[Interprocess] message queue Cannot Allocate Memory
by cons_Pavignani, Antonio 08 Dec '12

08 Dec '12

Dear all, I use the message queue. I create a queue inside a thread (called Thread A) and I use it in another thread (called Thread B). I get this error: Cannot Allocate memory. This is the code related to the Thread A: message_queue::remove(InterprocessQueueName.c_str()); message_queue mq(open_or_create,InterprocessQueueName.c_str(),MAX_INTERPROCESS_SEND_QUEUE_SIZE,CalculatingSizeStructure::maxSizeHMIExtMessage); for(;;) { try { unsigned int priority; std::size_t recvd_size; mq.receive(msgBuffer, CalculatingSizeStructure::maxSizeHMIExtMessage, recvd_size, priority); ... } catch (interprocess_exception &ex) { ... } } This is the code related to the Thread B: boost::interprocess::message_queue *mq = InterprocessQueueManager::getInstance()->openQueue("Library_Queue"); if((mq->try_send(&msgCmdSendStatusToLibraryInfoR,sizeof(LibraryInfo),0))==false) {... } I've looked for that exception, and it seems to be related to the POSIX queue. I've also tried some solutions without results. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Best Regards Antonio

Manually cleaning up TSS data in boost 1.49
by Andrew Harvey 08 Dec '12

08 Dec '12

Hi, I am using boost::thread for a plug-in that is loaded by a third-party Linux application. I have no control over the host's threading or when it chooses to unload my code. Unfortunately I experience a crash every time the host thread unloads the .so and terminates. I get the following backtrace: (gdb) bt #0 0x00007fffde12c460 in ?? () #1 0x00000032cf607889 in start_thread () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 #2 0x00000032cf2e5ccd in clone () from /lib64/libc.so.6 Not much to go on... I am pretty confident the crash is happening in a pthread key destructor registered by Boost. The only parts of the boost::thread library I am currently using are the synchronization classes: shared_mutex, shared_lock, unique_lock, upgrade_lock, upgrade_to_unique_lock I'm not directly using any thread-specific storage myself. What I would like to do is force boost to call its TSS destructor in my plug-in's destroy_dso() function. Is this at all possible? Many thanks, - Andrew

[boost][mpl] Detect a type sequence type
by Klaim - Joël Lamotte 07 Dec '12

07 Dec '12

Hi, I am writing some functions and classes that accept a sequence of type ( boost::mpl::vector/list currently) as template parameter. I'm looking for a way to enhance type checking by making sure the provided types are... type sequences. I didn't find anything relevant in standard or boost type_trait libraries. So far, I'm guessing there is no way to check that, mainly because such types would be template instances, which make checking this like checking if a type is an instance of a template which is impossible right now (as far as I know anyway). My question is: what are possible ways to enhance type checking on type sequence types? I know some boost developers around here make great efforts to make sure their meta programming libraries make early and good error reporting so maybe they have a solution? PS: I'm using Visual Studio 2012 so I can't use variadic template yet ;___; (can't rely on the CTP) Joel Lamotte

Clients controlling server and other clients
by Gonzalo Garramuno 07 Dec '12

07 Dec '12

I am writing an application in which one of multiple clients need to control the server and the other clients. The example is the timeline of a flipbook player. If one client sets the timeline to 125, both the server and the other clients need to jump to frame 125. If the server's timeline is modified to 200, indeed the timeline needs to be set to the new value in all clients. I am puzzled on how to write this with asio. Any help is appreciated.

