Hmm i have a question, are there ways to get names of the function from boost::function.. example i have void printfuncname(boost::function<void(int)> func) { do some code to print its name. } int main() { boost::function<void(int)> voidint voidint = &somefunc; printfuncname(func); } Thanks...

This is a very valuable piece of information, and increases my suspicions that the problem lies in your code rather than in B.MI: hashed and ordered indices share almost no code at all, so if the problem persists after switching the index type it's probably because the error lies outside the library. Of course, I might be wrong. > It seems that it is core dumping on following line: > > bool Procedure_Pool::find_by_id(Procedure * _procedure) > { > LD_TRACE("Procedure_Pool::find_by_id"); > ACE_ASSERT(_procedure != 0); > ACE_DEBUG((LM_DEBUG, "PROCEDURE TO FIND: %d\n", _procedure->id())); > Procedure_By_Id::iterator it = procedure_by_id_.find(_procedure->id ()); > ACE_DEBUG((LM_DEBUG, "AFTER FIND CALL\n")); > return (it != procedure_by_id_.end()); > } > > Please let me know if I am doing something wrong here. Also, > let me know if you need any more information. Please see debug > output at the end of the email. I was consiering two possible causes for the crash in my previous post (leaving out the possibility of a bug in B.MI): 1. Procedure id inadvertently changed. 2. Procedure object deleted before having been removed from the Procedure_Pool. The fact that the crash is now happening in find seems to rule out 1, because inconsistent id's might lead to wrong results in a query, but in no case to a core dump. So, I'd say you are somehow deleting Procedure objects without removing them before from the Procedure_Pool. Maybe you can try to check this as follows: If you can locate all the places in your code where a Procedure object is deleted, i.e expressions of the form: delete p; // p is a Procedure * try instrumenting *all of them* with the following check: if(p != 0){ // Get the pool. I guess you've got some API to do this. Procedure_Hashed_Pool* pool=...; // Since we're deleting p, it musn't still be in pool! assert(pool->find_by_id(p->id()) == 0); } delete p; Do you get an assertion? If so, here's your bug. Please report back. If this doesn't clear up the problem we can explore some other paths. Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

Hi Joaquin, Seems the problem was happening when I call add and my add method tries to first find out whether that id is already present in container or not. It is not during remove method call. I was concentrating on wrong portion of the code before. Anyways, I have changed and put some print out in code also at the end I have included output that comes. I have changed container to ordered index as you have said, but seems to be the same problem. It seems that it is core dumping on following line: bool Procedure_Pool::find_by_id(Procedure * _procedure) { LD_TRACE("Procedure_Pool::find_by_id"); ACE_ASSERT(_procedure != 0); ACE_DEBUG((LM_DEBUG, "PROCEDURE TO FIND: %d\n", _procedure->id())); Procedure_By_Id::iterator it = procedure_by_id_.find(_procedure->id()); ACE_DEBUG((LM_DEBUG, "AFTER FIND CALL\n")); return (it != procedure_by_id_.end()); } Please let me know if I am doing something wrong here.

10 May '06

Hi Joaquin, Thanks for your response. Let me try to answer as much as I can for your questions. Also, I am looking in more detail today. It most probably problem in my side. 1. Does this happen the first time remove_by_id() is called or after some running time? => No. I am adding/removing data in multiindex container every 10 millisecond. It runs fine for certain time period without problems. Core dump happens after some time or execution (it varies though 1 min to 5 min or so.) 2. When the crash happens, do you have some debugging tool which allows you to inspect the contents of the _procedure variable passed to remove_by_id()? => I only have gdb. But I am going to put some print out statements in remove_by_id() method and see what it receives. 3. Note that Procedure_Pool holds *pointers* to Procedure. Could it be, when remove_by_id() crashes, that the Procedure object pointed to by _procedure is already deleted? Check the unsubscribe() routines and all the other procedures listed in the stack trace. => Sure. Let me do that and will get back to you on this one. 4. Remember we were talking about why you cannot change directly the Procedure internal variables, but instead you have to use the updating mechanisms provided by Boost.MultiIndex, as described at: http://boost.org/libs/multi_index/doc/tutorial.html#ord_updating The original discussion was at http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2006/04/18814.php Are you respecting this? Could it be you have inadvertently changed some procedure id by calling some member function of Procedure interface? => Yes. At this point I am not changing anything in procedure object that used by multiindex function calls after creating procedure. Let me verify this one too again. 5. You are using hashed indices, try, just for testing purposes, replacing them with ordered indices (in principle, you will only have to change the Procedure_Hashed_Pool typedef) Rerun: does the crash still persist? => Sure let me try this first. I used hashed index to improve performance. But I can change and try it out. Will get back to you On this one too. First I will try this. Thanks a lot for your reply on this one.

