gnuplot-iostream won't compile - c++

I was wondering if someone could help me with this.
I've retrieved the source code for the gnuplot-iostream interface from http://www.stahlke.org/dan/gnuplot-iostream/. However, when I attempt to compile the code using the command:
]$ cmake .; make
I get the following compiler error
/.../gnuplot-iostream.h: In constructor ‘Gnuplot::Gnuplot(const std::string&)’:
/.../gnuplot-iostream.h:427: error: ‘never_close_handle’ is not a member of ‘boost::iostreams’
I'm using Scientific Linux 6.2 (kernal 2.6.32-220.23.1.el6.x86_64), g++ 4.4.6, and have boost libraries installed (/usr/include/boost/iostreams/ exists).
Any assistance would be very much appreciated.

enum file_descriptor_flags was added in boost::iostreams only in 1.44.0.
enum file_descriptor_flags
{
never_close_handle = 0,
close_handle = 3
};

So, the solution is simply update the boost library (thanks ForEveR).
If however, like me, you do not have the access to update the libraries on your system you should note that I was able to force compilation and obtain basic functionality by simply replacing the two occurrences of boost::iostreams::never_close_handle in the gnuplot-iostream.h file with 0.

How to solve comiler error: 'v_bias' is not a namespace-name

Sort briefing what I am trying to do:
I want to use vnode-lp on my windows PC. I’ve installed MinGW. I’ve installed the necessary dependencies like LAPACK & BLAS libraries as well as Profil/BIAS. The installation of all libraries passed the make and make install process without errors. I hope (!) I’ve managed to install it correctly.
Now the Problem:
Now I’ve tried to get a simple program compiled with basically northing in it just an #include “vnode.h”. First I tried it with Microsoft Visual Studio. Since this gave me several errors I tried to compile it with g++ using MinGW. This gives me the same errors. It starts with
./matrix.w:90:17: error: ‘v_bias’ is not a namespace-name
The Question:
How to include vnodelp into an c++ program and compile it without errors under windows, am I missing something?
Off-topic:
I am trying to get this running for over a week now and don’t know what to do anymore.
C++ is most definitely not C, and packages designed for C++ will never compile and run as C code. So, what you're trying to do really can't be done unless you do some fancy stuff by creating a .dll or something like that, and even then I think you wouldn't get the functionality you want. Why not write your code in C++ and compile with g++ or a similar compiler?
I have managed to finally solve this issue. In case someone has the same problem here is the solution.
I have missed something in the call. Here is the full call that has worked for me:
g++ -o2 –Wall –Wno-deprecated –DNDEBUG – DPROFIL_VNODE – DMAXORDER=50 –I(path to profil bias)/include –I(path to profil bias)/include/BIAS –I(path to profil bias)/src/Base –I(path to vnodelp)/FADBAD++ -I../include –DNDEBUG –c –o (filename).o (filename).cc
g++ -L(path to profil bias)/lib –L(path to lapack)/lib –L../lib –o (filename) (filename).o –lvnode –lProfil –lBias –llr (path to lapack)/lib/liblapack.lib (path to lapack)/lib/libblas.lib –lstd++
funfact:
This also complies with gcc instead of g++

math_functions.hpp not found when using CUDA with Eigen

I have some code that is heavily dependent on Eigen. I would like to optimize it with CUDA, but when I am compiling I get:
[tcai4#golubh4 Try1]$ nvcc conv_parallel.cu -I /home/tcai4/project-cse/Try1 -lfftw3 -o conv.o
In file included from Eigen/Dense:1,
from Eigen/Eigen:1,
from functions.h:8,
from conv_parallel.cu:10:
Eigen/Core:44:34: error: math_functions.hpp: No such file or directory
I think math_functions.hpp is a file from CUDA. Can someone help me figure out why nvcc cannot find it?
edit: I am using CUDA 5.5 and Eigen 3.3, except from linking Eigen and fftw3 library, I did not use any other flags(as you can see from my code).
I encountered this issue while building TensorFlow 1.4.1 with Cuda 9.1, and strangely math_functions.hpp existed only in include/crt.
Creating a symlink from cuda/include/math_functions.hpp to cuda/include/crt/math_functions.hpp fixed the issue:
ln -s /usr/local/cuda/include/crt/math_functions.hpp /usr/local/cuda/include/math_functions.hpp
The reason nvcc cannot find the file in question is because that file is part of the CUDA Math library, which was introduced in CUDA 6. Your almost 4 year old version of CUDA predates the release of the Math library. Your CUDA version doesn't contain said file.
You should, therefore, assume that what you are trying to do cannot work without first updating to a newer version of the CUDA toolkit.
Creating symlink sometimes causes other complication.
You can try replacing
// We need math_functions.hpp to ensure that that EIGEN_USING_STD_MATH macro
// works properly on the device side
#include <math_functions.hpp>
with
// We need cuda_runtime.h to ensure that that EIGEN_USING_STD_MATH macro
// works properly on the device side
#include <cuda_runtime.h>
in
/usr/include/eigen3/Eigen/Core,
which works for me.
The reason why "math_functions.hpp" cannot be found is because "math_functions.hpp" has been renamed to "math_functions.h". So you just need to go to
/usr/include/eigen3/Eigen/Core
and change "math_functions.hpp" to "math_functions.h"

