[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

Problems to use Boost Graph
by Oodini 04 Jul '15

04 Jul '15

Hello, I am trying to understand the boost::dijkstra_shortest_paths() function. I don't understand the second and third arguments. The documentation says they're supposed to be properties map : OUT: predecessor_map(PredecessorMap p_map) The predecessor map records the edges in the shortest path tree, the tree computed by the traversal of the graph. Upon completion of the algorithm, the edges (p[u],u) for all u in V are in the tree. The shortest path from vertex s to each vertex v in the graph consists of the vertices v, p[v], p[p[v]], and so on until s is reached, in reverse order. The tree is not guaranteed to be a minimum spanning tree. If p[u] = u then u is either the source vertex or a vertex that is not reachable from the source. The PredecessorMap type must be a Read/Write Property Map whose key and value types are the same as the vertex descriptor type of the graph. but that doesn't work. I have to use an iterator on the properties map, by using : boost::make_iterator_property_map(pred_map.begin(),vertex_index) Does the documentation need reviewers ?

Thinking in HDF5
by nitin chandra 30 Jun '15

30 Jun '15

Hello All, I have been on this for a long time and have done a lot of research / reading on this topic, HDF5. To use it for development of in-house software for design calculation of various alignments. A lot many time the basic alignment information is picked from a map / satellite imageries. Kilometre, ground level, geographic feature on the proposed route, etc. , in a csv file. Any where between 7-9 files are generated for each alignment. 1. How to read / write data into the HDF5 file ? What after creating root ? 2. In a regular situation, I have 2 input file with 3 column csv data, and 2 output files. How to do that within the same root ? Will be working in Python and c / c++. This is just the basic. If I can do this much, I can do the rest, hopefully :) Thanks to All Nitin PS :- Will post in scipy-user list too.

fusion error when compiling graphviz code using VC2010
by Carl Wallace 30 Jun '15

30 Jun '15

We have been using Boost's graphviz support for several years and have upgraded through a few versions of Boost with no issues in some long stable code. However, when we moved to 1.58 our Windows build broke. We are still using VC2010, with plans to move to 2015 in the not-too-distant future. We have not yet tried 1.58 in VC2015. The error message is very large but emanates from here: boost/include/boost-1_58\boost/fusion/container/list/cons.hpp(86): error C2664: 'boost::xpressive::detail::alternates_list<Head,Tail>::alternates_list(cons t Head &,const boost::fusion::nil &)' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const boost::fusion::cons_iterator<Cons>' to 'const boost::xpressive::detail::static_xpression<Matcher,Next> &’ I am not familiar with the fusion or xpressive libraries, but after picking through the error messages and review of diff of changes since 1.54 (the version we are moving from), this looks like a template specialization problem. The problem is rooted in a regex that uses xpressive in the escape_dot_string function in the graphviz library. In 1.58 the function at the line identified in the error snip above is defined as follows: template <typename Sequence> BOOST_CONSTEXPR BOOST_FUSION_GPU_ENABLED cons( Sequence const& seq, typename boost::enable_if< mpl::and_< traits::is_sequence<Sequence>, mpl::not_<is_convertible<Sequence, Car> > > // use copy to car instead >::type* /*dummy*/ = 0 ) : car(*fusion::begin(seq)), cdr(fusion::next(fusion::begin(seq)), mpl::true_()) {} When we replace this with the following implementation from 1.54 the build works and it appears the desired functionality is working (though more testing is required). template <typename Sequence> BOOST_CONSTEXPR BOOST_FUSION_GPU_ENABLED cons( Sequence const& seq, typename boost::disable_if< mpl::or_< is_convertible<Sequence, cons>, // use copy ctor instead is_convertible<Sequence, Car> // use copy to car instead > >::type* /*dummy*/ = 0 ) : car(*fusion::begin(seq)), cdr(fusion::next(fusion::begin(seq)), mpl::true_()) {} Any thoughts? The new code in 1.58 builds and runs fine with no mods on OS X. We have not tried Linux yet.

