Named semaphores in Windows Hi
by Kevin Williams 09 Dec '14

09 Dec '14

Hi I am looking at named semaphores in Windows. (Boost 1.57 with MSVC 2012) In a simple test, I create a named semaphore, and immediately do a "wait" after that, but the semaphore does not block. Am I missing something? Without a "post" surely it should block? Kind regards, Kevin

[Boost.Test] unexpected behavior after std::system(...)
by contini.mailing＠gmail.com 09 Dec '14

09 Dec '14

Hi, I'm using boost 1.57 with gcc 4.7.2 on a debian wheezy. I'm testing an external program that has a non-zero return code and i'm experiencing an unexpected behavior of Boost.Test library. If the test below is linked statically (commenting the first line of course) everything works fine and all the three tests are executed. If the test below is linked dynamically i get the following output: test0 test1 unknown location(0): fatal error in "test1": child has exited; pid: 32314; uid: 1000; exit value: 4 (here program hangs forever and the third test is never executed) Defining the environment variable BOOST_TEST_CATCH_SYSTEM_ERRORS=No circumvents the problem. But i don't want to define it on all of the team member's computers and test machines. This can be considered a boost bug? #define BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK #define BOOST_TEST_MODULE test_module #define BOOST_TEST_IGNORE_NON_ZERO_CHILD_CODE #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> #include <stdlib.h> BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( test0 ) { std::system("echo \"test0\";exit 0;"); } BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( test1 ) { std::system("echo \"test1\";exit 1;"); } BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( test2 ) { std::system("echo \"test2\";exit 2;"); } Any help is appreciated.

modifying brandes_betweenness_centrality_impl
by The Maschine 08 Dec '14

08 Dec '14

Hello all, Im trying to modify the brandes centrality in order to analyse only a subset of the graph based on a cutoff distance calculated by some other edge weight than the one used for the brandes call. What I have done so far is to add a shortest path search call before the main path search inside brandes_betweenness_centrality_impl. The first search uses the edge::m_metric_weight and constructs the distance map from 's' based on that weight. Then I feed the metric distance map in the 'brandes special visitor' and I check inside visitor's examine_vertex. Reminder that the brandes call uses the m_special_weight. While this works as a principle I have no idea how people with experience would do it! A problem with this is that while the metric cutoff can be small you still run both searches to the max (as if there is no cutoff). Any help on how to change the first 'dijkstra_shortest_paths' so that after reaching the cutoff the search stops gracefully and leaves the rest of the 'distance_map' to infinity? Thanks a lot and please let me know if something need more clarification. ############### struct EdgeProperties { double m_special_weight; double m_metric_distance_weight; }; typedef boost::adjacency_list<boost::vecS, boost::vecS, boost::undirectedS, VertexProperties, EdgeProperties> unGraph;

errors while compiling the boost-libraries
by steffen.wittek＠posteo.de 08 Dec '14

08 Dec '14

I was trying to compile the boost-libraries in order to use them in dolfin (1.4.0), as I got an error message in Dolfin as follows: > ImportError: /home/phoenix/Work/FEniCS/lib/libdolfin.so.1.4: > undefined symbol: _ZN5boost6thread4joinEv I thought that the undefined symbol pointed towards the boost libraries and so I tried to recompile them by including them into the dorsal script. A compilation of the latter stopped with another error however. The ..Work/FEniCS/src/boost_1_55_0/dorsal_build.log ends with > ...failed updating 45 targets... > ...skipped 50 targets... > ...updated 564 targets... and can be seen in full glory here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/529m6pb4ygcsxxv/dorsal_build.log?dl=0 Does anyone know how I can fix this problem?

