spirit::qi and Phoenix placeholder
by Olivier Austina 04 Oct '13

04 Oct '13

I am reading Spirit tutorial, at http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/libs/spirit/doc/html/spirit/qi/tutoria…. I am new to boost. It is not clear to me what the placeholder are and when using them. This is some of them: *Spirit.Qi specific Phoenix placeholders* _1, _2... , _N Nth attribute of p _val The enclosing rule's synthesized attribute. _r1, _r2... , _rN The enclosing rule's Nth inherited attribute. _a, _b... , _j The enclosing rule's local variables (_a refers to the first). _pass Assign false to _pass to force a parser failure. For example in this code : template <typename Iterator>bool parse_numbers(Iterator first, Iterator last, std::vector<double>& v){ using qi::double_; using qi::phrase_parse; using qi::_1; using ascii::space; using phoenix::push_back; using phoenix::ref; bool r = phrase_parse(first, last, // Begin grammar ( *double_[push_back(ref(v), _1)] >> *(',' >> double_[push_back(ref(v), _1)])* ) , // End grammar space); if (first != last) // fail if we did not get a full match return false; return r;} why using _1, (using qi::_1) instead of _2 (using qi::_2). Which parts of boost should I read before reading spirit. Any suggestion is welcome. Thank you. Regards Olivier

[Exception] Duplicate symbol error when using errinfo_api_function in static library
by Georg Leidinger 03 Oct '13

03 Oct '13

Dear readers, I encountered a problem in my project when using *Boost.Exception* with the predefined types errinfo_xyz in a library project. I have two classes ClassA and ClassB in my library which both throw a boost::exception with errinfo_api_function type in their implementation file (.cpp) These both classes are compiled into a static library with the C/C++-Flags -fvisibility=hidden. Then I have a main.cpp which creates an instance of ClassA and ClassB and links to the library which contains ClassA.o and ClassB.o. When I compile the main.cpp I get the linker error duplicate symbol for the errinfo_api_function object in ClassA.o and ClassB.o. If I remove the visibility=hidden flag, it links without problems. I am not an expert on the compiler flags, but I saw that many libraries use the visibility=hidden flag so I think it would be good, if my lib could also use it. For a better description I will show the sources for my project: ClassA.h ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #pragma once #include <boost/exception/all.hpp> struct my_errorA : virtual std::exception, virtual boost::exception {}; class ClassA { public: ClassA() {}; virtual ~ClassA() {}; virtual void doSomething(); }; ClassA.cpp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #include "ClassA.h" void ClassA::doSomething() { BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION( my_errorA() << boost::errinfo_api_function("doSomething") ); } ClassB.h ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #pragma once #include <boost/exception/all.hpp> struct my_errorB : virtual std::exception, virtual boost::exception {}; class ClassB { public: ClassB() {}; virtual ~ ClassB() {}; virtual void doSomething(); }; ClassB.cpp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #include "ClassB.h" void ClassB::doSomething() { BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION( my_errorB() << boost::errinfo_api_function("doSomething") ); } main.cpp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #include "ClassA.h" #include "ClassB.h" int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) { ClassA A; ClassB B; return 0; } The Linker output: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Ld /Users/georg/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ExceptionTest-dcnvciwqbwqvciaokkjjaqchftll/Build/Products/Debug/ExceptionTest normal i386 cd /Users/georg/work/ExceptionTest setenv MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET 10.8 /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/clang++ -arch i386 -isysroot /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk -L/Users/georg/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ExceptionTest-dcnvciwqbwqvciaokkjjaqchftll/Build/Products/Debug -F/Users/georg/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ExceptionTest-dcnvciwqbwqvciaokkjjaqchftll/Build/Products/Debug -filelist /Users/georg/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ExceptionTest-dcnvciwqbwqvciaokkjjaqchftll/Build/Intermediates/ExceptionTest.build/Debug/ExceptionTest.build/Objects-normal/i386/ExceptionTest.LinkFileList -mmacosx-version-min=10.8 /Users/georg/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ExceptionTest-dcnvciwqbwqvciaokkjjaqchftll/Build/Products/Debug/libExceptionLib.a -o /Users/georg/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ExceptionTest-dcnvciwqbwqvciaokkjjaqchftll/Build/Products/Debug/ExceptionTest duplicate symbol __ZTIPN5boost21errinfo_api_function_E in: /Users/georg/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ExceptionTest-dcnvciwqbwqvciaokkjjaqchftll/Build/Products/Debug/libExceptionLib.a(ClassA.o) /Users/georg/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ExceptionTest-dcnvciwqbwqvciaokkjjaqchftll/Build/Products/Debug/libExceptionLib.a(ClassB.o) duplicate symbol __ZTSPN5boost21errinfo_api_function_E in: /Users/georg/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ExceptionTest-dcnvciwqbwqvciaokkjjaqchftll/Build/Products/Debug/libExceptionLib.a(ClassA.o) /Users/georg/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ExceptionTest-dcnvciwqbwqvciaokkjjaqchftll/Build/Products/Debug/libExceptionLib.a(ClassB.o) ld: 2 duplicate symbols for architecture i386 clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hope I described the problem well enough and I hope someone can explain what the problem is?

[parameter] named template parameters
by ilya shlyakhter 03 Oct '13

03 Oct '13

Some questions about the Boost.Parameter library: - seems like it hasn't been updated in some time -- is it still supported? - when specifying type constraints for named template parameters, is it possible to specify constraints among several type parameters (the way graph_type is used in section 2.1.5.6.1 of the documentation) - are there any issues in the interaction of Boost.Parameter and template specialization, i.e. how do I specialize the template on the values of some of the named parameters? Thanks, ilya

[serialization] map of shared_ptr
by Sebastian Messerschmidt 03 Oct '13

03 Oct '13

Hi folks, I stumbled over a strange behavior in the serialization. Basically I want to write multiple entries into the same archive. The data is a map of an index and some shared_ptr for the values. Writing/reading are working but produce wrong results with the provided minimal example. I'm using boost 1.49 under Visual Studio 2010 64bit. I've also tried the code without the use of shared_ptr and without a map. Both version are working fine. The combination however fails. What am I doing wrong? cheers Sebastian <snip> #include <map> #include <fstream> #include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/access.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/map.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/shared_ptr.hpp> #include <boost/archive/binary_iarchive.hpp> #include <boost/archive/binary_oarchive.hpp> struct Test { template <class Archive> void serialize(Archive& ar, const unsigned int /*version*/) { ar & c; } Test() :c(0) {} int c; }; typedef std::map<int, boost::shared_ptr<Test>> TestMap; void save(const TestMap& m) { static std::ofstream os("d:/tmp/somedata.bin", std::ios_base::binary); static boost::archive::binary_oarchive oa(os); oa << m; } void load(TestMap& m) { static std::ifstream is("d:/tmp/somedata.bin", std::ios_base::binary); static boost::archive::binary_iarchive ia(is); ia >> m; } int main(int argc, char** argv) { TestMap t; t.insert(std::make_pair(1, new Test())); //save #if 1 for (unsigned int i = 0; i< 100; ++i) { t[1]->c++; save(t); std::cout << t[1]->c << std::endl; } #else //load //This fails, c will always be the first serialized value for (unsigned int i = 0; i< 100; ++i) { load(t); std::cout << t[1]->c << std::endl; } #endif } </snip>

calc2_ast.cpp
by Olivier Austina 03 Oct '13

03 Oct '13

Hi, this is a basic question (I am sorry). I am try to undestand the calc2_ast.cpp example at http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_41_0/libs/spirit/example/qi/calc2_ast.cpp I think the instruction expression_ast() : expr(nil()){} is an inheritance. Where can I find the definition of expr()? This is the code struct expression_ast { typedef boost::variant< nil // can't happen! , unsigned int , boost::recursive_wrapper<expression_ast> , boost::recursive_wrapper<binary_op> , boost::recursive_wrapper<unary_op> > type; * expression_ast() : expr(nil()){};* template <typename Expr> expression_ast(Expr const& expr) : expr(expr) {} expression_ast& operator+=(expression_ast const& rhs); expression_ast& operator-=(expression_ast const& rhs); expression_ast& operator*=(expression_ast const& rhs); expression_ast& operator/=(expression_ast const& rhs); type expr; }; //expression_ast bbb; struct binary_op { binary_op( char op , expression_ast const& left , expression_ast const& right) : op(op), left(left), right(right) {} char op; expression_ast left; expression_ast right; }; Thank you.

[Program_Options] Why multiple_occurrences::get_option_name() and validation_error::what() disappear since 1.50 version?
by Romain LEGUAY 03 Oct '13

03 Oct '13

Hello everyone, I make a library using Boost Program Options (version 1.44). I have some "Undefined symbols" (for multiple_occurrences::get_option_name() and validation_error::what()) when I try to use my library with Boost version 1.5x. Does anyone know why those two methods disappear? Thank you! -- *Romain LEGUAY* Ingénieur Jeune Diplômé Projet Realopt A33-IMB Bureau 270 Tel: +33 5 40 00 21 35

Valgrind errors with ASIO
by Bo Jensen 03 Oct '13

03 Oct '13

Hi, I have build a job queue with a combination io_service, io_service::work, packaged_task and a thread group. I am seeing randomly either segfaults or strange asserts in pthread or even malloc, which suggest to me memory is being corrupted somehow. The problem is it does not show in debug mode running under valgrind, but if I run valgrind on the non debug version I get valgrind errors in pthreads called from asio. I try to downgrade my boost lib from 1.54 to 1.52, but still the same. I am completely stuck on this, does anyone have some hints to possible causes ? I can not show the complete source since it's not possible to isolate, but here's the types I have : std::vector<boost::shared_ptr<ExceptionTransfer> > io_error_; std::vector<boost::shared_future<BasisSelectRet> > io_future_; boost::asio::io_service io_service_threads_; boost::shared_ptr<boost::asio::io_service::work> io_work_; boost::thread_group io_threads_; I am calling it ala like this : /* Create new tasks */ basistasks_[workerid] = boost::make_shared<boost::packaged_task<BasisSelectRet> >(boost::bind(&CallBasisSelection,&worker,boost::ref(io_error_[workerid]))); /* Make threads */ io_service_threads_.post(boost::bind(&boost::packaged_task<BasisSelectRet>::operator(),basistasks_[workerid])); io_future_[workerid] = basistasks_[workerid]->get_future().share(); The called function is defined as follows (BasisSelectRet is just a enum) : /* Helper function */ BasisSelectRet CallBasisSelection(TreeWorker *worker, boost::shared_ptr<ExceptionTransfer> &error) { BasisSelectRet ret = BasisSelectRetOk; try { worker->BasisSelection(); } catch( ... ) { error->SetException(boost::current_exception()); } return ret; } I can wait for a job to finish like this : boost::wait_for_any(io_future_.begin(),io_future_.end()); Here's the val grind errors : ==3723== by 0xB5D77BF: ??? ==3723== ==3723== Thread 5: ==3723== Invalid read of size 4 ==3723== at 0x6506C01:

