Error Messages when compiling Boost with VS2008 Professional on Windows 7
by Danny K 15 Aug '14

15 Aug '14

I regularly compile boost with bzip2 and zlib for use under Visual Studio. Usually it is not an issue but with the last couple of versions I get a strange error message. I was hoping someone might tell me what I am doing wrong or if it is nothing to worry about. I get the error message: "The system cannot find the path specified." I've search the boost forums and the web and can't find any traffic about this problem. the output of one of the compiler statements: compile-c-c++ bin.v2\libs\atomic\build\msvc-9.0\debug\address-model-64\architecture-x86\link-static\threading-multi\lockpool.obj The system cannot find the path specified. lockpool.cpp msvc.archive bin.v2\libs\atomic\build\msvc-9.0\debug\address-model-64\architecture-x86\link-static\threading-multi\libboost_atomic-vc90-mt-gd-1_56.lib The system cannot find the path specified. common.copy D:\id\vs2008\x64\lib\boost-1_56\libboost_atomic-vc90-mt-gd-1_56.lib The error message is printed throughout the output of the build.

Globbing library?
by Andrew Marlow 15 Aug '14

15 Aug '14

Hello everybody, Is there a globbing facility in boost? If not, are there any plans to add one? Please note that globbing is related to matching strings that correspond to file system objects functionality is neither regular expressions, nor is it file system related. Therefore it does not belong in regexp, expressive or bfs. IMO. Globbing is pattern matching using conventions that grew up with unix but have been widely copied to other operating systems and environments. The rules for the patterns are very different to regular expressions and somewhat simpler. I have written a directory iterator for my own use and I currently employ boost regexp for file name matching on unix. But i would very much prefer that it use globbing. The code is portable, via ifdefs, and in the windows branch I am able to use true globbing due to a facility in the win32 API.

hi, I try to intercept real-time signals (SIGMIN + 1, SIGMIN +2 ...) it works when I send a signal (kill -35 PID) it works well only if i send one signal, when i send another signal or same signal second time (kill -35 PID) the pogram does not intercept the signal I feel that run () stops the service after having received the first signal Thank you for your help, Here are the code: #define SIG1 (SIGRTMIN + 1) #define SIG1 (SIGRTMIN + 2) ... class Agent { ... signal_handler(const boost::system::error_code& error, int signal_number) {...} ... } ... boost::asio::signal_set signals(io_serv); signals.add(SIG1) signals.add(SIG2) ... signals.async_wait( boost::bind(&Agent::signal_handler, this, boost::asio::placeholders::error, boost::asio::placeholders::signal_number)); io_serv.run(); for (;;) { std::this_thread::yield(); } (I use Linux and g++) -- Merci d'avance Halim DJERROUD

[BGL] Question about using remove_edge() in boost graph library
by Yi-Ping Huang 12 Aug '14

12 Aug '14

Dear boost-users: I just start learning boost graph library and have a basic problem on using the remove_edge function in boost graph library. I would like to remove an edge in a multigraph. For a graph with two edges connect vertice 0 and 1, I would like to remove one of them, but kept the other. According to the user guide, remove_edge(u ,v , g) removes all occurrences of (u ,v). So I should use remove_edge(e ,g) instead. Here, e is a valid edge descriptor. For a single graph, g, I am able to perform both remove_edge(u ,v , g) and remove_edge(e ,g) operation. However, when I want to generalize the implementation to fit my need by putting graphs in a vector container, I got segmentation fault for remove_edge(e ,graph_list[0]). (The compiler show no warning message.) On the other hand, remove_edge(u,v,g) works perfectly. I am not sure what's the difference between those two syntax causes this problem. I really want to make remove_edge(e,g) and vector container work at the same time. So any suggestion that can help my bypass this difficulty is appreciated. Thanks a lot!! Yi-Ping

asio::ip::tcp iostream wrong byte count read for last packet
by Steve Coleman 12 Aug '14

