[interprocess] Determine size of managed_shared_memory
by Kai Benndorf 12 Oct '19

12 Oct '19

Hi all, I want to create a managed_shared_memory in exactly the size I needed. Therefore I do something like this: size = sizeof( common_managed_shared_memory ); size += sizeof( MyClassInSharedMem ); managed_shared_memory segment(create_only, "name", size ); MyClassInSharedMem allocates itself some memory by segment->allocate(). I added this also to the size, but get a boost::interprocess::bad_alloc exception on allocating this additional memory. Are there some magic bytes I forgot to add? Many thanks in advance Kai

[statechart] Passing parameters from event to State Local Storage
by Christophe Bourez 16 Nov '16

16 Nov '16

I need to maintain a parameter into the state local storage. This parameter is initially contained in the event that causes the transition to the target state. I give hereafter a small illustrative example. typename sc = boost::statechart; class EvTest : public sc::event<EvTest> { public: EvTest(std::size_t val) : value(val) {} std::size_t getValue() const { return this->value; } private: std::size_t value; }; class MyStateMachine; class StSource; class StTarget; class StSource : public sc::simple_state<StSource, MyStateMachine> { public: typedef sc::custom_reaction<EvTest> reactions; sc::result react(const EvTest &event) { // How to pass event.getValue() to the target state ? transit<StTarget>(); } }; class StTarget : public sc::simple_state<StTarget, MyStateMachine> { public: StTarget(std::size_t val) : val(value) {} private: std::size_t value; }; Thanks, Christophe

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.

[Thread] Read-write locks
by lfrfly＠icqmail.com 18 Sep '14

18 Sep '14

I'm trying to create a standard read/write lock using Boost Threads, and I'm having a bit of difficulty mapping the Boost concepts onto the usual ones. A read/write lock should have several states: Locked for reading (multiple threads may lock at once), locked for writing (only one thread may lock, and no threads may be locked for reading at the same time), and unlocked. Ideally it would be nice if an RWL which is locked for reading may temporarily upgrade to locked for writing, then return to the locked for reading state. Boost supports several relevant notions of locking: shared locking, upgrade locking, and exclusive locking. This to me is a confusing distinction. In particular, a shared_mutex seems appropriate as the basis for a RWL, but is lock_upgrade() the equivalent of a write lock and lock_shared the equivalent of a read lock? This is unclear. If "upgrade locking" is not the same as "exclusive locking", then is an upgrade lock actually exclusive? Could someone please clarify this.

[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

Problems calling make_reversed_graph in a call to dijkstra from version 1.48
by Berit Dangaard Brouer 08 Apr '14

