test_tools.hpp problem with borland
by Robert Ramey 18 Mar '05

18 Mar '05

When compiling the following small test program with either of the borland compilers: #include <boost/test/test_tools.hpp> class base { }; int main(int argc, char *argvp[]){ BOOST_WARN_MESSAGE(true, "test warning"); } I get the following syntax error: Borland C++ 5.6 for Win32 Copyright (c) 1993, 2002 Borland c:\BoostMainCVS\libs\serialization\test\test_zmisc.cpp: Warning W8057 c:\BoostMainCVS\libs\serialization\test\test_zmisc.cpp 13: Parameter 'argc' is never used in function main(int,char * *) Warning W8057 c:\BoostMainCVS\libs\serialization\test\test_zmisc.cpp 13: Parameter 'argvp' is never used in function main(int,char * *) Error E2312 C:\BoostMainCVS\boost/test/predicate_result.hpp 60: 'base' is not an unambiguous base class of 'predicate_result::readonly_property60' in function predicate_result::readonly_property60::readonly_property60(bool) *** 1 errors in Compile *** It would seem to me that the test library needs a borland specific tweak to address this.

[iostreams] Reading a part of file
by Vladimir Prus 18 Mar '05

18 Mar '05

Hello, I wonder if the iostreams library allows me to get an istream that will read a part of a file. That is: I specify a file, start offset and end offset. The resulting istream begins reading at start offset and returns EOF when it arrives at end offset. I haven't found anything like this in the docs and I also don't know if such functionality makes sense for the library. I just need to read individual members of Unix static archives (.a files) and wanted to know if the library can help here. If not, I'll just read the data into strstream. Also: the POSIX mmap call allows one to specify start and end offset. However, the mapped_file_source does not allow to specify that, and documentation does not clearly explain why one would want to use that class at all. TIA, Volodya

[ptr_container] ptr_map throws in []
by Felipe Magno de Almeida 18 Mar '05

18 Mar '05

Hi. I dont see why ptr_map throws in operator[], I think it should have the same behavior of std::map and return a default constructed object in case it doesnt find the key. Anyway, it is just a opinion. Im using ptr_map in production code and Im obligated to use find to see if the key is already in the map, if it isnt. create one. -- Felipe Magno de Almeida UIN: 2113442 email: felipe.almeida at ic unicamp br, felipe.m.almeida at gmail com, felipe at synergy com I am a C, modern C++, MFC, ODBC, Windows Services, MAPI developer from synergy, and Computer Science student from State University of Campinas(UNICAMP).

possible optimization to adjacency_list?
by Vikram Shrowty 18 Mar '05

18 Mar '05

Hullo boost gurus, The code at detail/adjacency_list.hpp:1815 is currently like this... remove_vertex_dispatch(Graph& g, vertex_descriptor u, boost::bidirectional_tag) { //.... g.m_vertices.erase(g.m_vertices.begin() + u); //... for (v = 0; v < V; ++v) reindex_edge_list(g.out_edge_list(v), u, edge_parallel_category()); //... If I am understanding this correctly, after erasing a vertex we go through all vertices in the graph and reindex their edges/ This is because there may be edges to/from vertices after u. But this can be avoided if u was the last vertex in the graph, right? So this... //.... g.m_vertices.erase(g.m_vertices.begin() + u); //.... if (u != num_vertices(g)) { //all the re-indexing code } is a valid optimization isn't it? My graph grows and shrinks a lot (but always at highest vertex number) and this code change had a dramatic effect on runtime. -- Vikram Shrowty <vikram(a)lsil.com>

Yes. >Issue B does seem like a bug to me. On the other hand, does your fix >change >it so that //computer/printer is reported as a filesystem? That would be a >step backwards. A true return from exists() doesn't make any claim that the path is to a filesystem. Consider this program: #include <iostream> #include <fstream> int main( int argc, char * argv[] ) { std::ofstream os( argv[1] ); if ( !os ) { std::cout << "Could not open " << argv[1] << std::endl; return 1; } os << "Hello, printer!\n"; return 0; } The network name of my machine is "bgd". It has a shared printer named "NECSuper". If I invoke the above program (named "test") like this: >test \\bgd\NECSuper A page gets printed with text: "Hello, printer!" And: >test con: Hello, printer! But: >test \\bgd Could not open \\bgd >test \\bgd\no_such Could not open \\bgd\no_such So I would likewise expect calls to exists("//bgd/NECSuper" ) and exists("con:") to return true, and a call to exists("//bgd/no_such") to return false. My initial feeling about exists("//bgd") is that it should return false, but I'm not very sure about that one and would like to hear more opinions. Thanks for the comments, --Beman
