[smart_ptr] BOOST_SP_USE_QUICK_ALLOCATOR and multi-threading broken on gcc-4.0.2
by Juergen Hunold 07 Dec '05

07 Dec '05

Hi ! I'm using smart_ptr (read shared_ptr) and BOOST_SP_USE_QUICK_ALLOCATOR to speed my program up. My programs broke when "boost/detail/quick_allocator.hpp" Revision 1.9 was commited to HEAD. I've been able to reproduce this behaviour with the smart_ptr testcase and Boost.Build V2 which the attached path "smart_ptr.diff" to libs/smart_ptr/test/Jamfile.v2 I'm cross-posting this to boost-build because the simple command bjam --v2 threading=multi/define=BOOST_SP_USE_QUICK_ALLOCATOR did not work. See build-error.txt for full backtrace. The gcc error is ../../../boost/detail/quick_allocator.hpp:176: error: conflicting declaration 'boost::detail::lightweight_mutex boost::detail::allocator_impl<size, align_>::mutex_init' ../../../boost/detail/quick_allocator.hpp:81: error: 'boost::detail::allocator_impl<size, align_>::mutex_init' has a previous declaration as 'boost::detail::lightweight_mutex * boost::detail::allocator_impl<size, align_>::mutex_init' Please find the error message "error.txt" attached. System: Debian Unstable/testing gcc -v : gcc version 4.0.3 20051201 (prerelease) (Debian 4.0.2-5) I've tried the obvious fix by adding the missing asterisk (*) gcc complains about but then gcc bails out with ../../../boost/detail/quick_allocator.hpp:176: error: expected primary-expression before 'allocator_impl' (see fix-error.txt) I've checked my copy of "C++ Templates" for static template member (page 97/98) but have no other clue and no copy of the holy standard... Question: Is this a bug or a feature ? Question: Is there any way to add tests for BOOST_SP_USE_QUICK_ALLOCATOR and treading=multi to Boost.Test (V2) in order to catch such a regression. Question: Can someone reproduce this ? Question: If this is a bug, whats the fix ? Yours, Jürgen -- * Dipl.-Math. Jürgen Hunold !

[math] floating point classification - testing help wanted
by John Maddock 07 Dec '05

07 Dec '05

For a while now I've been meaning to clean up my floating-point classification code to provide a more reliable way of testing for Nan's and infinities. The new TR1 complex number code could really use this to improved it's reliability. I believe Robert Ramey was looking for this functionality for serialisation, and frankly it's hard to write any serious floating point code without it. So... attached is a first version of an fpclassify implementation for Boost (if there's interest). As long as this one works (not a given unfortunately) then it's obviously trivial to sit isnan, isinfinity etc on top of it. So.... I'm looking for testers to run the attached program on as many different platforms/compilers as possible, basically I want to see if there's any mileage in this or if I'm on to a looser with this code! Please build the test program with optimisations turned on: many compilers make non-IEEE arithmetic assumptions once you tell them to optimise the code. Tested so far: Win32: VC6: Can't detect signaling NaN's (_isnan is broken). VC7, 7.1, 8: OK Intel 7, 8, 9: OK provided you're not using the VC6 runtime. GCC cygwin: OK. Borland 5.6.4: So broken I don't know where to begin :-( HP-UX: gcc-3.4.2: OK. aCC: OK (native fpclassify broken for long doubles, but portable version works). Tru64: cxx : OK (but can't test infinities/NaN's as they're not supported? Suse Linux: gcc-3.3.3 : OK. Many thanks, John.

[shared_ptr] constructor accepting auto_ptr
by Yuval Ronen 07 Dec '05

07 Dec '05

Hi. There's a shared_ptr constructor that accepts an auto_ptr<Y>&. Shouldn't it accept auto_ptr<Y> by value rather by non-const reference? It seems to me that the reference does not add anything, but only causes a VC warning (level 4): --- warning C4239: nonstandard extension used : 'argument' : conversion from 'std::auto_ptr<_Ty>' to 'std::auto_ptr<_Ty> &' A reference that is not to 'const' cannot be bound to a non-lvalue --- when calling this constructor with a temporary auto_ptr. This warning is a good thing and I don't want to disable it. Thanks, Yuval

[numeric][ublas] / [math][quaternion]
by Job Mulder 07 Dec '05

I have some requests for the uBlas and quaternion libraries, call it my christmas wish-list ;) These are perhaps different topics, but in my current project, they're sort of interwoven. Feel free to pick my mail apart. background: I'm writing a Kalman filter with uBlas, based on Matlab code written by my colleagues. I encountered a few points of improvement (IMO). Maybe these points are not really supposed to be part of uBlas, in which case I would like to see them in some other component ;) wish-list: *** ublas * a solution to the error at the bottom of the mail... *assign an array of values to a vector (of known length) *assign an array of values to a dense matrix (of known size, serialized input) *reverse of these operations *assign a single value to all elements of a vector (of known length) *assign a single value to all elements of a matrix (of known size, serialized input) *assignment of a part of a matrix to a same-size part of another matrix. currently, this has to be done with a number of range-operators. I've written a small wrapper for this, but I think there is a better / cleaner way. template <typename value_type> void assignSubMatrix(boost::numeric::ublas::matrix<value_type>& target, int target_row, int target_col, const boost::numeric::ublas::matrix<value_type>& source, int source_row, int source_col, int cols, int rows) { using namespace boost::numeric::ublas; matrix_range<Matrix> src_range(source,range(source_row,source_col), range(source_row+rows-1,source_col+cols-1)); matrix_range<Matrix> tgt_range(target,range(target_row,target_col), range(target_row+rows-1,target_col+cols-1)); tgt_range = src_range; } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- *** quaternion * direct assignment to component 0..3 of the quaternion, i.e. quat.q0 = 1.0 * assignment from a vector / array of values * quaternion to (3x3) rotation matrix (common orientation representation) * quaternion to euler angles (common aerospace orientation representation) * reverse of these operations PS: I have the code for transforming a quaternion to rotation matrix or euler angles if anyone wants to pick this up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I encountered this error with the ublas library when compiled with Visual C++ 2005 Express.

More bad line endings?
by Daryle Walker 07 Dec '05

07 Dec '05

As I'm wont to do, I compared the folders created by the 1.33.0 and 1.33.1 archives to see the changes myself. I used the Metrowerks CodeWarrior Pro 8.3 IDE on my Mac OS X 10.4 system for the comparison. The IDE complained about mismatched line endings for the file ROOT/boost/iostreams/chain.hpp, but I don't know which version (1.33.0 or 1.33.1) of the file has the bad line endings. I didn't check every changed file, so there may be others with this problem. -- Daryle Walker Mac, Internet, and Video Game Junkie darylew AT hotmail DOT com

[Tokenizer] A hybrid between char_separator and escaped_list_separator
by Zvi Tarem 07 Dec '05

07 Dec '05

It would be very useful to have a tokenizer that operates similar to the regular char_separator, but also handles delimiters in quoted portions like escaped_list_separator. For example: Input: model name = "My Model" label="A short label = A good label" parts= 3 Output: <model> <name> <=> <My Model> <label> <=> <A short label = A good label> <parts> <=> <3> Regards, Zvi Tarem (zvi.tarem(a)cern.ch)
