boost test: How to make boost test a friend ?
by Avi Bahra 01 Mar '10

01 Mar '10

I am looking into boost test. I dont not want to expose some member functions as public. However I need to access them for testing, is there any way making boost test a friend of this class ? Any help appreciated. Best regards, Ta, Avi

asio guidance
by Paul Dugas 28 Feb '10

28 Feb '10

I'm writing code to implement an existing communication protocol that uses a packet with a fixed header and variable payload (depending on a header field). I started using a previously recorded file and fstream::read() calls; i.e. read(buf,1) looking for the start-of-packet, read(buf, HEADER_LEN), extract the payload size and read the remainder. I am now looking to hook up the receiver logic to the actual gear and need to handle timeouts and such. I'm new to asio but it looks like what I may need given that I have to support device connections via serial ports and sockets but I also need to retain the ability to read from files. I'm wondering if anyone could suggest an approach to support all three comm schemes with the same packet reception logic. The idea would be for the receive routine to return message pointers or throw on timeouts or partial packets Paul

[lambda]
by Marcin Zalewski 28 Feb '10

28 Feb '10

I am trying to use lambda's constructor [1] with fusion's fused [2]. Fused requires that the function object passed to it has a following valid expression: boost::result_of< F(T1 ...TN) >::type Unfortunately, constructor does not support result_of. Its implementation contains the following piece of code: template <class U> struct sig { typedef T type; }; This happens to be exactly what's necessary for constructor to support result_of, but sig would have to be renamed to result. I guess I do not really have a question here but rather a request to make constructor compatible with result_of. There seems to be no reason not to do it, and I could not figure out a much nicer way to construct objects with fusion sequences than combining lambda's constructor and fusion's fused. It comes so close, but if only sig was result...

Problems with property_maps
by Trevin Murakami 28 Feb '10

28 Feb '10

Hello all. I'm having issues getting property maps to work properly with my custom adjacency_list. Here's a snippet of the code: // Definitions // define some of the properties the graphs will have // http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/libs/graph/doc/using_adjacency_list.ht… struct posx_t { typedef vertex_property_tag kind; }; struct posy_t { typedef vertex_property_tag kind; }; typedef property<posx_t, int> VertexPosX; // chain to add in posy typedef property<posy_t, int, VertexPosX> VertexPos; // chain to add in vertex_index typedef property<vertex_index_t, int, VertexPos> VertexProperty; // define our special graph typedef adjacency_list<listS, listS, undirectedS, VertexProperty, property<edge_weight_t, int> > AGraph; ... template<class T> void boostToVAGraph(const AGraph & g, const int num_nodes, const int num_edges, T ** idata, T ** odata, unsigned int ** segment_descriptor, unsigned int ** cross_pointers, unsigned int ** head_flags, T ** reference, const testrigOptions & testOptions) { typedef AGraph Graph; // define the manipulator for our special properties // http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/libs/graph/doc/using_adjacency_list.ht… // requires property_map.hpp // BROKEN!!!!! property_map<AGraph, posx_t>::type getposx = get(posx_t(), g); property_map<AGraph, posy_t>::type getposy = get(posy_t(), g); ... I used another function to generate the AGraph and apply values. And using property map there seems to work. However, I then pass it to this function using: boostToVAGraph(g, num_nodes, num_edges, idata, odata, segment_descriptor, cross_pointers, head_flags, reference, testOptions); On compile, I get this error: 1>agraph.cpp 1>c:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data/NVIDIA Corporation/NVIDIA GPU Computing SDK/C/src/test/agraph.cpp(94) : error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'boost::adj_list_vertex_property_map<Graph,ValueType,Reference,Tag>' to 'boost::adj_list_vertex_property_map<Graph,ValueType,Reference,Tag>' 1> with 1> [ 1> Graph=AGraph, 1> ValueType=int, 1> Reference=const int &, 1> Tag=posx_t 1> ] 1> and 1> [ 1> Graph=AGraph, 1> ValueType=int, 1> Reference=int &, 1> Tag=posx_t 1> ] 1> No constructor could take the source type, or constructor overload resolution was ambiguous Ideas? -Trevin "new to Boost" Murakami

[TR1] Using Boost.TR1 installed in /usr/include with GCC
by Anthony Foglia 28 Feb '10

28 Feb '10

We're running into problems compiling the boost math library with GCC's TR1. The problem comes from Boost.TR1, and I believe the #include_next preprocessor directive. We are using the Ubuntu packages for g++ and for Boost 1.40 which installs the headers in /usr/include/boost. Here's a simple example which fails to compile: ---- #define BOOST_HAS_TR1_TUPLE 1 #include <boost/tr1/tuple.hpp> int main() { return 0; } ---- $ g++ -I/usr/include -c -o tr1_test.o tr1_test.cpp In file included from tr1_test.cpp:2: /usr/include/boost/tr1/tuple.hpp:13:43: error: no include path in which to search for tr1/tuple ---- From the docs, defining BOOST_TR1_DISABLE_INCLUDE_NEXT should work, but does not. I have tried inserting the following lines before the #include, to no effect. #define BOOST_TR1_DISABLE_INCLUDE_NEXT #define BOOST_TR1_GCC_INCLUDE_PATH /usr/include/c++/4.4 The only workaround I could find is to explicitly include boost/tr1/detail/config.hpp and undef BOOST_HAS_INCLUDE_NEXT. Am I missing something in the documentation? What is the proper solution? PS: I see a similar problem mentioned over a year ago: <http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2008/12/146552.php>. But would the changes mentioned have been included in 1.40? I see no obvious changes between trunk and 1.40 for the tuple and config headers, though I haven't diffed them. -- Anthony Foglia Princeton Consultants (609) 987-8787 x233

Re: [Boost-users] TR1 unordered_set: compilation failure with initialization
by Aman Sinha 28 Feb '10

28 Feb '10

I want to pass in my own hash functor and comparator to an unordered_set initialization. It fails compilation on g++ 4.2.1, boost version 1.42. It's not clear why, since a similar initialization of an STL set container seems to work fine... see below for the code and compilation failure.

complexity problem using multi_index insert()
by Andrew Kokkalis 28 Feb '10

28 Feb '10

Hello, this is my third e-mail regarding multi_index containers. I'm using them for the process of clustering a huge amount of data (posts from an aple blog from the last 4-5 years) I'm counting Euclidean distance between two clusters, which I store in a multi_index container like the above *typedef multi_index_container< cluster_d, indexed_by< ordered_unique< tag<cluster_pair>, composite_key< cluster_d, BOOST_MULTI_INDEX_MEMBER(cluster_d, int, cluster1), BOOST_MULTI_INDEX_MEMBER(cluster_d, int, cluster2)> >, ordered_non_unique< tag<cluster_distance>, BOOST_MULTI_INDEX_MEMBER(cluster_d, float, distance)> > > cluster_index;* My problem is that I have to count 9500! (! = factorial) distances, and store them in the multi_index container. The process of counting distances is costing me 13minutes ( that is because the dimension of each of the two vectors is nearly 1000 or more for which i have to access STL's maps). Another 9 minutes takes the insertion using "std::pair<iterator,bool> insert(const value_type& x);". I would like to know if there is another way to do faster insertion. I've seen you use mailing list for much complicated problems, and I'm sorry for being a noob.But since i chose to use boost I'd like to stick with that, so I'm kindly asking for your help! Thank you in advance Andrew Kokkalis

[units] conversion_factor in the two directions
by alfC 28 Feb '10

28 Feb '10

Hi, I managed to make CONVERSION_FACTOR definitions to work between to unit systems (atomic and SI). I definied atomic system by following the si example. I can manage to transform lengths (probably because they are base dimensions in both systems, but when I try to do the same for energies (that is a base_dimension only in the atomic system) I can't compile the line with the declaration "en3". The first question is why the first ...CONVERSION_FACTOR doesn't work in the two directions (as it did for lengths). second, why the second ...CONVERSION_FACTOR doesn't help to compile en3. BOOST_UNITS_DEFINE_CONVERSION_FACTOR( atomic::hartree_energy_base_unit, si::energy, double, 4.359744e-18 ); //compiles but doesn't help for en3 BOOST_UNITS_DEFINE_CONVERSION_FACTOR( si::energy, atomic::hartree_energy_base_unit, double, 1./4.359744e-18 ); int main(){ quantity<si::length> l1(1.*si::meter); //works quantity<si::length> l2(1.*atomic::bohr); //works quantity<atomic::length> l3(1.*atomic::bohr); //works quantity<atomic::length> l4(1.*si::meter); //works quantity<si::energy> en1(1.*si::joules); //works quantity<si::energy> en2(1.*atomic::hartree); //works quantity<atomic::energy> en3(1.*atomic::hartree); //work quantity<atomic::energy> en4(1.*si::joules); //does not work, compilation error return 0; } Thank you, Alfredo

