boost::iostreams pipelines with ostream causes compilation error
by Andrew McDonald 11 May '06

11 May '06

Hi, I have just recently started using the boost::iostreams library, so apologies if my question is obvious. I have tried checking doco and mailing list to see if this issue is already covered. I am using boost_1_33_1, in Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition version 8.0.50727.42. Boost has been built with the vc-8_0 toolset. When attempting to use pipelines with filtering_streams I get an error when attempting to add an ostream as the (terminating) device for the pipeline The following (inline) test program illustrates various combinations that compile with the problem usage as the last example =============================================================== #include <boost/iostreams/filtering_stream.hpp> #include <boost/iostreams/filter/regex.hpp> #include <boost/iostreams/device/file.hpp> #include <iostream> using namespace boost::iostreams; void test(std::ostream& os, regex_filter& f) { // pipeline with no device - ok { filtering_ostream out( f | f ); out.push(os); } // explicitly pushing file sink - ok { filtering_ostream out( f | f ); out.push(file_sink("test.txt")); } // explicitly pushing ostream - ok { filtering_ostream out( f | f ); out.push(os); } // only a file sink - ok { filtering_ostream out(file_sink("test.txt")); } // only an ostream - ok { filtering_ostream out(os); } // pipeline with file sink - ok { filtering_ostream out( f | f | file_sink("test.txt") ); } // pipline with ostream - not ok !! { // compilation error filtering_ostream out( f | f | os ); } } =============================================================== The error generated is: boost/iostreams/pipeline.hpp(107) : error C2664: 'void boost::iostreams::detail::chain_client<Chain>::push<char,std::char_traits<char>>(std::basic_ostream<_Elem,_Traits> &,int,int)' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const std::ostream' to 'std::basic_ostream<_Elem,_Traits> &' with [ Chain=boost::iostreams::chain<boost::iostreams::output,char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char>>, _Elem=char, _Traits=std::char_traits<char> ] and [ _Elem=char, _Traits=std::char_traits<char> ] Conversion loses qualifiers This appears to be caused by the fact that the implementation of the push() method on struct pipeline calls chn.push(component_); where the component_ member is held by const ref. The push() method on Chain is generated with BOOST_IOSTREAMS_DEFINE_PUSH(push, mode, char_type, push_impl) which is commented with a cut-and-paste of the comment for the preceding macro, as // // Macro: BOOST_IOSTREAMS_DEFINE_PUSH_CONSTRUCTOR(mode, name, helper). // Description: Defines constructors which forward to a function // 'helper' which takes a filter or device by const reference. However via BOOST_IOSTREAMS_DEFINE_PUSH_IMPL this appears to generate a method requiring a non-const reference; ::std::basic_streambuf<CharType, TraitsType>& sb Am I missing something here ? I was wondering whether this was intentional and whether the syntactic form filtering_ostream out( f | f | os ) was meant to be supported.

Re: [Boost-users] [multi_index] thread safety

Regarding thread safety, if threads are concurrently reading, inserting, and erasing entries in a multi-index container do you have to lockguard all of these operations or can you get away with just lockguarding the inserts and the deletes? Thanks, Allen. -----Message d'origine----- De : boost-users-bounces(a)lists.boost.org [mailto:boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org] De la part de JOAQUIN LOPEZ MU?Z Envoyé : mercredi 10 mai 2006 23:36 À : boost-users(a)lists.boost.org Objet : Re: [Boost-users] [multi_index] Core dump in multi-index library !! Oh, oh. multi_index_container is *not* thread safe, so this smells like the problem --and it is not, it certainly has the potential to crash your app sooner or later. Please take into account thread unsafety extends to every member function of multi_index_container, so you'd better lockguard *every* public method of Procedure_Pool.

Template instantiation problem
by Rush Manbert 11 May '06

11 May '06

I have a template class that is designed to contain built in types or std::string types. I always need to be able to cast an instance of the class as a std::string, and I also need to be able to cast it as the parameter type with which it was instantiated. In my class definition, I have defined two cast operators, like so: (Extraneous stuff omitted) template<typename T> class MyDataObject : public MyDataObjectBase { // Cast as std::string inline operator const std::string & () { ...some code here } // Cast as T inline operator const T & () { ...some code here } } The original code was written on a Mac and compiled with Gnu, which did not complain. even when I did this: class MyStringObjectClass : public MyDataObject<std::string> { } Now, however, I have moved the code to Windows, and the Visual Studio compiler complains about the second cast operator when I define MyStringObjectClass. I thought that if I could conditionally define the cast as T operator (or the cast as std::string) I would be okay, but that means testing against the value of T with the preprocessor. I don't see how to do that, but I know that some of you folks are really good at bending the preprocessor to your will. Can anyone show me a way out of this predicament? Thanks, Rush

