One problem I just found with your implementation (and thus with Peter's
idiom in general) is, that is doesn't provide an operator bool(). This
may sound weird, an example hopefully clears things up:
#include
using namespace std;
#include
struct A : boost::bool_testable< A >
{
bool operator!() const { cout << "operator!" << endl; return false; }
operator int() const { cout << "operator int()" << endl; return 42; }
};
int main()
{
A a;
if( a )
cout << "Hello, world!" << endl;
// int i = a;
// long l = a;
}
The code above happily compiles without warnings but it calls operator
int(). Several options come to mind:
- Document it that the class T of bool_testable< T > shall not have any
other operators that might conflict.
- Use the above alternative implementation I showed. It is not as nice as
yours/Peter's wrt error-messages, but it works as expected.
- Convince the standard committee that "explicit operator bool" is needed
:) See:

[boost] ANN: Wave - A Standard conformant C++ preprocessor (was: IntheSpirit of Challenge)
Hi all, Sorry for the somewhat lenghty post, but I hope it will be helpful for someone of you. The Boost.Spirit based C++ preprocessor iterator (the project name is 'Wave') is functionally complete now. All pp operators and pp statements are in place, the macro expansion engine works as expected. So I've released a first version: Wave V0.9.0 (please consider it a beta). Conceptually, the Wave library is a conformant (to the C++ Standard) preprocessing C++ lexer, which exposes an (forward-)iterator interface for iteration over the preprocessed C++ tokens. The main goals for this project are: - full conformance with the C++ standard (INCITS/ISO/IEC 14882/1998) - usage of Spirit for the parsing parts of the game (certainly :-) - maximal usage of STL and/or Boost libraries (for compactness and maintainability) - straightforward extendability for the implementation of additional features (as variadics and placemarkers) - building a flexible library for different C++ lexing and preprocessing needs. At the first steps it is not planned to make a very high performance or very small C++ preprocessor. If you are looking for these objectives you probably have to look at other places. Although the C++ preprocessor should work as expected and will be usable as a reference implementation, for instance for testing of other preprocessor oriented libraries as Boost.Preprocessor et.al. or for developing new pp functionalities. Tests done by Paul Mensonides showed, that the Wave library is very conformant to the C++ Standard, such that it compiles several strict conformant modules written by him, which are even not compilable with EDG based preprocessors (i.e. Comeau or Intel). The C++ preprocessor is not built as a monolitic application, it's rather a modular library, which exposes a context object and an iterator interface. The context object helps to configure the actual pp process (as search path's, predefined macros, etc.). The exposed iterators are generated by this context object too. Iterating over the sequence defined by the two iterators will return the preprocessed tokens, which are generated on the fly from the underlying input stream. The overall preprocessing is a two stage process: input stream (characters) | v +---+ | C++ lexer | (tokenizer) +---+ | v pp tokens | v +---+ |preprocess.| (macro expansion etc.) +---+ | v preprocessed C++ tokens As you can see, the input stream feeds a full C++ lexer module (the generated C++ tokens here are exposed through an iteration interface too). This C++ lexer allows the preprocessing module to work on tokens, not directly on the character stream (performance!), additionally this helps to resolve language ambiguities such as 'some_class >' or similar (see C++ standard 2.1.1.3), which is difficult to do in a one step process. During token generation the C++ lexer does physical source lines splicing into logical source lines (removal of '\\' followed by a '\n'), trigraph and alternative token recognition etc. The exposed C++ lexer iteration interface generates the preprocessing tokens consumed by the preprocessing module, which does the actual work, the preprocessing :-). After this the resulting tokens are converted to C++ tokens exposed by the preprocessor interator. To make the C++ preprocessing library modular, the C++ lexer is held completely separate and independend from the preprocessor (it is actually a template parameter). To proof this concept I've implemented two different full blown C++ lexers (one based on a re2c based C++ lexer written by Dan Nuffer some time ago [VERY fast], the other based on the Spirit based Slex dynamic lexing engine - a table driven DFA [quite compact]). Both lexers are plugable into the preprocessor through a unified iterator interface and are completely interchangeable. BTW the C++ lexers are usable standalone, without using the preprocessing part of the library. It would be very interesting to see, how the other existing and ongoing C++ lexers (see the Spirit examples) fit into the picture. So the user of the final library will be able to decide, which C++ lexer fits best his/her needs. There a couple of things left by now: - report the concatination of unrelated tokens as an error - write a more complete documentation (for now please see the samples) - test the Wave pp iterator more thoroughly There is already some documentation in place, which you may use as a starting point. If this isn't enough, there is a sample driver program for the Wave library (source: cpp.cpp etc.), which fully utilizes the capabilities of the library, so you may look at the source for further information (for now). You can find the Wave library in the Spirit CVS (cvs.spirit.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/spirit): 'spirit/wave'. Additionally there is a zip file, that can be downloaded he

