[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

Boost Unit Test: How to run only the enabled tests of a test suite?
by Maarten Anonymous 28 Dec '17

28 Dec '17

Hey, I'm looking for a way to only run the enabled unit tests of a tests suite. I have the following test suite: #define BOOST_TEST_MODULE decorator_predicate#include <boost/test/included/unit_test.hpp>namespace utf = boost::unit_test; BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE(test_suite_1) BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(bare_test){ BOOST_TEST(true);} BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(enabled_test, * utf::enabled()){ BOOST_TEST(true);} BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(disabled_test, * utf::disabled()){ BOOST_TEST(false);} BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END() BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE(test_suite_2) BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(bare_test){ BOOST_TEST(true);} BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(enabled_test, * utf::enabled()){ BOOST_TEST(true);} BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(disabled_test, * utf::disabled()){ BOOST_TEST(false);} BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END() Compilation and running: # Compile the test g++ predicate.cpp -o predicate # List all tests./predicate --list_content test_suite_1* bare_test* enabled_test* disabled_test test_suite_2* bare_test* enabled_test* disabled_test # Run the tests that are enabled by default./predicateRunning 4 test cases... *** No errors detected # Here, I would like to only run the enabled tests of test_suite_1.# Instead, all tests are run.

Only bare_test and enabled_test should be run. Thanks!

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;

Re: [Boost-users] Many undefined references for libboost_filesystem

I used another gcc version 4.5 (Ubuntu 11.04) and it works without any problem! I don’t know what is wrong with gcc-4.6. Though the problematic platform was Kubuntuu 12.04. I am know trying with Ubuntu 12.04 which uses gcc-4.6 to see if it is really a gcc problem or the platform! Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Alex Perry Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2017 4:45 PM To: mahmood n Subject: RE: [Boost-users] Many undefined references for libboost_filesystem Actually one other thought (though you may well have solved this by now). Are you sure that the boost libraries you are attempting to link to are using the same abi? Ie how were they built. I only glanced at the github stuff you pointed too but I think I remember that the last commit was 5 years ago or some such – so probably wasn’t using C++11. I note you are using an old (54) version of boost whilst the current is (65) so about 5 years ago as well – but that probably supported being built with c++11.so you might need to rebuild them if they were using a different version of the C++ standard (or any abi breaking change such as 32 vs 64 bit, static runtime vs dynamically loaded etc). Under windows boost normally encodes the abi into the library name and you just automagically (using a msvc extension) link to the appropriate one. That is not the normal way on linux since gcc doesn’t have autolinking so you normally end up sticking them into a separate lib directory and swapping the -L path depending on which abi you want Again though please note this is not boost specific – is just standard C / C++ / Fortran or any obj/link based language issues with building dependencies – (and why most have swapped to using cmake rather than vanilla make to avoid the pain).

Obviously that is using clang rather than gcc which you are using but the syntax and principles are pretty much the same between any c++ compiler HTH A.

Boost graph library algorithms - is it possible to use previous solutions to "warm start" a new related problem
by F1E2D3 F1E2D3 29 Oct '17

29 Oct '17

Hello, I am primarily an Operations Researcher, and prior to boost, was writing my own C++ code for specific network flow problems. I am now hoping to transition to boost::graph completely for my network flow problem solution needs. However, I have one major concern. In linear programming (I use CPLEX https://www.ibm.com/us-en/marketplace/ibm-ilog-cplex as my primary linear programming (LP) solver), once a problem is solved, say a Dijkstra's shortest path problem, the solver maintains the optimal basis. Then, if some problem parameter changes, the linear program need not be solved from scratch, but the current basis is first tested for optimality for the new problem as well. An example of this would be an increase in the cost of an arc that does not feature on the optimal path from source to destination in a shortest path problem. This increase in cost does not change the optimal path, and hence, it would be wasteful to solve this problem again from scratch. Does boost::graph have this capability that LP solvers have? I posted this question first on stack overflow and am posting it here now. The question was not completely answered there. A working code and small example are provided there. I am giving the link below. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46986312/are-boostgraph-algorithms-capa… Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

