[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
by Andreas Wehrmann 03 Oct '16

03 Oct '16

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

thread no defined - issue
by Alexander Carôt 29 Sep '16

Hi all, one single (windows) user in my project community (http://www.soundjack.eu) has the following problem: #ifndef BOOST_THREAD_DEFINES_THREAD_ATTRIBUTES_NATIVE_HANDLE cout << "THREAD IS NOT DEFINED" << endl; #endif This statement is true but only for him – on any other machine (Win, Linux and OSX) is works fine. Does anybody know what he can do in order to fix this issue ? Thanks in advance, best Alex

help with boost::variant, accessing recursive types
by Littlefield, Tyler 29 Sep '16

29 Sep '16

all, I have the following: boost::make_recursive_variant<int, bool, std::string, std::map<std::string, boost::recursive_variant_>>::type node; I'm populating this tree. I'm using libucl because it has a relaxed JSON syntax but I wanted to have a tree-like configuration here. The std::map is a key:value pair obviously. So my questions: How do I get std::maps from this variant? I know boost::get exists, will it just return a pointer to std::map? does setting elements in the map set elements on the variant? I also didn't see any return info for what boost::get returns if the element does not exist. Will it just return null since it does return a T*? Finally, is there a way to see the type of the variant? I don't really care if it's a bool or string, although I would like to place some implicit checks on certain values when they're retrieved. PS: If there's a way to pull this off with boost::property_tree, I would love to know how. I'm looking at using libucl as mentioned before because it provides a nginx-like not really JSON-style configuration syntax. Any tips would be appreciated. HOpefully these questions are clear and make sense. -- Take care, Ty Twitter: @sorressean Web: https://tysdomain.com Pubkey: https://tysdomain.com/files/pubkey.asc

Unable to build boost 1.61 on Solaris 11.3 w/ DevStudio 12.5
by Jon Earle 29 Sep '16

29 Sep '16

Please bear with me as I am not really familiar with Solaris. I have an 11.3 box, where I installed the developer studio 12.5. Following directions at https://blogs.oracle.com/studiocpp/entry/test, I tried to build boost 1.61. It fails horribly! I get as far as: >> create compiler configuration for Studio 12.4 C++03 (using Boost.Config configure) so all the fancy C++11 stuff in Boost is not yet enabled even if we compile with -std=c++11. ] cd libs/config; CXX=CC CXXFLAGS="-std=c++03 -m64" LDFLAGS="-std=c++03 -m64" sh ./configure << which fails. Config.log contains: configure:1959: CC -std=c++03 -m64 -std=c++03 -m64 conftest.cpp >&5 CC: Warning: Option -std=c++03 passed to ld, if ld is invoked, ignored otherwise CC: Warning: Option -std=c++03 passed to ld, if ld is invoked, ignored otherwise ld: fatal: option '-d' has illegal argument '=c++03' ld: fatal: option '-d' has illegal argument '=c++03' Removing "-std=c++03" does allow the configure process to run but not as it was intended. Building with: "./b2 --user-config=user-config.jam address-model=64 -j12 --disable-icu" gives me a lot of errors, such as those below. Below my problem description, I've pasted the build errors I noticed until I broke the build. What is the proper sequence to build boost 1.61 on Solaris? Many thanks for any help!

Insertion/Use of boost::multi_index - new thread

local_time.hpp gives ... boost errors

Hi, I could narrow the place where boost errors appears. Using VS2010 (with 'show includes') on a Win7 machine. Boost is installed in C:\utilitaires\boost\boost15\boost_1_50_0\boost and this directory name has been replaced by - underneath (so it's version 1.50 !) When I write #pragma message (" avant boost/date_time/local_time/local_time.hpp") #include "boost/date_time/local_time/local_time.hpp" I get all these error messages : avant

ambiguous overload for operator>> error when using lexical_cast with qvm::vec
by kique G 28 Sep '16