Then if the underlying object of the weak_ptr gets destroyed, get() will suddenly return 0 instead of the previous pointer, so the hash function will now map the weak_ptr to a new bucket.

Yes, you can take an approach like this one, but it will cause false

[boost] C++ Standards Committee upcoming meeting
The C++ Standards Committee will be meeting in Oxford, UK, April 7th through 11th. As always, Boosters are welcome to attend as "technical experts" - See http://www.boost.org/more/cpp_committee_meetings.html. Contact me privately if you want more information. The committee's pre-meeting papers are now available. (The membership list is for members only, and so is password protected, but the rest are available to the public.) See http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2003/#pre_oxford The papers this time around include final, or close to final, proposals for adding type traits, regex, shared_ptr, bind, and a number of other bits and pieces from Boost to the Standard Library TR. While the author's of course get the main credit, everyone who participates in Boost in any way can justifiably feel proud of these proposals. --Beman ___ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost

My question is then following:
How do the boost libraries solve this problem?
I see only 2 possibilities, both not very nice.
- Silently include all stl container headers ( or at least meny of them )
- Divide the specialization into several files ( one for each container ) and
ask the user to include the specific one.
Is there some other option I don't know about?

I see this as the only possibility. It's not very nice though. This way user is
required to include a header
each time he want to use a container. It gets even more confusing, because the trait
class is supposed to
be only an implementation detail. However this way, users either accept the inclusion
of unwanted headers,
or they have to include specific header manualy.
Typical now win solution :(

I'm a Metrowerks expert, but not a boost expert. Your project is set

above code can't find ::ptrdiff_t because only defined

Practically speaking, no. At least not in a portable, conforming way.
You can (under certain limitations) provide specializations like
class A { };
namespace std { template<> class numeric_limits {}; }
but you can't otherwise add declarations to std. There are several
reasons for this limitation.
AFAIK the committee discussed the possibility to provide fwd versions
of standard headers other than but decided not to do so.

It's forbidden by the standard.

Not if they're standard containers :(

That's a different question:
template struct whatever;

{
//...
};
You never have to define the primary template, in fact.

[boost] how to avoid inclusions?
Hi Bootsters, I have a problem that, I think, is worth of discussion. When developing a library I came to a to a need of a trait class, containing properties of different containers. There is a default behavior and a specialization for different stl containers like vector, basic_string and etc. To make the specialiazation, I have to include all the headers for specific containers even, if they are not used by the user code. ( trait class template does not gets instantiated for the specific container ). I have tried to make forward declaration of std::vector and alike, but it does not work all the time, and, I think it is even forbiden by some compilers. My question is: Is there a correct way how to avoid these unwanted inclusions? Or more specificaly: How to define a partial specialization for a specific type, without including its full definition?

Re: [boost] [BGL]edge connectivity code won't compile
Hi, Volodya,
1) It works even though I haven't got to CVS.
#ifdef BOOST_NO_TEMPLATE_PARTIAL_SPECIALIZATION
template <>
struct property_traits {
typedef default_color_type value_type;
I added it here--> typedef default_color_type& reference;
typedef std::ptrdiff_t key_type;
typedef lvalue_property_map_tag category;
}
2) After it works, I set compile option back to /Gm, and it still works, the
error C1076 does not appear anymore.
Thanks.
J-S

OK, I've checked in a fix into the main trunk (see "boost/mpl/aux_/lambda_support.hpp"). If you could check if it makes the problem go away, I'll integrate the new version into the release branch.

