Although there probably needs to be some kind of abstraction-busting pass-through mechanism, I see it as the exception rather than the rule. Another issue is transparency. My employer's drawing framework supports semi-transparency in the form of an alpha channel. This is used by us for things like anti-aliasing, and by users for subtle colour blends. Some printers can support transparency directly and some cannot. We found we needed a relatively elaborate architecture to hide that detail from application drawing code. I'm a bit concerned about the scope of this boost project. Our drawing framework is pretty huge. -- Dave Harris, Nottingham, UK

automatic garbage collecting algorithm and its implementation in c++
by yilin yang 27 Dec '04

27 Dec '04

hi, everybody i've just designed and coded a garbage collecting infrastructure named u_canforget. it was uploaded onto the news group at boost.yahoo. the main idea is that we count the reference to track the life-cycle of the given object. as the new operator was overloaded to statisfy this requirement. the other important concept was the reference object. with the syntax represented by the redefined macros, the codes may be written in a very simple way with relationships automatically constructed, objects are freed without delete operater can be realized as well. i would keep tracking this thread, if there are any thought about this algorithm. thx for your advices. your's yilin. --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? 150万曲MP3疯狂搜，带您闯入音乐殿堂美女明星应有尽有，搜遍美图、艳图和酷图 1G就是1000兆，雅虎电邮自助扩容！

spirit fileiterator always uses std_iterator on posix
by dieMumiee＠gmx.de 26 Dec '04

26 Dec '04

Hi, Found that code in boost/spirit/iterator/file_iterator.hpp template < typename CharT = char, typename BaseIterator = #ifndef BOOST_SPIRIT_FILEITERATOR_WINDOWS fileiter_impl::std_file_iterator<CharT> #else fileiter_impl::mmap_file_iterator<CharT> #endif > class file_iterator; BOOST_SPIRIT_FILEITERATOR_POSIX which is defined a few lines above is never used. Are there any issues with the posix-mmap code? It "worked" here, I modified the code to : template < typename CharT = char, typename BaseIterator = #if defined(BOOST_SPIRIT_FILEITERATOR_WINDOWS) || defined(BOOST_SPIRIT_FILEITERATOR_POSIX) fileiter_impl::mmap_file_iterator<CharT> #else fileiter_impl::std_file_iterator<CharT> #endif > class file_iterator; Regards, Andreas Pokorny -- +++ Sparen Sie mit GMX DSL +++ http://www.gmx.net/de/go/dsl AKTION f�r Wechsler: DSL-Tarife ab 3,99 EUR/Monat + Startguthaben

I am using ublas with types other then built in scalars (like "double" or "int"). Typical jobs: prod(matrix<double>,vector<v3d<double> >) or triangular_solve(matrix<double>,vector<v3d<double> >). In order to be able to do it, I have made partial specialization of "promote_traits" template in namespace "boost::numeric::ublas" for my classes. This works. Is this technique good ? Or uBLAS intended only for built in types ? See attached files. Is it good to intervene to ublas namespace, like done in file "vnd.h" at the end. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=207586&aid=1091151&group_… ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

Lambda Question
by Brian Braatz 24 Dec '04

24 Dec '04

Is is possible to, given a functor generated as a result of a lambda bind expression, pull the return type from the lambda functor? (still digging through the lambda bind code and have not found the answer to this yet. I sent a previous post with sample code that shows what I am trying to do) Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Brian

(previous mail with sample code below) -----Original Message----- From: boost-bounces(a)lists.boost.org [mailto:boost-bounces@lists.boost.org] On Behalf Of Brian Braatz Sent: Wednesday, December 22, 2004 8:03 AM To: boost(a)lists.boost.org Subject: [boost] Help \ Advice requested on getting the return type from aLambda fctor I wrote up the simple example that shows what I am trying to figure out Basically, I am trying to pull the deduced return type (or explicitly passed as a template param in lambda bind()) in my template. If I have a function that is receiving a functor, I would like to be able to take that functor and pull the RETURN TYPE out of it. Lets say I have a function that returns a string: std::string ReturnAString() { return "this is a string"; } And then here is my template function (code below does not compile) template < typename TFUNCTOR> TFUNCTOR::result_type CallFctorDeduceRet( TFUNCTOR & functor) { return functor(); } Now here is my bind call std::cout << ( bind<std::string>(&ReturnAString)); Is there a way to GET to the return type in the Lambda fctor that was generated with a BIND call? I would like to be able to pull the <std::string> from the bind call and use it in the template function. It is not a problem for my template function to be dependant upon lambda bind. I have been going through the lambda code. And while it is brilliant, I am having a bit of difficulty figuring out what I am looking at (grin). Any help or direction is greatly appreciated FULL SAMPLE CODE HERE: template <typename CURRIEDTYPE> // Id class for currying type without creating the object class Id { public: typedef CURRIEDTYPE TYPE; }; // Explictly pass IN a return type template < typename TFUNCTOR, typename TRET> TRET CallFctorPassInRet ( TFUNCTOR & functor, Id<TRET> & ) { Id<TRET>::TYPE TRet; TRet = functor(); return TRet; } std::string ReturnAString() { return "this is a string"; } // try to get return type from the lambda fctor // Below does not compile- but it is along the lines of what I // WANT to do- note that I am trying to get from the Lambda functor the deduced return type template < typename TFUNCTOR> TFUNCTOR::result_type CallFctorDeduceRet( TFUNCTOR & functor) { return functor(); } void Test_LambdaRetDeduction() { std::cout << "CallFctorPassInRet returns [" << CallFctorPassInRet( bind(&ReturnAString), Id<std::string>()) << "]" << std::endl; // below is what I want to make work std::cout << "CallFctorDeduceRet returns [" << CallFctorDeduceRet( bind<std::string>(&ReturnAString)) << "]" << std::endl; }

Problems compiling Boost.Test example with gcc under Linux
by Noel Llopis 24 Dec '04

24 Dec '04

I suspect the answer to this is going to be really simple, but I've been trying to figure it out for several hours and I'm ready to give up (I couldn't even find a mention of the problem in the mailing list archives). All I want to do is use the Boost Unit Test library with gcc under Linux. I have Boost 1.32 correctly installed (I've used other libraries successfully without any problems). Now I simply try to compile the simplest possible example: http://www.boost.org/libs/test/example/unit_test_example1.cpp This is what I get: gcc -o test boost_test.cpp boost_test.cpp:11: error: `boost::unit_test' has not been declared boost_test.cpp:11: error: expected nested-name-specifier before "test_suite" boost_test.cpp:11: error: `test_suite' has not been declared boost_test.cpp:23: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before '*' token boost_test.cpp:23: error: expected `,' or `;' before '*' token boost::unit_test has not been declared??? How is that possible? The compiler is correctly including the boost/test/unit_test.hpp file from the first line of the program. What am I missing? It must be something really, really stupid. I can tell :-) Happy holidays everyone! --Noel Games from Within http://www.gamesfromwithin.com