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE_EXPECTED_FAILURES and BOOST_FAIL
by Rhys Ulerich 27 Feb '10

27 Feb '10

Is there a way to flag that a Boost.Test auto test case is expected to utterly fail per BOOST_FAIL? BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE_EXPECTED_FAILURES does not seem to handle this use case correctly. Running Boost.Test 1.42's example 22 [1] returns EXIT_SUCCESS to the operating system. When I replace BOOST_CHECK with BOOST_FAIL within the sample's my_test1 test case the binary returns EXIT_FAILURE to the OS. I have attached the modified version. I see the same behavior for BOOST_REQUIRE_MESSAGE(false,...). The question arises because I'm using BOOST_FAIL within an error handling callback that I provide to a library. When the library issues the callback, all hope is lost and I need to unwind the test case to continue sanely. Thanks, Rhys [1] http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/libs/test/doc/html/utf/user-guide/test…

[filesystem] Using basic_path in char-type generic code
by Adam Badura 27 Feb '10

27 Feb '10

I have a char-type generic function (character type is template argument). I use only char and wchar_t character types with this function and I don't care for other character types. I wanted to use basic_path in that function so that I will get either path or wpath depending on the template argument. But I failed to do that since basic_path has second template argument (Traits) which - as opposed to basic_string - does not default to anything. Even more, there is no (or at least documentation does not mention that) default path_traits template which could be parametrized with the desired character type. Why is it so? How to overcome it (otherwise then writing my own auxiliary type selector)? (I am using version boost 1.39 and will - hopefully, if it will correct compilation errors - switch to 1.43 when it will be released.) Adam Badura

1.39 serialisation: buggy warning message for shared_ptr
by Avi Bahra 27 Feb '10

27 Feb '10

When I want to serialise a vector of shared ptrs to concrete types, there are no warnings on gcc/Linux. and program runs correctly. However when I compile on HP-UX, I get the following: .../boost_1_39_0/boost/serialization/export.hpp", line 137: warning #2414-D: delete of pointer to incomplete class BOOST_STATIC_WARNING(boost::is_polymorphic<T>::value); .... It appears that boost shared ptr serialisation has made the assumption that the pointer must be polymorphic! Is this assumption correct ? i.e are we allowed to serialize shared ptrs to concrete types ? To get rid of the message I simply add a virtual member function. It appears in this case that HPUX compiler is more accurate, and I don't understand why this same warning does not appear with gcc. Best regards, Ta, Avi

With the flag, boost_python passes all tests I have done. I spent some time trying to understand how to tell bjam to add a flag to the boost_python link line, but I gave up after about fifteen minutes. With the CMake build of boost, it was easy: I simply did cmake -DCMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS="-dynamic" Overall, I found dealing with the cmake build of boost so much more pleasant than dealing with bjam that I don't understand why the CMake build hasn't taken over the mainstream yet. --Jim Amundson P.S.

Static link boost library using arm compiler
by Carlos 26 Feb '10

26 Feb '10

Hi I'm some weeks trying to resolve a problem in static linking a boost library. The compiler finds the library but it says that it is incompatible. I already try to compile boost again with arm compiler, use boost 1_33_1 and boost_1_42_0 but with no results. I think it's missing something but I can't find what. ./configure -host=arm-eabi CC=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc CXX=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++ CXXFLAGS=-static --with-boost=/usr/local/boost_1_42_0/ configure: WARNING: If you wanted to set the --build type, don't use --host.

Hello, I'm wondering what's the easiest way to enable call forwarding by a variant to contained function objects accepting the same arguments? I.e., variant< F, G > m_funcs; m_funcs = f; m_funcs( a, b, c ); m_funcs = g; m_funcs( a, b, c ); Thanks, Cheers, Rutger

Some questions about using BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_KEY macro of boost.serialization library
by ZouLei 26 Feb '10

26 Feb '10

Dear all , The library version I used was boost_1_42, and the IDE was VS2008 . When I attempt to use the BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_KEY macro, I met some problems. In my word, I think it doesn't work as expected . My project files are listed following (just five tiny files) : // Base.h #ifndef _BASE_H #define _BASE_H #include <boost/serialization/access.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/export.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/type_info_implementation.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/extended_type_info_no_rtti.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/base_object.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/shared_ptr.hpp> class Base { public: Base() ; Base(int a) ; virtual ~Base(); private: friend class boost::serialization::access ; template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive& ar, const unsigned int version) { ar & a_ ; } private: int a_ ; }; BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_KEY(Base) BOOST_SERIALIZATION_SHARED_PTR(Base) #endif //_BASE_H // Base.cpp #include "Base.h" Base::Base(): a_(0){ } Base::Base( int a ): a_(a){ } Base::~Base(){ } BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_IMPLEMENT(Base) //Derived.h #ifndef _DERIVED_H #define _DERIVED_H #include "base.h" class Derived : public Base { public: Derived(); Derived(int a, int b); ~Derived(); private: friend class boost::serialization::access ; template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive& ar, const unsigned int version) { ar & boost::serialization::base_object<Base>(*this) ; ar & b_ ; } private: int b_ ; }; BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_KEY(Derived) BOOST_SERIALIZATION_SHARED_PTR(Derived) #endif // _DERIVED_H // Drived.cpp #include "StdAfx.h" #include "Derived.h" Derived::Derived(): b_(0){ } Derived::Derived( int a, int b ): Base(a), b_(b){ } Derived::~Derived(){ } BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_IMPLEMENT(Derived) // main.cpp #include <fstream> #include <iostream> #include <boost/archive/text_oarchive.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/shared_ptr.hpp> #include "Derived.h" int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { boost::shared_ptr<Base> base_ptr(new Derived(10,15)) ; std::ofstream ofs("test.txt") ; boost::archive::text_oarchive oa(ofs) ; oa << base_ptr ; return 0; } There are no errors in compile-time. But when I executed the program, a memory error caused ! I don't know what is wrong about my program. Whether my usage of BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_KEY/BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_IMPLEMENT was wrong ? And, how can I fix the problems ? Thanks, and with my best wishes. Lei

[Statechart] Question regarding state_machine event handling
by Arne Babnik 26 Feb '10

26 Feb '10

Hi, I'm currently working with the the statechart library in version 1.42.0 and have some difficulties with the way the simple state_machine processes its events. For my work I need several independent state machines, which communicate with each other using process_event/post_event. For various reasons I do not want to use the asynchroneous_state_machine - mostly because my application is built around a global event/message handler and I do not want to use multiple threads with their necessary synchronization. It basically works because in my hierarchy state_machine<>::process_event() is called only in one direction, while in the "opposite" direction (or if unsure) state_machine<>::post_event() is being used. E.g. A calls B->process_event(), B calls C->process_event(), but C calls B->post_event() and B calls A->post_event(). This works so far, and since the process_event() function also processes events posted from within its execution context I do not see any problems with this. However, what I could really make use of are two functions: a) a query function to check if there are any events in the state machine queue (if additional post_event() calls have been made outside the process_event() context); and b) a process_event() function that does not need an event argument, but only processes the queue. Currently I use a "dummy" event for this, but this is rather ugly. Does anybody know why such functions are not available? For b) there is a function named "process_queued_events()" that does exactly what I need, but unfortunately this function is declared private.For a), a simple "eventQueue_.empty()" wrapper would suffice. An even bigger problem for me is that process_event() executes the event argument _first_. I'm rather used to state machines that process their events in-order regardless of the way they got queued up, so I had expected that process_event() first executes the events already in the queue before processing the given event (in other words, the given event argument is only put to the end of the queue initially, and then the queue is processed). Any ideas why the state machine works this way? What is the rationale for this behaviour? Thanks, Arne

Multiple key types map
by Michele Caini 26 Feb '10

26 Feb '10

Hi all, I'm looking for a map that has no matter about key types, so I can use such map storing int indexed objects and also, i.e., char indexed objects, as all-in-one container. It can be useful to have such type of key-type unaware containers, as we can find with other languages. What about existing one?

