Statechart serialization
by mbrodeur65 04 Mar '15

Hi, I'm looking for a solution to serialize boost::statechart objects. I'm aware that this feature is on the statechart library todo list but was wondering if there are any workaround to achieve this with the latest boost release (1.34) ? thanks for your help ! mbrodeur65 -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Statechart-serialization-tf4131326.html#a11749139 Sent from the Boost - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Statechart] How to decide between post_event and process_event atrun time ?
by Philippe DAVID 22 Jul '14

22 Jul '14

Hi, I have a method in which I want to post/process an event. The thing is, this method can be called from outside the state machine (so I need to call process_event), or indirectly by a reaction of the state machine (in this case I must call post_event since process_event is not reentrant). I don't want to write 2 distinct methods to do this (one that calls post, and the other process), I would much rather prefer adding a 'if' in my method that tells me if I have to call process_event or post_event (if I'm being called indirectly by the state machine or not). Is there a way to do this with statechart ? regards, Philippe

[asio] resolver::cancel() problem
by Matthew Edwards 14 Mar '14

14 Mar '14

In my application (and a separate test program) it seems as though the cancel() function on the resolver does not work as intended. For async resolves, the cancel functionality should abort them immediately and pass an 'operation aborted' error code to the callback handler. In my tests, I will resolve an invalid domain (this causes the resolve to take a few seconds, to demonstrate the problem), sleep for 100ms, then call cancel on the resolver object. No cancelling actually occurs, and the callback is simply triggered after a few seconds with a "No host found" error code, not the expected operation aborted. Has anyone experienced this before, or know how I might be using the resolver incorrectly?

can't get first example in boost tutorial to work
by 7stud 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

I'm trying to install boost on mac osx 10.4.7. I followed the tutorial "Getting Started on Unix Variants" found here: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/ more/getting_started/unix-variants.html Following the instructions in the tutorial, I installed boost in /usr/local as instructed, so my directory structure is: /usr/local/boost_1_34_1/boost But when I run the first example in the tutorial: #include <boost/lambda/lambda.hpp> #include <iostream> #include <iterator> #include <algorithm> int main() { using namespace boost::lambda; typedef std::istream_iterator<int> in; std::for_each(in(std::cin), in(), std::cout << (_1 * 3) << " " ); } I get the error(among others): error: boost/lambda/lambda.hpp: No such file or directory If I change the include path to: #include </user/local/boost_1_34_1/boost/lambda/lambda.hpp> I get the error(among others): error: boost/lambda/core.hpp: No such file or directory But core.hpp is in the lambda directory: /usr/local/boost_1_34_1/boost/lambda$ ls algorithm.hpp control_structures.hpp lambda.hpp bind.hpp core.hpp loops.hpp casts.hpp detail numeric.hpp closures.hpp exceptions.hpp switch.hpp construct.hpp if.hpp I'm using the Xcode 2.4 IDE to run my C++ programs. I also tried to execute the program from the command line with the original include path: #include <boost/lambda/lambda.hpp> but I get the same error: ~/2testing/dir1$ g++ prog1.cpp prog1.cpp:1:35: error: boost/lambda/lambda.hpp: No such file or directory prog1.cpp: In function 'int main()': prog1.cpp:8: error: 'boost' has not been declared prog1.cpp:8: error: expected namespace-name before ';' token prog1.cpp:8: error: '<type error>' is not a namespace prog1.cpp:11: error: '_1' was not declared in this scope I get the same errors again with the full include path: #include </user/local/boost_1_34_1/boost/lambda/lambda.hpp> $ g++ prog1.cpp In file included from prog1.cpp:1: /usr/local/boost_1_34_1/boost/lambda/lambda.hpp:14:33: error: boost/lambda/core.hpp: No such file or directory /usr/local/boost_1_34_1/boost/lambda/lambda.hpp:21:52: error: boost/lambda/detail/operator_actions.hpp: No such file or directory /usr/local/boost_1_34_1/boost/lambda/lambda.hpp:22:61: error: boost/lambda/detail/operator_lambda_func_base.hpp: No such file or directory /usr/local/boost_1_34_1/boost/lambda/lambda.hpp:23:63: error: boost/lambda/detail/operator_return_type_traits.hpp: No such file or directory /usr/local/boost_1_34_1/boost/lambda/lambda.hpp:26:45: error: boost/lambda/detail/operators.hpp: No such file or directory /usr/local/boost_1_34_1/boost/lambda/lambda.hpp:30:46: error: boost/lambda/detail/member_ptr.hpp: No such file or directory prog1.cpp: In function 'int main()': prog1.cpp:8: error: 'boost' has not been declared prog1.cpp:8: error: expected namespace-name before ';' token prog1.cpp:8: error: '<type error>' is not a namespace prog1.cpp:11: error: '_1' was not declared in this scope What path should I be using? Or, should I set an environment variable somewhere?