[ASIO][Windows] async_resolve() Blocking on Reverse Lookup?
by Kyle Ketterer 06 Dec '14

06 Dec '14

Hello, I am working on a simple utility which scans an IP range and performs a reverse lookup. Using ASIO, I would like to use async_resolve to accomplish this. However, it seems that when using async_resolve() with an ::endpoint overload, the call is blocking. I am wrapping all async functions in a strand and calling io_service::run() from multiple threads. Here is an example: ------------------------------------------------------------------- class client { public: client ( boost::asio::io_service & io_service ) : io_service_(io_service), resolver_(io_service), strand_(io_service) { /* */ } void resolve_host ( const std::string & host ) { strand_.post( boost::bind(&client::start_resolve, this, host ) ); } void start_resolve ( const std::string & host_ ) { //boost::asio::ip::tcp::resolver::query query( tcp::v4(), host_, "" ); tcp::endpoint endpoint ( boost::asio::ip::address::from_string( host_) , 0 ); resolver_.async_resolve( endpoint, strand_.wrap( boost::bind( &client::handle_resolve, this, boost::asio::placeholders::error, boost::asio::placeholders::iterator ) ) ); } void handle_resolve ( const boost::system::error_code& err, tcp::resolver::iterator endpoint_iterator ) { if ( !err ) { /* attempt to connect */ tcp::endpoint endpoint = *endpoint_iterator; cout << endpoint.address() << "' >> " << (*endpoint_iterator).host_name() << endl; } } private: tcp::resolver resolver_; boost::asio::strand strand_; boost::asio::io_service & io_service_; }; int main( int argc, char* argv[] ) { /* io service */ boost::asio::io_service io_service; /* ip range */ std::string m_addr = "10.1.10."; /* client object */ boost::shared_ptr<client> m_client ( new client ( io_service ) ); /* add the entire subnet */ for ( int i=1; i<255; i++ ) { m_client->resolve_host ( m_addr + boost::to_string(i) ); } /* create threads and run io_service */ std::vector < boost::shared_ptr<boost::thread> > m_threads; for ( int i=0; i < CPU_CORES; i++ ) { m_threads.push_back ( boost::shared_ptr<boost::thread> ( new boost::thread(boost::bind(&boost::asio::io_service::run, &io_service ) ) ) ); } for ( int i=0; i < CPU_CORES; i++ ) { m_threads[i]->join(); } return 0; } ------------------------------------------------------ I am looking for suggestions on how I can take a multi-threaded approach to this. I am fairly new to ASIO so I appreciate any advice! Thanks -- Kyle Ketterer <reminisc3(a)gmail.com>

phoenix bind template parameter
by Philipp Kraus 06 Dec '14

06 Dec '14

Hello, I try to use phoenix bind to bind std::pow for double values, but I get errors, because the template parameters not set: phoenix::bind(&std::pow, _val, _1) I would like to compile it with C++11. How can I setup the template parameter on the phoenix bind? At the moment I have defined a function double mypow(double a, double b) { return std::pow(a,b); } but can I do this directly with std::pow in the bind call? Thanks a lot Phil

[Boost.SIMD] Interest in library
by dariomt＠gmail.com 05 Dec '14

05 Dec '14

Hi, I'm interested in trying out Boost.SIMD. Where can I download the latest stable version? Any idea when it might get proposed for Boost review? I think it would be beneficial if it is added to the Boost Incubator until then. Also, in http://meetingcpp.com/tl_files/mcpp/slides/12/simd.pdf slide 36 I see mention of a vectorized Thomas Tri-diagonal Solver. I thought the data dependency made the algorithm unfeasible for vectorization, so I'm *very* interested to learn how Boost.SIMD helps in this case. Is there more information available about this? Thanks for working in a library that shows a lot of potential.

Boost Serialization - Overriding builtin implementation for std::wstring
by cpp_learner 04 Dec '14

04 Dec '14

Hi: The current serialization implementation for std::wstring is not portable across platforms. To make it cross platform, we would like to customize the serialization implementation for std::wstring (by splitting "serialize" and providing our own implementation for "save/load"). Is it possible to achieve this? One way to get around this is to provide our own implementation, and not include the header boost/serialization/string.hpp. This is not an option to us as there is no way for us to enforce clients to not include this header at all either directly or indirectly. And unfortunately, the compiler does not complain if the same compilation unit has two different serialization mechanism for std::wstring (the builtin and customized serialization implementation, in which case the builtin serialization implementation is picked, which is not portable). Many Thanks AB

