[ptr_container] Regression: ptr_multimap breaks Wextra build in version 1.49.0
by Philipp Münzel 29 Jun '12

29 Jun '12

Hi fellows, I'm using gcc 4.2.1 on OSX 10.7.4 and I've recently updated from boost 1.47 to 1.49.0. My project uses ptr_multimaps. My project is configured to use the gcc flags -Werror -Wall -Wextra because I like to be alerted early if something can go wrong. Using -Werror is kind of a self-imposed restriction to keep my code clean of dirty hacks. I've been used to compile my code this way since about boost 1.44. With the update to 1.49 however, building with -Werror -Wextra is no longer possible, because I'm getting the following warning: /usr/local/boost/include/boost/ptr_container/ptr_map_adapter.hpp: In copy constructor 'boost::ptr_multimap_adapter<T, VoidPtrMultiMap, CloneAllocator, Ordered>::ptr_multimap_adapter(const boost::ptr_multimap_adapter<T, VoidPtrMultiMap, CloneAllocator, Ordered>&) [with T = Foo, VoidPtrMultiMap = std::multimap<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, void*, std::less<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > >, std::allocator<std::pair<const std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, void*> > >, CloneAllocator = boost::heap_clone_allocator, bool Ordered = true]': /usr/local/boost/include/boost/ptr_container/ptr_map.hpp:89: instantiated from here /usr/local/boost/include/boost/ptr_container/ptr_map_adapter.hpp:727: warning: base class 'class boost::ptr_container_detail::ptr_map_adapter_base<Foo, std::multimap<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, void*, std::less<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > >, std::allocator<std::pair<const std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, void*> > >, boost::heap_clone_allocator, true>' should be explicitly initialized in the copy constructor The only possibility to compile this is to remove -Wextra, because gcc has no separate warning option to turn off the copy constructor check (see [1]), so I lose not only this check, but also everything else enabled by -Wextra, which I'd be very unhappy with. For the time being, I just removed -Werror, but this totally clutters up my build output now, which usually allows me to spot every problem really quick, because it is so brief. Since this is a regression (it worked until the 1.49.0 update), I'd be happy if someone can check how this was introduced in 1.49.0 and open a ticket for the incriminating change.

Re: [Boost-users] Visual Studio Express
by Tom Kent 28 Jun '12

28 Jun '12

Last I checked, the express editions of visual studio (vc8,vc9,vc10) wouldn't build all the debugging info into libraries. I just went searching on Microsoft's website, but couldn't find anywhere that spells out what is/isn't included with the express versions. Beyond that, there have been announcements that the VC11 express version wasn't going to be able to make non-metro apps. I think they have gone back on this, but it still sounds like it will be limited. I haven't looked into this issue for a few years, so it is quite likely that I'm wrong. I'd love to hear from someone with better knowledge on this issue.

self-referential boost functions
by Adam Crain 28 Jun '12

28 Jun '12

Inquiring as to whether this is possible or if there is a better pattern for simulating this behavior... Is it possible for boost::function to be self referential? I.e. how do I simulate behavior like the following: typedef boost::function<Func (int)> Func; A function that does something mutable and then returns the next function to be called or an empty function. thanks, Adam

Thanks for the tip, Lars. That was indeed the problem - one of the libraries we are using was defining a fail macro. Pramod

compilation error using boost/property_tree/ptree.hpp
by Pramod Subramanyan 28 Jun '12

