[Test] Where to learn about boost::itest::mock_object?
by Mateusz Loskot 20 Jan '14

20 Jan '14

Hi, I'm looking for a simple mocking library to use together with Boost.Test. There is Turtle (aka Boost.Mock) and googlemock. During retrospection of the big thread on Boost.Test future [1], I found this curious post by Gennadiy [2] about mock_object. I had no idea such facility lives in Boost.Test and it looks it's been there for very long time. I can't find any documentation about mock_oboject, only a couple of examples. So, I have a few questions: Is the mock_object an internal feature or is it dedicated (and ready) to use by Boost.Test users? What are basic features of this mocking facility? How does it compare to Turtle or googlemock?

Does Boost.Test cover 'golden file approach'?
by Journeyer J. Joh 13 Jan '14

13 Jan '14

Hello, I know almost nothing about 'golden file approach'. http://weblogs.java.net/blog/alexeyp/archive/2007/02/testing_command.html >From this blog, you can find the term 'golden file approach'. I want to know if Boost.Test cover this kind of testing. Can I implement 'golden file approach' with Boost.Test? If so please provide me more information about it. Thank you very much. ---------------------------------------- Journeyer J. Joh o o s a p r o g r a m m e r a t g m a i l d o t c o m ----------------------------------------

[boost.test] How to register custom exception for auto test?
by Jörg Becker 13 Jan '14

13 Jan '14

Hi, I'm using the test library of boost 1.49.0 for my unit tests. It works fine so fare, but if my program throws an error, I get the default error message unknown location(0): fatal error in "excption1_test": unknown type, witch hides the original error message. I tried to register an error translator, but without success. Here is what I tried (modified test/test/custom_exception_test.cpp to use auto test with global fixture): #define BOOST_TEST_MODULE "boost test custom_exception_test" #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> #include <boost/test/unit_test_monitor.hpp> using namespace boost::unit_test; BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE( custom_exception_testsuite ) struct my_exception1 { explicit my_exception1( int res_code ) : m_res_code( res_code ) {} int m_res_code; }; void throw_my_exception1() { throw my_exception1( 12 ); } void my_exception1_translator( my_exception1 ) { BOOST_TEST_MESSAGE( "Caught my_exception1" ); } class my_config { public: my_config () { unit_test_monitor.register_exception_translator<my_exception1>( &my_exception1_translator ); } }; BOOST_GLOBAL_FIXTURE( my_config ) BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( excption1_test ) { throw_my_exception1(); } BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END() Can anybody tell me what I'm missing? Thanks, Jörg

[BGL] Having a cost function as weight map
by Maxime van Noppen 06 Sep '13

06 Sep '13

Hi, I can't find how to do this pretty basic thing : having a function instead of a field to compute the cost of edges for various path finding algorithms. I couldn't find the answer in the documentation and Google was of no help. Did I miss something obvious ? Example : ------------------- #include <boost/graph/dijkstra_shortest_paths.hpp> #include <boost/graph/graph_traits.hpp> #include <boost/graph/adjacency_list.hpp> struct my_edge { double cost() const { return cost_ * 2; } double cost_; }; struct my_node { }; int main() { typedef boost::adjacency_list< boost::vecS, boost::vecS, boost::directedS, my_node, my_edge > graph_t; typedef boost::graph_traits<graph_t>::vertex_descriptor vertex_t; graph_t graph; vertex_t v /*= ... */; using boost::weight_map; // Works : boost::dijkstra_shortest_paths(graph, v, weight_map(boost::get(&my_edge::cost_, graph))); // Doesn't compile : //boost::dijkstra_shortest_paths(graph, v, // weight_map(boost::get(&my_edge::cost, graph))); } ------------------- Thanks ! -- Maxime

Hi all, I use undirected_dfs to detect all cycles in a undirected graph. I detect a cycle with DFSVisitor.back_edge(e,g) but how can I get the list of vertices defining this cycle ? Thanks by advance

[exception] exception_ptr missing virtual base parameters
by Michael Caisse 13 Jul '13

13 Jul '13

The basic problem I'm experiencing is that getting an exception_ptr results inherited parameters getting lost when virtual inheritance is used. The code below demonstrates a simple example. "bar" is lost in the print. Changing derived_except to be: struct derived_except : base_except { int i; }; will cause the inherited values to be copied into the exception_ptr; however, this has all the standard problems associated that come with not using virtual inheritance. This looks like a bug to me. The C++11 equivalent behaves has expected and inherited values are maintained in the exception_ptr. Any thoughts? michael -------------- boost::exception_ptr version -------------- #include <boost/exception/all.hpp> #include <string> #include <iostream> struct base_except { std::string s; }; struct derived_except : virtual base_except { int i; }; int main() { derived_except e; e.i = 8; e.s = "bar"; boost::exception_ptr ptr = boost::copy_exception(e); try { boost::rethrow_exception(ptr); } catch(derived_except & e) { std::cout << "derived_except: " << e.s << " " << e.i << std::endl; } catch(...) {} return 0; } -------------- c++11 version --------------------- #include <exception> #include <string> #include <iostream> struct base_except { std::string s; }; struct derived_except : virtual base_except { int i; }; int main() { derived_except e; e.i = 8; e.s = "bar"; std::exception_ptr ptr = std::make_exception_ptr(e); try { std::rethrow_exception(ptr); } catch(derived_except & e) { std::cout << "derived_except: " << e.s << " " << e.i << std::endl; } catch(...) {} return 0; } -- Michael Caisse ciere consulting ciere.com

