Multi-Index: custom iterator
by Sensei 26 Aug '14

26 Aug '14

Dear all, I'm not yet satisfied with my MultiIndex games, so now I am trying to do something that is purely cosmetic. However, I have *no idea* how I can do this. How can I build a custom iterator on a MultiIndex? The objective is simple. As you may recall, I am building a MultiIndex with 128 bits, indexing them by MSB, LSB, and HSB (in the middle). It works like a charm. Now I'd like to write something like this (or similar): auto it = storage.myfind<byMSB>(MSB(value128bits)); for (; i != it.end(); i++) In essence, I'd like to hide the get<> and everything I am using right now (as shown below). So I need an iterator for this data structure: typedef __uint128_t Storage; // Indexing placeholders struct byMSB { }; struct byHSB { }; struct byLSB { }; // Storage type with indexing typedef boost::multi_index::multi_index_container< Storage, boost::multi_index::indexed_by< // Hashed by subject/predicate/object boost::multi_index::hashed_non_unique<boost::multi_index::tag<byMSB>, boost::multi_index::global_fun<Storage, soSub, &Data::msb>>, // 0 boost::multi_index::hashed_non_unique<boost::multi_index::tag<byHSB>, boost::multi_index::global_fun<Storage, soPre, &Data::hsb>>, // 1 boost::multi_index::hashed_non_unique<boost::multi_index::tag<byLSB>, boost::multi_index::global_fun<Storage, soObj, &Data::lsb>> // 2 > > DataStorage; DataStorage storage_; With your suggestions I've achieved to find all items by MSB, but sincerely, now I don't know how to write a custom iterator for this type. The code for finding elements is this: //typedef typename DataStorage::template nth_index<0>::type byHashedIndex; //typedef typename DataStorage::template index<byMSB>::type byHashedIndex; //byHashedIndex &p = storage_.template get<byMSB>(); auto &p = storage_.template get<byMSB>(); auto q = p.equal_range(subject(v)); while (q.first != q.second) { std::cout << " EQID " << *(q.first) << " | " << msb(*(q.first)) << " | " << hsb(*(q.first)) << " | " << lsb(*(q.first)) << std::endl; l.push_back(*(q.first)); q.first++; } Note: I *have* written iterators, but they were much easier (for instance char*). This is far too complex for making my way on my own! From the code above, I guess I have begin() and end() point to an equal_range output .first and .second. But what will the "pointer" I need in the iterator will be? Of course, my first attempt is a complete failure: // Iterator template <class T> class iterator : public std::iterator<std::input_iterator_tag, Storage> { typedef typename DataStorage::template index<T>::type byHashedIndex; byHashedIndex &p; // Default constructor iterator() : p(storage_.get<T>()) { }; // Copy constructor iterator(const iterator& i) : p(i.p) { }; // Pre-increment ++it iterator& operator++() { ++p; return *this; }; // Post-increment it++ iterator operator++(int) {iterator tmp(*this); operator++(); return tmp; }; // Equality bool operator==(const iterator& rhs) { return p == rhs.p; }; // Non-equality bool operator!=(const iterator& rhs) { return p != rhs.p; }; // Access Storage& operator*() { return *p; }; // Difference iterator operator-(int i) { return iterator(p - i); }; // Addition iterator operator+(int i) { return iterator(p + i); }; }; Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks!

[ConceptCheck] Same type concept
by Robert Jones 25 Aug '14

25 Aug '14

I'd like a concept check to check for two types being the same type. I can see how to write such a concept, but this is such an obvious requirement that either there should be one already, or there's some blindingly obvious reason why you never need one, a reason that escapes me. A little guidance would be appreciated. Thanks, Rob.

That would be a mistake, in my opinion. Version 2 is much better -- the I/O stuff works. If users need backwards compatibility, they can define version 1, but encourage people to use version 2.

[move] Movable but not copyable bug?
by Mostafa 24 Aug '14

24 Aug '14

Given the following code, if (1) is uncommented then it fails to compile under C++03 mode yet works in C++11 mode. If commented out, then it compiles successfully under both modes. (g++ 4.8.2 is being used) Is this behavior expected or a bug? #include <boost/move/core.hpp> #include <boost/move/utility.hpp> struct Foo { Foo(int x, int y) {} Foo(BOOST_RV_REF(Foo) rhs) {} private: //Purposefully declared and not defined. Foo & operator=(Foo); private: BOOST_MOVABLE_BUT_NOT_COPYABLE(Foo) }; template <typename T> struct Bar { Bar() : f(0, 1) {} // (1) // Bar(Bar const & rhs) // : f(rhs.f) // {} Bar(BOOST_RV_REF(Bar) rhs) : f(::boost::move(rhs.f)) {} private: //Purposefully declared and not defined.

Hi there! Currently i try to implement an astar search with BGL and boost. My graph is infinite, so i searched for an example of astar_search_no_init and found this: http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2012/03/73707.php I am on gcc-4.9.0 and boost 1.52.0 on linux. I try to compile the above example and get the following error which i cant decipher ... make gcc -std=c++11 example.cpp -o example example.cpp: In function 'int main(int, char**)': example.cpp:274:140: error: no matching function for call to 'boost::associative_property_map<default_map<std::pair<XY, XY>, unsigned int> >::associative_property_map(default_map<std::pair<XY, XY>, unsigned int>)' . weight_map(boost::associative_property_map<default_map<std::pair<XY,XY>,unsigned> >(default_map<std::pair<XY,XY>,unsigned>(1))) I added the code as an attachement.

Boost.ASIO calling handler guarantees
by Фёдор Трушкин 23 Aug '14

23 Aug '14

Hello, Dear All, I'm playing with Boost.ASIO framework and failed to find a complete answer on the following question. Under which circumstances is it guaranteed that asynchronous operation completion handler is called? Plainly speaking, is this example code correct? void my_handler(const error_code &ec) { if(!ec) { /* process successful operation */ } else { /* process failed operation */ } try { async_write(port, my_handler2) } catch(...) { // processing failure to execute asynchronous operation } } Obviously here I rely heavily upon the above mentioned guarantee. Looking at least at async_write() implementation, it cannot be relied upon: - async_write executes a chain of boost::asio::detail::write_op() operations: - if asio_handler_allocate() may throw then - write_op::stream_.async_write_some() may throw then - write_op.handler_() might never be called So, either we should never rely on this assumption, or there's a bug in async_write(). Not relying on this assumption what is the reliable way of building applications with Boost.Asio? Sincerely yours, Fedor Trushkin

exercism.io -- crowd-sourced mentorship C++ track online
by legalize+jeeves＠mail.xmission.com 22 Aug '14

22 Aug '14

[Please do not mail me a copy of your followup] Hi Boost-ers, Katrina Owens has created <http://exercism.io>, a web site designed to help programmers get better at their craft through crowd-sourced mentorship. The whole thing is free and open source and all you need to participate is a github account. I have contributed a basic set of completed exercises to enable the C++ language track. I would love for people from the boost community to participate in the C++ track. I had fun doing the initial set of exercises. Most of them could be completed in under 20 minutes, although the intention is that they increase in difficulty as you progress through them. For each exercise you are presented with the problem statement and a set of Boost.Test unit tests. The goal is to get a program that achieves the function and is expressive and readable. First you get all the tests passing in order to achieve the desired function, but then revise the code to get it to be more expressive and idiomatic in the language. It's that last part where the crowd-sourced mentorship comes into play -- once you've submitted your solution for a problem to the website, you'll be able to view the solutions other people have submitted for the same exercise in the same language. You can mentor them in how to write more expressive, idiomatic C++11 code. Who knows, maybe you'll also improve your C++11 skills by reading feedback from others on your submissions. Feel free to comment here or file an issue on the exercism.io github repository <http://github.com/exercism/exercism.io> if you think the C++ track needs more or better instructions or helpful links. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book <http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline> The Computer Graphics Museum <http://computergraphicsmuseum.org> The Terminals Wiki <http://terminals.classiccmp.org> Legalize Adulthood!