[review][DoubleEnded] Review Results
by Thorsten Ottosen 27 Oct '17

27 Oct '17

Dear users and members of Boost, I'm happy to to announce that Benedek Thaler's Boost.DoubleEnded is /conditionally/ accepted into Boost provided that it can be integrated smoothly with Boost.Container. There are several other conditions, some major and some minor which I will outline below. For now, I would like to thank everyone that participated with reviews and comments. We didn't have that many reviews, but the reviewers did spend a lot of time both on review and the following discussions. Special thanks also goes to Benedek for his hard work. It is not too often that a GSOC code ends with something of this quality. Two of the world's expert C++ container developers used phrases like "solid" and "everything looks clean and beautiful" about the implementation, "tests look very good, corner cases and all", "The reference section is very good". Congratulations, Benedek. ============== A path forward ============== Ion has most kindly accepted the idea of merging the library into Boost.Container. This consists of A. taking selected elements from batch_deque and adding them to boost::container::deque. B. putting devector into boost.container after changes have been applied to code and documentation C. back-porting the devector code to C++03 (C) does not need to happen immediately, that is, we can have a release where devector is available in a C++11 version. Ion has also most kindly agreed to help with this process. I will help write a new introduction that focuses on the main principles of devector. We also have a number of benchmarks which we can gather and use for a small section of on that topic. I'll leave it to you and Ion to work out the details. ========================== Detailed comments devector ========================== Apart from the merging with Boost.Container, the most heard complaint was about the "fat", the non-essential parts if the interface, that could be removed. This includes -- Remove the direct support for small buffer optimization form devector. When the time comes, provide small_devector similar to the way we have vector/small_vector (there is no requirement that small_devector is provided). -- remove all of the following: - all constructors that uses reserve_only_tag, - all constructors that uses unsafe_uninitialized_tag, - void unsafe_uninitialized_resize_front(size_type); - void unsafe_uninitialized_resize_back(size_type); - unsafe_push_front(...); - unsafe_push_back(...); -- add instead - constructors that uses default_init_t like boost.container - resize versions that uses default_init_t - T& unchecked_emplace_back(...) noexcept(...) - T& unchecked_emplace_front(...) noexcept(...) At some point, I hope we can upgrade default_init_t to mean no construction for all trivially copyable types. There was a wish for more symmetry in devector and so functions that break symmetry or can appear ambiguous should be removed. This means we should remove: -- capacity() There is no need for front_capacity() and back_capacity(). We could remove reserve(), but then we can't use devector with a flat_set. Reserve() should not be an alias for reserve_back() though, but controlled by the policy. We could remove resize(), but even deque has it where it means resize_back(). I totally agree it would be ideal to remove all of reserve(),resize(),capacity(),clear(), but I see no easy way we can use devector with flat containers if we remove the first and the last. Unless we start deprecating stuff in boost::deque/boost::vector and provide new consistent alternatives, we will never get a 100% satisfactory solution. At the end of the day, we need to be pragmatic, so if deprecation is not on the table, this seems the best we can do. Since we don't want two allocations implied by calling reserve_back() and reserve_front(), you can add a mechanism for doing that. That is, you can provide -- reserve( new_capacity ); -- reserve_front( new_front_capacity ) -- reserve_back( new_back_capacity ) -- reserve( new_front_capacity, new_back_capacity ) or, since reserve() is such a weird beast, simply provide -- reserve( new_capacity ); // for flat containers -- anticipate_front( new_front_elements ) -- anticipate_back( new_back_elements ) -- anticipate( new_front_elements, new_back_elements ) to get rid of the funky -- container.reserve_front( container.size() + new_front_elements ) dance. There were suggestions for shrink_back/front_to_fit, but since we are trying to remove fat, I suggest that we wait for a use-case. There were also suggestions that clear() should be amended. As the growth (or resizing policy) mandates what clear does, we need a way to escape. The minimal change that allows that is to provide -- clear( front_free_capacity ) which gives full power to the user. You may provide clear_back() as clear(0) and clear_front() as clear(c.size()+c.front_free_capacity()+c.back_free_capacity()). Ideally, clear() would have been removed entirely like capacity()/resize(), but like reserve(), it just seems like impossible when we start using it with flat containers. Other minor comments: - drop strong exception safety guarantees and do it like boost.container - prefer to make iterator a type (should be easy with reuse from boost::container::vector - allocator should not be inherted from - make clear O(1) amortized gurantees depend on growth policy - consider calling growth policy for resizing policy - make sure SFINAE works properly with constructors - make the default growth factor 2 (as we heard from Sean Parent: no factor below 2 is empirically good) - consider renaming front_free_capacity to free_front_capacity. Rationale: "front_capacity" is a concept, noun, and "free" is the adjective. Ditto for back_free_capacity. - remove size_type from growth policy and take it from the allocator - make the allocator template argument the 2nd argument - fix remaning TODO in code - documentation should not sell devector as drop-in replacement for vector, but rather stress it is not - the allocator supports needs to be improved. I guess doing it the Boost.Container way ensures that (ask Daniel James for help) - exception-safety issues pointed out by Ion - postconditions of insert/erase needs to specify behavior to front_free_capacity/back_free_capcity - use of local containers should be avoided - rotate should be avoided - delegate range move operations to those defined in Boost.Container - make sure all functions excepting non-overlapping range uses memcpy (not just memmove). This includes: - range constructor - copy-constructor - copy-assignment - range-assignment - range insert - destructor should used std::has_trivial_destructor to avoid loop in that case to make sure all compilers optimize it away (similar for erase). There is one final puzzle and that is the growth policy. I hope we can finalize that by testing Joaquin's and Ion's suggestions over the coming weeks. ============================= Detailed comments batch_deque ============================= For deque, the comments were similar, although there was far less to discuss than for devector. All agreed that one should be able to control the segment size. - stable_insert was not needed. - segment iteration was good, but should be usable with range-based for loop. The segment iterator should return a segment type if possible, and the segment should have begin(),end(),size() members. - since boost::deque already has a resize with default_init_t, that should be sufficient to provide fast serialization load for trivial types. No need for - resize_front - resize_back - unsafe_uninitialized_resize_front - unsafe_uninitialized_resize_back - reserve - shrink_to_fit() - capacity() The following are still needed for optimal code (or code that can be known not to reallocate, or for better locality in deserialization, avoiding double initialization) - free_front_capacity; - free_back_capacity; - reserve_front - reserve_back - unchecked_emplace_front - unchecked_emplace_back Boost.Container's unit-tests should be extended with those from batch_deque where it makes sense. Since segmented iteration was somewhat faster, it should be use internally where it makes sense. In particular - copy-constructor - copy-assignment - destructor As for devector, all constructor/functions that iterate over non-overlapping ranges should use memcpy. destructor should use is_trivially_destructible to ensure it is optimized away (similar for erase). ====================== Serialization comments ====================== I suggest that the default versions just do what Boost.Serialization does, perhaps just replacing resize with resize with default_init_t. That ensures it works correctly for all archive types. It also needs to use make_nvp() so the output is identical to std::vector. We will then talk to Robert about how we can take advantage of the binary archive in a correct fashion. ====================== kind regards Thorsten, review manager

