Boost test failures on arm platform
by Carlos Ferreira 13 Oct '16

13 Oct '16

Hello! I'm cross-compiling Boost to an arm platform and because of that, boost fails to execute the cxx11_* tests and then it outputs the information that the compiler does not support a series of cxx11_* capabilities. Is there a way to disable these library tests, when cross-compiling? -- Carlos Miguel Ferreira Researcher at Telecommunications Institute Aveiro - Portugal Work E-mail - cmf(a)av.it.pt Skype & GTalk -> carlosmf.pt(a)gmail.com LinkedIn -> http://www.linkedin.com/in/carlosmferreira

Announcing version 3 of the cxx_dual library
by Edward Diener 12 Oct '16

12 Oct '16

I have created version 3 of the cxx_dual library. version 3 is a large rewrite of the documentation to simplify the use of the library, as well as a change in the directory structure so that the basic usage of the library is through a single header file and the use of a namespace alias, and not through the macro interface. As in: #include <boost/cxx_dual/regex.hpp> void SomeFunction() { cxxd_regex_ns::regex re("A regular expression etc."); bool result(cxxd_regex_ns::regex_match("Some string...",re)); // etc. } What ! No macros ! Actually a few macros still exist for testing which dual library has been chosen and overriding the dual library chosen, but the basic functionality means almost no macros in user code. The library is available at https://github.com/eldiener/cxx_dual.git. What is it ? The Cxx Dual library, or CXXD for short, is a C++ macro header-only library which chooses between using a Boost library or its C++ standard equivalent library for a number of different C++ implementations, while allowing the end-user to use the same code to program either choice. An implementation is a Boost library which has a C++ standard library equivalent whose public interfaces are nearly the same in both cases. An 'implementation' is called a 'mod' for short and each of the possible Boost or C++ standard implementations for that mod are called a 'dual library'. The Cxx Dual library does this by automatically choosing either the Boost library or the C++ standard library for a particular mod, including the correct header file(s) needed for the dual library chosen, and creating a namespace alias for the namespace of the dual library chosen. CXXD also provides a macro-based solution for distinguishing between the Boost version and the C++ standard version of a dual library so that specific code for a particular dual library choice may be written in those cases where the public interfaces diverge.

Issues trying to use boost::unordered_map
by Ram 11 Oct '16

Hi, I am trying to use a boost::unordered_map as a member of my class. The unordered_map is defined as, boost::unordered_map<int, int> a; as a private member in the class. I have included #include "boost/unordered_map.hpp" using namespace boost; This is the compilation error I get, x_objs.cpp c:\codeworks\common\lib\boost\boost\unordered\detail\buckets.hpp(767) : error C2059: syntax error : '(' c:\codeworks\common\lib\boost\boost\unordered\detail\buckets.hpp(766) : while compiling class template member function 'void boost::unordered::detail::functions<H,P>::construct(bool,const H &,const P &)' with [ H=boost::hash<int>, P=std::equal_to<int> ] c:\codeworks\common\lib\boost\boost\unordered\detail\table.hpp(152) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::unordered::detail::functions<H,P>' being compiled with [ H=boost::hash<int>, P=std::equal_to<int> ] c:\codeworks\common\lib\boost\boost\unordered\detail\unique.hpp(179) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::unordered::detail::table<Types>' being compiled with [ Types=boost::unordered::detail::map<std::allocator<std::pair<const int,int>>,int,int,boost::hash<int>,std::equal_to<int>> ] c:\codeworks\common\lib\boost\boost\unordered\unordered_map.hpp(74) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::unordered::detail::table_impl<Types>' being compiled with [ Types=boost::unordered::detail::map<std::allocator<std::pair<const int,int>>,int,int,boost::hash<int>,std::equal_to<int>> ] c:\codeworks\sample_issue.h(276) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::unordered::unordered_map<K,T>' being compiled with [ K=int, T=int ] li_pip.cpp ld_pip.cpp pip.cpp . . .

[fiber] Asio autoecho example crashes (VS 2015 u3)
by DePizzottri 11 Oct '16

11 Oct '16

Hi all, I'm found that asio autoecho example crashes after main's return statement. Debugger shows write access from the fiber scheduler to the already destroed io_service. Substitution reference to io_service: boost::asio::io_service & io_svc_; in round_robin algo to the shared_ptr: boost::shared_ptr<boost::asio::io_service> io_svc_; with approprieate correction of the other code solves the problem. Maybe I misunderstood something in the descrition from documentation? Or its some kind of feature? -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/fiber-Asio-autoecho-example-crashes-VS-2… Sent from the Boost - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [Boost-users] [ASIO] Do coroutines allow serving multiple clients at once?

Thanks, does spawning a coroutine also spawn a new thread? I'd be inclined to think so from what you told me

I would say no. You spawn only one coroutine that calls in the for-loop async. operations of accept(), read() and write() in a sequence. No other client is able to connect to your server, e.g. connect() on the client side returns, until you enter accept() again. In order to serve multiple clients at the same time you need to spawn a coroutine that accepts new connections and for each client request (read()/write() operations) you need to spawn a new coroutine.

[Boost.Filesystem] crashes in static destruction of global string object
by Nguyen Huu Hai 10 Oct '16

10 Oct '16

Hello, libs/filesytem/src/portability.cpp defines valid_posix as a std::string object instead of a const char * pointer. May I know if there are reasons for that? I'm using Boost.Filesystem as a shared library and my processes crash on exit with stack traces pointing to the static destruction of valid_posix. Making it const char* fixes the crashes. Regards, Hai

[ASIO] Do coroutines allow serving multiple clients at once?
by mmarkd9＠libero.it 10 Oct '16

10 Oct '16

I'm using ASIO with coroutines2 to create a ssl echo server. The code I've been experimenting is the following: http://nopaste.linux-dev.org/?1120051 While this is highly readable compared to the asynchronous callbacks version (thanks coroutines), I'd like to know if this code is able to serve multiple clients connecting at the same time to the server. In theory, every time I return control to the io_service object (i.e. I yield in the spawn coroutine) it should take care of whatever connection is pending / buffered / scheduled to be accepted next, right? Is this a reliable way to handle multiple requests? I don't plan on supporting massive workloads (e.g. 500k connections at once) but having some resilience would be nice indeed. Any other thoughts/tips are also warmly welcome.

Epoch to date
by Philippe de Rochambeau 09 Oct '16

Hello, how do you convert an Unix epoch (e.g., 1476015285) to a formatted date string (e.g., 1984-01-01) with Boost? Many thanks. Philippe