[msm] is that correct behavior?
by Sam Fisher 29 Jun '15

29 Jun '15

Hi Christophe, For an fsm with orthogonal regions if any region rejects an event (guard returns false), the library blocks all anonymous transitions. for example, an fsm has two regions. Region 0 returns HANDLED_TRUE, region 1 returns HANDLED_GUARD_REJECT for the same event. region_processing_helper combines it into a single "HANDLED_TRUE | HANDLED_GUARD_REJECT" value. However function process_event_internal<> (state_machine.hpp) creates handle_eventless_transitions_helper that takes (handled == HANDLED_TRUE) as a condition for allowing transitions. should it be (handled & HANDLED_TRUE)? as a result, fsm is stuck in event that has an anonymous transition to another event. PS. I've seen the same condition (handled == HANDLED_TRUE) in do_post_handle_deferred function, but I do not use deferred events so I did not check that part.

[PBGL] Creating graph on multiple processes
by Alexander Frolov 29 Jun '15

29 Jun '15

Hi! I am trying to create undirected weighted graph on two mpi-processes. I use add_edge function to add edges (master (pid=0) process is responsible for this). For small graphs everything is ok. But when I create larger graphs (for instance, number of vertices is 2^20 and number of edges is 2^28) the program hangs supposedly in add_edge. For mpirun -np 1 there is no such problem. What can cause this issue? Thanks for any help! Best, Alex

Boost.DLL formal review
by Vladimir Prus 29 Jun '15

29 Jun '15

The formal review of Boost.DLL library by Antony Polukhin starts today. Boost.DLL is a C++98 library for comfortable work with DLL and DSO. Library provides a portable across platforms way to: - load libraries at runtime - import and export any native functions and variables - make alias names for C++ mangled functions and symbols - query libraries/objects and executables for sections and exported symbols - self loading and self querying - getting program and module location by exported symbol The documentation can be found at: http://apolukhin.github.io/Boost.DLL/index.html and the source can be obtained at: https://github.com/apolukhin/Boost.DLL Please post your reviews on the mailing list and if possible, answer the following questions: - Should the library be accepted? - How useful is it? - What's your evaluation of - Design - Implementation - Documentations - Tests - How much effort did you put into your evaluation? - Did you attempt to use the library? On what systems and compilers? This formal review has a couple of adjustments in place: - It will run for two calendar weeks, not for 10 days, as a number of people said 10 days is too little. That said, please try to submit a review during first week, so that necessary discussion can happen conveniently. - The documentation site has Google Analytics enabled, which will allow us to see which pages and navigation paths are most useful for reviewers. No personally identifiable information will be collected. I will post the data after the review is over. Thanks, Volodya

[Boost][DateTime] Non conforming iterators?
by dariomt＠gmail.com 29 Jun '15

29 Jun '15

Hi, The documentation for Boost.Date_Time iterators says that "Date iterators are a model of Bidirectional Iterator". However, I am not able to use them in some STL algorithms because of the lack of a required nested type. The following simplified example does not compile: #include <boost/date_time/gregorian/gregorian.hpp> #include <algorithm> void main() { using namespace boost::gregorian; date v[5]; std::copy_n( month_iterator( date(2015,06,25) ), 5, v ); } On VS2013 fails with error 'difference_type' : is not a member of 'boost::date_time::date_itr<boost::date_time::month_functor<boost::gregorian::greg_durations_config::date_type>,boost::gregorian::date>' Compilation on gcc and clang fails with a similar error complaining about the lack of 'difference_type'. Isn't a nested difference_type a requirement of BidirectionalIterator? Am I using these date iterators incorrectly? Regards

[multi_index] are indices in a random access index stable on addition, can we have an "index_of" method?
by Nick Stokes 27 Jun '15