[Spirit/qi] parsing order, exact matches
by beet 02 Oct '13

02 Oct '13

Dear Boost-User list, I have modified the calc6-example from the Spirit docs, so that it uses double variables rather than integers. I have then added a number of mathematical functions. The rule for the unary functions (reduced to just sin and sinh here for readability) is: unary_function_rule_ = (string_("sin") > '(' > expression_rule_ > ')') | (string_("sinh") > '(' > expression_rule_ > ')') ; I would have expected the "sin" part of the rule to trigger only when there is a "sin" string, which is immediately followed by a '('. This works o.k. when the function in question really contains a sin(). However, when I pass a "sinh()", I get an error message that it failed parsing a "h(", so the "sin" part of the message has triggered. Changing the order of sinh and sin in the rule cures the problem. Still I would like to understand how I can make the sin-part of the rule only trigger for expressions like "sin(3.14)", but not for e.g. "sinh(2)". Thanks and best regards, Beet

[Geometry] Triangulation?
by David Hynd 02 Oct '13

02 Oct '13

Hi, I want to use the boolean/CSG operations of the Geometry library of Boost, but I need the resultant polygons to be triangles (it's 3D data, by the way). Is there a way to achieve this with Boost? Or if not, what recommendations would you have for me? This is my first ever mailing list post, so forgive me if I didn't get it right :) Thanks, David

[Iostreams] Zlib compression sometimes creates corrupt data on OSX
by Michael Jung 02 Oct '13

02 Oct '13

Hello, I’m having the following problem with my program: If I save data on OSX using a boost::iostreams::filtering_ostream with a boost::iostreams::zlib_compressor() the resulting file is sometimes corrupted. The following example code reproduces the problem: #include <fstream> #include <iostream> #include <vector> #include <boost/iostreams/filtering_stream.hpp> #include <boost/iostreams/filter/zlib.hpp> int main(int argc, char** argv) { if (argc != 2) return 1; std::ifstream file(argv[1]); if (file) { file.seekg(0, std::ios::end); std::streampos length = file.tellg(); file.seekg(0, std::ios::beg); std::vector<char> buffer1(length); std::vector<char> buffer2(length); file.read(&buffer1[0], length); { std::ofstream ofs("test.dat", std::ios_base::binary); boost::iostreams::filtering_ostream fos; fos.push(boost::iostreams::zlib_compressor()); fos.push(ofs); fos.write(&buffer1[0], length); } { std::ifstream ifs("test.dat", std::ios_base::binary); boost::iostreams::filtering_istream fis; fis.push(boost::iostreams::zlib_decompressor()); fis.push(ifs); fis.read(&buffer2[0], length); } std::cout << (buffer1 == buffer2 ? "equal" : "not equal") << std::endl; } } This piece of code reads a file that is specified as command line argument, compresses and saves it to “test.dat”, reloads and decompresses it and then compares the result with the content of the original file. Using it with two files linked below leads to the following output: $ ./bugtest example1_working.txt equal $ ./bugtest example1_not_working.txt not equal i.e. in the second case the compression creates corrupt data. I verified that the problem is in the compression part by trying to decompress test.dat on Linux using zlib-flate which gives an error (incorrect data check). If I compress the file manually on Linux using zlib-flate and decompress it on OSX with code similar to the above, the input file is reproduced correctly. The two files used above are save files of my software. You can download them from: http://neptun.iup.uni-heidelberg.de/files/example1_working.txt http://neptun.iup.uni-heidelberg.de/files/example1_not_working.txt Another pair of files with the problem is: http://neptun.iup.uni-heidelberg.de/files/example2_working.txt http://neptun.iup.uni-heidelberg.de/files/example2_not_working.txt I haven’t been able to find out what is special about the ones causing the problem, so I just put them up as they are. The files are quite similar, but show a few differences on every (or almost every?) line. If needed, I can create other pairs of files showing the same problem. I compiled the above code in the following way: c++ -stdlib=libc++ -std=c++11 test.cpp -I /Users/michael/projects/boost-svn-build/include/ -c c++ -stdlib=libc++ -std=c++11 -o test test.o /Users/michael/projects/boost-svn-build/lib/libboost_iostreams.a -lz The boost libraries were built from svn as follows: ./bootstrap.sh --prefix=../boost-svn-build --with-libraries=iostreams --with-toolset=clang ./b2 -j6 link=static toolset=clang cxxflags="-std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++" linkflags="-stdlib=libc++" install Clang version is: “Apple LLVM version 4.2 (clang-425.0.28) (based on LLVM 3.2svn)” I am running OS X 10.8.2. The same files are compressed correctly with the above code on Linux, compiled with GCC 4.6.3. I think this problem might be a bug in boost or maybe also in the llvm libraries (c.f. https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8150 , which looks like a similar problem). Compiling boost with zlib 1.2.8 instead of using zlib 1.2.5, which is shipped with OSX, leads to the same problem. Both Boost 1.54.0 and the svn version are affected. Should I create a ticket for this on the bug tracker? Or is this just me using the library incorrectly?? Best regards, Michael -- Michael Jung michaeljung(a)mailhaven.com

Boost.Coroutine + objects

Hello guys, I am using Boost Coroutines but I would like to use them in a Objected-Oriented way. So, I tried to rewrite parallel.cpp (boost/libs/coroutine/example) using the example functions like class methods, but it did not work. This is my code, anybody can help me? My code: typedef boost::coroutines::coroutine< void() > coroutine_t; class Abc{ public: void first( coroutine_t::caller_type & self) { std::cout << "started first! "; for ( int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) { self(); std::cout << "a" << i; } } void second( coroutine_t::caller_type & self) { std::cout << "started second!

returning range adaptor generator
by Nick Stokes 02 Oct '13

02 Oct '13

What should be the return type for a function that returns an adapted range? E.g. template<class Range> xxx getIndirected( const Range& r ) { return r | boost::adaptors::indirected; } The use case being, providing a API with these little useful helpers without forcing the user to know about Boost.Range at all. Like so: #include <myapi.hpp> #include <boost/foreach.hpp> LegacyPointerContainers f; // contains Foo pointers BOOST_FOREACH( Foo& f, TraverseFoo( f ) ) { } /// where in myapi.hpp xxx TraverseFoo( LegacyPointerContainers& f ) { return getIndirected( makeRange(f) ) ; } PS: This is all C++03. No autos. Thanks Nick

Tree traversal in boost spirit
by Olivier Austina 30 Sep '13

30 Sep '13

Hi, I would like to traverse a parsed tree. The parsing is fine. I am using this tutorial : http://en.highscore.de/cpp/boost/parser.html This is the instruction used for parsing : boost::spirit::parse_info<> pi = boost::spirit::parse(data.c_str(), g, boost::spirit::space_p); I would like to traverse the parsed tree like classical tree (Pre-order, In-order, Post-order) to have data in a given order. Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thank you. Regards Olivier

[Graph] Stable topological_sort? And topological_sort woes in general.
by Dominique Devienne 30 Sep '13

30 Sep '13

I'm sorting a set of SQL tables with foreign-key constraints. I'm currently using BGL's topological_sort for that, but struggled quite a bit because: * I didn't manage to adapt my own data-structure, so ended-up sorting indices to an array of my entries, and generated the edges as indice pairs on in this array (like the doc example). * Discovered via unit testing topological_sort didn't like vertices with no associated edges (a "free standing" table, with no relationships), so I'm "manually" removing those. * Discovered via unit testing topological_sort didn't like "duplicate" edges (a table with several columns referencing the same parent table), so I'm also manually removing those too. I confess to not trying to fully understand the BGL, nor to have read the book. Given what I was trying to do, as outlined above, was using topological_sort really the best tool for the job? What are the alternatives, if any? For my own education, why "singleton" vertices and duplicate edges make topological_sort break? But what brings me here today is to ask about a "stable" topo-sort. When I have several vertices which are all "unrelated" and thus sort at the same "level", topological_sort does not preserve the relative order of those "sibling" vertices, and I'd like something fully deterministic that I can count on. What are my options? Does BGL provide something like this? As a concrete example, given tables A, B, C, with A depending on both B, C, topological_sort gives me the C, B, A order (or adding the "levels" (C, B), A), while I'd like B, C, A, i.e. preserving the relative order of B, C. Thanks for any insight. --DD PS: What about getting a topo-sort, but which also gives you the "levels", so that you can schedule those independent tasks (on each level) in parallel for example? Does BGL provide something like this? I've done it in the past with the help of the Sedgewick book, but I see a single topo-sort in BGL.

[Serialization] How do I make boost::serialization work with std::shared_ptr?
by Arman Schwarz 30 Sep '13

30 Sep '13

Hi everyone, this is my first post so I apologies if I got some of the housekeeping wrong. I did my best. I also realise that this is likely to be a common question but all the responses I could find on Stackoverflow (among others) were related to older implementations of boost. My understanding is that Boost 1.54 is supposed to support `std::shared_ptr`. To illustrate the issue I am having, suppose we want to serialize a class containing a vector of shared pointers, along with a static `load` function that will build the class from a file and a `save` function that will store the instance to a file, and suppose that we can't just use the `serialize` member function for whatever reason (this particular example doesn't really illustrate such a case but in my code I can't use the `serialize` member function so this example doesn't use it either): #include <boost/archive/text_iarchive.hpp> #include <boost/archive/text_oarchive.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/vector.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/shared_ptr.hpp> #include <fstream> #include <memory> #include <vector> class A { public: std::vector<std::shared_ptr<int>> v; void A::Save(char * const filename); static A * const Load(char * const filename); ////////////////////////////////// // Boost Serialization: // private: friend class boost::serialization::access; template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int file_version) {} }; // save the world to a file: void A::Save(char * const filename) { // create and open a character archive for output std::ofstream ofs(filename); // save data to archive { boost::archive::text_oarchive oa(ofs); // write the pointer to file oa << this; } } // load world from file A * const A::Load(char * const filename) { A * a; // create and open an archive for input std::ifstream ifs(filename); boost::archive::text_iarchive ia(ifs); // read class pointer from archive ia >> a; return a; } namespace boost { namespace serialization { template<class Archive> inline void save_construct_data( Archive & ar, A const * t, unsigned const int file_version ) { ar << t->v; } template<class Archive> inline void load_construct_data( Archive & ar, A * t, const unsigned int file_version ) { ar >> t->v; } } } int main() { } Why doesn't this code compile? What am I doing wrong here? The error message states that 'serialize' is not a member of 'shared_ptr'. Why am I am getting this message?

by Olivier Austina 28 Sep '13

28 Sep '13

Hi, I try to use pattern matching approach for a dataset with multilevel tags. Suppose we have 2 sets of features: F and H with the following tags F={f0, f1, f2, f3} and H={h0, h1, h2, h3, h4} to describe a set of elements E={e1, e2, e3.....en}. We have in a table a sequence of E elements describe as following: E e1 e2 e3 e4 e5 e6 e7 e8 ...........en F *f3 f0 f0 f0* f2 *f3 f0 * f2 f0 H h4 h0 h4 *h1* h0 h2 *h3* h2 h1 The order in which e1, e2 e3...... appear is important as words in a sentence. Suppose we have the following RE with f3 and f0 as following: f3f0+ . It will match the corresponding sequence e1, e2, e3, e4 and e6, e7 in E. Now we want to add additional constraint as the last f0 should map a h1 in H. In this case the final result will be only the sequence e1, e2, e3, e4 because in the last sequence e6, e7 the f0 map h3 in H.The final result is always E sequences but the RE and constraint can be based on E, F or H. May be it becomes a bit clear. Thank for your help.

