boost managed shared memory: RUN FAILED
by Olivier Austina 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

Hello, I try to run an example from this online book( http://en.highscore.de/cpp/boost/interprocesscommunication.html) and I got "RUN FAILED (exit value 1, total time: 938ms) ". I am using Netbeans. This is the example: #include <boost/interprocess/managed_shared_memory.hpp> #include <iostream> int main() { boost::interprocess::shared_memory_object::remove("Highscore"); boost::interprocess::managed_shared_memory managed_shm(boost::interprocess::open_or_create, "Highscore", 1024); int *i = managed_shm.construct<int>("Integer")(99); std::cout << *i << std::endl; std::pair<int*, std::size_t> p = managed_shm.find<int>("Integer"); if (p.first) std::cout << *p.first << std::endl; } Thanks very much. -- Regards Austina

Serialization newbie, memory being overwritten?
by Lasse Laursen 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

Hello to you, I wonder if you might be able to solve this conundrum I've been pondering. The boost (1.51) serialization library is giving me some trouble. I've been battling back and forth with the library, and I'm beginning to think I'm missing some key element. At first, I had issues to just getting things written out to a file without crashes. As far as I could tell, this particular problem was compounded by the fact, that I tried to simplify my code by just writing a single primitive referenced by a pointer to an object containing said primitive. As I've since come to learn, serializing pointed-to primitives is apparently not trivial. I have since, gotten the serialization class to properly write out a few simple member primitives from my class, but when I read them back using the exact same function, it seems as though a lot - if not all - of the pre-existing data in the object, which I am not serializing, gets overwritten. As far as I have been able to tell from the tutorials, I am doing everything exactly by the book. I was also concerned that maybe boost doesn't allow partial serialization, but this shouldn't be an issue either as far as I can tell. I must be making some sort of colossal mistake that I just cannot see. My in and out code is fairly straight forward: std::string streamPath = PTMFilePath.string(); std::ifstream ifs(streamPath); boost::archive::xml_iarchive ia(ifs); ia >> BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(aStream); ----- std::string streamPath = PTMFilePath.string(); std::ofstream ofs(streamPath); boost::archive::xml_oarchive oa(ofs); oa << BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(aStream); ------ My serialization function: template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive &ar, const unsigned int file_version) { ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(nrOfSamples); } ------ aStream is a pointer to a custom class, where I have allowed boost access. I am really confused as to what is causing this. Both pointed to data and regular primitives in the aStream class are wiped/altered as soon as the program enteres the serialize function, and even before the actual data seems to be read. I must be overlooking something really basic here. I hope someone can whack me with the solution stick... Thanks, Lasse

Incorrect assertion in Boost.Exception?
by Thorsten Dahlheimer 02 Dec '12

02 Dec '12

Hello, we want to use Boost.Exception (1.47.0) with MS Visual Studio 2010 in a project that consists of several DLLs and a main executable. We have situations where we store an error_info into an exception from inside a DLL and access it again from another DLL/the EXE, e.g.: dll.cpp: void func() { BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION(my_exception() << my_info(42)); } exe.cpp: try { func(); } catch (boost::exception& e) { std::cout << *boost::get_error_info<my_info>(e) << std::endl; } Now at runtime, when the error info is accessed, the following assertion in boost::exception_detail::error_info_container_impl::get() fails: BOOST_ASSERT( BOOST_EXCEPTION_DYNAMIC_TYPEID(*p).type_==ti.type_ ); As far as we can see, this happens because MSVC++ uses seperate type_info objects in each dll/exe, and the above assertion compares pointers to type_infos instead of the objects themselves. We believe this is a bug on the Boost side, since type_info objects for the same type are generally not guaranteed to be unique. Are we correct with that? Thanks, Thorsten

Re: [Boost-users] [Range & c++0x Lambdas] Can this be done?
by John M. Dlugosz 01 Dec '12

01 Dec '12

I had the same issue and posted it a few months ago. I wrote to the MS VS forum that their std::result_of should work correctly with both old and new formats; in particular use the declared result_type if it exists (which in general lets the user override the deduced type, great for compatibility issues). Actually doing that robustly is a bit of a maze of metaprogramming. I ended up making a local my_namespace::result_of that I just handles what I needed, and only when I asked for it. That doesn't help the existing range templates, but such a change could be put back into boost::result_of. Meanwhile, for different reasons, I made a macro that abstracts the different syntax between C++11 lambdas and Apple Block Closures. The latter generates a suitable lambda class complete with result_of member. That makes me think that you could have a macro that wraps a compiler-generated lambda expression in another class that inherits the operator() etc. and adds in the result_of typedef to simply use decltype. —John Date: Wed, 21 Nov 2012 10:15:18 -0700 From: Nathan Crookston <nathan.crookston(a)gmail.com> To: boost-users(a)lists.boost.org Subject: Re: [Boost-users] [Range & c++0x Lambdas] Can this be done?

Boost.Wave getting raw input tokens for code transformation
by Frank Birbacher 30 Nov '12

30 Nov '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi! I'm trying to utilize Wave for simple code transformations. My starting point is to do an identity mapping through Wave: read in a source file, tokenize it, and output it again. The output shall be the same as the input on a byte by byte basis. I modified the cpp_lexer example to just output the token.value() texts. From that I discovered whitespace in "# define" will be dropped. Ok, fixed this by modifying Wave source code. Now my main problem are line continuations using backslash like in multiline macro definitions. Those get processed at a very low level, I guess. The backslash will never be reported as a token, but the adjacent characters will be fused into one token. Is there a way to define a "raw" token mode that would report the backslash and keep the adjacent characters as distinct tokens? I don't understand the tokenizer level at all.

serialization of recursive objects
by kean 29 Nov '12

29 Nov '12

Hello everybody, I defined the following objects to be serialized: class MyElementObject { friend class boost::serialization::access; public: template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version) { } }; template<class T> class MyRecursiveObject { friend class boost::serialization::access; public: T element; std::vector<MyRecursiveObject<T> > children; template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version) { ar & element; ar & children; } }; I then run the following code: int main() { //MyRecursiveObject initialization MyRecursiveObject<MyElementObject> rec_object; rec_object.children.push_back(MyRecursiveObject<MyElementObject>()); rec_object.children[0].children.push_back(MyRecursiveObject<MyElementObject>()); //create vector of pointers to MyRecursiveObject's elements vector<MyElementObject *> elt_ptrs; elt_ptrs.push_back(&rec_object.element); elt_ptrs.push_back(&rec_object.children[0].element); elt_ptrs.push_back(&rec_object.children[0].children[0].element); //serialize MyRecursiveObject and the vector of pointers { ofstream ofs("filename"); boost::archive::text_oarchive oa(ofs); oa << rec_object; oa << elt_ptrs; } //create new MyRecursiveObject and vector of pointers for deserialization MyRecursiveObject<MyElementObject> rec_object_deserialized; rec_object_deserialized.children.push_back(MyRecursiveObject<MyElementObject>()); rec_object_deserialized.children[0].children.push_back(MyRecursiveObject<MyElementObject>()); vector<MyElementObject *> elt_ptrs_deserialized; //deserialize { ifstream ifs("filename"); boost::archive::text_iarchive ia(ifs); ia >> rec_object_deserialized; ia >> elt_ptrs_deserialized; } //compare deserialized pointers cout<<"elt_ptrs first level="<<elt_ptrs_deserialized[0] <<" expected="<<&rec_object_deserialized.element<<endl; cout<<"elt_ptrs second level="<<elt_ptrs_deserialized[1] <<" expected="<<&rec_object_deserialized.children[0].element<<endl; cout<<"elt_ptrs third level="<<elt_ptrs_deserialized[2] <<" expected="<<&rec_object_deserialized.children[0].children[0].element<<endl; return 0; } And I always get an output similar to the following one: elt_ptrs first level=<b>0x7fff57c787c0* expected=*0x7fff57c787c0* elt_ptrs second level=*0x18e7020* expected=*0x18e7020* elt_ptrs third level=*0xffff8000ab5564f0* expected=*0x18e7450* As can be seen from the output I manage to deserialize pointers that point to elements down to the second recursion level of MyRecursiveObject. As soon as I try to do it with pointers to the third level or even deeper the deserialization fails. Am I using boost::serialization wrongly? Note that the MyRecursiveObject is always successfully deserialized, no matter how many levels it has. I encounter the problem only deserializing pointers to its elements.

Fwd: [boost] [thread] Crash when calling pthread_cond_wait from thread.cpp in iOS simulator
by Brent Lewis 29 Nov '12

29 Nov '12

I've determined that pthread_cond_wait works fine on an iPhone (hardware) and works fine when called from my own module on simulator (I use boost::condition_variable, and since it's header only and calling pthread_cond_wait, it's my module) But when I create a new thread, which goes through thread.cpp in the thread library, call_once in once.hpp has to (sometimes, based on synchronization randomness) call pthread_cond_wait which results in the message: Detected an attempt to call a symbol in system libraries that is not present on the iPhone: (null) called from function _ZN5boost9call_onceIPFvvEEEvRNS_9once_flagET_ in image Blackjack If I make it continue, I get a problem report from OSX which tells me that the stack trace is: 0 libsystem_kernel.dylib 0x903a5a6a __pthread_kill + 10 1 libsystem_c.dylib 0x96afbacf pthread_kill + 101 2 libsystem_sim_c.dylib 0x03a0457b abort + 140 3 libSystem.dylib 0x032ad4ad _interposition_vtable_unimplemented + 200 4 libSystem.dylib 0x032c0938 pthread_cond_wait$UNIX2003 + 60 5 Blackjack 0x00277c8c void boost::call_once<void (*)()>(boost::once_flag&, void (*)()) + 156 (once.hpp:112) 6 Blackjack 0x0027506b thread_proxy + 139 (thread.cpp:135) 7 libsystem_c.dylib 0x96afa557 _pthread_start + 344 8 libsystem_c.dylib 0x96ae4cee thread_start + 34 Is it maybe some discrepancy in the settings I'm using to build boost that's causing to link something wrong... something else?