[review] Formal review period for VMD library begins today, Aug 21, and ends Sat, Aug 30
by Steven Watanabe 21 Aug '14

21 Aug '14

AMDG The formal review of the VMD library by Edward Diener starts today, Aug 21st and is scheduled to continue until Aug 30th. About VMD =============== The Variadic Macro Data library is a library of variadic macros which enhance the functionality in the Boost preprocessor library ( Boost PP ). The main focus of the library is the parsing/identifying of a subset of C++ preprocessor data types and of all Boost PP data types. This allows enhanced preprocessor metaprogramming based on the type of macro input. The library may also be seen as a repository for future enhancements to the Boost PP library functionality using variadic macros. Where to get it =============== The library is available on github at https://github.com/eldiener/variadic_macro_data Review guidelines ================= Reviews should be submitted to the developer list (boost(a)lists.boost.org) with '[vmd]' in the subject. Or if you don't wish to for some reason, you can send them privately to me. If so, please let me know whether or not you'd like your review to be forwarded to the list. For your review you may wish to consider the following questions: - What is your evaluation of the design? - What is your evaluation of the implementation? - What is your evaluation of the documentation? - What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library? - Did you try to use the library? With what compiler? Did you have any problems? - How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A quick reading? In-depth study? - Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain? And finally, every review should answer this question: - Do you think the library should be accepted as a Boost library? Be sure to say this explicitly so that your other comments don't obscure your overall opinion. In Christ, Steven Watanabe

A library for "string chains"?
by legalize+jeeves＠mail.xmission.com 21 Aug '14

21 Aug '14

[Please do not mail me a copy of your followup] For a motivating example, see this gist: <https://gist.github.com/LegalizeAdulthood/7b67968bd93fbd4f9dbb> It uses boost::mapped_file to map a mail message into memory and then proceeeds to parse it. This is simply an example, but I think this hacked up parser comes fairly close to handling the full RFC2822 message, ignoring MIME extensions. <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2822> I hacked it up from memory of mail message format rules and a single example message, so don't consider it production quality :-). The intention here is to parse a file without copying it's input text into any buffers. Notice that this parser builds structure from a buffer by identifying interesting substrings as (b,e) pointer pairs. A more traditional approach would have involved at least 2 more copies: one that gets the data from the file system into the stream buffer and another one that copies the data from the stream buffer into a std::string. The extra copying can take significant amounts of time when processing thousands of mail messages. Mail messages tend to be short, so mapping them into memory is not such a big deal. Obviously there is a lifetime relationship between the mapped file (the source character buffer) and the associated strings. For my use case, I'm not interested in being able to write to the strings, just read from them. (If you look closely you'll see that I "cheat" and add a few segments into my string that are associated with const char* C-style strings, but they too are read-only.) I'm interested to know if anyone is aware of a "string chain" library that provides a (read-only) API similar to std::string, but is fundamentally just managing (b,e) pointer pairs into some larger buffer. Boost.Test has a funky string class hiding in it called basic_cstring, but it wasn't created for this purpose. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book <http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline> The Computer Graphics Museum <http://computergraphicsmuseum.org> The Terminals Wiki <http://terminals.classiccmp.org> Legalize Adulthood!

[Serialization] 1.56.0 - unregistered_class exception while using EXPORTs
by Todd Seiler 20 Aug '14

20 Aug '14

I've been pulling my hair out for a couple of days trying to get this to work. When I serialize something from a base pointer, it throws an "unregistered_class" exception. I know the type of object that's being serialized and that class has "BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_KEY" in the header and "BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_IMPLEMENT" in the cpp file with the same name. In the save and load functions I also have: boost::serialization::void_cast_register( static_cast<Derived*>(NULL), static_cast<Base*>(NULL)); The base class is an abstract base class with one pure virtual function method. But here are the differences: 1) I tried using the "ASSUME_ABSTRACT....." macro. That didn't do anything for me. 2) The abstract base class also has a cpp file with some code in it. I'm not sure if that matters or not... Here's the thing. I can get the derived class's "save" method to be called with this code: std::ofstream o(case_path_ + "/" + file_name); if (o.good()) { // MUST HAVE THIS boost::serialization::void_cast_register<Derived, Base>( static_cast<Derived*>(NULL), static_cast<Base*>(NULL)); boost::archive::polymorphic_text_oarchive oa(o); boost::archive::polymorphic_oarchive & oa_interface = oa; oa_interface << base_ptr; } Having the void_cast_register() there sort of defeats the purpose though. I shouldn't need to pre-register them. In all the examples, I see the void_cast_register() inside of the "save" and "load" methods, which is what I have already. All my serialization code resides in cpp files. Also, the serialization code resides in a static lib. But the archive creation and the action to serialize is performed in a dynamic lib. I am also using polymorphic archives everywhere. I've also forced template instantiation of all serialization code and polymorphic archive interface stuff. Any clue?

[Serialization] 1.56.0 - How to serialize polymorphic base class data without derived data
by Todd Seiler 20 Aug '14

20 Aug '14

Basically, I'm looking to serialize a base class that's polymorphic, from a base class pointer, without it calling the derived class's serialize functions... Here is my setup: class RenderableMesh : public BasicMesh, public DynamicRenderable; Basically, I don't want it to serialize RenderableMesh or DynamicRenderable given a "basicMesh" pointer. The reason is because "DynamicRenderable" derives from a class inside the "Ogre3D" engine which does a bunch of memory management automatically. Basically, when I compile, it tells me it's missing operator delete, because Ogre overloads operator new or something I don't completely understand... I'm okay with serializing the BasicMesh, and then just recreating the RenderableMesh when it's deserialized. Which is what I'm going to have to do anyways because I don't want to change the Ogre3D SDK header files. It's probably super simple... If I don't implement it, it complains telling me the derived class is not registered... Which is correct. If I try to implement, it says operator delete is missing. Any ideas?

support for OpenMPI 64bit in modular-boost?
by Alle Meije Wink 19 Aug '14

19 Aug '14

Using the git repository (currently 1.57) of modular boost in Windows 7, compiling with MinGW64 and masm/ml64 (from the WDK v7) is successful but with the following warnings at the start: (1) warning: Graph library does not contain MPI-based parallel components. note: to enable them, add "using mpi ;" to your user-config.jam (2) warning: skipping optional Message Passing Interface (MPI) library. note: to enable MPI support, add "using mpi ;" to user-config.jam. note: to suppress this message, pass "--without-mpi" to bjam. note: otherwise, you can safely ignore this message. warning: No python installation configured and autoconfiguration note: failed. See http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/building.html note: for configuration instructions or pass --without-python to note: suppress this message and silently skip all Boost.Python targets After installing Open MPI 64-bit ( Windows installer of version 1.6.2 http://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/v1.6/downloads/OpenMPI_v1.6.2-2_win64… ), including adding it to the system-wide path, I have tried to re-build boost with MPI by, after running bootstrap gcc adding the line using mpi ; to the file project-config.jam in the boost directory (there is no file user-config.jam or a directory tools/build/v2 in the latest version or so it seems). Now the b2 command produces this output: The system cannot find the path specified. The system cannot find the path specified. The system cannot find the path specified. The system cannot find the path specified. The system cannot find the path specified. MPI auto-detection failed: unknown wrapper compiler mpic++ Please report this error to the Boost mailing list: http://www.boost.org You will need to manually configure MPI support. It continues to build the boost libraries, but still without MPI support. I am advised to manually configure MPI, but I'm pretty sure that is what I have just done. (the binaries are in the directory C:\Users\amwink\usr\local\OpenMPI_v1.6.2-x64\bin -- no spaces) Does anyone know what the problem is here? Is something wrong with this particular mpic++ binary that boost cannot handle? Happy to provide outputs/logs if that helps.

Boost.Xpressive
by Goran 17 Aug '14

17 Aug '14

Hi all, I'll have to check large CSV text files (up to several GB) and check them with Xpressive. As far as I can see, the only way to do is to load the whole file into a std::string and hand over to Xpressive. I don't want to do that because my files are too big. So, how can I open a CSV file in text mode, get bidirectional iterators and hand them over to Xpressive? Regards Goran

[Serialization] 1.56.0 - polymorphic archive saving std::shared_ptr<>, no member named "get_helper"
by Todd Seiler 17 Aug '14

17 Aug '14

I'm trying to serialize a std::shared_ptr using a polymorphic archive interface, but it complains about no "get_helper". Specifically clang states: "<removed_for_posting>/boost_1_56_0/boost/serialization/shared_ptr.hpp:253:21: No member named 'get_helper' in 'boost::archive::polymorphic_iarchive'" I tried including "boost/serialization/shared_ptr_helper.hpp", but this didn't seem to have what I needed. I did see the new stuff in "boost/serialization/shared_ptr.hpp" regarding std::shared_ptr<>, so I'm hopeful. Most of what I'm doing requires the serialization code to be inside of dll's or dylibs, so I believe I'm going down the correct path in using polymorphic archives... void save(std::shared_ptr<developer> p) { std::ofstream of("archiv.txt"); boost::archive::polymorphic_text_oarchive oa(of); boost::archive::polymorphic_oarchive & oa_interface = oa; oa_interface << p; } void load() { std::ifstream i("archiv.txt"); boost::archive::polymorphic_text_iarchive ia(i); boost::archive::polymorphic_iarchive & ia_interface = ia; std::shared_ptr<developer> p; ia_interface >> p; std::cout << p->getName() << std::endl; std::cout << p->age() << std::endl; std::cout << p->language() << std::endl; std::cout << p->getLangVer() << std::endl; } The compiler error specifically points to this function in shared_ptr.hpp template<class Archive, class T> inline void load( Archive & ar, std::shared_ptr< T > &t, const unsigned int /*file_version*/ ){ // The most common cause of trapping here would be serializing // something like shared_ptr<int>. This occurs because int // is never tracked by default. Wrap int in a trackable type BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT((tracking_level< T >::value != track_never)); T* r; ar >> boost::serialization::make_nvp("px", r); boost::serialization::shared_ptr_helper<std::shared_ptr> & h = ar.template get_helper< shared_ptr_helper<std::shared_ptr> >(); h.reset(t,r); } Any suggestions?

