[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

Weird compilation error when using boost::geometry
by 邓尧 16 Nov '17

16 Nov '17

Hi, I have implemented my own "point" as specified by the point concept http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_59_0/libs/geometry/doc/html/geometry/refere… When I use it along with boost::geometry::model::polygon/multi_polygon, GCC refuses to compile, tested on GCC 4.9/5.2. What's even more weird is that CLANG 3.6 would happy accept my code. BTW, the Point implementation is part of a large project, it difficult to replace it with boost::geometry::model::point.

[serialize] using virtual inheritance causes compiler error
by Douwe Gelling 02 Mar '17

02 Mar '17

Hi all, When trying to serialize a class with a virtual base class, I'm getting compilation errors. It seems to be part of a bug in type_traits, but I'm wondering if anyone knows a workaround for making it work anyhow. ultimately, the error boils down to "error: virtual function 'A::foo' has more than one final overrider in 'boost_type_traits_internal_struct_X'", using the code listing below.. It's simplified as much as possible, but obviously I need virtual inheritance due to using diamond inheritance. #include <boost/archive/text_oarchive.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/base_object.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/export.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/serialization.hpp> struct A { virtual ~A(){}; virtual void foo() = 0; template <class Archive> void serialize(Archive& ar, const unsigned int version) { } }; struct B : public virtual A { virtual void foo() { } template <class Archive> void serialize(Archive& ar, const unsigned int version) { ar& boost::serialization::base_object<A>(*this); } }; struct C : public B { template <class Archive> void serialize(Archive& ar, const unsigned int version) { ar& boost::serialization::base_object<B>(*this); } }; BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT(C); int main() { C c; return 0; }

[Log] Random "double free or corruption" in dtor of attribute_value_set
by robin.lorke＠jenoptik.com 01 Dec '16

01 Dec '16

Hi Gentlemen, I have an application that is using Boost.Log. The application is long-term running (days, weeks, maybe months). Currently I am experiencing random crashes in my application that seem related to Boost.Log. I dont't say that is is a bug in Boost.Log, but probably I am doing something wrong. I am using version 1.55.0 but I also tried upgrading to version 1.61.0 but it is still happening there. I am currently able to reproduce the crash by forcing logs at a pace of 3 records per second. Then it takes up to 3 days for the crash to happen. The application is multi-threaded and therefore several threads may be logging at the same time. For that reason I chose "severity_logger_mt". It seems related to the destruction of objects of type attribute_value_set. This is a gdb stacktrace of the crash (gcc O0 build): (gdb) bt #0 0xb6bdbed8 in __GI_raise (sig=sig@entry=6) at ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c:66 #1 0xb6bdf960 in __GI_abort () at abort.c:90 #2 0xb6c139fc in __libc_message (do_abort=2, fmt=0xb6cc8c44 "*** glibc detected *** %s: %s: 0x%s ***\n") at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/libc_fatal.c:200 #3 0xb6c1e17c in malloc_printerr (action=3, str=0xb6cc8d80 "double free or corruption (!prev)", ptr=<optimized out>) at malloc.c:4949 #4 0xb6b3fcb8 in boost::log::v2_mt_posix::attribute_value_set::~attribute_value_set() () from /usr/lib/libboost_log.so.1.55.0 #5 0xb6b42688 in boost::log::v2_mt_posix::record_view::public_data::destroy (boost::log::v2_mt_posix::record_view::public_data const*) () from /usr/lib/libboost_log.so.1.55.0 #6 0xb6b44c7c in boost::log::v2_mt_posix::core::push_record_move (boost::log::v2_mt_posix::record&) () from /usr/lib/libboost_log.so.1.55.0 #7 0xb6e66814 in Logger::addLog(Logger::LEVEL, char const*, char const*, int) () from /usr/lib/libtslog.so.1 #8 0x0005ba50 in addLogRusp (iMessageId=2, sMessage=<optimized out>, sProcess=0x8dee8 "Application", eLevel=Logger::LEVEL_INFO) at ../src/RLS-V/Platform/System.inl.h:303 #9 RLS::Application::fnThreadRuspOut (thread=...) at ../src/RLS-V/Application.cpp:1447 #10 0xb6e7aa4c in Thread::startFunction(void*) () from /usr/lib/libtscommon.so.1 #11 0xb6edae38 in start_thread (arg=0xb3eff460) at pthread_create.c:313 #12 0xb6c7c318 in ??

There are currently three sinks active: syslog, console and a custom sink sending log records via an IPC mechanism (http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~./IPC/) I am currently testing if it will still happen if I deactivate one or more of those sinks. I imagine it will be hard to tell the exact problem from the information above but maybe you guys could point me in the right direction where to dig deeper. I will happily provide any missing information and/or code snippets that could help. Possibly there are well-known common mistakes that can lead to that memory corruption in attribute_value_set? Maybe something like lazy evaluation of log expressions or multi-threading issues? Many thanks in advance for any help! Robin Lorke

std::future::wait_for() not working in Boost UDP socket async receive operation
by jc.francois＠gmail.com 30 Nov '16

30 Nov '16

The good people over at stackoverflow were not able to help me with this issue that I expected to be trivial. I am writing a UDP server app with Boost that should listen on a socket for 5 seconds and if no datagram has been received within these 5 seconds, move on to do other things. After some research I decided to try the solution based on std::future. The problem is that the call to wait_for() always times out as if no data was received. But if I set a breakpoint on the line that executes after the timeout and that I inspect variables I see that the buffer contains the received datagram and the remote_endpoint object contains the address of the client. In other words the socket receive works as expected but the std::future::wait_for() does not react. why? Here is my test server code: { try { boost::asio::io_service io_service; boost::asio::io_service::work work(io_service); std::thread thread([&io_service]() { io_service.run(); }); udp::socket socket(io_service, udp::endpoint(udp::v4(), 10000)); char recv_buf[8]; for (;;) { ZeroMemory(recv_buf, 8); udp::endpoint remote_endpoint; std::future<std::size_t> recv_length; recv_length = socket.async_receive_from( boost::asio::buffer(recv_buf), remote_endpoint, 0, boost::asio::use_future); if (recv_length.wait_for( std::chrono::seconds(5)) == std::future_status::timeout) { printf("time out. Nothing received.\n"); } else { printf("received something: %s\n", recv_buf); } } io_service.stop(); thread.join(); } catch (std::exception& e) { printf("Error: %s\n", e.what()); } return 0; }

Question on data structure usage
by Ram 29 Nov '16

29 Nov '16

Hi, I have a map as follows, boost::unordered_map<string, string> sample_map; I would like to look up the keys using wildcards/regex from the user and get the values corresponding to it(get multiple matches). It looked like there is no straightforward way to do it. So, I was thinking as an when I populate the map, I create a seperate data structure to store the keys, so that I can get the values(list) that match my user inputted regex/wildcard search. The I use this list to get the values from the map. What data structure can I use for this purpose? Is my approach correct? Or can I do this directly using the map? Please help me solve this problem. Thanks, -R

[Boost.DateTime] How to bypass checks in boost::gregorian::date constructor
by dariomt＠gmail.com 28 Nov '16

28 Nov '16

>From the docs I see: "date(greg_year, greg_month, greg_day) Construct from parts of date. Throws bad_year, bad_day_of_month, or bad_day_month (derivatives of std::out_of_range) if the year, month or day are out of range." In my use case, I know for sure that the year, month and date are all in the valid range of values, so all the validity checks done by the library become redundant. Is it possible to somehow bypass those checks?