28 Jun '12

I am trying to use boost/property_tree/ptree.hpp in my application. All I have done so far is just add the following include statements to my program: > #include <boost/property_tree/ptree.hpp> > #include <boost/property_tree/xml_parser.hpp> After adding these lines, I compiled my modified application using g++ 4.6.3 on Ubuntu 12.04. I get the following errors: g++ -c -Wall -Werror -I../cudd-2.4.2//include/ -I /home/pramod/libraries/boost_1_50_0/ -O2 -Wno-unused-result -Wno-unused-function -c -o main.o main.cpp In file included from /home/pramod/libraries/boost_1_50_0/boost/property_tree/ptree.hpp:17:0, from main.h:10, from main.cpp:17: /home/pramod/libraries/boost_1_50_0/boost/property_tree/stream_translator.hpp: In static member function ‘static void boost::property_tree::customize_stream<Ch, Traits, bool, void>::extract(std::basic_istream<_CharT, _Traits>&, bool&)’: /home/pramod/libraries/boost_1_50_0/boost/property_tree/stream_translator.hpp:117:18: error: expected unqualified-id before ‘{’ token /home/pramod/libraries/boost_1_50_0/boost/property_tree/stream_translator.hpp:117:18: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘{’ token /home/pramod/libraries/boost_1_50_0/boost/property_tree/stream_translator.hpp: In member function ‘boost::optional<E> boost::property_tree::stream_translator<Ch, Traits, Alloc, E>::get_value(const internal_type&)’: /home/pramod/libraries/boost_1_50_0/boost/property_tree/stream_translator.hpp:191:20: error: expected unqualified-id before ‘{’ token /home/pramod/libraries/boost_1_50_0/boost/property_tree/stream_translator.hpp:191:20: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘{’ token make: *** [main.o] Error 1 When I look the lines117 and 191 in ptree.hpp, they are the following: s >> e; if(s.fail()) { // Try again in word form. and customized::extract(iss, e); if(iss.fail() || iss.bad() || iss.get() != Traits::eof()) { return boost::optional<E>(); I can't spot anything obviously wrong with either of these lines.

Anyone following boost as a git submodule?
by Chris Cleeland 28 Jun '12

28 Jun '12

Is anyone tracking boost for their project(s) as a git submodule by chance? What we've done up 'til now is import a particular boost rev directly into our repo (actually an SVN repo) but that is sub-optimal for various reasons. We're in the process of transitioning to git, so using a git submodule becomes a possibility. Wondering if anybody is doing that and, if so, if they'd be willing to discuss their experience either on list or privately. -- Chris Cleeland

[Interprocess] Unable to Access More than 7 GB of Memory
by Hering Cheng 27 Jun '12

