[boost::units] Best practices for implementing custom units and quantities
by Alexandru Onea 01 Mar '21

01 Mar '21

Hello community, I am working on a project which works with units such as scale intervals (cents, moria, etc.) depending on the temperament system used (24-EDO, 72-EDO, etc.). My implementation defines a namespace for each tuning system. Within the namespaces I define base units, units and a system, as well as conversion factors between the systems. The base dimension is defined in only one of the namespaces (corresponding to the tuning system which I consider "standard" which is the 1200 cents per octave system). 1. Does such an approach qualify as a good approach in general (leaving aside the musical aspects)? 2. Is it a good practice to place all these namespaces in boost::units (extend boost::units)? Or should I keep them within my own namespaces? Learning the answer to #2 is more interesting to me, even in the absence of an answer to #1. Best regards, Alexandru Onea

Question about Boost Integer
by Emilio Paolini 28 Feb '21

28 Feb '21

Hi everyone, i'm pretty new to Boost. I need to use as a default type for the CNL. The problem is that i would need an integer type that can assume only 2^4 values (so basically that stays on 4 bits). What i am asking is that if there is a way to define an integer like int128_t but instead of 128 i would need to have 4. Thank you very much for your answers. Emilio

flyweights, nested flyweights and shared libraries
by Andreas Buykx 25 Feb '21

25 Feb '21

I want to use boost::flyweight to capture some structures containing const data. The documentation states that if flyweights are exported across shared library boundaries that the intermodule holder should be used. Since my flyweights are all created in the same shared library I would prefer to use the static holder but I keep getting crashes. I tried the intermodule holder but I'm having trouble compiling my sources with that. So my thinking was to wrap all flyweight types in accessor classes which are exposed instead, and the accessor classes create the flyweights within the same shared library to store the data. Would that be a valid approach? Also, is it possible to have nested flyweights (when they are wrapped by accessor classes)? And would that cause any additional problems in the above scenario? Below is an example of what I'm trying to achieve... Thanks for your advice! Andreas === Foo.h === struct FooDetails { FooDetails( std::string text_, std::vector<double> values ); std::string text; std::vector<double> values; }; class STUFF_EXPORT Foo { public: Foo( std::string text_, std::vector<double> values ); // rule-of-5 constructors declared, and default-implemented in cpp file const std::string& text() const; const std::vector<double>& values() const; private: boost::flyweight<FooDetails> m_data; }; === Foo.cpp === FooDetails( ( std::string text_, std::vector<double> values_ ) : text(text_), values( values_ ) { } Foo::Foo( std::string text_, std::vector<double> values_ ) m_data( FooDetails( text_, values_ ) ) { } std::string Foo::text() const { return m_data.get().text; } std::vector<double> Foo::values() const { return m_data.get().values; } === Bar.h === struct BarDetails { BarDetails( Foo foo_, std::vector<long> ids_ ); Foo foo; //< Foo holds a flyweight std::vector<long> ids; }; class STUFF_EXPORT Bar { public: Bar( std::string text_, std::vector<double> values_, std::vector<long> ids_ ); // rule-of-5 constructors declared, and default-implemented in cpp file const std::string& text() const; const std::vector<double>& values() const; const std::vector<long>& ids() const; private: boost::flyweight<BarDetails> m_bar; }; === Bar.cpp === BarDetails::BarDetails( Foo foo_, std::vector<long> ids_ ) : foo( foo_ ), ids( ids_ ) { } Bar::Bar( std::string text_, std::vector<double> values_, std::vector<long> ids_ ) : m_bar( Foo( text_, values), ids_ ) { } const std::string& Bar::text() const { return m_bar.get().m_foo.text(); } const std::vector<double>& Bar::values() const { return m_bar.get().foo.values(); } const std::vector<long>& Bar::ids() const { return m_bar.get().ids; }

I think 3.6 should suffice indeed, so I tried using 3.6 by removing the 3.7 installation from the Dockerfile and using the -lboost_numpy3 flag instead. It seems I ran into some linking issue after this. It was able to find the right numpy3.so and libboost_python3-py36.so, but I'm getting a lot of errors like these: //usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_numpy3.so: undefined reference to `PyExc_ValueError' //usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_python3-py36.so.1.65.1: undefined reference to `PyLong_AsLong' //usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_python3-py36.so.1.65.1: undefined reference to `PyNumber_InPlaceFloorDivide' //usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_python3-py36.so.1.65.1: undefined reference to `PyBool_Type' etc...