Hi, First of all thank you for providign the boost BGL library. I use it extensively. I am having some problems with some code, that works just fine using boost version 1.46, but cannot compile using version 1.48 and higher. I have a Bidirectional Graph using bundled properties defined as: struct Port { Port(int index=-1, int type=-1, int port_code=0, string UN="NN", string name="NN", int service_id=-1 ): m_index(index), m_type(type), m_port_code( port_code), UNLOCODE(UN), m_name(name), m_service_id(service_id) {} int m_index; int m_type;//0 port, 1 port call int m_port_code; string UNLOCODE; string m_name; int m_service_id; }; struct Edge { Edge( int id=-1, int type=-1, double weight=0.0, double cost=0.0, double dual_cost=0.0, double util=0.0, double cap=0.0, double r_cap=0.0 ) : m_idx(id), m_type(type), m_weight(weight) , m_cost(cost), m_dual_cost(dual_cost), m_utilization(util), m_capacity(cap), m_res_cap(r_cap) {} unsigned int m_idx; int m_type;//0 is load edge, 1 is voyage edge, 2 forfeited edge (commodity link) double m_weight; //distance double m_cost; //cost - only on load/unload/transhipment edges double m_dual_cost; double m_utilization; double m_capacity; double m_res_cap; //residual capacity }; //Graph typedef adjacency_list< vecS , vecS , bidirectionalS, Port, Edge> mcf_graph; I am trying to make a call to dijkstra on a reversed graph as follows: (the reversed graph is also a filtered graph, but I do not think this is an issue: dijkstra_shortest_paths (make_reverse_graph(fg), before_p, predecessor_map ( &p[0] ).distance_map ( &d[0] ).weight_map ( get ( &Edge::m_weight, fg) ).vertex_index_map ( get ( vertex_index,fg ) ) ); which works fine in 1.46, but it seems in 1.48 I can no longer use make_reverse_graph(<mcf_graph&>) (returning a reverse graph) with the bundled properties from fg. and I get the error (compressed summary - full details attached) usr/include/boost/property_map/property_map.hpp:354:56: error: no match for 'operator[]' in '((const boost::bundle_property_map<boost::adjacency_list<boost::vecS, boost::vecS, boost::bidirectionalS, Port, Edge>, boost::detail::edge_desc_impl<boost::bidirectional_tag, long unsigned int>, Edge, double>&)pa)[k]' /usr/include/boost/property_map/property_map.hpp:354:56: note: candidate is: In file included from /usr/include/boost/graph/adjacency_list.hpp:44:0, from /home/chrkr/git/lsndp/include/ipheuristic.h:36, from /home/chrkr/git/lsndp/src/ipheuristic.cpp:29: /usr/include/boost/graph/properties.hpp:399:15: note: T& boost::bundle_property_map<Graph, Descriptor, Bundle, T>::operator[](boost::bundle_property_map<Graph, Descriptor, Bundle, T>::key_type) const [with Graph = boost::adjacency_list<boost::vecS, boost::vecS, boost::bidirectionalS, Port, Edge>; Descriptor = boost::detail::edge_desc_impl<boost::bidirectional_tag, long unsigned int>; Bundle = Edge; T = double; boost::bundle_property_map<Graph, Descriptor, Bundle, T>::reference = double&; boost::bundle_property_map<Graph, Descriptor, Bundle, T>::key_type = boost::detail::edge_desc_impl<boost::bidirectional_tag, long unsigned int>] /usr/include/boost/graph/properties.hpp:399:15: note: no known conversion for argument 1 from 'const boost::detail::reverse_graph_edge_descriptor<boost::detail::edge_desc_impl<boost::bidirectional_tag, long unsigned int> >' to 'boost::bundle_property_map<boost::adjacency_list<boost::vecS, boost::vecS, boost::bidirectionalS, Port, Edge>, boost::detail::edge_desc_impl<boost::bidirectional_tag, long unsigned int>, Edge, double>::key_type {aka boost::detail::edge_desc_impl<boost::bidirectional_tag, long unsigned int>}' From various sources I understand that as of 1.48 reverse graph is no longer an image of the graph, but another object, where I need the actual property maps and the property maps of the reversed graph, but I did not get much wiser on how to call dijkstra with the reversed graph given these new description.

[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?

[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?

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

Re: [Boost-users] [Interprocess] Page default
by Kelly, Dan 12 Aug '13

12 Aug '13

To elaborate on Ion's remarks, ALL virtual memory in user space in windows is backed by the page file, and ALL file I/O is memory mapped, the only difference being virtual memory is backed by the page file rather than a specific named file in the file system. Your inter process memory is just as likely to be in physical memory as any other data. So most likely this is not the cause of your performance issue, unless memory is so tight that your entire process working set is continually thrashing.

Inteprocess can't do that because it's a portable library and POSIX systems don't know what a working set is. You can perfectly call those functions yourself as you don't need any internal Interprocess data to call them. Although shared memory is never guaranteed to be in RAM, you don't any any guarantee with your "process memory" (if memory pressure is detected the OS can swap you heap and/or executable pages to the swap file to free some RAM for other processes).