text_file_backend with append and rotate
by Victor Yankee 06 Dec '12

06 Dec '12

Hello everyone! How to create a text_file_backend that appends to existing log file and also has rotation. The init function below always creates a new file every time I run my program no matter the rotation settings. I am using svn version 774 (latest as of Dec 5, 2012. I tried many ways but no joy. There is not an example like this, and there does not seem to be a test for appending either, so maybe it is not supported, but that would be bad. So I must be doing something wrong. Here is my function to set up the logger (using my custom severity levels): void init() { typedef boost::log::sinks::synchronous_sink< boost::log::sinks::text_file_backend > FileSink_t; boost::shared_ptr< FileSink_t> mySink( new FileSink_t( boost::log::keywords::file_name = "%Y%m%d_%H%M%S_%5N.log" , boost::log::keywords::rotation_size = 16 * 1024 * 1024 /3 , boost::log::keywords::time_based_rotation = boost::log::sinks::file::rotation_at_time_point(0,0,0) , boost::log::keywords::auto_flush = true , boost::log::keywords::open_mode=(std::ios::out | std::ios::app) // seems to have no effect )); // this method of setting append does not seem to work either, so I must be doing something wrong mySink->locked_backend()->set_open_mode(std::ios::out|std::ios::app); mySink->locked_backend()->set_file_collector(boost::log::sinks::file::make_collector( boost::log::keywords::target = "logs" , boost::log::keywords::max_size = 16 * 1024 * 1024 , boost::log::keywords::min_free_space = 2 * 16 * 1024 * 1024 )); mySink->set_filter(boost::log::filters::attr< LOGGING::LOG_LEVEL >("Severity", std::nothrow) >= LOGGING::warning); mySink->locked_backend()->scan_for_files(); mySink->set_formatter( boost::log::formatters::format("[%1% | %2%] %3%") % boost::log::formatters::date_time< boost::posix_time::ptime >("TimeStamp") % boost::log::formatters::attr< LOGGING::LOG_LEVEL >("Severity", std::nothrow) % boost::log::formatters::message() ); boost::log::core::get()->add_sink(mySink); boost::log::core::get()->add_global_attribute("TimeStamp", boost::log::attributes::local_clock()); }

Why does gcc require explicit template arguments with my boost::bind
by Chris Stankevitz 06 Dec '12

06 Dec '12

Hello, Below I implement a function "Chain" that takes two functions and executes them both. The first approach succeeds: direct function call. The second approach succeeds: call via bind with explicit template arguments The third and fourth approaches fail: call via bind without explicit template arguments (with/without boost::protect) Question: Why do I have to use explicit template arguments when using bind with Chain? Thank you, Chris === #include <boost/bind.hpp> #include <boost/function.hpp> template <typename TAFunc1, typename TAFunc2> void Chain(const TAFunc1& Func1, TAFunc2& Func2) { Func1(); Func2(); } void f() { } void foo() { boost::function<void()> x = boost::bind(f); boost::function<void()> y = boost::bind(f); Chain(x, y); boost::bind(Chain<boost::function<void()>, boost::function<void()> >, x, y)(); boost::bind(Chain, x, y)(); boost::bind(Chain, boost::protect(x), boost::protect(y))(); }

Boost::Asio read_until and streambuf usage
by Gonzalo Garramuno 06 Dec '12

06 Dec '12

I have a server that sends three lines, each of which have to be parsed independently. I am using read_until but have a problem with its usage. When read_until reads once, the streambuf seems to contain the three lines but not in the istream and only when I call read_until several times, I get the lines. I am wondering how can I safely read_until the buffer is empty (the 3 or more lines are read) and then exit the loop. boost::asio::streambuf buf; while( 1 ) { size_t reply_length = boost::asio::read_until( socket_, buf, '\n' ); std::istream is(&buf); std::string reply; std::getline(is, reply); // only 1 line obtained }

Re: [Boost-users] boost msm - differed events
by Kamel Zaarouri, Mr 05 Dec '12

05 Dec '12

Hi guys, I realized that I asked a very unclear question yesterday. I will try to reformulate :) Let's say I have 2 states, an Active state and an Idle state. If I receive some events in Active state I would like to defer them and execute them when I go back to Idle state. But when I go back to Idle State is there a way to chose which previously deferred event to process? or is there a way to prioritize them or even ignore few of them? Thank you!

C++11, boost::filesystem::path, no std::hash specialization
by Benjamin Kircher 05 Dec '12

05 Dec '12

Hi there, I cannot use boost::filesystem::path with an e.g. unordered_set because std::hash seems not to be specialized for this type. Is this intended? Should I file a bug? Or am I completely misguided? I use 1.52 libraries with -DBOOST_FILESYSTEM_NO_DEPRECATED. I searched the bug database but did not find anything relevant (other than this https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/5650 ticket). Thanks in advance, -Benjamin

Boost.Serialization type-dependent serialization
by Roman Suvorov 05 Dec '12

05 Dec '12

Hi! I have a list of objects of the following structure: > class Obj > { > // a number simple fields > int field1() const; > > // ... > > // reference to an object containing large amount of data > const blob_type & mega_blob() const; > }; The list is to be serialized in the following way: 1) simple fields of each object are to be serialized into a single xml file; 2) mega_blobs' are to be serialized into separate binary files. The idea of doing it is to write custom archive that has operator<< specialized for blob_type which does the magic. Following the Boost.Serialization reference (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_52_0/libs/serialization/doc/archive_referen…) I wrote the code in order to proof the concept: http://pastebin.com/ekbXXvxF My test project is built using CMake and G++-4.6.3 (Debian Wheezy) (that seems to be ok - other code that uses Boost.Serialization compiles well): http://pastebin.com/WVRUKLD2 As a result I get the following linker errors: http://pastebin.com/rM05nkqw The questions: 1) am I using xml_oarchive_impl wrong way or that problem is not boost-related? 2) maybe there are more elegant ways of solving my task? Cheers, Suvorov Roman.