27 Jun '15

I have a stream of pairs of elements of type T, and want to insert individual T's uniquely into a container and convert the pairs to a pair of indices into this container. Boost.MultiIndex seems to be cut out exactly for this job, but I not sure about how to obtain the indices or stability of them on addition: Take, namespace bmi = boost::multi_index; typedef bmi::multi_index_container< T, bmi::indexed_by < bmi::hashed_unique< bmi::identity<T> > , bmi::random_access<> >> MIC; MIC elements; std::vector<std::pair<int,int>> pairs; for( const std::pair<T,T>& pt : stream ) { auto t1 = elements.insert(pt.first).first; // not all insertions are successful of course auto t2 = elements.insert(pt.second).first; pairs.insert( index_of(t1), index_of(t2) ); } // where index_of() is auto index_of = [&]( MIC::const_iterator i ) { return elements.project<1>(i) - elements.get<1>().begin(); } So my questions are (1) Is the implementation of index_of() correct? (or better, is there something like this already for random access indices) (2) Is the way they are used in above loop stable, where elements are inserted after an index is obtained? Thanks Nick

Both, in fact. See Gavin's mail for the rationale.

And then I wrote the disclaimer that sometimes you can't do everything with black-box testing. I tried hard to get a test harness up for some legacy code in the years before and got stuck in multiple nested class hell, some d- Pointer magick and class hierarchies hard to instantiate. That is the reason why I was able to actually grep for the friend declarations needed in those cases. Not nice in my opinion, but "an ugly test is better than no test" (see http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=203994 for more on a pragmatic view on unit tests).

[Test] How to Access Private Data from a Test
by Merrill Cornish 26 Jun '15

26 Jun '15

In the Bad-Old-Days when I had to roll my own, I would define my tests as methods of a special test class. If those tests needed to access private data in the classes under test, I would declare special test class as a friend of the class under test--one extra statement and everything worked. How do I do that using Boost test (1.58.0) with the AUTO_TEST family of macros? In the labyrinth of macro expansions, I found a struct name with the argument name from BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(), but a friend of that name doesn't work. The ideal case would be to declare the string name in BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE() as a friend so one friend declaration does it all. Alternately, having to declare a separate friend for each BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE() would be tedious (especially for large classes), but it would work. At the moment, I'm using the ole private=public trick: #define private public #include "header_under_test" #undef private However, I've already discovered one system header, <sstream>, that won't work with that kludge. There may be others. Is there another workaround for Boost Tests? I can't be the only one who has to access private data in tests. Merrill Cornish

Interprocess - 3rd process cannot read/write the shared memory
by Lloyd 25 Jun '15

25 Jun '15

Hi, I am working on Windows 7, boost 1.57. I am using interprocess shared memory. I have two processes A and B. A creates the shared memory with read/write permission, then B opens it and writes to it. In this case it works fine. As the next step process A terminates and starts again and opens the same shared memory. But in this case, it seems that A and B are reading/writing to different memory! Is this a defined behavior? If I make B to reopen the memory, it works! Thanks, Lloyd

[datetime] little problem with periods
by Georg.Kellerer＠lfu.bayern.de 24 Jun '15

24 Jun '15

Hello, i am using Boost V1.5.8 under vs 2010 with a german windows 7 64 bit. When I tried to calculate a time period I always ran into the same problem. The period is calculated one day too short. I wrote a little program to illustrate my problem. It's important that you change the value of the variable test to the current date. Is this a bug or do I use the library in an incorrect way? Thanks a lot, Georg #include "boost/date_time.hpp" #include <iostream> using namespace std; using namespace boost::gregorian; int main() { date today = day_clock::local_day(); date test(2015,6,23); // Change value to current date date first(1965,10,26); date_period period(first, today); if (!period.contains(test)) cout << "shouldn't be our testdate in the period?