[Container] Does deque allocate memory in default constructor?
by dariomt＠gmail.com 25 Oct '17

25 Oct '17

It seems std::deque implementations are allowed to allocate in the default constructor [1] However, boost::container::deque I think does not allocate in the default constructor, but the docs are not explicit about it. I can see in the docs: *Throws*: If allocator_type's default constructor throws. Which would mean that it cannot throw due to memory exhaustion, so it cannot allocate memory. Is my reasoning right? If yes, would it be possible to make this explicit in the docs? I think it is relevant, because it might be the deciding factor for switching from std::deque to boost::container::deque (as it might be my case). Thanks!

Hello, in attempt to build boost for android with more or less reasonable strict settings (-Werror) I uncovered some bugs which I cannot report on github because these projects have Issues disabled. I will post them here in hopes they will eventually reach appropriate maintainers. == ONE: boost.containers == clang-darwin.compile.c android-build/boost/bin.v2/ libs/container/build/clang-darwin-5.0~x86/debug/address- model-32/link-static/target-os-android/threading-multi/alloc_lib.o In file included from libs/container/src/alloc_lib.c:19: libs/container/src/dlmalloc_ext_2_8_6.c:1097:8: error: variable 'ret' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Werror,-Wsometimes- uninitialized] if (!PREACTION(m)) { ^~~~~~~~~~~~~ libs/container/src/dlmalloc_ext_2_8_6.c:1125:11: note: uninitialized use occurs here return ret; ^~~ libs/container/src/dlmalloc_ext_2_8_6.c:1097:4: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always true if (!PREACTION(m)) { ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ libs/container/src/dlmalloc_ext_2_8_6.c:1095:4: note: variable 'ret' is declared here boost_cont_malloc_stats_t ret; ^ 1 error generated.

