[ConceptGCC] for Douglas Gregor
by Andy Little 20 Oct '06

20 Oct '06

Hi Doulas, I sent this privately but have a feeling it may have got sopammed out. If you got it, apologies for abusing the boost list. Hi Douglas, Here is a sample test, but IMO the concept in main should fail, else it is not possible to replace a traits class, hence I have had to use one in the following: regards Andy Little //-----------------------------//line1 //defines result types for binary ops and for static types with no runtime functions #include <quan/meta/binary_operation.hpp> namespace quan {namespace meta{ // is a type mpl::void_? // (binary_operation returns mpl::void for invalid ops, hence the need to query ) namespace detail{ auto concept NotMplVoid<typename T> { typename type = T; }; concept_map NotMplVoid<boost::mpl::void_> { typedef void type; }; } auto concept IsNotMplVoid< typename T> { where std::SameType<detail::NotMplVoid<T>::type,T>; }; auto concept OperatorPlus<typename T1, typename T2>{ typename type = binary_operation<T1, plus, T2>::type; where IsNotMplVoid<type>; }; // should I need to do this ?... see below template <typename T1, typename T2> where OperatorPlus<T1,T2> struct operator_plus{ typedef OperatorPlus<T1,T2>::type type; }; }} #include <quan/meta/rational.hpp> int main() { using quan::meta::rational; // succeeds but shouldnt AFAICS // as this is invalid op and type is mpl::void_ here typedef quan::meta::OperatorPlus<rational<1>,int >::type res; // line 45 // fails as expected but why does the Concept version above succeed? typedef quan::meta::operator_plus<rational<1>,int >::type res; // line 49 } ConceptGCC output: concept_test.cpp: In function 'int main()': concept_test.cpp:49: error: template arguments for 'struct quan::meta::operator_plus<quan::meta::rational<1, 1>, int>' do not meet the requirements of the primary template concept_test.cpp:49: note: no concept map for requirement 'quan::meta::OperatorPlus<quan::meta::rational<1, 1>, int>' concept_test.cpp:49: error: 'type' in class 'quan::meta::operator_plus<quan::meta::rational<1, 1>, int>' does not name a type ConceptGCC --version: conceptg++ (GCC) 4.1.1 (Indiana University ConceptGCC alpha 3) Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

[rational][operators] VC6/7 supported? (Trying to clear regressions)
by John Maddock 20 Oct '06

20 Oct '06

What's the state of support for VC6/7 in Boost.Operators? I'm asking because I started investigating the remaining regressions for Boost.Rational and I've come up against a road-block: I can get everything to work (at least I think so), but not the comparison operators, so: my_rational_1 != my_rational_2 doesn't compile with VC6/7, but does with everything else. I'm assuming that's because these compilers don't find the necessary friend-functions in the operators base classes, or is there something else going on here? The error message is: rational_test.cpp(261) : error C2678: binary '!=' : no operator defined which takes a left-hand operand of type 'class boost::rational<short>' (or there is no acceptable conversion) ../../boost/test/test_case_template.hpp(73) : while compiling class-template member function 'void __thiscall basic_rational_suite::rational_comparison_test<short>::test_method(void)' BTW is the use of Boost.Operators by the rational lib new to this version? If so we might just have to mark up VC6/7 as unsupported. Thanks, John.

[array] Construct a variable-length array with "alloca"
by XHChen＠winbond.com 20 Oct '06

Dear boost interesters: "alloca" maybe a suitable tool to construct a variable-length array. The attachment demonstrates the class for variable-length array, most of the codes in which are copied from original "array.hpp" in boost libraries. Hope it is useful.

What I mean is overloading operator() with the types of the tuple so you can call the dispatcher like a function. Does that clarify?

Re: [boost] GIL Image Processing Library - Undefined Behavior
by Ullrich Koethe 20 Oct '06

20 Oct '06

Hi again, since there was no response to my earlier questions about undefined behavior, I'd like to bring this up again: GIL makes extensive use of reinterpret_cast and gil_reinterpret_cast. The former is, for example, used in code similar to the following: short * imagedata = new short[3*image_size]; rgb16s_t * rgbdata = (rgb16s_t *)imagedata; gil_reinterpret_cast is defined as template <class OutPtr, class In> OutPtr gil_reinterpret_cast(In * p) { return static_cast<OutPtr>(static_cast<void *>(p)); } I suspect that undefined behavior results in both cases. IIRC, there is no guarantee that the memory layout of an rgb array is equal to that of a corresponding scalar array with three times as many elements (although this will probably work in practice). Likewise, a static_cast from void * is only allowed back to the original pointer type, not to a different type. Can someone more familiar with the fine points of C++ confirm these suspicions? If they are true, I think the issue should be resolved before inclusion into boost.

GIL Review: example files coming...
by Lubomir Bourdev 20 Oct '06

20 Oct '06

Since several reviewers requested this, we are working on splitting the GIL examples as separate unit example files and consolidating the ones we made due to people's requests. We will provide an "example" directory that compiles the files we have discussed so far: - convolution - affine_transform - packed_pixel (defining 565 RGB pixel) - histogram - x_gradient - mandelbrot (defining a synthetic view) - interleaved_ptr (how to construct your own pixel pointer and reference) (if we get to these:) - vigra_integration - agg_integration (from Joel) We are also going to provide the regression tests (which you can get today if you install ASL) Hopefully these (or most of them) will be available sometime tomorrow, together with a Makefile and jpeg-only dependency. (You can still access all of the above but it is inconvenient) Lubomir

Re: [boost] GIL Image Processing Library - Undefined Behavior
by Matt Doyle 19 Oct '06

Hi Ulli, Section 5.2.10-3 states that this usage is implementation defined, i.e. not portable. That said, if we refer to Sutter[2005] section 92. After he finishes with how bad it is to lie to the compiler he recommends that if it's absolutely necessary it should be done via a void pointer. Given that MHO would be that if the cast really is unavoidable then gil_reinterpret_cast is the correct way to do it (by the book). As for your other example -> rgb16s_t * rgbdata = (rgb16s_t *)imagedata; That's not even C++ is it :-) Matt > [mailto:boost-bounces@lists.boost.org] On Behalf Of Ullrich Koethe > Hi again, > > since there was no response to my earlier questions about undefined > behavior, I'd like to bring this up again: > > GIL makes extensive use of reinterpret_cast and > gil_reinterpret_cast.

[program_options] Need workaround for broken stdlib
by Michael Marcin 19 Oct '06

19 Oct '06

Hello, I use program options under 32-bit Windows and I like how easy it is to work with. However I need to support a Windows Mobile 5 based platform that doesn't have a <locale> header. Is there a possible work around for this problem or do I need to roll my own config file solution? P.S. it does have a <locale.h> header which I've attached for reference.
