Hi, It is possible to build one or two targets instead of all? When I run ../b2 install --prefix=/somewhere It build all libraries. Assume I only want filesystem. Is that possible or they all depend on each other? Regards, Mahmood

error categories point to invalid data with boost log and asio
by priv＠mariusherzog.net 11 Nov '17

11 Nov '17

I have the following problem while using boost asio together with boost log and clang 3.9.0. When I want to print an error code for example passed to me by a asio completion handler, my program crashes. This is because the error category points to invalid data. If I put a breakpoint in get_misc_error category which is called upon program startup, the local static error category already contains junk data. When I compile with gcc 5.4.0 this error does not occur. Also if I do not link against boost log everything works fine as well. I use linux, and link all boost libraries dynamically. Boost version is 1.62.0. Would it help if I maybe link boost log statically? Is there anything else I can do?

[signals2] Connect to overloaded slots
by Florian Lindner 10 Nov '17

10 Nov '17

Hello, this code compiles just fine: #include <boost/signals2.hpp> #include <iostream> // void slot() { std::cout << "No args slot called." << std::endl; } void slot(int i) { std::cout << "Int " << i << " arg slot called." << std::endl; } int main(int argc, char **argv) { boost::signals2::signal<void(int)> s; s.connect(&slot); return 0; } However, when I uncomment the slot() function, it does not do so, anymore: boostsignals.cpp:78:5: error: no matching member function for call to 'connect' s.connect(&slot); ~~^~~~~~~ /usr/include/boost/signals2/detail/signal_template.hpp:689:18: note: candidate function not viable: no overload of 'slot' matching 'const boost::signals2::signal<void (int), boost::signals2::optional_last_value<void>, int, std::less<int>, boost::function<void (int)>, boost::function<void (const boost::signals2::connection &, int)>, boost::signals2::mutex>::slot_type' (aka 'const slot<void (int), boost::function<void (int)> >') for 1st argument connection connect(const slot_type &slot, connect_position position = at_back) ^ /usr/include/boost/signals2/detail/signal_template.hpp:693:18: note: candidate function not viable: requires at least 2 arguments, but 1 was provided connection connect(const group_type &group, ^ Is there a way to make it working with overloaded slot functions? Thanks, Florian

Warning "declares a non-template function"
by mahmood n 06 Nov '17

06 Nov '17

Hi, A program needs boost > 1.58. So, I used boost-1.60 with gcc-4.8. However, as I compile the program, I get many warnings similar to /home/mahmood/boost_1_60_0/boost/mpl/set/aux_/item.hpp(47): warning: "char (&operator||(const boost::mpl::s_item<T, Base> &, boost::mpl::aux::type_wrapper<T> *))[boost::mpl::next<Base::order>::type::value]" declares a non-template function -- add <> to refer to a template instance /home/mahmood/boost_1_60_0/boost/mpl/set/aux_/item.hpp(48): warning: "boost::mpl::aux::no_tag operator%(const boost::mpl::s_item<T, Base> &, boost::mpl::aux::type_wrapper<T> *)" declares a non-template function -- add <> to refer to a template instance Lines are BOOST_MPL_AUX_SET_OVERLOAD( order_tag_, ORDER_BY_KEY, s_item, aux::type_wrapper<T>* ); BOOST_MPL_AUX_SET_OVERLOAD( aux::no_tag, IS_MASKED, s_item, aux::type_wrapper<T>* ); Does that mean I have to change that to aux::type_wrapper< >* ?

[asio] Does ssl::stream allow multiple pending async operations?
by Phil Sean 06 Nov '17

06 Nov '17

The documentation for ssl::stream says: "Shared objects: Unsafe. The application must also ensure that all asynchronous operations are performed within the same implicit or explicit strand." Does this mean we have to wait for an async operation to finish before another is started (for read/read, read/write, and write/write)? (Async operations refer to async_read_some() and async_write_some(), not the composed operations.) If so, is the operation said to have finished when the handler is invoked or when the handler returns? That is: void handler( const boost::system::error_code& error, std::size_t bytes_transferred ) { // Does the operation finish here ... } // or here? If not, what's the difference between the async operations of ip::tcp::socket and ssl::stream then (as strand just avoids concurrency for the thread-unsafe)? I came across different views on this problem. This answer[1] suggests that simply using the same strand (ie. no concurrency) will suffice. Another one[2] says multiple pending asynchronous operations can be problematic for ssl::stream even if no concurrency occurs. Thanks.

Spirit: how to force backtracking
by Stian Zeljko Vrba 04 Nov '17

04 Nov '17

I have the following grammar rule: value = (int_ % ',') | *ascii::print; The intention is to parse either a comma-separated list of integers or a string. The rule as such fails in cases like "123ABC", which should be parsed as string. >From the description of the | operator, I would expect the parser to backtrack and try the other alternative when it sees that the first alternative does not match the input. However, I get a parse error instead (this rule is a part of a larger grammar), I guess because the first alternative matches the single integer but the rest of the grammar cannot be matched. How to rewrite the grammar to resolve this ambiguity, or force spirit to backtrack if the first alternative of 'value' cannot be matched?

[locale] how to read a local date from an istream?
by Frédéric 02 Nov '17

02 Nov '17

Hi, With boost::locale we can output a localized date: double d=...; std::cout<<boost::locale::as::date<<d; but how can I read a date from a string? std::cin>>boost::locale::as::date>>d; does not work. It stops reading at the first "/". For example, this small program #include <iostream> #include <sstream> #include <boost/locale/formatting.hpp> #include <boost/locale/generator.hpp> int main(int argc, char **argv) { boost::locale::generator gen; gen.categories(); auto loc = gen(""); double date = 5.; // default value to see if it changes std::istringstream iss("2/11/2017"); // November 1st, 2017 in French iss.imbue(loc); iss >> boost::locale::as::date >> boost::locale::as::local_time >> date; std::cout.imbue(loc); std::cout << "as_posix: " << boost::locale::as::posix << date << "\n" << "as_date: " << boost::locale::as::date << date << "\n"; return 0; } outputs as_posix: 2 as_date: 01/01/1970 instead of as_posix: 1509617233 (may be different) as_date: 02/11/2017 F

Re: [Boost-users] Many undefined references for libboost_filesystem
by mahmood n 01 Nov '17

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).

Nope the computer is telling you they don’t exist on those paths as given – unfortunately the computer is more likely to be correct than you on this! You have a lot of library paths being set there – possibly you have multiple versions of boost libraries so its finding the wrong one first so you have a version conflict Possibly the simplest way is create a noddy test and play with the command line till you work out what the problem is http://rextester.com/live/JDVHT54458 That will give you similar compile errors without -lboost_filesystem -lboost_system added to the compile line. 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.
