boost 1.55 asio tcp cpp03 chat_server example memory leaks
by Hung Ruo Han 14 Jan '16

14 Jan '16

Hi all i hope someone could give me a clue where to investigate... i'm running the chat_server example from boost http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/doc/html/boost_asio/example/cpp03/chat… on visual studio 2010, windows 10 and i downloaded boost binaries from : http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost-binaries/1.55.0/boost_1_5… i used a script to simulate 30 tcp clients, each thread behavior basically: 1. connect to tcp server 2. start a loop 3. send a message to tcp server 4. receive a message from tcp server 5. sleep 6. back to step 2 the strange fact is when i use windows task manager to monitor the memory consumption. The numbers from columns *private working set* and *shared working set* remains "stable" for almost 18 minutes and after that the values of *private working set* starts to increase almost 5 MB by minute. So my doubts are: 1. Does anyone ever seen anything similar before? 2. What could cause this?

[phoenix] [clang] error assigning function object
by Nathan Ridge 12 Jan '16

12 Jan '16

Hi there, I'm experiencing a compiler error in code that tries to assign a Boost.Phoenix function object returned by invoking a phoenix::function with a std::string as one of the bound parameters. I've reduced my error to the following minimal code: #include <string> #include <boost/phoenix/core/argument.hpp> #include <boost/phoenix/function.hpp> struct S { void operator()(std::string, int) const; }; boost::phoenix::function<S> lazy; auto func1 = lazy(std::string(), boost::phoenix::placeholders::_1); auto func2 = func1; void foo() { func2 = func1; } My compiler version is clang 3.7; the error does not occur with gcc 5.1. The error also goes away if I change the type of the first argument from std::string to a different type (like int). The compiler error is shown below. Any ideas as to what is going on? Am I doing something wrong, or did I run into a bug in Phoenix? Thanks, Nate In file included from test.cpp:81: In file included from /home/nr/dev/dist/boost/include/boost/phoenix/core/argument.hpp:13: In file included from

[Statechart] Implementing an internal timeout in an asynchronous state machine
by John Buonassisi 07 Jan '16

07 Jan '16

Hi there, I am looking for some advice on the best way to implement an internal timeout in an asynchronous state machine using the Boost Statechart library. My project requires an asynchronous state machine that multiple threads can queue events to. The asynchronous state machine will react to events and execute callback functions that are registered on creation of the state machine. So far, this hasn't been a problem, but I have hit a bit of a roadblock when handling timeouts. I need my asynchronous state machine class to start a timer in a certain reaction method, when this timer expires I need the scheduler to queue a timeout event. Basically, the timer will act as an interrupt, when it expires I need a timeout event to be immediately queued to the state machine event queue. Since asynchronous state machines are created and managed by a scheduler class (in my case boost::statechart::fifo_scheduler<>) how can I get the asynchronous state machine to queue a timeout event? If possible, I would like to encapsulate this timeout functionality, so client code that uses my derived asynchronous state machine does not have to deal with managing timeouts. My first thought is to have the asynchronous state machine class create a thread when the timer is started. The thread will continually check if the timer has expired and if it has, will queue a timeout event. The issue with this approach is that I would need to pass the scheduler and state machine handler to the thread function in order to queue the event. Obviously, the state machine does not have access to these objects and I am unsure if this is a safe approach. Any suggestions or help with this matter would be greatly appreciated! This is my first post to the mailing list so I hope this is the right arena for my question. Thanks, John Buonassisi

Hi all new to the list.

I am using VS2010 Professional Version with SP1. My compiler and boost libraries are both 32 bit. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything but same errors. These are the only errors which prevent my project from successful build. Any ideas as to what could cause this? -Greg

Feedback boost conan binary packages
by Luis 07 Jan '16

07 Jan '16

Dear Boost Users, Disclaimer: I am founder and developer of conan.io C++ package manager. Please note that it is just a FOSS project, MIT license, fully decentralized, and although I'd like to promote the tool and receive feedback about it, there are already channels for that conversation in the github repos. What I'd really like is to get feedback about the Boost packages I am creating and maintaining in conan. I have generated almost 190 different binary packages for Boost versions 1.57-1.60 ( https://www.conan.io/search?q=Boost%20AND%20user:lasote) for Linux, Win, Mac and different flavours of compilers (gcc 4.7-5.3, VS12-14) and settings (Debug, Release). You can read a quick getting started on such Boost packages in: http://docs.conan.io/en/latest/examples/boost.html If someone has been able to try it, I'd like to know several things: - whether it is interesting to have pre-compiled packages or you always prefer to build from source (i.e. always using the --build option in conan). So far there are about 200 downloads of binary packages, but probably many people prefer to build from source. - It has dependencies to already existing zlib and bzip2 conan packages (can be shared or static). Are you fine with these? Any other Boost dependencies missing that you would like to automate? - It is probably the largest package so far, have you experienced slow downloads? You can report issues and feedback in the conan-boost repo: https://github.com/lasote/conan-boost/issues. Thanks very much, Luis

boost variant is not a literal type
by Robert Ramey 07 Jan '16

07 Jan '16

I want to use Boost.Variant constexpr function. In order to do this it has to be a literal type - which apparently it isn't. The rule for being a literal type are summarized here: http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/LiteralType a boost::variant isn't default constructable so it fails to qualify. Has anyone else had this problem before and managed to solve it in a convenient way? Robert Ramey

boost program_options
by avib369 . 06 Jan '16

06 Jan '16

There seems to be change/regression in boost program options. In boost/1.53. I used boost::program_options::variables_map vm; po::store( po::parse_command_line( argc, argv, desc_ , po::command_line_style::unix_style ^ po::command_line_style::allow_short), vm ); po::notify( vm ); This could handle arguments like: ./exe --help all ./exe --help summary However from boost 1.59, this no longer works, instead I have to use: ./exe --help=all ./exe --help=summary Is this a known change ? how do i get back to the old functionality ? Ta, Avi

Boost 1.60.0 breaks Boost.Log formatter on MSVC11

I’ve been happily using Boost.Log (and much of the rest of Boost) for years, but on upgrading to 1.60, I find that I get runtime errors on MSVC 11. I’ve tracked the problem back to a simple representative example (as provided with the Boost.Log library): http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_60_0/libs/log/example/doc/tutorial_fmt_stre… The problematic portion of the example is the usage of character arrays when setting up the formatter, specifically: << ": <" << "> " The code compiles fine but then throws an exception at runtime, seemingly due to uninitialized data. Removing the strings in the formatter configuration makes the error disappear. I would guess that it has something to do with xvalues going into the formatter unintentionally, but this code has functioned fine on prior versions of Boost 1.59-1.54, and I can find nothing in the release notes that points me at where the problem might be. I am compiling with BOOST_SPIRIT_USE_PHOENIX_V3. Before I start doing lots of diffs, has anyone else experienced this problem, and is there any known solution or workaround? Thanks for all of the excellent work and support, Rob

When I tried to convert my project from Boost 1.58.0 to 1.60.0, I got some link errors. This is using Xcode 4.6.3 on Mac OS X 10.7.5. I'm compiling all the sources in libs/regex/src. Help?
