanks, Jeff

boost::lambda::bind - how to address the member variable in the expression?
by Archie14 20 May '10

20 May '10

Example: struct A { int i; }; class C { public: void store(int i); }; boost::ptr_vector<A> lst; C c; std::for_each (lst.begin(), lst.end(), boost::lambda::bind(&C::store, c, boost::lambda::_1.i)); Question: construct boost::lambda::_1.i is invalid. I understand why it is so, but can't find a way to reference member variable in this case. Any advise or referral to the specific paragraph in boost::lambda documentation is appreciated. Thanks.

[regex] function to escape regex control characters like QRegExp::escape?

Is there a function to escape regex control characters like RegExp::escape already in boost::regex or perhaps boost::expressive? Thanks, Jeff