27 Jun '12

Hi, Using Boost.Interprocess, with either unmanaged or managed shared memory, I am unable to access beyond 7 GB of the 20 GB of memory I allocated, despite the fact that none of the Interprocess API calls returned any error or threw any exception. I run into segmentation fault when I actually try to access the portion of the memory above the (approximately) 7 GB limit. If I perform a similar test with shared memory constructed via manual calls to System V IPC, then I can access all of the 20 GB of memory without any problem. I suspect this may be due to mmap() (using by Interprocess along with POSIX shm_open() and other calls) but I have been unable to verify. Does anyone have any experience on this? The machine is running RedHat 5 with 16 GB of RAM. (Yes, when I go through the 20 GB of memory a lot of paging/swapping occurred.) From below, I do not think that the problem was due to configuration. $ uname -a Linux NJ-CEL01 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5 #1 SMP Wed Jan 6 13:26:04 EST 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ ulimit -a core file size (blocks, -c) 2147483648 data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited scheduling priority (-e) 0 file size (blocks, -f) unlimited pending signals (-i) 141312 max locked memory (kbytes, -l) 32 max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files (-n) 1024 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8 POSIX message queues (bytes, -q) 819200 real-time priority (-r) 0 stack size (kbytes, -s) 10240 cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) 141312 virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited file locks (-x) unlimited $ grep . /proc/sys/kernel/shm* /proc/sys/kernel/shmall:4294967296 /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax:68719476736 /proc/sys/kernel/shmmni:4096 $ getconf PAGE_SIZE 4096 The following is the code for the test cases. struct entry_t { uint64_t f[10]; }; BOOST_FIXTURE_TEST_CASE(sysv_ipc, fixture) { std::cout << "System V IPC shared memory" << std::endl; const std::string shm_key = "/proc/sys/kernel/shmall"; const std::size_t shm_size = 20L * 1024L * 1024L * 1024L; const key_t ipc_key = ftok(shm_key.c_str(), 0); const int rm_rc = shmctl(ipc_key, IPC_RMID, NULL); if (rm_rc < 0) { std::cerr << "Unable to remove shared memory: " << strerror(errno) << std::endl; } const int shm_id = shmget(ipc_key, shm_size, 0644 | IPC_CREAT | IPC_EXCL); BOOST_ASSERT_MSG(shm_id >= 0, strerror(errno)); void * const shm_addr = shmat(shm_id, NULL, 0); BOOST_ASSERT_MSG(shm_addr != reinterpret_cast<void *>(-1), strerror(errno)); const std::size_t entry_count = 90L * (shm_size / sizeof(entry_t)) / 100L; entry_t * array = reinterpret_cast<entry_t *>(shm_addr); std::cout << "Initializing " << entry_count << " entries..." << std::endl; for (std::size_t i = 0; i < entry_count; ++i) { entry_t & entry = array[i]; void * addr = & entry; new (addr) entry_t(); if (i % 1000000 == 0) { std::cout << i << std::endl; } } std::cout << "Initialized all entries" << std::endl; shmctl(ipc_key, IPC_RMID, NULL); } BOOST_FIXTURE_TEST_CASE(unmanaged, fixture) { std::cout << "Unmanaged shared memory" << std::endl; const std::string shm_key = "test"; const std::size_t shm_size = 20L * 1024L * 1024L * 1024L; bipc::shared_memory_object::remove(shm_key.c_str()); bipc::shared_memory_object shm_obj(bipc::create_only, shm_key.c_str(), bipc::mode_t::read_write, bipc::permissions(0666)); shm_obj.truncate(shm_size); bipc::mapped_region region(shm_obj, bipc::read_write); const std::size_t entry_count = 90L * (shm_size / sizeof(entry_t)) / 100L; entry_t * array = reinterpret_cast<entry_t *>(region.get_address()); for (std::size_t i = 0; i < entry_count; ++i) { entry_t & entry = array[i]; void * addr = & entry; new (addr) entry_t(); if (i % 1000000 == 0) { std::cout << i << std::endl; } } bipc::shared_memory_object::remove(shm_key.c_str()); } BOOST_FIXTURE_TEST_CASE(managed, fixture) { std::cout << "Managed shared memory" << std::endl; const std::string shm_key = "test"; const std::size_t shm_size = 20L * 1024L * 1024L * 1024L; bipc::shared_memory_object::remove(shm_key.c_str()); bipc::managed_shared_memory shm(bipc::create_only, shm_key.c_str(), shm_size); typedef bipc::managed_shared_memory::allocator<entry_t>::type allocator_t; allocator_t array_alloc(shm.get_segment_manager()); const std::size_t entry_count = 90L * (shm_size / sizeof(entry_t)) / 100L; allocator_t::pointer array_ptr = array_alloc.allocate(entry_count); entry_t * array = array_ptr.get(); for (std::size_t i = 0; i < entry_count; ++i) { entry_t & entry = array[i]; void * addr = & entry; new (addr) entry_t(); if (i % 1000000 == 0) { std::cout << i << std::endl; } } bipc::shared_memory_object::remove(shm_key.c_str()); } Thanks.

[Boost.Function] detecting ignored arguments?
by Christoph Duelli 27 Jun '12

27 Jun '12

I have a callback-interface that can optionally process a "ServerError". If the callback looks at the error, there should be no default processing of the error. I have created a class callback that accepts two kinds of Boost.Functions: one with, one without an error object. When passing a callback function that does not look at the error, the call is ambiguous: both Boost.Functions could accept it. Is there a way to work around that problem? Can callback detect what kind of function it was passed? Some code illustrating my question: #include <boost/function.hpp> class ServerError; template<typename T> struct callback { typedef boost::function<void(T)> cb_func; cb_func callback_; typedef boost::function<void(T,const ServerError&)> cb_err_func; cb_err_func callback_err_; callback(const cb_func &cb) : callback_(cb) {} callback(const cb_err_func &cb) : callback_err_(cb) {} }; static void xxx(int) {} int main (int argc, char **argv) { // does not compile: ambiguous... callback<int> cb(&xxx); // does compile: but I'd like the compiler (or my lib) to automatically pick // the right one callback<int> cb(callback<int>::cb_func(&xxx)); return 0; } In the meantime I have found a possible workaround: If I change typedef boost::function<void(T,const ServerError&)> cb_err_func; to typedef boost::function<void(const ServerError&,T)> cb_err_func; the code does compile. Best regards and thank you for looking into this Christoph

