[Signals2] Deprecated header warning VS2017 Boost 1.74
by Peter Barker 27 Oct '20

27 Oct '20

Hi, Just upgraded to Boost 1.74 from Boost 1.71. I'm getting a warning: c:\releases\lib\boost\boost_1_74_0\include\boost\function_output_iterator.hpp(14): note: This header is deprecated. Use <boost/iterator/function_output_iterator.hpp> instead. from this MWE: #include <boost/signals2/signal.hpp> int main() { } I'll have to #define BOOST_ALLOW_DEPRECATED_HEADERS I guess, but I'm surprised Boost libraries are using deprecated Boost headers. Regards, Pete

A Newbie Boost.Build with Variants Question
by Ryan Heniser 24 Oct '20

24 Oct '20

Hi, I am building Boost 1.61 (we need this old version for other libraries) for the first time at work with Boost.Build (b2). I have successfully built Boost (using b2) for gcc 4.8. If I want to add one or more variants (for example using gcc 6.3), where should I put the Boost header’s include directory? Should one go inside each variant or should just one go at the root directory containing the variant directories? Kind regards, Ryan

[Newbie][Intrusive] - Beginners question
by Gaier, Bjoern 22 Oct '20

Hey everybody, I looked into the boost intrusive container and played around with it a bit. I tried the following code: struct animal : public boost::intrusive::list_base_hook<> { std::string name; int legs; animal(std::string n, int l) : name{std::move(n)}, legs{l} {} }; int main(int argc, char **argv) { std::vector<animal> test; boost::intrusive::list<animal> wuff; for(int n = 0; n < 5; n++) { test.push_back(animal("Katze", 4)); } for(int n = 0; n < 5; n++) { wuff.push_back(test[n]); } for(int n = 0; n < 15; n++) { wuff.push_back(test[n]); } for(auto elem : wuff) { printf("%s\n", elem.name.c_str()); } } This code does crash! I guess this is because "test" relocated the memory and therefor "wuff" lost its references. I would expect the same result if I would have a std::list with pointers to animal structures - this is why I wonder what the benefit of an intrusive container is compared to the same container with just pointers in it. Hope someone can explain me this! Thank you in advance and kind greetings Björn Als GmbH eingetragen im Handelsregister Bad Homburg v.d.H. HRB 9816, USt.ID-Nr.

Does boost promise/future support corroutines?

Hi, Does boost promise/future support coroutines? For example, the get call only block the running coroutine, instead of the whole thread? Thanks,David

Boost.MSM: Problem with defered events
by Georg Gast 16 Oct '20

16 Oct '20

Dear Boost users, i am currently writing a driver for the ADS1256 chip with Boost.MSM. Yes, there are other drivers. I do this for training and fun. During the startup phase i need to defer the requests from the user as the SPI bus is not yet available. To model the behaviour the most correct, i tried to model it with MSM. In the transition table, i use the "Defer" action to defer these events. In my Idle state, after the startup phase, there is a transition with this defered event going to the "work" states. In the debugger i can see, that the defered_event_queue holds one defered event and it is of my type but it is not processed. I did use boost 1.67.0 (from debian buster ) and also 1.74.0 (self compiled) to test this. My program can be also compiled under Windows and VS2019 as i handled the hardware interfacing with a abstract class. It works under Windows and 1.74.0. With VS2017 and 1.67.0 it also does not work. Under Linux and gcc it always stops at the Idle state where i wait for the defered event. At the end is my transition table. Any ideas are welcome!

Boost configuration for VS Code / MacOS X Catalina

Hi, how should i configure vs code to use Boost? I tried to compile the following example: #include <iostream> #include <boost/multiprecision/float128.hpp> #include <boost/math/special_functions/gamma.hpp> int main() { using namespace boost::multiprecision; // Operations at 128-bit precision and full numeric_limits support: float128 b = 2; // There are 113-bits of precision: std::cout << std::numeric_limits<float128>::digits << std::endl; // Or 34 decimal places: std::cout << std::numeric_limits<float128>::digits10 << std::endl; // We can use any C++ std lib function, lets print all the digits as well: std::cout << std::setprecision(std::numeric_limits<float128>::max_digits10) << log(b) << std::endl; // print log(2) = 0.693147180559945309417232121458176575 // We can also use any function from Boost.Math: std::cout << boost::math::tgamma(b) << std::endl; // And since we have an extended exponent range we can generate some really large // numbers here (4.02387260077093773543702433923004111e+2564): std::cout << boost::math::tgamma(float128(1000)) << std::endl; // // We can declare constants using GCC or Intel's native types, and the Q suffix, // these can be declared constexpr if required: constexpr float128 pi = 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058Q; return 0; } but that's what I get: Executing task: g++-10 -g -std=c++17 '-fext-numeric-literals' main.cpp -L/usr/local/Cellar/gcc/10.2.0/lib/gcc/10/ -lquadmath -o main.out < main.cpp:2:10: fatal error: boost/multiprecision/float128.hpp: No such file or directory 2 | #include <boost/multiprecision/float128.hpp> | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ compilation terminated.

A question about boost::uuid
by Shishir Pandey 10 Oct '20

10 Oct '20

Hi all, I have been trying to figure out how to use murmurhash3 with boost::uuid. Looking at the documentation it is not entirely clear to me if a class implementing murmurhash3 that provides the interface defined by NameHashProvider would be sufficient. If yes, would creating a wrapper over the following implementation work? https://github.com/aappleby/smhasher/blob/master/src/MurmurHash3.cpp Can anyone direct me to some similar implementation perhaps not of using murmurhash3 but of using any other algorithms?

If not yet, how hard would it be to improve the interoperability of those two libraries? If the FPR documentation already addresses this point, a terse reply to that effect will suffice.
