Re: [boost] [locale] [filesystem] Windows local 8 bit encoding
by Thiel, Bjoern 30 Nov '12

Hi Artyom, > Currently win32 API supports only UTF-8 encodings, so you need to one of: > > - compile with ICU > - select std backend (because the default without ICU on windows is win32) > - disable win32 backend (in build options) so only std backend would be used. But you should note that under > Windows only MSVC has std backend support, for gcc and ANSI encodings you need ICU, Is there reason why win32 and std backend behave differently here? Using std locale get_system_locale() method works for code pages of the form 'windows-XXX'. Others e.g. 'Shift_JIS' should fail. And if you want the CURRENT locale on Microsoft Windows, I simply can't see how to get that. But why not add generator.generate( void ) giving exactly that. Best regards Bjoern.

[mpl] Determining when a type is a placeholder expression
by Edward Diener 30 Nov '12

30 Nov '12

Is there any way to determine when a type is an MPL placeholder expression ? I can determine whether a type is a metafunction class ( it has a class template called 'apply' ), but I can't think of any sure way to determine whether or not a type is a placeholder expression. Ideally if a type in one of my templates is an MPL lambda expression ( its either a metafunction class or placeholder expression ) I want to invoke it with some compile-time data, otherwise I want to do something else with that type. Of course a less elegant solution is to have another template boost::mpl::bool_ parameter telling which it is but I was hoping to avoid it if I can figure it out myself.

[context] guarded_stack_allocator
by Jeremiah Willcock 29 Nov '12

29 Nov '12

I don't know if I've missed an earlier mailing list post on this topic, but why was guarded_stack_allocator removed from Boost.Context in the trunk? What should be used instead? The simple_stack_allocator that is an example, or some other general-purpose (no-guard-page) allocation function? -- Jeremiah Willcock

[result_of] fails with clan (C++11)
by Oliver Kowalke 29 Nov '12

29 Nov '12

Hello, clang (c++11 support) fails on code like: BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(( is_same< void, typename result_of< Fn() >::type >::value)); with error: no type named 'type' in 'boost::result_of<void (&())(X &)>' is_same< void, typename result_of< Fn() >::type >::value)); ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~ ../boost/static_assert.hpp:48:50: note: expanded from macro 'BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT' # define BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT( B ) static_assert(B, #B) ^ Do you know why it fails? (other compilers like gcc, intel, msvc compile the code) regards, Oliver

boost::shared_ptr and serialization
by Klaus - Peter Weber 28 Nov '12

28 Nov '12

Hi, I am trapped in an assertion from boost::serialization and maybe someone here has an idea how to solve this. I am using Visual Studio 2008 with Boost 1.49.0 having a simple class in a shared library like : class CTest : public ICTest { friend class boost::serialization::access; template<class Archive> void serialize( Archive & ar, const unsigned int version) { ar & boost::serialization::base_object<ICTest>(*this); ar & i; }; public : CTest::CTest():i(0){}; void setI( int _i){ i = _i;}; int getI( void){ return i;}; int i; }; and an interface class like : class ICTest { friend class boost::serialization::access; template<class Archive> void serialize( Archive & ar, const unsigned int version){}; public : virtual ~ICTest(){}; virtual void setI( int _i) = 0; virtual int getI( void) = 0; }; For the CTest class is not exported and not accessible directly from out of the shared lib, an interface is provided : MY_DLL_EXPORT_MACRO ICTest* CreateCTestClassInstance( void) { return new CTest(); } typedef boost::shared_ptr<ICTest> pICTest; Instantiating the interface in my program and using CTest class instance: pICTest p1( CreateCTestClassInstance()); p1->setI( 1); works fine, so far so good. A Problem occures when I try to serialize CTest class like : { std::ofstream ofs( fileNameTXT); boost::archive::text_oarchive ar( ofs); ar & p1; // causes an assertion } This results in an assertion (->BOOST_ASSERT(false);) in basic_serializer_map.cpp in line 102. It seems to me, there is a problem with finding the derived class in the basic_serializer_map. Instantiation of CTest class directly terminates with no error, which means, the serialization basically works correctly. Does anyone have an idea how to serialize an interface class correctly ?

More on augmented trees
by Phil Endecott 28 Nov '12

28 Nov '12

Dear All, A while ago I posted a question about augmented trees: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/235004 There has also been other discussion recently in this thread: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/236103 Unfortunately I have been manically bug-hunting for the last few weeks [*] and wasn't able to follow-up properly until now. Here are my thoughts: I'm aware of 3 applications for augmented trees: - O(log N) indexing, insertion and deletion; "best of list and vector" (i.e. Countertree). - Similar where the "value" of each node is variable, so one can accumulate over any range in O(log N) time (i.e. stl_ext_adv). - Interval trees. In the first two cases, the augmented value is the sum of the augmented values in the sub-nodes. In the last case, it's the maximum of them. Is anyone aware of any other applications that are not not very similar to those, e.g. where the augmentation is some other function of the sub-nodes? Question: with only three (or two, if the first is considered a special case of the second) different kinds of augmentation, is it worthwhile to try to distil out a generic augmented tree? Here is an interesting augmented tree implementation that attempts to be generic: http://kaba.hilvi.org/pastel/pastel/sys/redblacktree.htm This seems to work by exposing the tree structure in the iterator (i.e. the iterator has parent(), left() and right() methods that return other iterators), and by requiring a Customization class that is called to updated augmented data in a node when its children change. This looks to me to be a sensible approach, but I'm still not sure that it's better than just copy-and-paste when there are only two (or three) useful ways to apply it. Thoughts anyone? Regards, Phil. [*] My recent bug-hunting has really made me value the ease of working with open-source code like Boost. What might take 5 minutes with grep instead takes weeks of back-and-forth with "technical support" (or reverse-engineering with a disassembler) - literally 3 orders of magnitude less efficient.

[generic] possible new syntax
by Lorenzo Caminiti 27 Nov '12

27 Nov '12

Hello all, I have been in contact with Matt Calabrese to design a new syntax for Boost.Generic that leverages the preprocessor EDSL techniques introduced by Boost.Contract. See the "This Library" column in the links below for a side-by-side comparison with the existing Boost.Generic syntax and the N2914 syntax. *** It's important to finalize the syntax before I start implementing the macros that will parse it: Please tell me what you think of the new syntax and ask questions if you have any. *** Container concept: http://contractpp.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/contractpp/branches/n2914_conc… EmplacementContainer concept: http://contractpp.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/contractpp/branches/n2914_conc… Allocator concept: http://contractpp.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/contractpp/branches/n2914_conc… All N2914 concepts (that's a lot!): http://contractpp.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/contractpp/branches/n2914_conc… Code, notes, to-dos, etc: http://contractpp.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/contractpp/branches/n2914_conc… NOTES * I'm assuming the library will be renamed Boost.Concepts so I'm using BOOST_CONCEPTS_... and boost::concepts::... but Matt and I have not agreed on this. * Some extra commas `,` might be needed at the end of each function and axiom definition. In this case, it might also be possible to use { ... } instead of ( ... ) around function definitions (but not for axiom definitions) at the cost of users handling unwrapped commas in function definitions using BOOST_IDENTITY_TYPE or similar. * I'm assuming a C++11 preprocessor that can correctly handle empty macro parameters (workarounds will be provided when that's not the case). Thanks, --Lorenzo