Help needed in learning to use Boost.Asio
by Osman Zakir 24 Oct '17

24 Oct '17

I want to learn how to use Boost.Asio so I can then create an abstraction layer over it for HTTP and create a server and client. I need it for a web app I want to make. I know C++ isn’t a good choice for this sort of thing, but it’s still growing and getting better, so I wonder if there’s really no hope for it becoming a better choice for web development. Especially if someone were to propose a networking library for boost that also provides support for the HTTP protocol and maybe also RESTful services out of the box. Libraries in Boost have a high chance of making it into the standard, after all, so this could be a good idea. I’ve heard from many people that C++ is a waste of time, especially if one wants to get into web development and make a lot of money. Most people who want to web development are abandoning C++ in favor of languages Python that provide better support for web development. I don’t like this and I hope that C++ will also become better for the job soon so that it can pull back programmers that have left it for other languages. That’s also the reason why I want to use C++ here. I’m hoping that the Networking TS would be standardized and that the standardizing committee would also do something to make C++ overall better for the web, preferably as good as Python if possible. The difficulty of getting into and using C++ is also overly-exaggerated but it seems to be more because of C++ programmers not making their code simple and beautiful enough, so it’s also the language users’ fault. I want to try to change the negative views that people have of C++, as well. By the way, would it be a good idea to send an email asking about the future of C++, especially for web development, to Dr. Stroustrup if I can find a way to contact him? I know he’s a busy man and I’m also reluctant to this, but since he’s also on the standard-making committee, if he finds some free time to reply to my email, he should be able to tell me what to expect about C++ and its future. I’m sorry if this email got too long, though. Best regards. Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10

boost asio
by Sharma, Nishant 23 Oct '17

23 Oct '17

Hi, I have created an Asynchronous TCP server and client and it works fine. Since it is asynchronous, it uses API's like async_read, async_write etc.. Is it possible that the same code be used to do "synchronous" communication which results in blocking any further task in the queue unless the current i/o task is complete ? I have attached the example hereby. It has two folder for server and client.. First the server needs to be run and then the client. Best Regards, Nishant Sharma

boost fileystem issue
by Olivier Tristan 20 Oct '17

20 Oct '17

Hi Guys, I would like to bump this particular issue that is quite annoying for me. Basically it crashes as soon as you call boost::filesystem::exists in the ctor of a static variable initialized at program startup https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12987 Looks like there was a fix 4 month ago but this hasn't been pushed into the trunk yet Any idea how to push the process forward ? Thanks ! -- Olivier Tristan Research & Development www.uvi.net

Reconnecting a SSL socket correctly
by David Demelier 18 Oct '17

18 Oct '17

Hello, I'm trying to reconnect a SSL socket (using ssl::stream with tcp::socket) that has been closed only remotely. It looks like a shutdown on my client causes "stream truncated" error so I have no idea how can I connect my client socket again. I was thinking of just creating a new instance but the stream class is not copyable. Do you have any recommandations? Regards, -- David

[asio] null reference in epoll_reactor
by Phil Sean 18 Oct '17

18 Oct '17

Hi, Running the tutorial async TCP server (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_65_1/doc/html/boost_asio/tutorial/tutdaytim…) or any other asynchronous operation in valgrind yields an error like this: = Syscall param epoll_pwait(sigmask) points to unaddressable byte(s) = epoll_pwait (in /usr/lib/libc-2.26.so) = boost::asio::detail::epoll_reactor::run(bool, boost::asio::detail::op_queue<boost::asio::detail::task_io_service_operation>&) (in /.../server) = boost::asio::detail::task_io_service::do_run_one(boost::asio::detail::scoped_lock<boost::asio::detail::posix_mutex>&, boost::asio::detail::task_io_service_thread_info&, boost::system::error_code const&) (in /.../server) = boost::asio::detail::task_io_service::run(boost::system::error_code&) (in /.../server) = boost::asio::io_service::run() (in /.../server) = main (in /.../server) = Address 0x0 is not stack'd, malloc'd or (recently) free'd I suspect it's due to some recent changes because it didn't use to be an error. Boost version is 1.65.1(Arch Linux). Thank you.

Hi Daniel, I tried some other versions based on the release date of the project and boosts. I tried 1.38 and 40 and 42 and 44 and 46. All of them return some undefined references.