Do not understand about creating a vector of vector using Boost::interprocess libraries
by 张国熙 16 Aug '14

16 Aug '14

Dear everyone, I've just begun learning to use IPC in boost. Here I want to create a vector of vector<std::complex<double>>, that is to say, a matrix of complex. I read the section "containers of containers" in manual, and try to write something as the following: #include <boost/interprocess/containers/vector.hpp> #include <boost/interprocess/allocators/allocator.hpp> #include <boost/interprocess/managed_shared_memory.hpp> #include <complex> typedef boost::interprocess::allocator<std::complex<double>, boost::interprocess::managed_shared_memory::segment_manager> ComplexAllocator; typedef boost::interprocess::vector<std::complex<double>,ComplexAllocator> ComplexVector; typedef boost::interprocess::allocator<ComplexVector, boost::interprocess::managed_shared_memory::segment_manager> ComplexVectorAllocator; typedef boost::interprocess::vector<ComplexVector,ComplexVectorAllocator> ComplexMatrix; int main () { struct shm_remove { shm_remove() { boost::interprocess::shared_memory_object::remove("MySharedMemory"); } ~shm_remove(){ boost::interprocess::shared_memory_object::remove("MySharedMemory"); } } remover; boost::interprocess::create_only_t tag; boost::interprocess::managed_shared_memory segment(tag, "MySharedMemory", 65536); const ComplexVectorAllocator alloc_inst (segment.get_segment_manager()); ComplexMatrix *m = segment.construct<ComplexMatrix> ("M")(alloc_inst); m->resize(4); segment.destroy<ComplexMatrix>("M"); return 0; } However, it could not compile. And the error message is too long for me to understand. Is there anyone knowing how to fix this? Best wishes, Guoxi

I regularly compile boost with bzip2 and zlib for use under Visual Studio. Usually it is not an issue but with the last couple of versions I get a strange error message. I was hoping someone might tell me what I am doing wrong or if it is nothing to worry about. I get the error message: "The system cannot find the path specified." I've search the boost forums and the web and can't find any traffic about this problem. the output of one of the compiler statements: compile-c-c++ bin.v2\libs\atomic\build\msvc-9.0\debug\address-model-64\architecture-x86\link-static\threading-multi\lockpool.obj The system cannot find the path specified. lockpool.cpp msvc.archive bin.v2\libs\atomic\build\msvc-9.0\debug\address-model-64\architecture-x86\link-static\threading-multi\libboost_atomic-vc90-mt-gd-1_56.lib The system cannot find the path specified. common.copy D:\id\vs2008\x64\lib\boost-1_56\libboost_atomic-vc90-mt-gd-1_56.lib The error message is printed throughout the output of the build.

Globbing library?
by Andrew Marlow 15 Aug '14

15 Aug '14

Hello everybody, Is there a globbing facility in boost? If not, are there any plans to add one? Please note that globbing is related to matching strings that correspond to file system objects functionality is neither regular expressions, nor is it file system related. Therefore it does not belong in regexp, expressive or bfs. IMO. Globbing is pattern matching using conventions that grew up with unix but have been widely copied to other operating systems and environments. The rules for the patterns are very different to regular expressions and somewhat simpler. I have written a directory iterator for my own use and I currently employ boost regexp for file name matching on unix. But i would very much prefer that it use globbing. The code is portable, via ifdefs, and in the windows branch I am able to use true globbing due to a facility in the win32 API.

[BGL] Question about using remove_edge() in boost graph library
by Yi-Ping Huang 12 Aug '14

12 Aug '14

Dear boost-users: I just start learning boost graph library and have a basic problem on using the remove_edge function in boost graph library. I would like to remove an edge in a multigraph. For a graph with two edges connect vertice 0 and 1, I would like to remove one of them, but kept the other. According to the user guide, remove_edge(u ,v , g) removes all occurrences of (u ,v). So I should use remove_edge(e ,g) instead. Here, e is a valid edge descriptor. For a single graph, g, I am able to perform both remove_edge(u ,v , g) and remove_edge(e ,g) operation. However, when I want to generalize the implementation to fit my need by putting graphs in a vector container, I got segmentation fault for remove_edge(e ,graph_list[0]). (The compiler show no warning message.) On the other hand, remove_edge(u,v,g) works perfectly. I am not sure what's the difference between those two syntax causes this problem. I really want to make remove_edge(e,g) and vector container work at the same time. So any suggestion that can help my bypass this difficulty is appreciated. Thanks a lot!! Yi-Ping

asio::ip::tcp iostream wrong byte count read for last packet
by Steve Coleman 12 Aug '14

12 Aug '14

I just started out with Boost and was writing a little binary file transfer app and ran into a little problem, so I would appreciate if someone could kindly point out what I am doing wrong here. My problem is in getting the correct byte count read in the final packet received. My last frame always returns the size of the buffer, not the number of bytes read into the buffer. Isn't iostream::gcount(() meant for this? If not, what is the correct 'Boost' way of doing this? int spool_binary_data() { boost::asio::ip::tcp::endpoint dataServerEndpoint(boost::asio::ip::tcp::v4(), PMMS_TRANSFER_PORT_NUMBER); boost::asio::ip::tcp::acceptor acceptor(dataServer, dataServerEndpoint); boost::asio::ip::tcp::iostream dataServerStream; acceptor.accept(*dataServerStream.rdbuf()); char buffer[2048]; std::streamsize nbytes = sizeof(buffer); FILE * pFile = fopen ("binary.out","w"); // count = getavailable(this->native_socket) ?? // stream->rdbuf()->available() ?? while ( dataServerStream.read((char*)&buffer, nbytes) ) { int bytes_read = dataServerStream.gcount(); // always 2048 std::cout << "bytes read " << bytes_read << std::endl; fwrite(buffer,1,bytes_read,pFile); } dataServerStream.close(); fclose(pFile); }

Boost 1.56.0 has been released
by Marshall Clow 11 Aug '14

11 Aug '14

Release 1.56.0 of the Boost C++ Libraries is now available. These open-source libraries work well with the C++ Standard Library, and are usable across a broad spectrum of applications. The Boost license encourages both commercial and non-commercial use. This release contains one new library and numerous enhancements and bug fixes for existing libraries. === Modularization === Boost version control has migrated to a system using git submodules. This shouldn't make too much of a difference to users, although the directory structure is now a bit different. Parts of some libraries have been moved into different modules, and several new modules have been extracted from existing code. All header paths should remain the same. The new modules are: • Assert: Customizable assert macros. Maintained by Peter Dimov. • Core: Core utilities used by other libraries, with minimal dependencies. Maintained by Peter Dimov, Glen Fernandes and Andrey Semashev. • Lexical_Cast: General literal text conversions, such as an int represented a string, or vice-versa, from Kevlin Henney. • Throw_Exception: A common infrastructure for throwing exceptions from Boost libraries, from Emil Dotchevski. • Winapi: Windows API declarations without <windows.h>, for internal Boost use. === New Libraries === • Align: Memory alignment functions, allocators, and adaptors, from Glen Fernandes. • Type_Index: Runtime/Compile time copyable type info, from Antony Polukhin. For details, including download links, see http://www.boost.org/users/news/version_1.56.0 You can also download directly from SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.56.0/ To install this release on your system, see http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/more/getting_started/index.html Thanks, --The Boost release team Vladimir Prus Rene Rivera Marshall Clow Eric Niebler Daniel James Beman Dawes

[asio] multiple simultaneous async_read calls

11 Aug '14

Hello, all, If i write some code like this: boost::asio::async_read(socket_, bosot::asio::buffer(buffer1_.data(), len1, handler1); boost::asio::async_read(socket_, boost::asio::buffer(buffer2_.data(), len2, handler2); Will asio guarantee len1 bytes received by the first async_read, then schedule async_read2? or the result is undefined(like several bytes filled into buffer1, then next several bytes into buffer, then next several bytes into buffer1)? if the result is undefined, why asio don't add a check here? Thanks all in advance!

