Error LNK1104 cannot open file 'boost_unit_test_framework-vc143-mt-x64-1_82.lib' cal_data_gain_pwr_test C:\Users\mushtaq.syed\Downloads\uhd-master\host\build\tests\LINK 1

Hi: My project uses the Boost library. I have installed C:\Program Files\Boost\boost_1_82_0. I also built using the bootstrap and .\b2 commands from the command window. This was because all the libboost libraries in C:\Program Files\Boost\boost_1_82_0\stage\lib were missing. Now when I build my code using Visual Studio 2022, I am getting the above error. I searched my Boost root folder and cannot find boost_unit_test_framework-vc143-mt-x64-1_82.lib; however, I do see libboost_unit_test_framework-vc143-mt-x64-1_82.lib and other libboost libraries but not a single boost library. I don’t know why it is looking for boost_unit_test_framework-vc143-mt-x64-1_82.lib and not libboost_unit_test_framework-vc143-mt-x64-1_82.lib. Could you please help resolve this? Thanks a lot!

[Compiler] Boost compatibility in a untested compiler version
by Kankanamge, Gimhani 17 Aug '23

17 Aug '23

Hi team, Based on release notes for boost 1.83.0, there is a list of tested compilers (https://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_83_0.html) But, we are going to use boost 1.83.0 in a different compiler which is not listed here(GCC 8.5.0). In such a case, what is the approach we should use to verify that boost is compatible in our given platform? Thank you.

JSON and no-alloc
by Marc Oscar Singer 14 Aug '23

14 Aug '23

Greetings, I'm targeting the boost JSON library for an embedded target. There appears to be one place where there could be either a beneficial new feature, or the feature exists and I'm not seeing it. The section about Avoiding Dynamic Allocation is close to what we'd like to see, except that we don't want to depend on a stack buffer for value data. All of the text of the JSON message is present in the string view. It would be desirable to reference the values from there. Let me be a little more explicit. We receive a message in JSON format. The whole of this message must be received before we can pass it to the JSON parser. It's /possible/ to let the JSON parser manage the message as it arrives and manage both the parse and storage of the content. Doing so would require shifting some responsibilities within the firmware that are difficult to change. We parse out the fields we care about and then want to hold onto these values for some time without retaining the memory necessary for the parse itself. Since all of the values and keys are present in the original source buffer passed to parse() as a string_view, we could simply save the string_views for the values and discard the JSON parser. Except, this parser copies the value to another buffer s.t. discarding the parser invalidates the value string_views. Alternatively, if the values themselves were returned as string_views into the source buffer, these string_views would (could) survive destruction of the parser. If we are missing the method by which this can be implemented with the current parser, we'd be delighted to hear it. Cheers -- /Marc Oscar Singer/ *Woollysoft* +1.206.328.1718

Full-Text Search is LIVE!
by Vinnie Falco 10 Jul '23

10 Jul '23

Greetings. I am proud to announce that Mohammad’s excellent work on implementing a full-text search which looks into all the Boost libraries and their documentation is now complete, and has been published to the live website. You can access the search by pressing the Search button in the top right of the page: https://boost.org Please note that this is only the first iteration of this search tool and as such it will probably not give the perfect results that everyone expects every time. But now that we have something in place we can feedback, brainstorm on how to make it better, and iterate on it so that it evolves into something that consistently enhances the Boost user experience. To report problems or suggestions related to the search including the user interface, and the indexed contents, please open an issue in the Boost website repository: https://github.com/boostorg/website/issues There is also a “Report Issue” button in the search UI. Thanks!

[Boost.TypeErasure] - Issue compiling under Windows with Embarcadero C++ Builder 11.3
by Andy Bell 07 Jul '23

07 Jul '23

Hi I'm using the type erasure library but have an issue (which I can workaround) when compiling in Windows 10 using Embarcadero C++ Builder 11.3. My problem is that C++ Builder brings in the Windows SDK Windows.h include file in every Windows VCL UI project it creates *before* any of my code has compiled and it's causing conflicts in boost header member11.hpp. This code is enough to cause the error: #include <boost/type_erasure/any.hpp> #include <boost/type_erasure/any_cast.hpp> #include <boost/type_erasure/builtin.hpp> #include <boost/type_erasure/operators.hpp> #include <boost/type_erasure/member.hpp> #include <boost/type_erasure/free.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/vector.hpp> namespace mynamespace { BOOST_TYPE_ERASURE_MEMBER(ReadStatus) } The error is because Windows.h defines 'interface' but this code from member11.hpp also uses 'interface': template<class P, template<class ...> class interface, class Sig, class Concept, class Base, class ID> using choose_member_interface = typename ::boost::mpl::if_c< ::boost::is_reference<P>::value, typename ::boost::mpl::if_c< ::boost::type_erasure::detail::is_non_const_ref<P>::value, interface<Sig, Concept, Base, const ID>, Base >::type, interface<Sig, Concept, Base, ID> >::type; and the compiler complains of conflicts. Embarcadero support have told me that I can't prevent Windows.h being included in my project before my boost-using code is compiled and attempts I've made to circumvent the problem, such as adding these lines to codegear.hpp: #ifdef interface #undef interface #endif don't work because C++ Builder is still including Windows.h before my code is compiled. To get around the problem, I changed member11.hpp in my boost installation to template<class P, template<class ...> class interface_, class Sig, class Concept, class Base, class ID> using choose_member_interface = typename ::boost::mpl::if_c< ::boost::is_reference<P>::value, typename ::boost::mpl::if_c< ::boost::type_erasure::detail::is_non_const_ref<P>::value, interface_<Sig, Concept, Base, const ID>, Base >::type, interface_<Sig, Concept, Base, ID> >::type; which I don't think will have side effects as 'interface/interface_' here is self-contained, but it doesn't feel like a good long term solution. Embarcadero support said: "Boost brings windows.h in because boost pulls it, *IF* the application is compiled for multi-threading then boost needs to access the OS threading functions, this is when you compile *without* the VCL." and I have confirmed this by creating a simple, multi-threaded Windows console application in C++ Builder... My question is: Is there a better way to work around this issue? My tests indicate that the Type Erasure library is working properly with my change, but it feels more like a hack than a fix...

[asio] monitoring io_context load
by Dmitry 07 Jul '23

07 Jul '23

Hello, I would like to have a metric that measures time spent for work (executing completion handlers) vs time spent waiting for work in thread pool executing io_context::run(). It will help to estimate service capacity (i.e. how many more requests per second it can handle). It is similar to the system's CPU usage metric but CPU usage metric does not include waiting for mutex locks or sync io performed from completion handlers. In our performance tests io_context becomes overloaded (the queue grows faster than it's processed) when CPU usage is about 85%. I would like to have a metric that shows 100% in this case. There is BOOST_ASIO_CUSTOM_HANDLER_TRACKING macro that allows to intercept handler invocations and to measure execution time. But in the case of many lightweight handlers measuring time can bring significant overhead. I'm considering adding similar macros before and after waiting for the condition variable and epoll to measure wait time and then calculate execution time. I'm writing to ask if there is a better alternative? If not, would you be interested in a patch that adds "Handler Tracking" macros around wait calls? Thank you, Dmitry