Many undefined references for libboost_filesystem
by Mahmood N 13 Oct '17

13 Oct '17

Hi, I am trying to build a suite as described at https://github.com/gpgpu-sim/ispass2009-benchmarks Some of the benchmarks use boost. For example, AES/Makefile has LINKFLAGS := -L$(BOOST_LIB) -lboost_filesystem Also, the Makefile.ispass-2009 in the root folder has the following settings SETENV=export BINDIR=$(BINDIR); \ export ROOTDIR=$(NVIDIA_COMPUTE_SDK_LOCATION)/C/src/; \ export BINSUBDIR=$(BINSUBDIR); \ export BOOST_LIB=/home/mahmood/boost_1_46_0/lib; \ export BOOST_ROOT=/home/mahmood/boost_1_46_0/include; \ export BOOST_VER=""; \ export OPENMPI_BINDIR=/usr/bin/; I manually built boost_1_46_0 with the steps described at http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/doc/html/bbv2/installation.html The installations was successful and I can see lib/ and include/ folders mahmood@vb:boost_1_46_0$ find lib -name libboost_system* lib/libboost_system.so.1.46.0 lib/libboost_system.so lib/libboost_system.a mahmood@vb:boost_1_46_0$ find lib -name libboost_filesystem* lib/libboost_filesystem.so lib/libboost_filesystem.a lib/libboost_filesystem.so.1.46.0 However, as I run “make -f Makefile.ispass-2009”, I get many undefined errors about libboost_filesystem.

[coroutine] MinGW: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost::context::detail::forced_unwind'
by Jan Niklas Hasse 13 Oct '17

13 Oct '17

Hi :) I've tried to compile this simple Boost.Coroutine example: #include <iostream> #include <boost/coroutine2/all.hpp> void foo(boost::coroutines2::asymmetric_coroutine<void>::push_type& yield) { for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) { std::cout << i << std::endl; yield(); } } int main() { boost::coroutines2::asymmetric_coroutine<void>::pull_type coroutine(foo); for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) { coroutine(); } } On Linux this works as expected, just as on Windows with Visual Studio. But when I cross-compile on Linux using i686-w64-mingw32-g++ src/main.cpp -lboost_context-mt The resulting exe crashes with: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost::context::detail::forced_unwind' abnormal program termination There's a similar problem on StackOverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45569418/how-to-use-boost-context-corre… But I'm having the crash only with the cross-compiled version, not MSVC. Am I doing something wrong? Or might this be a bug in Fedora's mingw32-boost package?

by Rene Rivera 13 Oct '17

13 Oct '17

Following on with the announcement before CppCon of the 1.64.0 modular packages here we are with more. I'm pleased to announce that the 1.65.1 Boost C++ Libraries are now available individually using the Conan package manager. There's even some improvements for the 1.64.0 package also :-) Find out more from the Bincrafters post here <http://bit.ly/2g6VEpp>[1]. For help using the packages you can bug the Bincrafters team in the #Conan CppLan Slack channel <http://bit.ly/2ykeqC0>[2]. Conan is a C/C++ (and more) package manager that supports an open ended set of build system and tool integrations including: VisualStudio, Xcode, CLion, Ninja, QMake, Premake, and yes even CMake <http://bit.ly/2xzhpbg>[3].

boost::filesystem and writing to Windows programdata structure
by Tim Burgess 12 Oct '17

12 Oct '17

Hi, I've an application that has been working fine under Windows 7, but I'm now fixing up for running on later Windows versions. I've been hitting unhandled exceptions when writing to c:\programdata\(my company)\(my app name)\ and understand that this is due to the permissions for such folders being more restrictive on Windows 8, 8.1 and 10. My research seems to indicate that I can modify my installer to set up my folders with appropriate permissions at install-time, but I'd prefer to use boost::filesystem to check folder/file permissions then change them at run-time, if necessary using appropriate csidl values. Can anybody offer any advice, please? Best wishes. Tim Burgess

[stacktrace] Trace information from GetExceptionInformation()?
by Nat Goodspeed 11 Oct '17

11 Oct '17

In an __except() filter expression (Microsoft Structured Exception), it's legal to call GetExceptionInformation() to retrieve a pointer to an _EXCEPTION_POINTERS struct. A little bit of Google searching turned up a few recipes for walking the stack information indirectly provided by that _EXCEPTION_POINTERS data. Would it be reasonable to have a Microsoft-specific stacktrace constructor accepting _EXCEPTION_POINTERS*? Or perhaps a factory function? I would like to be able to capture the platform-specific _EXCEPTION_POINTERS information, but then, once I have it in hand, engage the rest of the Boost.Stacktrace functionality. Apologies if this has already been asked and answered. If so, please simply point me to the previous discussion. Thank you!

boost::interprocess::managed_mapped_file filename
by Markus Bonk 10 Oct '17

10 Oct '17

Hi, Unfortunately wmanaged_mapped_file constructors use char instead of wchar for the filename. This causes big problems on windows where %appdata% and %localappdata% include the user name which may include Unicode characters that after conversion result in the windows ‘A’ methods failing to find the referenced file. I don’t know of any work around except using Unicode filenames. Does anyone know of a way around this. Are there any plans of making wmanaged_mapped_file use wchar for the filenames?

