[Test] How to log output to both stdout in HRF and to a file in XML?
by Martin Ba 03 Nov '14

03 Nov '14

As asked on SO: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26505229/how-to-log-boost-test-output-to… I would like to enable logging of Boost.Test output to *both* the stdout/sterr and to a logfile. However, I would also like to have the stdout logging be in HumanReadableFormat and only the file output be in XML format. Generating a report file seems to be addressed [here][1]. ([official docs][2]) Choosing the format can be done in [various ways][3], but it seems one is stuck with either HRF or XML? ----------- Rationale: When running tests on or [Jenkins][4] server, the [xUnit plugin][5] [requires][6] the **log** XML output (as opposed to the *report* XML output -- `log_level` vs. `report_level`). However, the in-progress log output (in HRF) is highly valuable *while* the tests are running on the server, to detect hanging tests or to a quick manual check of where the tests currently are. So I want an in-progress HRF log for the tests and at the end I need an XML file containing the `<TestLog>...</TestLog>` output of Boost.Test (not the `<TestResult>` output). Do note that we run both unit as well as integration tests via Boost.Test, so some of them are quite long-running.

I'm new to boost, and I'm wondering about the best / most efficient way to transfer a large dataset via boost::asio. I've retrieved a datasetfrom a database (Cassandra) and I'm using boost asio to provide a network service that responds to queries. So I have a client socket and a dataset. I have to iterate the dataset, perform some simple formatting (e.g. csv, json, xml), then write it out to the client socket. But there's a lot of data. Perhaps gigabytes. So my initial thoughts were the producer / consumer pattern - the producer writing to a streambuf and the consumer async_write-ing it out to the client's socket. But I'm not sure this is a good approach - I know that streambuf isn't threadsafe and so managing the streambuf with locks may well become a performance bottleneck. Obviously, I don't want to replicate what may be gigabyte(s) of data from a resultset into a buffer just so it can be written out to a socket, So should I write this data synchronously straight to the socket instead? What's the best approach to solving this kind of problem? thanks for your consideration

[PropertyTree][variant] Reading JSON into a recursive variant.
by Arindam Mukherjee 31 Oct '14

31 Oct '14

I have a recursive variant definition that can handle JSON data. Is there a way to read JSON data using PropertyTree into a recursive JSON? Here is the variant defn. #define BOOST_VARIANT_NO_FULL_RECURSIVE_VARIANT_SUPPORT #include <boost/variant.hpp> JSONNullType {}; boost::variant<std::string, double, bool, JSONNullType> jsonToken; typedef boost::make_recursive_variant< std::string, double, JSONNullType, std::map<std::string, boost::recursive_variant_>, std::vector<boost::recursive_variant_> >::type JSONValue; Regards, Arindam

[Boost.Test]: How I can write custom external main ?
by NtVisigoth 29 Oct '14

29 Oct '14

Hi, Everybody! I've 2 questions about Boost.Test usage. My general cpp-source file appmain.cpp: // more lines with "#include"-constructions #define BOOST_TEST_MODULE TestMain #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> My suite-source file suite1.cpp: #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE(FooFooSuite) BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(testBarBarBar) { // more lines } BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END() Questions #1: How can write external main in my general cpp-file appmain.cpp? I want usage exe-file like : test.exe d:\test-files\ Questions #2: I see these lines in the boost.test documentation: boost::unit_test::framework::master_test_suite().argc boost::unit_test::framework::master_test_suite().argv This args and argv global, are these ? Can I use this in different suites without save to global variable ? P.S.: I sorry for my English.

[type_traits] Check if implicit conversion from one type to another is possible
by Aaron Levy 29 Oct '14

29 Oct '14

Which is the correct type trait to use to check if an element of type T can be assigned to an element of type U. Is it any of the following: boost::is_convertible<T, U> std::is_assignable<U, T> Now boost::is_convertible<double, int>::value is true while std::is_assignable<int, double>::value is false. What does this signify? -- Aaron Levy aaron.levy(a)yandex.com

