[Quantlib-dev] Non-copyable KnuthUniformRng

[Slava M. <sm...@li...>]

The following declaration in KnuthUniformRng effectively makes this class non-copyable:

std::vector<double>::const_iterator ranf_arr_ptr, _arr_sentinel;

However, KnuthUniformRng is not declared as such. As a result, any attempt to call next() of a copy of any temporal instance of KnuthUniformRng ends up in a crash (let me know if further elaboration is needed). I don't believe this is an intended design. There are two possible ways to fix: either to keep indices instead of const_iterator, or to implement a copy constructor and an assignment operator. I personally prefer the former, but can provide any fix community will choose.

[Quantlib-dev] VC++ 10 Boost includes?

[Dominick S. <dsa...@De...>]

On the recent addition of solution files for VC++ 10, has anyone
found a simple way to add additional include directories
and libs? This used to be done using Tools/ Options
/ Projects and Solutions / VC++ Directories, and in
this way the settings would apply to all projects in a solution.

But this feature has been deprecated in VC++ 10, and instead
user property sheets are supposed to be used, but I don't
see how to do this so that it applies to all projects in
a solution (globally).

This can be done on a project-by-project basis using
Properties / Configuration Properties / VC++ Directories,
but this would have do be done for each project, and
for each configuration (Debug, Release, x32, x64, etc.).
Very tedious.

A solution that works for the Express edition is of
course preferred.

Thanks,
Dominick

Dominick,

>> But this feature has been deprecated in VC++ 10, and instead user

I found several links about, like
http://efreedom.com/Question/1-2629421/Use-Boost-Visual-Studio-2010 and
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vsproject/archive/2009/07/07/vc-directories.aspx.
However, I didn't find anything like Microsoft.Cpp.<Platform>.user or
Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.user in VC++ Express 2010 so I opened C:\Users\<your
login>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\MSBuild\v4.0\Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.user.props
and add the below

I appreciate if someone sends a screenshot of such
(Microsoft.Cpp.<Platform>.user or Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.user) options in the
GUI once they are supposed to be the right way to setup includes globally.

<PropertyGroup>
        <IncludePath>C:\Users\<your
login>\Development\include\boost-1_44;$(IncludePath)</IncludePath>
</PropertyGroup>

Thanks a lot,

Yes, I had to go through the same ordeal.  After much searching, what I
did was:
- select View/Property Manager from the IDE menu;
- open the subtree for any project and configuration;
- you'll find a Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.User property page inside.
- right-click and select Properties.  Inside the dialog there's the good
old "VC++ directories" option.

The trick is that this particular page is shared, so when you edit it in
one project/configuration they all should see it (I don't remember if I
restarted the IDE after modifying it, though.)

You're right.  Indices instead of iterators are fine with me.

Thanks,