[graph] File Dependency Example with updates
by Brian Budge 28 Nov '12

28 Nov '12

Hi all - I am toying around with the file dependency example that is part of the boost graph documentation as a way of adapting the concepts to my own use cases. What I want to do is update the graph over time (add more files with more dependencies), and incrementally decide what needs to be built, and in what order. It makes sense that doing a breadth-first search from a changed node will give me everything that might be affected; however, if I change many nodes, is there something better? I could imagine that I might mark nodes as they are encountered so that other BFS from other changed nodes won't traverse those as well. With boost graph, how can I control the BFS to stop recursion if a vertex has already been visited? I guess then once I have seen all the stale vertices, I can make a smaller graph that only has the stale vertices and their connections, and I can topologically sort the sub-graph to find the parallel build order? Sorry, I'm a bit out of practice with my graph algorithms in general, and I'm very new to the boost graph library, so I hope I haven't said anything dumb :) Any design suggestions welcome. Thanks, Brian

[Review] Review results for Coroutines
by Hartmut Kaiser 24 Nov '12

24 Nov '12

All, The review for the Coroutines library written by Oliver Kowalke started September 3rd 2012, and ended on September 12th 2012. I counted 7 votes, none of which were NO. All authors votes YES, some made additional requests. Overall, the verdict of the community was clear: Oliver Kowalke's Coroutines library is ACCEPTED The discussion was lively and it touched on several points. Design ------ The Coroutines library offers enormous potential for programming regimes such as communications software and embedded systems design. Oliver selected a sensible granularity for his design. This granularity allows for fine-tuning the implementations of cooperative scheduling mechanisms while avoiding the prohibitively heavy weight of preemptive scheduling that is found in POSIX and often in implementations of the C++11 thread support library. In particular, the separation of Coroutines from Context allows for porting to other systems with minimal effort and maximum reliability and code re-use. Some suggestion related to the API have been made during the review, most of which (if not all) have already been addressed. Oliver has a full list of things and works on integrating the suggestions. Here is a short list: - allow to specify the allocator to use for memory allocations inside the library - remove 'self' pointer and replace with TLS - add symmetric coroutines API - better support for generator functionality Naming ------ Some of the people participating in the discussions suggested not to use the abbreviated 'namespace coro', but to use the full 'namespace coroutines' instead. This again is not a precondition for acceptance. Documentation ------------- The consensus of almost everybody referring to the documentation was that it is terse but readable and sufficient. People suggested to integrate the docs of the old Coroutines library (written as an GSoC project by Giovanni P. Deretta) into the documentation of the reviewed library. I would like to thank all who participated in the discussions. Regards Hartmut --------------- http://www.cct.lsu.edu/~hkaiser http://stellar.cct.lsu.edu http://boost-spirit.com

So, if the "old way" is published at all, use it (for backward compatibility, in case it is different from what decltype would detect). This allows lamdas and other code that assumes decltype is being used, while preseving the behavior of code that explicitly publishes the type. > - If F::result_type exists, return F::result_type; > - Else: << same as before >> Meanwhile, for different reasons, I made a macro that abstracts the >> different syntax between C++11 lambdas and Apple Block Closures.

However, Apple's Blocks do not have proper value semantics. You must call a function on it before leaving the scope where it was defined, if it is to be used outside of that scope. And then it needs to be explicitly destroyed when it is no longer needed. In order to use it transparently in C++, it needs to be wrapped in an object with a destructor, (and that wrapper can take care of the initial function call too). But we don't want to have to inject anything _after_ the compount-statement, or the macro syntax would be difficult, requiring either fully-bracketing macros or double parens around the whole thing. Meanwhile, the wrapper object needs to be templatized to provide the correct typed operator() forwarding function. My (JMD's) solution is to use an operator, which can take a second argument as trailing text without being wrapped in parens. That is, M would expand to dummy| ^ so that after the trailing text (not seen by the macro) you get: dummy| ^(ARGLIST){BLOCK} that is, the completed Apple Block Literal Expression becomes the second argument of the operator|, and my special object is the first argument. The operator| can be a template, and break open the Block type in the same manner as can be done for normal function pointer declarations. For wrapping a C++ lambda, reason is different (add the decltype) but you still return an instance of a class with the right stuff in it. The return value is a templated type, wrapper0<Ret>, wrapper1<Ret,A1>, or wrapper2<Ret,A1,A2> (etc) (an emulation of "..." for some fixed number of arguments) So, the _type_ is not unique, but reused for each time the same operator() is needed. The instance holds the underlying (wrapped) instance as a member. For Apple Blocks, that is just their variation on a function pointer, so the type goes with the signature. To wrap C++11 lamdas, the underlying instance has a unique type. So use _that_ as the template argument, and generate another unique type that you can inherit from. Using an operator| to add the wrapper, you can explicitly pull it in when needed along with any other filters that are being applied.

"cross-running" boost tests
by Gottlob Frege 23 Nov '12

23 Nov '12

I've managed to cross-compile boost for BlackBerry10 devices. (Side-note: there is very little docs on cross compiling) Now, how would I go about "cross-running" the boost tests? In particular, can I hook into the unit-test and/or run rules of Boost.Build? Given a command line, I can load and run it on device and then retrieve the results, I just need to know where to hook in. Tony

The serialization library in Boost doesn't provide support for intrusive containers, but the C++ Middleware Writer -- http://webEbenezer.net has support for intrusive list and rbtree. If you use std::list, the C++ Middleware Writer has some advantages -- http://webEbenezer.net/comparison.html over the serialization library in Boost. (There are serialization and deserialization tests with std::list there.) -- Brian Ebenezer Enterprises -- so far G-d has helped us. http://webEbenezer.net (651) 251-9384

[Intrusive] unordered_set and thread safety
by Alexandre Hamez 22 Nov '12

22 Nov '12

Hello, I'm currently using intrusive:: unordered_set in a single threaded application. But now, I need to switch to a multi threaded application. As such, the unordered_set must be protected. I don't want to block the whole table with a single mutex. Thus, it would be fine to have a lock per bucket. Furthermore, intrusive:: unordered_set provides a bucket_traits mechanism to enable some customization. So, my question: is it possible to use bucket_traits to have a lock per bucket? Thank you! -- Alexandre Hamez

SVN access problem

Hi, I am being asked for a username and password when attempting to check out Boost anonymously using the following command: $ svn co http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk boost-trunk This command was copy-pasted directly from the instructions for anonymous read-only access described at https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/BoostSubversion. This is holding up my progress in creating a patch - can anyone help? Thanks, Simon.

[ASIO] "perf" shows overhead of function calls is very high
by Junchang Wang 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

Hi list, I'm new to Boost.asio and am solving scaling problems of a Openflow (TCP based) server. We are using one single io_service for packets receiving and transmitting. A thread pool calling io_service::run() processes HTTP requests. A multi-core server is used. I found we can't get benefits from increasing the size of thread pool when it's size is larger than 6. In other words the system doesn't scale any more on more than 6 cores. I checked the program carefully and can make sure there's no lock contention. I profile the program with Linux perf, and it turns out up to 36% of CPU time is wasted in function calls. 36.39% : 0000000000103300 <boost::detail::function::void_function_obj_invoker3<vigil::openflow::v1::construct_and_load<vigil::openflow::v1::ofp_packet_out, vigil:: : BOOST_FUNCTION_TEMPLATE_PARMS : > : struct BOOST_FUNCTION_VOID_FUNCTION_OBJ_INVOKER : { : static BOOST_FUNCTION_VOID_RETURN_TYPE : invoke(function_buffer& function_obj_ptr BOOST_FUNCTION_COMMA 0.02 : 103300: push %rbp 99.66 : 103301: mov %rsp,%rbp 0.00 : 103304: push %r12 0.04 : 103306: mov %rcx,%r12 I printed out the call stack (attached at the tail of this email). It seems for a single packet processing there are more than 30 function calls within Boost. Can that explain why the CPU time on function calls is so high?

Re: [Boost-users] What is the best idiom for using call_once ?

A unique_ptr has a constructor (in C++03) so still has the problem. Or, maybe the article is just not clear on how it is to be used: if you must initialize an instance of lazy_init (to the null pointer internally) _before_ multiple threads ask it to be "initialized", that just pushes the problem back to the earlier step. I can see the usefulness though, if you just want to put off the expensive "real" initialization until needed, but can arrange the pre-initialization to be done for-sure earlier. > > http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12302057/c11-safe-double-checked-locking… This points out that under C++11 rules, static locals are thread safe for the first-time initialization. That explains why there is no fancy construct for doing so; it's just there! Nice. Or it will be, some day. I looked at the code generated by Microsoft VS2010 and it does not give this feature, alas. It does tell me though that a compatibility construct like I'm looking for ought to expand into a plain static local for compilers that do work that way; just let the compiler do it. All the more reason to abstract the issue for current uses! —John

What is the best idiom for using call_once ?
by John M. Dlugosz 17 Nov '12

17 Nov '12

Consider the issue of a static variable inside a function: the idea is to initialize on first use (if any). But we all know this is not thread safe, at least for the first call. Since the C++11 standard library includes a feature just like boost::call_once, that would seem to be the proper way to address this moving forward. And, I don't see anything in the standard that would be more powerful and direct for this purpose, which leaves me to wonder if there is still more that should have been done. But, my question is, what is the "best" or slickest way to use it (for this purpose)? If Lambda functions are available (which is not the case on every platform my code needs to support) _and_ the type of variable in question has some kind of "dead" state available, it's not too bad to write something like this: VarType obtain_singleton() { static boost::once_flag f=BOOST_ONCE_INIT; static VarType retval; boost::call_once (f, [] { retval=the_real_initialization(); }); return retval; } //...later // static VarType val= the_real_initialization; // !!not thread safe on first call!! static VarType val= obtain_singleton(); // do this instead (and write it in another function for conciseness) However, it's more awkward if I can't declare VarType retval to be pre-initialized to some "dead" value, or if it has any constructor at all and would itself re-introduce the thread safety issue! In short, it only works correctly (without the availability of the constexpr feature and types having constructors of such a nature) for primitive types. I've worked around it using a pointer and having the real_init function itself contain a static variable. That makes me think that there should be a simpler way to do it. Or, once the "best way" has been determined, why can't it be done once and succinctly reused? Anyone have one to share?

Updated serialization performance tests
by Brian Wood 16 Nov '12

16 Nov '12

Shalom I've updated this page -- http://webEbenezer.net/comparison.html with results from Boost 1.52. A few notes about the testing: I decided to use -O2 on the Linux/g++ tests. In previous tests I used -O3. I hadn't updated the Windows test results since the Boost 1.48 time-frame. Around Boost 1.51 I had to start building the serialization library in Boost with runtime-link=static in order to get the Windows tests to build. I haven't understood why that became necessary, but the results for the serialization library in Boost seem to have been adversely affected by this. On Windows, I now report that tests built with the serialization library in Boost are over 1.8 times slower than parallel Ebenezer tests. Previously I reported the tests built with the serialization library in Boost were between 1.7 and 1.8 times slower than the Ebenezer tests. -- Brian Ebenezer Enterprises -- making programming fun again. http://webEbenezer.net

Newbie-Question: recursive_directory_iterator and Unicode
by Andy 16 Nov '12

16 Nov '12

Hi all, i'm using the following code-part to show a file-listing of the current directory: boost::locale::generator gen; std::locale l = gen(""); std::locale::global(l); boost::filesystem::recursive_directory_iterator it(L"."); boost::filesystem::recursive_directory_iterator itEnd; while (it != itEnd) { if (boost::filesystem::status_known(it->status()) && boost::filesystem::is_regular(it->status())) { cout << it->path() << endl; } ++it; } This work's great but not if some files contain unicode-characters. If so, then a lot of ????'s will be printed. Could anyone show me how to print those unicode-characters to stdout? Using wcout won't print anything. I'm new to boost and unicode and i'm not sure if this is a problem of boost! I'm using MinGW (gcc (tdm-1) 4.6.1), Boost 1-52, ICU 50.1 - Output goes to the windows command-prompt (Already tried "chcp 65001") Thanks, Andreas

A Special Note for Boost 1.52.0 and Higher - how this affects me?
by Adam Romanek 15 Nov '12