This would be ok for '[not] within *.svg', '(2-5).svg' but would fail for '1.svg'. However in those cases there would be uu there so it might be used as well. So I guess if there are some 'u|i' operations we should check if all (or some) points are inside.

As I said before, holes are processed correctly automatically for any turn. You don't have to process any turn special for any hole. So i is intersection, this is Ok. But u is union, then the within should fail. The interior is really the inside of a polygon, not the hole. That is outside.... Or maybe I did not understand your mail. I never handle holes separately in any turn in the whole traverse process. As long as the direction is ccw (for a cw polygon), it all goes ok. The interior is always on the right side. Of course, as we discussed before, if a hole does not have any turnpoints, we should check it separately and differently, not with turn info Regards, Barend Sent from iPad.

[Container] Using container of BOOST_MOVABLE_BUT_NOT_COPYABLE type with std algorithm
by kwanti 27 Sep '13

27 Sep '13

I try to use std::remove_if with boost.container of BOOST_MOVABLE_BUT_NOT_COPYABLE type in c++98 compiler. The compilation failed because std::remove_if in c++98 is not implemented with boost.move emulation. Is there any implementation of remove_if in boost that is implemented with boost.move? I found one remove_if algorithm in boost.range library but I can't find in the documentation whether it is using boost.move emulation. -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/Container-Using-container-of-BOOST-MOVAB… Sent from the Boost - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Running Regular expression (RE) over a list, array or map
by Olivier Austina 27 Sep '13

27 Sep '13

Hi, I am wondering if it is possible to run directly regular expression over a list and getting the indexes (begging and end) of the match. For example, I have a list of strings and a regular expression and I want to know which part of the list matches the RE and get the corresponding indexes in the list. Any suggestion is welcome. Thank you. Regards Olivier

Linux TCP session stays ESTABLISHED when interface is removed
by Chris Verges 26 Sep '13

26 Sep '13

Hi all, I'm experiencing an odd phenomenon when using Boost ASIO 1.46.1. (I know it's older, but this was inherited.) Under normal operation, everything is fine. I can create a TCP server socket, listen, and accept as expected. If I disconnect the TCP client gracefully, everything resets as expected. However, if I physically remove the network interface -- such as yanking the USB adapter out of its socket -- the TCP session stills reports as ESTABLISHED via netstat and the application receives no read error. I'm at a bit of a loss how this is possible when the underlying OS shows that the interface no longer exists yet the socket is blocking away happily. Has anyone else experienced similar symptoms? Any advice? Thanks in advance, Chris

ASIO UDP Communication stops working when entering a thread
by Ulf Samuelsson 25 Sep '13

25 Sep '13

Have created a class to allow UDP communication using ASIO // Header class UdpClient { public: UdpClient(); void Open(string ipaddr, string port); void Send(string packet); void Close(); private: bool init; string ipAddress; string Port; udp::endpoint Endpoint; udp::socket *pSocket; udp::socket *s; }; // Part of code void UdpClient::Open(string ipaddr, string port) { ipAddress = ipaddr; Port = port; boost::asio::io_service io_service; udp::resolver resolver(io_service); udp::resolver::query query(udp::v4(), ipaddr,port); Endpoint = *resolver.resolve(query); pSocket = new udp::socket(io_service); pSocket->open(udp::v4()); pSocket->send_to(boost::asio::buffer(first.c_str(), first.size()), Endpoint); std::cout << "Opening port [" + Port + "] on " + ipAddress + "\n"; init = true; } void UdpClient::Send(string packet) { if (init) { pSocket->send_to(boost::asio::buffer(packet.c_str(), packet.size()), Endpoint); } } --------------- Another class implements more advanced communication. // Extracts extern UdpClient endpoint; void UdpDebug::WriteLine(string line) { line = "[" + Clock.Now() + "]" + line; endpoint.Send(line); }; ------------------------ In my main program i declare two global variables. UdpDebug DebugPort; UdpClient endpoint; The I init the UDP communication by calling endpoint.Open(IPAddress, UDPPort); after that I can write to the UDP enpoint by: DebugPort.WriteLine("Debug working!"); Have declared a thread: boost::thread t1(Initialize); void Initialize() { DebugPort.WriteLine("Debug working in the thread"); for (int i = 0; i < MAX; ++i) { wait(1); std::cout << "Thread 1: " << i << std::endl; } } When I do t1.join(); The thread starts printing out "Thread1: <number>" on the terminal but no UDP output is received on the other end. Any clues why this won't work? Are starting two threads, but only one of them is attempting UDP communication. If I put a wait statement inside the main program, and attempt UDP communication after the threads have executed a few seconds, this will still work. Also tried creating a new instance of UdpClient inside the thread. Opened it, and tried to send data, to no avail. Any clues? BR Ulf Samuelsson

BGL (Boost Graph Library) MaxWeightedMatching algorithm
by Pablo Madoery 25 Sep '13

25 Sep '13

Hello, i want to use an algorithm called MaxWeightedMatching : Edmond's blossom shrinking algorithm for calculating maximum weighted matching in general graphs. I note that there is an algorithm in BGL called 1. edmonds_maximum_cardinality_matching<http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/libs/graph/doc/maximum_matching.html> but this is not what I want. I need to take in count the weights. I would like to know if this algorithm can be taken in count in the next version of Boost or if you can tell me some advices to implement it using BGL. The MaxWeightedMatching algorithm is already implemented in LEMON library: http://www.loco.ic.unicamp.br/~msambinelli/lemon_doc/a00537.html. Thanks for your time.

How to correctly run Boost.Python?
by Wenlong Wang 25 Sep '13

25 Sep '13

Hi, All This is my first message at this mailing list, apologies first if I raised some simple question. I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Express Version, and Python 2.7. My boost version is 1.54.0. I followed the Boost Library instruction at http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#i nstall-boost-build And successfully build Boost in my computer with a message "The Boost C++ Libraries were successfully built!" My Boost path is "C:\local\boost_1_54_0" Then I want to run Boost.Python, and find it requires to be built separately. So, I found Boost.Python Library instructions at http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/libs/python/doc/building.html#basic -procedure In step 3.1 Basic Procedure, the Boost.Python Library instructions lead me back to Boost Library instruction section 5, at where I installed the Boost.Build at "C:\local\boost_1_54_0\BoostBuild". And "C:\local\boost_1_54_0\BoostBuild\bin" has been added to my Path environment variable. So now I am back to the Boost.Python Library instructions at section 3.1.3. I followed the instruction and cd into the "C:\local\boost_1_54_0\libs\python\example\quickstart". The next step, according to the instruction is : Invoke bjam. Replace the "stage" argument from the example invocation from section 5 of the Getting Started Guide <http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/more/getting_started/index.html> with "test," to build all the test targets. Also add the argument "--verbose-test" to see the output generated by the tests when they are run. On Windows, your bjam invocation might look something like: C:\boost_1_34_0\...\quickstart> bjam toolset=msvc --verbose-test test Then I got 135 unresolved external errors. One of them is as follows: exec.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__PyEval_GetGlobals referenced in function "class boost::python::api::object __cdecl boost::python::eval(class boost::python::str,class boost::python::api::object,class boost::python::api::object)" (?eval@python@boost@@YA?AVobject@api@12@Vstr@12@V3412@1@Z) ..\..\..\..\bin.v2\libs\python\build\msvc-11.0\debug\boost_python-vc110- gd-1_54.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 135 unresolved externals May I know what am I wrong?

[BGL] memory leak in graph/r_c_shortest_paths.hpp
by potato_research 24 Sep '13

24 Sep '13

Hello, I'm using BGL in my project and, with some input data, I get - sooner or later, as I run r_c_shortest_paths many times - a segfault. This behaviour is apparently quite random, as I can see by implementing a custom visitor that the last label evaluated before the crash changes all the time. I must also say that the graph I use, while always having the same topological structure, has different properties that affect labelling each time I run the algorithm and these vary quite randomly from one run to the other, as they are generated by a random heuristics. Anyway, with one particular set of input data, I manage to have the program segfault (as I said, sooner or later) 100% of the times. This is far from being an MWE, but it's the best I could produce. I tried to debug the memory leak with valgrind and it turns out that r_c_shortest_paths_dispatch is trying to access memory in a block previously freed by: l_alloc.deallocate( cur_outer_splabel.get(), 1 ); in r_c_shortest_paths.hpp:314. After some debugging I started to believe that the problem doesn't rely with my code, but it might be a bug in r_c_shortest_paths.hpp. If this is actually the case and where the problem lies, though, I haven't been able to figure out with certainty. The output from valgrind can be found here: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=WWafwFv3 (output cleaned up and with templates substituted) http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=cb3p6jzM (raw output intended to facilitate reading and with templates substituted) http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=qeauBQTm (raw output indented to facilitate reading) http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=hpppf49c (raw output) My code (the whole project) can be found here: https://github.com/alberto-santini/maritime-vrp In order to run it, one must have a licensed copy of CPLEX and change the include and library paths in the Makefile's accordingly. Unfortunately, without putting the labelling part inside a price-and-branch procedure (that uses CPLEX as a solver for the master problem) I wasn't able to produce input data by hand that would lead me to obtain the segfault. I understand this is not the best way to investigate into a bug and will be happy to provide any further help if requested to.