Hopefully, some of thes points will shed some more light. Looking fwd to your reporting. On a side note, your code shows a Procedure_Hashed_Pool with only one index, yet you define two views on it, namely pool_ and procedure_by_id_, which are the same. This is at most superfluous, although maybe what you have sent is some reduced form of the original code.

Poll: Are you stuck on an old Boost release due to a defective compiler?
by Nicola Musatti 10 May '06

10 May '06

Hallo, I'm trying to gauge the number of Boost users that are actually using an older version of the libraries because they have to use a compiler that's not supported by more recent versions of the libraries they use. As for myself, I work on a project where Borland's BCB6 is used and we're stuck with Boost 1.31 mostly because more recent versions of uBlas do not work with our compiler. Cheers, Nicola Musatti

program_options questions
by Roel 10 May '06

10 May '06

Hi, I've been using boost::program_options but I have some questions about it. First: to catch errors that the users makes when specifying command-line options (eg I declared an option to be integer-only but the user specified a string), I surrounded the call to store() by a try/catch block: try { boost::program_options::store( boost::program_options::command_line_parser(argc, argv). options(desc).positional(p).run(), vm); } catch (boost::program_options::invalid_option_value e) { } But now how do I give a meaningfull error message? The what() function of invalid_option_value is private, what other options do I have? Secondly, is there a mechanism to check the relation between options? I have a number of options: -a, -m and -d for add, modify and delete respectively; I want only one of them to be allowed at the same time. Also, when the -a option is specified, the -t and -r options are valid, and only then. Do I have to check all of that manually? Thanks. cheers, roel

boost serialization compilation and WCHAR
by Brian Budge 10 May '06

10 May '06

Hi all - I'm running into problems building the serialization library with gcc 4.1. I tracked it down to a change in libstdc++ for gcc 4.1 from the gcc 3.x libstdc++. I'm sure there's a bug, but I'm not sure if it is a boost bug, a libstdc++ bug, or a gcc 4.1 bug. boost_1_33_1/boost/config/stdlib/libstdcpp3.hpp says: #if !defined(_GLIBCPP_USE_WCHAR_T) && !defined(_GLIBCXX_USE_WCHAR_T) # define BOOST_NO_CWCHAR # define BOOST_NO_CWCTYPE # define BOOST_NO_STD_WSTRING # define BOOST_NO_STD_WSTREAMBUF #endif and indeed, with the 4.1 compiler, neither define is defined. For 4.1 in file /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.0/include/g++-v4/i686-pc-linux-gnu/c++config.h I have /* Defined if vfwscanf exists. */ #define _GLIBCXX_HAVE_VFWSCANF 1 /* Defined if vswscanf exists. */ #define _GLIBCXX_HAVE_VSWSCANF 1 /* Defined if vwscanf exists. */ #define _GLIBCXX_HAVE_VWSCANF 1 /* Define to 1 if you have the <wchar.h> header file. */ #define _GLIBCXX_HAVE_WCHAR_H 1 /* Defined if wcstof exists. */ #define _GLIBCXX_HAVE_WCSTOF 1 /* Define to 1 if you have the <wctype.h> header file. */ #define _GLIBCXX_HAVE_WCTYPE_H 1 (no reference to USE_WCHAR_T) and in /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.5/include/g++-v3/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bits/c++config.h I have // Define if code specialized for wchar_t should be used. #define _GLIBCXX_USE_WCHAR_T 1 my fix would be one of three things: 1) in c++config.h #define _GLIBCXX_USE_WCHAR_T 2) in libstdcpp3.hpp add a test for _GLIBCXX_HAVE_WCHAR_H: #if !defined(_GLIBCPP_USE_WCHAR_T) && !defined(_GLIBCXX_USE_WCHAR_T) && !defined(_GLIBCXX_HAVE_WCHAR_H) # define BOOST_NO_CWCHAR # define BOOST_NO_CWCTYPE # define BOOST_NO_STD_WSTRING # define BOOST_NO_STD_WSTREAMBUF #endif 3) somewhere else #ifdef _GLIBCXX_HAVE_WCHAR_H #define _GLIBCXX_USE_WCHAR_T #endif What do you guys think?