15 Nov '12

Hi, I've just read the Special Note for Boost 1.52.0 and Higher. I must say that I don't fully understand what's going on and how this affects me. I'm using some of Boost's libraries with gcc on Ubuntu. Most often it's gcc 4.4.3, sometimes 4.6.3 but without C++0x mode. Does the change in boost::result_of affect me in any way? Can it make my code fail to compile or make it behave in a different way than before? I just don't understand whether a switch from Boost 1.51.0 to 1.52.0 may do any harm to my code. WBR, Adam Romanek

Am I building 64-bit Boost correctly?
by Ramon F Herrera 15 Nov '12

15 Nov '12

I have finally decided to get my feet wet, when it comes to the 64-bit world. Honestly, all my fears turned out to be valid, and then some. I have a MSVS-2010 Solution that includes several varied projects: GUI, libraries (both kids) and Shell Extensions. Since a couple of my projects depend on Boost (the greatest set of libraries ever known to man! Boost rocks! Boost rules!!... but I digress): I decided to start there. Since I am getting some boost-related error messages, I figure that step number zero is to make sure that my Boost installation is healthy. This is how I build it: .\bootstrap.bat .\bjam.exe --with-date_time --with-filesystem --with-regex --with-system --stagedir=. --build-type=complete toolset=msvc-10.0 address-model=64 Notice that the above commands have served me well for years (minus the last parameter, which I am now using for the first time). Is that all I need? TIA, -Ramon

read_graphml: read more than 1 graph from the same graphml file
by Bartha Attila 15 Nov '12

15 Nov '12

Hello ! Is there a way a to read more than one graph from a .graphml file using read_graphml ? Here's what I tried: -open an input stream to the graphml file; -call a function to read the graph from the file (the function uses read_graphml) and print the graph to stdout; -call the same function again, hoping that the second graph from the file will be read; -close the file input stream. If I call the function once, it works fine and returns the first graph defined in the graphml file. If I call the function the twice, I get the following runtime exception: 'boost::exception_detail::clone_impl<boost::exception_detail::error_info_injector<boost::property_tree::ptree_bad_path> >' what(): No such node (graphml) The graphml file looks like this : <graphml ....header stuff... > <key id= ...key definitions...> <graph id="TestSite1" edgedefault="undirected"> <node id="node0"> <data key="map">map1</data> <data key="x">5.0</data> <data key="y">1.0</data> </node> <node id="node1"> <data key="map">map1</data> <data key="x">5.0</data> <data key="y">4.0</data> </node> <edge source="node0" target="node1"/> </graph> <graph id="TestSite2" edgedefault="undirected"> <node id="node0"> <data key="map">map3</data> <data key="x">6.0</data> <data key="y">2.0</data> </node> <node id="node1"> <data key="map">map4</data> <data key="x">7.0</data> <data key="y">9.0</data> </node> <edge source="node0" target="node1"/> </graph></graphml> I can correctly get the data of TestSite1 graph if I call the function once. How can I get the TestSite2 graph from the same file, or, for that matter, how can I get one specific graph (ex TestSiteN) ? Thanx for any help, -attoparsec-

Further Boost.MPI development
by Matthias Troyer 15 Nov '12

15 Nov '12

Dear Boost.MPI users, With the MPI-3 standard having been finalized we want to intensify Boost.MPI development as soon as my crazy teaching schedule this fall gives me time from the middle of next month. With the deprecation of the - little used - official MPI C++ API in MPI-3 Boost.MPI has a chance of becoming a de facto standard C++ API for MPI. We first want to focus on features from MPI-2 and MPI-3 that are widely used or useful. For this purpose I would like to collect suggestions. Can you please reply and mention the functions of MPI that you would most like to see supported by Boost.MPI. Best regards Matthias

[coroutine] errors compiling with clang 3.2
by Marco Craveiro 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

Hi boost-users, As reported by Eugene Yakubovich[1], I am seeing problems compiling boost coroutine with clang 3.1 on debian testing. I got my sources from git://gitorious.org/boost-dev/boost-dev.git at commit c083660c54b88ca1ce9a940f4a71bc6c3ab89003. The error I get is: /boost/coroutine/detail/coroutine_object.hpp:54:46: error: expected expression Context * ctx( hldr->data.get().get< 0 >() ); ^ The same code compiles and runs fine with gcc 4.7. In both cases I'm using C++11. I just want to double-check that this is some kind of problem with clang - since 3.2 is on the wings I was wondering if this would be resolved by the upgrade. If anyone has managed to get it working with 3.1 I'd appreciate some pointers. Many thanks for your time, Marco -- So young, and already so unknown -- Pauli blog: http://mcraveiro.blogspot.com [1] http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/Review-Coroutine-reviewstarts-today-Sept…

boost asio: boost::asio::deadline_timer blocking ?
by Avi Bahra 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

Answers: 1. I doubt this is really an issue is with deadline_timer accuracy. 2. Are you double-scheduling the same timer? Or are you just doing some extra work, every time a single expiry event crosses a minute boundary? I wouldn't double-schedule the same timer, if that's what you're doing. >> No. I record the next minute boundary, when the timer fires, I check the current >> time against the minute boundary. So no double scheduling. 3. The timer may be susceptible to time changes on your system. It needn't be, but don't assume that means it's not. It might be worth looking at the implementation, to make sure. >> The problem occurs independent of the time change. 4. Slow disk could be an issue, but only if your io_service thread(s) are blocking on disk activity (either direct disk access or page faults). The file descriptors you're talking about have nothing to do with disk files, in this case. >> The current server is single threaded, so my this was my first suspect. >> I log every client request to a log file. I had suspected that a slow >> file system, would block when logging the client request, and affect the timer. >> I added extra instrumentation to time the logging. However this was not the cause 5. Depends on your accuracy needs and the load on the rest of the system. On a system under moderate loads, I'd expect no problems using ASIO to perform processing on a one-second granularity. Just be sure to compute the next expiry based the current time, rather than sleeping for 1 second. If you want to make this resilient to time change, you can use a monotonic timebase. Matt ================================================================ The client is designed to cancel long running connection to the server.. ( > 20seconds) This timeout is based on boost asio example: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_47_0/doc/html/boost_asio/example/timeouts/a… What I have noticed is that the 1 second timer in the server does not fire, *when* client request have been cancelled. It appears that some of chain of async handlers that are being called in the server, during this process, cause the timer to hang ? For example if the client cancels after 20 seconds, then something in the server must been blocking, for that period ? When the client cancels, the server::handle_write(..), closes both end of the socket. So I see the following message logged: shutdown: Transport endpoint is not connected Here is the async' functions in the server: void server::start_accept() { connection_ptr new_conn( new connection( io_service_ ) ); acceptor_.async_accept( new_conn->socket(), boost::bind( &server::handle_accept, this, boost::asio::placeholders::error, new_conn ) ); } void server::handle_accept( const boost::system::error_code& e, connection_ptr conn ) { if (!acceptor_.is_open()) { if (serverEnv_.debug()) cout << " server::handle_accept: acceptor is closed, returning\n"; return; } if ( !e ) { conn->async_read( inbound_request_, boost::bind( &server::handle_read, this, boost::asio::placeholders::error,conn ) ); } else { if (e != boost::asio::error::operation_aborted) { // An error occurred. Log it LogToCout toCoutAsWell; LOG(Log::ERR, " server::handle_accept error occurred " << e.message()); } } start_accept(); } void server::handle_read( const boost::system::error_code& e,connection_ptr conn ) { if ( !e ) { try { // Service the in bound request, handling the request will populate the outbound_response_ // Note:: Handle request will first authenticate outbound_response_.set_cmd( inbound_request_.handleRequest( this ) ); } catch (exception& e) { outbound_response_.set_cmd( PreAllocatedReply::error_cmd( e.what() )); } // *Reply* back to the client: conn->async_write( outbound_response_, boost::bind(&server::handle_write, this, boost::asio::placeholders::error, conn ) ); } else { LOG(Log::ERR, "server::handle_read error occurred : " << e.message()); } } void server::handle_write( const boost::system::error_code& e, connection_ptr conn ) { boost::system::error_code ec; conn->socket().shutdown(boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket::shutdown_both,ec); if (ec) { ecf::LogToCout logToCout; LOG(Log::ERR,"server::handle_write: socket shutdown both failed: " << ec.message()); return; } } I had noticed that I was not checking error code in the server::handle_write(..) but I'm not sure if this would account, for why the timer does not fire temporarily.

[msm] Why does it take so many bytes to represent a state machine?
by ☂Josh Chia (谢任中) 13 Nov '12

13 Nov '12

Hi, I'm using msm to store the state of many small objects. Each one is around 24 bytes on its own. However, I just found out from experimentation that a MSM state machine takes many bytes to store. For the following program, the print out is: entering: State1 104 48 This indicates that the very simple one-state, no-transition, machine is 104 bytes, and takes 48 bytes even to serialized. The front::state_machine_def, however, is only 1 byte, though I suspect thet real state is stored only in the 104-byte back::state_machine. Even the SimpleTutorial.cpp example, when I adapt it to print the size, shows 128 bytes. Theoretically, all this information take no more than a few bits to store, and one byte is generous. What's the internal representation of a state machine and how can I optimize the size of the representation? This matters for my use case because I have many small objects for which I want to maintain state, that are only ~20 bytes each. I thought perhaps I could mitigate this size problem by storing the serialized bytes but even the serialized bytes are many. I'm using boost 1.51 and gcc 4.7.2 on 64-bit Linux. Josh #include <iostream> #include <strstream> #include <boost/archive/text_oarchive.hpp> #include <boost/msm/back/state_machine.hpp> #include <boost/msm/front/functor_row.hpp> #include <boost/msm/front/state_machine_def.hpp> using namespace std; namespace mpl = boost::mpl; namespace msm = boost::msm; using namespace msm::front; struct Event { }; struct state_ : public msm::front::state_machine_def<state_> { struct State1 : public msm::front::state<> { // optional entry/exit methods template <class Event,class FSM> void on_entry(Event const&, FSM& f) { std::cout << "entering: State1" << std::endl; } template <class Event,class FSM> void on_exit(Event const&,FSM& ) { std::cout << "leaving: State1" << std::endl; } }; typedef State1 initial_state; struct transition_table : mpl::vector< > {}; }; typedef msm::back::state_machine<state_> State; int main() { State state; state.start(); cout << sizeof(state) << endl; ostrstream os; { boost::archive::text_oarchive oa(os); oa << state; } cout << os.pcount() << endl; return 0; }

[msm] How to cause no_transition for cases of guard returning false?
by ☂Josh Chia (谢任中) 13 Nov '12

