Regarding dijkstra_shortest_path() in boost graph library
by Rohith Reddy 20 Aug '15

20 Aug '15

Hello there, I started using Boost graph library recently for one of my projects.I was trying to implement dijkstra's shortest path algorithm with the help of the following function, dijkstra_shortest_paths (G, vertex(a, G), distance_map(make_iterator_property_map(distance.begin(), vertex_id, distance[0])). predecessor_map(make_iterator_property_map(parent.begin(), vertex_id, parent[0])). visitor(make_dijkstra_visitor(copy_graph(G_copy, on_examine_edge())))); But while comparing the definition of the function as in http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/graph/doc/dijkstra_shortest_paths…, to the above written function,it doesnt make sense, especially the third argument of the above written function.Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance.

Encoding with read_xml()
by ashish g 20 Aug '15

20 Aug '15

Hi I was looking into using the function 'read_xml()' which parses an xml file and populates a ptree. However I had a couple of questions which I couldnt find documentation for. 1. Is the encoding of the xml file format preserverd when the data is stored into the ptree. i.e lets say I have an xml file in utf-8 format. Are the strings inside my ptree utf-8 encoded as well? Or is it converted to system default encoding? 2. Passing the locale information as an argument to read_xml(), what effect does it have? I believe it assumes the xml file is formatted using the locale encoding, or uses system locale encoding if no arg is passed. Is this true even if my xml 's first line explicitly states that it uses and encoding diff from the system encoding. for eg: lets say im on windows with 1252 encoding. My xml file is utf-8, and is specified on the first line. If i call read_xml() on this file, without passing a locale as arg, does it use system 1252 encoding to parse the file or utf-8? Any pointers would be very helpful. Thank you -- *Ashish Gudla*

[MSM] Stack blown with deferred events (1.59.0)
by Tom Gibson 20 Aug '15

20 Aug '15

Hi Boost-Users and Christophe, I'm having an issue when using MSM's deferred events feature. I've written a very basic example of a state machine, simulating batching upon receipt of events using the deferred message queue as a buffer, and then handling the events in another state once a watermark has been hit. This however, is not working as well as I'd hoped. I've made the batch size configurable with a constructor variable on the state machine, and am using guards in the transition table to do the checking. Whilst functionally this works, when I set a reasonably large batch size (10,000), the process cores. I've done a bit of digging in gdb, and it appears that the stack is being blown. `ulimit -s shows 8192` as my stack limit, raising this to 16384 with a 10k batch size works, although the performance is pretty bad. Raising the batch size to beyond the stack limit once again breaks MSM. I've attached my test program, and am compiling and running locally with: ``` clang++ -std=c++11 -o batcher -g batch_test.cpp ./batcher <batch size> [total events=100000] ``` To summarize, I've a few questions with my scenario. 1. Am I using the deferred events feature correctly? I believe I've followed the documentation, but it is entirely possible there's something I'm missing! 2. Is this a valid use case for the deferred events feature, or something that wouldn't be recommended? Handling of deferred events seems to be fine normally, but with a large number of events, the performance does seem to suffer significantly. For example, `time` shows a batch size of 10 taking 0.470s, with a batch size of 5000 taking 24.415s. This gap is closed significantly when built with with -02 due to inlining, but its still significant. 3. The stack blowing to me implies recursion when items are processed from the deferred events queue (rather than a linear iteration over the container (deque in my case)). I've tried to follow this in the MSM code, but it's heavy stuff. In this scenario, is it possible I would be better to implement my own queuing mechanism? Thanks, Tom

Errors and failed targets when building [filesystem]

Hi guys, I am extremely new at boost. I downloaded the latest version and I did the following: I am using windows7 64 bit and GCC 5.1. I opened command line, went to C:\boost\tools\build and ran the command: bootstrap gcc The output is: Bootstrapping the build engine execcmd.c: In function 'onintr': execcmd.c:120:5: warning: implicit declaration of function 'out_printf' [-Wimpli cit-function-declaration] out_printf( "...interrupted\n" ); ^ execnt.c: In function 'maxline': execnt.c:524:12: warning: type defaults to 'int' in declaration of 'result' [-Wi mplicit-int] static result; ^ make.c: In function 'make': make.c:132:13: warning: implicit declaration of function 'out_printf' [-Wimplici t-function-declaration] out_printf( "...found %d target%s...\n", counts->targets, ^ make.c: In function 'make0': make.c:735:13: warning: implicit declaration of function 'out_flush' [-Wimplicit -function-declaration] out_flush(); ^ modules/path.c: In function 'path_exists': modules/path.c:16:12: warning: implicit declaration of function 'file_query' [-W implicit-function-declaration] return file_query( list_front( lol_get( frame->args, 0 ) ) ) ? ^ Bootstrapping is done.