28 Sep '16

Hi, I am trying to use lexical_cast to convert from strings to qvm vectors, but I keep getting an ambiguous operator>> error. I have overloaded the >> operator for istreams and that seems to be working fine when I use it to read from a istringstream. In a lexical_cast, though, I get the "ambiguous overload for operator>>" error. I have tried declaring my operator>> overload inside the std and boost::qvm namespaces to check if it was something related to ADL, but I keep getting the same error. The thing is the other candidates do not seem to make a lot of sense to me. Could somebody please tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance, Enrique Garcia This is a minimal example (I am building gcc/boost from the last versions on their repositories): #include <iostream> #include <boost/qvm/vec.hpp> #include <boost/lexical_cast.hpp> std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& out, boost::qvm::vec<float, 3> const& v) { out << "(" << v.a[0] << "," << v.a[1] << "," << v.a[2] << ")"; } std::istream& operator>>(std::istream& in, boost::qvm::vec<float, 3>& v) { char c; return in >> c >> v.a[0] >> c >> v.a[1] >> c >> v.a[2] >> c; } int main() { boost::qvm::vec<float, 3> vect { 1.0f, 2.0f, 3.0f }; std::cout << vect << std::endl; // This code works just fine. (4.0,5.0,6.0) is printed std::istringstream istream("(4.0,5.0,6.0"); istream >> vect; std::cout << vect << std::endl; // This code generates an ambiguous overload for operator>> error (see below) vect = boost::lexical_cast<boost::qvm::vec<float, 3>>("(1.0,2.0,3.0)"); std::cout << vect << std::endl; return 0; } This is the error I am getting from gcc: In file included from /usr/local/include/boost/config.hpp:61:0, from /usr/local/include/boost/static_assert.hpp:17, from /usr/local/include/boost/qvm/static_assert.hpp:7, from /usr/local/include/boost/qvm/vec.hpp:11, from /home/kique/Documents/Bitflow2x/source/main.cpp:57: /usr/local/include/boost/type_traits/detail/has_binary_operator.hpp: In instantiation of 'const bool boost::detail::has_right_shift_impl::operator_exists<std::basic_istream<char>, boost::qvm::vec<float, 3> >::value': /usr/local/include/boost/type_traits/detail/has_binary_operator.hpp:179:4: required from 'const bool boost::detail::has_right_shift_impl::trait_impl1<std::basic_istream<char>, boost::qvm::vec<float, 3>, boost::detail::has_right_shift_impl::dont_care, false>::value' /usr/local/include/boost/type_traits/detail/has_binary_operator.hpp:208:4: required from 'const bool boost::detail::has_right_shift_impl::trait_impl<std::basic_istream<char>, boost::qvm::vec<float, 3>, boost::detail::has_right_shift_impl::dont_care>::value' /usr/local/include/boost/type_traits/detail/has_binary_operator.hpp:216:8: required from 'struct boost::has_right_shift<std::basic_istream<char>, boost::qvm::vec<float, 3>, boost::detail::has_right_shift_impl::dont_care>' /usr/local/include/boost/lexical_cast/detail/converter_lexical.hpp:241:21: required from 'struct boost::detail::deduce_target_char_impl<boost::detail::deduce_character_type_later<boost::qvm::vec<float, 3> > >' /usr/local/include/boost/lexical_cast/detail/converter_lexical.hpp:270:89: required from 'struct boost::detail::deduce_target_char<boost::qvm::vec<float, 3> >' /usr/local/include/boost/lexical_cast/detail/converter_lexical.hpp:407:92: required from 'struct boost::detail::lexical_cast_stream_traits<const char*, boost::qvm::vec<float, 3> >' /usr/local/include/boost/lexical_cast/detail/converter_lexical.hpp:468:15: required from 'struct boost::detail::lexical_converter_impl<boost::qvm::vec<float, 3>, const char*>' /usr/local/include/boost/lexical_cast/try_lexical_convert.hpp:196:44: required from 'bool boost::conversion::detail::try_lexical_convert(const Source&, Target&) [with Target = boost::qvm::vec<float, 3>;

[boost][heap] Which heap to use.
by degski 27 Sep '16

27 Sep '16

Hi All, I seem to remember reading about this [the subject of this post] in the docs, but I don't seem to be able to find it [that page] now. What criteria should I use to choose a specific Boost.Heap implementation (skew, fibonacci etc), from the ones provided by the Boost.Heap library? Thanks in advance and have a good day, degski