[program_options] allow_guessing issue
by Filip Konvička 26 Feb '10

26 Feb '10

Hi, I've just upgraded to boost 1.42 from 1.40, and it seems that the new feature 'allow_guessing', a default setting, breaks my existing code. I have two options: "lang" and "lang-dir", the first obviously a prefix of the other, and when my program is run with "--lang=en_US --lang-dir=.", the first argument is interpreted as "lang-dir". Even though the documentation says somewhere that one argument should not be a prefix of another with 'allow_guessing' on, this is a breaking change and should be put in a big red box somewhere on the front page :-) If the change is intended to be kept for the future, it would be wise to detect the problem by examining the options, rather than wait until another problem occurs (in my case, the runtime exception is 'multiple_options' when the user uses both options, and - much worse! - the option gets misinterpreted without a warning if he only uses the shorter option). Cheers, Filip

[fusion] Introspection of fused objects?
by Rutger ter Borg 26 Feb '10

26 Feb '10

Suppose I have a function object created on the basis of a sequence of fused function objects, where I would like to do shuffle the call order on the basis of some criterion. template< typename SeqOfFused > struct merge_fused { merge_fused( SeqOfFused f ): m_functions( f ) {} typedef void result_type; template< int N, typename Seq > void operator()( Seq& seq ) { // normal dispatch call would be fusion::at_c<N>(m_functions)( seq ); if ( some case ) { store seq for later use } else { call appropriate fused object with parts of stored stuff } } SeqofFused m_functions; // some state / memory specific to this group of fused objects some_state m_state; }; I'm doing a static cast to a superclass to get rid of the int N template parameter, to make the merge_fused look exactly like a fused function object. This works fine. Storing stuff is what my question is about: is there any way to know the type of Seq from its Fused counterpart? Looking at the code, the answer is no, but perhaps there exists introspection code in fusion which I am unaware of? One solution would be to simply use static casting based on Seq in operator(), but then my question would be: is that safe? Thanks, Rutger

Strange iterator_traits of iterator_facade
by Swerts, Benjamin 26 Feb '10

26 Feb '10

Hello all, I have a class that is templated on an iterator type. As it only works with bidirectional and random access iterators, I thought I would impose that as follows: template<typename T> class A { A() { checkIterator(std::iterator_traits<T>::iterator_category()); }; template<typename Tag> void checkIterator( Tag ); void checkIterator( std::bidirectional_iterator_tag ) {}; void checkIterator( std::random_access_iterator_tag ) {}; void checkIterator( boost::random_access_traversal_tag ) {}; }; This works when T is a standard iterator but not when it's one of my iterator_facade subclasses. For example: class const_iterator : public iterator_facade<const_iterator, const B, boost::random_access_traversal_tag, B> When using this class with A<const_iterator> I get a linker error because the checkIterator function is called with: boost::detail::iterator_category_with_traversal<struct std::input_iterator_tag,struct boost::random_access_traversal_tag> I certainly cannot add a specialization of checkIterator with this tag to class A. Could anyone shed some light on this problem? I'm working with Boost 1.39.0 on MSVC2008SP1. Thanks a lot in advance! Greets, Ben

[boost-users][filesystem] some missing function
by Sascha Ochsenknecht 26 Feb '10

26 Feb '10

Hi, in Boost.Filesystem I can find a function: template <class Path> std::time_t last_write_time(const Path& p); which is corresponding to st_mtime (last modification time) of the stat structure. Within the stat structure, their are also st_atime and st_ctime defined, but there are no corresponding functions. Is there a special reason for that? Maybe not portabel? Couldn't they be added? E.g. template <class Path> std::time_t last_access_time(const Path& p); template <class Path> std::time_t last_status_change_time(const Path& p); Cheers, Sascha

understanding Xcode and Boost

Hello, Thanks to Igor R for helping me get started with the compilation problems of the regex test program at http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.htm… Xcode. I renamed all id occurrences to idd in the regex headers, but still get errors. Also, I don't understand why this is necessary for Xcode but not using the command line compilation suggested in the getting started guide. Is Xcode generally more problematic when using libraries like Boost or GSL? Is there a better recommended development environment than Xcode, or is it simple once the error is tracked down? Thanks again for any input.

Boost.ASIO "deasynchronisation"
by Igore Dmit. 26 Feb '10

26 Feb '10

Hello, I'm developing networking library that provides RTMP-like networking using Boost.ASIO library. My problem is that any synchronous-access function breaks into many little functions that do some part of job and invoke async operation with "next" function as a handler, it makes the code really ugly and obfuscating. E.g. void hadshake that reads N bytes from peer, responds with those bytes + same count of other bytes, reads N bytes back and checks that they are the same. It breaks into: void start_handshake_wait(); void handle_handshake_wait(const boost::system::error_code&, std::size_t, buffer_ptr &); void handle_handshake_wait_write_dup(..same as above..); void handle_handshake_wait_write_mine(...); void handle_handshake_wait_read_mine_check(...); Every function uses boost::bind, so for some quite simple operation a lot of code is produced. Receiving a chunk of data breaks into: void read_header_head(); // header size depends on first byte void parse_header_head(); void parse_header_body(); void parse_chunk_body(); The only idea I came to is to use some tricks like coroutines. (Sorry for big listings) template<class T> class Context : public boost::enable_shared_from_this< Context<T> > { public: typedef boost::shared_ptr<Context<T> > ptr; private: typedef boost::shared_ptr<T> objptr_t; typedef void (T::*funcptr_t) (const BSYSECode&, std::size_t, Context<T>::ptr, buffer_ptr); objptr_t objptr_; funcptr_t funcptr_; public: std::map< std::string, buffer_ptr > buffers; int state; Context(objptr_t op, funcptr_t fp) : objptr_(op), funcptr_(fp), buffers(), state(0) { } template<typename AsyncReadStream> void async_read(AsyncReadStream &s, buffer_ptr buf) { boost::asio::async_read(s, *buf, boost::bind(funcptr_, objptr_, BASIOPErr, BASIOPBytes, this->shared_from_this(), buf)); } template<typename AsyncWriteStream> void async_write(AsyncWriteStream &s, buffer_ptr buf) { boost::asio::async_write(s, *buf, boost::bind(funcptr_, objptr_, BASIOPErr, BASIOPBytes, this->shared_from_this(), buf)); } }; #define CTX_PROLOG(c) \ if(!c) \ return; \ \ if(c->state == 0) { \ #define CTX_READ(c, s, b) \ c->state=__LINE__; \ c->async_read(s, b); \ return; \ } else if(c->state == __LINE__) { \ #define CTX_WRITE(c, s, b) \ c->state=__LINE__; \ c->async_write(s, b); \ return; \ } else if(c->state == __LINE__) { \ #define CTX_EPILOG \ } buffer_ptr is actually a shared_ptr to buffer, it's used to get buffer back to pool as it goes out of scope. With all this handshake becomes something more readable (to me, but it still cryptic; again, sorry for posting that much): class Handshaker : public boost::enable_shared_from_this<Handshaker> { private: Connection::ptr conn_; public: typedef boost::shared_ptr<Handshaker> ptr; typedef Context<Handshaker> context; Handshaker(Connection::ptr conn) : conn_(conn) { } void shake() { context::ptr ctx(new context(shared_from_this(), &Handshaker::perform)); perform(BSYSECode(), 0, ctx, buffer_ptr()); } private: void perform(const BSYSECode& err, std::size_t sz, context::ptr ctx, buffer_ptr buf) { if(err) return; CTX_PROLOG(ctx); CTX_READ(ctx, conn_->socket(), conn_->pool()->allocate(HandshakeSize)); CTX_WRITE(ctx, conn_->socket(), buf); ctx->buffers["mybuf"] = conn_->pool()->allocate(HandshakeSize); CTX_WRITE(ctx, conn_->socket(), ctx->buffers["mybuf"]); CTX_READ(ctx, conn_->socket(), conn_->pool()->allocate(HandshakeSize)); buffer_ptr mybuf = ctx->buffers["mybuf"]; buffer_ptr hisbuf = buf; if(boost::asio::buffer_size(*mybuf) != boost::asio::buffer_size(*hisbuf)) return; if(memcmp( boost::asio::buffer_cast<void*>(*mybuf), boost::asio::buffer_cast<void*>(*hisbuf), boost::asio::buffer_size(*mybuf) )) return; CTX_EPILOG; } }; Finally, the question: is there any library that provides functionality like that? I'd like to stick with it cause it looks like my implementation is really bad, HUGE bunch of limitations on code written that way, cryptic look, usage of macro, any local variable has to resort in ctx to survive async call.