Hi, I am trying to use boost with Solaris 5.2 compiler. I am getting a compiler error as a result of the macor BOOST_AUX_NTTP_DECL not being defined anywhere. I would appreciate it very much if anyone could point me how I can get past this stage. Thanks, Rahu

[Wave] effect of allocation of data structures on copying data structures
by Andreas Sæbjørnsen 10 May '06

10 May '06

I need some advice regarding how I should copy the boost data structures I get from 'advanced_preprocessing_hooks.h'. The task at hand is to copy some of the data structures from Wave and store it separate form the memory Wave allocates so that after the Wave preprocessing step has finished all it's memory can be freed. Example: e.g making a copy of the 'std::vector<std::list<PreprocessingInfo::token_type,boost::fast_pool_allocator<PreprocessingInfo::token_type> > >' representing the arguments in the expansion of a macro in the function 'expanding_function_like_macro'. Syntactically it would be gre at to be able to make a copy using the operator=, but as far as I can see this is only possible if I am also using the fast_pool_allocator. If I use the fast_pool_allocator I am afraid that my copies will be put into the memory pool allocated by Wave and therefore that memory cannot be safely freed. Is this corect? .

Oh, oh. multi_index_container is *not* thread safe, so this smells like the problem --and it is not, it certainly has the potential to crash your app sooner or later.

Looking fwd to knowing your results. Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo In case you're wondering, STL implementations typically have the same level of thread safety as B.MI provides: 1. Concurrent access to different containers is safe. 2. Concurrent read-only access to the same container is safe. The rationale is that locking every public method of an STL container adds an unavoidable runtime overhead (you might not need it), and moreover it doesn't necessarily map to what constitutes *atomicity* to a given app --in your case, for instance, atomicity, and thus lockguarding, is best done at the level of Procedue_Pool interface.

Hi Joaquin, As I said, I think the problem is during addition and not delete. I have tried to build my application with debug mode and have some more printouts for you. Please let me know if this helps or not. Everything goes smooth for a while but suddenly it stops working. I even Removed delete calls but the problem still exists. One other thing, addition and deletion Is done by separate threads in my application. I am trying now to lock/unlock pool when I do addition/deletion and see whether that works or not. Let me know if you need any More information relating this. Thanks a lot for your help. Thread id (8) adds procedures in procedure pool while thread id (4) removes Procedure from procedure pool. // SOME TRACE WHILE EXECUTING LD_TRACE: (8) In Method: Procedure_Executor::handle_timeout File: `src/apps/executor/Procedure_Executor.cpp' Line: 67 LD_TRACE: (8) In Method: Access_Points::next File: `src/apps/network_element/Access_Points.cpp' Line: 48 LD_TRACE: (8) Out Method: Access_Points::next File: `src/apps/network_element/Access_Points.cpp' Line: 48 LD_TRACE: (8) In Method: Access_Points::next File: `src/apps/network_element/Access_Points.cpp' Line: 48 LD_TRACE: (8) Out Method: Access_Points::next File: `src/apps/network_element/Access_Points.cpp' Line: 48 LD_TRACE: (8) In Method: Sample_Procedure::Sample_Procedure File: `src/apps/procedure/Sample_Procedure.cpp' Line: 9 LD_TRACE: (8) Out Method: Sample_Procedure::Sample_Procedure File: `src/apps/procedure/Sample_Procedure.cpp' Line: 9 LD_TRACE: (8) In Method: Access_Point::subscribe File: `src/apps/network_element/Access_Point.cpp' Line: 181 LD_TRACE: (8) In Method: AP_TCP_Connection::subscribe File: `src/apps/connector/AP_TCP_Connection.cpp' Line: 81 LD_TRACE: (8) In Method: Procedure_Pool::add_by_id File: `src/core/procedure/Procedure_Pool.cpp' Line: 5 FIND CALL FROM ADD LD_TRACE: (8) In Method: Procedure_Pool::find_by_id File: `src/core/procedure/Procedure_Pool.cpp' Line: 41 src/core/procedure/Procedure_Pool.cpp:47 Not able to found procedure for id: 1646 LD_TRACE: (8) Out Method: Procedure_Pool::find_by_id File: `src/core/procedure/Procedure_Pool.cpp' Line: 41 Added procedure : 1646 LD_TRACE: (8) Out Method: Procedure_Pool::add_by_id File: `src/core/procedure/Procedure_Pool.cpp' Line: 5 src/apps/connector/AP_TCP_Connection.cpp:88 Subscribed sample type procedure LD_TRACE: (8) Out Method: AP_TCP_Connection::subscribe File: `src/apps/connector/AP_TCP_Connection.cpp' Line: 81 LD_TRACE: (8) Out Method: Access_Point::subscribe File: `src/apps/network_element/Access_Point.cpp' Line: 181 LD_TRACE: (8) In Method: Sample_Procedure::start File: `src/apps/procedure/Sample_Procedure.cpp' Line: 15 LD_TRACE: (8) In Method: Procedure_Timer_Handler::schedule File: `src/core/procedure/Procedure_Timer_Handler.cpp' Line: 5 Timer id 24 scheduled.

