Are there any some utilities that helps to show where a exception is from?
by Peng Yu 22 Oct '08

22 Oct '08

Hi, If there is an error happens, I want to throw an exception, with the error string of the following format (similar to what assert would give). main.cc:12: int main(): some message I'm wondering if boost has such facility. I'm a new boost developer, I want to understand how existing boost libraries take care of runtime errors? Thanks, Peng

[RangeEx] Using istream_range?
by Robert Jones 22 Oct '08

22 Oct '08

Hi All I'd really appreciate an example of the use of istream_range from the Boost.Range library. I tried this #include <iostream> #include <iterator> #include "boost/range.hpp" #include "boost/range/istream_range.hpp" #include "boost/range/algorithm.hpp" void f( int i ) { std :: cout << i << std :: endl; } int main( ) { typedef std :: istream_iterator< int > in; boost :: for_each( boost :: istream_range< in >( std :: cin ), f ); return 0; } and other variations, but I don't think any of them are right! Do I really have to specify three template type parameters? The signature of the template is namespace boost { template<class Type, class Elem, class Traits> inline range<std::istream_iterator<Type, Elem, Traits> > istream_range(std::basic_istream<Elem, Traits>& in) { return range<std::istream_iterator<Type, Elem, Traits> >( std::istream_iterator<Elem>(in), std::istream_iterator<Elem>()); } } Thanks, Rob.

Re : Selective Unit Testing.

Thanks Gennadiy for the immediate & direct response. i can't seem to find a way to specify dependencies for Auto Registered use cases.. cos they are registered during static initialization which would occur before u had a chance to specify dependencies. I'm thinking of the possiblility of tranversing the hierarcy from the master test suite, apparently, this seems non trivial, "i got lost in the plenitude of Macros being used" if there could be a way of manipulating the automated Registration test suites when invoking the initialization function Thanks.

Boost::statechart: state reaction returned result
by Rajpal Dangi 22 Oct '08

22 Oct '08

Could someone suggest me the recomended way of communicating error from fsm to the fsm user application? Assume state reaction unable to process event due to error and returns with discard_event(). As application calls process_event() to post an event which is of type "void". How do I make sure that my event was processed successfuly and not discarded? Thanks, Rajpal

Submit a library that compute the roots of a polynomial upto the 4th order
by Peng Yu 22 Oct '08

22 Oct '08

Hi, This is my first time that I wan to submit a library to boost. On http://www.boost.org/development/submissions.html, it mentioned boost vault, without explaining what it is. Can somebody let me know what it is? What is the difference between boost vault and boost sandbox? Do I need to submit my library to vault or sandbox? Where shall I put it? Thanks, Peng

Actually, to be concise, you're invoking undefined behavior. The Standard doesn't guarantee any execution order of operations in this context. The only thing which is guaranteed is, that the operation executed by erase() uses the initial value and afterwards start has been incremented (well, whatever happens if you increment an iterator after erasing the element it's pointing to).

Actually, to be concise, you're invoking undefined behavior. The Standard doesn't guarantee any execution order of operations in this context. The only thing which is guaranteed is, that the operation executed by erase() uses the initial value and afterwards start has been incremented (well, whatever happens if you increment an iterator after erasing the element it's pointing to).

Actually, to be concise, you're invoking undefined behavior. The Standard doesn't guarantee any execution order of operations in this context. The only thing which is guaranteed is, that the operation executed by erase() uses the initial value and afterwards start has been incremented (well, whatever happens if you increment an iterator after erasing the element it's pointing to).

[MPL] wrapper for if_ selecting integral_c
by Jordans, R. 22 Oct '08

22 Oct '08

Hi, I would like to suggest an addition to Boost MPL. In the project I am working on I often need to select integral values, either using MPL or home-brew template logic. Where MPL is preferred due to consistency. This requires me to do something like: int value = if_<condition, int_<value1>, int_<value2> >::type::value; Which (when adding namespaces to the above) is too much typing in my opinion and reduces readability of my code. Would it be useful to add a new variant of if_ to Boost MPL that would enable the following? (by combining the syntax of if_ and integral_c) type value = if_integral_c<condition, type, value1, value2>::value Best regards, Roel Jordans