Compiling boost with optional _GLIBCXX_DEBUG support
by Jayesh Badwaik 09 Oct '17

09 Oct '17

Hi, How to compile boost so that compilation of user programs both with _GLIBCXX_DEBUG and without _GLIBCXX_DEBUG is supported? Currently, if I compile boost with _GLIBCXX_DEBUG then I cannot compile my programs without this flag, and vice versa. The actual error comes from program_options attached in a file. I gather from the interweb that the error is well known, however, I could not find instructions to compile boost such that both options are supported. -- Cheers Jayesh Badwaik https://www.jayeshbadwaik.in

[asio] "reverse" stream?
by Phil Sean 07 Oct '17

07 Oct '17

Hi, Is there a stream (or other implementation) in asio that reverses the next layer and the read()/write() layer of another stream? For example, a reverse ssl::stream would send/receive data in clear text, but read()/write() operations should rather expect encrypted data. Thanks.

Memory usage of boost::unordered_multimap and boost::unordered_multimap
by Ram 06 Oct '17

06 Oct '17

Hi, I need help in determining the amount of memory used by boost::unordered_multimap and boost::unordered_multimap. We have a large code base and we have some optimizations done using boost::unordered_multimap and boost::unordered_multimap. The speed it really good, but we want to measure the amount of space it is occupying. Can somebody please help with that? I would not be able to change to use a custom new/delete. Thanks

Why no mpl::_double?
by Florian Lindner 06 Oct '17

06 Oct '17

Hello, is there a reason why there are only integral types in the boost MPL, no double or alike? http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_65_1/libs/mpl/doc/refmanual/numeric.html What is the best way to achieve: template<> struct getArg<Multiquadrics> : boost::mpl::double_<1e-3> {}; so that it is compatible with mpl::list? besides just writing the struct myself :-) Thanks, Florian

[Units]

I am trying to create a set of units to use in a library, but I having trouble getting IO to work for some of them. Here is a simple example that demonstrates the problem. ============================ #include<iostream> #include <boost/units/systems/si.hpp> #include <boost/units/systems/si/io.hpp> using namespace boost::units; // short hand for meter namespace t { typedef si::length m; } namespace i { BOOST_UNITS_STATIC_CONSTANT( m, t::m ); } // centimeter namespace t { typedef make_scaled_unit< si::length, scale< 10, static_rational<-2> > >::type cm; } namespace i { BOOST_UNITS_STATIC_CONSTANT( cm, t::cm ); } // meter squared namespace t { typedef multiply_typeof_helper< m, m>::type m_m; } namespace i { BOOST_UNITS_STATIC_CONSTANT( m_m, t::m_m ); } // centimeter squared namespace t { typedef multiply_typeof_helper< cm, cm>::type cm_cm; } namespace i { BOOST_UNITS_STATIC_CONSTANT( cm_cm, t::cm_cm ); } // meter centimeter namespace t { typedef multiply_typeof_helper< m, cm>::type m_cm; } namespace i { BOOST_UNITS_STATIC_CONSTANT( m_cm, t::m_cm ); } // override default output, which prints "c(m^2)" namespace boost { namespace units { inline std::string name_string(const t::m_cm&) { return "meter centimeter"; } inline std::string symbol_string(const t::m_cm&) { return "m cm"; } } } // trying to overload output for centimeter squared namespace boost { namespace units { inline std::string name_string(const t::cm_cm&) { return "centimeter squared"; } inline std::string symbol_string(const t::cm_cm&) { return "cm^2"; } } } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { std::cout << i::m << std::endl; std::cout << i::cm << std::endl; std::cout << i::m_m << std::endl; std::cout << i::m_cm << std::endl; //std::cout << i::cm_cm << std::endl; // this won't compile quantity<t::m_m> a1(100*i::cm_cm); std::cout << a1<< std::endl; // should be 0.01 m^2 quantity<t::m_m> a2(100*i::m_cm); std::cout << a2<< std::endl; // should be 1 m^2 return 0; } ============================ Basically, I am just trying to create a convenient set of short hands. Unit types are put in a 't' namespace and instances are put in a 'i' namespace with the same name. This works fine for doing calculations and conversions with the units, but I am having trouble with getting output to work for some of them. In the example above I create a centimeter unit by scaling the meter. Then I create three different area units with the product_typeof_helper struct: meter squared, meter centimeter, and centimeter squared. Conversions work for all three of these, but output will not work for the centimeter squared unit. The program above outputs m cm m^2 m cm 0.01 m^2 1 m^2 If I uncomment the line that tries to print i::cm_cm it won't compile. I get an error that says 'symbol' is not a member of ... and points at a line that says str += Begin::item::symbol() I can't understand why it doesn't work for a product of two scaled units. cdclark