This revision includes some new distributions and all the bug fixes and improvements in Boost.Math for 1.52. I have also now aligned the application version numbering with Boost release numbering. For full information and download http://sourceforge.net/projects/distexplorer/ It works on all the 'this-millennium' versions of Windows.

[boost][polygon]Errors with minkowski sum
by renaud lepere 04 Dec '12

04 Dec '12

I need to implement robust minkowski sum operations on polygons. I have seen that this could be implemented easily using boost::polygon, the tutorial is here http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_52_0/libs/polygon/doc/gtl_minkowski_tutoria… The example works fine, however i need more precision than "int" (32 bits on my plateform win32-msvc10-32bits). I tried to replace to replace int -> double typedef boost::polygon::point_data< int > point; with typedef boost::polygon::point_data< double > point; But this leads to strange errors deep into the code (operator< is "bad") if (!_Pred(_Left, _Right)) return (false); else if (_Pred(_Right, _Left)) _DEBUG_ERROR2("invalid operator<", _File, _Line); called after scan_data_.insert(*insert_itr); // line 1197 in scan_arbitrary.hpp What can i do to avoid it, if i use "long long" type it works but it sends a lot of warning at compile time. Any idea of what i should do ? Is "double" type supported ?

Asio and software interrupts
by Joseph Sulewski 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

Hello, I’m use the Boost::Asio libraries to read data from multicast sockets. This is a high rate application that needs to listen to data coming on a large number of multicast addresses (up to 500 different addresses). I would like to funnel all the multicast traffic to a single class where the data can get handled very quickly. I have the code working now using the socket->async_receive_from() method but the system is getting bogged down handling a large number of software interrupts. 51% of the CPU time is spent handling software interrupts. I create each multicast socket (up to 500 of them) like so: socket = new udp::socket(io_service); socket->open(listenEndPoint.protocol()); socket->set_option(boost::asio::ip::udp::socket::resuse_address(true)); socket->bind(listenEndPoint); socket->set_option(boost::asio::ip::multicast::join_group(multicastAddress.to_v4())); Slightly after that I register for data like so: socket->async_receive_from(buffer,senderEndPoint,boost::bind(&EthernetCapture::receiveData,this,boost::asio::placeholders::bytes_transferred)); Is there a more efficient way to receive multicast data without incurring so many software interrupts? By the way this is for an application to run on 32 bit Linux for an embedded application. Thanks

[Who's using boost?] Algocoders : books on c++11, Boost and Beyond
by Algocoders . 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

Algocoders <http://www.algocoders.com> Algocoders has been using boost since last 6+ years with a mission to help people build a better software eco-system by standing on the shoulder of giants. If it wasn't not for boost, then it could have been really difficult for us to build our framework based on sound mathematical foundation of computer science using modern C++. It is the pioneering efforts at boost towards "Using and Extending C++11, Boost and Beyond" which has motivated us to devote ourself in developing bullet-size capsules in the form of tiny booklets with industrial-set framework to lift the thin veil with initial focus on practical usage of C++11 vis-a-vis mathematical foundation behind it. Web Page : http://www.algocoders.com Enthused by boost, we are working tirelessly towards *publishing a series of books(or booklets) which will bridge the gap between esoteric and street-side ones. Initial focus will be on C++11, Boost, Loki, STL, Algorithms, Data Structures, Multi-threading, Design Patterns, gcc, clang, valgrind.* *First book in this series is :*(will be available by end of November 2012) *Foundation of Algorithms in C++11, Volume 1* Using and Extending C++11, Boost and BeyondList of books(in progress): - *C++11 Algorithms : *Using and Extending C++11, Boost and Beyond - *Smart Pointers** : Tips and Techniques in C++ :* Using and Extending C++11, Boost and Beyond - *C++11 FAQs :* Using and Extending C++11, Boost and Beyond - *Concepts & Traits C++ **:* Using and Extending C++11, Boost and Beyond and so on. We use almost all the libraries under boost including trunk and branches, especially Spirit, Phoenix, Proto, MPL, Fusion to mention a few. Thanks, Algocoders www.algocoders.com

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.

strange linkage problem with boost_date_time 1.52 (x86_64-linux-gnu/gcc version 4.7.2)

Hi erveryone, i have a little problem linking against my newly installed: boost_date_time library. I even don't know if this is the right place for this question because everything works fine so far in the past. 1.