newbie !!
by MAURICE Jean 27 Sep '16

27 Sep '16

Hi, This is my second 'account' to this mailing list. In fact I am a freelance who works for a company that works for another company and when I am somewhere I can't have access to the 'elsewhere' outlook. I am an old C++ (and FORTRAN and Visual Foxpro) programmer. But I am new to boost, windows (MFC) and Visual Studio 2010. My challenge is to 'upgrade' a huge app (250 k lines of code) both Windows and Linux from boost 1.3.x (and stingray and .....) to boost 1.50 and win 7 ... Boost 1.50 is the last version our customer can use because of its 'private' version of Debian. I am first dealing with windows. When I compile the solution, I get a lot of errors and I would like you give me the first steps to do. Here is an example about file ...\boost\boost15\boost_1_50_0\boost/mpl/list/aux_/preprocessed/plain/list20.hpp list20.hpp(157): error C2143: syntax error : missing ',' before 'string' list20.hpp(163): error C2974: 'boost::mpl::list19' : invalid template argument for 'T18', type expected list20.hpp(144) : see declaration of 'boost::mpl::list19' list20.hpp(167) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::mpl::list20<T0,T1,T2,T3,T4,T5,T6,T7,T8,T9,T10,T11,T12,T13,T14,T15,T16,T17,T18,__formal>' being compiled list20.hpp(164): error C3203: 'list19' : unspecialized class template can't be used as a template argument for template parameter 'Next', expected a real type list20.hpp(164): error C2955: 'boost::mpl::list19' : use of class template requires template argument list list20.hpp(144) : see declaration of 'boost::mpl::list19' list20.hpp(165): error C2955: 'boost::mpl::l_item' : use of class template requires template argument list So if you can explain me what is wrong (I mean I am astonished (?) to find a syntax error and I think I must not modify the file so the error may come from elsewhere ...) TIA Jean

[fiber] High CPU usage when fiber round robin sheduler is idle
by lin li 26 Sep '16

26 Sep '16

Hi, guys. I have a problem with Boost fiber in 1.62 beta 2. My machine is a 4 core machine with 64bit ubuntu 14.04 installed. In my program, I created 4 kernel threads each of which uses the round robin fiber scheduler. One thread 1, I created one fiber that read data from a socket in a blocking manner. Once it got some data, it writes the data into a blocking fiber channel. For the rest thread kernel threads, I created 5 fibers for each of them. They all read (in a blocking manner) data from the same channel. My problem is when no data is sent to the socket, and the system is idling, I can see very high CPU usage on three cores. I profiled the code, it seems to me that the kernel threads keep calling fiber scheduler to sleep then wake up again. I suspect that the time interval for the function suspend_until() may be too short. If that is the case, then how can I increase it?

[serialization] Runtime overhead of serialization archives
by georg＠schorsch-tech.de 25 Sep '16

25 Sep '16

Hi all, currently i try to measure the runtime overhead of serialization vs. plain c-style serialization. The goal is to send it from one process to an other process on the same machine. As my statemachines are written with boost::msm, i want to deliver types. For the IPC i used interprocess::message_queue. I wrote a template function for the test and added a trait to plug in the test functions. I tested on the same machine, once with Linux Debian stretch x64 and Win 10 x64 MSVC 2015. What really astonish me is the fact, that the measured times using boost::serilization is so high compared to "c-style: id + data" method. In the c-style method i used a FNV hash of the type name as the ID. All tests were done on a Intel Core i7 2670QM CPU. All results in sec. I sent/received 100000 objects over a message_queue. Boost 1.61.0 Linux x86_64 / gcc 6.1.1 Win 10 x64/ MSVC 2015 Boost XML Send 2.220753 8.255834 Boost XML Receive 3.208353 10.14462 Boost Text Send 2.024946 8.578654 Boost Text Receive 3.207359 10.704126 Boost BinarySend 2.018026 8.363865 Boost Binary Receive 3.17984 11.201501 Cstyle Send 0.13566 0.056814 Cstyle Receive 0.087906 0.058706 Char Send 0.071683 0.013965 Char Receive 0.062119 0.012631 To measure the real overhead of the message passing, i made a test and just sent 100000 plain chars over the "wire". There are two strange things: a) The serilization with boost seems to be about 16 times slower than the plain c-style method, the receive seems to be about 30 times slower. I think i do something wrong..... he tests were compiled on release mode. b) On the same hardware, the Windows implementation is so much slower than the Linux one... about factor 3. But at the c-style method, it turns around.... Linux is slower than Windows. Has anyone an idea whats the issue here?