Re: [Boost-users] boost::process

To answer my own question - this is one working possibility using boost::process::extend... #include <boost/process.hpp> #include <boost/process/extend.hpp> int main() { boost::filesystem::path myPath(".........toRun.exe......."); auto set_own_window = [](auto & exec) { exec.creation_flags |= boost::detail::winapi::CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE_; std::cerr << "in set_own_window" << std::endl; /* just for debugging */ }; bp::child c(myPath, "argument1", boost::process::extend::on_setup=set_own_window); return 0; } This works. Is it the right approach, or is there a better way? Best wishes, Chris.

PolyCollection requiring copyable
by d3fault 05 Oct '17

05 Oct '17

I'm impressed with PolyCollection. I use the list<interface*> strategy tons in my projects, and I didn't think NOT using a pointer there was even possible... but somehow you managed. It also makes sense why PolyCollection is faster to execute etc, the tutorial was well written. The only 'con' is that it requires a copy constructor. You mention later that some copy traits thing can be used to move the "copy code" outside of the class, but I am questioning the need for copying altogether. Is "copying" of the polymorphic types necessary for: a) Technical requirement otherwise it wouldn't compile b) Design decision because you think it's superior and helpful c) To facilitate copying of the PolyCollection object itself ....? If (b) or (c), can there be a slightly altered version of PolyCollection which does not allow/require copying? I'm completely fine (and even happier) _not_ being able to copy the PolyCollection. When I use the list<interface*> strategy, I tend to consider the list to be the owner of it's objects (and delete them when the list is deleted). There should be PolyCollection::emplace and the poly instances should "live" in the PolyCollection. Accessing the poly instances should be by [const] reference only (isn't this already the case? what benefit does the copy constructor bring?!?). I didn't examine the source so maybe it's (a) after all, in which case I apologize for wasting precious time, bandwidth, and disk space. d3fault

boost::process
by Chris Rodgers 05 Oct '17

05 Oct '17

Hi, I'm trying to use Boost 1.65.1's boost::process::child in a Windows console program. At the moment, the child process is launched in the same console window as the parent. Is there an option to make a new console window for the child? The pre-boost-incorporation version of boost::process seemed to allow manipulation of the startupInfo struct directly (e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43582022/boostprocess-hide-console-on-w…) and then a win32_launch call. But this seems to have been removed now? Any tips gratefully received. Thanks, Chris.

looking for a memory leak in an asio based application
by David Medine 05 Oct '17

05 Oct '17

I know that the answer to this question is /always/ 'no'. But is it possible, just possible that one can leak memory out of boost::asio? Let me explain. I work on an open source client/server data streaming library for multi-modal data streaming called labstreaminglayer (https://github.com/sccn/labstreaminglayer) At the core of the data transmission architecture is boost::asio. Now, to avoid calling collisions, the original author of the library shipped the source code with a name-mangled version of boost. Over the years this has yet to be updated so we are still relying on boost 1.57. The memory leak starts on the server side after a client is connected to it. This went undetected for years because it is very very slow and it depends on the sampling rate of the data stream. LSL (labstreaminglayer) is widely used in the neurophysiological research community (for whom the tool was intended), but normally in that field you are not sending samples faster than 500 Hz or so. But some devices are now available that offer relatively high sampling rates (e.g. Brain Products' actiCHamp can go as fast as 100kHz). The amount of memory that leaks seems to depend on how often data is sent, not how much data is send at a time. So, when the data is flowing quickly, the leak is severe. I am 99.99% sure that the allocation of memory for all the data I am sending is getting deallocated correctly. I don't see any leaking memory according to Visual Studio's diagnostic tools, nor can Deleaker spot anything. However, when I look at a server process in task manager, I can see the memory rising. I tried the asio::io_service::work trick (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32258890/c-boost-asio-async-send-to-mem…) on my io_services, but this didn't have any effect. I have not gone through the whole pipeline yet, but I've been at this for two harrowing days already. So I just thought I would ask the list if anyone has seen anything like this before or if there has been any slow-leak fixes in boost (particularly asio) since 1.57 (I didn't see anything in the logs, but maybe I missed something). Due to the state of the project at this moment, it is non-trivial to update the name-mangled boost to another version, but it is far less trivial than the needle-in-a-haystack game I am playing right now. So, if someone can say with authority a boost update will fix everything I'll just do that and be happy. It's a long-shot, I know.