[Boost.Thread] Compile error: boost::promise<T>::set_value(const T&) doesn't exist
by Rob Desbois 10 Aug '14

10 Aug '14

Hi all, I'm having problems compiling with Boost.Thread's futures I can't seem to pass anything but a primitive type into make_ready_future. I've had problems with other parts of Thread (packaged_task, promise, unique/shared_future) that have produced horrendously unhelpful compile errors. Here is a minimal testcase: #include <boost/thread/future.hpp> struct foo { foo(int i_): i(i_) {} int i; }; int main() { // A const future ref isn't much use, but I needed to prove // the problem wasn't me trying to copy a unique_future const boost::unique_future<foo>& fut = boost::make_ready_future( foo(42) ); } With `BOOST_THREAD_USES_MOVE` defined before including the Boost.Future header I get the following error with gcc 4.8.2 and Boost 1.55 (full output at http://pastebin.com/0sePWBWr) ../../deps/boost/include/boost/thread/future.hpp:3634:5: error: no matching function for call to ‘boost::promise<foo>::set_value(const foo&)’ p.set_value(boost::forward<future_value_type>(value)); ^ There seems to be no overload of promise::set_value() that takes a const lvalue reference. Looking at `promise` and `future_traits` in `future.hpp` it seems that the const lvalue ref overload will only exist when `BOOST_NO_CXX11_RVALUE_REFERENCES` is undefined. That makes no sense to me however...surely the const lvalue ref overload is needed precisely when there are no rvalue references? (Note this happens even if I pass a mutable lvalue ref to `make_ready_future()`). If I don't define `BOOST_THREAD_USES_MOVE` it fails compilation with the following error (full output at http://pastebin.com/jBwiJLeC) ../../deps/boost/include/boost/thread/detail/move.hpp:183:54: error: no matching function for call to boost::unique_future<foo>::unique_future(boost::unique_future<foo>)’ #define BOOST_THREAD_MAKE_RV_REF(RVALUE) RVALUE.move() ^ Have I missed something? I'm unable to switch to C++11 mode unfortunately, but this seems such a big problem I can only assume I've done something wrong. I still get similar compile errors trying with Clang 3.4, and also with Boost 1.54 (g++ or Clang). -- Rob Desbois http://theotherbranch.wordpress.com/

I get a compilation error with vc10, iterator_range and a (const) unordered_map (the beta candidate 2 was still ok I think): #include "stdafx.h" #include <boost/range/iterator_range.hpp> #include <boost/unordered_map.hpp> int _tmain(int /*argc*/, _TCHAR* /*argv*/[]) { typedef boost::unordered_map<int, int> Container; typedef Container::const_iterator ContainerIterator; typedef boost::iterator_range<ContainerIterator> ContainerIteratorRange; const Container cnt; ContainerIteratorRange rng(cnt.cbegin(), cnt.cend()); return 0; } This gives C2248: 'boost::unordered::iterator_detail::c_iterator<Node,ConstNodePointer>::iterator' cannot access private typedef declared in class etc. (note had to cut due to 'you have lines longer than 80 characters. Fix that.' in Gmane)

Geometry layout (packing) algorithm?
by Belcourt, Kenneth 07 Aug '14

07 Aug '14

Hi, I’m looking for an algorithm that will take a largish number (i.e. 10^5) 2d or 3d polygons (mostly parallel-pipeds, e.g. squares and boxes) and partition them into non-overlapping groups where each group contains some number of polygons that might abut along an edge or face, but not overlap. Each box can be represented by a collection of line segments so I thought geometry might have what I’m looking for but I didn’t see anything in a quick scan of the documentation. Does this so called packing (layout) algorithm sound like something already in Boost, Geometry or other library? I have an implementation but what looking to see what other options exist. Thanks. — Noel Belcourt

[date-time] boost::time_duration wrapping
by Justin Muncaster 07 Aug '14

07 Aug '14

Hello, I’m having issues with wrapping of boost::time_duration derived types. I can’t find anywhere in the documentation for when the time_duration types are supposed to wrap around. I have attached some sample source code below. The output is: SecCount = 80000000 is OK. Strange Stranger Problematic SecCount = 80000001 is STRANGE. I expect the output to be SecCount = 80000000 is OK. SecCount = 80000001 is OK. The problem we ran into had to do with seconds and milliseconds having different maximum permissible values. Any idea why boost::posix_time::seconds goes negative at 0x80000001 while milliseconds is not until much later? Thanks, Justin // // test.cpp // #include <boost/date_time.hpp> #include <iostream> using namespace std; using namespace boost::posix_time; //------------------------------------------------------- //------------------------------------------------------- void Strange(long SecCount) { long MilliCount = 1000 * SecCount; bool IsStrange = false; if (SecCount >= 0 && seconds(SecCount).is_negative()) { cout << "Strange" << endl; IsStrange = true; if (!milliseconds(MilliCount).is_negative()) { // If seconds wraps, why doesn't milliseconds? cout << "Stranger" << endl; IsStrange = true; } } if (seconds(SecCount) != milliseconds(MilliCount)) { cout << "Problematic" << endl; IsStrange = true; } if (!IsStrange) { cout << "SecCount = " << SecCount << " is OK." << endl; } else { cout << "SecCount = " << SecCount << " is STRANGE." << endl; } } //------------------------------------------------------- //------------------------------------------------------- int main() { cout << hex; Strange(0x80000000); Strange(0x80000001); return 0; }

Hi, I am going through code of directory monitor ASIO extension by Boris Schäling (http://www.highscore.de/boost/dir_monitor.zip) and I am wondering: what is the benefit of making this piece of code / library an ASIO extension. It just feels like it could be easier to use and implement if it wasn't? I hope I am missing something tho and looking here for enlightenment ;) Regards, Szymon Gatner

why lockfree/queue.hpp requires has_trivial_assign and has_trivial_destructor to template type T
by 何子杰Hzj_jie 06 Aug '14

06 Aug '14

hi, all,as new to boost, i am looking for a solution to combine boost::lockfree::queue with std::function, i.e. boot::lockfree::queue<std::function>, but unfortunately, the implementation of the lockfree queue required the T to be trivial assignable and trivial destructible.with some basic investigation to the implementation of boost::lockfree::queue, the assignment operator is using when pop or unsynchronized_pop, it calls detail::copy_payload, which is using operator= or constructor and operator=. though overloaded assignment operator may use more time and cause the pop function to wait for longer time, i do not see it would block the logic.for the destruction, queue implementation always calls pool.template destruct instead deallocate, which means even for a default destructor, it will also be called. so is this a defect or by-design behavior of the lockfree queue? thank you in advanced. .Hzj_jie

[msm] State Machine and Dependency Injection
by Kris 05 Aug '14

05 Aug '14

Hi, Recently I have implemented Dependency Injection library, which I proposed to boost last week (http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/is-there-any-interest-in-a-dependency-in…) Right now I wanted to shared how dependency injection might be integrated with Boost.MSM (eUML) and would really glad for any feedback. Boost.MSM is a great library, unfortunately actions/guards have to have empty constructor and whole logic has to be handled via Finite State Machine. Such approach is hard to maintain and test, so would be great to have possibility to implement action/guards without FSM dependency and with proper dependency injection instead. More information: http://krzysztof-jusiak.github.io/di/boost/libs/di/doc/html/di/examples/int… Hello World: class guard : public euml_action<guard> { public: guard(shared_ptr<data> data = nullptr, shared_ptr<other_data> = nullptr); // default constructor is required by eUML template<typename TEvent> bool operator()(const TEvent&) const; // no FSM dependency }; class action : public euml_action<action> { public: action(shared_ptr<data> data = nullptr, shared_ptr<other_data> = nullptr); // default constructor is required by eUML template<typename TEvent> void operator()(const TEvent&); // no FSM dependency }; class state_machine_ : public state_machine_def<state_machine_> { public: using initial_state = state1; BOOST_MSM_EUML_DECLARE_TRANSITION_TABLE(( state1() + event() [guard()] / action() == state2() ), transition_table) }; using state_machine = back::state_machine< state_machine_ , back::use_dependency_injection // Boost.DI dependency injection policy >; auto sm = di::make_injector().create<state_machine>(); // create state machine / actions, guards and their dependencies will be injected via DI framework sm.process_event(event()); Hot it works? * we do implement actions/guards with any dependencies we need * we add use_dependency_injection policy in state machine definition * we create state machine using dependency injection framework library What MSM with DI actually give us? * actions/guards are really easy to test / code doesn't require FSM dependency - loosely coupled * signature change of actions/guards may not require binding configuration changes (if it's not an interface or it's an interface already bound) * FSM is just a declarative abstraction - we don't need to test it * we can use all DI goods for controlling how dependencies will be injected - see https://github.com/krzysztof-jusiak/di Project (with workings tests): https://github.com/krzysztof-jusiak/msm Comparison between usage of Boost.MSM with DI and without it: http://krzysztof-jusiak.github.io/di/boost/libs/di/doc/html/di/examples/int… Looking forward to hear from you.

[serialization] Please help me solve this compile error.
by Paul Blampspied 04 Aug '14

04 Aug '14

I am tearing my hair out over this, partly because I believe the code used to compile. I just can't see what the problem is. I enclose all the pertinent code as I cannot say which bits are irrelevant. There are two classes: ManagedArray which is an array of data without size or capacity data (this is stored elsewhere). PersistentManagedArray which I wrote to enable ManagedArrays to be serialized. The error message is produced in 'main': error: no match for 'operator<<' in 'oa << PersistentManagedArray<int>((* & size), (* & capacity), (* & ints))' It seems to me that I have defined the necessary serialize member function with the right signature. Commented out is code I wrote some time ago which used separate load and save functions.