12 Aug '14

I just started out with Boost and was writing a little binary file transfer app and ran into a little problem, so I would appreciate if someone could kindly point out what I am doing wrong here. My problem is in getting the correct byte count read in the final packet received. My last frame always returns the size of the buffer, not the number of bytes read into the buffer. Isn't iostream::gcount(() meant for this? If not, what is the correct 'Boost' way of doing this? int spool_binary_data() { boost::asio::ip::tcp::endpoint dataServerEndpoint(boost::asio::ip::tcp::v4(), PMMS_TRANSFER_PORT_NUMBER); boost::asio::ip::tcp::acceptor acceptor(dataServer, dataServerEndpoint); boost::asio::ip::tcp::iostream dataServerStream; acceptor.accept(*dataServerStream.rdbuf()); char buffer[2048]; std::streamsize nbytes = sizeof(buffer); FILE * pFile = fopen ("binary.out","w"); // count = getavailable(this->native_socket) ?? // stream->rdbuf()->available() ?? while ( dataServerStream.read((char*)&buffer, nbytes) ) { int bytes_read = dataServerStream.gcount(); // always 2048 std::cout << "bytes read " << bytes_read << std::endl; fwrite(buffer,1,bytes_read,pFile); } dataServerStream.close(); fclose(pFile); }

Boost 1.56.0 has been released
by Marshall Clow 11 Aug '14

11 Aug '14

Release 1.56.0 of the Boost C++ Libraries is now available. These open-source libraries work well with the C++ Standard Library, and are usable across a broad spectrum of applications. The Boost license encourages both commercial and non-commercial use. This release contains one new library and numerous enhancements and bug fixes for existing libraries. === Modularization === Boost version control has migrated to a system using git submodules. This shouldn't make too much of a difference to users, although the directory structure is now a bit different. Parts of some libraries have been moved into different modules, and several new modules have been extracted from existing code. All header paths should remain the same. The new modules are: • Assert: Customizable assert macros. Maintained by Peter Dimov. • Core: Core utilities used by other libraries, with minimal dependencies. Maintained by Peter Dimov, Glen Fernandes and Andrey Semashev. • Lexical_Cast: General literal text conversions, such as an int represented a string, or vice-versa, from Kevlin Henney. • Throw_Exception: A common infrastructure for throwing exceptions from Boost libraries, from Emil Dotchevski. • Winapi: Windows API declarations without <windows.h>, for internal Boost use. === New Libraries === • Align: Memory alignment functions, allocators, and adaptors, from Glen Fernandes. • Type_Index: Runtime/Compile time copyable type info, from Antony Polukhin. For details, including download links, see http://www.boost.org/users/news/version_1.56.0 You can also download directly from SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.56.0/ To install this release on your system, see http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/more/getting_started/index.html Thanks, --The Boost release team Vladimir Prus Rene Rivera Marshall Clow Eric Niebler Daniel James Beman Dawes

[asio] multiple simultaneous async_read calls
by bbxiong 11 Aug '14

11 Aug '14

Hello, all, If i write some code like this: boost::asio::async_read(socket_, bosot::asio::buffer(buffer1_.data(), len1, handler1); boost::asio::async_read(socket_, boost::asio::buffer(buffer2_.data(), len2, handler2); Will asio guarantee len1 bytes received by the first async_read, then schedule async_read2? or the result is undefined(like several bytes filled into buffer1, then next several bytes into buffer, then next several bytes into buffer1)? if the result is undefined, why asio don't add a check here? Thanks all in advance!

[Boost.Thread] Compile error: boost::promise<T>::set_value(const T&) doesn't exist
by Rob Desbois 10 Aug '14