Compiling Boost 1.54.0 for the iOS simulator (6.1) on OS X 10.8.4
by Dan Leach 09 Aug '13

09 Aug '13

Hello, I am new to the Boost mailing list so please let me know if this is not the appropriate place to discuss my problem. I have successfully managed to compile several of the Boost libraries (regex, filesystem, thread) and create a framework for use with OS X, iOS, and the iOS simulator using this script: https://github.com/wuhao5/boost/blob/188e905626dbd522f65950102ed0c8ce77cb28… on Peter Goodliffe's work here: http://goodliffe.blogspot.com/2010/09/building-boost-framework-for-ios-ipho… Boost 1.53.0 using clang and linking against libc++. The script fails when compiling for the iOS simulator with Boost 1.54.0 with the following error:/bin/sh: line 1: -ftemplate-depth-128: command not found. I did quite a bit of digging and here is what I know: * In boost.sh, the iOS simulator bjam and compiler options include "-arch i386" * The release notes for Boost 1.54.0 state that "Boost no longer supports the 80386 target CPU" * The Boost 1.53.0 libraries mentioned above appear to compile fine for OS X, iOS, and the iOS simulator using the same script * The Boost 1.54.0 libraries appear to compile fine for OS X and iOS itself using the same script Here is what I think I know: * When passing "-d13" to bjam (to generate debug information), it appears that the variable "CONFIG_COMMAND" is not being set when building for the iOS simulator. For the other configurations, this variable is set to the path to clang and includes the compiler options. For the simulator, it is empty which I believe leads to the error above as when bjam attempts to run the compiler using this variable, it instead runs some appended options which begin with the template depth. Therefore, the CONFIG_COMMAND variable does not appear to be being set properly causing the failure. I do not know why it's not being set as I don't know enough about the Boost build system to sift through the rest of the output generated with the "-d13" flag. I suspect an incompatibility with the "-arch i386" option was introduced with 1.54.0. I've tried changing this to "-arch i486" and "-arch x86_32" but the same problem occurs. Has anyone else had success with this? I'd like to use Boost.Log which is why I'm even attempting this with 1.54. Thanks!

[Interprocess] Page default
by Oodini 02 Aug '13

02 Aug '13

Hello, I use Boost.Interprocess on Windows 2003 Server. I am experiencing performances troubles. I am trying to understand what happens, and arrived on Microsoft web pages. I seems that on Windows, shared memory is implemented only through mapped files, and that only a portion of the shared memory is physically in the RAM (this limited number of pages is called "working set"). The Windows API provides some functions for this working set : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/cc441804%28v=vs.85%… I would have liked Interprocess wraps the functions GetProcessMemoryInfo() and SetProcessWorkingSetSize(), so that the full shared memory is put in RAM. But for now, I fear it is impossible to have with Interprocess performances similar to the ones provided by the alternative : data in the process memory.

[boost::gil] Type conversion in Generic Image Library
by Nestor Morales Hernández 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

Hello, I'm a newbie in this library and I feel a little bit lost. I have the following problem: I currently have an image of the type ` boost::gil::rgb8c_view_t`. I need to pass it to a function (from a code I don't mantain) with this prototype: void function(const boost::gil::rgb8c_view_t& input, const int index, const boost::gil::rgb8c_view_t::view_t &output) I have created an output image by using the following syntax: boost::gil::rgb8c_view_t::view_t output(input._dynamic_cast<boost::gil::rgb8c_view_t::view_t>()); At this point, the compiler accepts the image output as input for the function. However, I need the image back to the `boost::gil::rgb8c_view_t` type. The question is: - Is it a correct way to allocate the image output? - How do I transform it back to the type boost::gil::rgb8c_view_t? Thank you in advance, Néstor

[iostreams] How can I use the Stream Insertion operator (<<) with a filtering_streambuf?
by Stephen Greenfield 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

Partially asked in another question, but so far unanswered: Once I create a filtering_streambuf that is connected to the zlib_compressor() and the output file, how do I then construct an object that can accept data from the Stream Insertion Operator? void CompressUsingFilteringStreambuf() { std::ofstream myFile("hello.z", std::ios_base::out | std::ios_base::binary); boost::iostreams::filtering_streambuf<boost::iostreams::output> out; out.push(boost::iostreams::zlib_compressor()); out.push(myFile); // MY QUESTION: How can I use the "stream insertion" operator (<<) // to go through the filtering_streambuf // and place compressed text into myFile? // HOW DO I CREATE someStream? someStream << "text I want to be compressed and end up in the file..."; myFile.close(); } I have scoured the documentation and the web looking for the answer -- and come up empty.