Fusion Move Semantics
by Ovanes Markarian 04 Dec '14

04 Dec '14

Hi! I would like to ask does fusion supports move semantics, or are all the values going to get copied. I use C++11 (clang with libstdcxx) and boost 1.54 (but can upgrade). In my use case I have boost::fusion::map and was wondering, that in case of moving of that map, is it going to forward the move call to contained values or not. Many thanks for help, Ovanes

Boost BGL question regarding depth_first_visit / undirected_depth_first_visit
by Mark Fanara 03 Dec '14

03 Dec '14

I am looking to add a TerminatorFunc to undirected_depth_first_visit similar to what is in depth_first_visit. I think I have successfully made the changes through mimicry (I am an old school C++ guy and still don't understand generic programming) My problem is that I don't know how to declare/define my own terminate function. Nor do I know how to call undirected_depth_first_visit with the new argument. I have tried searching for examples of calling depth_first_visit with a TerminatorFunc argument, but can't find anything helpful. Appreciate any suggestions you might have.

Does Boost 1.56 boost::async support auto scheduling (launch deferred)?
by Adi Shavit 02 Dec '14

02 Dec '14

Hi, Onc of the design choices for async() default launch policy was to allow the OS scheduler to decide whether or not to launch a new thread or remain on the same thread (presumably based on available system resources). Does Boost 1.56 or 1.57 support this default auto scheduling yet? It seems to be launching as many threads as tasks. Thanks, Adi

But boost/utility isn't a symlink - boost/utility is an actual directory with a few symlinks to files in it, but none of them leads to result_of_iterate.hpp. There's an email (http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2014/07/215233.php) to the developers list from back in July discussing this build break in the 1.56.0 beta 1, but I'm seeing this at the tag boost-1.56.0 for the 1.56.0 release in git.I don't seem to be able to build 1.57.0 either. Boost 1.56.0 wouldn't have shipped with a broken boost thread compile on OSX 64-bit, so I'm certain that its something bad that I've done. Can anyone figure out what I'm doing wrong from that command line or the error printout?

[Boost-users][Spirit] Semantic Action for a map of a map
by Ryan 01 Dec '14

01 Dec '14

I posted this question to the Boost Spirit mailing list but there doesn't seem to be much traffic there. I'm hoping that the main mailing list also has a few Spirit users as well and can possible receive some help. I'm wanting to add a semantic action for a complex rule. I'm not entirely sure this is the correct design. I need to parse the following EBNF grammar. EBNF value = (a-zA-Z_0-9)* tag = (a-zA-Z_) value tagValue = tag '=' value list = "@list=" tag '=' tag ',' (tagValue ',')* "@end" info = tag (',' (tagValue | list) )* I thought if I defined the basic rules I could then created a custom instance of that rule with a semantic action. I did that for the first "tag" in the info definition and it seem to work well. I was also able to create this custom instance for the "tagValue" rule within the info definition. The problem is how to create the custom instance for list. The list result goes into a map of a map that I've created within my class. I'm not sure how to treat the tag=tag as the key and let the tagValue be the value. Any help with the semantic action or changing the design would be appreciated.

LibBoost - Asio - SerialPort - set_option throw an exception
by Mikael Plouhinec 01 Dec '14

Hello, I have some problem using the libboost asio to communicate with serial port. I want to open my serial port with : m_Balance.open(BalancePort, (unsigned int)9600, boost::asio::serial_port_base::parity(boost::asio::serial_port_base::parity::even), boost::asio::serial_port_base::character_size((unsigned int)7), boost::asio::serial_port_base::flow_control( boost::asio::serial_port_base::flow_control::hardware), boost::asio::serial_port_base::stop_bits(boost::asio::serial_port_base::stop_bits::one)); but I have an exception with the character_size : Invalid Argument I put some log in the open method and I have found that my problem is on the set_option of the character size. Can someone help me? Thanks a lot.

[boost::iterators] Missing typedefs in v1.57
by news.gmane.org 01 Dec '14

01 Dec '14

The typedefs for difference_type and reference used to be in scope for classes derived from iterator_facade. Since v1.57 they have to be declared thus: typedef typename iterator_facade_::difference_type difference_type; typedef typename iterator_facade_::reference reference; This seems out of place for a class that was designed to reduce boiler plate code. However, if the change was intentional, please document it. Thanks, Keith MacDonald