[Ranges] Range adaptors and range lifetimes
by Álex Puchades 23 Sep '16

23 Sep '16

Hi boost users! I'm having some lifetime issues with range adaptors. It seems boost adaptors (at least, transformed_range) only store iterators from the original range, letting it go out of scope [1]. Unfortunately, this makes boost adaptors not compatible with ranges that return iterators that are only valid while the original range is in scope (ie: any iterator that references the original range). This type of ranges are useful to avoid the fat-iterator problem, as seen here [2]. Is there any reason for the current behaviour? Should I file a bug or has it been discussed before? Thanks for your help [1] https://github.com/boostorg/range/blob/develop/include/boost/range/adaptor/… [2] http://ericniebler.com/2013/11/07/input-iterators-vs-input-ranges/ -- Álex Puchades

[Parallel BGL] Poor scalability of dijkstra and delta stepping parallel graph algorithms
by Alexander Frolov 21 Sep '16

21 Sep '16

Hi! I am evaluating scalability on various graph algorithms and found that base parallel SSSP algorithms in PBGL does not scale well in my cases. The plots for rmat (scale=20 and 22) are attached. The source code for the benchmark are attached as well. The main issue that makes me think that I'm doing smth wrong is that execution time of delta stepping algorithm is _increasing_ with node number. I tried to check the code but has not found anything suspicious. Can anybody help me with this issue? Best, Alexander

[Interprocess]: using condition variables with readers-writer lock (named_sharable_mutex)
by Chris Evans 21 Sep '16

21 Sep '16

Hi, I am trying to use condition variables to signify updated data in a managed_shared_memory segment. I have one "writer" and multiple "readers" of the shared state, so I am using a readers-writer lock as follows: using SharedMutex = bi::named_sharable_mutex; using ReadLock = bi::sharable_lock<SharedMutex>; using WriteLock = bi::scoped_lock<SharedMutex>; using NewEntryCondition = bi::named_condition_any; // With a "writer" block as follows: { WriteLock w_lock( sh_mut_ ); // Update the shared memory object sh_cond_.notify_all(); } // And a "reader" block as follows (many processes call the following simultaneously): { ReadLock r_lock( sh_mut_ ); sh_cond_.wait( r_lock, []() { std::cout << "checking predicate..." << std::endl; // predicate logic goes here... }); // Access object in shared memory here } Unfortunately, although the code compiles, the reader processes are never awakened from wait() and block forever. According to the following thread from 2011: http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2011/02/66053.php "POSIX does not support condition variables with read-write locks (although I think Windows Vista does) so Interprocess does not offer any support for this." At the time, it appears named_condition_any didn't yet exist. Has the status of this changed in the last 5 years? Is there a suggested way of implementing readers-writer locks with condition variables using boost::interprocess?

[compute] extending meta_kernel functionality
by Oswin Krause 20 Sep '16

20 Sep '16

Hi, I am trying to use boost.compute to extend my linear algebra library to GPUs. so far it helped me a lot with vectors as i can directly use the iterator interface. Matrices are harder. for matrices i need to overload the operator matrix(i,j)-> return the element (i,j). For this i have to return an expression which then offers operator<< with meta_kernel, for example template<class T, class IndexExpr1, class IndexExpr2> inline meta_kernel& operator<<(boost::compute::detail::meta_kernel &kernel, const matrix_element_expr<T, IndexExpr1, IndexExpr2> &expr) { return kernel << kernel.get_buffer_identifier<T>(expr.m_buffer, expr.m_address_space) << '[' << expr.m_expr1 <<"*" <<expr.m_stride1<<"+"<<expr.m_expr2<< "*"<<expr.m_stride2 << ']'; } Unfortunately all of this is in namespace boost::compute::detail, making it a no-go area. Therefore two questions: 1. How stable is i?/can meta_kernel be moved into a normal namespace? 2. Is there a different way to achieve this? (Note that the code above is only an example. I could hack it in this case using the return type of buffer_iterator but not in all cases unfortunately...)

boost::context "main" stack
by Michael Steinberg 20 Sep '16

20 Sep '16

Hello, is there some way to temporarily run a function on the main stack? I played around a bit, but failed ultimately since the first stub function to be called is getting a "null" context which I assume to be only a valid "return-context". We're facing a problem where a dialog run modally inside a context runs webkit, which triggers garbage collection, which fails miserably since it assumes we're on the "native" stack. If it were possible to run something "on-top" of the main stack, this could maybe be circumvented. Thank you, Michael