[graph] parallel named graph and redistribute
by Andreas Zilian 26 Feb '10

26 Feb '10

Hello boost.graph users, I would like to use the PBGL with named vertices and later redistribute the graph. Unfortunately, I cannot compile the attached code, which - following the documentation - should work, since redistribute() just needs a property_map containing the new rank id's. A minimal example is shown below and a more verbose in the attachment. The example on redistribution in the tests of course works, but uses no named vertices. Are there any users of the parallel BGL who managed to solve this issue? And how? Moreover, could the new (serial) labeled_graph be an option? Thank you very much, Andreas #include <boost/graph/use_mpi.hpp> #include <boost/graph/distributed/adjacency_list.hpp> #include <boost/graph/distributed/mpi_process_group.hpp> using namespace boost; using boost::graph::distributed::mpi_process_group; //----------------------------------------------------------------------------- struct Topo { friend class boost::serialization::access; template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version) { ar & user_id & rank_id ; } Topo( int uid=0, int rid=-1 ) : user_id(uid), rank_id(rid) {} int user_id; int rank_id; friend std::ostream& operator<< (std::ostream& o, const Topo& t) { o << "uid = " << t.user_id << ", rid = " << t.rank_id; return o; } }; //----------------------------------------------------------------------------- // named vertices in a graph namespace boost { namespace graph { template<> struct internal_vertex_name< Topo > { typedef multi_index::member< Topo, int, &Topo::user_id > type; }; template<> struct internal_vertex_constructor< Topo > { typedef vertex_from_name< Topo > type; }; }} typedef adjacency_list< vecS, distributedS< mpi_process_group, vecS >, directedS, Topo > Graph; int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { boost::mpi::environment env(argc,argv); Graph g; property_map< Graph, int Topo::*>::type rid_map = get(&Topo::rank_id, g); g.redistribute( rid_map ); return 0; }

io_service run thread exits on network disconnect (chat server example)
by A.Agrawal＠patrick.com.au 26 Feb '10

26 Feb '10

Hello, My code is similar to the one in chat_server example in boost documentation. In my program I use boost asio to communicate with server. Client has following code to connect to the server: Class Members: class DJClient { tcp::socket *_socket; boost::asio::io_service io_service; boost::thread *t; ............................MORE........................................... } void DJClient::Connect() //To Connect to the server { tcp::resolver resolver(io_service); tcp::resolver::query query("10.21.7.5", "50000"); tcp::resolver::iterator endpoint_iterator = resolver.resolve(query); _socket = new tcp::socket(io_service); tcp::endpoint endpoint = *endpoint_iterator; _socket->async_connect(endpoint, boost::bind(&DJClient::handle_connect, this, boost::asio::placeholders::error, ++endpoint_iterator)); t = new boost::thread(boost::bind(&boost::asio::io_service::run, &io_service)); return; } //Callback function after connection has been attempted, also reads data asynchronously from the server void DJClient::handle_connect(const boost::system::error_code& error, tcp::resolver::iterator endpoint_iterator) { if (!error) { boost::asio::async_read(*_socket, boost::asio::buffer(_inbound_data_length), boost::bind(&DJClient::handle_read_data_length, this, boost::asio::placeholders::error)); } else if (endpoint_iterator != tcp::resolver::iterator()) { _socket->close(); tcp::endpoint endpoint = *endpoint_iterator; _socket->async_connect(endpoint, boost::bind(&DJClient::handle_connect, this, boost::asio::placeholders::error, ++endpoint_iterator)); } } Client writes to the server using the following code, this happens in the main thread (the one that called Connect), asynchronously void DJClient::GetAllWIs(const char* oow_id) { io_service.post(boost::bind(&DJClient::write_wis_for_oow_req, this, oow_id)); } void DJClient::write_wis_for_oow_req(const char* oow_id) { boost::asio::async_write(*_socket, oow_id, boost::bind(&DJClient::handle_write, this, boost::asio::placeholders::error)); } Everything works fine without any problem until network cable is unplugged. After network cable is unplugged, a call to GetAllWI does not call write_wis_for_oow_req. I can see an exit thread message in Visual Studio output window. I suspect that io_service::run exits and io_service is no longer valid and that is why it does not call the method. My program needs to handle this scenario and Client should be able to detect network problem and reconnect. 1. It would be great help if someone can suggest a way to handle this scenario. Is there a way to know this io_service::run has exited. 2. I can see in watch window that io_service._impl.stopped changes its value from 0 to 1. But I do not know how to access it programmatically. Any response will be greatly appreciated as I am not very experience in using boost. Thanks in advance Anil Agrawal Patrick Technology & Systems

[boost-program-options] Minor documentation bug
by mmocny 26 Feb '10

26 Feb '10

To whom it may concern, The last code example in the section "Option Details" on page http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/doc/html/program_options/tutorial.html, the line: $bin/gcc/debug/options_description ...should be bold, to match the rest of the syntax. I found the example confusing until I properly parsed what was meant to be written. Might I also suggest a space after the $ or even* "shell> command" * -Michal Mocny

[boost-users][array] Passing by reference
by Ryan McConnehey 26 Feb '10

26 Feb '10

I'm wanting to pass a boost::array by reference to a function. Normally, this isn't a problem. My first approach yielded a compiler error stating boost::array needs template parameters. When adding the template parameters (approach 2) the compiler then states boost::array needs T to be a compile time constant. I want the function to be able to take different boost::array sizes. Can boost::array be passed by reference without knowing the size of the array at compile time? Any help would be great. Ryan Approach 1 void extract (boost::array & var) {} Approach 2 template<typename T, typename S> void extract (boost::array<T, S> & var) {}

Boost.Serialization warning C4540 on MSVC
by Antti Alho 26 Feb '10

26 Feb '10

Hi, I'm using Boost.Serialization for my project and have run into a cryptic warning message. Although it doesn't seem to actually do any harm on run-time I would like to know what it means, and possibly how I can fix it without #pragma disabling it. The relevant code and the entire warning can be found here: Codepad paste <http://codepad.org/MVx2O6dC> The error message was produced by Visual Studio 2008. Since I'm not perfectly sure what the correct syntax is supposed to be regarding lines 74 and 75 when dealing with classes using multiple inheritance and since I couldn't find documentation regarding the subject those could very well be the source of my problems (although it seems to do what it is expected to do). All help greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

[program_options][1.35] validating string value

Hi, My option (say, "opt1") can take any of only few possible string type values (say, "value1", "value2", "value3" and "value4"). Is there anyway to specify this such that if any other value, say - "valueXX", is passed to "opt1", it throws an error? If yes, can someone point me to documentation or sample code snippet to show how to do this? Or, explicitly, checking against these possible values is my only option?

Combing 2 memory pools
by Michael Kennard 26 Feb '10

26 Feb '10

Short version: I'm using the boost pool library for allocation of a linked list of small objects. Now I want to append one linked list onto the end of another. Thus I also want to combine the memory pools. I don't see this functionality in the interface documentation. Is there a way to easily combine two memory pools? Longer version: The list is a member of a class which manages it and has methods for creating and deleting list elements. The memory pool is also a member of this class. Before using the memory pool, each list element was allocated individually and deleted individually. With the pool, deletion is easier because you just destroy the pool instead of deleting each list element individually. Merging two lists together before I used the pool was just a matter of appending one linked list onto the end of the other (easy, and code not shown). But now that I'm using the pool I've got to figure out how to merge the two pools into one. Here's a simplified version of the code (which I haven't tried to compile): struct element { int m_data; element* m_next; }; class MyList { public: MyList(); // constructor void NewElement (int data) { element* new_element = static_cast<element*>(m_pool.malloc()); new_element->m_data = data; // add to beginning of list new_element->next = m_list; m_list = new_element; } element* m_list; boost::pool m_pool; }; -- Michael Kennard Aquaveo (www.aquaveo.com)

fusion Transformation function passed to transform
by Hicham Mouline 26 Feb '10

26 Feb '10

Hello, The transformation function to pass to fusion::transform() function and metafunction are hard to get right, in particular the embedded inner result struct because of the fact that the template argument of result is a "function signature" There is only the 1 simple example in libs/fusion/doc/html/fusion/algorithm/transformation/metafunctions/transform.html I for one would love to see another example where the fusion vector has different types, and where the result of transformation function depends on each type of the sequence transform is applied on. In the meantime, I am writing something like this: struct extract_rule { template <typename Signature> struct result; //// primary template template <typename Holder> struct result< extract_rule(const Holder) > { //// is this always a specialization of the primary? typedef .... type; }; template <typename Holder> typename result<extract_rule(const Holder)>::type operator()( const Holder& h ) const { .... } }; Does this look right? regards,