Re: [Boost-users] [boost] cross-compilation x86_64-w64-ming32: undefined reference to `InterlockedIncrement'
by Frédéric Bron 23 Sep '13

> I probably missed the original problem, but the patch doesn't look correct > to me. The section guarded with "defined( BOOST_MSVC ) || defined( > BOOST_INTEL_WIN )" is obviously targeted for compilers supporting > interlocked intrinsics, which gcc isn't. MinGW should probably be handled > by the last section of the #if/elif/endif sequence. Anyway, what problem > are you trying to fix? Here is what I get when build an application with boost and mingw-w64 targeting x86_64: /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys- root/mingw/lib/../lib/libboost_thread-mt.a(thread.o):(.text+0x286): undefined reference to `InterlockedIncrement' /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/../lib/libboost_thread-mt.a(thread.o):(.text+0x3e7): undefined reference to `InterlockedDecrement' /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/4.8.1/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld: /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/../lib/libboost_thread-mt.a(thread.o): bad reloc address 0x8 in section `.data' I have been able to solve this by defining BOOST_USE_WINDOWS_H but this creates issues with Unicode when I also use wxWidgets. The patch proposed solves the issue. I recognise that I say that gcc should be considered as MSVC with regards to these Interlocked things which I do not understand. It may seem strange but it works. What's wrong with it? Basically, I just #include <intrin.h>; what's wrong with that? Frédéric

So I eventually managed to fix the issue with interlocked.hpp and mingw-w64: both i686 and x86_64 now work. Attached is a patch against 1.54.0. Is it possible to include this in 1.55.0? Regards, Frédéric

Multiple instance of options
by Ulf Samuelsson 23 Sep '13

23 Sep '13

Need to parse an "ini" file which configures one or more sensors. The sensors can be of the same type and are identified by "name", "type" and an "id" Some configuration items are for all sensors Other configuration tiems are only for some sensors. [sensor] SensorName="Outdoor Temp" SensorType=1 # Temp Sensor SensorID=1000 SerialNumber="12344" Active=1 Device="/dev/ttyUSB01" [sensor] SensorName="Indoor Temp" SensorType=1 # Temp Sensor SensorID=1001 SerialNumber="12345" Active=1 Device="/dev/USB02" [sensor] SensorName="Light" SensorType=2 # Light Sensor SensorID=1002 SerialNumber="12349" Active=1 Device="/dev/ttyUSB02" MaxLumen="500" Is having multiple identical section names possible with boost program options? It is of course possible to do [sensor_1] ... [sensor_2] ... [sensor_3] ... but that is not so nice looking, and you get a hard limit on the number of sensors you can attach. Ideas?

Question about boost.build and automatic selection of toolsets
by Mauricio Carneiro 22 Sep '13

22 Sep '13

I am using boost-build in my project (very happy with the outcome) but I would like to have the toolset selected automatically based on the operating system. Currently I am running successfully from the command line by manually setting the toolset when I am running it from macos and linux accordingly, but I feel like the Jamroot file should be able to figure that out for me. Any ideas? I made a more descriptive post on stack overflow, to share the knowledge once we figure this one out. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18939911/choosing-compiler-options-based… Thank you, Mauricio Carneiro, Ph.D. http://www.broadinstitute.org/~carneiro/

units
by Robert Ramey 22 Sep '13

22 Sep '13

I have a program in which there is the notion of consumption rate such as m^3/sec, gallons/hour, etc. I have consumption_rate unit defined in terms of si units. I read in a quanity in gallons/hour and so far so good. If I display the quantity it is displayed as m^3/sec. This displays the "compound units" as expected - very cool. All this is OK as far as it goes. When I try to display the quantity as gallons/hour again I have a whole host of problems. The attached test fill illustrates the issues. The only way I've been able to do is is by making a complete end run around the units system itself - sort of self defeating. I would appreciate insight anyone might be able to offer into this issue.

Boost::Bind Problem

Newbie boost::spirit rule semantic action question
by LeMay.Steve 21 Sep '13

21 Sep '13

Brand-newbie boost::spirit::qi question. MSVS2012, boost 1.54 I have a response from a serial device that provides with 0 or more "profiles" in a given character format. I want to capture the number of profile responses in the list (semantic action) as well as have the value into the final result (std::vector<std::string>). How do I properly express this? Given the input.... (in this case, there are zero profiles returned) *ARSS:0<CR><LF>OK<CR><LF> Expect a vector of strings containing "*ARSS" "0" "OK" This sub-rule fails to return... (Not failing to parse) boost::spirit::qi::rule<Iter, std::vector<std::string>(), boost::spirit::qi::locals<int, std::string>> service_search_list; service_search_list %= // %= operator is necessary for attribute propagation when using symantic attributes (anything in [ ]) string ("*ARSS") >> colon >> // Initial response +digit [qi::_a = qi::_1] >> crlf >> // Number of discovered devices - save in local qi::_a qi::omit [ok [qi::_b = qi::_1]] >> // Match but don't emit the "OK" here - save it for the end qi::repeat (qi::_a) // Repeat for each discovered device [ crlf >> ( qi::hold [profile1] | qi::hold [profile2] ... ) ] >> qi::attr(qi::_b); // Emit the "OK" here at the end of the list Using qi::int_[qi::_a = qi::_1] provides and empty string "" in the result and not "0". If I omit the numeric input from the result... qi::omit [qi::int_[qi::_a = qi::_1]] the parse will succeed but number of items in the response list is lost in the final result (omitted as requested). Any suggestion is appreciated, I'm stumped.

[units] Convert from Degree Minutes to Degrees
by Ryan 21 Sep '13

21 Sep '13

Angles have their own system that define both radians and degrees. I would like to create the necessary type for minutes (this is 1/60 of a degree). My first thought was to create a scale unit with degrees as the base type. I couldn't determine how to enter the scale of 1/60. The other option is to define a new base unit. I would think using the degrees base unit would be a good reference, but it uses an "INTERNAL ONLY" macro call "BOOST_UNITS_DEFINE_BASE_UNIT_WITH_CONVERSIONS". What should I use to create a unit type that will convert from degree minutes to just degrees? Ryan

Getting ASIO application to link (undefined reference to `boost::system::generic_category())
by Ulf Samuelsson 20 Sep '13

20 Sep '13

Hi, Trying to get an ASIO example (udp_echo_client) to build on an Ubuntu 12.04 machine. It looks like both 1.46 and 1.48 can be installed. (I have installed 1.48). The libboost*.so all are linked vs 1.48, and the /usr/include/boost/version.hpp contains #define BOOST_LIB_VERSION "1_48" so I think that there should not be a version mismatch, I can build some really simple examples but, as soon as I add "asio" with the statement below, the build fails. using boost::asio::ip::udp; Fiirst problem is that `boost::system::generic_category()' is missing. When I grep the libboost libraries, they are only found in "libboost_[file]system[-mt].so" but these files are included in the link. Searching on Internet, also tells me to link with those libraries, which is not a help. Tried with "-mt" version as well. Added #include <boost/system/error_code.hpp> #include <boost/system/linux_error.hpp> without any change. What is going on? Running out of ideas...

I tried that and it worked until I realized that including windows.h causes me lots of troubles in another library (wxWidgets) so that I cannot use this solution.

Variadic versions of all the vector200 map50 stuff
by Michael Steinberg 19 Sep '13

19 Sep '13

Hello, I'm currently tracking down all the slowdowns I encounter when using boost in my Visual Studio solutions. Much of the slowdowns seem to happen, because there's a wide inclusion-usage of <boost/typeof/vector.hpp> throughout boost. This seems to be a replicate of <boost/mpl/vector.hpp>, which is not as much used, but equally evil. Inclusion of any of these headers leads to a 20MB increase in Visual Studio IntelliSense database size. I tested to comment out the inclusion of all the generated <vectorXXX.hpp>. This indeed works fine and is a real relief in Visual Studio responsiveness, because although these headers seem to be included from everywhere, they dont seem to be actually used. Tracking down the inclusion paths proves difficult to me, because the Visual-Studio tool doesn't seem to be able to handle the Preprocessor-generated include directives that boost uses extensively (and I'm just a newbie). With the advent of variadic-enabled compilers (Visual Studio 2013RC just arrived), is anybody working on making this mpl-stuff variadic? That would be a major help for almost anybody using tools like IntelliSense or VisualAssist (the vector200.hpp is a wopping 2mb of totally redundant template goodness...). I think I could make the appropriate changes to my local copy, however I have no idea how to write proper boost-worthy code or even how to file it for inclusion. Also I'm not too sure why the different sized vectors have different names and if the client code relies on that, etc., but I could probably find out. Are there any "template-instantiation-coverage"-tests included, so I could check that my variadics are compatible in the use-cases? Any help would be appreciated! With Kind Regards Michael

Static map like array or range?
by Duane Murphy 18 Sep '13

18 Sep '13

I find myself often building lookup tables for conversion or mapping of one piece of data to another. Common conversions include * converting from one string to a different string (e.g. text translation), * converting from an enum to a descriptive string * converting from a string to an enum * converting from a string to a function or functor The key aspect of these lookup tables is that they are static. If the table is reasonably large, say 7-10 items, I ensure that the table is presorted and use lower_bounds() to search the table. Some uses have started using map_list_of() to initialize the map. My inner optimizer finds this disturbing as inherently static information is being allocated dynamically in order to due to the lookup. I believe it would be more intuitive if there was a map like interface to the lookup table. The implementation would use the static nature of the data to its advantage. In particular the implementation would not require the data to be copied, re-allocated, etc. I've been searching the boost libraries, but have not been able to find something like this. Thank you for your suggestions. …Duane

Copy fusion::vector -> {std,boost}::array

Checking the archives, I see that a *lot* was discussed on [1], and there was a mention (waaay after much debate and proposed solutions) on having a copy and copy_if to do such copies. Mr. Steven Watanabe mentioned a copy impl was lying around his computer [2]. Did it actually make it into Boost?