Bost Logging
by Mário Costa 04 Oct '17

04 Oct '17

Hi, I'm havving a bad time trying to figure out how to add and log custom keywords using boost/log. I havent been able to understand how exactly attribute keywords (BOOST_LOG_ATTRIBUTE_KEYWORD) bind with logging e.g. using BOOST_LOG_STREAM_WITH_PARAMS(logger, (??) (??)). For instance, if I define a keyword line_number, BOOST_LOG_ATTRIBUTE_KEYWORD(line_number, "LineNumber", unsigned int) and add it to the formmater logging::formatter formatter = expr::stream << "[" << line_number << "]" How do I use BOOST_LOG_STREAM_WITH_PARAMS(logger, (??)) Tanking an exemple from the severities, I should use a keyword parameter defining something like BOOST_PARAMETER_KEYWORD(sometag, line_number) then I should be able to use BOOST_LOG_STREAM_WITH_PARAMS(logger, (line_number = 10)) But those things just don add up together. I for sure missing the logics of the logging ... Thanks for any help! Cheers, mc

[geometry] Get points within certain radius?
by Florian Lindner 03 Oct '17

03 Oct '17

Hello, first of all thanks for the repliest to my previous geometry question! What is the best, especially fastest way to get all points within a certain radius of a point? Using the iterator method with nearest(pt, X) highly depends on X. Since I don't know this number, I have to guess it rather high. for (auto it = rtree.qbegin(bgi::nearest(point, results)) ; it != rtree.qend() ; ++it) { std::ignore = it; break; } results = 10 => time = 3.0s results = 100 => time = 22.6s results = 200 => time = 71.4s results = 300 => time = 153.2s though I always use just one result. The loop is inside another loop, not depending on results, so of course, the times are multiples of the actual times for that query. But clearly, choosing high numbers for results is not feasible. Another idea is to use the within() query with a circle of a radius. But bg seems to have no circle or sphere model. A workaround would be to use a box instead of a sphere. That means I have to test the results again, whether they are actually contained in th sphere. Alternatively, I could use the satisfies predicate. But wouldn't I give up all spatial information? This predicate needs to compare all vertices, don't it? It does include the knowledge, that when one point is discarded, all other points with a greater distance will discarded too. According to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22909171/boostgeometry-nearest-neighbor…, the way to go seems to be to combine within(boundingBox) and satisfies(). Any other ideas? Thanks, Florian

[test] Is standalone use possible?
by Adam Nielsen 02 Oct '17

02 Oct '17

Hi all, I'm in the process of trying to remove the Boost dependency from my project, as it is causing too many difficulties for non-developers trying to run my code. This has been mostly solved by switching to C++11 and using the std:: implementations instead, however rather than rewrite all my unit tests I am hoping I can use a standalone version of Boost.Test, and distribute the code alongside my own. Unfortunately I am not quite sure how to extract the Test library out of the main Boost distribution. I have compiled "bcp" and used it to copy "test" into a new folder, but it seems to copy a huge chunk of Boost as well, including a bunch of libraries (system, thread, date_time, etc.) and I end up with 29 MB of source files, which seems wrong (especially considering my own codebase is barely 500 kB). Am I doing something wrong? I was hoping to use the header-only version of Boost.Test and this does seem to work when I #include the system-wide version of Boost (and don't link to any libraries), so it would seem that I don't need all those libraries that bcp copies. Is there any other way to access a slimmed-down standalone version of Boost.Test? Many thanks, Adam.