[Asio] streambuf exceptions
by Dylan Klomparens 25 Feb '10

25 Feb '10

I'm using an asio::streambuf to read and write data to a socket. Despite my best efforts, I can't get the streambuf to throw an exception if I consume too much. I'm trying to get it to throw an exception so I can test an error case. The documentation says streambuf::consume will throw an std::length error if the requested amount to read is greater than the input stream size ( http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/doc/html/boost_asio/reference/basic_st…) But in my test program, this did not happen. Do I need to enable exception throwing somehow? Or is streambuf working as intended and not supposed to throw an exception? Here is my test program: #include <iostream> #include <boost/asio.hpp> using namespace std; int main() { char in[] = "hello"; char out[6] = {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}; boost::asio::streambuf s; s.sputn(in, sizeof(in)); s.sgetn(out, sizeof(in)); cout << out << endl << s.size() << endl; s.consume(1000); return 0; }

[graph] [parallel graph] property and distributedS
by Andreas Zilian 25 Feb '10

25 Feb '10

Hello, using the parallel graph library, I try to combine the property definition for a vertex typedef property<vertex_rank_t, int, VVV> vertex_property_t; with the vertex storage type distributedS in a distributed adjacency_list. Unfortunately this does not compile in the form listed below. Now, I would like to learn why the code actually compiles fine if a) distributedS is changed to vecS (see typdef vertex_storage_t), b) property<vertex_rank_t, int, VVV> is changed to VVV (see typedef vertex_property_t). I need the property vertex_rank_t for redistribution of the graph. Thank you very much, Andreas #include <boost/graph/use_mpi.hpp> #include <boost/graph/distributed/adjacency_list.hpp> #include <boost/graph/distributed/mpi_process_group.hpp> using namespace boost; using boost::graph::distributed::mpi_process_group; struct VVV { friend class boost::serialization::access; template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version) { } }; //typedef vecS vertex_storage_t ; typedef distributedS<mpi_process_group, vecS> vertex_storage_t ; //typedef VVV vertex_property_t; typedef property<vertex_rank_t, int, VVV> vertex_property_t; typedef adjacency_list<vecS, vertex_storage_t, directedS, vertex_property_t> G; int main (int argc, char* argv[]) { boost::mpi::environment env(argc,argv); G g(10); }

Problem creating a circular buffer in shared memory using Boost
by Cuneyt Taskiran 25 Feb '10

25 Feb '10

Hi, I am trying to create a circular buffer in shared memory using Boost circular_buffer and Interprocess libraries. I compiled and ran the the example given in the Interprocess documentation<http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/doc/html/interprocess/quick_guide.html…>for creating a vector in shared memory with no problem. However, when I modify it to use the Boost circular_buffer as: int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { managed_shared_memory segment(create_only, "MySharedMemory", 65536); const ShmemAllocator alloc_inst (segment.get_segment_manager()); MyCircBuffer *myCircBuf = segment.construct<MyCircBuffer>("MyCircBuffer")(alloc_inst); return 0; } I get a compilation error (caused by segment.construct()). Any idea what I am doing wrong? Is it because circular_buffer is not one of the containers listed in /boost/interprocess/containers, i.e. it's not compatible with Interprocess? Thanks, C

[phoenix] How to determine if a phoenix functor is callable?
by Jesse Perla 25 Feb '10

25 Feb '10

So there any ways to implement a metafunction can_be_called on a phoenix functor s.t.: auto f = _1 + _2; static_assert(is_callable<decltype(f), double, double>::value, ""); static_assert(!is_callable<decltype(f), double, NonArithmeticType>::value, ""); static_assert(!is_callable<decltype(f), double>::value, ""); //Needs 2 args A while back, I was pointed towards the following from proto to determine if a functor was callable: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/doc/html/proto/appendices.html#boost_p… pendices.implementation.function_arity This seemed to work well for most of my custom built functors, but as far as I can tell, the trick doesn't work for either boost::lambda or boost::phoenix functors (or std::tr1::bind for that matter). I can post a test case for phoenix if people think that it should work. -Jesse

[karma] Losing attribute?
by Sebastian Redl 25 Feb '10

25 Feb '10

Hi, I've got a Karma generator that should emit a vector of records, writing out the index of every entry at the start. My code looks like this (note that GEOPOINT is a fusion-adapted struct of two doubles): typedef std::vector<GEOPOINT> Contour; typedef std::vector<Contour> Poly; rule<Iterator, GEOPOINT()> point; rule<Iterator, Contour(int)> contour; rule<Iterator, locals<int>, Poly()> polygon; rule<Iterator, Poly()> start; point = L';' << double_ << L';' << double_; contour = L";SUBPOLYGON " << lit(_r1 - 1) << L" POINTS " << lit(phoenix::size(_val)) << L" MASK XOR" << *point; polygon = L"POLYGON COUNT " << lit(phoenix::size(_val)) << *(contour(_a)[++_a]); start = polygon; This doesn't work. If I take away the modification of _a, it works, except that of course the index is 0 in every iteration. But the moment I modify _a in any way (including assigning to it anywhere in the polygon rule), suddenly contour seems to get an incorrect attribute: it never fails, but never emits points either, i.e. I get an endless string of ";SUBPOLYGON 1 POINTS 0 MASK XOR;SUBPOLYGON 2 POINTS 0 MASK XOR;SUBPOLYGON 3 POINTS 0 MASK XOR...". Any idea why that is? Sebastian

[MPL] Filtering a sequence to leave only most-derived types
by Sebastian Redl 25 Feb '10

25 Feb '10

Hi, I've got an MPL sequence containing a (rather small) number of classes. I want to filter this sequence so that all classes that are a base of another class in the sequence are filtered out. I thought I'd do something like this (in pseudo-code): is_strict_base_of(Base, Derived) = !is_same(Base, Derived) && is_base_of(Base, Derived) Result = remove_if( Interfaces, find_if( Interfaces, is_strict_base_of(outer_value, inner_value) ) != end(Interfaces) ) where outer_value is the iteration value of the remove_if loop, and inner_value is the iteration value of the count_if loop. Yes, this is N², but since the length of the initial sequence is very unlikely to exceed 8, I can live with that. In MPL syntax: template <typename Base, typename Derived> struct is_strict_base_of : mpl::and_< mpl::not_<boost::is_same<Base, Derived> >, boost::is_base_of<Base, Derived> > {}; typedef typename mpl::remove_if< Interfaces, // Remove from Interfaces mpl::not_<mpl::equal< mpl::find_if< Interfaces, // if there is any value in interfaces // that this is a base of is_strict_base_of<???> >, mpl::end<Interfaces> > > >::type Bases; How do I represent outer_value and inner_value in this expression? It seems I can't simply put mpl::_1 and mpl::_2 there, since that gives me a static assertion failure (argument is not available). I think I have to put an apply somewhere in there, but I can't figure out where. Sebastian

Re: [Boost-users] [serialization] Polymorphic serialization withpolymorphic archives problem...
by Martin Lederhilger 25 Feb '10

25 Feb '10

Hello Robert, hello Bogdan, I have quite the same problem (Exception multiple_code_instantiation thrown in basic_serializer_map.cpp at line 48) as Bogdan. It can be reproduced by changing the pointer type from polymorphic_base to polymorphic_derived2 in the original test_dll_exported.cpp example, which comes with the library. void save_exported(const char *testfile) { test_ostream os(testfile, TEST_STREAM_FLAGS); test_oarchive oa(os, TEST_ARCHIVE_FLAGS); polymorphic_base *rb1 = new polymorphic_derived1; polymorphic_derived2 *rb2 = new polymorphic_derived2; // export will permit correct serialization // through a pointer to a base class oa << BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(rb1); oa << BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(rb2); delete rb1; delete rb2; } I think the problem is that when oa << BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(rb2); is called, that the system registers an type in oserializer.hpp, which leads to creation of the singletons also in the executeable. I have this problem when serializing a shared_ptr<A> in class B in B.dll to an object of class A in A.dll. I tried to simply comment out this check, but it seems that I get problems with tracking later. I have a class hierarchy like this: C derives from B derives from A. A has a weak_ptr<A> to itself (something like boost::enable_shared_from_this). If I serialize an object of type C via a base pointer of type B the serialization walks like this: C::serialize, B::serialize, A::serialize, and again C::serialize (with a wrong this pointer - and it should not do that). Maybe my second problem depends on the first one. I hope that my report can be of help. Thanks in advance for your answers, Martin Lederhilger

boost::asio acceptor::cancel() behavior.
by Jivan Amara 25 Feb '10

25 Feb '10

Hi all, I'm looking at the documentation for acceptor::cancel(), which states that it will: "Cancel all asynchronous operations associated with the acceptor.", then in the detailed description states: "This function causes all outstanding asynchronous connect, send and receive operations to finish immediately, and the handlers for cancelled operations will be passed the |boost::asio::error::operation_aborted| error. " The wording is unclear to me. What are send and receive operations associated with the acceptor? Are these reads and writes performed using sockets that were connected through this acceptor, or just the network overhead required to perform accepts? Thanks, Jivan