Printing local edge list in PBGL

23 Jun '15

Hi, I have a simple program using PBGL (boost 1.58) which creates an undirected graph and prints local edge list for the specified process. However, only for zero process the list (edges(g)) contains edge descriptors, while for non-zero processes the list is empty, which is strange, is it not? The program text is following: using namespace boost; using boost::graph::distributed::mpi_process_group; using boost::graph::parallel::process_group; std::size_t nVertices = 16; int main(int argc, char **argv) { boost::mpi::environment env(argc, argv); mpi_process_group pg; typedef adjacency_list<listS, distributedS<mpi_process_group, vecS>, undirectedS, // Vertex properties no_property, // Edge properties property<edge_weight_t, int> > Graph; Graph g(nVertices); if (process_id(pg) == 0) { std::cout << "MST Boost running..." << std::endl; std::cout << "\tnumber of mpi processes is " << num_processes(pg) << std::endl; std::cout << "\tnumber of vertices is " << nVertices << std::endl; std::cout << "\tnumber of edges is " << /*nEdges*/ nVertices << std::endl; std::cout << "Constructing graph..."; for (int i = 0; i < nVertices; i++) { uint64_t s = (i < nVertices/2) ? 0 : nVertices/2; //uint64_t s = 0; uint64_t d = i; uint64_t w = rand(); add_edge(vertex(s, g), vertex(d, g), w, g); } std::cout << "...completed" << std::endl; } synchronize(pg); typedef property_map<Graph, edge_weight_t>::type WeightMap; WeightMap weight_map = get(edge_weight, g); if (process_id(pg) == atoi(argv[1])){ std::cout << "printing vertices:\n"; Graph::vertex_iterator v, v_end; for (boost::tie(v,v_end) = vertices(g); v != v_end; v++) { std::cout << process_id(pg) << ": (" << local(*v) << "@" << owner(*v) << ")\n"; } std::cout << "end of vertex list.\n"; std::cout << "printing edges:\n"; for (typename Graph::edge_iterator ei = edges(g).first; ei != edges(g).second; ei++) { std::cout << process_id(pg) << ": (" << local(source(*ei, g)) << "@" << owner(source(*ei,g)) << "," << local(target(*ei, g)) << "@" << owner(target(*ei,g)) << "," << get(weight_map, *ei) << ")\n"; } std::cout << "end of edge list.\n"; } return 0; } The output for the process 0: mpirun -np 2 ./simple_test 0 MST Boost running... number of mpi processes is 2 number of vertices is 16 number of edges is 16 Constructing graph......completed printing vertices: 0: (0@0) 0: (1@0) 0: (2@0) 0: (3@0) 0: (4@0) 0: (5@0) 0: (6@0) 0: (7@0) end of vertex list. printing edges: 0: (0@0,0@0,1804289383) 0: (0@0,1@0,846930886) 0: (0@0,2@0,1681692777) 0: (0@0,3@0,1714636915) 0: (0@0,4@0,1957747793) 0: (0@0,5@0,424238335) 0: (0@0,6@0,719885386) 0: (0@0,7@0,1649760492) 0: (0@0,0@1,596516649) 0: (0@0,1@1,1189641421) 0: (0@0,2@1,1025202362) 0: (0@0,3@1,1350490027) 0: (0@0,4@1,783368690) 0: (0@0,5@1,1102520059) 0: (0@0,6@1,2044897763) 0: (0@0,7@1,1967513926) end of edge list.