[multi_array] operator= requires resize - why?
by Markus Werle 04 Jun '12

04 Jun '12

Hi! IMHO the behaviour of operator= for multi_array is a little bit broken. A lot of preconditions required: template <typename ConstMultiArray> multi_array_ref& operator=(const ConstMultiArray& other) { [...] // make sure the dimensions agree assert(other.num_dimensions() == this->num_dimensions()); assert(std::equal(other.shape(),other.shape()+this->num_dimensions(), this->shape())); Besides the fact that I get mad about asserts instead of exceptions (please change this to a way users may choose) why do we have such an odd behaviour here? >From page 1, line 3 of the docs I cite: "The interface design is in line with the precedent set by the C++ Standard Library containers" - this is not true for operator=, since std::<container>::operator= works fine for me all the time _without_ any resize. Could we please change the behaviour of multi_array::operator= to take care of resize where in need to? IMHO operator= should result in a true copy ignoring previous state. Markus

MSVC Visualizers Update
by Filip Konvička 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

Hi all, I've just updated the Boost visualizers wiki page at https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/DebuggerVisualizers I updated the visualizer for Boost.MultiIndex, which did not work since Boost 1.35. I also added new visualizers for Boost.DateTime (ptime and time_duration) and a simple boost::shared_ptr visualizer. The visualizers are available for checkout via SVN at https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/boost_docs/subprojects/DebuggerVisu… Cheers, Filip

Asio unhandled exception
by Łukasz Majewski 20 May '11

20 May '11

Hello, I created a server single thread async (linux) and clinet (win). Every time client is close while server is writing to the socket connected to this client exception appears: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost::exception_detail::clone_impl<boost::exception_detail::error_info_injector<boost::system::system_error>>' what(): Transport endpoint is not connected Aborted and server is terminated. I dont know why this exception is unhandled. int main( int argc, char** argv ) { try { boost::asio::io_service io_service; quotation_server server( io_service ); while ( true ) { try { io_service.run(); } catch( ... ){} } } catch ( std::exception& e ) { LOG << e.what() << std::endl; } catch( ... ) { LOG << "Unexpected exception" << std::endl; } return 0; }

Simple serial port demonstration with boost asio asynchronous I/O
by Jeff Gray 26 Jan '11

26 Jan '11

A couple of weeks ago I posted a simple asynchronous demonstration of a telnet client using boost asio TCP network code. I have changed this code to turn it into a simple serial terminal application using the serial port support in the new version of boost asio. It required no changes at all the the read or write code. I just altered the initialization to use a serial port instead of a socket. Note that this is not intended to show how a fully functional application would work. There are plenty of areas that are not handled in this code. But it shows the idea and it's easy to build on this once you've got it working. Hope this helps someone else get started... Jeff

Help with shared_ptr and template
by Mario Chacon 10 Sep '10

10 Sep '10

Hello: I have this problem and I do not how to fix it, I know I cannot write template typedefs, its a limitiation of the C++ syntax, right? or I'm wrong? I saw that the best way is to wrap your typedefs in a struct, which can be templated, but I'm still stack with problems. The best way to explain it's with an example: #include <cstdlib> #include <iostream> #include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp> template< typename tvalue > class CValue { public: CValue( tvalue value ) : value_(value) {}; private: tvalue value_; }; template< typename tvalue > struct Type{ typedef boost::shared_ptr< CValue< tvalue > > pValue; }; int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { Type<bool>::pValue a; return EXIT_SUCCESS; } How can I create a shared_ptr for the template class "CVALUE"?? Please I do not know what else I can prove... :( Thank you.. Mario.. Salu2...

[1.35.0][OSX][iostreams] Exception thrown with utf8 filename
by Christophe Radondy 17 Feb '10

17 Feb '10

Hi, I try to do a cross-platform source code and I have this code. I compiled boost 1.35 in universal binaries on Mac OS 10.5.4 with intel platform (IMAC core 2 duo 3Ghz) The same code works on linux (Ubuntu 8.0.4 and debian) and windows platforms but on Mac OS 10.5 I have an exception in boost's libraries. We compile on universal binaries with -fexceptions options of g++ 4.0.1 (Apple). This is my code: <code> boost::filesystem::wpath unicode(L"abcdef\u0110"); boost::filesystem::ofstream file(unicode.string()); // throws Invalid Argument on Mac file << "abcdef" << endl; file.close(); <endcode/> If I do this, it works: <code> boost::filesystem::path utf8("abcdef\xC4\x90"); // \xC4\x90 == \u0110 boost::filesystem::ofstream file(utf8.string()); // works ok file << "abcdef" << endl; file.close(); <endcode/> When the ofstream is created, this function is executed and crashes when I use Unicode parameters : <code> unicode.external_file_string(); // throws uncaught exception of type boost::filesystem::basic_filesystem_error<boost::filesystem::basic_path<std::basic_string<wchar_t, std::char_traits<wchar_t>, std::allocator<wchar_t> >, boost::filesystem::wpath_traits> > - boost::filesystem::wpath::to_external conversion error: Invalid argument <endcode/> Do you have any idea? Is this a known bug? Did I miss a setting? Thanks for your help. Regards, Christophe.