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.

Is that > possible? > > - Jeff > Here's my docs on the matter: Given a macro M, at its simplest M can expand to either [=] or ^ depending on the platform, and then be followed by the optional lambda-declarator and compound-statement. 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

[Intrusive] unordered_set and thread safety

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?

[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).

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

Trying to build a release version from source code put into Clearcase source control. Boost is installed on my computer hard disk. what libraries should I copy to the repository? I tried copying libboost_regex-vc90-mt-gd-1_51.lib but it still gave an error. 1>------ Build started: Project: MyApplication, Configuration: Release Win32 ------ 1>Compiling... 1>MyApplication.cpp 1>.\MyApplication.cpp(40) : warning C4627: '#include <boost/property_tree/ptree.hpp>': skipped when looking for precompiled header use 1> Add directive to 'stdafx.h' or rebuild precompiled header 1>.\MyApplication.cpp(41) : warning C4627: '#include <boost/property_tree/xml_parser.hpp>': skipped when looking for precompiled header use 1> Add directive to 'stdafx.h' or rebuild precompiled header 1>.\MyApplication.cpp(42) : warning C4627: '#include <boost/foreach.hpp>': skipped when looking for precompiled header use 1> Add directive to 'stdafx.h' or rebuild precompiled header 1>.\MyApplication.cpp(43) : warning C4627: '#include <boost/lexical_cast.hpp>': skipped when looking for precompiled header use 1> Add directive to 'stdafx.h' or rebuild precompiled header 1>.\MyApplication.cpp(44) : warning C4627: '#include <string>': skipped when looking for precompiled header use 1> Add directive to 'stdafx.h' or rebuild precompiled header 1>.\MyApplication.cpp(45) : warning C4627: '#include <set>': skipped when looking for precompiled header use 1> Add directive to 'stdafx.h' or rebuild precompiled header 1>.\MyApplication.cpp(46) : warning C4627: '#include <exception>': skipped when looking for precompiled header use 1> Add directive to 'stdafx.h' or rebuild precompiled header 1>.\MyApplication.cpp(47) : warning C4627: '#include <iostream>': skipped when looking for precompiled header use 1> Add directive to 'stdafx.h' or rebuild precompiled header 1>.\MyApplication.cpp(48) : warning C4627: '#include <fstream>': skipped when looking for precompiled header use 1> Add directive to 'stdafx.h' or rebuild precompiled header 1>.\MyApplication.cpp(49) : warning C4627: '#include "MyApplication.h"': skipped when looking for precompiled header use 1> Add directive to 'stdafx.h' or rebuild precompiled header 1>.\MyApplication.cpp(50) : warning C4627: '#include <boost/filesystem.hpp>': skipped when looking for precompiled header use 1> Add directive to 'stdafx.h' or rebuild precompiled header 1>.\MyApplication.cpp(51) : warning C4627: '#include <boost/regex.hpp>': skipped when looking for precompiled header use 1> Add directive to 'stdafx.h' or rebuild precompiled header 1>.\MyApplication.cpp(875) : fatal error C1010: unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header.

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

Build boost 1.52 on Mac OS X 10.8.2 with Clang c++11

Hello, I cannot compile boost with clang 3.1 on Mac os x 10.8.2.

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

[fusion] remove_if and as_vector with Placeholder Expression as predicate
by Felipe Magno de Almeida 15 Nov '12

15 Nov '12

Hello, I'm trying to remove_if a few elements from a fusion sequence. But it is instantiating my predicate with the placeholder from MPL later on. Including with as_vector. The following code generates the error code I'm pasting by the end of the message. I'm using GCC 4.7.2 and Linux x86_64. If I wrap meta_func<mpl::_1> in a mpl::lambda<>::type then the errors following the first error messages is what I get. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong here.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

[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. Default is output.png") ; po::positional_options_description pos_desc; pos_desc.add("width",1).add("height",1).add("input-file",1); po::variables_map vm; po::store( po::command_line_parser(argc, argv) .options(desc) .positional(pos_desc) .run() , vm ); po::notify( vm ); if( vm.count("help") ){ cout << desc <<endl; return 0; } if (!vm.count("width") || !vm.count("height") || !vm.count("input-file") ){ cerr<<"Error: width, weight and input file must be specified"<<endl; return 1; } cout << "Arguments: output="<<output_file << " width="<<vm["width"].as<string>() << " height="<<vm["height"].as<string>()<<endl; return 0; }

[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; } -----