[MultiIndex] Indexing integers
by Sensei 31 Jul '14

31 Jul '14

Dear all, I am experimenting with MultiIndex, and I am happy with my custom classes. Now I am wondering, can I index integers without a custom class? For instance, say we have a 32 bit unsigned integer, how can I index these with respect to the MSB or LSB? My first guess is using a union, something like union uint32_u { uint32_t data; uint16_t bits[2]; }; // define a multiply indexed set with indices by id and name typedef boost::multi_index::multi_index_container< uint32_u, boost::multi_index::indexed_by< // sort by MSB boost::multi_index::ordered_non_unique<boost::multi_index::member<employee, uint16_t, uint32_u.bits[0]>>, // sort by LSB boost::multi_index::ordered_non_unique<boost::multi_index::member<employee, uint16_t, uint32_u.bits[1]>>, > > integer_set; But I cannot obviously compile it. Is there a way I can do this? Thanks!

[boost][sync?] "Distributed" value (or something...)
by Klaim - Joël Lamotte 31 Jul '14

31 Jul '14

I would like to ask Boost developers and users: 1. Am I the only one seeing the following pattern in my concurrent systems code? 2. Is there already some tools available in Boost that does what I describe here and that I am not aware of? 3. If not, would there be any interest in the tool I'm describing here or not? Is it a dumb idea? (I keep getting back to this idea but I'm surprised not finding anything similar online) The pattern that I am seeing occurs when: 1. I have a value or a set of values in an object or several objects which value(s) describe some kind of configuration that several other systems will read and use. 2. The object(s) will be updated only by one thread (at a time). 3. When the object's value is modified, all the systems that rely on the object's value have to be notified so that they update themselves using that value. 4. The systems I am refering to can use different threads for updating and we can assume that they are running concurrently. 5. It is not important that the source object's value is synched with the reader's values at all time, however it is important that the sequence of changes to the source object's value is signaled to the readers exactly in the same order and "as fast as possible", but delay is ok. The simplest solution to solve this is to have a mutex locking the value and the systems checking the value regularly. (that is, using syncrhonized_value for example) However the locking and looping reads might not be necessary if it is done in another way (if I am correct, I still lack experience in the domain). The solution that I am thinking about would look like this. ///////// // The object containing the value used by the other systems. class System_A { distributed_source<int> m_foo_count; // changes to this object will be sent to "readers"... public: System_A() : m_foo_count(42) ... {} //... // thread-safe read-only access distributed_value<int> make_foo_count_reader() const { return distributed_value<int>{ m_foo_count }; } }; ///////// // The different systems acquire a read access to the value. class System_B { distributed_value<int> foo_count; // read-only value reflecting System_A::m_foo_count's value since last update. public: SystemB( const System_A& system_a, ... ) : m_foo_count( system_a.make_foo_count_reader() ) { // setup the initial config... on_foo_count_changed( *m_foo_count ); // trigger some processing when SystemA::foo_count's value have been changed: m_foo_count.on_changed( [this]( int new_value ){ // called after the value have been changed m_work_queue.push( [=]{ // will be executed on the next update cycle for this system... on_foo_count_changed( new_value ); / }); }); } //... private: void update_cycle( const UpdateInfo& info ) { // ... // the following is just to clarify: const int foo_before = *m_foo_count; // the value is not updated yet, but we can still use it m_work_queue.execute(); const int foo_after = *m_foo_count; // the value might have been udpated if( foo_before != foo_after ) { // the value have been updated (though you don't need to do this if you used the callback instead). } //... }; }; //////// // At some point the value is changed by the system owning the source object... System_A::change_foo( int new_value ) { m_work_queue.push( [=]{ // will be executed on the next update cycle of this system... // ... *m_foo_count = new_value; // assign the new value then send the new value to the readers... }); } System_A::something_complex( std::function<void(int&)> some_work ) { m_work_queue.push( [=]{ // ... m_foo_count.update( some_work ); // execute on the current value then send the resulting value to the readers }); } Some notes: a. The names are just invented while I write this email. b. I suppose that the distributed_source might have an interface similar to synchronized_value, anyway I didn't get farther than this idea. c. I see several different ways to implement this idea, some might be more efficient than others but I didn't do any tests yet (by lack of time). Thoughts?

Re: [Boost-users] [MSM] how to use a compilation firewall around inner state machines
by Mark.Bartosik＠thomsonreuters.com 31 Jul '14

31 Jul '14

Repost from different email client (prior ate linefeeds, sorry again). I have a state machine implemented with MSM (eUML) that currently has 80 transitions, there are two inner state machines. Compilation time is not great, but I have been dealing with it by BOOST_MSM_FAVOR_COMPILE_TIME and using parallel compilation where possible. Slow compilation time is an irritation and productivity killer, but my larger worry is that eventually the compiler will run out of memory. Especially as I will likely have to add another inner state machine with about 40 more transitions. Current we are using VS2008 but planning on moving everyone in the team to the VS2012 toolset but running under the VS2013 environment. I don't know if this will help, I doubt it. Currently compilation memory usage is up to 2.5GB per translation unit. So I would like to use a compilation firewall around the inner state machines. My plan is to implement concrete types for the inner state machines, with a process_event function: boost::msm::back::HandledEnum process_event( const boost::any & event ); Then within this function test for each event type to be handled by the inner state machine, and forward to a regular MSM state machine contained within the inner concrete type. I am hoping that this, plus on_entry and on_exit functions is about all I need to do.

[MSM] how to use a compilation firewall around inner state machines
by Mark Bartosik 30 Jul '14

30 Jul '14

I have a state machine implemented with MSM (eUML) that currently has 80 transitions, there are two inner state machines. Compilation time is not great, but I have been dealing with it by BOOST_MSM_FAVOR_COMPILE_TIME and using parallel compilation where possible. Slow compilation time is an irritation and productivity killer, but my larger worry is that eventually the compiler will run out of memory. Especially as I will likely have to add another inner state machine with about 40 more transitions. Current we are using VS2008 but planning on moving everyone in the team to the VS2012 toolset but running under the VS2013 environment. I don't know if this will help, I doubt it. Currently compilation memory usage is up to 2.5GB per translation unit. So I would like to use a compilation firewall around the inner state machines. My plan is to implement concrete types for the inner state machines, with a process_event function: boost::msm::back::HandledEnum process_event( const boost::any & event ); Then within this function test for each event type to be handled by the inner state machine, and forward to a regular MSM state machine contained within the inner concrete type. I am hoping that this, plus on_entry and on_exit functions is about all I need to do. I expect that I will be able to get this to work, although an example on how to put a concrete wrapper around an inner state machine would be great, and importantly a list of limitations and work arounds for this technique would be helpful. My problem is that the outer state machine transition table has rows like this: exit_pt_( inner_state, inner_state_some_pseudo_exit_state ) / do_some_stuff() == outer_s2, exit_pt_( inner_state, inner_state_other_pseudo_exit_state ) / do_other_stuff() == outer_s3, If inner_state becomes a concrete type, then I don't know if this can be handled, and if so how?

revisiting casting a boost::shared_ptr to void*
by Chris Cleeland 30 Jul '14

30 Jul '14

I'm resurrecting this topic: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/boost-list/shared_ptr$20void*/bo… because there is an unaddressed issue in it that I'm about to run into: "... beware the pointee may be deleted if the last copy of the shared pointer goes out of scope, as the raw pointer won't have incremented the reference count." I cannot be the first person to run into this--a common issue when crossing an API boundary. Has anyone come up with a good, safe solution wherein the reference count gets properly incremented? -- Chris Cleeland

[Graph] Large Graphs: performace boost
by Sensei 30 Jul '14

30 Jul '14

Dear all, Facing an increasing size in my experiments, I am wondering now if my data structure is still valid. I need to traverse a graph (with my custom A*) that now can easily contain 10M-100M nodes and 100M-400M edges. The graph is (now) without weights, but this may change in the future. The only thing that is guaranteed not to change is that the graph is immutable. The graphs might even be larger, and at some point I will move to parallel BGL, but not now. To spare some memory, I am using a CSR graph: typedef boost::compressed_sparse_row_graph<boost::bidirectionalS> boost_graph; graph_ = new boost_graph(boost::edges_are_unsorted_multi_pass, results.begin(), results.end(), nodelist().size()); I am dubious if this the best solution. I have two objectives right now, optimize with respect to 1) memory consumption, and 2) graph traversal time. The main operation I need to do on graph is just "given a node, find the adjacent ones" (with my A*). Do you suggest to switch to another graph data structure? How do you think I will sacrifice time for memory, and vice versa, if I move for instance to an adjacency list? Thanks for any suggestion!

[Serialization] XML: Necessity of attribute class_id although class_name is given
by Frank Stähr 29 Jul '14

29 Jul '14

Hello everybody, I would like to know what the purpose of the xml attribute class_id is, how it works and in which cases it can be omitted. An example: “Base” is the (abstract) base class of _GMTF_ and _TTF_, and _Hist_ also has got a similar base class. If a pointer of Hist is a member of GMTF and you want to serialize a pointer of Base, you get something like: <filter class_id="0" class_name="GMTF"> <m_bufHalfMaxSize>4</m_bufHalfMaxSize> <m_cutDetector class_id="1" class_name="Hist"></m_cutDetector> </filter> Here, the macros • BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_GUID(...), • BOOST_CLASS_IMPLEMENTATION(..., boost::serialization::object_serializable) and • BOOST_CLASS_TRACKING(..., boost::serialization::track_never) are used. The problem now is: Although the exact classes are given by human-readable class names (and used!), you cannot omit or change the class_id. If you edit the XML file by hand, it can become invalid (-> exception on reading). It seems that the class ids are just ascending non-negative numbers. What are the rules for choosing the class ids? Why are they necessary? Is there a trick to remove this attribute or at least to ignore it? Thanks, Frank -- Frank Stähr Technische Universität Berlin Communication Systems Group Sekr.