Using boost string algorithm with BOOST_NO_STD_LOCALE
by Allan Nielsen 27 Jun '12

27 Jun '12

Hi, I'm developing for an embedded environment where we do not have a complete c++ standard library available, and one of the things missing is std::locale. But even without this feature, I would very much like to use the boost string algorithms ( split, tokenize, etc ). The only problem is that they depends on std::locale. I have been looking around in the source code, trying to see how easy it would be to add the needed ifdef's to make it work without std::locale. Most of the code looks straight forward to modify, but I'm stuck on this function: struct is_classifiedF : public predicate_facade<is_classifiedF> { // Boost.ResultOf support typedef bool result_type; // Constructor from a locale is_classifiedF(std::ctype_base::mask Type, std::locale const & Loc = std::locale()) : m_Type(Type), m_Locale(Loc) {} // Operation template<typename CharT> bool operator()( CharT Ch ) const { return std::use_facet< std::ctype<CharT> >(m_Locale).is( m_Type, Ch ); } private: std::ctype_base::mask m_Type; std::locale m_Locale; }; I know what the code does, I just do not know how it does it. This is without a doubt because I know nothing about locale, facet, etc. What I would like is another version of this struct which did not depend on std::locale, but simply assumed that the local used is "C". Something like this: struct is_classifiedF : public predicate_facade<is_classifiedF> { typedef bool result_type; is_classifiedF(std::ctype_base::mask Type) : m_Type(Type) {} template<typename CharT> bool operator()( CharT Ch ) const { // Write something here } private: std::ctype_base::mask m_Type; }; But as I do not understand the meaning/encoding of std::ctype_base::mask m_Type I found it hard to write the missing function body. So I could use some pointers/hints on how to implement this. Thanks Allan W. Nielsen

Explicit constructing boost intrusive list
by Allan Nielsen 26 Jun '12

26 Jun '12

Hi, I would like to use a boost::intrusive::list as a static global resource, which are accessed by other global objects. To ensure that the list is initialized before it is used by "other" global objects, I have been looking in to using the "Nifty counter" method (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/More_C%2B%2B_Idioms/Nifty_Counter) The problem is, that the nifty counter demands that it can control construction and destruction of the object. Is there any achieve this or something similar when using intrusive::list as a global resource? Best regards Allan W. Nielsen

[serialization] Serializing array of POD or custom type
by Kim Gadecki 26 Jun '12

26 Jun '12

Hi everyone. I'm trying to work out how you serialize arrays using the boost serializer. Here's a simplified example: struct node_link { u32 node_A; u32 node_B; }; struct Node { node_link* m_node_links_array; int m_node_links_size; }; // non-intrusive serialization template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, node_link& link, const unsigned int version) { ar & link.node_A; ar & link.node_B; } template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, Node& node_data, const unsigned int version) { ar & boost::serialization::array<node_link>(node_data.m_node_links_array, node_data.m_node_links_size); ar & node_data.m_node_links_size; } This seems to work for serializing but I get an error on de-serialization. Can anyone tell me the correct way to do this? Thanks

[boost::format] operator % could use call_traits<..>::parameter_type
by Luc Bourhis 25 Jun '12

25 Jun '12

Hi, consider a library featuring code like template <..., unsigned Rank, ...> struct Foo { ... static unsigned const rank = Rank; .... }; as well as boost::format(...) % Foo::rank Such code will link if and only if a definition for Foo::rank is provided because the interface of operator % is template <class T> operator%(const T& x) This is not possible in the library, as I do not know which values of Rank will be used by client code. Thus the only possibility is a hat trick like boost::format(...) % (Foo::rank+0) If operator % took integral types by value instead, this would alleviate the problem. Hence the suggestion to use call_traits<T>::parameter_type instead of T const &. Of course, the same could be said of many functions other than format::operator% Best wishes, Luc Bourhis

Trouble linking with boost::program_options on OSX 10.7
by Jürgen Simon 25 Jun '12

25 Jun '12

Hi, I have boost 1.49 installed through homebrew on OSX 10.7. I'm attempting to compile a program making use of boost::program_options. I get the following error: Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64: "boost::program_options::detail::cmdline::get_canonical_option_prefix()", referenced from: boost::program_options::basic_command_line_parser<char>::run() in meanshift_clustering.o ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64 clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) I clearly remember that this used to compile in the past.