[Serialization] Boost segfaults in archive/basic_xml_iarchive.hpp
by Mccall, Kurt E. (JSC-EG411) 22 Jun '15

22 Jun '15

If someone could help me diagnose this segmentation fault, I'd appreciate it greatly. It has stumped me for a couple of days. I'm deserializing a non-polymorphic derived class, and Boost crashes when it attempts to process the base class: Here is the pseudocode: struct Base { int id_; std::string long_name_; template<Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int file_version) { ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(id_); ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(long_name_); // SEGFAULT OCCURS HERE } } struct Derived : public Base { template<Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int file_version) { ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_BASE_OBJECT_NVP(Base); … } } I tried the methods described at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3396330/where-to-put-boost-class-export-… for exporting the derived class using BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT, but none of them affected the segfault. I guess that it isn't really necessary to export non-polymorphic derived classes. Anyway, the code crashes in archive/basic_xml_iarchive.hpp in this code at line 92: // Anything not an attribute - see below - should be a name value // pair and be processed here typedef detail::common_iarchive<Archive> detail_common_iarchive; template<class T> void load_override( #ifndef BOOST_NO_FUNCTION_TEMPLATE_ORDERING const #endif boost::serialization::nvp< T > & t, int ){ this->This()->load_start(t.name()); this->detail_common_iarchive::load_override(t.value(), 0); // SEGFAULT OCCURS HERE this->This()->load_end(t.name()); } In GDB, "this" has a valid address ( 0x7fffffffdb30) as does "t" (0x7ffffff487b0). In GDB, executing t.name() yielded the correct name "long_name_", but when executing t.value(), the debugger complained about an invalid address: RuntimeError: Cannot access memory at address 0xffffffffffffffe8 That error message comes from GDB's Python utility for pretty-printing strings (the variable being deserialized is a std::string), which is invoked when I print t.value(), but regardless something is wrong in t.value(). Does any of this suggest what I might be doing wrong? Thanks for any help.

[Serialization] Non-default constructor and template class
by Mccall, Kurt E. (JSC-EG411) 22 Jun '15

22 Jun '15

I am attempting to serialize a template class without a default constructor, so I am overriding boost::serialization::save_construct_data(). I'm not sure of the correct syntax to declare that function. The line marked below fails to compile with a "too many template-parameter-lists" error. // Forward declaration of my class template<class Key, class Value, class Hasher> class HashMap; namespace boost { namespace serialization { template<class Archive> template<class Key, class Value, class Hasher> void save_construct_data(Archive &ar, const HashMap< Key, Value, Hasher > *t, const unsigned int file_version); // error here }} Thanks for any help, Kurt

[Variant]Maximum Limit of types in variant and fusion vector
by Elizabeta 21 Jun '15

21 Jun '15

Hi I want to use boost::variant with types more than 50. Until now I was using boost::variant with types up to 50 like this : #define BOOST_MPL_CFG_NO_PREPROCESSED_HEADERS #define BOOST_MPL_LIMIT_LIST_SIZE 50 #define BOOST_MPL_LIMIT_VECTOR_SIZE 50 #include <boost/variant.hpp> However , now if I change BOOST_MPL_LIMIT_LIST_SIZE and BOOST_MPL_LIMIT_VECTOR_SIZE to 100 it gives me compiler errors: Cannot open include file: 'boost/mpl/list/list100.hpp': No such file or directory So is 50 the maximum limit of types that can be put in the variant ? Also it seems that the maximum limit of types for vector fusion is 50, and can't increase that, and I want to have fusion vector for more than 50. Is this possible. Any suggestion -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/Variant-Maximum-Limit-of-types-in-varian… Sent from the Boost - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

bimap : Ordering
by Norman Goldstein 20 Jun '15

20 Jun '15

When iterating though a bimap with a left iterator, I notice that for the pairs having the same left member e.g. (L, R1) (L,R2), (L,R3), ... the pairs are not in increasing R, but in the insertion order of the pairs. Is this an artefact of the design, or an intention? The actual bimap I am using is typedef boost::bimap< boost::bimaps::multiset_of< unsigned int >, boost::bimaps::multiset_of< unsigned int >, boost::bimaps::set_of_relation<>, boost::bimaps::with_info< int > > BMAP; I set it up so that info stores the insertion order index. Thanks.

