What is wrong building a debug build of boost?
by Hansi 11 Feb '09

11 Feb '09

Hi, Til now I have used the following 2 commands to build the boost library: bjam.exe --toolset=msvc --build-type=debug link=static threading=multi stage --stagedir=. bjam.exe --toolset=msvc --build-type=release link=static threading=multi stage --stagedir=. and it has worked with boost 1.37. With boost 1.38 I don't get anymore the debug builds of the library. What it is wrong with this command? I use 3.1.17 of bjam.exe Thanks for any hint! Regards Hansjörg

Yes, it worked, if I instantiate another object (like graph_h2). After that I have done some more Debug to try to find the reason, but I still don't understand,because inside the constructor it finds the Nodes, when I use the same object (graph_h)... Inside the overloaded operator-> does not work anymore, even I am using the _localGraph in both stretch of codes. So if it was the assignment of the _localGraph, it should not work with the constructor also, isn't true? And the commitChanges, that I told before, it is for replacing this _localGraph in the repository of graphs graphIndex _graphRep; For better explanation, here it is the code: Remark: the Graph_h it will be using referencing count, but since I don't know how yet, it is not implemented. So the Graph_h I use as way of the user handle the Graph, so it has as members: - the iterator of the lookup for the Graph - _localGraph: it is where I can change the Graph, because in the index it is not possible, since their elements are constant - and bool to indicate the creation success /// Graph Handler: Wrapper for manipulating the Graph objects class Graph_h : virtual Handler { private: graphIt _git; Graph _localGraph; bool _createSuccess; public: /// Default Constructor Graph_h() : _createSuccess(false){} /// Constructor with Parameters: for creation of Graphs Graph_h (const pair<graphIt,bool> &creation) : _git(creation.first), _createSuccess(creation.second){ _localGraph = _git->_graph; } ///////////////The below constructor it is where it works,//////////// ///////////////the retrieve of nodes with _localGraph///////////// /// Constructor with Parameters: for lookup of Graphs Graph_h (const graphIt &it) : _git(it), _createSuccess(false){ _localGraph = it->_graph; //#ifndef NDEBUG_DG //Graph_h graph_h; NodeIterator nodeIt; Node_h node_h; //graphIt it = DynamicGraphs::_graphRep.find("COI:0351-123-4555"); //Graph_h //graph_h = Graph_h(it); propertystream_h propS; property_h p_h; propS = _localGraph.lookupLocalProp("name"); p_h = propS.next(); cout << "DEBUG@Graph_hConstructor(it) " << p_h.value() <<endl; nodeIt = _localGraph.nodeIterator("Node:0351-123-4569"); if (!nodeIt) cout << "Node version was not found!"<<endl; else //Works for both: one match and range lookup while (!nodeIt.end()){ node_h = nodeIt.next(); cout << "Found it: " << *node_h; } //#endif //NDEBUG_DG } /// Copy Constructor Graph_h (const Graph_h &h) : _git(h._git), _createSuccess(h._createSuccess){ _localGraph = h._localGraph; } Graph_h& operator=(const Graph_h &h) { _git = h._git; _createSuccess = h._createSuccess; _localGraph = h._git->_graph; return *this; } bool commitChanges(); bool operator!(){ return !_createSuccess; } ///////////////The below operator-> it is where it does not works,////// ///////////////the retrieve of nodes with _localGraph////////////////// /// Operator-> overloading: allows access to graph members Graph* operator->() { //#ifndef NDEBUG_DG //Graph_h graph_h; NodeIterator nodeIt; Node_h node_h; //graphIt it = DynamicGraphs::_graphRep.find("COI:0351-123-4555"); //Graph_h //graph_h = Graph_h(it); propertystream_h propS; property_h p_h; propS = _localGraph.lookupLocalProp("name"); p_h = propS.next(); cout << "DEBUG@Graph::operator-> " << p_h.value() <<endl; nodeIt = _localGraph.nodeIterator("Node:0351-123-4569"); if (!nodeIt) cout << "Node version was not found!"<<endl; else //Works for both: one match and range lookup while (!nodeIt.end()){ node_h = nodeIt.next(); cout << "Found it: " << *node_h; } //#endif //NDEBUG_DG return &_localGraph; } }; Output from these strech of code: The node are not being printed because I am changing some stuff in other part of the code... but the important is that it is found the nodes in the constructor, and in the operator-> the node were not found: Constructor Output and operator-> output: DEBUG@Graph_hConstructor(it) COI:0351-123-4555 Found it: Name: Timestamp: -1080916036 Found it: Name: Timestamp: -1080916036 DEBUG@Graph::operator-> COI:0351-123-4555 Node version was not found!

