Producing graphs for documentation
by Paul A Bristow 10 Jan '07

10 Jan '07

In producing documentation for John Maddock's Math Toolkit, we have used a C++ program to output csv files, with titles in row 1, and data points below, usually several columns, to produce . We then imported this into RJS Graph (version 3.90.10), did a lot of fiddling each time to set the axes, labels, colours, point sizes etc, and finally exported a .ps file. Finally (phew!) we opened with Adobe Photoshop, changed size and saved as .png files (sample attached). These were then referenced from Boost Quickbook to make them appear in the html and pdf. There has got to be a better way!!! Do Boosters have any suggestions/experience on how to automate this process, ideally so that a C++ program directly outputs a .png file.

Parallel/MPI: Renaming the library directories?
by Doug Gregor 09 Jan '07

09 Jan '07

Back when we started writing the Message Passing library, we decided to put it into the "parallel" subdirectory (then the "mpi" sub-sub- directory), because we were hoping that "parallel" could become a top- level categorization for various parallel-programming libraries... threads, mpi, shared memory, etc. That may happen some day (when we manage to break Boost into pieces), but for now it's just a pain. Users need to using the longish namespace "boost::parallel::mpi", file names "boost/parallel/mpi", and run bjam with "bjam --with- parallel" (rather than "--with-mpi"). So, unless I hear screams, I'm going to move libs/parallel into libs/ mpi, boost/parallel into boost/mpi, and simplify its underlying directory structure a bit. When the time comes to split up Boost, and if it involves deeper namespaces, we'll make the change again then. For now, simpler is better. Cheers, Doug

The standard also says that the compiler can reorder anything it wants to as long as the sequence of volatile reads and writes and calls to library IO functions is unchanged (1.9/5-6). i.e. the compiler only has to make it appear that all previous side effects are completed at a sequence point. Without volatile the compiler can assume that no other thread refers to the variables. So, you certainly do need volatile here. In Christ, Steven Watanabe

[program_options] compile error in libs/program_options/src/convert.cpp
by Glenn Schrader 09 Jan '07

09 Jan '07

I get the following error while compiling libs/program_options/src/convert.cpp. libs/program_options/src/convert.cpp:100: instantiated from here libs/program_options/src/convert.cpp:48: warning: missing braces around initializer for 'int [6]' Line 48 is: std::mbstate_t state = {0}; The problem is simple but wasn't immediately obvious. The definition of mbstate_t from the cwchar header is: typedef struct { int __fill[6]; } mbstate_t; The int[6] in the error message is actually coming from the first element in mbstate_t. A change that makes the error go away is: std::mbstate_t state = {{0}}; Since I found cwchar in the include/c++/4.1.1 directory the layout of this structure probably isn't guaranteed to be the same across compilers or compiler versions. Perhaps the following would be better: std::mbstate_t state; memset( &state, 0, sizeof(state) ); Has anybody noticed whether this structure has the same definition across compilers? (i.e. gcc, VC, SunCC, etc) -glenn

boost.graph python bindings build against RC-1-34
by John Reid 09 Jan '07

09 Jan '07

Hi, Has anyone had any joy building these against the latest RC_1_34_0? I think the support for boost.build v1 has been removed from the latest CVS version. The bgl-python library still uses v1 Jamfiles though. Even if I update these to v2 jamfiles I still get compilation errors: bgl-python\boost/graph/python/resizable_property_map.hpp(56) : error C2039: 'get_store' : is not a member of 'boost::vector_property_map<T,IndexMap>' Any advice on the easiest way to proceed? Maybe I should download 1_33_1 and compile against that. Does anyone have any pre-built binaries for python 2.5? Thanks, John.