error: ‘fileno’ was not declared in this scope

I am running Cygwin on windows 8, attempting to compile the source code for a game I would like to mod. Unfortunately I am running into some errors while building involving the fileno function. After doing some googling It seems like the problem might have to do with c++11 support (I'm not really sure what this means). Most of the solutions people have found involve adding some option like -std=c++0x or -std=c++11 when compiling, but my attempts to add the options into the makefile have been unsuccessful, and I don't know if that's whats causing the problem anyways. I'll include the code snippet that's throwing the error and a link to the makefile as it is quite large. Any advice you could give me would be great.
code that throws error:
time_t file_modtime(FILE *f)
{
struct stat filestat;
if (fstat(fileno(f), &filestat))
return 0;
return filestat.st_mtime;
}
Link to Makefile
it is being hosted on github
EDIT: After getting some advice I poked around the makefile and found five instances where the -std option was used, playing around with them hasn't changed anything. Is the problem with my Cygwin configuration? I installed the packages I was told I would need in the installation guide for the game I am building.
Changing the -std=c*** in your makefile to -std=gnu++0x should fix your problem.
If you don't know what c++11 is you're most likely not using it anyway.
Also if you need c++11 support you can also do: -std=gnu++11 instead of -std=gnu++0x
For windows...
fileno() is deprecated: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/reference/posix-fileno?view=vs-2017
use _fileno() instead: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/reference/fileno?view=vs-2017

tao_idl returns with unspecified error when compiling using gcc

Hi I'm quite new to ACE ORB(TAO). My exisiting system compiles fine with xcc compiler in solaris. Now I got to use gcc compiler instead. When I try to compile my source code using gcc, I get the following error
/sbcimp/run/pd/ACE/6.0.7_x86/64Opt/bin/tao_idl: preprocessor "CC" returned with an error
xmake: /sbcimp/run/pd/ACE/6.0.7_x86/64Opt/bin/tao_idl: error 1 (0x1)
Why does tao_idl return this error? All I know is tao_idl compiles idl sources for ACE ORB. This error doesn't provide me any other clue regarding the reason behind this error.. Where can I find further details about this error?
I dont see much help in the net for tao_idl compiling. Can someone shed some light on this
TAO_IDL uses CC as preprocessor, do you have that available in your PATH when invoking TAO_IDL, just try to execute CC directly from the commandline.
In addition to #Johnny Willemsen's answer, I thoguht of adding a bit of more details so that it would be helpful for someone.
TAO_IDL uses an external pre processor.
If the macro TAO_IDL_PREPROCESSOR is defined, then it will use that.
Else if the macro ACE_CC_PREPROCESSOR is defined, then it will use that.
Otherwise, it will use "cc"
The problem that I had was that I was trying to use g++ as the precompiler, without setting any of the above macros. Hence TAO_IDL was always looking for cc.
Solution:
export TAO_IDL_PREPROCESSOR=/rtcigp/run/pd/gcc/32-bit/4.4.1/bin/g++
then include g++ binary into PATH
export PATH="$PATH:/rtcigp/run/pd/gcc/32-bit/4.4.1/bin"
This makes g++ as the preprocessor.

Visual Studio C++/OpenCL project using Boost not compiling with g++ on Linux

First some background - I have three VS2010 C++/OpenCL projects that compile and run fine on Windows 7 64-bit. I've been trying to compile and run each of them on Linux 64-bit (Ubuntu/Debian). The first two are compiling and running on linux and don't really use any external libraries. The third uses only Boost 1.50.0 and isn't compiling using the same method as the first two. So first let me go through what I did to get the first two to work.
I extracted only the source from the myriad of folders.
I ported windows specific code to linux specific code.
I wrote a bash script to generate the g++ command with all sources to compile them.
I ran the compile script to generate an output target file.
The bash script is as follows.
#!/bin/bash
SOURCE=""
for i in `ls *.h *.cpp *.hpp`; do
SOURCE+="${i} "
done
COMMAND="g++ -I/home/junkie/downloads/boost_1_51_0 -o out ${SOURCE} -L/opt/AMDAPP/lib/x86_64/ -I/opt/AMDAPP/include -lOpenCL -fpermissive"
echo -e "\n"
echo -e "${COMMAND}"
echo -e "\n"
$COMMAND
exit $?
And it generates and runs a command similar to following.
g++ -I/home/junkie/downloads/boost_1_51_0 -o out blah.cpp blah.h foo.hpp baz.cpp etc.cpp -L/opt/AMDAPP/lib/x86_64/ -I/opt/AMDAPP/include -lOpenCL -fpermissive
I compile using the following command.
./compile.sh &> log; echo $?; grep -ci error log; wc -l log
Now you may be wondering why I've adopted such unconventional and redundant means of getting a C++ project to compile and run on linux. Well because I'm new to the linux c and c++ toolchain and this was the quickest and simplest route I could figure out to get the job done and it did get the first two projects up and running. However, the third uses boost and this method isn't working and I need your help in figuring out what all these strange errors are.
The errors I'm getting are not actually from the project code but instead from Boost and AMD's opencl libraries code which is strange because the other projects were using opencl too and those worked fine.
Some examples of boost errors are below.
foo.hpp:2331:1: error: unterminated argument list invoking macro "BOOST_PP_CAT_I"