[Proto] Processing Lists
by David Greene 25 Feb '10

25 Feb '10

I want to process a list that looks something like this: struct List : or_< comma< List, Item >, Item > {}; But rather than processing each item separately, I want to pass a fusion (or some other) sequence to a semantic action: when< List, SomeAction(...) > {}; Ideally the argument to SomeAction would be a fusion sequence but I don't know how to produce one. This doesn't work: when< List, SomeAction(flatten(_)) > {}; because flatten is not a transform. I don't want to use fold_tree because I don't want to actually fold the sequence. SomeAction is something like this: struct SomeAction : callable { template<typename Seq> void operator()(Seq range) { typedef ... iterator; // Is this legal for fusion sequences? for(iterator i = begin(range), iend = end(range); i != iend; i = next(i)) { ... } } } Is there a way to do this? On a related note, I know I can use varag<> to match a function call expression with an arbitrary number of operands and invoke a transform on each operand. But how would I generate a fusion sequence of all the operands? In other words, with: proto::function< X, proto::vararg<Y> > how do I talk about the vararg<> part in a semantic action? CalculatorGrammar has a use of vararg but it uses fold<> to process it. I don't want to fold a sequence, I want to pass it to a transform. Thanks! -Dave

Newbie Xpressive Help Needed
by Timothy Sassone 25 Feb '10

25 Feb '10

I'm new to both boost and Xpressive, but I've worked with regex before. I've been able figure most of it out from the Xpressive user guide, but I'm having some trouble with a particular expression. I'm using Xpressive to "parse" files from a game called Dwarf Fortress, and one of the lines in the file has a couple places where some information is printed in a different format, or entirely excluded. The lines are describing the history of the game, specifically the rulers. For example, one line might look like this: *[*] Flichlikus (b.??? d. 3, Reign Began: 1), *** Original Line, Married (d. 91)* While another would look like this: *[*] Thufuchrunkin (b.3, Reign Began: 97), Inherited from mother, Married (d. 160)* Thus far, I've got it finding the ruler's name, and their birth date (or "???"). However, since the date of death is sometimes completely absent, I need some way to get the number if it's there, and skip it otherwise. From what I understand, I'll need to use the lookahead or lookbehind constructs, but they're well beyond what I've done with regex before, so I don't really even know where to begin. How would I go about retrieving the date of death if it's there, and otherwise skipping it entirely (or better yet, set it to a default value...)? Here's what I'm using to parse up through the date of birth... *mark_tag RU_Name(1), RU_Birth(2), RU_Death(3), RU_ReignBegin(4), RU_Line(5), RU_Married(6);* *sregex Reg_Ruler = " [*] " >> ( RU_Name = +(+_w|_s) ) >> "(b." >> (RU_Birth = (+(_d)|"???"));* * * Any help would be much appreciated, and a link to a decent tutorial to help me with Xpressive in general would be even better. Thanks! Tim

[iostream] exception propogation
by Anand Patel 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

I came across interesting exception propagation behavior across different platform (win32, linux). I have created several filters and custom filtering stream with my filters (boost 1.38-1.41). My filter throws BOOST_IOSTREAMS_FAILURE("some message"); whenever error condition occurs. On Linux exception gets propagated all the way to user using my stream. On Windows XP (VS 2008) it gets caught somewhere in boost framework or Windows. Moreover, after exception is silently caught and dropped, all the filters close method is called. This is where I run into issue. Is there anyway to ensure that upon exception no more data processing takes place withing filtering_stream and its chain? -Anand

Xcode and Boost
by David Rangel 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

Boost Users: I am interested in using Xcode on OSX to develop some code, and have been having some troubles compiling the regex example given at: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html I can compile using the command line, but not in Xcode. I do not know if this is the correct forum on which to post, but after some searching for my question on the web, I have not found a suitable answer. I am able to compile the simple first example using Xcode, by directing it to look for the header files and libraries. The same procedure does not work for the second example and the compilation fails. I am not sure if anyone is using the XCode development development environment and has run into this problem, but any hints would be appreciated. Thank you

Hi all, I downloaded the last version of boost (1.42), and I saw that there still remains errors I reported before. I give you the fixed version of both incorrect files. Example of error: channel.hpp:368: warning: left shift count >= width of type I hope this will help in making a stronger version of bgil :) Good luck, Eloi Du Bois.

boost::filesystem is not detecting symlinks on Linux /sys/devices directory
by Conrad Whelan 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

Hi, I'm writing some code to query the PCI bus for active devices. It should be pretty straightforward, as sysfs maps device information into the linux filesystem in the /sys directory. I simply need to recursively scan this directory until I find the device file corresponding to the devices of interest. I am having trouble with the scanning, using the boost::filesystem library. It seems that the is_symlink function on a path iterator is not correctly detecting a symlink. It correctly determines that the symlink is a directory, but not that it's a symlink. Simply put, I want my recursive code to follow normal directories, but not symlink directories... as it is, there is circular linkage through the /sys directory if I follow symlinks, so the loop goes infinite. Does anyone know how to distinguish between normal directories and symlink directories using boost::filesystem? thanks, conrad

Boost.Test and QProcess (Linux) memory access violation at address 0x00000000
by ariasgore＠gmx.de 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

Hello, Since boost do not provide a convenient way of calling processed I had to use Qt and QProcess to invoke an executable. I also have written tests for this situation. Which run great but fail while on OpenSuse 11.1 32 bit with boost test in 1.41.0 package. the test is fairly simple BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(test_) { Myobject g; // wrong path, this should throw BOOST_REQUIRE_NO_THROW(g.checkGdalwarp()); } The checkGdalwarp code is void checkGdalwarp() { QProcess testproc(this); testproc.start(MyObject::GDALWARP_PATH.c_str()); bool finished = testproc.waitForFinished(); if(!finished || ( finished && testproc.exitStatus()!=QProcess::NormalExit )) { throw errors::GdalWarpNotLocated(); } } The function works if called without boost test but it terribly fails while in the auto test case. Sometimes I get "exception thrown" in the test, if I repeat the method again I get a memory access violation at address 0x00000000 and this test method is stuck. So the execution of the test never finished (at least not the 10 hours since yesterday) This perfectly works on windows but never on linux.

Generic Properties and serializable boost::any.
by Mauricio Gomes 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

Dear All, Googling the subject I see there were some discussion about the subject sometime ago. Does anybody has implemented a serializable version (in the sense of the boost serialization library) of boost::any ? If you do, would you mind sharing it ? I want to implement a generic Property class. I have taken a look at Property Tree but that requires an homogeneous container (it requires to pass the data type in the constructor template parameter. I would like to pass only the key type and use boost::any to store the values. However I need it to be serializable. I am learning generic programming and I am a bit out of my league here so I would like to check if anybody has already ventured in making boost::any serializable before I try it myself. The goal would be to get something that would give me functionality similar to get<T>(key) as we can find in Property Tree but requiring the data type in a set<T>(key) method instead of asking for it in the constructor. Does it make sense ? Am I in the right path using boost::any ? Is it even possible in C++ ? Thank you for your attention, -- Mau

[graph] [parallel graph] property and distributedS
by Andreas Zilian 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

Hello, using the parallel graph library, I try to combine the property definition for a vertex typedef property<vertex_rank_t, int, VVV> vertex_property_t; with the vertex storage type distributedS in a distributed adjacency_list. Unfortunately this does not compile in the form listed below. Now, I would like to learn why the code actually compiles fine if a) distributedS is changed to vecS (see typdef vertex_storage_t), b) property<vertex_rank_t, int, VVV> is changed to VVV (see typedef vertex_property_t). I need the property vertex_rank_t for redistribution of the graph. Thank you very much, Andreas #include <boost/graph/use_mpi.hpp> #include <boost/graph/distributed/adjacency_list.hpp> #include <boost/graph/distributed/mpi_process_group.hpp> using namespace boost; using boost::graph::distributed::mpi_process_group; struct VVV { friend class boost::serialization::access; template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version) { } }; //typedef vecS vertex_storage_t ; typedef distributedS<mpi_process_group, vecS> vertex_storage_t ; //typedef VVV vertex_property_t; typedef property<vertex_rank_t, int, VVV> vertex_property_t; typedef adjacency_list<vecS, vertex_storage_t, directedS, vertex_property_t> G; int main () { G g(10); }

linking problems
by Christian Meesters 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

