Boost.Test : Project setting in Visual 2010
by Oodini 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

Hello, I am trying to setup in Visual C++ 2010 some projects to use Boost.Test. I have a project with some classes I want to test. This project builds a static library. I put in this project a test file ; here is its content : #define BOOST_TEST_MODULE MyTest #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(Test1) { BOOST_REQUIRE(false); } I created an other project (a console program). Its content is : #define BOOST_TEST_MAIN #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> In its properties, I linked it to the first project, trough Common Properties -> Framework and references. When I execute this program, I get the message "test tree is empty". How should I setup me projects ? I can't find clear documentation about this subject. Thanks a lot.

Which compiler does this even work with yet? Both gcc and clang fail. clang on compilation, gcc compiles it but fails at runtime with a system_error exception and an invalid error code. so you might wanna consider compiler and library bugs, too.

C++ and/or boost analog to .NET System.Version
by Michael Powell 13 Apr '13

13 Apr '13

Hello, I am curious is there an analog to System.Version in .NET? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.version.aspx Basically a cloneable, comparable, equatable version composed of major, minor, build, revision. Or patch, build, or however you'd like to decompose the fields. I don't think it'd be hard to cook one up using say tuple<int, int, int, int> for instance, but if one already exists I'd like to save the effort. Thanks! Regards, Michael Powell

Issue with asio::serial_port - async_write_some handler isn't firing
by Alex McClung 13 Apr '13

13 Apr '13

Hi, I'm trying to get a simple application up and running that sends and receives simple commands through a COM port to an Arduino hooked up to some sensors. Right now, I'm just trying to send the Arduino a simple command through a boost::asio::serial_port instance, although at some point I'll need to start reading from it as well. At any rate, I think I've got the basic premise down, but for some reason the WriteComplete function (see code below) isn't being called. After running the program, the output is: Open Sending command '.' Press any key to continue. I'm not 100% sure what's going on. The only thing I can think of is that the boost::asio::buffer(&command, sizeof(command)) statement is wrong. I'm not very familiar with these libraries, though, so I don't know what I would replace it with. I've included the code I'm using in case anyone can help me out. Thanks, -Alex --- #include "stdafx.h" #include <iostream> #include <boost\bind.hpp> #include <boost\asio.hpp> using namespace std; boost::asio::io_service gService; boost::asio::serial_port gPort(gService); void WriteComplete(const boost::system::error_code& error, std::size_t bytes_transferred) { cout << "Write complete." << endl; gPort.close(); } int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { gPort.open("COM3"); if(!gPort.is_open()) { cout << "Could not open com port." << endl; return 0; } cout << "Open" << endl; typedef boost::asio::serial_port_base asio_serial; gPort.set_option( asio_serial::baud_rate( 9600 ) ); gPort.set_option( asio_serial::flow_control( asio_serial::flow_control::none ) ); gPort.set_option( asio_serial::parity( asio_serial::parity::none ) ); gPort.set_option( asio_serial::stop_bits( asio_serial::stop_bits::one ) ); gPort.set_option( asio_serial::character_size( 8 ) ); char command = '.'; cout << "Sending command '" << command << "'" << endl; gPort.async_write_some( boost::asio::buffer(&command, sizeof(command)), boost::bind( &WriteComplete, boost::asio::placeholders::error, boost::asio::placeholders::bytes_transferred ) ); cout << "Press any key to continue."; cin.ignore(); cin.get(); return 0; }

Re: [Boost-users] Bind/Function: use reference arguments in template variadic functions