The boost includes I'm Using are as follows.
#include <boost/preprocessor/punctuation/paren.hpp>
#include <boost/preprocessor/punctuation/comma.hpp>
#include <boost/static_assert.hpp>
#include <boost/type_traits/is_same.hpp>
#include <boost/type_traits/is_base_of.hpp>
#include <boost/mpl/not.hpp>
#include <boost/mpl/int.hpp>
#include <boost/mpl/logical.hpp>
#include <boost/mpl/eval_if.hpp>
#include <boost/mpl/identity.hpp>
#include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp>
#include <boost/array.hpp>
So, finally, my questions are as follows.
1) What is the root cause of these errors in light of the building method I'm using and how do I resolve this problem? Does order of files or library inclusion matter? I'm using a local source download of boost as part of my g++ command as instructed by boost documentation rather than prebuilt binaries as I'm not using anything that requires prebuilt binaries.
2) I realise that my way of building things is pretty primitive. I'm learning make and I've seen some recommendations to use cmake and kdevelop which I need to look into. The primary problem with using make is that these projects weren't written with make in mind so I'm not aware of the dependency graph between source files to create the makefile (if I'm thinking correctly; I'm still fairly new to it). If you have any recommendations of how to do things better please do enlighten me.
Thanks.
I finally managed to overcome this problem and here I provide a brief account of how. To be clear I don't know what the root cause of the original problem was. In other words - I don't know why the problem occurred. All I'm saying is that my workaround allowed me to resolve the issue and move onto other problems (compile time errors).
Essentially, to reiterate, the problem was that for whatever reason a project using boost wasn't compiling on Linux because all instances of the use of the BOOST_PP_CAT() function produced the following error.
error: unterminated argument list invoking macro "BOOST_PP_CAT_I"
For whatever reason the compiler wasn't able to correctly process the use of this function but was able to process the use of other boost functions such as BOOST_PP_LPAREN(), BOOST_PP_RPAREN() and BOOST_PP_COMMA. The problem looked almost certainly related to the preprocessing stage where the combined use of the aforementioned boost functions was resulting in an unterminated argument list.
To elaborate on the nature of the relevant code (which was not written by me thankfully) the prior developers had essentially used boost preprocessor functions to create a DSL that they could then re-use multiple times to generate a list of functions. It would have seemed a lot easier to me to simply write the functions directly but anyway that's another concern.
My work around was to change the relevant section of code so that it didn't use any BOOST_PP_CAT() functions but ultimately defined the exact same functions as before. I did this by substituting the use of BOOST_PP_CAT() with the code that was being generated by it. This overcame all instances of the error quoted above but left me with hundreds of other compile time errors in my efforts to migrate this project from windows to linux.
Although this was a very specific and unusual question with an equally specific and unusual answer I wanted to feed this back to dispel the mystery behind this problem. As to why this particular function was failing to preprocess/compile on linux but passing on Windows I don't know but would very much like to know. I can only assume it is a fundamental difference in the way VC++ performs preprocessing as opposed to g++ and clang or more specifically perhaps a difference in the order of resolution of nested functions in preprocessor directives. Who knows. Anyway, thanks for your help guys.
The unterminated argument list invoking macro error suggests a lacking closing parenthesis. Use your editor's parenthesis matcher to check it. Be sure that your source files are in Unix format, not in DOS format (e.g. with \n à la Unix, not with\r\n à la MSDOS, at each end-of-line). Use dos2unix if needed.
Otherwise, don't forget that you can run g++ -Wall -C -E -H -I/home/junkie/downloads/boost_1_51_0 yoursourcecode.cc to get the preprocessed form of yoursourcecode.cc, and, by redirecting that command, you can inspect that preprocessed form with the editor of your choice (like emacs).
As I commented, learn to use Gnu make (and if in trouble debugging your Makefile, which you should edit with a good editor like emacs, use remake -x to debug it).
And the -I/home/junkie/downloads/boost_1_51_0 looks very suspicious: even if Boost is often a header only library, it has, as far as I remember, an installation procedure on Unix (and Linux distributions often package Boost libs). You should install your Boost libraries as documented (and after having configured them), and likewise for OpenCL.