I was trying out the new Boost 1.56 beta and some of my serialization code fails to compile (they work fine with previous versions of Boost e.g. Boost 1.55). I am trying to do serialization of Eigen (http://eigen.tuxfamily.org/) matrices with following code: #include <Eigen/Core> #include <fstream> #include <boost/serialization/vector.hpp> #include <boost/archive/binary_oarchive.hpp> #include <boost/archive/binary_iarchive.hpp> //Boost Serialization of Eigen Matrix namespace boost { template<class Archive, typename _Scalar, int _Rows, int _Cols, int _Options, int _MaxRows, int _MaxCols> inline void serialize(Archive & ar, Eigen::Matrix<_Scalar, _Rows, _Cols, _Options, _MaxRows, _MaxCols>& t, const unsigned int file_version) { size_t rows = t.rows(), cols = t.cols(); ar & rows; ar & cols; if (rows * cols != t.size()) t.resize(rows, cols); ar & boost::serialization::make_array(t.data(), t.size()); } } //Simple helper for serialization to a file template <typename T> bool serialize(const T& data, const std::string& filename) { std::ofstream ofs(filename.c_str(), std::ios::out | std::ios::binary); if (!ofs.is_open()) return false; { // use scope to ensure archive goes out of scope before stream boost::archive::binary_oarchive oa(ofs); oa << data; } ofs.close(); return true; } //Simple helper for de-serialization from a file template <typename T> bool deSerialize(T& data, const std::string& filename) { std::ifstream ifs(filename.c_str(), std::ios::in | std::ios::binary); if (!ifs.is_open()) return false; { // use scope to ensure archive goes out of scope before stream boost::archive::binary_iarchive ia(ifs); ia >> data; } ifs.close(); return true; } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { typedef Eigen::Vector3d VectorType; VectorType* vec = new VectorType(1, 2, 3); serialize(vec, "v4d.dat"); std::cout << "v4d =\n" << *vec << std::endl; VectorType* vec_in; deSerialize(vec_in, "v4d.dat"); std::cout << "v4d_in =\n" << *vec_in << std::endl; return 0; } The error in Visual studio 2013 says: boost/archive/detail/iserializer.hpp(237): error C2665: 'Eigen::PlainObjectBase<Eigen::Matrix<double,3,1,0,3,1>>::operator delete' : none of the 3 overloads could convert all the argument types 2> c:\users\abhijit\codes\installs\eigen\eigen-install\include\eigen3\eigen\src/Core/PlainObjectBase.h(132): could be 'void Eigen::PlainObjectBase<Eigen::Matrix<double,3,1,0,3,1>>::operator delete(void *,const std::nothrow_t &) throw()' 2> c:\users\abhijit\codes\installs\eigen\eigen-install\include\eigen3\eigen\src/Core/PlainObjectBase.h(132): or 'void Eigen::PlainObjectBase<Eigen::Matrix<double,3,1,0,3,1>>::operator delete(void *,void *) throw()' 2> while trying to match the argument list '(VectorType *, size_t)' 2> C:\Boost\boost-1_56_0_b1\boost/archive/detail/iserializer.hpp(224) : while compiling class template member function 'void boost::archive::detail::heap_allocation<T>::has_new_operator::invoke_delete(T *)' There is also the following note, but I cannot seem to understand this. // if compilation fails here, the likely cause that the class // T has a class specific new operator but no class specific // delete operator which matches the following signature.

[SmartPtr] enable_shared_from_raw
by Gavin Lambert 27 Jul '14

27 Jul '14

Hi all, Firstly, any chance this could get some documentation? Is the author still around? I'm thinking about using this at the moment for two separate reasons (and ways in which enable_shared_from_this seems to fall short): 1. shared_from_this can't be used from the constructor (requiring factory-method-init shenanigans); reportedly (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/boost-list/8JWFZ56ry6k) shared_from_raw can, although I can't find specific details on the caveats mentioned. 2. What I *really* want to be able to do is to create a child object (most commonly a callback functor) that contains a weak_ptr, and it seems silly (and badly performant) to use the usual factory-init pattern to call shared_from_this just to degrade it back to a weak_ptr. And it should be possible to obtain that weak_ptr before any shared_ptr exists, and "fix" it later to point at the real shared_ptr, especially if it is known that the weak_ptr will never actually be used until that real shared_ptr exists. enable_shared_from_raw almost seems to fit the bill (according to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22184772/why-is-boostenable-shared-from-…) but I encountered the same problem as in this post (http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2013/05/78833.php) it works with shared_from_raw but not weak_from_raw. However this change: https://github.com/boostorg/smart_ptr/pull/8 fixes that. It looks like the two calls went down different code paths for some reason I can't fathom. Making this change (or the similar-but-better-style one mentioned in the PR discussion) makes the above scenario work as expected. I'm not sure if there was some specific reason to not do this before or if it was just an oversight. Any chance this can make it into 1.56? Or is it too late for that? Regards, Gavin Lambert

[mpi] potentially blocking send - require blocking
by Dave Clarke 25 Jul '14

The boost::mpi documentation for send() is: "This routine executes a potentially blocking send" This differs from MPI_Send() "This routine will block until the message is sent to the destination." I am developing an application which requires the code not to progress until the communication is complete. In which situations does "potentially blocking" apply? And, is there a way of guaranteeing it is complete, the equivalent of MPI_Wait() for MPI_Isend()? Regards, Dave

[mpl] BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_MSG for static_assert
by Michael Powell 23 Jul '14

23 Jul '14

Hello, I would like to add some diagnostic messages during compile time, potentially enumerating one or more types as well. static_assert is great for simple messages but falls a bit short due to inability to list types and such. I wonder if BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_MSG is the right answer, however, I am getting the following errors: BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_MSG( std::is_base_of<xnode, Node>::value , "requested type is not a node" , (types<node_type>) ); 1>i:\source\kingdom software\cppxml\xml\domain\parts\xnode.h(111): warning C4002: too many actual parameters for macro 'BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_MSG' It's an error message, but not the one(s) I am expecting. Do I need to enable something, preprocessor definition, something like that? Best regards, Michael Powell

