[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::filtered_graph filtering on vertex color... if I only had a colormap
by Brian Davis 19 Jul '19

19 Jul '19

Lets say I have a graph g (of type graph_t) and a color map (boy I wish I had a colormap): typedef boost::property_map<graph_t, boost::vertex_color_t>::type color_map_t; or is it? auto indexmap = boost::get(boost::vertex_index, g); auto colors = boost::make_vector_property_map<boost::default_color_type>(indexmap); or maybe? auto indexmap = boost::get(boost::vertex_index, g); auto colors = boost::make_vector_property_map<boost::vertex_color_t>(indexmap); or possibly some goop found on the internet? boost::make_iterator_property_map(color_map.begin(), boost::get(boost::vertex_index, data_->g), color_map[0]) or other internet goop? typedef boost::property_map<GraphType, boost::vertex_color_t>::type color_map_t; color_map_t colorMap; boost::color_map(colorMap)) or other internet goop?? std::vector<int> colorMap(num_vertices(g), boost::white_color); so confused... (certainly not surprised why bgl is not a part of stl) Can someone help explain the various types and ways of specifying colormaps and the logic for each way and means? and a function (if I could get that far without VS syntax highlighter going bonkers and gobs of compiler errors.. you know the type): make_pretty(g, colormap ) which colors the graph colormap and a filter struct for boost::filtered_graph<Graph, EdgePredicate, VertexPredicate> (where I wonder why if I only want to filter vertices I have to set boost::keep_all for EdgePredicate... sigh... I know the answer... and also know how long it found me to find/figure out boost::keep_all - and if you are looking for boost::keep_all and found it here... your welcome ;-) ) and modifying (probably incorrectly) boost::filtered_graph example to: template <typename ColorMap> struct vertex_color_filter_eq { vertex_color_filter_eq() { } vertex_color_filter_eq(ColorMap colormap/*, boost::default_color_type c*/) : m_colormap(colormap)/*, m_c(c)*/ { } template <typename Vertex> bool operator()(const Vertex& v) const { return 0 < get(m_colormap, v); //return c < get(m_colormap, v); } ColorMap m_colormap; //boost::default_color_type m_c; }; auto indexmap = boost::get(boost::vertex_index, g); auto colors = boost::make_vector_property_map<boost::default_color_type>(indexmap); // some where here I would call make_pretty(g, colors) typedef property_map<graph_t, boost::vertex_color_t>::type ColorMap_t; vertex_color_filter<ColorMap_t> filter(colors); // boost::filtered_graph<graph_t, boost::keep_all, VertexPredicate> boost::filtered_graph<graph_t, boost::keep_all, vertex_color_filter> fg(g, filter); // Later say if I could get it compile and better if it compiled and worked I could move on and auto color = boost::red_color; typedef property_map<graph_t, boost::vertex_color_t>::type ColorMap_t; vertex_color_filter<ColorMap_t> filter(colors, color); boost::filtered_graph<graph_t, boost::keep_all, vertex_color_filter> fg(g, filter); Maybe if I color them yellow, I can then reach the wizard pull back the curtain and ask how to create a color map... If I only had a color map.

Boost.Test BOOST_TEST/BOOST_REQUIRE_MESSAGE message arg problems
by Olaf Peter 27 Aug '18

27 Aug '18

Hello Boost Users, for my project I'm testing using BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE and data driven test sets (BOOST_DATA_TEST_CASE). The goal is to check the proper working of a parser by checking success as such and compare the result with a "expected" data (string) vector. In case of parse error, I want to write the captured cout/cerr by boost.test into a file. In case of compare error the parsed result also shall be written to a file. The fragments show the concept/current state: namespace x3_test { // aka utils .... /* [Detect if boost test case failed]( * https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18466857/detect-if-boost-test-case-fail…) */ bool current_test_passing() { using namespace boost::unit_test; auto const id = framework::current_test_case().p_id; auto const test_results = results_collector.results(id); return test_results.passed(); } std::string report_diagnostic(fs::path const& test_case_name, std::string const& input, std::string const& result) { ... if(!x3_test::current_test_passing()) { // only write in case of failed test test_case_result_writer result_writer(test_case_name); result_writer.write(result); } return ss.str(); } } // x3_test ... BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE(.... BOOST_DATA_TEST_CASE( declaration, dataset.input() ^ dataset.expect() ^ dataset.test_case_name(), code, expect_AST, test_case_name) { using attribute_type = ast::declaration; auto const parser = parser::declaration; x3_test::testing_parser<attribute_type> parse; auto [parse_ok, parsed_AST] = parse(code, parser); BOOST_TEST(parse_ok); BOOST_REQUIRE_MESSAGE(parse_ok, x3_test::report_diagnostic(test_case_name, code, parsed_AST) ); BOOST_TEST(parsed_AST == expect_AST, btt::per_element()); BOOST_REQUIRE_MESSAGE(x3_test::current_test_passing(), x3_test::report_diagnostic(test_case_name, code, parsed_AST) ); } BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END() After some testing, the error count is twice the real (obviously here) but it's all above a work arround. It seems, that BOOST_REQUIRE_MESSAGE evaluates always the message predicate (shown by using --log_level=all) nevertheless the test case successed or failed. If failed it is streamed to the console. My first thoughs where that the message is called only in case of test failure which isn't true. The problem is now, that my report_diagnostic function write the test output (parsed_AST) to a special dir/file for later evaluating etc. The intuitive way would be: std::string report_diagnostic(fs::path const& test_case_name, std::string const& input, std::string const& result) { ... test_case_result_writer result_writer(test_case_name); result_writer.write(result); return ss.str(); } BOOST_REQUIRE_MESSAGE(parse_ok, // call diagnostic only in failure case and write then x3_test::report_diagnostic(test_case_name, code, parsed_AST) ); BOOST_REQUIRE_MESSAGE((parsed_AST == expect_AST, btt::per_element()), // call diagnostic only in failure case and write then x3_test::report_diagnostic(test_case_name, code, parsed_AST) ); Hence not depending on current_test_passing() any more. How to get this? Further, how can I get the captured std::cerr in case of '!parse_ok' inside report_diagnostic? Thanks, Olaf