[Test] Small Enhancement Suggestion
by Merrill Cornish 19 Jun '15

19 Jun '15

I couldn't find the official way of suggesting an enhancement, but here goes: When a Boost Test currently runs in console mode, it logs the message lines "Running X test cases..." at the start and "*** Y failure detected in test suite 'My Test Suite' " at the end. That's all good. However, if <ahem> the test goes bad wrong and never reaches the end, there is no record in the log of which test did it. Suggestion: Change the initial log message to include the test suite name. For example, "Running X test cases from 'My Test Suite'" Merrill Cornish

Re: [Boost-users] [IPC Named Mutex]
by Lorenzo Trivelli 19 Jun '15

> >One thing you could try...in interprocess's win32_api.hpp, there is another implementation of get_last_bootup_time() which uses WMI instead of the event log (there were warnings in the source about WMI not supporting hibernation/clock changes correctly, so beware).

(in visual studio Project Properties -> C/C++ -> Preprocessor -> Preprocessor Definitions: add a semi colon ';' then t Thanks Tom, I'll try to fallback to the "old" WMI version (which BTW worked in the 1.44 version I we used before) I'd also be glad to fix it by myself and so help boost developement, , but I do not completely understand the usage of the system boot time... If boost needs in some way a tmestamp to differentiate things, in my opinion there are plenty of them to use instead of the last boot time. Obviously it has been done for a reason, but I cannot understand why :-D Best regards Lorenzo

Linking Boost Log
by Florian Lindner 19 Jun '15

19 Jun '15

Hello, I try to compile/link a boost log example: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_58_0/libs/log/example/doc/tutorial_file.cpp Using: g++ boostlog.cpp -lboost_log -lpthread with g++ 5.1.0 and boost 1.58 on arch linux. The trivial examples worked fine when I put #define BOOST_LOG_DYN_LINK 1 at the very first line. But with this example I get % g++ boostlog.cpp -lboost_log -lpthread /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccT2pz5x.o: undefined reference to symbol '_ZN5boost6detail12set_tss_dataEPKvNS_10shared_ptrINS0_20tss_cleanup_functionEEEPvb' /usr/lib/libboost_thread.so.1.58.0: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line Probably a missing library but which one? I've not really found any linking documentation and I was guessing so far... Thanks, Florian

[Serialization]: compiler error when registering derived class
by Mccall, Kurt E. (JSC-EG411) 18 Jun '15

18 Jun '15

I'm embarrassed to to ask this, but maybe someone could interpret this strange compiler error for me: I am registering a derived class everywhere that it is archived through a base class pointer: class MyDerivedClass : public MyBaseClass { … }; class AnotherClass { MyBaseClass *p; … void serialize(Archive &ar, unsigned int) { ar.register_type(static_cast<MyDerivedClass *>(NULL)); // compiler error here … ar & p; } At the line above, the error is error: no matching function for call to ‘boost::archive::xml_oarchive::register_type(AnotherClass:serialize (Archive&, unsigned int) [with Archive = boost::archive::xml_oarchive]::MyDerivedClass*)’ Does the complier think that MyDerivedClass is a member of boost::archive::xml_oarchive? Im using Boost 1.57 and gcc 4.4.7. Thanks.

[Boost] Visual Studio 2013 Debugger Visualizers
by dariomt＠gmail.com 18 Jun '15

Hi, FYI, I just found VS2013 debugger visualizers for boost here: https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/61f12e7a-bc62-4b2c-b02e-d660… Just download and double-click to install. So far works like a charm! I didn't find them listed in the wiki at https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/DebuggerVisualizers It may be a good idea to update the wiki page with the VS2013 info.