13 Nov '12

Hi, I want no_transition() to be called whenever no row matches, even if there is a row that does not match only because the guard returns false. How can I achieve this? I want to be strict about the input events. I can probably workaround this by putting guardless rows at the top whose action is to call no_transition(), but I'm hoping to find a cleaner solution. If I get this behavior in msm, then the following code should output "no transition..." as its last line. Right now, with boost 1.51, it doesn't. It just prints "entering State1". Josh #include <iostream> #include <boost/msm/back/state_machine.hpp> #include <boost/msm/front/functor_row.hpp> #include <boost/msm/front/state_machine_def.hpp> using namespace std; namespace mpl = boost::mpl; namespace msm = boost::msm; using namespace msm::front; struct Event { Event(bool data) : data(data) { } bool data; }; struct state_ : public msm::front::state_machine_def<state_> { struct MyGuard { template <class EVT, class FSM, class SourceState, class TargetState> bool operator()(EVT const& e, FSM&, SourceState&, TargetState&) { return e.data; } }; struct State1 : public msm::front::state<> { // optional entry/exit methods template <class Event,class FSM> void on_entry(Event const&, FSM& f) { std::cout << "entering: State1" << std::endl; } template <class Event,class FSM> void on_exit(Event const&,FSM& ) { std::cout << "leaving: State1" << std::endl; } }; struct State2 : public msm::front::state<> { // optional entry/exit methods template <class Event,class FSM> void on_entry(Event const&, FSM& f) { std::cout << "entering: State2" << std::endl; } template <class Event,class FSM> void on_exit(Event const&,FSM& ) { std::cout << "leaving: State2" << std::endl; } }; typedef State1 initial_state; struct transition_table : mpl::vector< Row< State1, Event , State2, none, MyGuard > > {}; template <class FSM, class Event> void no_transition(Event const& e, FSM&, int state) { std::cout << "no transition from state " << state << " on event " << typeid(e).name() << std::endl; } }; typedef msm::back::state_machine<state_> State; int main() { State state; state.start(); state.process_event(Event(false)); return 0; }

[Locale] MinGW + ICU + cross compiling = wchar errors?
by Jookia 13 Nov '12

13 Nov '12

Hello! I'm trying to compile Boost.Locale 1.51.0 with ICU 1.50 support in x86_64 MinGW-w64 4.7.2. So to start off, I have a structure of all my libs, includes and whatnot at /home/jookia/Programming/mingw64. I've built ICU using this command and installed it: CXXFLAGS=-fpermissive ../configure --prefix=/home/jookia/Programming/mingw64/ --host x86_64-w64-mingw32 --with-cross-build=/home/jookia/Programming/local/icu/source/build --enable-static --enable-shared --with-data-packaging=archive --with-library-bits=64 Building Boost uses this user-config: using gcc : 4.7 : x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ : <rc>x86_64-w64-mingw32-windres <archiver>x86_64-w64-mingw32-ar <compileflags>-I/home/jookia/Programming/mingw64/include/ <linkflags>-L/home/jookia/Programming/mingw64/lib/ ; and this command: bjam threadapi=win32 target-os=windows variant=release threading=multi link=shared runtime-link=shared --prefix=/home/jookia/Programming/mingw64 --user-config=user-config.jam --without-python --without-mpi --layout=tagged -sNO_BZIP=1 -sNO_ZLIB=1 install In order to try and build Boost.Locale I've patched its Jamfile to remove the shared libstdc++ stuff as MinGW doesn't seem to support it, and also rename all of the searched-lib <name>s to their MSVC equivalents so I can find those. The command it used to build is this (stuff omitted to save space): "x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++" "-Wl,--out-implib,bin.v2/libs/locale/build/.../libboost_locale-mt.dll.a" -o "bin.v2/libs/locale/build/.../libboost_locale-mt.dll" -Wl,-h -Wl,libboost_locale-mt.dll -shared -Wl,--start-group ... -Wl,-Bstatic -Wl,-Bdynamic -licuuc -licuin -licudt -liconv -Wl,--end-group -L/home/jookia/Programming/mingw64/lib/ -mthreads Compiling works fine up until linking, where it gives a few errors like this (paths and mangled names omitted to save sapce): bin.v2/.../formatter.o:formatter.cpp:(... undefined reference to `icu_50::UnicodeString::UnicodeString(wchar_t const*, int)' Is there any solution to this or is this something to do with MinGW's lack of support for wchars? Thanks, Jookia.

boost::variant compile error
by Georg.Kellerer＠lfu.bayern.de 13 Nov '12

Hi, i'd like to build a heterogenous container based on the boost::variant datastructure. My code looks like this: // forward-Deklarationen: class fExport FB_Ordered; class fExport FB_Dictionary; // Typedefs typedef boost::variant<int, std::string> keydicttype; typedef boost::variant< int, std::string, date, ptime, boost::recursive_wrapper<FB_Dictionary>, boost::recursive_wrapper<FB_Ordered>> valuedicttype; typedef boost::container::map<keydicttype, valuedicttype> basedict; C:\dev\boost_1_52_0\boost/checked_delete.hpp(32) : error C2027: use of undefined Type "FB_Ordered" what i want to do is to create a container fb_dictionary which can hold datatypes that are listed in the valuedicttype and which can accept keyvalues of int and string (see above). fb_ordered is another container defined in a diferent header file so i need the forward declarations. Could anybody please give me a hint in the right direction? I am using vs2008. Thanks for help, Georg

Threading and Asio
by Gonzalo Garramuno 12 Nov '12

12 Nov '12

I started playing with asio server/client model and I run into a problem. I have a thread for the server, another for the client and another for the send/receive message. This results in: write: Socket operation on non-socket as the send thread is not made aware of the socket initialized in the client thread. I'm wondering what is the solution to have the send in a separate thread.

by Ilya Orlov 11 Nov '12

11 Nov '12

I have following code: // from A11 and A12 and back struct Ev1 : sc::event < Ev1 >{}; struct Ev2 : sc::event < Ev2 >{}; // from A to B and back struct Ev3 : sc::event < Ev3 >{}; struct Ev4 : sc::event < Ev4 >{}; // from A1 to A2 and back struct Ev5 : sc::event < Ev5 >{}; struct Ev6 : sc::event < Ev6 >{}; struct StateA; struct StateA1; struct StateA11; struct StateA12; struct StateA2; struct StateA21; struct StateA22; struct StateB; struct Machine : sc::state_machine < Machine, StateA > {}; struct StateA : sc::simple_state < StateA, Machine, mpl::list < sc::deep_history < StateA1 > >, sc::has_deep_history > { typedef sc::transition < Ev3, StateB > reactions; }; struct StateA1 : sc::simple_state < StateA1, StateA, mpl::list < sc::deep_history < StateA11 > >, sc::has_deep_history > { typedef sc::transition < Ev5, StateA2 > reactions; }; struct StateA11 : sc::simple_state < StateA11, StateA1 > { typedef sc::transition < Ev1, StateA12 > reactions; }; struct StateA12 : sc::simple_state < StateA12, StateA1 > { typedef sc::transition < Ev2, StateA11 > reactions; }; struct StateA2 : sc::simple_state < StateA2, StateA, mpl::list < sc::deep_history < StateA21 > >, sc::has_deep_history > { typedef sc::transition < Ev6, StateA1 > reactions; }; struct StateA21 : sc::simple_state < StateA21, StateA2 > {}; struct StateA22 : sc::simple_state < StateA22, StateA2 > {}; struct StateB : sc::simple_state < StateB, Machine > { typedef sc::custom_reaction < Ev4 > reactions; sc::result react(const Ev4&) { std::cout << "react" << std::endl; return transit < sc::deep_history < StateA11 > >(); } }; I am sending events like this: Machine m; m.initiate(); std::cout << "Ev5" << std::endl; m.process_event(Ev5()); std::cout << "Ev3" << std::endl; m.process_event(Ev3()); std::cout << "Ev4" << std::endl; m.process_event(Ev4()); After Ev5 machine goes to A2 -> A21 state. After Ev3 machine leaves state A with history and goes to state B. After Ev4 machine leaves state B and should go back to A2 -> A21 but actually goes to A -> A1 -> A11 - default states. How I can fix it? Thanks, Ilya

