BOOT_PP_REPEAT simple nesting problem
by Colin Fowler 22 Sep '14

22 Sep '14

Hi all, I'm trying to use BOOST_PP to generate some code. I can generate the sequence int x_0 to int x_4 using the code below. #include <boost/preprocessor/repetition/repeat.hpp> #define DECL1(z, n, text) text ## _ ## n = n; #define decl1(text, count) BOOST_PP_REPEAT(count, DECL1, text) decl1 (int x, 5) What I'd like to do is write a decl2 that can be used something like this: decl2 (int x, 5, 2) to generate int x_0_0 to int x_4_1 I've tried nesting BOOST_PP_REPEAT but so far I've been unable to produce the desired behaviour unless I hardcode one of the iteration counts. I'd like to also eventually write a decl3(int x, 5, 3, 4) when I understand how a decl2 would work. Any help much appreciated! Regards, Colin

[assign][cref_list_of] Creating anonymous list of pairs
by Aaron Levy 22 Sep '14

22 Sep '14

Is there a way to generate a list of value pairs using ref_list_of or cref_list_of. Maybe such a list could be assigned to a map. Something like: ref_list_of<size, std::pair<std::string, std::string>>("foo", "bar")("foo1", "bar1")...; or std::map<string, string> names = ref_list_of<size, std::pair<std::string, std::string>>("foo", "bar")("foo1", "bar1")...; -- Aaron Levy aaron.levy(a)yandex.com

[ptr_container][ptr_map]
by Aaron Levy 22 Sep '14

22 Sep '14

Consider the following code: class Base { public: virtual ~Base() = 0 {}; virtual double get() = 0; }; class D1 : public Base { public: D1(double n) : val_(n) {} double get() const { return val_; } private: double val_; }; class D2 : public Base { D2(double n) : val_(n) {} double get() const { return val_; } private: double val_; }; bool operator < (const Base& left, const Base& right) { return (left.get() < right.get()); } I can create a ptr_set of Base like this: boost::ptr_set<Base> set; But I can't create a ptr_map with Base as key, like this: boost::ptr_map<Base, Base> map; The problem is that Base is abstract and so the key cannot be instantiated by ptr_map. What is the cause for this distinction between ptr_set and ptr_map. -- Aaron Levy aaron.levy(a)yandex.com

Boost.Test multiple linkage question
by Rob Harris 22 Sep '14

22 Sep '14

All, I've been ripping out my hair all day, and I can't seem to determine a straight answer from the Googles. Can I link _multiple_ boost unit test dynamic libraries into a single binary and have all of them detected? For instance... src lib liba foo.cpp liba_unittests.cpp libb bar.cpp libb_unittests.cpp libd baz.cpp libd_unittests.cpp lib liba.so liba_ut.so libb.so libb_ut.so libd.so libd_ut.so bin ut unittest_driver When I build this infrastructure out, everything compiles. I've checked the compilation command and it looks like everything is on the command line, but there's explicit indication that unittest_driver actually read or linked any of the lib*_ut.so files. If I make individual unit test drivers in, say, liba, the driver works fine. If I link everything into a single unittest_driver binary, I keep getting the dreaded empty test tree. I have -DBOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK set in my CXXFLAGS so that shouldn't be the problem. And I only have BOOST_TEST_MAIN set in the driver; still no joy. Any help (or a definitive, "no you idiot, you can't do that!") would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -RMH

[lockfree] stack needs undocumented trivial assignment
by Norbert Wenzel 21 Sep '14

21 Sep '14

I'm trying to replace some computation intensive loops in legacy code with parallel loops and thus tried to store the results in a lockfree stack. I've chosen stack over queue because of the requirements stated in the documentation, where stack only needs a copy ctor and queue additionally needs trivial assignment and trivial dtor. My result struct I want to store in the stack is *not* trivially assignable. When trying to compile the code containing my lockfree::stack the static assertion in line 75 of stack.hpp because it requires trivial assignment and trivial dtor. My question would be if this is simply an error in the documentation ie. if the requirements section should be copied over from lockfree::queue or if these static assertions should only be checked in some special case, eg. where the stack is of fixed size? thanks, Norbert

[context] How to set stack pointer in a platform-independent way?
by TONGARI J 21 Sep '14

21 Sep '14

Hi, The problem had been discussed here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/boost-devel-archive/cl8B1oUPrVM But it's still not clear how to set the stack pointer portably, even after examining the code of Boost.Coroutine. For now, Boost.Context only supports downward stack, and Boost.Coroutine, which happened to be written by the same author, just assumes that the stack always grows downward, which is not really a portable implementation, if future Boost.Context supports upward stack, Boost.Coroutine has to be changed as well. Even than that, what does "beginning of the stack" really means? Suppose we have a stack of size 3, starting at [s]: [s-1][s][s+1][s+2][s+3] Why the beginning of a downward stack is [s+3], not [s+2]? If it's a upward stack, is beginning [s] or [s-1]? Thanks.

[ASIO] [SSL] [SOCKS4] Layers
by Maciej Miszczak 19 Sep '14

19 Sep '14

Hello, I have been successfully using ASIO for a long time, but recently I try to use SSL over SOCKS 4 and I'm struggling with short read while asynchronous SSL handshaking. I have come across this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9943541/boost-asio-how-to-read-write-on-…] but it's only partially helpful. I haven't find any good explanation, what the layers really are (ex. I can't assign next_layer and lowest_layer to any of OSI layers). Could someone explain the meaning of next_layer and lowest_layer and how to use SSL stream with SOCKS 4 proxy. Best regards, Maciej Miszczak

Re: [Boost-users] Boost XML Serialization
by Manasi Deshpande 19 Sep '14

19 Sep '14

Hello All, Currently I am working on DB Driven C++ API, where it also involves XML processing functionalities. That's where I came across Boost Serialization. We have a very peculiar story here, and it goes like this: We have 2 identical APIs. One in C# and another in C++. Both are DB driven similar APIs. There are instances, where any XML data serialized on C++ platform needs to be de serialized on C# and vice versa. In C# life is straight forward; one needs no bothering about serialization and de serialization. I think in boost you can de serialize the XML document only if it is built using Boost Serialization. I think it is the case in C# also. Is there any way out, where Boost Serialization can be customized?