This is a very valuable piece of information, and increases my suspicions that the problem lies in your code rather than in B.MI: hashed and ordered indices share almost no code at all, so if the problem persists after switching the index type it's probably because the error lies outside the library. Of course, I might be wrong. > It seems that it is core dumping on following line: > > bool Procedure_Pool::find_by_id(Procedure * _procedure) { > LD_TRACE("Procedure_Pool::find_by_id"); > ACE_ASSERT(_procedure != 0); > ACE_DEBUG((LM_DEBUG, "PROCEDURE TO FIND: %d\n", _procedure->id())); > Procedure_By_Id::iterator it = procedure_by_id_.find(_procedure->id ()); > ACE_DEBUG((LM_DEBUG, "AFTER FIND CALL\n")); return (it != > procedure_by_id_.end()); } > > Please let me know if I am doing something wrong here.

I was consiering two possible causes for the crash in my previous post (leaving out the possibility of a bug in B.MI): 1. Procedure id inadvertently changed. 2. Procedure object deleted before having been removed from the Procedure_Pool. The fact that the crash is now happening in find seems to rule out 1, because inconsistent id's might lead to wrong results in a query, but in no case to a core dump. So, I'd say you are somehow deleting Procedure objects without removing them before from the Procedure_Pool. Maybe you can try to check this as follows: If you can locate all the places in your code where a Procedure object is deleted, i.e expressions of the form: delete p; // p is a Procedure * try instrumenting *all of them* with the following check: if(p != 0){ // Get the pool. I guess you've got some API to do this. Procedure_Hashed_Pool* pool=...; // Since we're deleting p, it musn't still be in pool! assert(pool->find_by_id(p->id()) == 0); } delete p; Do you get an assertion? If so, here's your bug. Please report back. If this doesn't clear up the problem we can explore some other paths.

[BGL] "undirected" edges in a directed graph
by Fernando Cacciola 10 May '06

10 May '06

Hi people, I'm interfacing an algorithm to a data structure via the BGL (that is, I'm presenting the DS as a BGL graph along with various property maps) My data structure is the so-called Halfedge Data Structure (HDS) used in geometric modeling. If the faces of the HDS are not considered, a HDS is a form of Planar Directed Graph (PDG) with the particularity that for any two adjacent vertices p and q, there is an edge from p to q and an opposite edge from q to p. Obtaining the "opposite" edge of any edge is O(1) The structure is called HalfedgeDS because there is always a pair of "Joint Opposite Directed Edges", called halfedges, between p and q : p->q and q->p. Any HDS can be mapped as a BGL graph by simply specializing graph_traits and the global functions accordingly. It just needs as an extension an "opposite_edge" operation. With the "opposite_edge" extension this works like a charm, but there is still one small thing that is natural in the HDS that I'm not sure how to best map to the BGL: Since between any two adjacent vertices p and q there are exactly 2 joint opposite directed edges (that is, two halfedges): p->q and q->p, there is always a very well defined UNDIRECTED view of the HDS: simply considering an arbitraty one of each of the two joint opposite directed edges between any two adjacent vertices. Any edge here (which is a directed edge) can be used an "undirected" edge due to the availability of the opposite_edge() operation. There is at least one operation that needs such an undirected view of the HDS: iterate (not traverse but iterate) all "edges" of the HDS (not "halfedges"). This is of course possible with an ordinary dgraph but much more expensive as it requires the algorithm to filter out halfedges whose opposite was already iterated. Typical instances of a HDS store opposite halfedges pairwise, thus, iterating over all halfedges but stepping 2 at a time, iterates over "undirected edges" very efficienty. This requires a special iterator that is different from the halfedge iterator (and is tyipically provided by HDS models). >From a concept POV I would say that a HDS is a new BGL graph concept. It would call it a "JODE" Graph instead of a "HDS" Graph becasue in the HDS jargon an "edge" is a pair of "halfedges" while in the BGL an "edge" is the actual edge (a directed edge in this case). Such a JODE Graph concept would include the "opposite_edge" operation and the definition of "undirected_edge_iterator", which would iterate over 1 out of the 2 opposite halfedges (Joint Opposite Directed Edges), along with the "undirected_edges" accesor. So far so good... nut I have a problem: where do I put the "undirected_edge_iterator" type?? AFAICT I cannot add an additional type to graph_traits, right? Is subclassing graph_traits a good alternative? Or is there a better way? TIA -- Fernando Cacciola SciSoft http://fcacciola.50webs.com/