Prooblem building software with fstream.hpp
by Mack Wallace 21 Feb '21

21 Feb '21

Hi all. I'm a noob and unfamiliar with boost. It has also been a long time since I have done any C++ programming. In any case, here are the details: I am trying to compile MecnRao/TCP-UDP-Proxy that uses the Boost Library. I am trying to compile this for Windows, ultimately Windows 10, but at the moment trying to compile on my Windows 7 VM. I am using Visual Studio Pro 2019. After trying the latest version of the Boost Library with some errors due to some deprecated members, I bounced around older versions until finding that Version 1.68.0 reduced my compile errors substantially, and of those 20 or so errors, are caused by some typedef problems in fstream.hpp. (I could be wrong, but the errors all seem to be related to fstream_fix.) Specifically, I get the following errors to begin with: 'fstream_fix<std::basic_ifstream<char,std::char_traits<char> > >' is not a variable template 'fstream_fix<std::basic_ofstream<char,std::char_traits<char> > >' is not a variable template This comes from the following lines in the fstream.hpp typedef basic_ifstream<char> ifstream; typedef basic_ofstream<char> ofstream; Where ifstream and ofstream are indicated as being redefined as #define ifstream fstream_fix<std::ifstream> #define ofstream fstream_fix<std::ofstream> Within the program with fstream_fix as template<class T> struct fstream_fix : public T { fstream_fix(){}; template<class T1> fstream_fix(T1 v1){ setlocale(LC_CTYPE, ""); T::open(v1); setlocale(LC_CTYPE, 0); } template<class T1,class T2> fstream_fix(T1 v1,T2 v2){ setlocale(LC_CTYPE, ""); T::open(v1,v2); setlocale(LC_CTYPE, 0); } template<class T1> void open(T1 v1){ setlocale(LC_CTYPE, ""); T::open(v1); setlocale(LC_CTYPE, 0); } template<class T1,class T2> void open(T1 v1,T2 v2){ setlocale(LC_CTYPE, ""); T::open(v1,v2); setlocale(LC_CTYPE, 0); } }; So I'm wondering if this is a newer/different compiler issue? Or the application itself? Or maybe just missing something like uses namespace std. I am hoping someone can help me nip this last problem so I can get this compiled. Thanks, Mack

boost::asio::read() gets stuck when there's no internet

Hi, I am using boost 1.58 in my project. Ran into a crash in the boost filesystem library. I've included the relevant stack trace at the end of the email. My code is something like this: boost::filesystem::path fpath(mFilename.c_str()); if (!boost::filesystem::exists(fpath)) { // log a message and return. return; } auto curr_time = boost::filesystem::last_write_time(fpath); <== crash The crash is not consistent and happened randomly. I tested the above code in a small test program with just the above code. I made the input file unreadable etc, even then it was able to successfully read the last write timestamp of the file without any issues. Not sure why this particular call would throw an error. Since it's compiled with -O2, the error code is optimized out in the stack trace. Any ideas? Thanks for your help. Dk.

Boost cannot find numpy37 on Dockerized Ubuntu 20.04
by Roy de Bokx 17 Feb '21

17 Feb '21

Hi there, I've been trying to get GP-GOMEA running in a dockerized environment <https://github.com/marcovirgolin/GP-GOMEA/issues/2>, which is a project that is built using Boost. As part of the build process, the source code is compiled by the g++ compiler, using the flag -lboost_numpy37, which fails because (it seems) numpy cannot be found. I've reported this also as an issue also in the boost repository <https://github.com/boostorg/boost/issues/462>, but mclow advised me to send this to the boost-users mailinglist too. I've create the following Dockerfile as a minimal test case, which runs into the same problem. I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to Boost and numpy, but from what I found so far on the web, this should work (but it doesn't) FROM ubuntu:20.04 ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND noninteractive RUN apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y && apt-get clean RUN apt-get install -y curl python3.7 python3-dev python3-distutils python3-numpy # Install latest boost version RUN apt-get -y install wget g++ RUN wget https://dl.bintray.com/boostorg/release/1.75.0/source/boost_1_75_0.tar.bz2 && \ tar --bzip2 -xf boost_1_75_0.tar.bz2 && \ cd boost_1_75_0 && \ # this will generate ./b2 ./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/usr/local && \ ./b2 --with=all install && \ sh -c 'echo "/usr/local/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/local.conf' && \ ldconfig # Check numpy installation RUN find / -name "numpy.hpp" RUN find / -name "libboost_numpy37.so" RUN find / -name "libboost_numpy3.so" RUN find / -name "libboost_numpy.so" RUN ld -lboost_numpy37 --verbose This eventually results in the following error: The command '/bin/sh -c ld -lboost_numpy37 --verbose' returned a non-zero code: 1, because it could not find any libboost_numpy37.so or libboost_numpy37.o file. The full logs are attached in the GH issue linked above. Did anyone encounter something similar, or does anyone have an idea what could cause this? Any help is much appreciated! -Roy

How to change read/write method of source/sink device in C++ boost::iostreams?
by mostaan fereidooni 16 Feb '21

16 Feb '21

I'm trying to get familiar with boost::iostream, so in a example program I'm writing, I want to read a text from a file and write it to file. I would use my inherited class from file_source/file_sink as device to read/write. In the read method, my class needs to add each character with one and write method needs to subtract one from each character. First of all, I want to make sure that the reading part of the program works properly so you can see the code as follow: #include <boost/iostreams/stream.hpp>#include <fstream>#include "MyFileSource.h"#include <iostream>using namespace std;using namespace boost::iostreams;int main(){ MyFileSource<char> fileSource("source.txt"); stream<MyFileSource<char>> myStream(fileSource); std::cout << myStream.rdbuf(); fileSource.close(); } and my inherited source device code is as follow: template <typename charType>class MyFileSource : public boost::iostreams::file_source {public: MyFileSource(const std::string& path) : boost::iostreams::file_source(path) { file_path = path; if (!is_open()) open(path); seek(0, ios::end); sizeOfFile = seek(0, ios::cur); seek(0, ios::beg); buffer = new charType[sizeOfFile]; } std::streamsize read(charType*, std::streamsize) { std::streamsize readCount = boost::iostreams::file_source::read(buffer, sizeOfFile); if (readCount > 0) { std::string result(buffer, readCount); for (char& c : result) c++; finalResult = result; } return readCount; } private: string file_path; int sizeOfFile; charType* buffer; std::string finalResult; }; unfortunately, the result of *std::cout << myStream.rdbuf()* with above read method is nothing while if I delete the read method of MyFileSource class to use the read method of parent, the result will be correct. Any help will be appreciated.