I mean, do > you need to solve an ODE to track the additional data? > Unfortunatly, the tracking is an ode itself, so the change depends on the position and the current matrix value, so it cannot be done inside of an observer. As for the current implementation: I have a class BasicTracer<S, I>, where S is the template parameter that decides the state type (currently one of std::array<vec<2>, 2>, std::array<vec<3>, 2>, std::tuple<vec<2>, <vec<2>, matrix<4>> and std::tuple<vec<3>, vec<3>, matrix<6>>) and I the integration startegy (either Integrator, that only operates on the vectors, or MonodromyIntegrator, that also operates on the matrix). The reason for this is that I have two different use cases for the program: 1) a human-viewable visualisation of the trajectories that does not need matrices, and 2) the actual data i want to generate. Since 1) needs far more trajectories to be calculated, it is really helpful that the computation time in this case is lower. With the mentioned limitation (gcc refuses to compile with -g, "tracer.o: too many sections (50892)" and "ccQF7l7o.s: Fatal error: can't close .obj\Debug\src\tracer.o: File too big") the code works as it is now. For now i have only worked with small problem sizes, where the wait time for a result is in the order of a few minutes, however, this is going to change and therefore i want to parallelize the code. The differentiation between he use cases via templates make the code quite complex at times, and i hope to reduce that complexity before i add the parallelization. Therefore, I want to transform from a templated approach to a runtime approach. I am not sure if it is possible to make the code select the dimension at runtime without significant performance impact, but at least the second parameter should be removable without increasing runtime significantly. I am not really sure which parts of the code to post to significantly inprove my description. The tracer itself is a type like template class BasicTracer<std::tuple<vec<3>, vec<3>, monodromy_matrix<3>>, MonodromyIntegrator<std::tuple<vec<3>, vec<3>, monodromy_matrix<3>>>>; or template class BasicTracer<std::array<vec<2>, 2>, Integrator<std::array<vec<2>, 2>>>; the integration is performed like double starte = mEnergy(p); try { mMasterObserver.startTrajectory(p); perform_integration(mIntegrator, p, 2.0, 1.0 / mPotential.getSize(), mMasterObserver, mAbsErrorBound, mRelErrorBound); } catch(int& i) {}; /// \todo this is the only reason for getLastState's existence mEnergyError += std::pow( starte - mEnergy( mMasterObserver.getLastState() ), 2 ); where perform integration just sets parameters to the odeint function: template<typename System, typename State, typename Observer> std::size_t perform_integration(const System& system, State& start, double t_end, double dt, Observer& obs, double abs_err, double rel_err) { using namespace boost::numeric::odeint; // when range access is possible, try range algebra, otherwise, try fusion using algebra_type = typename std::conditional<boost::has_range_iterator<State>::value, range_algebra, fusion_algebra>::type; typedef runge_kutta_cash_karp54<State, double, State, double, algebra_type> error_stepper_type; typedef controlled_runge_kutta<error_stepper_type> controlled_stepper_type; typedef default_error_checker<typename controlled_stepper_type::value_type, typename controlled_stepper_type::algebra_type> error_checker_type; controlled_stepper_type stepper(error_checker_type(abs_err, rel_err)); return integrate_const(stepper, system, start, 0.0, t_end, dt, std::ref(obs) ); } and the operator() of the integrators look like template<class S> void Integrator<S>::operator()( const S& state, S& deriv, double/*t*/ ) const { using namespace system_state; auto position = get_position(state); auto p = position * mPotential.getSize(); double x = p[0]; double y = p[1]; // prevent out of bounds access if(y < 0 || y > mPotential.getSize()-1 || x < 0 || x > mPotential.getSize()-1) { throw(1); }; // calculate acceleration auto& acceleration = get_velocity(deriv); for(int i = 0; i < DIMENSION; ++i) { /// the compiler should be able to ompimize this std::array<int, DIMENSION> didx; didx.fill(0); didx[i] = 1; acceleration[i] = -linearInterpolate( mPotential.getDerivative(didx), p ); } // change in position = current velocity get_position( deriv ) = get_velocity( state ); } template<class S> void MonodromyIntegrator<S>::operator()( const S& state, S& deriv, double/*t*/ ) const { using namespace system_state; auto position = get_position(state); auto p = position * mPotential.getSize(); double x = p[0]; double y = p[1]; // prevent out of bounds access if(y < 0 || y > mPotential.getSize()-1 || x < 0 || x > mPotential.getSize()-1) { throw(1); }; // calculate acceleration auto& acceleration = get_velocity(deriv); for(int i = 0; i < DIMENSION; ++i) { std::array<int, DIMENSION> didx; didx.fill(0); didx[i] = 1; acceleration[i] = -linearInterpolate( mPotential.getDerivative(didx), p ); } // change in position = current velocity get_position( deriv ) = get_velocity( state ); // change in monodromy boost::numeric::ublas::axpy_prod(getMonodromyCoeff( mPotential, p ), get_data(state), get_data(deriv), true); } If there is some other part of the code that would be helpful, please let me know. > > However, the cost of tracking that matrix is quite high (that is why it > > is optional), but simply disableing the d matrix / dt calculation in the > > system does not speed up the calculation much (86 s -> 58 s vs 27 s > > without matrix).

[Statechart] How to decide between post_event and process_event atrun time ?
by Philippe DAVID 22 Jul '14

22 Jul '14

Hi, I have a method in which I want to post/process an event. The thing is, this method can be called from outside the state machine (so I need to call process_event), or indirectly by a reaction of the state machine (in this case I must call post_event since process_event is not reentrant). I don't want to write 2 distinct methods to do this (one that calls post, and the other process), I would much rather prefer adding a 'if' in my method that tells me if I have to call process_event or post_event (if I'm being called indirectly by the state machine or not). Is there a way to do this with statechart ? regards, Philippe

Hello, I am considering putting Boost Pointer Container to use in an application to help with, among other things, the polymorphic slicing issue. I've got a domain model which potentially has exactly that creeping in, vector of shared_ptr to base class, with heterogeneous vector composition. http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/ptr_container/doc/ptr_container.h… I was reading a lot of references to std::auto_ptr, which is a deprecated feature these days (http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/memory/auto_ptr/) Also the last update was in 2007 or thereabouts. Is this up to date with current language features such as std's?, i.e. std::unique_ptr, std::shared_ptr? Just generally, this is a fitness for use query. Thank you... Best regards, Michael Powell

Building modular-boost on windows with masm32?
by Alle Meije Wink 22 Jul '14

22 Jul '14

Dear all, I have tried to build modular-boost on windows (win7 64bit) using the mingw toolset. The steps that I followed (after some trial & error) are: 1. clone boost-modular from into %home%\usr\local\boost 2. in that boost directory; type bootstrap mingw ===========output=============== Building Boost.Build engine Bootstrapping is done. To build, run: .\b2 To adjust configuration, edit 'project-config.jam'. Further information: - Command line help: .\b2 --help - Getting started guide: http://boost.org/more/getting_started/windows.html - Boost.Build documentation: http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/index.html ================================ 3. after apparently successful bootstrap, type b2 -a -d+2 -q --prefix=c:\users\amwink\usr\local --build-type=complete --build-dir=build toolset=gcc link=shared runtime-link=shared The output is below. So the commands cl.exe and ml.exe, which are not in mingw but can be used from the masm32 package are found, but their output is not recognised (as I understand) Is that correct? Would there be a way around this other than installing VC++? Many thanks Alle Meije ===========output=============== Building the Boost C++ Libraries.

[odeint] optional data
by Erik Schultheis 22 Jul '14

22 Jul '14

Dear all, i am simulating particle trajectories, and depending on the data i want to generate i may or may not have to track additional data [boost.ublas c_matrix] along those trajectories. Right now i enable/disable that via a template parameter (so, using std::tuple(vec, vec) or tuple(vec, vec, c_matrix) and fusion_algebra), which has a few drawbacks. The algorithm is already templated to support varying dimensions via a template parameter, so the additional data practically doubles the number of template instantiations for system and all possible observers. This actually got so bad that gcc (mingw gcc 4.8) refuses to compile with debugging enabled. Therefore, i would like to make the switch between tracking the matrix and ignoring it a runtime choice instead of a template parameter. However, the cost of tracking that matrix is quite high (that is why it is optional), but simply disableing the d matrix / dt calculation in the system does not speed up the calculation much (86 s -> 58 s vs 27 s without matrix). A lot of time is spent in adding and multiplying numbers that are not used anywhere, or actually even copying them (e.g std::swap(c_matrix, c_matrix) shows up quite high in gprof (even though i am not sure how reliable the -pg option is in conjunction with -O3)). So what i am asking here is for suggestions how to best let odeint treat the c_matrix as uninitialized memory and never perform any operations on that depending on a runtime parameter. Options i thought of were: * deriving a class from c_matrix and providing my own versions of operator overloads that check a flag: as far as i know, boost.ublas matrices use some template magic to let operators only return expression templates to optimize evaluation if operations are chained, and i would not be sure about how to actually retain that behaviour in case the matrix is tracked. * creating my own algebra class: from what i could tell from a few quick glances into the algebra files, this would probably be conceptually easier than the other option, but would require a lot of repetetive coding. Does anyone have suggestion for a more efficient implementation strategy? Greetings Erik

[type traits] redefine a type trait
by Michael Powell 21 Jul '14

21 Jul '14

Hello, Question: is there a way to delete or remove a type trait once it has been defined? And/or redefine it? Consider, I've got a default type trait, something like this. template<typename T> struct throws_exceptions { static const bool value = true; }; struct my_object { //does some work with or without exception }; template<> struct throws_exceptions<my_object> { static const bool value = false; } However, in my unit test code, I want to override the default behavior for test purposes. template<> struct throws_exceptions<my_object> { static const bool value = true; } Or just leave the type trait out. Actually, I'm not sure I just considered an answer to my own question. Possibly I need to separate the traits from the underlying things being modified, and leave it as an option whether to include the defaults, or define user-provided traits. Best regards, Michael Powell

[msm] enque vs defer
by Raj Sambasivan 21 Jul '14

21 Jul '14

Hi boost-users/Christophe, Does enqueue and defer use the same underlying queue, and when i defer can i validate my unit testcase to check on the queue size using get_message_queue_size(). I did a quick test on defer and checking the queue size and it didnt work may be there is something wrong in my test program but wanted to check if anyone tried this out. thank you -raj

Push-Relabel undirected graph
by Charles Maske 20 Jul '14

20 Jul '14

Hi there, I'm working in a cut-tree implementation of gomoryhu algorithm and I have to compute max-flow on the input graph. I read about efficiency of the push-relabel algorithm and I want to do some tests but I can't get this because all reverse edges have to capacity equals 0. Someone knows one way to workaround this restriction? Other max-flow algorithms in BGL (edmonds-karp and boykov-kolmogorov) don't have this restriction, what do them more fast than push-relabel implementation. Thanks

[variant] forward declarations
by Michael Powell 18 Jul '14

18 Jul '14

Hello, I've got some structs in a AST of sorts which the main player in the mix is a node. In at least one of the use cases, one of the variant types must be forward declared at the time the node can be declared. Possibly one or two other similar use cases. Error 2 error C2139: 'xml::xelement' : an undefined class is not allowed as an argument to compiler intrinsic type trait '__is_nothrow_constructible' i:\installs\development\boost.org\1.55.0\boost_1_55_0\stage\include\boost\type_traits\has_nothrow_constructor.hpp 24 1 xml However, I am bumping into C2139, above. Is there any way for variant to work with forward declared structs (or classes, etc)? Or am I just asking too much from C++? I am building against Visual Studio 2013, Boost 1.55. Thank you... Best regards, Michael Powell

boost::lockfree::queue not working with -fgnu-tm
by Philipp Schoppe 18 Jul '14

18 Jul '14

Hello, I try to benchmark different queue implementations. I have a test program which includes the boost lockfree queue and some custom implementations where one is using gcc's STM. In order to compile it, I need to add the -fgnu-tm flag. I am using an up-to-date arch linux system with gcc 4.9.0 and boost 1.55.0 When adding this flag, I get a compilation error. This is a small example that illustrates the problem: errtest.cpp: #include <boost/lockfree/queue.hpp> int main () { boost::lockfree::queue<int> lfqueue; lfqueue.push(234); return 0; } Compiling it using g++ -std=c++11 -lboost_system -g -O3 -Wall -Werror -Wswitch-enum -fgnu-tm errtest.cpp -o test leads to an error.