The following libraries have been accepted provisionally to Boost, but have not been submitted for mini-review and full acceptance: * Endian - accepted provisionally November 2011; author: Beman Dawes. * Log - accepted provisionally March 2010; author: Andrey Semashev. General Announcements ===================== As always, we need experienced review managers. Please take a look at the list of libraries in need of managers and check out their descriptions. In general review managers are active boost participants, including library contributors, infrastructure contributors, and other mailing list participants with a substantial track record of constructive participation. If you can serve as review manager for any of them, email Ron Garcia or John Phillips, "rxg at cs dot cmu dot edu" and "phillips at pacific dot mps dot ohio-state dot edu" respectively. We are also suffering from a lack of reviewers. While we all understand time pressures and the need to complete paying work, the strength of Boost is based on the detailed and informed reviews submitted by you. If you are interested in reviewing a library but won't have time during the review period, you can always prepare your review ahead of time. No rule says you can only work on a review during the review period. A link to this report will be posted to www.boost.org. If you would like us to make any modifications or additions to this report, please email Ron or John. The review schedule is an unordered list of the libraries awaiting review. As such, any library on the schedule can be reviewed once the developer is ready, a review manager has been secured, and the manager, developer, and wizards agree on a date to schedule the review. Review Schedule =============== * Join (M) * Pimpl (M) * Sorting (M) * Quaternions, Vectors, Matrices (M) * Variadic Macro Data (M) * Block Pointer (M) * Singularity (M) * Extended Complex Numbers (M) * Metaparse (M) * Polygon: Voronoi Extensions * Coroutine * Range Extensions * Nowide (M) * Array (M) * TypeIndex (M) * STL Extensions (M) ``(M)`` marks libraries that need review managers. -------------------- Join ---- :Author: Yigong Liu :Review Manager: Needed :Download: http://channel.sourceforge.net/ :Description: Join is an asynchronous, message based C++ concurrency library based on join calculus. It is applicable both to multi-threaded applications and to the orchestration of asynchronous, event-based applications. It follows Comega's design and implementation and builds with Boost facilities. It provides a high level concurrency API with asynchronous methods, synchronous methods, and chords which are "join-patterns" defining the synchronization, asynchrony, and concurrency. Pimpl ----- :Author: Vladimir Batov :Review Manager: Needed :Download: https://github.com/boost-vault/Miscellaneous/blob/master/Pimpl.zip :Description: The Pimpl idiom is a simple yet robust technique to minimize coupling via the separation of interface and implementation and then implementation hiding. This library provides a convenient yet flexible and generic deployment technique for the Pimpl idiom. It's seemingly complete and broadly applicable, yet minimal, simple and pleasant to use. Sorting ------- :Author: Steven Ross :Review Manager: Needed :Download: https://github.com/boost-vault/Sorting :Description: A grouping of 3 templated hybrid radix/comparison-based sorting algorithms that provide superior worst-case and average-case performance to std::sort: integer_sort, which sorts fixed-size data types that support a rightshift (default of >>) and a comparison (default of <) operator. float_sort, which sorts standard floating-point numbers by safely casting them to integers. string_sort, which sorts variable-length data types, and is optimized for 8-bit character strings. All 3 algorithms have O(n(k/s + s)) runtime where k is the number of bits in the data type and s is a constant, and limited memory overhead (in the kB for realistic inputs). In testing, integer_sort varies from 35% faster to 2X as fast as std::sort, depending on processor, compiler optimizations, and data distribution. float_sort is roughly 70% faster than std::sort. string_sort is roughly 2X as fast as std::sort. Quaternions, Vectors, Matrices ------------------------------ :Author: Emil Dotchevski :Review Manager: Needed :Download: http://www.revergestudios.com/boost-qvm/ :Description: QVM defines a set of generic functions and operator overloads for working with quaternions, vectors and matrices of static size. The library also defines vector and matrix data types, however it allows users to introduce their own types by specializing the q_traits, v_traits and m_traits templates. Variadic Macro Data ------------------- :Author: Edward Diener :Review Manager: Needed :Download: `Boost Sandbox <http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/variadic_macro_data/>`__ :Description: This library adds support and functionality for variadic macros to Boost as well as integrating variadic macros with the Boost PP library without changing the latter library in any way. Block Pointer ------------- :Author: Phil Bouchard :Review Manager: Needed :Download: https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/block_ptr/ :Description: Deterministic memory manager of constant complexity capable of handling cyclic collections. Singularity ----------- :Author: Ben Robinson :Review Manager: Needed :Download: https://github.com/cppmaven/Singularity :Description: The Singularity Design Pattern allows you to restrict any class to a single instance. Unlike the infamous Singleton, Singularity gives you direct control over the lifetime of the object, does not require you to grant global access to the object, nor does it limit you to the default constructor for that object. Extended Complex Numbers ------------------------ :Author: Matthieu Schaller :Review Manager: Needed :Download: http://code.google.com/p/cpp-imaginary-numbers/ :Description: The library is an extension of the std::complex class addressing two issues: 1. The standard does not guaranty the behaviour of the complex class if instantiated with types other than float/double/long double. 2. Some calculation where pure imaginary numbers (i.e. multiples of sqrt(-1)) appear are unnecessarily slowed down due to the lack of support for these numbers. The code I submit contains two interleaved classes boost::complex and boost::imaginary which can be instantiated with any type T provided T overloads the usual arithmetic operators and some basic (real) mathematical functions depending on which complex function will be used. It is thus an extended version of Thorsten Ottosen's n1869 proposal (http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG21/docs/papers/2005/n1869.html) Metaparse --------- :Author: Abel Sinkovics :Review Manager: Needed :Download: http://abel.web.elte.hu/metaparse/metaparse.zip :Description: Metaparse is a library for constructing parsers parsing at compile-time based on template metaprogramming. The parsers built with the library take boost::mpl::strings as input and can produce - types - objects (types with public static members) - callable C++ functions (types with public static method) - template metafunction classes as output (based on the input being parsed). On compilers supporting constexpr the library provides the following syntactic sugar for writing the input of the parsers: BOOST_STRING("this is a string") The library can be used for implementing DSLs in C++, including DSLs making C++ template metaprogramming easier (see examples). Polygon: Voronoi Extensions --------------------------- :Author: Andril Sydorchuk :Review Manager: Lucanus Simonson :Download: http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/gtl/ :Description: This library extends Boost.Polygon with the following features: - Robust and efficient implementation of the sweepline algorithm that allows to construct Voronoi diagram, Delaunay triangulation and medial axis of a set of points and line segments. - Coordinates of the output geometries are computed within the 64 machine epsilon relative error (6 mantissa bits). - Voronoi diagram data structure that allows efficient traversal and data association with the output Voronoi graph. - No 3rd party dependencies (e.g. GMP, MPFR), all the required multiple precision types are implemented as part of the library. - The input and output coordinate type domains are configurable via coordinate type traits, thus allowing to compute coordinates of the Voronoi vertices within any required precision. - The full construction of the Voronoi diagram of 100 000 points takes only 0.27 seconds (see benchmarks). Coroutine --------- :Author: Oliver Kowalke :Review Manager: Hartmut Kaiser :Download: http://gitorious.org/boost-dev/boost-dev/archive-tarball/coroutine :Description: This library is an implementation of coroutines and generators using Boost.Context. Range Extensions ---------------- :Author: Akira Takahashi :Review Manager: Neil Groves :Download: https://github.com/faithandbrave/OvenToBoost :Description: This project adds some features of the Oven Range Library to Boost.Range. Features: - Additional Range Adaptors (taken, taken_while, dropped, dropped_while, elements, elements_key, memoized, outdirected) - Extensions for using Lambda (regular function, regular operator) - Infinite Range (iteration function) - and additional range utilities. Nowide ------ :Author: Artyom Beilis :Review Manager: Needed :Download: http://cppcms.com/files/nowide/ :Description: This library makes cross platform Unicode aware programming easier. It provides an implementation of standard C and C++ library functions, such that their inputs are UTF-8 aware on Windows without requiring to use Wide API. Array ----- :Author: Brian Smith :Review Manager: Needed :Download: https://github.com/BrianJSmith/Array :Description: The array class is a C++11 compatible implementation of static multidimensional arrays. TypeIndex --------- :Author: Antony Polukhin :Review Manager: Needed :Download: https://github.com/apolukhin/type_index :Description: TypeIndex is an extended C++11 type_index library, that * works with disabled RTTI * can store const-volatile-reference info about types (if user requested it) * has all the functionality of std::type_index * has portable across compilers and platforms functionality for getting demangled type names * works across modules/shared libraries * does not require C++11 to work STL Extensions -------------- :Author: Vadim Stadnik :Review Manager: Needed :Download: https://github.com/vstadnik/stl_ext_adv_review :Description: The proposed library [stl_ext_adv] offers augmented array based B+ trees and STL containers that support the interfaces of the C++03 sequences and associative containers. The library offers a number of extensions and performance improvements that are not available in C++03 and C++11 standard containers. Libraries under development =========================== See http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/LibrariesUnderConstruction for a current listing of libraries under development.

smart_ptr/enable_shared_from_raw
by Andreas Beisler 09 Nov '12

09 Nov '12

Hi, it's known that calling shared_from_this() in a constructor doesn't work. It seems that whenever this issue arises, people resort to creating a factory that first constructs the object and then calls an init function in which the user is free to call shared_from_this(). It seems though that there is a perfectly working enable_shared_from_raw class in the trunk since a couple of years now that allows the developer to call shared_from_raw(this) in a constructor. Are there plans of merging this into a release sometime? If not, is it safe to throw out the smart_ptr stuff of a release (I'm using 1.48.0 still) and replace it with the version from the trunk? Thanks, Andreas

Boost::Asio help for viewer
by Gonzalo Garramuno 09 Nov '12

09 Nov '12

I am designing a viewer that communicates via the network some actions, like playback, scrubbing, etc. I decided to code it with boost::asio, but I am too unfamiliar with it and the examples did not help much. What I need is the following: - server starts a group - one client connects to server - server and client do several handshake transmissions to sync (same movie file, etc). - client or server perform a playback or a seek to certain frame and the other (client or server) follows. Can someone suggest what should I use and what steps to take in draft form? Currently I have two threads one for the server and one for the client but lack knowledge of the asio api on how to perform a handshake (a send/receive pair, basically).

boost asio: boost::asio::deadline_timer blocking ?
by Avi Bahra 09 Nov '12

09 Nov '12

Using boost asio 1.47, suse linux 11.3, gcc 4.5 I am using boost::asio::deadline_timer, where the timer fires every second. When the timer expires, I check responses from the clients. I use the same timer to check when I have reach the minute boundary, so that server can do some other work. Now 99.9% of the time this works perfectly. However occasionally the timer does not fire every second, in fact it can delay/block for several minutes! This is what I use: timer_.expires_from_now( boost::posix_time::seconds( 1 ) ); timer_.async_wait( server_->io_service_.wrap( boost::bind( &NodeTreeTraverser::traverse,this,boost::asio::placeholders::error ) ) ); When I run strace on the process I see: epoll_wait(4, {{EPOLLIN, {u32=15957244, u64=15957244}}}, 128, 4294967295) = 1 timerfd_settime(5, 0, {it_interval={0, 0}, it_value={16, 944525000}}, {it_interval={16048400, 15957984}, it_value={140733847085872, 6025966}}) = 0 timerfd_settime(5, 0, {it_interval={0, 0}, it_value={0, 999992000}}, {it_interval={15958092, 6011901}, it_value={17195917584, 140733847086024}}) = 0 I have several questions: o Are there known problems with boost::asio::deadline_timer accuracy I realise I need soft real time, with one minute resolution. o Should I have two separate timers, one 1 second & for 1 minute o Is using timer_.expires_at(...) more reliable, I assume this affects how it configures timerfd_settime o Now I suspect this issue may be related to slow disk system Could a slow disk system affect timerfd_settime system call, since it is based on file descriptors. o Are there any well known asio based design patterns/idioms for ensuring reliable timer resolutions Any help appreciated. Ta, Avi

[thread] thread.join() throws in 1.52.0
by Szymon Gatner 09 Nov '12

09 Nov '12

Hi, after updating from 1.51.0 to 1.52.0 call to a thread::join() throws "invalid_argument" / not joinable. I see that there is a change with regards to thread d-tor in this version but I don't really understand if and why this is related. Should joinable() be called now before every join()? -- Szymon Gatner The Lordz Games Studio www.thelordzgamesstudio.com

Unit Test Framework Static library compilation
by Edouard Tallent 08 Nov '12

08 Nov '12

Hi all. This is Boost 1.52.0 and Visual Studio 2012 Express (VC11). I am stuck with the static compilation of the Unit Test Framework, as documented here: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_52_0/libs/test/doc/html/utf/compilation/sta… I get the message 'bjam' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file while using the command bjam [-sTOOLS=] {-sBUILD=boost_unit_test_framework} as read in the documentation. Boost is not installed on my computer (header-only). And, maybe the library Boost.build HAS to be installed first? (if it so, how do I do that?) That would be great if someone give a clear explanation of that. Thank you very much, indeed. Édouard -- http://quantcorner.wordpress.com

ptr_map<U, T> with polymorphic U
by Victor Snyder 08 Nov '12

08 Nov '12

ptr_map<U, T> lets me map simple types to pointers-to-T, preserving polymorphic behavior of the mapped-to objects, and clearly stating that the ptr_map solely owns the pointed-to objects. I'd like to map pointers-to-U to pointers-to-T and have the map solely own the key objects as well as the mapped-to objects. ptr_map doesn't do this. I could map shared_ptrs-to-U to pointers-to-T, but then I lose the clear ownership semantics. Does anyone know of an easy workaround to get the behavior and semantics that I want, or is this more properly a feature request? Thanks!

pattern support for traversing inheritance chain
by Brian Budge 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

Hi all - I have a case where I have a largeish inheritance hierarchy. I will be calling an initialization function on all objects before using them in some fashion. Basically what I need to happen is when I call init() on a Foo the following would occur: void Foo::init() { super::init(); // now with the knowledge that anything I inherited is set up, I can set myself up... } It is not necessary for every call to implement init, in which case the behavior should be that the call is propagated up the inheritance chain (which it is by default in C++). In order to make this work, I need to write different code for "super" in every class implementation, which is a bit error prone. Even if I don't copy/paste, my brain might be on autopilot and type something further up the inheritance chain than it should be. Alternatively, I could require that each class provides a typedef for super, but I'm still relying on myself to remember to call super's init function. Is there anything in boost that would support this kind of hierarchy traversal (semi-)automatically? If there is not, are there suggestions for ways to implement this in a less error-prone fashion? Thanks, Brian

Virtual memory exhausted compile error with too many Boost state machine transitions
by Adlai Shawareb 06 Nov '12