10 Aug '14

Hi all, I'm having problems compiling with Boost.Thread's futures I can't seem to pass anything but a primitive type into make_ready_future. I've had problems with other parts of Thread (packaged_task, promise, unique/shared_future) that have produced horrendously unhelpful compile errors. Here is a minimal testcase: #include <boost/thread/future.hpp> struct foo { foo(int i_): i(i_) {} int i; }; int main() { // A const future ref isn't much use, but I needed to prove // the problem wasn't me trying to copy a unique_future const boost::unique_future<foo>& fut = boost::make_ready_future( foo(42) ); } With `BOOST_THREAD_USES_MOVE` defined before including the Boost.Future header I get the following error with gcc 4.8.2 and Boost 1.55 (full output at http://pastebin.com/0sePWBWr) ../../deps/boost/include/boost/thread/future.hpp:3634:5: error: no matching function for call to ‘boost::promise<foo>::set_value(const foo&)’ p.set_value(boost::forward<future_value_type>(value)); ^ There seems to be no overload of promise::set_value() that takes a const lvalue reference. Looking at `promise` and `future_traits` in `future.hpp` it seems that the const lvalue ref overload will only exist when `BOOST_NO_CXX11_RVALUE_REFERENCES` is undefined. That makes no sense to me however...surely the const lvalue ref overload is needed precisely when there are no rvalue references? (Note this happens even if I pass a mutable lvalue ref to `make_ready_future()`). If I don't define `BOOST_THREAD_USES_MOVE` it fails compilation with the following error (full output at http://pastebin.com/jBwiJLeC) ../../deps/boost/include/boost/thread/detail/move.hpp:183:54: error: no matching function for call to boost::unique_future<foo>::unique_future(boost::unique_future<foo>)’ #define BOOST_THREAD_MAKE_RV_REF(RVALUE) RVALUE.move() ^ Have I missed something? I'm unable to switch to C++11 mode unfortunately, but this seems such a big problem I can only assume I've done something wrong. I still get similar compile errors trying with Clang 3.4, and also with Boost 1.54 (g++ or Clang). -- Rob Desbois http://theotherbranch.wordpress.com/

[Boost.Range] Filtering elements at even position
by Arindam Mukherjee 10 Aug '14

10 Aug '14

I am trying to create a range consisting of elements in a container at only even indexes. Is there a way to write something like: vec | boost::adaptors::indexed(0) | some_adaptor_to_choose_even_indexes I tried with boost::adaptors::filtered, but the index information is only present in iterators of the generated range, not in its value_type so it is not available in chained adaptors. - Arindam

Boost 1.56.0 compilation error in iterator_range

Geometry layout (packing) algorithm?
by Belcourt, Kenneth 07 Aug '14

07 Aug '14

Hi, I’m looking for an algorithm that will take a largish number (i.e. 10^5) 2d or 3d polygons (mostly parallel-pipeds, e.g. squares and boxes) and partition them into non-overlapping groups where each group contains some number of polygons that might abut along an edge or face, but not overlap. Each box can be represented by a collection of line segments so I thought geometry might have what I’m looking for but I didn’t see anything in a quick scan of the documentation. Does this so called packing (layout) algorithm sound like something already in Boost, Geometry or other library? I have an implementation but what looking to see what other options exist. Thanks. — Noel Belcourt

Hello, I’m having issues with wrapping of boost::time_duration derived types. I can’t find anywhere in the documentation for when the time_duration types are supposed to wrap around. I have attached some sample source code below. The output is: SecCount = 80000000 is OK. Strange Stranger Problematic SecCount = 80000001 is STRANGE. I expect the output to be SecCount = 80000000 is OK. SecCount = 80000001 is OK. The problem we ran into had to do with seconds and milliseconds having different maximum permissible values. Any idea why boost::posix_time::seconds goes negative at 0x80000001 while milliseconds is not until much later? Thanks, Justin // // test.cpp // #include <boost/date_time.hpp> #include <iostream> using namespace std; using namespace boost::posix_time; //------------------------------------------------------- //------------------------------------------------------- void Strange(long SecCount) { long MilliCount = 1000 * SecCount; bool IsStrange = false; if (SecCount >= 0 && seconds(SecCount).is_negative()) { cout << "Strange" << endl; IsStrange = true; if (!milliseconds(MilliCount).is_negative()) { // If seconds wraps, why doesn't milliseconds? cout << "Stranger" << endl; IsStrange = true; } } if (seconds(SecCount) != milliseconds(MilliCount)) { cout << "Problematic" << endl; IsStrange = true; } if (!IsStrange) { cout << "SecCount = " << SecCount << " is OK." << endl; } else { cout << "SecCount = " << SecCount << " is STRANGE." << endl; } } //------------------------------------------------------- //------------------------------------------------------- int main() { cout << hex; Strange(0x80000000); Strange(0x80000001); return 0; }