Boost Program Options: Any way to have variable number of "objects" each with parameters?
by Charles Mills 25 Jun '12

25 Jun '12

I really like the Boost Program Options library. I've used it for one program now with great effect and I'd like to use it for another, but can't figure out how to structure what I need to do so that Boost PO could handle it. I am solely interested in the ".ini file" for this - command line is irrelevant. The problem is "how does a program allow the specification of a variable number of 'objects' each of which has parameters of its own?" Here is a hypothetical program that exemplifies the problem. Suppose a program were going to create multiple geometric shapes of some sort. An ideal (unsupported by PO) .ini file might look like rectangles=3 rectangle[0].width=5 rectangle[0].height=10 rectangle[1].width=3 etc. circles=2 circle[0].diameter=4 etc. Can anyone suggest a way to accomplish this with Boost PO? I'm real flexible on what the .ini file might look like so long as it solves the problem and is reasonably explicable to a user. (No need for it to look almost like the above.) Thanks, Charles

[range] boost::size wrong return type?
by Oswin Krause 25 Jun '12

25 Jun '12

Hi list, I'm using boost 1.49 and get an annoying number of signed/unsigned comparison warnings when i use boost::size. Which is because the return type seems to be signed When I look at boost/range/size.hpp, i get template<class SinglePassRange> inline BOOST_DEDUCED_TYPENAME range_difference<SinglePassRange>::type <--signed size(const SinglePassRange& rng) But the documentation for random access ranges tells otherwise: Expression: boost::size(a) Return Type: boost::range_size<X>::type and Forward Range defines range_size as: boost::range_size<X>::type An unsigned integral type that can represent any nonnegative value of the Range's distance type. assuming the documentation does not lie, I propose the following fix template<class SinglePassRange> inline BOOST_DEDUCED_TYPENAME range_size<SinglePassRange>::type size(const SinglePassRange& rng) Greetings, Oswin