[msm] interrupt_state with more then one event that ends interrupt?
by Alexander Mingalev 09 Jul '13

09 Jul '13

Hi, Subj, Is that possible? for example, one event continues processing, the another one finishes the whole state-machine (some clean-up actions etc). I tried struct Interrupt : public msmf::interrupt_state< boost::mpl::vector<Foo, Bar> > {}; and struct Interrupt : public msmf::interrupt_state< msmf::ActionSequence_< boost::mpl::vector<Foo, Bar> > > {}; - has no effect. Is there another way to achieve this?

ASIO: Problem with building boost 1.53 ASIO examples under cygwin
by mschulze＠ivs.cs.ovgu.de 27 Jun '13

27 Jun '13

Hi all, I tried building boost 1.53 ASIO examples under cygwin and it didn't worked with bjam or b2 respectively. Then I used "bjam -n" to get the invoked commands in order to further track down the issue. I end up with the following command to compile an example "g++" -ftemplate-depth-128 -O0 -fno-inline -Wall -g -mthreads -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1 -DBOOST_CHRONO_DYN_LINK=1 -DBOOST_SYSTEM_DYN_LINK=1 -DBOOST_SYSTEM_NO_DEPRECATED -DBOOST_THREAD_BUILD_DLL=1 -DBOOST_THREAD_POSIX -DBOOST_THREAD_USE_DLL=1 -I"../../../.." -o "blocking_udp_echo_server" "blocking_udp_echo_server.cpp" -D__USE_W32_SOCKETS -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0501 ../../../../bin.v2/libs/thread/build/gcc-4.5.3/release/link-static/threading-multi/libboost_thread.a ../../../../bin.v2/libs/system/build/gcc-4.5.3/release/link-static/threading-multi/libboost_system.a -lws2_32 -lmswsock and I got the following errors: In file included from ../../../../boost/asio/detail/impl/posix_tss_ptr.ipp:24:0, from ../../../../boost/asio/detail/posix_tss_ptr.hpp:77, from ../../../../boost/asio/detail/tss_ptr.hpp:27, from ../../../../boost/asio/detail/call_stack.hpp:20, from ../../../../boost/asio/impl/handler_alloc_hook.ipp:19, from ../../../../boost/asio/handler_alloc_hook.hpp:80, from ../../../../boost/asio/detail/handler_alloc_helpers.hpp:22, from ../../../../boost/asio/detail/bind_handler.hpp:19, from ../../../../boost/asio/detail/wrapped_handler.hpp:18, from ../../../../boost/asio/io_service.hpp:24, from ../../../../boost/asio/basic_io_object.hpp:19, from ../../../../boost/asio/basic_socket.hpp:19, from ../../../../boost/asio/basic_datagram_socket.hpp:20, from ../../../../boost/asio.hpp:20, from blocking_udp_echo_server.cpp:13: ../../../../boost/asio/error.hpp:77:17: error: a function call cannot appear in a constant-expression ../../../../boost/asio/error.hpp:130:15: error: a function call cannot appear in a constant-expression ../../../../boost/asio/error.hpp:135:19: error: a function call cannot appear in a constant-expression ../../../../boost/asio/error.hpp:149:23: error: a function call cannot appear in a constant-expression ../../../../boost/asio/error.hpp:163:15: error: a function call cannot appear in a constant-expression ../../../../boost/asio/error.hpp:244:45: warning: boost::asio::error::system_category defined but not used ../../../../boost/asio/error.hpp:246:45: warning: boost::asio::error::netdb_category defined but not used ../../../../boost/asio/error.hpp:248:45: warning: boost::asio::error::addrinfo_category defined but not used ../../../../boost/asio/error.hpp:250:45: warning: boost::asio::error::misc_category defined but not used ../../../../boost/asio/detail/winsock_init.hpp:78:30: warning: boost::asio::detail::winsock_init_instance defined but not used The error messages boils down to the use of "__MSABI_LONG(x)" within an enumeration definition. __MSABI_LONG is a macro that has to be resolved during the cpp run but isn't but it seems not to be known at this point. I also tested the boost version 1.52 and there are none of these issues and it worked like it is intended. Best regards, Michael

Comparison boost spirit and ANTLR
by Olivier Austina 17 Jun '13

17 Jun '13

Hi, I would like to choose a parser. I would like to use a parser for text processing (natural language text). Which parser is suited in this case. In general which are the benefit to use boost spirit instead of ANTLR or ANTLR instead of boost spirit. Thank you. -- Regards Austina