Insertion/Use of boost::multi_index
by Ram 19 Sep '16

19 Sep '16

Hi All , I have created a boost::multi_index container for my use and it compiles successfully. I would like to add my pointer objects to it. boost::multi_index does not seem to have an insert method defined which just takes one arguement which is what I would like the container to store. Maybe I didnt understand how boost::multi_index is meant to be used. Can you please explain to me how to insert an object which I wish the store in the container defined? How is it intended to be used? The container I defined is , typedef boost::multi_index_ClassX< ClassX*, boost::multi_index::indexed_by< boost::multi_index::hashed_unique< boost::multi_index::const_mem_fun<ParentOfClassX, Int64, &ParentOfClassX::getKey1>, boost::multi_index::const_mem_fun<ParentOfClassX, Int64, &ParentOfClassX::getKey2>, > > > MultiIndexedClassX; I would like to do an equivalent of, MultiIndexedClassX sample; ClassX a; sample.insert(&a); <- Since I am interested in storing a *X and I would like it to be indexed by various parameters of X. Also please let me know how to, 1. Insert *X into the container 2. Look up by a) Value of ParentOfClassX::Key1 b) Value of ParentOfClassX::Key2 Please also let me know if I have some basic understanding wrong since I am getting confused a lot in trying to use boost::multi_index. Thanks in advance, Ram

[Graph] Is there an active maintainer for Boost.Graph?
by Rohan Shah 19 Sep '16

19 Sep '16

Hi all. I'm wondering whether Boost.Graph currently has an active maintainer. I only ask because there is a fairly active github repository ( https://github.com/boostorg/graph) but it seems that important commits fail to make it into the main release on the website. For example, I would consider this (https://github.com/boostorg/graph/commit/ 8ece8fac15560cf38cf3ffbb1d56708ef8e586a2) commit to be fairly critical - Without it part of depth_first_search seems to be somewhat broken, and that's a core algorithm. And that commit is from 2014! A conversation on #boost IRC suggested I mention this problem here. Note: I am not volunteering myself to help fix this - I'm simply not qualified for it. Sorry.

[boost] [bjam] combinations of options
by Lorenzo Caminiti 19 Sep '16

19 Sep '16

Hello all, When I use bjam the following will compile my code with combinations of MSVC, GCC, and CLang for both shared and static linking: $ bjam toolset=msvc,gcc,clang link=shared,static # (1) Is there a way to define a variant, target, or something else in the Jamfiles so that I can shortcut the above by typing just the variant target at the command line: $ bjam all_toolset_link_combinations # equivalent to (1) above I am asking this just for convenience because I have a feature like toolset but with 30+ values so it'd be nice to shortcut it to a single target on the bjam command line. Thank you. --Lorenzo

[test] Init framework before dataset generation
by Florian Lindner 16 Sep '16

16 Sep '16

Hello, I try to use boost test with data test cases: std::vector<float> fibonacci() { std::cout << "Data Set" << std::endl; [...] } BOOST_DATA_TEST_CASE(datatest, boost::unit_test::data::make(fibonacci()), mapping) { std::cout << "Datatype" << typeid(mapping).name() << std::endl; } The problem of that is, that fibonacci is initialized before anything else. The order of initializations is: Data Set main init_unit_test Global Fixture That works fine here, but my fibonacci uses MPI which needs to initialized by MPI_Init. I want to do that initialization in the global fixture or int main or init_unit_tests, once for the entire test runner. Is there anything I can do about that and belay initialization of Data Set after one of the others? Thanks, Florian

[Boost.Graph] Accessing underlying graph of a boost::reverse_graph
by Björn Pollex 13 Sep '16

13 Sep '16

Hello, I am currently trying to find out if there is a way to access the underlying graph of a boost::reverse_graph [1]. There does not seem to be support for this. I want to use this to generically define interior edge-properties for reversed graphs, if the underlying graph has them as well. Currently this does not work, because I cannot access the underlying graph object. Am I overlooking something? If not, where could I request to add this?

"Re: [boost] Boost-1.62: How to get list of all dirs under 'run-tests libs:' target from status/Jamfile?"
by Sergey Sprogis 09 Sep '16

09 Sep '16

This is nice idea, but unfortunately does not work for my purpose of calculatingpass rates for every test suite of regression testing. It would fit perfectly if instead of ---dumptest b2 will also have another option, something like: --dumptestdirs. I mean, the option which generates the whole list of dirs containing all jamfiles executed for full regression testing. Actually, I spent some time trying to generate such list of dirs based on the output produced by 'b2 -n -a -d0 --dump-tests', but was not able to find general algorithm [ wout using specific library names and whout parsing the content of jamfiles ] which transforms list of tests into the list of test dirs from which they are launched [ assuming that each test should be executed only once ]. Here just couple of examples which demonstarte those difficulties: 1. In 'wave' its 'test' subdir does not contain jamfile like many other libsdo, but rather wave's jamfile is located inside internal 'build' subdirectory, and it launches testslocated from 'testlexers' 'testwave' subdirs which are located on the same level as 'build' itself. When my script sees those wave tests from --dumptest output, how should it figure out that jamfile which launches them is located inside 'build' dir? 2. Inside 'unordered' library there are two subdirs with jamfiles: test/exception and test/unordered. All tests for 'unordered' may be run in two similar ways: either by executing both those jamfiles, or by executing jamfile which is located on higher level inside 'test' subdir. But to run every test once the script should choose one or another way. Now, in a similar situation for 'core' library, in order to run all its tests one time my script should run both jamfiles: internal one located inside core/test, and also another one located in core/test/swap. How the script should resolve such ambiguity for 'unordered' and core' libraries? So, I think that list of test dirs which was present in status/Jamfile.v2 in boost-1.61.0 was really useful to me. But, of course if it was created manually, and there is no easy way to do it automatically, then probably, I should also create it manually for Boost-1.62 and all later versions.