06 Nov '12

All, We are getting the virtual memory exhausted error when compiling a Boost state machine file. If we cut back the number of state transitions in this state machine, we do not get the error, and the compile completes without errors. We are using Boost 1.49. Here is what we have done: 1) Allocated 4GB of memory to our Virtual Machine(it runs Ubuntu), and created a 4.5GB swap file. When I compile I look at the System Monitor dialog, and can see that the RAM memory is not even used up when we get the compile error. The virtual memory is never used. 2) I saw online that the 3.80 version of make had a bug that would cause this type of error. I've confirmed that we are using 3.81. I also tried 3.82, but get the same error. 3) I've confirmed that "ulimit -v" returns "unlimited" 4) Looking online, I saw a recommendation to add the following two lines to /etc/security/limits.conf. I've tried this but I still get the error. * hard rss unlimited * hard cpu unlimited 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) We have set up precompiled headers, and I've added SystemHSM.hpp, and associated Boost include files to our list of precompiled headers. However, I still get the error. 6) FYI - In the past we ran up against Boost's limit of 20 state transitions per state machine. To get around that, I've added the following to SystemHSM.cpp: #define BOOST_MPL_CFG_NO_PREPROCESSED_HEADERS // Discard the pre-generated headers and use preprocessor metaprogramming techniques to generate the necessary versions of the library components on the fly. #define BOOST_MPL_LIMIT_VECTOR_SIZE 50 // Increase the default (transition table) vector size beyond the standard limit of 20. #include <boost/mpl/vector.hpp> 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) FYI - We recently ran into an issue with the set size in the SystemHSM #define BOOST_FUSION_DONT_USE_PREPROCESSED_FILES #define FUSION_MAX_VECTOR_SIZE 30 #define FUSION_MAX_SET_SIZE 30 #include <boost/mpl/set.hpp> In addition I have looked for this type of error with gcc, but have not found anything concrete online. Any help would be appreciated!

Question about boost::locale translations
by Bastien Montagne 06 Nov '12

06 Nov '12

Hi everybody! :) I’m currently trying to replace libintl (from gnu gettext) by boost::locale lib, in a (mostly) C program (blender, actually). To do so, I wrote a simplistic wrapper: #include <boost/locale.hpp> #include "boost_locale_wrapper.h" static boost::locale::generator gen; /* Called only once */ void boost_locale_init(const char *messages_path, const char *default_domain) { gen.add_messages_path(messages_path); gen.add_messages_domain(default_domain); gen.set_default_messages_domain(default_domain); } /* Called each time you change locale */ void boost_locale_set(const char *locale) { if (locale && locale[0]) { std::locale::global(gen(locale)); } else { std::locale::global(gen("")); } } const char* boost_locale_gettext(const char *msgid) { return boost::locale::gettext(msgid).c_str(); } (this wrapper lib is linked statically with the main app) But I'm facing a big problem: I would expect strings returned by boost::locale::gettext & co to be "const", i.e. that the char pointer gotten by boost::locale::gettext(msgid).c_str() would be const (and unique to a given locale/msgid/context/etc.), as it is with gnu gettext. But this is obviously not the case, as demonstrated by those prints (translated_msgid (address)): Serbe latin (Srpski latinica) (0x7fcaed0dac58) sr_RS@latin (0x7fcaee1e5628) Suédois (Svenska) (0x7fcaed0dac58) sv_SE (0x7fcaee1e5628) Am I missing something obvious here, or are returned string just not "const"? If so, how can a code like: MessageBoxW(0,pgettext <http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_49_0/libs/locale/doc/html/group__message.ht…>(L"File Dialog",L"Open?").c_str(),gettext <http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_49_0/libs/locale/doc/html/group__message.ht…>(L"Question").c_str(),MB_YESNO); (taken from boost doc) could work? I'm quite new to all this C++2C stuff (and to boost too), so please forgive me if this is a noob question... Best regards, Bastien

Re: [Boost-users] Is this possible with boost? Linear Interpolation?
by rakesh patil 06 Nov '12

06 Nov '12

Hey Joel, Thanks for your quick reply. I check those links. If I am not mis-understood, that library can be used to compute intermediate values for a given range. In my case it is a polyline. The track of polyline must be maintained properly. The topology must not change here. Even if it changes, the change must not be a major one. So this one won't be of much use as of now. And before posting the question I checked Boost.Geometry. But I didn't find what I want. Any other possibilities other than writing my own code to do this? Thanks Regards

Worth reporting warnings for 1.52?
by Lemay.Steve 06 Nov '12

I know the documentation says to expect warnings during compilation. So, are these boost 1.52 warnings worth reporting? Or are they typically tolerated?

Is this possible with boost? Linear Interpolation?
by rakesh patil 06 Nov '12

06 Nov '12

Hello, I have a set of xy points(forms a polyline). What I want to do is, with the help of existing set of points, I need to redistribute the number of points such that the first and last point remain is same position. The intermediate points will change. For example, initally I have set of 10 points. I want to redistribute this polyline containing 10 points into 40 points. But the first and last point must remain as it is. Internal points may be adjusted. I guess interpolation should be used for this. What I want to know is that whether this is possible to do using boost c++ library? Thanks Regards

On Windows, how does Boost decide which MSVS version to use, if I have more than one installed?
by Ramon F Herrera 05 Nov '12

05 Nov '12

When I tried to build some app, I ended up with this error message: 1>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_filesystem-vc80-mt-1_51.lib' I am sure it is due to the fact that I have a couple of Boost installations and 2 Versions of MSVS as well (2005 and 2010). NB: This is the way I build Boost on Windows: .\bootstrap.bat .\bjam.exe --with-date_time --with-filesystem --with-regex --with-system --stagedir=. --build-type=complete toolset=msvc The question is about that last parameter above. Does the install procedure: (a) Go to "Program Files" and takes a look at the name of the highest numbered MSVS folder? or (b) Is this info extracted from the Registry or something? TIA, -Ramon

Linking problems with boost serialization and MinGW
by Florian Burkart 05 Nov '12

05 Nov '12

Hi, I am having a bit of trouble linking to boost serialization with MinGW. If I don't include -lboost_serialization-mgw46-mt-d-1_50 I get loads of undefined references, however, if I do include it, most disappear but I still get some, namely I get RDebug/libFlamLib.a(Common_Collector.o): In function `ZN5boost7archive21basic_text_oprimitiveISoE4saveINS0_14object_id_typeEEEvRKT_': /Sys/boost/MinGW32/boost_1_50_0/include/boost-1_50/boost/archive/basic_text_oprimitive.hpp:89: undefined reference to `boost::archive::archive_exception::archive_exception(boost::archive::archive_exception::exception_code, char const*, char const*)' RDebug/libFlamLib.a(Common_Collector.o): In function `ZN5boost7archive21basic_text_oprimitiveISoE4saveINS0_21object_reference_typeEEEvRKT_': /Sys/boost/MinGW32/boost_1_50_0/include/boost-1_50/boost/archive/basic_text_oprimitive.hpp:89: undefined reference to `boost::archive::archive_exception::archive_exception(boost::archive::archive_exception::exception_code, char const*, char const*)' RDebug/libFlamLib.a(Common_Collector.o): In function `ZN5boost7archive21basic_text_oprimitiveISoE4saveINS0_13class_id_typeEEEvRKT_': /Sys/boost/MinGW32/boost_1_50_0/include/boost-1_50/boost/archive/basic_text_oprimitive.hpp:89: undefined reference to `boost::archive::archive_exception::archive_exception(boost::archive::archive_exception::exception_code, char const*, char const*)' RDebug/libFlamLib.a(Common_Collector.o): In function `ZN5boost7archive21basic_text_oprimitiveISoE4saveINS0_23class_id_reference_typeEEEvRKT_': /Sys/boost/MinGW32/boost_1_50_0/include/boost-1_50/boost/archive/basic_text_oprimitive.hpp:89: undefined reference to `boost::archive::archive_exception::archive_exception(boost::archive::archive_exception::exception_code, char const*, char const*)' RDebug/libFlamLib.a(Common_Collector.o): In function `ZN5boost7archive21basic_text_oprimitiveISoE4saveINS0_13tracking_typeEEEvRKT_': /Sys/boost/MinGW32/boost_1_50_0/include/boost-1_50/boost/archive/basic_text_oprimitive.hpp:89: undefined reference to `boost::archive::archive_exception::archive_exception(boost::archive::archive_exception::exception_code, char const*, char const*)' RDebug/libFlamLib.a(Common_Collector.o):/Sys/boost/MinGW32/boost_1_50_0/include/boost-1_50/boost/archive/basic_text_oprimitive.hpp:89: more undefined references to `boost::archive::archive_exception::archive_exception(boost::archive::archive_exception::exception_code, char const*, char const*)' follow Basically they all refer to "`boost::archive::archive_exception::archive_exception". boost serialization built fine with .\b2.exe --prefix=c:\Sys\boost\MinGW32\boost_1_50_0 toolset=gcc address-model=32 --with-serialization install The same code compiles and links just fine with gcc on linux and MSVC on windows. I haven't isolate the issue yet, so am afraid can't give a reproducible sample, but any ideas so far? Maybe look familiar? Thanks, Florian

Symantec Norton shold not longer flag boost_signals-vc100-mt-gd-1_50.dll as suspicious

I was slightly inconvenienced by having the new version of boost_signals-vc100-mt-gd-1_50.dll that I had just built flagged by Norton as suspicious and placed in 'quarantine'. "Name of detection given by Symantec product: suspicious.cloud.7.f" But I was impressed that reporting this to Symantec I got (in 48 hours) this response: "Dispute Submission [2985065] Symantec FP Incident Response falsepositives(a)symantec.com" saying that it was now whitelisted in the daily virus definitions update.

[range] questions about documentation and usage
by Robert Ramey 05 Nov '12

05 Nov '12

I want to use Boost.Range in a bigger way. But I have a few problems with it. I think most of them are just issues of understanding and the writting of the documentation a) I see examples like std::vector<T> v; boost::range::find(v, 0); find(SinglePassRange& rng, Value val); BUT when looking at the documentation at http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_51_0/libs/range/doc/html/range/concepts/sin… I see only two valid expressions boost::begin(a) boost::end(a) where in this case a would be v which is of type std::vector<int>. BUT boost:begin(v) is NOT a valid expression for the above. Spelunking into the range header code reveals the following: template< class T > inline BOOST_DEDUCED_TYPENAME range_iterator<T>::type begin( T& r ) { #if !BOOST_WORKAROUND(__BORLANDC__, BOOST_TESTED_AT(0x564)) && \ !BOOST_WORKAROUND(__GNUC__, < 3) \ /**/ using namespace range_detail; #endif return range_begin( r ); } and template< typename C > inline BOOST_DEDUCED_TYPENAME range_iterator<C>::type range_begin( C& c ) { // // If you get a compile-error here, it is most likely because // you have not implemented range_begin() properly in // the namespace of C // return c.begin(); } This effectively means that the "Valid Expressions" for SinglePassRange part of the documenation should read: a.begin() a.end() Doesn't it. I would be interested to know if I got this wrong. b) I see the template iterator_range<ForwardTraversalIterator> - which seem to be to in an instance of what the ForwardRangeConcept should be. To me, the range documentation is out of whack. I can figure it out - but it's misleading - atleast to me. c) Another really annoying thing is that every thing is directly in the boost namespace. This breaks the convention that library headers are in boost/<library name> and in the namespace boost::<library name>. This creates a lot of opportunity for conflict. Robert Ramey

Debug Assertion with MFC
by Yiğit Çağrı Akkaya 05 Nov '12

05 Nov '12

Hi, I have an MFC application. There are plenty of dll's written by us. In one dll module, we use boost. However, on start up of application, it throws several assertions about loading dll. I know assertions are available only for debug mode, but we want to get rid of every small problem in order to provide a stable release. I made web search and I found this thread: http://lists.boost.org/threads-devel/2009/06/0476.php This belongs to 2009 and Boost 1.39. We use Boost 1.48 and Visual Studio 2008 SP1. Thread says that this happens when MFC application statically linked to boost. Probably, nothing changed up to 1.48 because I found that line and commented it out(extern BOOL (WINAPI * const _pRawDllMain)(HANDLE, DWORD, LPVOID)=&dll_callback;). Is there a macro defined in boost to differentiate static and dynamic builds? If there is a macro, we are planning to wrap macro around that line. Or is there any better solution for this? Thanks in advance...

