Compare boost::system::error_category
by Christopher Pisz 27 Mar '17

27 Mar '17

The following comparison fails for an error whom outputs "asio.misc" for errorCode.category().name() and "end of file" for errorCode.message() If it claims to be in category asio.misc, then why does the if condition of (errorCode.category() == boost::asio::error::misc_category ) evaluate to false? Googling says that a boost::system::error_code can have the same value in more than one category, so I assume that in order to get the proper message and meaning we must compare boost::system::error_category as well as boost::system::error_code::value. How do we properly compare the category if this fails to work? Code in question: //-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- std::string ClientSocketASIO::ErrorCodeToString(const boost::system::error_code & errorCode) { std::ostringstream debugMsg; debugMsg << " Error Category: " << errorCode.category().name() << ". " << " Error Message: " << errorCode.message() << ". "; if( errorCode.category() == boost::asio::error::misc_category ) { switch (errorCode.value()) { case boost::asio::error::eof: debugMsg << ". Server has disconnected."; break; case boost::asio::error::connection_refused: debugMsg << ". Connection Refused"; break; default: debugMsg << ". Unknown Error."; break; } } else { debugMsg << ". Unknown Error category."; } return debugMsg.str(); } -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/Compare-boost-system-error-category-tp46… Sent from the Boost - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Compile error with low_bits_mask_t
by Michael Kaes 27 Mar '17

27 Mar '17

Hi, I discovered a compile issue when using boosts integer_mask. The following simple program compiles fine with clang but fails with gcc. #include <iostream> #include <boost/integer.hpp> #include <boost/integer/integer_mask.hpp> int main() { typedef boost::low_bits_mask_t<2> mask_type_t; std::cout << mask_type_t::sig_bits << std::endl; return 0; } I took both clang and gcc from the svn trunk and boost in version 1.63. I did not have the time yet to dig through the boost implementation but I could not find anything in the issue tracker. So is this a compiler error of gcc or is this a bug in boost. I was able to find a stackoverflow question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/40291949/boostinteger-mask-gcc-compiler-… And the answer sounds reasonable to me that this is a bug in boost. Can anyone confirm this? And why does clang accept this? Thanks, Michael

So I beat on this a bit more and I'm past the clang path issue (it was some %~dp0/clang38++.exe stuff the batch file was doing which didn't resolve the right base path) What are the actual include directories I need to use for clang?

License questions
by Julian D. 25 Mar '17

25 Mar '17

I am making a confidential commercial closed-source program, and Boost's libraries seem useful for me. I can't tell if the Boost license allows me to include it in closed-source. Would anybody know?

That appears to be the definition of what license they wanted, not the actual license. The license body makes it unclear if I can use this in a closed-source commercial environment On Thu, Mar 23, 2017 at 3:51 PM, <boost-users-request(a)lists.boost.org> wrote: > > Message: 5 > Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2017 17:54:04 +0100 > From: Mateusz Loskot <mateusz(a)loskot.net> > To: boost-users(a)lists.boost.org > Subject: Re: [Boost-users] License questions > Message-ID: > <CABUeae_a-cNCdw00fYN4Gyb_a7Gk_QOo7cARXNo3Lh8eXAAVtQ@ > mail.gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 > > On 23 March 2017 at 17:38, Julian D. via Boost-users > <boost-users(a)lists.boost.org> wrote: > > I am making a confidential commercial closed-source program, and Boost's > > libraries seem useful for me.

[format] warning...warning...warning
by Arnaud RICHARD 24 Mar '17

24 Mar '17

Hello, I'm a complete Boost newbie. I've been told very often that boost is the way to go for serious C++ coding, and I was not surprised to see such emphasis on the home page: "We aim to establish "existing practice" and provide reference implementations so that Boost libraries are suitable for eventual standardization" So when I used the format library on my existing (non-trivial) project and first compiled... I was very very surprised to get my neat compilation console flooded with hundreds of warnings ! I acknowledge I activate many many warnings: CXXFLAGS+=-Wall -Wextra -Wcast-qual -Wctor-dtor-privacy -Wdisabled-optimization \ -Wformat=2 -Winit-self -Wlogical-op -Wmissing-include-dirs \ -Wnoexcept -Woverloaded-virtual -Wredundant-decls -Wshadow \ -Wsign-conversion -Wsign-promo -Wstrict-null-sentinel -Wstrict-overflow=5 \ -Wswitch-default -Wundef -Wunused The warnings were as trivial as (for example): ../ext/boost/boost/type_traits/is_default_constructible.hpp:16:22: warning: "BOOST_GCC_VERSION_WORKAROUND_GUARD" is not defined [-Wundef] #if BOOST_WORKAROUND(BOOST_GCC_VERSION, < 40700) ../ext/boost/boost/format/parsing.hpp:435:67: warning: conversion to 'std::vector<boost::io::detail::format_item<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, std::allocator<boost::io::detail::format_item<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > > >::size_type {aka unsigned int}' from 'int' may change the sign of the result [-Wsign-conversion] string_type & piece = (cur_item==0) ? prefix_ : items_[cur_item-1].appendix_; I understand they are only warning and the code is functionally correct and standard-wise correct. Personally when I face such false warnings in my code, I change the code to remove the warning so that if a warning does make sense, I can notice it. I thought a reference implementation would be written with such policy. There's no way I'm gonna read each of the hundreds of messages to understand if it is a mistake in my source code or a "shortcut" in boost library. So this is my first user experience. Not impressed at all. Boost will not be my reference.

boost asio client socket connection to servers behind a public IP address

Hi, I need to run boost asio client socket connections to remote servers via a remote proxy server, the remote proxy server has a public IP address, but none of remote servers have public IP addresses. Appreciate any clues or samples. Thank you.

[TypeErasure] efficiency problem
by Mikhail Strelnikov 24 Mar '17

24 Mar '17

Hello! In following code TypeErasure creates two copies of s, while Boost.Any creates no copies at all. any x{ s{} }; any y{ std::move(x) }; any z; z = std::move(y); There is move constructor for type_erasure::any, but it does allocate memory and calls copy constructor for s. Why? And why there is no move assignment operator in type_erasure::any? Thanks. Full source: https://wandbox.org/permlink/iHs5a0bjzXsBtpwC