Preprocessor: Expaning empty VA_ARGS

Hi guys, While trying to implementing a new feature, I came across a question concerning iterator/range validity of boost::multi_index. To understand the question, here is my setup: <code> // Database entry. struct Entry { int key1; int key2; }; // Access-keys. struct Index1{}; struct Index2{}; using namespace boost::multi_index; using namespace boost; // The multi_index database. using Database = multi_index_container< Entry, indexed_by< hashed_non_unique< tag<Index1>, member<Entry, int, &Entry::key1> >, hashed_non_unique< tag<Index2>, member<Entry, int, &Entry::key2> > > >; Database db; /* ... Here db is getting filled. ... */ </code> I obtain a range of entries from that database with the same value for key1 through the first index and want to modify each single entry of that range. However, I will only modify key2 (which is only used as key in the other index)! My main question is now: Does modifying an entry invalidate my range although I do not modify the member that was used as key for obtaining the range? The code in question would possibly look like this: <code> auto& index1 = db.get<Index1>(); auto range = index1.equal_range(42); for (auto it = range.first; it != range.second; ++it) { index1.modify(it, [](Entry& entry) { entry.key2 = 123; // <---- Does this invalidate my range? // entry.key1 is not getting modified! }); } </code> My follow-up question is then: If the range is indeed invalidated, what would be a working solution for that problem? Incrementing the loop-iterator by hand before modifying the entry (and not letting the loop do it)? So, would the following be a valid solution? <code> auto& index1 = db.get<Index1>(); auto range = index1.equal_range(42); if (range.first != range.second) { auto it = range.first; auto end = --range.second; do { index1.modify(it++, [](Entry& entry) { entry.key2 = 123; // <---- Does this invalidate my range? // entry.key1 is not getting modified! }); while (it != end); } </code> Of course, neither do I want to iterate over an entry twice (and thereby modify it twice) nor do I want miss an entry. And one last question: Does this problem or its solution apply to all index-types or just to hashed indexes? Thanks for the clarification. Deniz PS: Oh and by the way: Boost.MultiIndex is a really cool library. :-)

[range] const-only UDT works as std algos, but not with boost range.
by John 08 Sep '16

08 Sep '16

A class that exposes a const_iterator, but does not expose a mutable iterator, works with std:: algorithms and range-for() loop, but does not work with boost range. // This works with std algorithms and range-for, but not with boost range. class C { public: typedef blah const_iterator; const_iterator begin() const; const_iterator end() const; }; const C c; for (auto x : c) { } // OK std::for_each(std::begin(c), std::end(c), fn); // OK boost::for_each (c, fn); // ERROR: fails SinglePassRange concept (GCC-6.2) The workaround is to add a non-const iterator type that is the same as the const iterator, and to add two additional non-const begin/end methods. class D { public: typedef blah const_iterator; const_iterator begin() const; const_iterator end() const; // kludge to make it work with boost. typedef const_iterator iterator; iterator begin(); iterator end(); }; const D d; boost::for_each (d, fn); // OK Is there a simpler solution?