Hi, Perhaps a bit off-topic, but I'm new to boost, so I don't know better. My program is named yamas. Now, when I do g++ -o trunk/yamas.o -c -fopenmp -O3 -Wall trunk/yamas.cpp there aren't any warnings or errors, but g++ -o yamas -fopenmp trunk/yamas.o tells me yamas.cpp:(.text+0x362): undefined reference to `boost::program_options::options_description::m_default_line_length' and goes on with many more compiler messages. My question now is, how can I make g++ aware of boost during the linking process. I tinkered with -L/usr/local/lib (where my boost libraries are), but without success. Specifically stating -llibboost_program_options lets g++ tell me that I cannot find this library. However, /usr/local/lib is in LD_LIBRARY_PATH and libboost_program_options.so in there - installed today. Any hints for me? TIA Christian

fusion struct adapted, latest trunk changes
by Hicham Mouline 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

Christopher, I had a temporary tweak to boost\fusion\adapted\struct\adapt_struct.hpp and boost\fusion\adapted\struct\extension.hpp where I added a struct_member_name template that returned the const char * name of a given member of the struct. In boost\fusion\adapted\struct\extension.hpp, there was the primary template template <typename Struct, int i> struct_member_name; and in boost\fusion\adapted\struct\adapt_struct.hpp, I added in the BOOST_FUSION_ADAPT_STRUCT_C macro (given to me by Joel) the following: template <> \ struct struct_member_name<name, i> \ { \ typedef char const* type; \ static type call() \ { \ return BOOST_PP_STRINGIZE(BOOST_PP_TUPLE_ELEM(2, 1, xy)); \ } \ }; I had promised Joel I would add this to the other adapted "things" (other headers). Then a user API (not extension API) would be added to access these. 1. temporarily, which files should I add this tweak to (boost\fusion\adapted\struct\extension.hpp is gone) 2. I understand your changes are about adapting class/struct templates. Where should I add this tweak to if I wish to use it for adapted templates, regards,

If you can "override" (sic) the function that takes the data, can't you just replace by some multi_array<double, 2>, if there is no pointer arithmetic in the function then that it is easy to do. right? Alfredo _______________________________________________ The function is a virtual member function of a class. It has signature virtual f(double** data, ....) So I can override in my derived class, but then I can only override it with the same signature. creating the array of pointers is what the library does in their default implementation. But for me, I have the data already in the array, so it is a waste of runtime and memory, anyways, you confirmed there is no way around this, thanks very much,

multi_array : using double** from 3rd party lib
by Hicham Mouline 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

Hello, I have a 3rd party library which exposes a function that takes a double** data argument. I looked into its source and saw that they use this notation data[i][j] with i and j varying from imin to imax and j from jmin to jmax Now I have a boost::multi_array<double, 7> marray and I have 2 dimensions that are given to me by the user at runtime, between 0 and 6. They may be contiguous or not. and I wish to pass the "subarray" as a double** argument and call their function .It's not possible, is it? I am actually able to override their function that takes in a double** data. Can it work then? regards,

Boost and Pipes
by 'Buser' 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

Hi, I am looking to use Named Pipes cross platform with non-blocking read & writes. Looking through the boost documentation, I couldn't find any Pipe Abstraction in boost. I was wondering if there is anything in the works for pipes support in Boost or if anyone has some existing implementation which can be used? ---- This message was sent using MailFool.

Hello, I'm making first (wrong) steps with the unit test suite. Could someone please guide me in troubleshooting the problems below? The command is executed from directory /boost_1_41_0/libs/assign/test Apparently the command generates some objects files in both /bin.v2/libs/assign/test and /bin.v2/libs/test/build/gcc-4.2.1/link-static as well as libboost_unit_test_framework.a in the latter directory.

Help make boost::multi_array code generic!
by Joey Mukherjee 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

I have some code which makes use of boost::multi_array that I would like to make more generic, but I am incapable of groking the error messages. I am hoping some one can shed some light on this. I have a one dimensional array of number which is actually a tensor of variable size. I have a vector (vinfo._sizes) which contains the size of each of the dimensions. In this case, I am using the 3D version. I have another vector (local_subsensors) which contains a specific slice of the 3D view (i.e. reduce the 3D to 2D) that I am seeking or a -1 to mean I want everything in the row/column. I am also given an X/Y variable to return out a specific value from this new 2D matrix. This code works in constructing a view of this type: typedef boost::const_multi_array_ref <double, 3>array_type; array_type::index_gen indices; array_type multi_array (&(vals [0]), vinfo._sizes); if ((local_subsensors [0] == -1) &&(local_subsensors [1] == -1)) { ret_val = (array_type::const_array_view<2>::type (multi_array [indices [range ()][range()][local_subsensors[2]]])) [whichX][whichY]; } else if ((local_subsensors [0] == -1) &&(local_subsensors [2] == -1)) { ret_val = (array_type::const_array_view<2>::type (multi_array [indices [range()][local_subsensors[1]][range()]])) [whichX][whichY]; } else if ((local_subsensors [1] == -1) &&(local_subsensors [2] == -1)) { ret_val = (array_type::const_array_view<2>::type (multi_array [indices [local_subsensors[0]][range ()][range()]])) [whichX][whichY]; } Here's my attempt at making this generic and it does not work. Can someone tell me why? range Dim [3]; for (unsigned int i = 0; i < vinfo._sizes.size(); ++i) if (local_subsensors [i] == -1) Dim [i] =range (); else Dim [i] = range (local_subsensors [i]); slice = multi_array [indices [Dim [0]][Dim [1]][Dim [2]]]; Thanks in advance!

shared_ptr / auto_ptr
by Chard 23 Feb '10

23 Feb '10

We've recently been evaluating a move from boost 1.38 to 1.42 [MSVC71], and we had some code that breaks down to the following: [1] struct T {}; [2] std::auto_ptr<T> ap; [3] boost::shared_ptr<T> sp = ap; Line [3] stopped compiling because of the 'explicit' introduced (in shared_ptr.hpp) at line [L] (below). >From smart_ptr/shared_ptr.hpp: [A] template<class Y> [B] explicit shared_ptr(std::auto_ptr<Y> & r): px(r.get()), pn() [C] { [D] Y * tmp = r.get(); [E] pn = boost::detail::shared_count(r); [F] boost::detail::sp_enable_shared_from_this( this, tmp, tmp ); [G] } [H] [I]#if !defined( BOOST_NO_SFINAE ) && !defined( BOOST_NO_TEMPLATE_PARTIAL_SPECIALIZATION ) [J] [K] template<class Ap> [L] explicit shared_ptr( Ap r, typename boost::detail::sp_enable_if_auto_ptr<Ap, int>::type = 0 ): px( r.get() ), pn() [M] { [N] typename Ap::element_type * tmp = r.get(); [O] pn = boost::detail::shared_count( r ); [P] boost::detail::sp_enable_shared_from_this( this, tmp, tmp ); [Q] } The fix is trivial, but what I am curious about is: - the 'explicit' appears to have been removed at version 1.35 (i.e. it was there at 1.34) and then re-introduced at 1.39. Is there some history to this? and - it looks like our code was falling into the second overload with 1.38 (the first overload was always explicit); with a fix it will now select the first overload, so for what case does the second overload now exist? --

atomic_count overflow/underflow behaviour
by Narcoleptic Electron 23 Feb '10

23 Feb '10

What is the behaviour of boost::detail::atomic_count overflow? I realize that overflow for a signed long is undefined, but it is possible that each platform-specific atomic increment operator handles overflow in some documented way, which in sum would constitute a defined behaviour for atomic_count overflow. Documenting this behaviour (along with that of underflow, which is presumably the same) in the atomic_count documentation would be extremely helpful.

