[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;

[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 ??

It's a char pointer. So we use an empty std::string as basis to concatenate the char* to it */ #define R_LOG_ID(x,y) BOOST_LOG_SEV (robot::log::appLogger::get(), y) << boost::log::add_value("LogID", x) << boost::log::add_value("FLF", ROBOT_FLF) #define R_LOG(x) R_LOG_ID(0, x) #define ROBOT_FLF std::string() + TOSTRING(__FILE__) + ":" + TOSTRING (__LINE__) + " (" + __FUNCTION__ + ")" While "R_LOG_ID" is the only one that is used currently. 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

[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

Need help with errors while building boost for clang on android NDK
by Robert Dailey 04 Oct '16

04 Oct '16

I'm using NDK r11 and I'm setting up project-config.jam to build boost using clang + llvm STL. I'm running into a few errors that I do not know how to solve. I will post my config file at the bottom. First problem is that boost does not know where to find tools 'ar' and 'ranlib': clang-linux.archive bin.v2\libs\container\build\clang-linux-android\release\link-static\runtime-link-static\target-os-linux\threading-multi\libboost_container-clang-mt-s-1_61.a '"ar"' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. '"ranlib"' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. How can I explicitly specify the NDK path to these executables? Second problem is related to some assembler stuff, I think. I get these errors while compiling boost thread: clang-linux.compile.asm bin.v2\libs\context\build\clang-linux-android\release\link-static\runtime-link-static\target-os-linux\threading-multi\asm\make_i386_ms_pe_gas.o libs\\context\\src\\asm\\make_i386_ms_pe_gas.asm:30:1: error: unknown directive .def _make_fcontext; .scl 2; .type 32; .endef ^ libs\\context\\src\\asm\\make_i386_ms_pe_gas.asm:30:22: error: unknown directive .def _make_fcontext; .scl 2; .type 32; .endef ^ libs\\context\\src\\asm\\make_i386_ms_pe_gas.asm:30:36: error: expected identifier in directive .def _make_fcontext; .scl 2; .type 32; .endef ^ libs\\context\\src\\asm\\make_i386_ms_pe_gas.asm:30:40: error: unknown directive .def _make_fcontext; .scl 2; .type 32; .endef ^ libs\\context\\src\\asm\\make_i386_ms_pe_gas.asm:136:1: error: unknown directive .def __exit; .scl 2; .type 32; .endef ^ How can I solve this? I have no idea at this point. I'm invoking the build using: b2 --without-python threading=multi link=static runtime-link=static toolset=gcc-android target-os=linux threadapi=pthread --stagedir=android stage And my project-config.jam looks like: import option ; option.set keep-going : false ; androidNDKRoot = E:/android/ndk ; androidAbiVer = 4.9 ; androidPlatform = windows-x86_64 ; using clang : android : $(androidNDKRoot)/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/$(androidPlatform)/bin/clang++ : <compileflags>--sysroot=$(androidNDKRoot)/platforms/android-15/arch-arm <compileflags>-Os <compileflags>-fno-strict-aliasing <compileflags>-O2 <compileflags>-DNDEBUG <compileflags>-g <compileflags>-I$(androidNDKRoot)/sources/cxx-stl/llvm-libc++abi/libcxxabi/include <compileflags>-I$(androidNDKRoot)/sources/cxx-stl/llvm-libc++/libcxx/include <compileflags>-I$(androidNDKRoot)/sources/cxx-stl/llvm-libc++/libs/armeabi-v7a <compileflags>-I$(androidNDKRoot)/sources/android/support/include <compileflags>-DANDROID <compileflags>-D__ANDROID__ <compileflags>-D__arm__ <compileflags>-D_REENTRANT ;

[Boost::asio] Problem using the same io_service with many sockets
by María Victoria Rocha 03 Oct '16

03 Oct '16

Hi all, I have defined an io_service that is used by two sockets, one of them uses tcp, and the other udp. When the callback of this async_read_some is called socket.async_read_some(boost::asio::buffer(readBuffer), boost::bind(&RequestHandler::onRead, shared_from_this(), boost::asio::placeholders::error, boost::asio::placeholders::bytes_transferred)); A udp socket is created with the same io_service and an async_receive_from is called. On the callback of this read operation I try to write to the tcp socket but it captures an exception with message: "unknown exception". When this happens, the client that is listening to the tcp socket, receives "End of file" error. I resolved this problem with an io_service per socket but I would like to use the same io_service. Someone has any idea why this happens? Thanks! Victoria

[Thread] Thread library in boost 1.62 broken with g++ 4.6.3 and -std=c++0x

Hello folks, I've just wanted to try out the new release and noticed that the Thread library was not building. Assuming this code: #include <boost/thread.hpp> int main( void ) { return 0; } When compiled with -std=c++0x the compilation fails with: In file included from ./boost/boost_1_62_0/boost/exception/detail/exception_ptr.hpp:20:0, from ./boost/boost_1_62_0/boost/exception_ptr.hpp:9, from ./boost/boost_1_62_0/boost/thread/exceptional_ptr.hpp:10, from ./boost/boost_1_62_0/boost/thread/future.hpp:25, from ./boost/boost_1_62_0/boost/thread.hpp:24, from test.cpp:2: ./boost/boost_1_62_0/boost/exception/info.hpp: In instantiation of ‘boost::error_info<boost::tag_original_exception_type, const std::type_info*>’: ./boost/boost_1_62_0/boost/exception/detail/exception_ptr.hpp:95:32: instantiated from here ./boost/boost_1_62_0/boost/exception/info.hpp:66:5: error: ‘class boost::error_info<boost::tag_original_exception_type, const std::type_info*>’ has no member named ‘value_’ ./boost/boost_1_62_0/boost/container/detail/pair.hpp:85:30: warning: ‘boost::container::piecewise_construct’ defined but not used [-Wunused-variable] ./boost/boost_1_62_0/boost/system/error_code.hpp:221:36: warning: ‘boost::system::posix_category’ defined but not used [-Wunused-variable] ./boost/boost_1_62_0/boost/system/error_code.hpp:222:36: warning: ‘boost::system::errno_ecat’ defined but not used [-Wunused-variable] ./boost/boost_1_62_0/boost/system/error_code.hpp:223:36: warning: ‘boost::system::native_ecat’ defined but not used [-Wunused-variable] Compilation works if I don't use -std=c++0x. The exact compiler version is "g++ (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3". I'm aware that g++ 4.6.3 is not among the compilers tested for C++11, but it is for pre-Cpp11; I'm wondering if there is a reason for that which I might not be aware of (any known problems?). Best regards, Andreas