> > Actually, I try to use template variadic functions which can contains references, pointers and/or values which must be converted to boost::function0<void>. > > I tried to use forward() but I lose references with it. I tried ref() to but it make values interpreted as references (so ints are broken). So I'm looking for a magic way to use ref() only when needed by the arguments. > What do you mean by "when needed by the arguments?" How do you specify what should have ref added and what shouldn't? Well, I tried to make a template pseudo-code to determine which function it needs to use. Like this code that does not work: ///// Big code to make it working template<typename W,typename T> struct SignalArgumentValueConverter { }; template<typename T> struct SignalArgumentValueConverter<const boost::reference_wrapper<T>,T> { static const boost::reference_wrapper<T> convert(T&& t) { return boost::ref<T>(t); } }; template<typename T> struct SignalArgumentValueConverter<T&&,T> { static T&& convert(T&& t) { return std::forward<T&&>(t); } }; template<typename T> struct SignalArgumentTypeConverter { typedef typename std::conditional<std::is_reference<T>::value,const boost::reference_wrapper<T>,T&&>::type type; static type convert(T&& t) { return SignalArgumentValueConverter<type,T>::convert(std::forward<T&&>(t)); } }; ////// Little code to use it // Note: current is an iterator on a std::vector< boost::function<void(Args…)> > (*current)( SignalArgumentTypeConverter<Args>::convert(boost::forward<Args>(args))... ); This code does not compile and I think that I may break its code while I made some tests. Any idea to create something lile that (or even better) ? Regards, Yannick POTIN

Hello, Is it possible? Something like the example identified here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7125666/what-is-boostprogram-optionsnoti… Except I'd like to hook up a void(void) notifier handler instead of the parameter. Thank ye... Regards, Michael Powell

Re: [Boost-users] Bind/Function: use reference arguments in template variadic functions

> > >> template<class ...classes> >> boost::function0<void> call_something(classes&... c) > > Thank you, It actually allows me to use references in these functions. > I just tried and g++ is waiting for only references but I need to use pointers and/or values too. > There is a way to use mixed types in template variadic functions ? > For perfect forwarding use: template<class... T> void call(T&&... t) { foo(std::forward<T>(t)...); } I tried this one too and it works fine thank you. However, I use these functions with boost::bind library and actually references are lost when I use it (and I need to). After some google searches, it seems that boost::bind officially does not support this use (due to internal references). So I tried with std::bind because I read somewhere the problem was fixed with its C++11 version. The problem is the same : with std::bind too, references are lost using std::forward. Does anyone made this duo bind/template variadic functions working together ? And if someone did, how did you do ? Sorry, I lost context with what you're trying to do, but maybe you want to use boost::ref / std::ref in conjunction with boost::bind / std::bind, respectively? I think that should indicate to the binding framework to hold the bound values by reference rather than by value (if that's what you want). - Jeff Actually, I try to use template variadic functions which can contains references, pointers and/or values which must be converted to boost::function0<void>. I tried to use forward() but I lose references with it. I tried ref() to but it make values interpreted as references (so ints are broken). So I'm looking for a magic way to use ref() only when needed by the arguments. Regards, Yannick POTIN

Difficulty using promises and futures
by Michael Powell 12 Apr '13

12 Apr '13

Hello, I would like to use promises and futures in our embedded app. We're targeting ArchLinux ARM. I believe we can build against a GCC 4.7.2 toolchain which has either C++0x or possibly even C++11 (somewhat) support. I am trying to setup a couple of simple issues to make it even compile, but am having trouble. boost::packaged_task<vector<int> > int_vect_pt_(simple_vector_getter); boost::unique_future<vector<int> > int_vect_f_ = int_vect_pt_.get_future(); boost::thread task(boost::move(int_vect_pt_)); boost::packaged_task<int> int_pt_(simple_getter); boost::unique_future<int> int_f_ = int_pt_.get_future(); boost::thread task(boost::move(int_pt_)); Error(s): Description Resource Path Location Type 'boost::move' is ambiguous ' Candidates are: boost::type move(boost::packaged_task<int> &) ' optics.cpp /detector/devices line 156 Semantic Error Description Resource Path Location Type 'boost::move' is ambiguous ' Candidates are: boost::type move(boost::packaged_task<std::vector<int,std::allocator<int>>> &) ' optics.cpp /detector/devices line 152 Semantic Error Can anyone help or otherwise advise? I've even got a "crude" future implementation in C# .NETCF for pity's sake... Anyway, if necessary, what did we do before promises/futures? ;-) Thank you... Regards, Michael Powell