[BGL] Very slow adjacency_list deallocation/reallocation for debug builds
by T MacAdam 23 Feb '10

23 Feb '10

Does anyone know a way to speed up adjacency_list deallocation for debug builds? I've done some timing tests (see code below - should build as-is in VC9) and found the adjacency_list creates quite quickly, but is terrible during deallocation (actually, it can be as bad on creation of the graph, too, if you are building up the graph incrementally using a vecS for your vertex storage that requires reallocation as the size grows). In a release build, everything is blazing fast, but it's so slow when linked against the debug CRT that I essentially cannot debug my app. And the graph doesn't have to be too big (see code below, 50K results in a deallocation time of 171 sec if I use vecS and 268 sec if I use listS, and that's on a quite good workstation; my production graphs are > 100K vertices). BTW, I'm building with Visual C++ 9 (2008). #include <time.h> #include <iostream> #include <algorithm> #include <boost/graph/adjacency_list.hpp> using namespace std; int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { const int size = 50000; //typedef boost::adjacency_list< boost::listS, boost::vecS, boost::bidirectionalS > MyGraphType; // try storing vertices in vector<> typedef boost::adjacency_list< boost::listS, boost::listS, boost::bidirectionalS > MyGraphType; // try storing vertices in list<> typedef boost::graph_traits< MyGraphType >::vertex_descriptor MyVertexDescriptor; typedef boost::graph_traits< MyGraphType >::edge_descriptor MyEdgeDescriptor; MyGraphType *myGraph = new MyGraphType(); vector<MyVertexDescriptor> vertices(size); { cout << "Adding vertices...Started:" << endl; clock_t m_clockStart = ::clock(); for( int i = 0; i < size; ++i ) vertices[i] = boost::add_vertex(*myGraph); cout << "Adding vertices...Done: " << (double)((::clock()-m_clockStart)/CLOCKS_PER_SEC) << " seconds" << endl; } { cout << "Adding edges...Started:" << endl; clock_t m_clockStart = ::clock(); for( int i = 0; i < size-1; ++i ) boost::add_edge( vertices[i+1], vertices[i], *myGraph ); cout << "Adding edges...Done: " << (double)((::clock()-m_clockStart)/CLOCKS_PER_SEC) << " seconds" << endl; } { cout << "Deallocating graph...Started:" << endl; clock_t m_clockStart = ::clock(); delete myGraph; cout << "Deallocating graph...Done: " << (double)((::clock()-m_clockStart)/CLOCKS_PER_SEC) << " seconds" << endl; } return 0; } __________________________________________________________________ Looking for the perfect gift?

Memory Leak with ASIO SSL examples on Linux in Boost 1.40
by Madhan Kanagavel 23 Feb '10

23 Feb '10

Hello, We have been running a Boost ASIO 1.40 based server successfully for a while, handling hundreds of connections without any issues. But we recently saw some unusual memory usage and started digging into it a bit. We use Asynchronous IO with SSL. We are seeing that in the server side every time a connection occurs some memory is being used up and never getting really freed after the connection goes away. We use Resident Memory value of the server to measure memory usage of the server process. This occurs only in Linux, works fine under Windows. This is easy to reproduce: simply take the server sample and run it under Linux. http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_37_0/doc/html/boost_asio/example/ssl/server… (The only change there being to make SSL verification to none.) For the client side, make a lot of connections: typedef boost::shared_ptr<client> client_ptr; std::vector<client_ptr> clients; for (int idx = 0; idx < 200; idx++) { client_ptr new_client(new client(io_service, ctx, iterator)); clients.push_back(new_client); } At the end of the client test program run, the server would have grown in memory by about 10 MB. If you run the client program again, by another 10 MB. We also ran valgrind on the server side, but nothing significant showed up on where the memory is going. Doing the same with non-SSL sample program works fine, no change in server memory. If you need additional information, please let me know, or if we are making some stupid mistake, any help pointing us in the right direction would be much appreciated. Thanks and Best Regards, M.

Re: [Boost-users] [serialization] Polymorphic serialization withpolymorphic archives problem...
by Bogdan 23 Feb '10

23 Feb '10

I agree, the DLL case seems to be the most useful. I double-checked and the test that comes closest to this scenario (test_dll_exported.vcproj) is using template-based definitions of the serialization functions.

(Serialization) Serialization for enable_shared_from_this
by Clarke, Carus V 23 Feb '10

23 Feb '10

Alexander Gutenev wrote a message concerning this problem on Dec. 14, and I have a similar problem, also with Boost 1.41 and 1.42. After spending some time looking at this, the problem seems to be caused by creating the shared_ptr as a shared_ptr to void. This causes the shared_ptr constructor that does not support enabled_shared_from_this to be called. I think that this is because the constructor is called from a place (shared_ptr_helper.cpp) where the class derived from enable_shared_from_this is not complete. I was able to work around the problem by moving the construction of the shared_ptr back to the shared_ptr_helper::reset function template. It would really help if this problem could be fixed. It is likely that Alexander and I aren't the only ones that rely on this capability. Thank you, Carus V. (Bud) Clarke carus.v.clarke(a)boeing.com

The serialization functions are not inline: their bodies are defined inside the DLL. I did the following experiments: - I skipped manually the registration exception in the debugger and it turns out that all the serialized classes have their serializers registered twice. - if in the main function I do not call serialize/deserialize, the program runs ok; I agree with you, the program doesn't do anything but it proves that the registration is triggered by the actual usage of the serialization functionality and not by any eventual inline. I am under the impression I followed all the directions in the documentation and yet I keep hitting that glitch. Thank you, Bogdan PS. As for the case where boost serialization links as a static inside a user DLL, it fails, indeed, due to the compile stripping out code. Is there a workaround for this you would suggest?

flyweight: lazy initialization
by Johannes Brunen 23 Feb '10

23 Feb '10

Hello, Is it possible to initialize a flyweight lazy or better on user request? I have the problem that I have a custom allocator that is not ready to run before main. Currently, the flyweight initialization is performed on init of the fleiweight_core static_initilaizer member. This scheme does outrule the usage of the flyweight utility in my application. Any help would be appreciated. Best, Johannes ____________ Virus checked by G DATA AntiVirusKit Version: AVF 19.736 from 21.02.2010 Virus news: www.antiviruslab.com

shared_ptr and polymorphism
by Abderrahmane Madani 23 Feb '10

23 Feb '10

Just a little problem that I can't fix. Suppose that I have these four classes class B {}; class D1: public B {}; class D2: public B {}; class E: public D1 {}; this test: void foo(D1 *) {} void foo(D2 *) {} int main() { E *e = new E; foo(e); return 0; } work just fine but this one void foo(shared_ptr<D1>) {} void foo(shared_ptr<D2>) {} int main() { shared_ptr<E> e(new E); foo(e); return 0; } the compiler say that the foo(boost::shared_ptr<E>&)' is ambiguous. Please, can someone help me to understand why and how can I fix this problem without changing the functions name. Thanks Boost 1.35 GCC 4.4.1 regards

[filesystem] wpath and fopen() on windows
by Paul 23 Feb '10

23 Feb '10

Hi, What is the best way for me to use boost::filesystem::wpath with a 3rd party C library that expects a const char* filename, on Windows? On linux, its simple: my_file.to_external_string() but on windows that gives me a wide-character string. So far the only thing I can think of is to roll my own wstring --> UTF8 conversion function, but I'm not even sure that is correct (will fopen() work with UTF-8 encoded filenames on windows?). thanks, Paul

Optional XML serialization
by Paul 23 Feb '10

23 Feb '10

Hi, I use xml_woarchive and xml_wiarchive for reading/writing configuration files. It seems work work well for me, but now I'd like to see if I can do more with it... is it possible to load an XML serialized file, but completely IGNORE a subtree of the XML file if desired? eg template <class Archive> void load( Archive & ar, MyConfig & c, const unsigned int version ) { ar >> make_nvp("standard",c.standard); if (some_global_flag_or_whatever) ar >> make_nvp("advanced", c.advanced); else ar.skip("advanced"); // key bit } The motivation is that I want to "register modules" (in my app) that can read/write their configuration in an XML configuration file. But if the module is not registered, I want to skip that part of the configuration file and move on. I figure since the XML format is like a tree, it might/should be possible to ignore an entire segment of the tree. Is it possible? In a related note, the "class_id" bits in xml archives seems to make it difficult for users to hand-edit the XML file... Are these tags required? thanks, Paul

asio newbie: picking a free port number
by Avi Bahra 23 Feb '10

23 Feb '10

I am writing a simple client/server program which will only run on Unix boxes (linux, HP-UX, AIX). By manually choosing the port number,everything works ok. Whenever I get an "Address in use" i choose a different number. I want to free clients of this program from having to do this. >From googling around it appears that there is way of the OS, to pick a free port number. i.e by binding to port 0, sock.bind(('', 0))/ sock.getsockname()[1] Is there any boost:asio recommended way of doing this ? Is there any way of completely abstracting out the use of port numbers from an end users perspective using boost asio ? i.e so that client/server agree on a free port number behind the scenes. Any help appreciated. Best regards, Ta, Avi