I think it's a good idea, but I haven't found the time to look at your patches closely. I will try to do so but I can't promise any shedule. Besides: I remember that the first message about the NRVO-implementation I wrote was about June 2002 and it took several months to get it accepted.

Re: [boost] possible addition to operators library
Hi all,
Hate to sound pushy, but I've no answer on this, were the patches ok? Would
you like me to repost them?
Or should I just drop it?
Cheers

The usual exception to the above > is for money where you are working with multiple currencies. I agree that this is an important distinction which some people get confused on. Reviewing our old discussions, this was the closest thing to a concensous. Money was the one issue that was still very much up in the air. My conclusion was that money probably warranted a whole library to itself, but that many users would be happy with a simple money dimension tacked onto SI. > A couple of use cases, that I am unsure would be handled by the > current proposal: > I have a "Cost" class that records costs for different factories > in different countries. The "unit" used for each is factory > is different, eg USD for factories in US, GBP for those in UK. > ie the unit varies per instance. I agree that treating value as the dimension, but I choose to use currency as the name of the dimension, since value has other connotations to programers. There are several ways you could deal with this with my draft library. Users would choose the most appropriate way for their particular purposes. One way involves treating USD, GBP, etc. as units for the currency dimension. The other involves treating USD, GBP, etc. as qualifiers for the type of currency. One way is to decide that what you're really interested in is the value, and you're not really interested in which currency that is in. Such a user could use the currency dimension something like this... static const currency usd (1.00); static const currency gbp (1.50); currency chicago_cost = 2000 * usd; currency dublin_cost = 1500 * gbp; currency total_cost = chicago_cost + dublin_cost; cout << "The total cost is " << total_cost << " = " << total_cost / usd << " USD = " << total_cost / gbp << " GBP\n"; The advantage of this way is that the user can do arithmetic between different currencies transparently. If all the user is interested in is the value in their home currency, then this may be adequate and even desirable. Of course, there are cases where this would not be appropriate. For example, if a user wants to keep track of how much of his money is in different currencies, a common desire given that the relative values of currencies fluctuate. In such a case, I would recommend making use of my qualifier tags. Something like... char usd_label[] = "USD"; char gbp_label[] = "GBP"; typedef basic_qualifier usd_qualifier; typedef basic_qualifier gbp_qualifier; typedef basic_qualifier euro_qualifier; typedef qualified_dimension usd; typedef qualified_dimension gbp; typedef qualified_dimension euro; static const usd dollar (1.00); static const gbp gb_pound (1.00); usd chicago_cost (2000.); // just to show another way usd la_cost = 1800. * dollar; gbp dublin_cost = 1500. * gb_pound; usd total_us_cost = chicago_cost + la_cost; // same currency, so ok usd total_cost = total_us_cost + dublin_cost; // different currencies: WILL NOT COMPILE BY DEFAULT This way the compiler will prevent you from assigning or performing arithmetic between currencies (unless a user want to allow such operations and specializes the is_tag_change_ok<> and/or promote_dimension_qualifier<> templates accordingly). Now a user who wants to keep track of all her bank accounts in different currencies will do so with strongly typed variables. Of course, they might want to write a class that allows for combining these into a single value in some time dependant fashion (and most likely not possible at compile time). > A similar situation occurs for "dimensions" of physical units. > eg. if you want a list of quantities used per output weight > or output pieces, then each item in the list has different > dimensions, eg. Watt seconds/time, Litre/piece, number/kg. > In this case I obviously have to give up the type checking, > but still need to be able to record a dimension, to allow > display in appropriate units. I think this could be addressed with something like list materials; materials.push_back(100.*joule); materials.push_back(50.*liter); cout << "This will take: " for(list::iterator i = materials.begin();i!=materials.end();++i) cout << " " << *i << "\n"; Now, it's probably obvious that the 100 joules is of electricity, but may not be so obvious what the 50 liters is of. If you'd like to keep track of what those fifty liters are of, then I'd recommend you use a qualifier tag like: char garlic_label[] = "garlic"; typedef basic_qualifier