Oh yes, so it is! With your name on the file I see. I prefer exists to any, but OTOH I can see the symetry with none, so maybe your version is best. When is this likely to emerge from the shadows? Also, I see you have range versions too - does this need the RangeEx stuff to be in Boost too? Do you think your algorithms should have Boost concept checks on their template parameters?

for_each_until like algorithm
by Peter Barker 11 Feb '09

11 Feb '09

Hi, I just wondered if there was already an algorithm (or way to compose one) in Boost that would allow me to iterate over a container of pointers to objects calling a function on each one and completing when one of them returned a particular value? For example, I have a master/child relationship and the master has a method called shouldCalculate(). Whether this returns true is partly dependent on what the children return for their shouldCalculate() method. So I'd like to say something like this: bool Master::shouldCalculate() { // Look at data at the master level to see if it's stale. If it is, return true. // See if any of the children should calculate bool staleChildren = boost::for_each_until(children_.begin(),children_.end(), boost::bind(&Child::shouldCalculate,_1),until_true_returned); return staleChildren; } Regards, Pete

Boost:Signals and Bind question
by mararual 11 Feb '09

11 Feb '09

Hi Everyone, I have a question on using Signals with a COM server and a client. Is it possible to have a signal on a COM server and a method ConnectSlot(clientMethod) that can be called from a client? I want to have a COM server that when some update is done, notifies all of the slots(subscribers), so that from the clients I can do: helloService->ConnectSlot(boost::bind(&Callback)); where callback is a method in the client. On the server side I have: STDMETHODIMP CHelloService::ConnectSlot(VARIANT aSubscriber) { connect(aSubscriber); //connect(boost::bind(aSubscriber)); return S_OK; } CHelloService::connection_t CHelloService::connect(signal_t::slot_function_type subscriber) { return m_sig.connect(subscriber); } Don't know how to receive the result of Boost::bind from the client. I read Bind supports COM by adding #define BOOST_MEM_FN_ENABLE_STDCALL before the include of bind.hpp. What would you recommend for this approach? Any examples?

I think that will be a little hard to do, let's first try these steps below first, maybe you can figure out what it is, because I'm not understanding what could be, since it seems to work inside the function and outside doesn't, and as it is a static data member... > 2. If the answer to 1 is no, can you post the debug console output of > your program? The output of this part of the code (I will mark the part inside the function commitChanges();: ///////////begin commitChanges();///////////////////////////// DEBUG@commitChanges:before replacing:_git Name: COI:0351-123-4555 Node version was not found!

Retrieving the graph with commit: Node version was not found! - As you can see, inside before replacing, it did not find the nodes inserted, as expected. - Then after replacing it found the nodes inserted (as expected). - But then after goes out of the function, as you can see, no nodes was found it... they shouldn't be there?

Still got positive results for both checks? Yes. I've added twice before the replace and after, the result is the same (as expected) and still I don't understand why does not work outside...

Constructing an error code based on the last error?
by Zachary Turner 10 Feb '09

10 Feb '09

Does boost provide a portable way to create a system::error_code object based on the last error? I don't see an obvious way to do this via the documentation unless I'm just overlooking it. There's lots of ways to create uninitialized error code objects, or error code objects initialized to a specific value, but I don't see an obvious portable way of determining "why the last operation failed". Anyone encountered this before?

[asio] Clients (try to) connect only once
by Jens Weller 10 Feb '09

10 Feb '09

Hi I am writing on a an app, that has clients, which connect, and get events/updates send. Now, it works almost, but still, I got one problem I couldn't solve sofar: My Client only connects or tries to connect once. If the server isn't running, I have to restart the app, to be able to try again. I do get a connection event at the server, but the client seems not to respond to the send data afterwards. I am not sure, if it might be a threading issue, but i think that calling join() should do the job. My Code: void ZMSRClientFrame::OnConnect(wxCommandEvent& event) { // the behavoir happens also with out those 2 ifs (just tried to check that) if(inputhandler) { inputhandler->close(); } if(t) { t->join(); t.reset(); } try{ boost::asio::ip::tcp::resolver resolver(ios); boost::asio::ip::tcp::resolver::query query("127.0.0.1", "3210"); boost::asio::ip::tcp::resolver::iterator iterator = resolver.resolve(query); //InputHandler in(ios,iterator); inputhandler = boost::shared_ptr<InputHandler>(new InputHandler(this,ios,iterator)); //ios.run(); //starting ioservice thread t = boost::shared_ptr<boost::thread>(new boost::thread(boost::bind(&boost::asio::io_service::run, &ios))); } catch(std::exception& e) { wxMessageBox(e.what()); //inputhandler.reset(); } catch(...) {wxMessageBox("could not connect"); //inputhandler.reset(); } } Inputhandler calls async_connect which returns to one of its members. Which works through the first run. How to solve this? regards Jens Weller -- Jetzt 1 Monat kostenlos!
