<boost::wave> Memory issue when using wave to run a file parser service
by Yong Huang 12 Jun '14

12 Jun '14

Hi all, I run into a memory issue when uses boost wave library. My application runs as a *service *that parses c files. In each individual run, it calls in the wave library through a sub-function call to process one file. I noticed that some memory is not released from wave after each run. The consequence is that the memory usage of the application keeps increasing till the system breaks down. I could reproduce the problem with a simple modification of the quick_start sample code shipped with the boost wave library. (attached below). My system is win64 and I see the problem with both 1.49 and 1.55. (built with b2 toolset=msvc-11.0 address-model=64 --build-type=complete) Something I found during the investigation: * The problem is gone if I build the application with link<static>. (Unfortunately, this is not an option for me) * From the memory usage pattern, it seems that there is a memory pool in place that should have been released after each turn. When repeatedly passing a 4MB file, the memory usage (taken from task maneger) is: 99,700K, 198,404K, 395,404K, 395408K, and 789,396K. When running with static link, the memory usage after each run is: 1800K, 2480K, 2480K, .... The maximum usage is 8300K. Is there any workaround with the problem?

[python] TypeError when left side is noncopyable
by Igor R 12 Jun '14

12 Jun '14

I'm trying to expose an operator: struct my_class : boost::noncopyable {}; my_class &operator <<(my_class &e, int i); // in the module definition: class_<my_class, boost::noncopyable>("my_class") .def(self << int()) ; However, an attempt to invoke this operator in python causes the following error: TypeError: No to_python (by-value) converter found for C++ type: my_class I guess this is related to the fact my_class is noncopyable, isn't it? Is there a workaround for this issue? Thanks.

pure virtuals on multiple hierarchy levels

Hello, What's the right way to wrap the following, when exposing this hierarchy to Python: sturct base { virtual void func1() = 0; }; struct intermediate : base { virtual void func2() = 0; }; struct derived : intermediate { void func1(); void func2(); }; Thanks.

[BGL]

Hello, I Have 2 graphs: graph1 and graph2, and two sets of edge descriptors. One set is associated to edges of graph1 and another set associated to edges of graph2. I don't understand why is it possible to access information about edges of graph2 by using graph1 and the edge descriptors of graph2. I realized of that because of an own mistake when using graphs. What I would like to know is why is that possible to do and if it should be an exception that can handle this situation. I send the code I was using to test this: #include <iostream> #include <boost/graph/adjacency_list.hpp> #include <boost/graph/graphviz.hpp> #include <fstream> #include "GraphInfo.h" using namespace std; using namespace boost; typedef adjacency_list<setS, vecS, bidirectionalS, VertexInfo, EdgeInfo> Graph; void printGraph(Graph graph, string file) { ofstream ofs(file.c_str()); dynamic_properties dp; dp.property("node_id", get(vertex_index, graph)); dp.property("label", get(&EdgeInfo::weight, graph)); write_graphviz_dp(ofs, graph, dp); } int main() { Graph graph1; Graph::vertex_descriptor a1 = add_vertex(graph1); Graph::vertex_descriptor b1 = add_vertex(graph1); Graph::vertex_descriptor c1 = add_vertex(graph1); Graph::edge_descriptor e1 = (add_edge(a1, b1, graph1)).first; Graph::edge_descriptor e2 = (add_edge(b1, a1, graph1)).first; graph1[a1].id = 10; graph1[b1].id = 20; graph1[c1].id = 30; graph1[e1].weight = 1; graph1[e2].weight = 2; Graph graph2; Graph::vertex_descriptor a2 = add_vertex(graph2); Graph::vertex_descriptor b2 = add_vertex(graph2); Graph::vertex_descriptor c2 = add_vertex(graph2); Graph::vertex_descriptor d2 = add_vertex(graph2); Graph::edge_descriptor e4 = (add_edge(c2, b2, graph2)).first; Graph::edge_descriptor e5 = (add_edge(b2, c2, graph2)).first; Graph::edge_descriptor e6 = (add_edge(d2, a2, graph2)).first; Graph::edge_descriptor e7 = (add_edge(a2, d2, graph2)).first; graph2[a2].id = 10; graph2[b2].id = 20; graph2[c2].id = 30; graph2[e4].weight = 13; graph2[e5].weight = 14; graph2[e6].weight = 15; graph2[e7].weight = 16; // WHY IS THIS POSSIBLE TO DO // IT IS ASKING FOR AN EDGE OF GRAPH2 BUT USING GRAPH1 ??? double weight = graph1[e7].weight; cout<<"weight: "<<weight<<endl; printGraph(graph1, "graph1.dot"); printGraph(graph2, "graph2.dot"); cout << "end" << endl; return 0; } Thank you very much

Fwd: Lexical cast between narrow and wide strings
by Andrew Marlow 11 Jun '14

11 Jun '14

I hope this is the right place to post my question. I expected to be able to convert between narrow and wide strings using boost lexical cast but it fails to compile. I suppose that conversion is not supplied or supported. It would be really useful to me if it was. I am developing on win32 for wince and on wince there seeem to be many places where wide strings are required, especially when using the win32 API. Is there any chance this could be added to boost? I checked using boost 1.55.0 -- Regards, Andrew Marlow http://www.andrewpetermarlow.co.uk

Is boost asio appropriate for this use case ?
by Aaron Boxer 10 Jun '14

10 Jun '14

I am decoding an image file: the file has tagged header info mixed with 4K pixel code blocks. Platform is primarily windows, but could be osx or linux. Once I read in a code block, I can launch (asynchronously) my decode routine on this block, while continuing to read the file for header info and code blocks. Currently, I do synchronous reads using fread(...). Is is worthwhile to switch to boost asio to asynchronously read in the code blocks? The read callback could trigger my decode routine. But I wouldn't have to wait for the read before I carry on to the next code block. If so, can anyone point me to a reference/tutorial covering boost::asio asynch reads from disk?

memory mapped file thread safety
by Aaron Boxer 09 Jun '14

Simple question: If I call get_address() on a region, can I pass this pointer to another thread and have this thread access the memory ? Thanks!