[Program_options] Positional options are not parsed, "unrecognised option". A bug?
by Dmitry Shintyakov 04 Nov '12

04 Nov '12

Hello, everybody. I am having problems using Boost::Program_options library. I have a program, that have several optional keyword arguments, and 3 positional arguments. Keyword arguments are parsed well, but positional arguments are always causing an exception? saying: "unrecognised option" After spending 2 hours trying to find a problem, I decided to ask for help. I am using Boost 1.50.0-2, GCC 4.7.2 under Arch linux (32 bit). My example is almost exact copy from the tutorial, so I suspect that there is some bug. Example code (with all non-relevant code removed) follows. To test it, run it as following: ./a.out 123 123 test Expected behaviour is to see a line: Arguments: output=output.png width=123 height=123 Instead, I see this: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost::exception_detail::clone_impl<boost::exception_detail:: error_info_injector<boost::program_options::unknown_option> >' what(): unrecognised option '1' ==Test code== #include <iostream> #include <boost/program_options.hpp> using namespace std; int main( int argc, char * argv[] ) { namespace po = boost::program_options; string output_file; po::options_description desc("converter [options] width height source"); desc.add_options() ("help", "Show help message") ("output,o", po::value<string>( &output_file )->default_value("output.png"), "Output file to put converted image data to.

[Date Time] MSVC CRT assertion stops execution in debug mode
by Fumito Hamamura 03 Nov '12

03 Nov '12

Hi, I'm testing the code below using boost 1.50.0 and Visual C++ 2008. What I expected was, the ptime t doesn't throw an exception even though it doesn't get a valid date time string passed by the wstringstream ss. When it is compiled in Release mode, it works as expected, i.e. the program runs without an error, but when compiled in Debug mode, the program stops because debug assertion fails in _chvalidator in isctype.c, which is called by std::isspace. Is there a known workaround for this? Thanks, Fumito ----- #include <iostream> #include <string> #include "boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time.hpp" int wmain(int argc, wchar_t* argv[]) { boost::posix_time::wtime_input_facet* dt_facet(new boost::posix_time::wtime_input_facet(L"%Y/%m/%d %H:%M")); std::wstringstream ss; boost::posix_time::ptime t; ss.imbue(std::locale(ss.getloc(), dt_facet)); ss << L"あいうえお"; ss >> t; return 0; } -----

C++ announcements coming tomorrow
by Beman Dawes 03 Nov '12

03 Nov '12

Herb Sutter, the Convenor of the ISO C++ Standards Committee, will be making some announcements tomorrow likely to be of interest to C++ developers in general and Boosters in particular. The venue is a talk titled "The Future of C++" at the Microsoft Build Conference. While some of Herb's announcements will be specific to Microsoft, the key C++ initiatives involve Boost and the whole C++ community. Some of the ideas evolved from feedback Herb got at C++Now/BoostCon 2012 last May. I'll post a summary of the announcements tomorrow, but you can also watch the live stream at http://channel9.msdn.com at 12:45 PM Pacific time. For other time zones, see http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20121102T1945 --Beman PS: We don't usually post teasers like this on the Boost lists, but Herb asked that a notice be posted, and given the endless work he has put in on this over the summer, I couldn't say no.

[Filesystem] Reverse traversal of boost::filesystem::path::const_iterator?
by Nat Linden 02 Nov '12

02 Nov '12

I've stumbled across some code in our code base that wants to walk up a fixed number of containing parent directories from the starting path. (It's in a Mac application bundle nested within another.) boost::filesystem::path::[const_]iterator is described as bidirectional. But boost::filesystem::path has no rbegin() or rend(). In libs/filesystem/test/path_test.cpp's iterator_tests(), I see, for a path variable named itr_ck, use of boost::prior(itr_ck.end()). That suggests that usage of this form would be legal: path mypath = /* ...something... */; for (path::const_iterator rcomp(mypath.end()), rend(mypath.begin()); rcomp != rend; --rcomp) { // ... use boost::prior(rcomp) ... } Am I correct? Given the way some containers implement end(), I always feel nervous about decrementing end(). I'm happy to see that Boost.Filesystem's own tests guarantee that usage; but is there anything in the documentation that would have assured me of that?

advice with containers and data types
by Georg.Kellerer＠lfu.bayern.de 02 Nov '12

02 Nov '12

Hi all, i am a newbie to boost and hope, somebody here can give me an advice. i want to change the implementation of an existing container class in one of my projects. It is a container which for the moment is based on a very old roguewave version which should be replaced by boost. main features of this container are: - the container is based on a hashmap. - the key datatype can be string or int. - the value data type can be string, int, double, time, date, the container type itself and another container type. I thought about implementing the class based on a map container with boost:any as key and value type. is this possible? Or do you have other and even better recommendations for me? i am a bit confused about the great number of diferent containers and datastructures the boost library offers. Thanks in advance, Georg

Iterator Range, sub range of a desired size
by David Kimmel 02 Nov '12

02 Nov '12

Is there a function in BOOST, given a starting point and a desired size, that returns iterators for a (sub) range? For example, given: a boost::circular_buffer which contains: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 a starting point which is an iterator pointing to 5 and finally a desired size which is an int s = 4 The result of which would be iterators producing: 5 6 7 8 A possible implementation might be this (but I was hoping there was a BOOST version since I can't find an STD algorithm) template <typename Itr> std::pair<Itr, Itr> getWindowDown(Itr begin, Itr end, Itr start, const int windowSize) { // Down first, then up if need be const Itr bottom = (end - start > windowSize) ? (start + windowSize) : (end); const Itr top = (bottom - begin > windowSize) ?

[boost::python] exposing an abstract base class through boost::ptr_vector and the vector indexing suite
by Andy Falanga (afalanga) 01 Nov '12

01 Nov '12

Hi everyone, I have need to expose a couple of different classes which inherit from a single, abstract, C++ class. This abstract class is what I need to expose to python. Using the python wiki, I've figure out the correct way to expose these classes. However, the next dimension to this problem is that my users aren't supposed to be able to instantiate any of the derived classes directly. Instead, they are to use a function which will return a list of these objects. I've been working on the correct implementation for use with boost::ptr_vector. Now, I want to use the vector indexing suite in boost::python to expose these things. I've worked through properly making an assignment overload operator appropriate to this for use with the vector indexing suite. However, I'm stumped at this error: Error 2 error C2440: 'return' : cannot convert from 'Base' to 'Base *' c:\program files\boost\boost_1_47\boost\python\suite\indexing\vector_indexing_suite.hpp 77 Because of this error, I'm wondering if it's not possible, or at least not recommended, to use the vector indexing suite to expose boost::ptr_vectors. Is this true? I'm using Visual Studio 2010 and Boost 1.47. Thanks, Andy

[serialization] support for C++-11 types
by Marco Craveiro 01 Nov '12

01 Nov '12

Hi boost-users, Apologies if this question has been asked before - I'm sure it has, but my googling-fu is not finding decent matches. Anyways, the question is: with C++11 we have a number of new container types such as std::array, std::underdered_map/set, std::forward_list, etc. Are those supported by the latest release of the serialization library? If not, is there a trac ticket for this work? Many thanks for your time, Marco -- So young, and already so unknown -- Pauli blog: http://mcraveiro.blogspot.com

bug of boost algorithm library or boost asio?
by kpzhang 01 Nov '12

01 Nov '12

Hi, Apologize if this is not the right place for this mail. This program (it has been narrowed down from a larger program) always crashes after compiled in vs2008 Release(Win32) mode under windows 7. I am not familiar with assembly code and don't know it's a bug of compiler or boost::ends_with or boost::asio::buffers_iterator. It can be compiled and executed with g++ in Ubuntu without any problem.

__MINGW32_MAJOR_VERSION confusing, and causing problems with boost thread
by Florian Burkart 01 Nov '12

01 Nov '12

Hi, __MINGW32_MAJOR_VERSION is confusing me at the moment. Where is it coming from? What does it stand for? Even though my compiler at the moment informs me of PS C:\Sys\boost\boost_1_50_0> g++ --version g++.exe (GCC) 4.6.3 20111208 (prerelease) is is defined as 3 when boost compiles. __MINGW32_MINOR_VERSION is defined as 11. I had to hard check that, no idea where those numbers are coming from. This leads to this statement from boost_1_50_0\libs\thread\src\win32\tss_pe.cpp #if defined(__MINGW64__) || (__MINGW32_MAJOR_VERSION >3) || \ ((__MINGW32_MAJOR_VERSION==3) && (__MINGW32_MINOR_VERSION>=18)) evaluating to false and this extern "C" const IMAGE_TLS_DIRECTORY32 _tls_used __attribute__ ((section(".rdata$T"))) = to compile in, which in turn produces c:/mingw-4.6.1/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.6.1/../../../libmingw32.a(tlssup.o):tlssup.c:(.tls+0x0): multiple definition of `_tls_used' /Sys/boost/MinGW32/boost_1_50_0/lib/libboost_thread-mgw46-mt-d-1_50.a(tss_pe.o):tss_pe.cpp:(.rdata$T+0x0): first defined here when trying to link to the static library. I fixed that by hacking the 18 in the source down to a 11 and recompiling boost with PS C:\Sys\boost\boost_1_50_0> .\b2.exe --prefix=c:\Sys\boost\MinGW32\boost_1_50_0 toolset=gcc address-model=32 link=static -s BZIP2_SOURCE=C:\Sys\bzip2-1.0.6 -s ZLIB_SOURCE=C:\Sys\zlib-1.2.7 install That seems to have solved my issue for now, but I don't know if my major or minor versions are set incorrectly or whether this might a bug in the code base? Thoughts? Florian