[Pyhton] boost::shared_ptr problem between python modules
by Tamas.Ruszkai＠leica-geosystems.com 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

Hi All, I use - Visual Studio 2013 - boost 1.58 with NuGet - 64 bit Intel I have a class (called Log::FileSink) that I want to instantiate via a boost::shared_ptr. This class is derived from an abstract interface (Log::ISink) which is wrapped (Log::ISinkRealizer) boost::python::class_<Log::ISinkRealizer, boost::shared_ptr<Log:: ISinkRealizer>, boost::noncopyable>("ISink", boost::python::no_init) .def("AddEntry", boost::python::pure_virtual(&Log:: ISinkRealizer::AddEntry)) .def("ShallLog", boost::python::pure_virtual(&Log:: ISinkRealizer::ShallLog)); boost::python::class_<Log::FileSink, boost::shared_ptr<Log:: FileSink>, boost::python::bases<Log::ISink>, boost::noncopyable> ("FileSink", boost::python::init<const std::string&>()) .def("AddDomain", &Log::FileSink::AddDomain): When I create a python instance from the FileSink and I pass it to the constructor of another class inside the same module then it works fine. >>> import DiagnsoticsPy >>> logFile = DiagnsoticsPy.FileSink("system.log"); >>> logFile.AddDomain("Sensor.SensorController", DiagnsoticsPy.Severity.VerboseAndAbove); >>> logFile.AddDomain("Python.DI", DiagnsoticsPy.Severity.VerboseAndAbove); >>> logSource = DiagnsoticsPy.Source("Python.DI", logFile) boost::python::class_<Log::Source, boost::shared_ptr<Log::Source >>("Source", boost::python::init<const std::string&>()) .def(boost::python::init<const std::string&, boost:: shared_ptr<Log::ISink>>()); class DIAGNOSTICS_API Source { public: Source(const std::string& name, boost::shared_ptr<Log:: ISink> sink); }; However when I want to pass the same "logFile" instance to a method which is defined in another python module then the conversion between python and C++ fails. boost::python::class_<Sensor::SensorController, boost::shared_ptr <Sensor::SensorController>, boost::noncopyable>("SensorController", boost::python::init<boost::shared_ptr<Log::ISink>>()); class SENSORCONTROL_API SensorController : public boost:: enable_shared_from_this<SensorController> { public: explicit SensorController(boost::shared_ptr<Log::ISink> logSink); }; >>> import SensorControlPy >>> sensorController = SensorControlPy.SensorController(logFile); Python argument types in SensorController.__init__(SensorController, FileSink) did not match C++ signature: __init__(struct _object * __ptr64, class boost::shared_ptr<class Log::ISink>) If I put the all the Python bindings (also the SensorController) into the same python module then the call to the SensorController constructor works.

[Random] Change in normal_distribution behavior between Boost 1.49 and Boost 1.56
by Jonathan Jones 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

Hi folks, Given the same set of inputs, this program is producing different answers in Boost 1.56 as compared to Boost 1.49: #include <boost/random/mersenne_twister.hpp> #include <boost/random/normal_distribution.hpp> int main() { boost::normal_distribution<double> dist(0.0, 1.0); boost::mt19937 gen(0); for (int ii=1; ii <= 5; ++ii) { printf("%2d) %g\n", ii, dist(gen)); } } I've isolated this to a change in the implementation of normal_distribution between these two versions (mt19937 is producing the same sequence of numbers with the same starting seed). My question is, is there any guarantee that this distribution is going to produce the same answers across different versions of Boost, given the same starting seed (zero in this case)? Thanks, Jon

So in most cases the default constructor may be empty and > is trivial to implement, while it can not be called by any external entity (except if it is also declared „friend“). Thanks Beet, That makes it sound like overriding load_construct_data() and save_construct_data() is almost never necessary. In what cases would it be needed? Kurt

C# application crashes due exception in exception_ptr.hpp
by Markus Pieper 15 Jun '15

