Compiling boost with optional _GLIBCXX_DEBUG support
by Jayesh Badwaik 09 Oct '17

09 Oct '17

Hi, How to compile boost so that compilation of user programs both with _GLIBCXX_DEBUG and without _GLIBCXX_DEBUG is supported? Currently, if I compile boost with _GLIBCXX_DEBUG then I cannot compile my programs without this flag, and vice versa. The actual error comes from program_options attached in a file. I gather from the interweb that the error is well known, however, I could not find instructions to compile boost such that both options are supported. -- Cheers Jayesh Badwaik https://www.jayeshbadwaik.in

by Thorsten Ottosen 09 Oct '17

09 Oct '17

Dear users and members of Boost, We are now done with the review of Benedek Thaler's Boost.DoubleEnded library. Many thanks to all those involved in discussions and reviews. It will take me some time to digest all the feedback and get back with the review results. kind regards Thorsten, review manager -- Best regards, Thorsten Jørgen Ottosen, Ph.D. Director of Research +45 23308797 Dezide (www.dezide.com)

[asio] "reverse" stream?
by Phil Sean 07 Oct '17

07 Oct '17

Hi, Is there a stream (or other implementation) in asio that reverses the next layer and the read()/write() layer of another stream? For example, a reverse ssl::stream would send/receive data in clear text, but read()/write() operations should rather expect encrypted data. Thanks.

Is there a function available in boost geometry to find the best fit plane ? I have a set of 3D points as input. Thanks, Manoj

Memory usage of boost::unordered_multimap and boost::unordered_multimap
by Ram 06 Oct '17

06 Oct '17

Hi, I need help in determining the amount of memory used by boost::unordered_multimap and boost::unordered_multimap. We have a large code base and we have some optimizations done using boost::unordered_multimap and boost::unordered_multimap. The speed it really good, but we want to measure the amount of space it is occupying. Can somebody please help with that? I would not be able to change to use a custom new/delete. Thanks

Why no mpl::_double?
by Florian Lindner 06 Oct '17

06 Oct '17

Hello, is there a reason why there are only integral types in the boost MPL, no double or alike? http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_65_1/libs/mpl/doc/refmanual/numeric.html What is the best way to achieve: template<> struct getArg<Multiquadrics> : boost::mpl::double_<1e-3> {}; so that it is compatible with mpl::list? besides just writing the struct myself :-) Thanks, Florian

[Units]
by CD Clark 06 Oct '17

06 Oct '17

I am trying to create a set of units to use in a library, but I having trouble getting IO to work for some of them. Here is a simple example that demonstrates the problem. ============================ #include<iostream> #include <boost/units/systems/si.hpp> #include <boost/units/systems/si/io.hpp> using namespace boost::units; // short hand for meter namespace t { typedef si::length m; } namespace i { BOOST_UNITS_STATIC_CONSTANT( m, t::m ); } // centimeter namespace t { typedef make_scaled_unit< si::length, scale< 10, static_rational<-2> > >::type cm; } namespace i { BOOST_UNITS_STATIC_CONSTANT( cm, t::cm ); } // meter squared namespace t { typedef multiply_typeof_helper< m, m>::type m_m; } namespace i { BOOST_UNITS_STATIC_CONSTANT( m_m, t::m_m ); } // centimeter squared namespace t { typedef multiply_typeof_helper< cm, cm>::type cm_cm; } namespace i { BOOST_UNITS_STATIC_CONSTANT( cm_cm, t::cm_cm ); } // meter centimeter namespace t { typedef multiply_typeof_helper< m, cm>::type m_cm; } namespace i { BOOST_UNITS_STATIC_CONSTANT( m_cm, t::m_cm ); } // override default output, which prints "c(m^2)" namespace boost { namespace units { inline std::string name_string(const t::m_cm&) { return "meter centimeter"; } inline std::string symbol_string(const t::m_cm&) { return "m cm"; } } } // trying to overload output for centimeter squared namespace boost { namespace units { inline std::string name_string(const t::cm_cm&) { return "centimeter squared"; } inline std::string symbol_string(const t::cm_cm&) { return "cm^2"; } } } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { std::cout << i::m << std::endl; std::cout << i::cm << std::endl; std::cout << i::m_m << std::endl; std::cout << i::m_cm << std::endl; //std::cout << i::cm_cm << std::endl; // this won't compile quantity<t::m_m> a1(100*i::cm_cm); std::cout << a1<< std::endl; // should be 0.01 m^2 quantity<t::m_m> a2(100*i::m_cm); std::cout << a2<< std::endl; // should be 1 m^2 return 0; } ============================ Basically, I am just trying to create a convenient set of short hands. Unit types are put in a 't' namespace and instances are put in a 'i' namespace with the same name. This works fine for doing calculations and conversions with the units, but I am having trouble with getting output to work for some of them. In the example above I create a centimeter unit by scaling the meter. Then I create three different area units with the product_typeof_helper struct: meter squared, meter centimeter, and centimeter squared. Conversions work for all three of these, but output will not work for the centimeter squared unit. The program above outputs m cm m^2 m cm 0.01 m^2 1 m^2 If I uncomment the line that tries to print i::cm_cm it won't compile. I get an error that says 'symbol' is not a member of ... and points at a line that says str += Begin::item::symbol() I can't understand why it doesn't work for a product of two scaled units. cdclark

Re: [Boost-users] boost::process
by Chris Rodgers 05 Oct '17

05 Oct '17

To answer my own question - this is one working possibility using boost::process::extend... #include <boost/process.hpp> #include <boost/process/extend.hpp> int main() { boost::filesystem::path myPath(".........toRun.exe......."); auto set_own_window = [](auto & exec) { exec.creation_flags |= boost::detail::winapi::CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE_; std::cerr << "in set_own_window" << std::endl; /* just for debugging */ }; bp::child c(myPath, "argument1", boost::process::extend::on_setup=set_own_window); return 0; } This works. Is it the right approach, or is there a better way? Best wishes, Chris.

PolyCollection requiring copyable
by d3fault 05 Oct '17

05 Oct '17

I'm impressed with PolyCollection. I use the list<interface*> strategy tons in my projects, and I didn't think NOT using a pointer there was even possible... but somehow you managed. It also makes sense why PolyCollection is faster to execute etc, the tutorial was well written. The only 'con' is that it requires a copy constructor. You mention later that some copy traits thing can be used to move the "copy code" outside of the class, but I am questioning the need for copying altogether. Is "copying" of the polymorphic types necessary for: a) Technical requirement otherwise it wouldn't compile b) Design decision because you think it's superior and helpful c) To facilitate copying of the PolyCollection object itself ....? If (b) or (c), can there be a slightly altered version of PolyCollection which does not allow/require copying? I'm completely fine (and even happier) _not_ being able to copy the PolyCollection. When I use the list<interface*> strategy, I tend to consider the list to be the owner of it's objects (and delete them when the list is deleted). There should be PolyCollection::emplace and the poly instances should "live" in the PolyCollection. Accessing the poly instances should be by [const] reference only (isn't this already the case? what benefit does the copy constructor bring?!?). I didn't examine the source so maybe it's (a) after all, in which case I apologize for wasting precious time, bandwidth, and disk space. d3fault