[Boost.Asio] Suggestion to improve the docs
by dariomt＠gmail.com 07 Sep '16

07 Sep '16

Hi, In the Boost.Asio docs (and in the standalone Asio) the io_service docs has a section "Stopping the io_service from running out of work" where it explains "if the application requires that all operations and handlers be allowed to finish normally, the work object may be explicitly destroyed" and then shows some code using an std::auto_ptr<boost::asio::io_service::work> which will keep the work object on the heap. However, in the accepted answer to [1] the same behavior is accomplished with a, IMHO, more elegant solution: with a boost::optional<boost::asio::io_service::work>, which, if I'm correct, will keep the work object on the stack. To destroy the work object the optional is assigned to boost::none. I'd suggest improving the docs with the boost::optional case, which - does not use "ugly" (and deprecated) auto_ptr - keeps the boost::asio::io_service::work object on the stack Regards [1] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15568100/confused-when-boostasioio-servi…

[boost][graph] Support for C++11 on adjacency list
by Marco Craveiro 06 Sep '16

06 Sep '16

Hi boost-users, Thanks very much for a great library - Boost in general and Boost Graph in particular . I'm trying to understand the status of a fix on Boost Graph - any pointers are greatly appreciated. My basic problem is that trying to use Boost Graph in C++ 11 (or later) mode seems to break due to a bug in adjacency list. This bug has been reported in Track [1], [2] and elsewhere [3]. Up to now I have been carrying local patches to fix this issue as per tickets [4], but to the untrained eye, it appears this issue has been fixed upstream a while ago [5]. I've read the discussion regarding Boost Graph merges [6] but - apologies - It's still not clear to me where we are. Is it possible to confirm: - that the fix is in develop and will be shipped? - if so, would it be shipped with Boost 1.62 or with a later release? I read the release notes [7] but couldn't see any references to Boost Graph. Many thanks for your time. -- Marco Craveiro MD, Domain Driven Consulting about: http://about.me/marcocraveiro blog: http://mcraveiro.blogspot.co.uk twitter: https://twitter.com/MarcoCraveiro That the Ideas are themselves manifestations (of the Idea-Idea) and that the Idea-Idea is a-kind-of Manifestation-Idea—which is a-kind-of itself, so that the system is completely self-describing— would have been appreciated by Plato as an extremely practical joke [Plato]. -- Alan Key [1] #11164 Graph adjacency_list, add_vertex compile error on clang 3.6 https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/11164 [2] #10382 1.56.0 Graph adjacency_list has compile errors on g++ 4.6.4 https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/10382 [3] https://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2016/01/msg00327.html [4] https://github.com/DomainDrivenConsulting/dogen/blob/master/patches/boost_1… [5] Fix compilation with gcc 4.4 in C++11 mode https://github.com/boostorg/graph/commit/0f4ecbcd4bd13743f74745257b95fabdbd… [6] http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2016/08/230533.php [7] http://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_62_0.html

Fwd: Boost.Range: 'Use of deleted function' GCC error when using lambdas
by Remko Tronçon 05 Sep '16

05 Sep '16

Hi, I have the following piece of code: std::vector<std::string> list1; std::vector<std::string> list2; push_back(list2, list1 | transformed([](const auto& w) { return w; }) | sliced(0, 1)); This compiles fine with CLang, but with GCC I get the error: /usr/include/boost/optional/optional.hpp:546:64: error: use of deleted function 'main(int, const char**)::<lambda(const auto:1&)>& main(int, const char**)::<lambda(const auto:1&)>::operator=(const main(int, const char**)::<lambda(const auto:1&)>&)' void assign_value ( rval_reference_type val ) { get_impl() = static_cast<rval_reference_type>(val); } ~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ main.cpp:46:19: note: a lambda closure type has a deleted copy assignment operator | transformed([](const auto& w) { return w; }) When I replace the lambda by a regular function, the code compiles; when I don't use 'sliced' (but pipe it to e.g. 'transformed' instead), the code also compiles. Is there a way to make this code compile with a lambda? thanks! Remko PS: I'm using GCC 6.2.0 with Boost 1.61.