Generic “Observable” mixin based on Boost
by Павел Фролов 17 Sep '13

17 Sep '13

I find Observer pattern a very useful tool to decrease coupling between modules of a system. Boost provides Signals2 which can be used for that purpose. But adding Signal2 objects to arbitrary classes is not very convenient, because your must manually implement RegisterEvent/FireEvent functions. What I was looking for is a reusable mixin which could add “Observable” behavior to arbitrary class with minimal hassle. Ideally, the user of mixing must only provide event table which contains event tags and handler signatures, e.g. (in pseudocode): EventTable { EventA: void(), EventB: int(bool), ... } I came up with working proof of concept which uses CRTP-based mixin and traits class for event table declaration. I'm new to template meta-programming, so I'm looking forward to comments about possible improvements. In particular, I'm not very satisfied with syntax boost::fusion::pair<Show, boost::optional<boost::signals2::signal<void()>>> (see attachement). I think, I can do better by allowing user to specify just boost::fusion::pair<Show, void()> and then generate proper type with mpl::transform and/or fusion::transform. This way is shorter and implementation details (optional, signals2) are hidden from the user. The mixin code (full code with example usage in attachment): #include <utility> #include <boost/fusion/container/map.hpp> #include <boost/fusion/sequence/intrinsic/at_key.hpp> #include <boost/fusion/sequence/intrinsic/value_at_key.hpp> #include <boost/optional.hpp> #include <boost/signals2.hpp> #include <boost/utility/in_place_factory.hpp> //***************************************************************************** // EventSource mixin //***************************************************************************** // event source traits base (concrete event source must create specialization) template<typename ConcreteEventSource> struct Events; // event source mixin (using CRTP) template<typename ConcreteEventSource> class EventSource { public: typedef ::Events<ConcreteEventSource> Events; private: typedef typename Events::EventTable EventTable; // helper type generator template<typename Event> struct GetType { // boost::optional type typedef typename boost::fusion::result_of:: value_at_key<EventTable, Event>::type SignalWrapper; // boost::signal type for particular boost::optional type typedef typename SignalWrapper::value_type Signal; // slot return type for particular boost::signal type typedef typename Signal::result_type SignalReturnType; }; public: // connect event handler template<typename Event, typename Handler> void Connect(Handler&& handler) { GetSignal<Event>()->connect(std::move(handler)); } protected: // generate nullary signal template<typename Event> typename GetType<Event>::SignalReturnType FireEvent() { return GetSignal<Event>()->operator()(); } // generate unary signal template<typename Event, typename Arg1> typename GetType<Event>::SignalReturnType FireEvent(Arg1 arg1) { return GetSignal<Event>()->operator()(arg1); } // ... more overloads (MSVC does not support variadic templates) private: // creates signal if not exists, returns reference to it template<typename Event> typename GetType<Event>::SignalWrapper& GetSignal() { auto& signal = boost::fusion::at_key<Event>(signals_); if (!signal) signal = boost::in_place(); return signal; } EventTable signals_; };

[units]
by Robert Ramey 16 Sep '13

16 Sep '13

I have an urgent and definite need for the functionality which boost.units is meant to provide. The concept is quite simple so I had expected it to be relatively easy to use. I had anticipated spending a few hours perusing the documentation and examples, adding code to my application and moving on. T'was not to be. I'm now on day 3 (or 4?) trying to figure this thing out. The main hurdle is that the documentation is indecipherable. There are a number of templated classes defined which depend upon each other. I expect to find a page for each of the templates along with a description of what the template arguments should be. (Ideally these should be backed up with concept checking classes). Ideally there would be a small example showing how one would use these templates. It seems that the library is layered from low level ideas to higher level ones. The documentation touches on this - but its not really formalized. Theres a reference section which includes scores of things like base_units types for wide variety of units - but no where is there any indication how these should be used - not even in the examples are they used. There is a concept of "system" (of dimensions?) and the idea of mixing units from different systems and the idea that the same dimension (eg length) have multiple renderings in the system (nautical vs metric). I realize I've likely got this wrong and I'm not asking for anyone to explain this to me here - my point is that what should be very simple is incredibly confusing. I still haven't figured out whether it's only the documentation which is incomplete or if it is the actual logical design of the library itself is what's flawed. I'm still working on this. I don't remember much traffic on this list regarding this library and if I google information on boost C++ units library I don't get a whole lot of hits. This could mean that that the library is so easy to use no one ever needs to ask about it or it could be that almost no one every uses it. In Boost we don't gather statistics on usage by library so I don't which of these it might be. So my question is: Has anyone had good success with this library? How much effort did it take? What did you have to do to make it work. I would be curious about any other user feed back in these questions. Robert Ramey

I have had much the same experience as you. The library seems to hold a lot of promise and is from what I can see very sophisticated. But I had the same problems with the documentation and examples. I struggled for some time to figure out the difference between units and base units (and dimensions and base dimensions) and when you would use each. If someone could put together a decent tutorial I'm sure I would use this library quite frequently. -----Original Message----- From: Robert Ramey [ramey(a)rrsd.com<mailto:ramey@rrsd.com>] Sent: Sunday, September 15, 2013 01:14 PM Eastern Standard Time To: boost-users(a)lists.boost.org Subject: [Boost-users] [units] I have an urgent and definite need for the functionality which boost.units is meant to provide.

[coroutine] Resuming of coroutine from another thread
by Jason Roehm 16 Sep '13

16 Sep '13

I'm thinking up a design for a task-processing system that uses Boost.Asio and Boost.Coroutine. As part of that design, I would have a pool of worker threads executing work items. During processing of a particular work item, it's possible that the worker might need to wait on some other operation (e.g. I/O) to complete. However, while it waits, I'd like to put that thread to work doing something else useful from the queue. I was thinking of using coroutines to provide the ability to suspend the processing of one task, restarting it later when it is ready to move forward again. In my hypothetical framework, the thread that finishes the work might not be the same one that started it in the first place. I recently came across this Stack Overflow question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8557067/thread-safe-coroutines-with-asio which inquired as to the safety of creating a coroutine in one thread and then resuming it in another. The answers there indicate that this is not supported, and they link to Boost.Coroutine documentation that explains the underlying problems and why it isn't supported. However, that documentation was from the original Boost.Coroutine by Giovanni Deretta (which I'm not sure was ever actually accepted into Boost). The latest version by Oliver Kowalke indicates that it is a follow-up on that library, but doesn't have any specific caveats in the documentation regarding the interaction between threads and coroutines. Does the contemporary Boost.Coroutine have the same limitation, or is it safe to create a coroutine in one thread and then resume it in another? Jason

Too many EOF's using boost::asio

I have a TCP server and client with following read and write functions: ----------------- Writes ---------------------- void SomeClass::startWrite() { //m_writeBuffer is boost::asio::streambuf..m_writeQueue is std::deque<std::string> m_writeBuffer.sputn(&m_writeQueue.at(0)[0], m_writeQueue.at(0).size()); //m_objStrandWrite is boost::asio::strand boost::asio::async_write( getSocket(), m_writeBuffer, m_objStrandWrite.wrap([this](const boost::system::error_code &e, std::size_t bytesTxd){writeHandler(e, bytesTxd);}) ); } void SomeClass::writeHandler(const boost::system::error_code &refErrorCode, std::size_t bytesTxd) { if(!m_bIsStopped) { m_writeQueue.pop_front(); if(refErrorCode) { if(refErrorCode != boost::asio::error::operation_aborted) { std::cerr << "Write Error: " << refErrorCode.message() << std::endl; stop(); } } else { if(!m_writeQueue.empty()) { startWrite(); } } } } ------------------- Reads ----------------- void SomeClass::startRead() { //m_readBuffer is boost::asio::streambuf..m_objStrandRead is boost::asio::strand boost::asio::async_read_until( getSocket(), m_readBuffer, m_szTermString, m_objStrandRead.wrap([this](const boost::system::error_code &e, std::size_t bytesRxd){readHandler(e, bytesRxd);}) ); } void SomeClass::readHandler(const boost::system::error_code &refErrorCode, std::size_t bytesRxd) { if(!m_bIsStopped) { if(refErrorCode) { if(refErrorCode != boost::asio::error::operation_aborted) { std::cerr << "Read error: " << refErrorCode.message() << std::endl; stop(); } } else { if(bytesRxd) { std::string szRxdData; szRxdData.resize(bytesRxd); m_readBuffer.sgetn(&szRxdData[0], bytesRxd); } startRead(); } } } I get very frequent End Of File (EOF) error on client's read. It is not always but frequent. I am running a threadpool by asking multiple std::threads to execute io_service::run() which never quits until io_service::stop() is called. The data given by the server is almost never more than 5MB. As you see in the code, for any error I call stop() which shuts down the connection gracefully. <Q> *Is there something wrong I'm doing because I see no reason for EOF error. Why should the server close/shutdown the connection?* The code does not do that explicitly. Anyway it is random - out of 10 times maybe 5 are successful reads and 5 become EOF's and I have to restart my client executable to connect again in each of those cases. Other sockets don't do that - eg., I've tested with QTcpSocket of Qt framework and it works all the time (no randomness). -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/Too-many-EOF-s-using-boost-asio-tp465117… Sent from the Boost - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

boost::tr1::tuple or boost::tuple? how to compile the same code with both -std=c++98 and -std=c++11?

This small program compiles nicely with g++ 4.6.4 and -std=c++98 and boost 1.52.0: #include <iostream> #include <boost/math/tools/roots.hpp> #include <boost/tr1/tuple.hpp> std::tr1::tuple<double, double> f(double x) { return std::tr1::tuple<double, double>(x, 1.); } int main() { std::cout<<boost::math::tools::newton_raphson_iterate(f, 10., -9., +20., 10); return 0; } Now, I would like to be able to compile that program also with g++ 4.8.1 and -std=c++11 (I changed also boost to 1.53.0). If I do not change anything, std::tr1::tuple is replaced by std::tuple and I get the following error (see attached log): path/to/boost/include/boost/math/tools/roots.hpp:202:32: error: no match for 'operator=' (operand types are 'std::tuple<double&, double&>' and 'boost::fusion::tuple<double, double>') I tried to replace <boost/tr1/tuple.hpp> and std::tr1::tuple by <boost/tuple/tuple.hpp> and boost::tuple without any success. What should I do to have the same code compile with both -std=c++98 and -std=c++11? Regards, Frédéric

Regex on Windows2012
by Michael Xanadu 11 Sep '13

11 Sep '13

Hi guys, I developed a little application called MyProgram.exe (Win7, VS2008 SP1, Qt 4.8.4) and a little DLL called MyLibrary.dll. The DLL uses BOOST's regex engine 1.5. The executable calls the DLL via couple of functions, one function inside the DLL uses the regex engine. I've tested the environment on Windows7 and all is OK. BUT: If I copy the application and the DLL to Windows2012 I see that the executable crashes if I use it. I took a closer look to the issue and found out that the cause for the crash seems to be the regex engine inside the DLL. If regex functions will be called inside the DLL, it crashes and also the application does. AND: The strange thing is, that this problem seems to occur only on Windows2012 and only if the regex engine is inside a DLL. If I use Windows7 instead or uses the regex engine inside an executable on Windows2012 - everything works fine. I've already tried a lot to solve the problem, including using different linking approaches (BOOST as shared DLL etc.). I wonder if anybody had similar issues or can give me a hint of what went wrong? Regards, Michael

syntax error reporting from imported python modules
by Richi Lists 11 Sep '13

Hi, when I execute a python script that contains errors, I get nice and complete information from boost::python::error_already_set about the error and it's location. If the script that contains a syntax error is not executed directly, but imported from the main script, I don't get that exception. Instead it returns from the function as if everything was successful. When I check the result, the tasks from the other files were performed, just the stuff from the erroneous file is missing. Do I need to somehow attach the error reporting to the imported files? Rgds Richard

I have an application where I need to pass "this" in a callback belonging to a class to a function using a shared_ptr in another thread In code: struct Data { Data( void* p ) : ptr( p ) { } boost::shared_ptr<void> ptr; }; void threadA( Data* d ) { boost::shared_ptr<void> ptr( d->ptr ); delete d; // use ptr } class A { void init_thread() { Data* data = new Data( this ); boost.thread t( boost::bind( threadA, data ) ); } }; The problem is obvious. Once threadA closes, the shared ptr is destroyed as its count is 0 and as it points to the this of class A this gets deleted too. However my class A is still active and should not get deleted. How can I work around this?

