[iterator + lambda] transform_iterator and lambda expression
by Vladimir Prus 04 Jun '04

04 Jun '04

I'm again trying to use FP in C++, and having problems. What I wanted to do was: for_each(predecesor(v, g), /* BLL expression */ ); where predecessor(..) returns a pair of 'transform_iterator' instances. The simplest example which illustrates the problem is: struct functor { typedef int result_type; int operator()(int i) const { return i+1; }; }; transform_iterator<functor, vector<int>::iterator> it(v.begin()); (cout << _1)(*it); This does not compile, because operator* of transform_iterator return rvalue which can't be bound to non-const reference that operator() of the lambda expression accepts. Of all workarounds suggsted on BLL docs, only break_const is applicable to my case (I want to pass non-const references to the lambda, so const_parameters won't do), and break_const is scary. It looks like a serious problem with using FP, so I wonder what can be done. Maybe, transform_iterator should have yet another template parameter telling if it should store a value internally, and return reference (i.e. lvalue) in that case? It need not be enabled by default, but functions like my 'predecessor' above would make use of that extra template parameter. - Volodya

transform_iterator( Iterator const& x ) ???

I'm not sure why I never saw this on the list, but since I saw the moderation request and I figure you deserve a reply... boost-owner(a)lists.boost.org writes: > From: "Sascha" <vudu(a)gmx.net> > Subject: boost::transform_iterator( Iterator const& x ) ??? > To: <boost(a)lists.boost.org> > Date: Thu, 3 Jun 2004 00:22:18 +0200 > > hi > > a simple question about the construction of > boost::transform_iterator. > > currently there are two ctors implemented: > > transform_iterator(); > transform_iterator(Iterator const& x, UnaryFunction f); > > why does boost::transform_iterator(Iterator const& x) not exist leaving > the function object default constructed? Are you looking at the source code or the documentation? Oh, I see you're doing as you should and looking at the documentation! Well it turns out that the source code actually contains this constructor: explicit transform_iterator(Iterator const& x) : super_t(x) { // don't provide this constructor if UnaryFunction is a // function pointer type, since it will be 0. Too dangerous. BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(is_class<UnaryFunction>::value); } > can I add it without getting in trouble? No, but we can fix the documentation ;-) -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com

[Boost-bugs] [ boost-Bugs-966496 ] [BGL] Asymmetry between read_graphviz() and write_graphviz()
by SourceForge.net 04 Jun '04

04 Jun '04

Bugs item #966496, was opened at 2004-06-04 06:02 Message generated for change (Tracker Item Submitted) made by Item Submitter You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=107586&aid=966496&group_i… Category: graph Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Jeremy Siek (jsiek) Summary: [BGL] Asymmetry between read_graphviz() and write_graphviz() Initial Comment: During some experiments with the BGL-GraphViz interface, I observed a significant asymmetry between a given DOT graph input with boost::read_graphviz() and output with boost::write_graphviz() (without changing any attributes). Given the input DOT file <metro.dot> (which is, of course, much longer with the full set of information), the elementary BGL program <metro.cxx> transforms this into the output DOT file <metro_boost.dot> (the three files are attached to this submission). It seems that somewhere on the way, the graph and node (and edge) attributes get clobbered. Note that even the graph name "metro" gets replaced by the name of the (last) subgraph "ligne_1", and /all/ node attributes get mixed up. This seems to be somewhat similar to the recent edge-related problem posted by Hideaki Hiraki to the boost-users list. I have not (yet) tried to mess with the graphviz parser code, so I am asking here for help. Thanks.

BOOST_NO_STDC_NAMESPACE and LIBCOMO

Commeau I'm building with como-win32 with the libcomo library. It seems that BOOST_NO_STDC_NAMESPACE is set to true with this combination and that it should be set to false for this combination. Robert Ramey

Implementation with ublas where possible. Other generic implementations. Specialize for performance I guess. I haven't looked at uBLAs for a while but there was an interface to ATLAS for performance and also a partial wrapper for LAPACK. Not sure if the use of ATLAS or otherwise is or can be made to be automatic at compile time, but this would give us most of what we need. Generic implementations with pluggable special high performance specializations wherever possible.
