size of libboost_thread-gcc-mt.so
by Amerio 30 Mar '05

30 Mar '05

Hello, After compiling libboost_thread-gcc-mt.so on debian/gcc-2.95.4, this so weights 195kB, while libpthread weights only 100kB. Why such a huge difference ? Isn't boost::thread meant to be as lightweight as possible ? What about the raw inpact on runtime memory consumption compared to std pthreads ?

Mailing list archive change and list downtime
by Beman Dawes 30 Mar '05

30 Mar '05

DongInn Kim, Jeff Squyres, and the other sysadmins at Indiana University are planning to switch all the Boost mailing list archives they host from MHonArc to Hypermail. They report "Hypermail seems to be much more stable, faster, and more efficient than MHonArc. We've been quite pleased with it, and have deployed it across most other lists on the listserver already (the boost lists were saved until last)." The old archives will still be available, and DongInn and Jeff have made various … [View More]

Errors Compiling date_time Serialization Headers w/ Gcc on Linux
by Jalon, Arnon 30 Mar '05

30 Mar '05

Hi, I am new to the list. Appologies in advance if I'm posting something that's been already addressed, but I was unable to find anything related to it while searching the archives. I'm trying to use the date_time serialization headers in my application. I'm actually using the boost headers and libraries that came with the fedora core 3 linux distribution, and compiling with gcc 3.4.2. Including boost/date_time/time_serialize.hpp in my source gives me several compilation errors. I perused … [View More]the time_serialize.hpp and greg_serialize.hpp headers and found places where the typename keyword was being used in front of class types that were simply qualified by namespace, as well functions where variables were used that weren't declared. I modified the headers to get it to compile, but would like to see if anyone else has been able to work around the problem in a less intrusive way? If need be I can post the patch files I created to a proper place. Below are the errors I was getting: g++ -g -I. -c parseAccessLog.cpp In file included from /usr/include/boost/date_time/posix_time/time_serialize.hpp :13, from logobject.hpp:11, from parseAccessLog.cpp:19: /usr/include/boost/date_time/gregorian/greg_serialize.hpp: In function `void boost::serialization::save(Archive&, const boost::gregorian::date_period&, unsigned int)': /usr/include/boost/date_time/gregorian/greg_serialize.hpp:150: error: no class template named `date' in `boost::gregorian' /usr/include/boost/date_time/gregorian/greg_serialize.hpp:150: error: invalid type in declaration before '=' token . .

Boost.lambda
by Sean DeNigris 30 Mar '05

30 Mar '05

Can anyone explain why the class member functions need their address taken when used in a boost::lambda::bind inside the class? e.g. vector<int> v; MyClass theClass; for_each(v.begin(), v.end(), bind(MyClass::DoSomething, &theClass, _1)); //The above compiles fine, but. class MyClass { public: void DoSomething(const int& i) { . } void Go() { for_each(myInts.begin(), myInts.end(), /*--------------------->*/ bind(MyClass::… [View More]

boost::read_write_mutex simple usage question.
by Gordon Smith 30 Mar '05

30 Mar '05

The following code seems to deadlock on the second (read) scoped lock (not what I would expect): boost::read_write_mutex mutex(boost::read_write_scheduling_policy::alternating_single_read); { boost::read_write_mutex::scoped_write_lock writeLock(mutex); } { boost::read_write_mutex::scoped_read_lock readLock(mutex); }

Re: Loki vs. Boost

Is there anything new to this old posting's question (2002) which was never answered? Is Loki going to be part of boost one day? Never? To what extent can they co-exist in one project?

boost::thread::join causes assertion (pthreads)
by Thorsten Froehlich 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

Hi, I noticed that when using thread::join and the thread has already completed, at least on Mac OS X using pthreads, pthread_join returns EINVAL, thus triggering the assertion res == 0. Is this intentional or a bug? Thorsten