bjam hangs on select (in develop branch)
by Alain Miniussi 28 Oct '14

28 Oct '14

Hi, I am trying to test Boost.MPI with Intel's implementation and I am stuck while trying to run simple tests through bjam. Bjam is hangs on the select (not pselect ?) instruction of the unix exec_wait. As far as processes are concerned: PID USER PR NI S %CPU TIME+ PPID COMMAND ....................... 16882 alainm 20 0 S 0.0 0:01.61 6507 bjam 16899 alainm 20 0 T 0.0 0:00.00 16882 sh 16900 alainm 20 0 Z 0.0 0:00.00 16899 mpiexec.hydra <defunct> ....... bjam calls a generated shell (below) which calls a mpiexe.hydra which work perfectly fine outside bjam. The mpiexec.hydra dies the the shell refuses to let it go. the shell script, generated by bjam, is: =============================================== [alainm@gurney engine]$ more /proc/16899/cmdline /bin/sh LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/gpfs/scratch/alainm/view/boost/bin.v2/libs/mpi/build/intel-linux/debug:/gpfs/scratch/alainm/view/boost/bin.v2/libs/serialization/build/intel-linux/debug:/softs/ intel/composer_xe_2015.0.090/bin/lib:/softs/intel/composer_xe_2015.0.090/lib/intel64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" export LD_LIBRARY_PATH status=0 if test $status -ne 0 ; then echo Skipping test execution due to testing.execute=off exit 0 fi mpiexec.hydra -n 2 "../../../bin.v2/libs/mpi/test/broadcast_stl_test-2.test/intel-linux/debug/broadcast_stl_test-2" blob > "../../../bin.v2/libs/mpi/test/broadcast_stl_test-2.te st/intel-linux/debug/broadcast_stl_test-2-run.output" 2>&1 status=$? echo >> "../../../bin.v2/libs/mpi/test/broadcast_stl_test-2.test/intel-linux/debug/broadcast_stl_test-2-run.output" echo EXIT STATUS: $status >> "../../../bin.v2/libs/mpi/test/broadcast_stl_test-2.test/intel-linux/debug/broadcast_stl_test-2-run.output" if test $status -eq 0 ; then cp "../../../bin.v2/libs/mpi/test/broadcast_stl_test-2.test/intel-linux/debug/broadcast_stl_test-2-run.output" "../../../bin.v2/libs/mpi/test/broadcast_stl_test-2.test/intel- linux/debug/broadcast_stl_test-2-run" fi verbose=0 if test $status -ne 0 ; then verbose=1 fi if test $verbose -eq 1 ; then echo ====== BEGIN OUTPUT ====== cat "../../../bin.v2/libs/mpi/test/broadcast_stl_test-2.test/intel-linux/debug/broadcast_stl_test-2-run.output" echo ====== END OUTPUT ====== fi exit $status [alainm@gurney engine]$ ================================================= Note that select only test for the subprocess output, at the hanging point mpiexec.hydra is done with its outputs. Any idea ? Alain PS: there was a cmake based project some time ago, is it still active or is bjam here to stay ?

[Boost.Polygon] Union filling holes
by Julien Nicoulaud 27 Oct '14

27 Oct '14

Hi all, I am using boost/polygon to do unions of multiple polygons, and I lose holes that were in the input after the assign() operation. Here is code that demonstrates the issue: // Create outer contour Point outer[] = {gtl::construct<Point>(0, 0), gtl::construct<Point>(0, 10), gtl::construct<Point>(10, 10), gtl::construct<Point>(10, 0)}; // Create inner contour Point inner[] = {gtl::construct<Point>(2, 2), gtl::construct<Point>(8, 2), gtl::construct<Point>(8, 8), gtl::construct<Point>(2, 8)}; // Define inner contour as a polygon polygon_with_holes_data<long> input_poly_inner; gtl::set_points(input_poly_inner, inner, inner+4); // Put inner polygon in a list vector<polygon_with_holes_data<long> > inners; inners.push_back(input_poly_inner); // Create input polygon as outer contour + inner polygon list polygon_with_holes_data<long> input_poly; gtl::set_points(input_poly, outer, outer+4); gtl::set_holes(input_poly, inners.begin(), inners.end()); // Create input polygon set, insert input polygon polygon_set_data<long> input_poly_set; input_poly_set.insert(input_poly); // Create output polygon set, assign input polygon set vector<polygon_with_holes_data<long> > output_poly_set; assign(output_poly_set, input_poly_set); // Print result std::cout << output_poly_set.size() << " polys" << std::endl; std::cout << output_poly_set[0].size_holes() << " holes" << std::endl; This prints: 1 polys 0 holes Any idea what I am doing wrong ? Kind regards, Julien Nicoulaud