[wave] Wave macro expansion problem
by Edward Diener 10 Sep '13

The code: // test_macros_o.cpp #define f(a) f(x + (a)) #define x 2 #define g f #define h g(~ int main() { #pragma wave trace(enable) h 5); #pragma wave trace(disable) return 0; } In the latest C++ standard at 16.3.5 paragraph 5 the expansion of 'h 5)' is given as: f(2 * (~5)) but the wave.exe driver gives: C:\Programming\VersionControl\boost\libs\vmd\test\test_macros_o.cpp:11:3: h C:\Programming\VersionControl\boost\libs\vmd\test\test_macros_o.cpp:4:9: see macro definition: h [ g(~ rescanning [ C:\Programming\VersionControl\boost\libs\vmd\test\test_macros_o.cpp:3:9: see macro definition: g [ f rescanning [ f ] ]

[wave] Wave driver --c++0x option
by Edward Diener 10 Sep '13

10 Sep '13

After building the Wave driver tool from the latest Boost source on trunk, if I pass the --c++0x option to the Wave.exe driver I get: wave: exception caught: unrecognised option '--c++0x' Do I have to build the wave driver with some option to support the --c++0x option when running it ?

I foolishly undef ARGS_AMOUNT after using. It is habit, because not wrote global macros earlier. Thanks, Edward Diener.

[BOOST.PREPROCESSOR] Use BOOST_PP_REPEAT in macros?
by Sergey Zhuravlev 10 Sep '13

10 Sep '13

Write code: ////////////////// #define ARGS_AMOUNT 9 #define INTERNAL_GENERATE_MEMBER_APPLY_CLASS(_, ARG_COUNTER, MemberName)\ template<class TClassWithMember BOOST_PP_COMMA_IF(ARG_COUNTER) BOOST_PP_ENUM_PARAMS(ARG_COUNTER, class TArg)>\ result_type operator()(\ TClassWithMember& classWithMember BOOST_PP_COMMA_IF(ARG_COUNTER)\ BOOST_PP_ENUM_BINARY_PARAMS(ARG_COUNTER, TArg, &arg)) const\ {\ classWithMember.MemberName(BOOST_PP_ENUM_PARAMS(ARG_COUNTER, arg));\ } #define DECLARE_MEMBER_APPLY_CLASS(TMemberApplyClassName, MemberName)\ template<class TResultType>\ struct TMemberApplyClassName\ {\ typedef TResultType result_type;\ BOOST_PP_REPEAT(ARGS_AMOUNT, INTERNAL_GENERATE_MEMBER_APPLY_CLASS, MemberName)\ }; #undef ARGS_AMOUNT ////////////////// DECLARE_MEMBER_APPLY_CLASS(TClassName, MemberName) declare class template closer to boost::apply, but my declared class call member MemberName: f.MemberName(args...); opposite f.operator()(args...) at boost::apply. Code not work correctly, because ARGS_AMOUNT not replaced to number 9 internally. ARGS_AMOUNT preserved after all macros substitution. If manualy replace text "ARGS_AMOUNT" at "call" for BOOST_PP_REPEAT in macros DECLARE_MEMBER_APPLY_CLASS to 9, then code generated and work correctly. Why it does? How preserve valuable name of const ARGS_AMOUNT? Now temporarily maualy replace ARGS_AMOUNT to 9 and write comment about this hardcoded const 9: BOOST_PP_REPEAT(9 /*max amount of arguments for MemberName*/, INTERNAL_GENERATE_MEMBER_APPLY_CLASS, MemberName)\

[thread] release lock before cond.var. notified?
by Thomas M 09 Sep '13

09 Sep '13

Hi, Consider a boolean variable, a mutex and a condition variable: // simplified code snippet begin bool Continue = false; boost::mutex someMutex; boost::condition_variable someCondVar; // simplified code snippet end A number of (boost-)threads check if the boolean variable is set to true in order to continue execution, or otherwise wait for this to happen: // simplified code snippet begin boost::unique_lock<boost::mutex> threadLock(someMutex); while (Continue == false) { someCondVar.wait(threadLock); } // simplified code snippet end and a single controller thread is responsible for setting Continue to true (see snippets below). Now the question: Is there a strong point pro or against releasing controllerLock before the notify_all-signal is sent? E.g. is there preference for the first or second variant as below (see placement of curly brackets!), or even a need for one to ensure correctness? // simplified code snippet begin - Variant 1 // notify_all is issued while controllerLock is still being held { boost::unique_lock<boost::mutex> controllerLock(someMutex); Continue = true; someCondVar.notify_all(); } // simplified code snippet end // simplified code snippet begin - Variant 2 // notify_all is issued when controllerLock has already been released { boost::unique_lock<boost::mutex> controllerLock(someMutex); Continue = true; } someCondVar.notify_all(); // simplified code snippet end Thanks for your input and help, Thomas

Hello, I'm experiencing a memory leak using the flat_map.insert(Iterator, Iterator) function. The leak goes away if I do regular for loop and use flat_map.insert(*Iterator). Is this a known issue? If not, what would be helpful for a bug report? Adam

Regex comparision
by Prakash Reddy Bande 09 Sep '13

09 Sep '13

Hi, I would like to change a regular expression in a compatible way. Here is the use case. Initially, in the configuration I defined a reg-exp for validation of data before persisting it. Some data was created and persisted, later the reg-exp required a change, however, the change must be done is such a way that existing data should not become invalid. Example: Initial validation says "no ; (semi-colon) and : (colon) in the text". However, later we decide to relax the constraint and want to allow : (colon). By allowing this we are not invalidating any existing data and hence this change should be allowed. However, we should not be changing the configuration and add additional constraint, like now I don't want to allow _ (underscore) since there will be existing data that has _ (underscore). I am using: boost_1_46_1 Pseudo-code of APIs I am using: #include <boost/xpressive/xpressive.hpp> string regexPattern("^[^\\/?%*:|\"<>\.]+$"); boost::xpressive::sregex tmpRegex = boost::xpressive::sregex::compile(regexPattern); bool match = boost::xpressive::regex_match("value to validate", tmpRegex); Now I decide that I would start allowing . (dot) from now on. Is there a way that will allow me to validate that whatever successfully matches the old expression will also match the new expression Regards, Prakash Bande Director - Hyperworks Enterprise Software Altair Eng.

[thread] Internal compiler error when trying to make movable future
by Gavin Lambert 09 Sep '13

09 Sep '13

Am I doing something wrong in the following code? #include <boost/thread/future.hpp> template<typename T> struct test_node { BOOST_THREAD_MOVABLE_ONLY(test_node) typedef boost::unique_future<test_node> future_node; T value; future_node next; }; (In the "real code" I've defined move constructors etc as well of course, but they don't affect the result so I've omitted them for brevity.) Using boost v1.53 with BOOST_THREAD_VERSION==2 and VS2008 (non C++11 compiler), the above code produces an internal compiler error: 1>t:\boost\boost_1_53_0\boost\type_traits\is_convertible.hpp(484) : fatal error C1001: An internal error has occurred in the compiler. 1>(compiler file 'msc1.cpp', line 1411) 1> To work around this problem, try simplifying or changing the program near the locations listed above. 1>Please choose the Technical Support command on the Visual C++ 1> Help menu, or open the Technical Support help file for more information 1> t:\boost\boost_1_53_0\boost\thread\detail\is_convertible.hpp(22) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::is_convertible<From,To>' being compiled 1> with 1> [ 1> From=test_node<int> &, 1> To=boost::detail::thread_move_t<test_node<int>> 1> ] 1> t:\boost\boost_1_53_0\boost\mpl\if.hpp(63) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::thread_detail::is_convertible<T1,T2>' being compiled 1> with 1> [ 1> T1=test_node<int> &, 1> T2=boost::detail::thread_move_t<test_node<int>> 1> ] 1> t:\boost\boost_1_53_0\boost\thread\future.hpp(519) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::mpl::if_<T1,T2,T3>' being compiled 1> with 1> [ 1> T1=boost::thread_detail::is_convertible<test_node<int> &,boost::detail::thread_move_t<test_node<int>>>, 1> T2=boost::detail::thread_move_t<test_node<int>>, 1> T3=const test_node<int> & 1> ] 1> t:\boost\boost_1_53_0\boost\thread\future.hpp(1398) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::detail::future_traits<T>' being compiled 1> with 1> [ 1> T=test_node<int> 1> ] 1> s:\tests\nodetest.cpp(26) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::unique_future<R>' being compiled 1> with 1> [ 1> R=test_node<int> 1> ] 1> s:\tests\nodetest.cpp(56) : see reference to class template instantiation 'test_node<T>' being compiled 1> with 1> [ 1> T=int 1> ] The internal error goes away if I remove the MOVABLE_ONLY macro or the future_node instance field. The equivalent move code (using boost::detail::thread_move_t directly) for boost 1.47 compiles and works successfully (but crashes again if I switch to boost 1.53). Is this a regression in boost or am I doing something incorrect somewhere? Does anyone know of a workaround? Note that it does not matter if I try to use Boost.Move syntax instead, as unique_future<> internally uses Boost.Thread's move implementation, which is where things seem to be failing. One possible issue is that I'm trying to declare a future to an incomplete type (because it's self-referential), which is possibly confusing some of the internal checks it wants to do. But again, this usage used to work, and I'm not sure how to fix it given the new boost version. At least not without introducing pointers and heap allocation, which I really didn't want to do.