15 Jun '15

Hi there, I´m new to boost so this might be a silly question. We have a simulation that is written in C++ and compiled as a static lib. It uses a few boost (v1.56) functions like thread. My job is to create a WPF GUI, that uses this lib. For that, I created a C++ CLR DLL which interacts as a wrapper between .NET GUI and the unmanaged libs. Everything works fine but closing my program results in a crash. This crash is described here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8144630/mixed-mode-c- cli-dll-throws-exception-on-exit And someone replied, that the reason for this lies in the exception_ptr.hpp beacause a "static exception_ptr ep" is being used instead of "exception_ptr ep". When I delete the static attribute, my program ends normally without the crash. My understanding of C++ is not that big, so I can´t say why it crashes here. But the boost programmers have a reason to do so. I also followed These advices (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.user/44515) but with no further luck. Best regards, Markus

Hello, I tried to find out which method is used by the boost library to transform random numbers from a random number engine to the Gaussian Distribution. There are the Box-Muller-Method, Marsaglia's Polar Method and Ziggurat's algorithm out there, but i could not determine which of those is actually used by boost::normal_distribution<double>? I'd like to know which method is employed here. Thanks for reply in advance, sincerely, Lars

Modify an asio echo server so that it does not send message back to client
by Nicholas Yue 11 Jun '15

11 Jun '15

Hi, I am writing a simple server that is listening to binary data bucket being sent by a client. I am basing the prototype server on the following: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/doc/html/boost_asio/example/cpp03/echo… I am wonder what is the correct way to modify the example so that it does not echo the result back to the client. The amount of binary data sent are substantial, more importantly, the client has no way to handle the incoming data on the socket.

eval_if fails - problem for C++ guru
by Robert Ramey 07 Jun '15

07 Jun '15

I've been having a very difficult time with a problem illustrated by the following program: It looks like the eval_if in line 51 isn't working correctly. That is, the metafuction get_promotion_policy is being invoked when both types are not safe types. I've been working on this for two days and can't see what's going on. Any help from a TMP genious would be much appreciated. #include <type_traits> #include <boost/mpl/and.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/or.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/if.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/eval_if.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/identity.hpp> struct safe_tag {}; template<class T, class P = void> struct safe : public safe_tag { T m_t; typedef P PromotionPolicy; }; template<class T> struct is_safe : public //std::is_arithmetic<T> std::is_base_of<safe_tag, T> {}; template<class T, class U> struct common_policies { static_assert( boost::mpl::or_< is_safe<T>, is_safe<U> >::value, "at least one type must be a safe type" ); template<typename Z> struct get_promotion_policy { static_assert( is_safe<Z>::value, "only safe types have promotion policies" ); typedef typename Z::PromotionPolicy type; }; // if both types are safe, the policies have to be the same! static_assert( boost::mpl::eval_if< boost::mpl::and_< is_safe<T>, is_safe<U> >, typename std::is_same< typename get_promotion_policy<T>::type, typename get_promotion_policy<U>::type >::type, boost::mpl::identity<boost::mpl::true_> >::type::value, "if both types are safe, the policies have to be the same!" ); // now we've verified that there is no conflict between policies // return the one from the first safe type typedef typename boost::mpl::if_< is_safe<T>, T, typename boost::mpl::if_< is_safe<U>, U, // boost::mpl::void_ >::type >::type safe_type; typedef typename get_promotion_policy<safe_type>::type promotion_policy; }; common_policies<int, safe<int> > t; int main(){ return 0; }

Experts, I am using boost::tuple as key in std::map. I would like to write my own comparison method (considering tolerance in comparison) The default comparison defined in tuple_comparison.hpp is of no use to me. Any help in this is highly appreciated. Regards, UJ

[Log] Failed to compile applications with Boost.Log
by lin li 05 Jun '15

05 Jun '15

Hi, guys. I am trying to to compile the tutorial code from Boost.Log with the trivial logger. But it fails with the error: "‘boost::log::v2s_mt_posix::trivial::boost’ has not been declared" OS: OracleLinux 6.6 G++: 4.4.7 Boost: 1.57 I have googled a lot about it, but it seems that all answers are related to some linking error, but this one is different. It seems that it does not even find the declaration in the first place. Anyone has similar experience?
