[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

Hi Folks Can anyone explain the output of this program... #include <iostream> #include <boost/range/algorithm/copy.hpp> #include <boost/range/counting_range.hpp> #include <boost/range/adaptor/reversed.hpp> #include <boost/range/adaptor/transformed.hpp> #include <boost/phoenix/bind/bind_function.hpp> #include <boost/phoenix/core/argument.hpp> int f( int i ) { return i * 2; } int main( ) { using boost::adaptors::reversed; using boost::adaptors::transformed; using boost::counting_range; using boost::copy; using boost::phoenix::arg_names::_1; copy( counting_range( 1, 5 ) | reversed | transformed( f ), std::ostream_iterator<int>( std::cout, " " ) ); std::cout << std::endl; copy( counting_range( 1, 5 ) | reversed | transformed( bind( f, _1 ) ), std::ostream_iterator<int>( std::cout, " " ) ); std::cout << std::endl; } Which is... 8 6 4 2 1768406272 1768406272 1768406272 1768406272 I'm using Gcc 4.6.2 & Boost 1.53 Thx All.

[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

[Interprocess] Communication between x86 and x64 issue
by Toni Neubert 19 Feb '16

19 Feb '16

I want to communicate between different platforms using boost interprocess. I am using vc12 and boost 1.58 on windows 7. My code below is a very simple example, that should work. But it doesn't for communications between different platforms... If I create it in x64 and open in win32, the process stuck at a lock at function try_based_lock in boost/int/sync/detail/common_algorithms.hpp In the other way around: win32 create, x64 open: the process crashes at name_length in segment_manager_helper.hpp while trying to find the name in index (priv_generic_find in segment_manager). #include <iostream> #include <boost/interprocess/managed_shared_memory.hpp> int main() { namespace bip = boost::interprocess; // open in WIN32, create in x64 #ifdef _WIN32 bip::managed_shared_memory msm(bip::open_only, "TestIPC"); #elsif X64 bip::shared_memory_object::remove("TestIPC"); bip::managed_shared_memory msm(bip::create_only, "TestIPC", 4096); msm.construct<uint32_t>("Data")[1](10); #endif // Get Data and print it auto data = msm.find<uint32_t>("Data"); if (data.second == 1) { std::cout << *data.first << std::endl; } std::cin.ignore(); return 0; } Does anybody have experience in this? Thank you in advance!

hi I am using like this where RunningThreads_ is vector containing boost thread object pointer(handler).I am using interrupt() for the interruption of thread interruption_point() catching that interruption then joining.everytime its crashing in join() for me but for others who have the same configuration its working fine all of us has windos 8.

Include line number in boost logs
by Florian Lindner 03 Sep '15

03 Sep '15

Hello, I try to implement that a log entry also logs its line number with boost::log. If any developer of it reads here, please also consider this a wishlist item... I think the best way to add an additional attribute for it core::get()->add_global_attribute( "Line", attributes::mutable_constant<size_t>(0) ); in my logger config that is called once at startup. #define logInfo(methodname, message) \ boost::log::core::get()->get_global_attributes()["Line"].set(__LINE__); \ BOOST_LOG_SEV(_log, boost::log::trivial::severity_level::trace) << message \ Is my idea, but boostlog.cpp:126:5: error: no member named 'set' in 'boost::log::v2_mt_posix::aux::attribute_set_reference_proxy' getting the attribute somehow seems to work, but how can I set the value of the attribute? Thanks! Florian

Noel Belcourt Thanks for the tip Noel, but it sounds like I'll be able to accomplish it using Adam's suggestions (I don't need completely optimal packing density). Since I'll be using the rtree for spatial queries as well it's the best approach for me. Adam wrote: > It is possible though it isn't officially supported.

I wonder if a per-node predicate is planned for the public API in the future (rather than the value-only satisfies predicate)?

[boost] [afio] Formal review of Boost.AFIO
by Ahmed Charles 01 Sep '15

01 Sep '15

The formal review of the Boost.AFIO library starts, August 21st and ends on Monday August 31st. Boost.AFIO provides a portable API implementing synchronous and asynchronous race-free filesystem and scatter-gather file i/o. It requires a minimum of C++ 11. It has minimum dependencies on a Filesystem TS and a Networking TS implementation (e.g. Boost.Filesystem and Boost.ASIO). Backends are provided for the Windows NT kernel and POSIX. The utility of a portable library providing strong concurrent race guarantees about filesystem and file i/o can be seen in its tutorial where a transactional ACID key-value store is built from first principles. Boost.AFIO was brought to Boost as part of GSoC 2013 and Niall Douglas has continued to develop and improve the library since then, generating two internal implementation libraries Boost.APIBind and Boost.Monad which are expected to be separately brought for Boost review in 2016. The documentation can be found here: https://boostgsoc13.github.io/boost.afio/doc/html/afio.html The source code can be found here: https://github.com/BoostGSoC13/boost.afio/tree/boost-peer-review Online web compiler playpen can be found here: http://melpon.org/wandbox/permlink/DR8wCpu5Rl20GMdM? Please answer the following questions: 1. Should Boost.AFIO be accepted into Boost? Please state all conditions for acceptance explicity. 2. What is your evaluation of the design? 3. What is your evaluation of the implementation? 4. What is your evaluation of the documentation? 5. What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library? 6. Did you try to use the library? With what compiler? Did you have any problems? 7. How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A quick reading? In-depth study? 8. Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain?