Hi Joaquin, I delete procedure in only two places. And as follows in handle_timeout and handle methods. And I grepped my trace output and handle_timeout never called. So all deletion will be only in one place called "handle" method of that procedure itself. I am going to try it out the changes you mentioned. This is just to let you know how I create and delete procedure objects. Thanks Priyank // PROCEDURE and PROCEDURE DELETER #include "../../procedure/Sample_Procedure.h" int Sample_Procedure::ID = 1000; Sample_Procedure::Sample_Procedure (Access_Point * _ap, int _recv_timer): ap_(_ap), state_(Procedure_State_Enum::INITIAL), type_(Procedure_Type_Enum::SAMPLE_TYPE), recv_timer_(5), recv_timer_handler_(new Procedure_Timer_Handler(recv_timer_)) { LD_TRACE("Sample_Procedure::Sample_Procedure"); id_ = ++Sample_Procedure::ID; } int Sample_Procedure::start() { LD_TRACE("Sample_Procedure::start"); // Create fake message to send char data[4]; memcpy(data, &id_, 4); boost::scoped_ptr<ACE_Message_Block> mb(new ACE_Message_Block(4, ACE_Message_Block::MB_DATA, 0, data)); mb->wr_ptr(4); // end creating fake message // schedule timer for incoming message recv_timer_handler_->schedule(this); // start thread that sends out message after certain interval // send link continuity status request Connection * ap_tcp = (Connection*) ap_->connection(Connection_Type_Enum::AP_TCP); if (ap_tcp) { if (ap_tcp->send(mb) != 0) { ACE_ERROR ((LD_ERROR, "%N:%l Error in sending data.\n")); return -1; } ACE_DEBUG((LM_INFO, "SENT=> P_ID: %d ", id_)); ACE_HEX_DUMP((LM_INFO, data, 4)); } } void Sample_Procedure::handle_timeout() { LD_TRACE("Sample_Procedure::handle_timeout"); // update statistic for failed procedure // REALLY IMPORTANT // MAKE SURE TO DO FOLLOWING // remove this object from connection/s pool // cancel receive handler // delete this object delete this; } int Sample_Procedure::handle(boost::shared_ptr<ACE_Message_Block> _msg_block) { LD_TRACE("Sample_Procedure::handle"); // Log data first ACE_DEBUG((LM_INFO, "RECV<= P_ID: %d ", id_)); ACE_HEX_DUMP((LM_INFO, _msg_block->rd_ptr(), 4)); // update statistic for passed procedure // REALLY IMPORTANT // MAKE SURE TO DO FOLLOWING // remove this object from connection/s pool ap_->unsubscribe(Connection_Type_Enum::AP_TCP, this); // cancel receive timer handler recv_timer_handler_->cancel(); // delete this object.

This is a very valuable piece of information, and increases my suspicions that the problem lies in your code rather than in B.MI: hashed and ordered indices share almost no code at all, so if the problem persists after switching the index type it's probably because the error lies outside the library. Of course, I might be wrong. > It seems that it is core dumping on following line: > > bool Procedure_Pool::find_by_id(Procedure * _procedure) { > LD_TRACE("Procedure_Pool::find_by_id"); > ACE_ASSERT(_procedure != 0); > ACE_DEBUG((LM_DEBUG, "PROCEDURE TO FIND: %d\n", _procedure->id())); > Procedure_By_Id::iterator it = procedure_by_id_.find(_procedure->id ()); > ACE_DEBUG((LM_DEBUG, "AFTER FIND CALL\n")); return (it != > procedure_by_id_.end()); } > > Please let me know if I am doing something wrong here. Also, let me > know if you need any more information. Please see debug output at the > end of the email. I was consiering two possible causes for the crash in my previous post (leaving out the possibility of a bug in B.MI): 1. Procedure id inadvertently changed. 2. Procedure object deleted before having been removed from the Procedure_Pool. The fact that the crash is now happening in find seems to rule out 1, because inconsistent id's might lead to wrong results in a query, but in no case to a core dump. So, I'd say you are somehow deleting Procedure objects without removing them before from the Procedure_Pool. Maybe you can try to check this as follows: If you can locate all the places in your code where a Procedure object is deleted, i.e expressions of the form: delete p; // p is a Procedure * try instrumenting *all of them* with the following check: if(p != 0){ // Get the pool. I guess you've got some API to do this. Procedure_Hashed_Pool* pool=...; // Since we're deleting p, it musn't still be in pool! assert(pool->find_by_id(p->id()) == 0); } delete p; Do you get an assertion? If so, here's your bug. Please report back. If this doesn't clear up the problem we can explore some other paths.
