[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. Here is my code: Point.hpp > #ifndef RAPTOR_POINT_HPP_INCLUDED_ > > #define RAPTOR_POINT_HPP_INCLUDED_ > > >> #include <boost/mpl/int.hpp> > > #include <boost/geometry/core/access.hpp> > > #include <boost/geometry/core/cs.hpp> > > #include <boost/geometry/core/coordinate_type.hpp> > > #include <boost/geometry/core/coordinate_system.hpp> > > #include <boost/geometry/core/coordinate_dimension.hpp> > > #include <boost/geometry/geometries/polygon.hpp> > > #include <boost/geometry/multi/geometries/multi_polygon.hpp> > > >> namespace raptor { > > >> template<typename T, int tDimension = 2> > > class Point { > > public: > > Point() = default;

[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

[Fit] upcoming formal review for Boost.Fit
by Vicente J. Botet Escriba 05 Mar '16

05 Mar '16

Dear Boost community, The formal review of Paul Fultz II's Fit library starts on Wednesday, 2nd March and ends on 13th March. Fit is a header-only C++11/C++14 library that provides utilities for functions and function objects. Fit is: - Modern: Fit takes advantages of modern C++11/C++14 features. It support both `constexpr` initialization and `constexpr` evaluation of functions. It takes advantage of type deduction, variadic templates, and perfect forwarding to provide a simple and modern interface. - Relevant: Fit provides utilities for functions and does not try to implement a functional language in C++. As such, Fit solves many problems relevant to C++ programmers, including initialization of function objects and lambdas, overloading with ordering, improved return type deduction, and much more. - Lightweight: Fit builds simple lightweight abstraction on top of function objects. It does not require subscribing to an entire framework. Just use the parts you need. Fit is divided into three components: * Function Adaptors and Decorators: These enhance functions with additional capability. * Functions: These return functions that achieve a specific purpose. * Utilities: These are general utilities that are useful when defining or using functions Fit has been tested on gcc 4.6-4.9, clang 3.4-3.7, and Visual Studio 2015. For more information see: Github:https://github.com/pfultz2/Fit/tree/boost Documentation:http://pfultz2.github.io/Fit/doc/html/ Note that, as Fit is a functional library, the semantic of the functions is given in the form of `equations` instead of the classic effects, returns schema. This is because most of the functions have no side effects. E.g. the semantic of the function flip is defined as |assert(flip(f)(x, y, xs...) == f(y, x, xs...));| and the semantic of compose as |assert(compose(f, g)(xs...) == f(g(xs...)));| We await your feedback! Best regards, Vicente J. Botet Escriba P.S. Paul, now it is time to freeze the version that will be reviewed. I suggest you to create a branch on which you could fix the review issues.

boost::asio::read_until Segmentation Fault & Third Party Signal Handler
by Craig, Tom 01 Mar '16

01 Mar '16

My Linux application sis using bool::asio::read_until() to read data from a socket. The application also uses commercial, 3rd party hardware. Occasionally my program crashes due to a SIGSEGV violation. The core dump stack trace is shown below. It indicates that the 3rd party signal handler is invoked while my thread is waiting for socket I/O, and that the crash is occurring during signal handler execution. While I recognize that this is an issue with the 3rd party vendor (and I am currently engaged in discussions with them), I'm wondering if my usage of boost is incorrect, or if there is something that I should be doing differently in performing socket I/O? I am using boost v1.43. [cid:image001.png@01D17303.98B2DD10] E. Thomas Craig Principal Software Engineer SWIFT Division KLA-Tencor Corporation 408-875-7909 (work) 650-799-4787 (cell)

Also, I tried to add an initial Jamfile to build and run the tests as well. I just modified the Jamfile from other boost libraries. However, I haven't figured out how to run the tests yet using bjam to test my Jamfile. I get "error: Did not find Jamfile.jam or Jamroot.jam in any parent directory".

[gsoc16] Boost rejected as GSoC 2016 org
by Niall Douglas 29 Feb '16

29 Feb '16

Dear Boost, It is with a heavy heart I write to say that Boost was rejected as an org for Google Summer of Code 2016 by Google. We had our application submitted in time, it was reviewed by three members of the Boost leadership, our ideas list had six solid ideas with an especially solid seventh on the way, we were in very good standing with Google and there was no reason to expect rejection. We have asked for clarification as to why we were rejected, and we shall try to improve our application next year to improve our chances. We recognise that many students and mentors will be extremely disappointed by this news. We share in that disappointment, and all we can say is please try again next year. For those students and mentors who are continuing a previous GSoC on an existing Boost library, there may be a possibility that Boost may be able to fund those continuations this year. Each case will be approached by the steering committee on a case by case basis, and be aware that the standard required for funding by Boost is considerably above that of Google's with an accompanying high and detailed standard of funding application to the steering committee. Contact us privately if you want to know more. On other news we had been expecting to announce today that Bryce Adelstein Lelbach has generously agreed to take over as secondary GSoC admin from Boris Schäling who has served Boost GSoC for something like four years now, so he has definitely earned himself a rest! Our thanks to Boris for his service, and welcome Bryce to the team! Finally, I'd like to thank Jon Kalb who moved heaven and earth as he always does to get the GSoC application submitted in time. Yours, Niall Douglas -- ned Productions Limited Consulting http://www.nedproductions.biz/ http://ie.linkedin.com/in/nialldouglas/

Re: [Boost-users] Boost.Context stack growing inwards
by Thomas Ziegenhagen 29 Feb '16

29 Feb '16

Hi again, just noticed that the make_fcontext() documentation says that it expects the stack pointer to be at the end or at the beginning, depending on the architecture. So please re-read my last mail as a feature request: If Boost.Context is a platform-independent context switching library, please make its stack pointer parameter also platform-independent. Rationale: Booost.Context knows best on which platform it runs. If the API is supposed to work the same on all supported systems, its parameter should do so, too. Other than that: Sorry for wasting your time. Bye, Thomas