Program Options and Filesystem ifstream

Having a problem getting the following to compile under a Linux system (Mint 17.2, boost 1.54).

multi_index member key extractors crash MSVC 2015

Hi, it looks like using boost::multi_index::member<> crashes MSVC 2015 RTM when a const-qualified type is passed to it as the 2nd argument, but the member is actually non-const. #include <boost\multi_index_container.hpp> #include <boost\multi_index\member.hpp> #include <boost\multi_index\indexed_by.hpp> #include <boost\multi_index\ordered_index.hpp> struct X { int number; // non-const }; using namespace boost::multi_index; int main() { typedef multi_index_container<X, indexed_by<ordered_unique<member<X, const int, &X::number> > > > C; C c; c.find(1); // C1001 return 0; } ...\include\boost\multi_index\member.hpp(65): fatal error C1001: An internal error has occurred in the compiler. (compiler file 'f:\dd\vctools\compiler\utc\src\p2\main.c', line 246) I found the following on a related subject, but I'm not sure whether this is a separate issue or not. http://www.boost.org/development/tests/master/developer/output/teeks99-08l-… https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/1577162/vc-inte… https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/boost-devel-archive/gi-xGnCkvPI Thanks, Filip

[Asio] Measuring and improving SSL servier scalability
by Konrad Zemek 18 Aug '15

18 Aug '15

Hi all, I've built a few different Asio-based SSL servers in my career, but in my recent project the performance and resource-efficiency was paramount (as it's a library project), so I benchmarked it to make sure. Long story short, when benchmarking I found out that OpenSSL's error handling is a *very* serious bottleneck when scaling Asio+SSL over multiple threads. This can be "fixed", e.g. by using BoringSSL instead of OpenSSL, as BoringSSL uses thread-local storage for error data instead of locking a global mutex. As I didn't find any resources discussing bad Asio+SSL multithreaded performance (aside of one or two messages somewhere on this mailing list that complained about the problem; unfortunately I can't seem to find them right now), I've written up my knowledge into a blog post [1]. I believe it might be very useful to anyone who wants to build a multi-threaded SSL server/client on top of Asio. Konrad [1] https://konradzemek.com/2015/08/16/asio-ssl-and-scalability/

[units] implicit type conversions to specific unit quantity
by Michael Powell 17 Aug '15

17 Aug '15

Hello, I'd like to convert from an SI length quantity to a US inches quantity. I believe the following snippet will do what I want it to, but wanted to clarify if that was the case: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_59_0/doc/html/boost_units/Quantities.html I am referencing the online docs, but needed some clarity in actually how to go about using it in practice: <code> using boost::units::si::meter_base_unit; using boost::units::us::inch_base_unit; // i.e. 0.3048 * 12 (inches/feet, feet/meter) BOOST_UNITS_DEFINE_CONVERSION_FACTOR(inch_base_unit, meter_base_unit, double, 3.6576); //... quantity<inch_unit> to_inches_length_quantity(quantity<length> const & L) { const quantity<inch_unit::unit_type> result_(L); return result_; } </code> Just besides that, there isn't a cleaner way of doing it? Some have mentioned going as far as creating a whole other system for my calculator's purposes, for example. Thank you... Best regards, Michael Powell

These remaining issues are preventing me from building my own library because it depends on some of the Boost libraries that are still failing to build.

That said, I think we need to start planning an alternative to sourceforge for releases. It is not clear to me that it will still be around in a few years.

The bigger question is external libraries. I link with zlib, and bzip2 but not MPI for instance. I have had users ask for different version numbers of those libraries, but my answer is then that you're on your own for building anything else. These kind of questions are only relevant to far less than 1% of the people who download the binaries. Tom