using asio.hpp - boost::system::generic_category()
by Hermann Norpois 04 Sep '16

04 Sep '16

Hello, I just started with boost and it is obvious that I do not understand give my compiler (not mentioning code::blocks) the correct instructions. I installed boost_1_61_0 on Ubuntu 14.04 and followed the instruction. So I did (as root after sudo -i) in the directory of boost_1_61_0. I use g++4.9. It was the same with g++4.8. 1) ./bootstrap.sh prefix=/usr/local 2) ./b2 install So the libs are: /usr/local/lib The headers: /usr/include/boost Actually I was interested in some stuff with asio. So I started with this code from the tutorial. http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_61_0/doc/html/boost_asio/tutorial/tutdaytim… g++ -Wall main.cpp -o zclient /tmp/ccxx7PrW.o: In Funktion `__static_initialization_and_destruction_0(int, int)': main.cpp:(.text+0x52e): Nicht definierter Verweis auf `boost::system::generic_category()' main.cpp:(.text+0x53a): Nicht definierter Verweis auf `boost::system::generic_category()' main.cpp:(.text+0x546): Nicht definierter Verweis auf `boost::system::system_category()' /tmp/ccxx7PrW.o: In Funktion `boost::system::error_code::error_code()': main.cpp:(.text._ZN5boost6system10error_codeC2Ev[_ZN5boost6system10error_codeC5Ev]+0x17): Nicht definierter Verweis auf `boost::system::system_category()' /tmp/ccxx7PrW.o: In Funktion `boost::asio::error::get_system_category()': main.cpp:(.text._ZN5boost4asio5error19get_system_categoryEv[_ZN5boost4asio5error19get_system_categoryEv]+0x5): Nicht definierter Verweis auf `boost::system::system_category()' /tmp/ccxx7PrW.o: In Funktion `boost::asio::detail::posix_thread::~posix_thread()': main.cpp:(.text._ZN5boost4asio6detail12posix_threadD2Ev[_ZN5boost4asio6detail12posix_threadD5Ev]+0x26): Nicht definierter Verweis auf `pthread_detach' /tmp/ccxx7PrW.o: In Funktion `boost::asio::detail::posix_thread::join()': main.cpp:(.text._ZN5boost4asio6detail12posix_thread4joinEv[_ZN5boost4asio6detail12posix_thread4joinEv]+0x2b): Nicht definierter Verweis auf `pthread_join' /tmp/ccxx7PrW.o: In Funktion `boost::asio::detail::posix_thread::start_thread(boost::asio::detail::posix_thread::func_base*)': main.cpp:(.text._ZN5boost4asio6detail12posix_thread12start_threadEPNS2_9func_baseE[_ZN5boost4asio6detail12posix_thread12start_threadEPNS2_9func_baseE]+0x29): Nicht definierter Verweis auf `pthread_create' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status I have to add that the simple programm in the starting guide worked properly http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_61_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.htm… via g++ -Wall main.cpp -o zu It worked in Code::Blocks as well (without any additional information). Even the second simple programm (same link) I managed to compile giving the full path: g++ -Wall main.cpp -o extractmail /usr/local/lib/libboost_regex.a At no time I had not to instruct the compiler about the headers. I was wondering. So it must have anything to do with the libs. Coming back to my asio- example. Do I need libs for it? I guess is has something to do with the expression -lboost_system. I used it without understanding it. But it did not help. Actually I would appreciate if was able to use Code::Blocks but I did not manage to give Code::Blocks the correct instructions. I found some hints, at least amounts of hints ... But it did not work at all. If somebody is able to explain it (for idiots) ... This would be great. Thanks Hermann

passing variables into thread
by Alexander Carôt 03 Sep '16

03 Sep '16

Hello all, I have a thrad function like: void sj::eventTrigger(){ boost::mutex::scoped_lock lock(eventTriggerMutex); while (eventTriggerActive){ dFC->eventTriggerLock.wait(lock); /// do something with pointer-variable } } This function is executed by a eventTriggerLock.notify_all() – call from other objects and when I need to pass certain variables into the thread I have been unsing a global pointer variable. Now my question: I wonder if there is a way to get rid of the pointer variable and directly pass variables into the thread such as: eventTriggerLock.notify_all(data1) void sj::eventTrigger(int data1){ boost::mutex::scoped_lock lock(eventTriggerMutex); while (eventTriggerActive){ dFC->eventTriggerLock.wait(lock); /// do something with data1 } } Any hint welcome – thanks in advance Alex

Priority deque?
by Paolo Bolzoni 01 Sep '16

01 Sep '16

Dear list, I was wondering if there some kind of "priority queue", that is a data structure akin the priority queue, but where you can top and pop from both sides. My use case is that I need to quickly access the maximum, but also not push new elements if they are smaller than the minimum. I am aware I can use a std::set, but in the current implementation where I always push new elements even if they are bad, using a std::set the performance is significantly worse. Yours faithfully, Paolo

iostreams: ceased devolopment?
by Christian Meesters 01 Sep '16

01 Sep '16

Hi, I noticed that there are numerous issues in the bug list, regarding boost iostreams. However, the current doc states Copyright 2004-2007 and Tickets do not receive responses. (I even read: "(I tried e-mailing Jonathan Turkanis directly, but the e-mail address on the website seems to be not used anymore)" in ticket 7574. So, my question is: I anyone maintaining this library? If not: I doubt that there is a good alternative, because iostreams just is convenient to use and a selling point to for boost. It would be a pitty. Best regards, Christian