boost::wave::context deadlocks when called from a DLL
by Julien Lebot 24 Jun '12

24 Jun '12

Hi all, I'm having some issue with boost::wave::context: I have a function called PreProcessSource, which allocates a boost::wave::context and does some preprocessing; nothing fancy at all. std::string PreProcessSource(const std::string& instring, const std::string& defines) { typedef boost::wave::cpplexer::lex_token<> token_type; typedef boost::wave::cpplexer::lex_iterator<token_type> lex_iterator_type; typedef boost::wave::context<std::string::iterator, lex_iterator_type> context_type; std::string source = instring; context_type ctx(source.begin(), source.end()); // DEADLOCK here ctx.set_language(boost::wave::enable_emit_line_directives(ctx.get_language(), true)); if(!defines.empty()) { std::vector<std::string> tokens; Split<std::string>(defines, tokens, ","); std::vector<std::string>::const_iterator cit = tokens.begin(); for (;cit != tokens.end(); ++cit) ctx.add_macro_definition(*cit); } context_type::iterator_type first = ctx.begin(); context_type::iterator_type last = ctx.end(); std::string outstring; while (first != last) { const token_type::string_type& value = (*first).get_value(); std::copy(value.begin(), value.end(), std::back_inserter(outstring)); ++first; } return outstring; } In the past it used to work fine, albeit with boost 1.47.0: Library Nitro is a DLL that hosts the PreProcess source function, the executable uses the Nitro DLL and can call PreProcess source, and Nitro DLL can also sometimes call the function itself. But right now this is no longer the case: whenever Nitro DLL calls the function itself, or Nitro DLL calls another function, which in turn calls back into Nitro DLL PreProcess function, it deadlocks. If DO_DEADLOCK is defined to 1 in the following piece of code, the deadlock will happen: // In executable class Tutorial01 : public Game { public: // ... Tutorial01() : Game() { #if !DO_DEADLOCK std::stringstream sstream; sstream << "void main(inout float4 vtxInput : POSITION) { }" << std::endl << std::endl; std::string source = sstream.str(); std::string defines = ""; std::string shaderCode = Nitro::PreProcessSource(source, defines); #endif } void LoadContent() { #if DO_DEADLOCK std::stringstream sstream; sstream << "void main(inout float4 vtxInput : POSITION) { }" << std::endl << std::endl; std::string source = sstream.str(); std::string defines = ""; std::string shaderCode = Nitro::PreProcessSource(source, defines); #endif // Original code that deadlocks too. // Calls in the DLL, which will call PreProcessSource. // effect->Initialize(device, source, "DX11"); } // ... }; int APIENTRY wWinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPWSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow) { Tutorial00 app; app.Run(); return 0; } Note that the constructor is called directly from the executable, whereas LoadContent is called from the DLL: // In Nitro DLL void Game::Run() { try { // ... LoadContent(); // ... } catch(/* ... */) { } } The code is compiled for x64 and in debug mode. I compile boost myself into a DLL (using bcp to get the files for the libraries I use) with the following options: Preprocessor: WIN32 BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK BOOST_THREAD_BUILD_DLL _DLL _DEBUG _WINDOWS _USRDLL Code Generation: C++ Exceptions (/EHsc) Multi-threaded Debug DLL (/MDd) Function-level linking (/Gy) Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (/arch:SSE2) (/arch:SSE2) Fast floating point model (/fp:fast) DLL A uses the same code gen options, and has the following preprocessor macros defined: _WINDLL _UNICODE UNICODE WIN32 _WINDOWS BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB _DEBUG The executable and unit test executable uses the same code gen options, and have the following preprocessor macros defined: BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB UNICODE _UNICODE _MBCS I have tried various combinations of preprocessor definitions (with _DEBUG and without, with BOOST_THREAD_USE_DLL, and without; to no avail).

I'm not sure if that's even relevant but I've exhausted all the possibilities and I'm out of ideas. I'd be grateful if anyone could shed some light on this. Best Regards, Julien Lebot

[serialization] mingw Deriving from boost::archive::xml_iarchive
by Ken 23 Jun '12

23 Jun '12

Hi, We have a boost archive class derived from boost::archive::xml_iarchive_impl, like this: class XmlInputArchive : public boost::archive::xml_iarchive_impl< XmlInputArchive >, public boost::archive::detail::shared_ptr_helper Its purpose is to provide diagnostics information when deserialising xml archive input, ie. which tag is failing. In porting from 1_41 to 1_49 on mingw this no longer links because the boost::archive::basic_xml_grammar<char> class's symbols are no longer exported from the serialization library. The functions this class overrides are the protected functions: void load_start( const char * name ); void load_end( const char * name ); The existing boost::archive::xml_iarchive class derives from xml_iarchive_impl, and as these functions are protected in the latter, they are not available to a class derived from boost::archive::xml_iarchive class directly. And, for the same reason, we can't create an archive class that delegates to a boost::archive::xml_iarchive instance. So neither deriving from boost::archive::xml_iarchive nor using one as a delegate are feasible solutions. Is there a way of creating an xml_iarchive class that has access to the load_start, load_end functions? Or perhaps there is another way to get the diagnostics information about which xml tags are being processed? Thanks, Ken Appleby

this is the story: suppose you have some files(files1,files2,files3) and some usergroup(ug1,ug2,ug3). and this is the struct file{ string name; set<string> group; } and file1.name = "file1"; file1.group.insert("ug1"); file1.group.insert("ug2"); file1.group.insert("ug3"); file2.name = "file2"; file2.group.insert("ug2"); file3.name = "file3"; file3.group.insert("ug3"); and i need search by file name or group, and file name should can be support fuzzy search (eg. *ile , *1 ....) can boost mutil index do this,if can ,what kind index need? or there is other way to do this?