[accumulators] Help with accumulator-based typedef
by Michael Powell 09 Sep '13

09 Sep '13

Hello, I am trying to setup a "simple" weighted_mean accumulator for a struct I want to accumulate. It goes something like this. Let's call it a float for sake of example. It's actually a struct with mathematical comprehension: addable, subtractable, multipliable, dividable, and so on. typedef accumulator_set<float, stats<tag::rolling_mean>, features<tag::count, tag::weighted_mean> > my_float_accumulator_set; However, I am getting obscenely long errors complaining about AccumulatorSet, etc, etc. Can someone direct me to a (somewhat) complete example of a weighted_sum accumulator in action? Am I even on the right track type-defining my accumulator ahead of time? Regards, Michael Powell

Re: [Boost-users] cross-compilation x86_64-w64-ming32: undefined reference to `InterlockedIncrement'
by Frédéric Bron 08 Sep '13

08 Sep '13

> I have exactly the same issue with MinGW-builds gcc-4.8.1-x86_64-posix-seh > building boost 1.54.0. It also crashes cxx1plus.exe as I build it (which is > probably another problem). > Did you manage to construct a workaround? Well I stopped working on that. I was expecting that somebody could help with the content of <boost/detail/interlocked.hpp> but got no answer. I imagine that extern "C" long InterlockedIncrement( long volatile * ); should be extern "C" __attribute__((dllimport)) long __attribute__((__stdcall__)) InterlockedIncrement( long volatile * ); as it is in 32 bits. I have now looked a bit further: among the preprocessor variable checked in <boost/detail/interlocked.hpp>, here are the differences when compiling with i686-w64-mingw32-g++ or x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++: 1. in both cases, the following variables are undefined: WIN32 __CYGWIN__ MINGW64 _M_IA64 BOOST_MSVC BOOST_INTEL_WIN _WIN32_WCE _MSC_VER 2. in both cases, the following variables are defined with value 1: _WIN32 __WIN32 3. variable _M_AMD64 is undefined with i686-w64-mingw32-g++ and defined with value 100 with x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++. Does this help? In particular, is it normal that _WIN32 and __WIN32 are defined when targetting win64? Is it normal that MINGW64 is always undefined although I use a W64 compiler? Frédéric

[spirit] Qi-adapted-struct light bulb
by Michael Powell 07 Sep '13

07 Sep '13

Hello, A light bulb went on for me with regard to adapting structs into Qi parser grammars. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. The key is adapting a struct into your grammer's parser(s) using the BOOST_FUSION_ADAPT_STRUCT, which identifies the type (struct) and fields you are synthesizing out of the grammar. It doesn't mean that there can't be other (presumably) public variables, functions, etc, in the struct. It also doesn't mean there can't be private or protected or even a hierarchy of members. It just means that those are the *adapted* fields into which values will be synthesized. Need a style feedback as well. I am finding that I define both the struct and its parser grammar in the same header/source. Is there any reason to separate the two, really? Other than perhaps not everything needs to know about the grammer, just the struct, type thing. Thank you... Regards, Michael Powell

Boost program option parsing issue.

Hi All, I am using program option for my program. Here is my code snippet string inputFile, outputFile; /* Populate command line arguments */ po::options_description desc("Usage: KDMGenerator [OPTIONS]"); { desc.add_options() ("help", "prints this message") ( "input-file", po::value<string>(&inputFile), "input file name" ) ( "output-file", po::value<string>(&outputFile), "output file name"); } po::variables_map vm; po::store(po::parse_command_line(argc, argv, desc), vm); po::notify(vm); if (vm.count("help") || !vm.size()) { cout <<desc; return 0; } if(vm.count("input-file")) { cout << "Input file :" << inputFile << '\n'; } if(vm.count("output-file")) { cout << outputFile << '\n'; } The issue I am facing is that if i I call my program without passing value for input file, something like ./myapp --input-file --output-file out.txt I get Input file: --output-file i.e the value "--output-file" get stored in inputFile and vm.count("output-file") returns zero. Is this the desired behavior? Is there any workaround for this? -- Vivek,

[spirit] qi pheonix struct adaptation
by Michael Powell 06 Sep '13

06 Sep '13

Hello, Need a little guidance when it comes to adapting structs. Let's say I've got a simple struct: struct data_t { int a; int b; int c; }; When I adapt it, I need to specify the fields into which the values are being consumed and subsequently synthesized? What happens for optional consumers, in one use-case? In another use-case, what happens if one value or another value or a third value can be consumed for that field? So, something like this, pardoning the pseudo-code: using qi::int_; using qi::lit; qi::rule<Iterator, data_t()> rule_; //a is optional, followed by b is mandatory, followed by c can be 1 | 2 | 3 rule_ %= -( int_ ) >> lit(',') >> int_ >> lit('.') >> ( int_(1) | int_(2) | int_(3) ); This is applying into a GPS NMEA parser domain, so along these lines for things like geo-spacial-coordinates, latitude/longitude, time, etc. Thank you... Regards, Michael Powell

[BGL] Having a cost function as weight map
by Maxime van Noppen 06 Sep '13

06 Sep '13

Hi, I can't find how to do this pretty basic thing : having a function instead of a field to compute the cost of edges for various path finding algorithms. I couldn't find the answer in the documentation and Google was of no help. Did I miss something obvious ? Example : ------------------- #include <boost/graph/dijkstra_shortest_paths.hpp> #include <boost/graph/graph_traits.hpp> #include <boost/graph/adjacency_list.hpp> struct my_edge { double cost() const { return cost_ * 2; } double cost_; }; struct my_node { }; int main() { typedef boost::adjacency_list< boost::vecS, boost::vecS, boost::directedS, my_node, my_edge > graph_t; typedef boost::graph_traits<graph_t>::vertex_descriptor vertex_t; graph_t graph; vertex_t v /*= ... */; using boost::weight_map; // Works : boost::dijkstra_shortest_paths(graph, v, weight_map(boost::get(&my_edge::cost_, graph))); // Doesn't compile : //boost::dijkstra_shortest_paths(graph, v, // weight_map(boost::get(&my_edge::cost, graph))); } ------------------- Thanks ! -- Maxime

How to build Boost binary libraries on Windows X64 using GCC
by guxiaobo1982 06 Sep '13

06 Sep '13

Hi, We are trying to develop a custom R package, which will utilize Boost and RCPP. We are using R 3.0.1 64bit, and the corresponding RTools3 toolchain, which can be downloaded from CRAN, such as http://cran.at.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/Rtools31.exe. Upon our environment we can build test R packages which with C++ srouces and without any other third-part denpendencies, and can use Eclipse C++ IDE to develop demo C++ programes. When comes to Boost, there is a problem to build the binary libraries such as regex, we found a guide at http://fischerlaender.de/development/using-boost-c-libraries-with-gcc-g-und…, it only tells how to use a pre-built Boost binary, and we have tried the steps at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5299468/unable-to-build-boost-libraries-… 1. cd to toos\build\v2\engine (there is not a src directory) 2. build.bat gcc 3. put the new bjam.exe and b2.exe into the root the boost 4. execute b2 under root of boost It seems boost still looks for cl (which is from the visual studio toolchain) So do you have a pre-built boost library for windows and gcc, or what's the wright way? Thanks. Xiaobo Gu

[spirit] Qi rule for GPS NMEA
by Michael Powell 06 Sep '13

06 Sep '13

Hello, I'm digging into a qi rule for GPS NMEA and want to approach it as a kind of 2-pass parser. First pass to extract the message and hex-formatted checksum. Next pass to parse out the actual messages from the message. I believe I comprehend how to go about the second pass. For the first pass, I want to parse $XYZ*HH\r\n. That's the literal '$', and everything between there and the literal '*', followed by the two hex characters, as a complete field, followed by the terminal CR+LF. How do I express the "all characters excluding '*'" for the NMEA message? Then the hex field? Thanks... Regards, Michael Powell

[BGL] Cannot use vertex indices managed through bundled properties with r_c_shortest_path if EdgeList is listS
by potato_research 05 Sep '13

05 Sep '13

As per the thread topic. Given the following minimal (not-)working example: http://pastebin.com/6zpwCb4X I receive the following compilation error: /usr/local/include/boost/graph/r_c_shortest_paths.hpp:244:50: error: invalid conversion from 'boost::graph_traits<boost::adjacency_list<boost::listS, boost::listS, boost::bidirectionalS, VertexProperty, EdgeProperty> >::vertex_descriptor {aka void*}' to 'int' [-fpermissive] int i_cur_resident_vertex_num = cur_label->resident_vertex; If I change my graph from: adjacency_list<listS, listS, bidirectionalS, VertexProperty, EdgeProperty> to adjacency_list<listS, vecS, bidirectionalS, VertexProperty, EdgeProperty> everything seems to be working fine. However, I need to use listS in my code for iterator validity purposes. Is it possible to use r_c_shortest_paths with a graph with listS EdgeList? If so, how?