building on OS X with custom gcc version
by Damien Hocking 12 Jul '18

12 Jul '18

All, I’m trying to get 1.65.1 compiled on OSX 10.13.5. I have gcc 8.1 installed and I’ve added it to user-config.jam in the home directory. When I run "bootstrap.sh —with-toolset=gcc" it uses the Darwin gcc toolset, if I try —with-toolset=gcc-8.1 I get an unknown toolset error. If I use the Darwin-based gcc version of b2 and try and build with gcc 8.1 I get this series of errors: error: No best alternative for libs/context/build/asm_sources. and also linker errors from an unknown option -h on ld. I’m assuming this is because b2 built with Darwin gcc doesn’t have the right options for gcc 8. Is there a way to force b2 to be built based on gcc 8 so it gets the assembly and linker options right?

Boost::MSM do_actions while in state

Is there any way to do this? Using boost::msm? I know for fact that you can implement transition actions using the library, I've searched a lot around the internet and I didn't find my answer.

[numeric/interval.hpp] compilation on clang++ vs g++
by M B 27 Jun '18

27 Jun '18

This may be a somewhat newbie question.This is cross-posted on stack exchange before I found this list. (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51062374/different-behavior-with-enable…) I'm having trouble compiling the following piece of boost-based code: ***** #include <boost/numeric/interval.hpp> #include <complex> int main(){ std::complex<boost::numeric::interval<double> > my_interval(1,1); my_interval *= my_interval; return 0;} ***** When I compile using g++ (MacPorts gcc5 5.5.0_1), I get no compilation errors (g++ -std=c++14 main.cpp). When I compile using clang++ (Apple LLVM version 8.1.0 (clang-802.0.38)), I get compilation errors (clang++ -std=c++14 main.cpp). Summarizing the error, it appears that an enable_if in cmath (line 424: std::enable_if<std::is_arithmetic<_A1>::value, bool>::type) is preventing isnan from being defined for boost::numeric::interval<double> (at least in clang++). Am I doing something wrong or is there a work around? I realize that this might be more of a std::complex question than a boost question, but since it involves boost, I thought that I'd ask here. Thank you. The full and complete error is below. ***** Full and Complete Error: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/../include/c++/v1/complex:599:9: error: no matching function for call to 'isnan' if (isnan(__x) && isnan(__y)) ^~~~~/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/../include/c++/v1/complex:312:27: note: in instantiation of function template specialization 'std::__1::operator*<boost::numeric::interval<double, boost::numeric::interval_lib::policies<boost::numeric::interval_lib::rounded_math<double>, boost::numeric::interval_lib::checking_strict<double> > > >' requested here *this = *this * complex(__c.real(), __c.imag()); ^main.cpp:6:15: note: in instantiation of function template specialization 'std::__1::complex<boost::numeric::interval<double, boost::numeric::interval_lib::policies<boost::numeric::interval_lib::rounded_math<double>, boost::numeric::interval_lib::checking_strict<double> > > >::operator*=<boost::numeric::interval<double, boost::numeric::interval_lib::policies<boost::numeric::interval_lib::rounded_math<double>, boost::numeric::interval_lib::checking_strict<double> > > >' requested here my_interval *= my_interval; ^/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/../include/c++/v1/cmath:424:25: note: candidate template ignored: disabled by 'enable_if' [with _A1 = boost::numeric::interval<double, boost::numeric::interval_lib::policies<boost::numeric::interval_lib::rounded_math<double>, boost::numeric::interval_lib::checking_strict<double> > >]typename std::enable_if<std::is_arithmetic<_A1>::value, bool>::type