[Log] Extract severity value
by Olivier Tournaire 17 Jul '14

17 Jul '14

Hi all, I am trying to extract severity level from a log record, but i seems that I am doing it the wrong way. Here is the code I use: void LogDockWidget::receiveLog(boost::log::record_view const& rec, const std::string& log) { logging::value_ref< logging::trivial::severity_level > level = logging::extract< logging::trivial::severity_level >("Severity", rec); // ... } Here level.get() always returns "info". All my logs are done with the BOOST_LOG_TRIVIAL(...) macro. The formatter whereas displays correctly the severity level.

1.56.0 beta release candidate 2 available for testing
by Marshall Clow 16 Jul '14

16 Jul '14

The second release candidate files for 1.56.0 beta are available at http://boost.cowic.de/rc/ As always, the release managers would appreciate it if you download the candidate of your choice and give building it a try. Please report both success and failure, and anything else that is noteworthy. This helps ensure the candidates build OK before we push them out to SourceForge. The files (and associated md5s) are: MD5 (boost-1_56_0_b1_rc2.7z) = cd6267325a8dadbb82b384c4776ee450 MD5 (boost-1_56_0_b1_rc2.tar.bz2) = b74cd72043b6b2fa16c6690633acb422 MD5 (boost-1_56_0_b1_rc2.tar.gz) = b51810be6737e73a4deee70e84895ca7 MD5 (boost-1_56_0_b1_rc2.zip) = f4ceb73492ae7d9b1843d841498850e5 Since this is the first post-git release, we are expecting some teething pains with this release. Please test extensively. Besides bug fixes the TypeIndex library has been included, and I think that the problems that mjklaim(a)gmail.com was seeing have been fixed. I would like to post this to SourceForge Thursday night/Friday morning, if possible. Thank you. --The release managers

[log] translating 3rd party logging messages
by Olaf Peter 16 Jul '14

16 Jul '14

Hello, shown my translator for Qt using boost.log: void qt_message_translator(QtMsgType type, const QMessageLogContext &context, const QString &msg) { QString const context_message = QString("Qt [") + context.function + " (" + context.file + ":" + QString::number(context.line) + ")] "; QByteArray const ctx_msg = context_message.toUtf8(); QByteArray const qt_msg = msg.toUtf8(); boost::log::sources::severity_logger<severity_level> slg; switch (type) { case QtDebugMsg: BOOST_LOG_SEV(slg, debug) << ctx_msg.constData() << qt_msg.constData(); break; case QtWarningMsg: BOOST_LOG_SEV(slg, warning) << ctx_msg.constData() << qt_msg.constData(); break; case QtCriticalMsg: BOOST_LOG_SEV(slg, error) << ctx_msg.constData() << qt_msg.constData(); break; case QtFatalMsg: BOOST_LOG_SEV(slg, fatal) << ctx_msg.constData() << qt_msg.constData(); break; default: BOOST_LOG_SEV(slg, fatal) << ctx_msg.constData() << qt_msg.constData(); break; } } ... qInstallMessageHandler(qt_message_translator); The problem is more of cosmetic nature; the logging format output is different from what is used normally - it looks alien. Since the context data is available I assume I can write an own logging source writing/fill the log records filled with the context information. Additionally I want to add a "Scope" or "Library" flag "Qt" (Scope may be not the best choise since it's used in another context). But I didn't find an example in the boost.log module to find the entry; is writing an own source the right way? How to use it in the qt_message_translator? Thanks, Olaf

adjacency_list.hpp won't compile
by Alexander While 16 Jul '14

16 Jul '14

Hello, I just recently found Boost, and I am attempting to use it in a project I am working on. However, in my attempts to make simple graphs with the graph/adjacency_list.hpp subdirectory, I get a compiler error within the code for adjacency_list.hpp. I don't know if I can copy the error message correctly, but the errors seem centered around lines 1503-1505, those saying typedef typename lookup_one_property<vertex_property_type, vertex_bundle_t>::type vertex_bundled; typedef typename lookup_one_property<edge_property_type, edge_bundle_t>::type edge_bundled; typedef typename lookup_one_property<graph_property_type, graph_bundle_t>::type graph_bundled; then lines 2027 and 275 are mentioned. The code I myself wrote compiles fine on its own. I'm using the IDE Dev-C++.

Intrusive: Checking for undefined behaviour
by Brian Wood 15 Jul '14

15 Jul '14

I was reading here about some of the sanitizers http://cplusplusmusings.wordpress.com/ and decided to try it out the undefined behavior sanitizer on some code. One thing that came out was related to the Intrusive library. /home/brian/boost_1_55_0/boost/intrusive/detail/tree_node.hpp:164:44: runtime error: member access within null pointer of type 'const boost::intrusive::bhtraits<myString, boost::intrusive::rbtree_node_traits<void *, false>, 2, boost::intrusive::default_tag, 3>' I have a couple of lines that may be related to: struct myString : set_base_hook<::boost::intrusive::link_mode<::boost::intrusive::auto_unlink> > and ::boost::intrusive::set<myString, constant_time_size<false> > files; Can someone tell me how serious this is?

TCP resolver creates TppWorkerThreads on windows only
by Chris Stankevitz 14 Jul '14

14 Jul '14

Hello, When I run the following code on windows, some threads are created, presumably by winsock. These threads are "named" _TppWorkerThread. This does not happen on linux. These threads do not stop when all the boost objects go out of scope, but I wish they did. Q1: Am I doing something wrong? Q2: Is there a boost way for me to stop these threads? Thank you, Chris int main() { { boost::asio::io_service DummyIoService; boost::asio::ip::tcp::resolver Resolver(DummyIoService); Resolver.resolve( boost::asio::ip::tcp::resolver::query("localhost", "3000")); } // At this point, there are three extra threads running: // // _TppWorkerThread@4 _ZwWaitForWorkViaWorkerFactory@8 // _TppWorkerThread@4 _ZwWaitForWorkViaWorkerFactory@8 // _TppWaiterpThread@4 _ZwWaitForMultipleObjects@20 return 0; }

Dear All, I already posted on the boost.test user mailing list, but as my question was to technical they forward me their ( http://lists.boost.org/boost-testing/2014/07/7692.php ) I installed/compiled boost on the BG/Q (with gcc provided by IBM) but I am confronted to a issue, the framework crashed (compute node) due to a call to the system function sigaltstack. >From my previous post, a boost user suggests me to disable a macro into execution_monitor.ipp line 176 https://github.com/boostorg/test/blob/boost-1.55.0/include/boost/test/impl/… If I disable this macro the framework works well.

hi, I used the following piece of code after following your suggestions. Iam new to boost and even multi-threading When I ran this piece of code on my machine I found that for every run 4 threads are only used out of the pool. As I have 4 cores in my machine. Is it so?? #include<iostream>#include<boost/asio.hpp>#include<boost/thread.hpp>boost::atomic_int thrd_gen(0);voiddowork(inti){thread_local inttid =++thrd_gen;std::cout <<"hello";std::cout <<" thread ID :"<<tid <<"\n";}intmain(){boost::asio::io_service ioservice;boost::thread_group group;boost::optional<boost::asio::io_service::work>work(boost::asio::io_service::work{ioservice});for(size_ti=0;i<boost::thread::hardware_concurrency();i++){group.create_thread(boost::bind(&boost::asio::io_service::run,&ioservice));}std::cout <<"in main thread size="<<group.size()<<std::endl;for(inti =0;i <=5;++i){for(inti=0;i<5;i++){ioservice.post(boost::bind(dowork,10));}boost::this_thread::sleep_for(boost::chrono::milliseconds(600));std::cout <<"waking up\n";}work.reset();// allow threads to exitgroup.join_all();// await proper thread shutdown } Also, my application is time-sensitive and I need to do some time measures. If I use sleep my results will be incorrect. So, please suggest an alternative way to get notified when all the threads finish without using sleep. Thanks for your time on this