C++ Now 2013 Call for Submissions
by Hartmut Kaiser 31 Oct '12

31 Oct '12

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- C++ NOW CONFERENCE 2013 - Aspen CO, USA, May 13-17, 2013, www.cppnow.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS -------------------- We invite you to submit session proposals to the 2nd annual C++ Now Conference (Aspen CO, USA, May 13-17, 2013). Building upon the resounding success of C++ Now 2012 and five years of BoostCon, C++ Now 2013 will present leading speakers from the whole C++ community. The C++ Now Conference is dedicated to discussion and education about C++, an open and free language and standard. Our Conference will focus on discussion and education about open source software usage and developments in the C++ developer and user community. To reflect the breadth of the C++ and Boost communities, the conference includes sessions aimed at three constituencies: C++ and Boost end-users, hard-core Boost library and tool developers, and researchers pushing the boundaries of computation. The program fosters interaction and engagement within and across those groups, with an emphasis on hands-on, participatory sessions. As a multi-paradigm language, C++ is a melting pot where the most compelling ideas from other programming communities are blended in powerful ways. Historically, some of the most popular sessions at C++ Now have highlighted these concepts, from DSLs to functional programming to transactional memory and more. Bring your C#, Python, Ruby or Haskell influences to bear in an environment that will broaden their exposure. At C++ Now 2013 we would like to focus on parallel and distributed computing with C++. However, by no means this is intended to restrict the topics of proposals we hope to see. Any other topic related to C++ as outlined below is perfectly fine for submission. IMPORTANT DATES --------------- New proposal submissions due: December 15th, 2013. Proposals decisions sent (tentative program available): January 30th, 2013. Fully scheduled program available: February 24th, 2013. BEST PRESENTATION AWARDS ------------------------ We know how much effort it takes to prepare talks for our conference. For this reason we will award the best presentations in the following categories: Best Presentation, Best Short Presentation, Best Tutorial, and Best Workshop. The awards will be given based on the audience's voting. Each award will include the author's name listed on the cover of the C++ Now website for that year and a plaque containing all the C++ Now conference information. SESSION TOPICS -------------- Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to, the following: * Parallelism in the new C++11 standard * Parallel, distributed and GPGPU topics relating to C++ * C++11 and how it changes life for users and library writers * General tutorial sessions on C++11, the C++11 Standards library, and one or more Boost libraries * In-depth sessions on using specific Boost libraries * Case studies on using Boost * Experts panels * Advanced sessions on implementation techniques used within Boost libraries * Development workshops to extend or enhance existing Boost libraries * Workshops on design process * Infrastructure workshops such as Build tools, Website, Testing * Concepts and Generic Programming * Hardware and infrastructure presentations focused on how libraries can make better use of the technology * Software development tools and their application to C++ and or Boost * Other topics likely to be of great interest to C++ users and developers Interactive and collaborative sessions are encouraged, as this is the style of learning and participation that has proven most successful at such events. Sessions can be tutorial based, with an emphasis on interaction and participant involvement, or workshop based, whether hands-on programming or paper-based, discussion-driven collaborative work. SESSION FORMATS --------------- Presentations Presentations focus on a practitioner's ideas and experience with anything relevant to C++11, Boost and users. Panels Panels feature three or four people presenting their ideas and experiences relating to C++11 and Boost's relevant, controversial, emerging, or unresolved issues. Panels may be conducted in several ways, such as comparative, analytic, or historic. Tutorials Tutorials are sessions at which instructors teach conference participants specific skills relevant to C++11 and Boost. Workshops Workshops provide an active arena for advancements in Boost-relevant topics. Workshops provide the opportunity for experienced practitioners to develop new ideas about a topic of common interest and experience. Author's Corner Presentations These were introduced at BoostCon 2008, and were a great success. They are short (30 minute) sessions, focusing on tips on usage and design. In addition, we're looking to uncover the hidden design gems in Boost libraries. Tool Vendors Presentations We actively encourage tool vendors and ISP's to submit proposals for a special Tool Vendors Session Track aimed at products related to Boost and C++ (compilers, libraries, tools, etc.). Other formats may also be of interest. Don't hold back a proposal just because it doesn't fit into a pigeonhole. SUBMITTING A PROPOSAL --------------------- Standard Sessions are 90 minutes. You may submit a proposal for fractions Or multiples of 90-minutes. Fractional proposals will be grouped into 90 Minute sessions covering related topics. Longer sessions, such as tutorials and classes, will be assigned three hour (i.e. half day), or six hour (i.e. full day) time slots. Please include: * The working title. * Type of session: presentation, panel, tutorial, workshop, authors corner, vendor track, other. * A paragraph or two describing the topic covered, suitable for the conference web site. * Proposed length: 10-20 minute short talks, 45 minutes, 90 minutes, half day, full day. * Alternate lengths, if you are willing to make adjustments: 10-20 minute short-talks, 45 minutes, 90 minutes, half-day, full day. * Audience: users, developers, both. * Level: basic, intermediate, advanced. * A biography, suitable for the conference web site. * Your contact information (will not be made public). SUBMISSION DETAILS ------------------ All submissions should be made through the EasyChair conference management system: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cppnow2013. If you have not already registered at EasyChair, you will need to do so in order to submit your proposal. All submissions will go through a peer review process.

lockfree is part of the boost-1.52?
by niXman 31 Oct '12

31 Oct '12

Hi, As I can see, lockfree is in trunk, but in the documentation for boost-1.52 is not said about that. Why? And one more question: How can I determine what lockfree is part of the boost? Is there a macro for this? -- Regards, niXman ___________________________________________________ Dual-target(32 & 64-bit) MinGW compilers for 32 and 64-bit Windows: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwbuilds/

question on multi_index_container
by John M. Dlugosz 31 Oct '12

31 Oct '12

I created a multi_index_container in a way to emulate and enhance a std::set. That is, ordered_unique on some key extraction I specified. Like a std::set, inserting a "duplicate" will not do the assignment at all and the old value remains. However, what I want is for the new item to replace the old with the same key. Is there an easy or straightforward way to configure multi_index_container to do this?

(no subject)
by Yiğit Çağrı Akkaya 31 Oct '12

Hi, I have an MFC application. There are plenty of dll's written by us. In one dll module, we use boost. However, on start up of application, it throws several assertions about loading dll. I know assertions are available only for debug mode, but we want to get rid of every small problem in order to provide a stable release. I made web search and I found this thread: http://lists.boost.org/threads-devel/2009/06/0476.php This belongs to 2009 and Boost 1.39. We use Boost 1.48 and Visual Studio 2008 SP1. Thread says that this happens when MFC application statically linked to boost. Probably, nothing changed up to 1.48 because I found that line and commented it out(extern BOOL (WINAPI * const _pRawDllMain)(HANDLE, DWORD, LPVOID)=&dll_callback;). Is there a macro defined in boost to differentiate static and dynamic builds? If there is a macro, we are planning to wrap macro around that line. Or is there any better solution for this? Thanks in advance...

[phoenix] std::function doesn't work with phoenix ?
by Kamil Zubair 31 Oct '12

31 Oct '12

When I try to do this is VC++ 2010 : #include <functional> #include <boost\bind.hpp> #include <boost\phoenix.hpp> float Func() { return 1.f; } typedef std::function<float()> F; int main() { F f2 = boost::phoenix::bind(&Func); } It failed to compile, but when I change boost::phoenix::bind to boost::bind it compiled just fine. What's going on ? I thought phoenix::bind and boost::bind is interchangeable.

[Boost.Test] What's the best way to make custom assertions?
by legalize+jeeves＠mail.xmission.com 31 Oct '12

31 Oct '12

[Please do not mail me a copy of your followup] I want to make custom assertion methods that report the failure location as the place where the custom assertion is invoked, not the location where the BOOST_REQUIRE_xxx macros are used in the implementation of the custom assertion. In my own code, when I wanted to do report the point of invocation instead of the point of implementation, I implemented my code along the lines of void report(char const* file, int line) { // ... // output a message using line and file // ... } #define REPORT() report(__FILE__, __LINE__) void code() { REPORT(); // report something interesting here } When I look at how the assertion macros are implemented in Boost.Test, it seems that __FILE__ and __LINE__ are substituted down pretty far in the macro invocation chain. This means that if I want to write my own custom assertion that reports messages at the point of invocation and not at the point of implementation, I have to call these very low-level macro facilities and duplicate a bunch of stuff that's in Boost.Test. One thing I don't want to do is make a gigantic multi-line macro for my custom assertion. I really don't like using macros for things that could be done with functions and a custom assertion, IMO, falls into that category. Is there a clean way of implementing a custom assertion in the manner I've described without replicating a bunch of the intermediate layers of Boost.Test's macros? Gennady, if you're reading this and there isn't a clean way of doing what I'd like, are you willing to accept a refactoring changeset that promotes __FILE__ and __LINE__ arguments higher in the macro call chain? -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book <http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline> The Computer Graphics Museum <http://computergraphicsmuseum.org> The Terminals Wiki <http://terminals.classiccmp.org> Legalize Adulthood!

[mpi] many undefined references to serialize<boost::mpi::detail::mpi_datatype_oarchive>
by Brian Budge 30 Oct '12

30 Oct '12

Hi all - I've got a class hierarchy that can already be serialized into text or binary archives. I'm explicitly instantiating the template functions for serialize and/or load/save. I'm trying to add the capability to have boost mpi perform the serialization through send/recv/broadcast. I've added explicit instantiations for the boost::mpi::packed_iarchive and packed_oarchive. My code compiles, but at the end I get a bunch of undefined references for serialize<boost::mpi::detail::mpi_datatype_oarchive>. I can add the explicit instantiations for this oarchive, and this seems to fix my linking issue, but this seems broken, i.e. I should not have to deal with anything in a boost::detail namespace? Is there another suggestion for how to get this to work? Thanks, Brian

[MPI] missing symbols using serialization's static library design
by Barrett, Brian W 30 Oct '12

30 Oct '12

Hello all - On Mac OS X Lion, we're seeing errors when linking our application using Boost.MPI. The application is rather large and uses Boost.Serialization for both checkpoint/restart and MPI communication. The checkpoint/restart bits made serialization a bit of a disaster in terms of compile times (due to headers including basically every other header in the project). To solve that problem, we followed the Boost.Serialization advice on static libraries, and all is good. Except that on Lion (and possibly elsewhere, but definitely on Lion) using the gcc front-end (i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-gcc-4.2 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2336.11.00)), we're seeing link failures due to serialization calls for MPI archivers not being found when compiling with -O2 or higher on Boost 1.50.0 and 1.51.0: CXXLD sst.x Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64: "void SST::Introspector::serialize<boost::mpi::packed_iarchive>(boost::mpi::packe d_iarchive&, unsigned int)", referenced from: boost::archive::detail::iserializer<boost::mpi::packed_iarchive, SST::Introspector>::load_object_data(boost::archive::detail::basic_iarchive &, void*, unsigned int) const in introspectedComponent.o boost::archive::detail::iserializer<boost::mpi::packed_iarchive, SST::Introspector>::load_object_data(boost::archive::detail::basic_iarchive &, void*, unsigned int) consti n simulation.o While I could simply explicitly insatiate the missing archivers, that seems like a bad idea for something in the detail namespace and it appears that the list of archivers I'd need to instantiate has changed over time. Is there a better solution to the problem? There's a test case the exhibits the problem available here on our Google code project bug tracker. It's essentially the Boost.Serialization demo_pimpl example, but using MPI instead of a text archiver. The code is at: http://sst-simulator.googlecode.com/issues/attachment?aid=280000000&name=mp i_serialization_test.tar.gz&token=1MTkBuFrhrfUUAZRZYH3kZrElIg%3A13500682075 60 Thanks, Brian -- Brian W.