[chrono] this_thread::sleep_for milliseconds
by Michael Powell 05 Sep '13

05 Sep '13

Hello, I am working on a daemon that involves a sleep_for in the main loop, while worker-threads do the "heavier" lifting in the daemon. I have a couple of signals wired up to respond to terminal, kill or other requests, as per daemonization-guidelines. Question for the list, I gather that thread-sleeps are interrupted when these type of signals occur? Which is fine, I don't need to re-sleep, per se, as some examples seem to suggest. But I do guard a flag in a mutex-critical-section and flag whether to stop running the main loop, which then joins the worker threads. Is this about right as far as daemon, thread/sleep, worker thread approaches are concerned? It seems like it to me, but I thought I should run it past the list to see if there are any pearls of wisdom on the subject. Thank you... Regards, Michael Powell

[multi_index] sorted iteration of values
by Mathieu Champlon 05 Sep '13

05 Sep '13

Hello, I'm trying to use Boost.MultiIndex to store my data. The idea is to have a kind of bidirectional multimap (I initially started with Boost.BiMap) which could model : std::multimap< SomeType*, std::set< int > > left; std::multimap< int, SomeType*> right; I'll need to : . insert obviously . remove all ints based on a SomeType* . remove one given (SomeType*,int) . for a given int iterate on all SomeType* . for a given SomeType* iterate in order on all ints What I have so far is : typedef SomeType* First; typedef int Second; struct Value { First first; Second second; }; boost::multi_index::multi_index_container< Value, boost::multi_index::indexed_by< boost::multi_index::ordered_unique< boost::multi_index::composite_key< Value, boost::multi_index::member< Value, First, &Value::first >, boost::multi_index::member< Value, Second, &Value::second > > >, boost::multi_index::ordered_non_unique< boost::multi_index::member< Value, Second, &Value::second > >, boost::multi_index::ordered_non_unique< boost::multi_index::member< Value, First, &Value::first > > > > data; This works, except for the ints iteration based on a given SomeType* because I need them to be sorted, and they're not, e.g. auto range = data.get< 2 >().equal_range( someTypePtr ); for( auto it = range.first; it != range.second; ++it ) ; does not iterate in a sorted order. Is there a way to achieve this without manually sorting the iterated values ? Thank you ! MAT.

boost::multiprecision::cpp_int encoding and decoding little endian byte arrays
by Steffen Heil (Mailinglisten) 05 Sep '13

05 Sep '13

Hello I need to decode/encode cpp_int values from/into byte arrays. The encoding must be shortest little endian two's complement representation of the value. For example: 00 = 0 01 = 1 ff = -1 ff:7f = 32767 01:80 = -32767 00:80:00 = 32768 00:80 = -32768 01:80:00 = 32769 ff:7f:ff = -32769 ff:ff:ef:9c:d2:40:43:da:4f:40:6b:06:6a:cd:92:c2:93:bf:a4:5c:c3:f1:29:63:1d = 184467440737095516151844674407370955161518446744073709551615 01:00:10:63:2d:bf:bc:25:b0:bf:94:f9:95:32:6d:3d:6c:40:5b:a3:3c:0e:d6:9c:e2 = -184467440737095516151844674407370955161518446744073709551615 I found a way to archive my goal (see below), but it seems way to complex and too inefficient. For encoding I basically converting the cpp_int to a uint8_t to get 8 bit and then shift the cpp_int by 8, creating a new cpp_int... Twice (once to compute it's length, again to encode it). For decoding I already shift the byte read to the "right" position and "|=" it into the existing cpp_int. Isn't there an easier way access the binary representation of an cpp_int? Regards, Steffen --- #include <iostream> #include <boost/multiprecision/cpp_int.hpp> using namespace std; using namespace boost::multiprecision; size_t binLength( cpp_int value ) { if ( value.is_zero() ) return 1; if ( value.sign() < 0 ) value = ~ value; size_t length = 0; uint8_t lastByte; do { lastByte = value.convert_to<uint8_t>(); value >>= 8; length ++; } while ( ! value.is_zero() ); if ( lastByte >= 0x80 ) length ++; return length; } void binEncode( cpp_int value, uint8_t* output, size_t length ) { if ( value.is_zero() ) *output = 0; else if ( value.sign() > 0 ) while ( length -- > 0 ) { *( output ++ ) = value.convert_to<uint8_t>(); value >>= 8; } else { value = ~ value; while ( length -- > 0 ) { *( output ++ ) = ~ value.convert_to<uint8_t>(); value >>= 8; } } } cpp_int binDecode( uint8_t* input, size_t length ) { boost::multiprecision::cpp_int result( 0 ); int bits = - 8; while ( length -- > 1 ) result |= (boost::multiprecision::cpp_int) *( input ++ ) << ( bits += 8 ); uint8_t a = *( input ++ ); result |= (boost::multiprecision::cpp_int) a << ( bits += 8 ); if ( a >= 0x80 ) result |= (boost::multiprecision::cpp_int) - 1 << ( bits + 8 ); return result; } void test( string s ) { cpp_int x( s ); uint8_t buffer[ 100 ]; size_t length = binLength( x ), index = 0; binEncode( x, buffer, length ); cpp_int y = binDecode( buffer, length ); cout << hex << setw( 2 ) << setfill( '0' ) << (int) buffer[ 0 ]; while ( -- length > 0 ) cout << ':' << setw( 2 ) << setfill( '0' ) << (int) buffer[ ++ index ]; cout << " = " << dec << setw( 1 ) << x << endl; if ( x != y ) cerr << "failed" << endl; } int main( int argc, const char* argv[] ) { test( "0" ); test( "1" ); test( "-1" ); test( "32767" ); test( "-32767" ); test( "32768" ); test( "-32768" ); test( "32769" ); test( "-32769" ); test( "184467440737095516151844674407370955161518446744073709551615" ); test( "-184467440737095516151844674407370955161518446744073709551615" ); }

[Log] How to use a channel that is constant per file?
by Timo Schmiade 03 Sep '13

03 Sep '13

Hi all, I want to use boost's log library to output messages to the console which feature a per-message severity and a per-file channel. I already tried two approaches, none of which was satisfying: === 1. approach === The class boost::log::sources::severity_channel_logger supports both severity and channel and I could define it in each source file like so: --- 8< --- BOOST_LOG_INLINE_GLOBAL_LOGGER_DEFAULT( log, boost::log::sources::severity_channel_logger< boost::log::trivial::severity_level, std::string > ) --- >8 --- Unfortunately, using it like this requires me to redundantly add the channel to each log message, which is very inconvenient because it is the same for all logs in the file. --- 8< --- // Message.cpp BOOST_LOG_CHANNEL_SEV(log, Message, trace) << "Hello, world"; --- >8 --- === 2. approach === I defined my logger like this: --- 8< --- BOOST_LOG_INLINE_GLOBAL_LOGGER_DEFAULT( log, boost::log::sources::severity_logger< boost::log::trivial::severity_level > ) --- >8 --- Then, in each file, I manually set the "Channel" attribute for the logger, like so: --- 8< --- // Message.cpp log::get().add_attribute( "Channel", boost::log::attributes::make_constant("Message")); --- >8 --- This works, but as the "log" object seems to be stored globally, I would have to "invent" new names for the logger object in each file. This is both insecure and prevents the usage of macros (I think). So here's the question: What would be the recommended / a convenient way to add a per-file constant channel to log messages? Thanks in advance! Timo

[spirit] Parsing std::string phrase into attribute struct
by Michael Powell 03 Sep '13

03 Sep '13

Hello, Question re: parsing string into a Fusion-adapted struct. First, magic! Wow, I like it. Question about the immediate result, true/false. Let's say the operation fails for whatever reason. In our use-case, we'll be reading some text in from a Linux /sysfs -provided API. We'll parse the contents into a struct instance. If the operation fails for whatever reason, does not match the grammar, are any values mapped into the structure? My first guess, is possibly: a partial (though still failing) match, would partially populate the instance? I am using the employee-example as our boiler plate. http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/libs/spirit/example/qi/employee.cpp The outcome of which would be whether to consider the instance valid for reporting further into user-space, or what else to do with the outcome from there. Thank you... Regards, Michael Powell

Changing format of program_options

Hi, I have tried to read config file using boost::program_options where I have large floating pointing numbers like [test_section] test = 1.432e43 but seems that I get bad an error message "boost::bad_any_cast: failed conversion using boost::any_cast" when I am reading the value from program_options::variables_map. Reading works perfectly when I am using numbers like [test_section] a = 13.62 but scientific format fails. Should I tell to variables_map somehow what is the format of floating point numbers or should I do something else? -Heikki

Using Boost.Thread with lowlevel system software: async interruption question
by Nikita V. Youshchenko 02 Sep '13

02 Sep '13

Hi I'm developing lowevel system software, that runs under linux and communicates with custom linux drivers for custom hardware. I'm evaluating possibility to switch from explicit use of pthread interface to Boost.Thread. After reading documentation, I can't understand if there is any solution for async thread interruption with Boost.Thread. First use case is - need to interrupt thread that is sleeping in custom dirver's ioctl() call. Drivers are well-written, in terms that any sleep inside ioctl()s is immediately interrupted on signal arrival. This perfectly couples with pthreads' PTHREAD_CANCEL_ASYNCHRONOUS cancellation type - which is based on signals. Thus, to make threads cancellable while sleeping inside ioctl(), it is enough to set cancellation type to PTHREAD_CANCEL_ASYNCHRONOUS before entering system call. Second use case is - need to interrupt thread that is running 3rd party legacy code. The only method I know to physically communicate termination request to thread running unaware code is signal. Again, this couples well with PTHREAD_CANCEL_ASYNCHRONOUS. Is it possible to solve these two use cases with Boost.Thread? Per Boost.Thread documentation, thread interrupts only in predefined interruption points. Which is similar to pthreads' PTHREAD_CANCEL_DEFERRED, and is not what I'm looking for. I imagine I could play with signal handler that does longjump() to some point where I manually raise boost::thread_interrupted exception. Will that work? Sure this will loose any destructor calls for objects created in call stack "below setjmp point" - but in first use case I can ensure that no cleanup below setjmp is required, and in second use case this looks unavoidable... Any better ideas? I do not have any portability needs in this software - drivers are linux-only anyway. So linux-only solution is perfectly ok. Nikita Yushchenko

[chrono] float-based milliseconds?
by Michael Powell 31 Aug '13

31 Aug '13

Hello, Or any of the chrono-steady-clock-based time units... I am noticing some what appear to be rounding errors outputting resulting millisecond values using the boost::chrono::milliseconds(x). It's a design-decision, most if not all of our floating-point values are single-precision-float, don't need to be double-precision-float. When we output the milliseconds(x).count() values, however, what I am finding is that the values are sometimes inaccurate, the same value in 3.0, for instance, output as 2.99995, stuff like this. Is there a way to tell milliseconds what precision floating point it is? float or double? We are targeting ARM, BTW, without hardware floating point support, which is the main reason, I'd like to keep things single-precision float, if at all possible. Thank you... Regards, Michael Powell

libboost_thread-vc80-mt-1_54.lib
by John Emmas 30 Aug '13

30 Aug '13

A few months ago I downloaded 'boost_1_54_0.zip' which I probably obtained from Sourceforge:- http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.54.0/ I'm using libboost with Visual C++ 8 and up to now the only things I've needed from it are 'boost::regex' and 'boost::shared_ptr'. However I'm now building a 3rd party library which seems to want to link to the above library (libboost_thread-vc80-mt-1_54.lib). I'm not sure whether it's a static library or the symbols library for a DLL. Either way, the zip file I downloaded doesn't seem to contain it (nor any other libs or DLLs AFAICT). Q1) Is there some other web site I need to visit in order to get the pre-built binaries? Q2) I know from past experience that pre-built boost binaries sometimes require quite obscure versions of the MSVC runtime. That was the case with boost::regex so after a bit of advice from this mailing list, I ended up making a VC project and building it myself. I don't mind doing the same thing for boost::thread - but I wondered if there was already a suitable project available somewhere? I don't want to re-invent the wheel if a VC project already exists! Thanks. John
