boost::thread_group design flaw
by Pete 17 Mar '04

17 Mar '04

I'm pretty convinced that there is a serious design flaw in boost::thread_group or at the very minimum, the documentation should better address the issue. Let's take a look at the thread_group.cpp example provided with boost::thread: #include <boost/thread/thread.hpp> #include <iostream> int count = 0; boost::mutex mutex; void increment_count() { boost::mutex::scoped_lock lock(mutex); std::cout << "count = " << ++count << std::endl; } int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { boost::thread_group threads; for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) threads.create_thread(&increment_count); threads.join_all(); } This example works fine until I make the following small change to main() which breaks it: int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { boost::thread_group threads; for (int j = 0; j < 2; ++i) { for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) threads.create_thread(&increment_count); threads.join_all(); } } The above code will break the second time threads.join_all() is called. The problem is that all boost::thread objects created in the first iteration survive the join_all() call. Worse still, the 2nd join_all() call sends another join() message to each thread it created but boost::thread::join() does not check the m_joinable flag and simply tries to free the system resources it previously freed again causing a system fault. To correct the problem above, I can change the code as follows: int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { boost::thread* pt[10]; boost::thread_group threads; for (int j = 0; j < 2; ++i) { for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) pt[i] = threads.create_thread(&increment_count); threads.join_all(); for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) threads.remove_thread(pt[i]); } } While this code no longer causes a GPF, I do not believe that the boost::thread objects created by boost::thread_group::create_thread() actually ever get destroyed. I have set a break point in boost::thread::~thread() but this breakpoint is never reached. If I physically delete each pt[i] after removing it from the thread_group I'm getting an assertion error telling me that the pointer I'm trying to delete is not a valid debug-heap pointer, but this error will most likely disappear if I stop using the debug heap (I haven't tried yet). As a boost::thread_group user, I made the following assumptions: - a boost::thread created through boost::thread_group::create_thread will be removed and cleaned up properly when a) the thread terminates or b) the thread_group is deleted - after returning from a call to join_all() the boost::thread_group has no boost::thread object members - I need not specifically keep track of boost::thread objects created by boost::thread_group and destruction of these objects is encapsulated within boost::thread_group I now find that none of these assumptions is quite correct. Perhaps I good immediate remedy would be to implement a boost::thread_group::clear() method which would throw an error if any of the threads where still in a running state and else would clear its threads collection and destroy the objects? How about thread objects "remembering" their membership in a thread_group so that the thread group can be informed when a thread terminates?

boost::thread problem
by Pete 17 Mar '04

17 Mar '04

I'm having a problem with my boost multithreaded application. My app runs fine as a Windows Service, but as a Unix daemon it stops responding after some time. I noticed that the fewer threads I have available, the quicker the application stops responding: HP-UX(64) after 20mins, RH8(256) after >1hr, Linux RH9(1024) >5hrs. This led me to assume that perhaps the threads are not cleaned up properly. Therefore, I wrote a little test app which ought to demonstrate the problem. To my surprise, the test application showed an entirely different problem, but again, only under Unix (it works as expected under Windows). I'm totally lost what the reason is and appreciate any help. Expected: Actual: --------------- --------------- Start running Start running Start swimming Finish running Start cycling Start swimming Finish swimming Finish swimming Finish cycling Start cycling Finish running Finish cycling In windows I get the actual output but under Linux RH9, I get the Actual output. Under RH9, the first five lines of the actual output appear immediately, but the last one takes approx. 4secs. In other words, only the last threads don't sleep the number of secs specified. #include <string> #include <list> #include <iostream> #include <unistd.h> #include <boost/thread/thread.hpp> class MyThread { protected: std::string m_strName; int m_iDuration; public: MyThread(const std::string & s, int i) : m_strName(s), m_iDuration(i) {} void operator()() { std::cout << "Start " << m_strName << std::endl; sleep(m_iDuration); std::cout << "Finish " << m_strName << std::endl; } }; int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { std::list<MyThread*> lst; std::list<MyThread*>::iterator itr; MyThread* pT; boost::thread_group tg; lst.push_back(new MyThread("running", 6)); lst.push_back(new MyThread("swimming", 2)); lst.push_back(new MyThread("cycling", 4)); for (itr = lst.begin(); itr != lst.end(); itr++) { pT = *itr; tg.create_thread(boost::ref(*pT)); } tg.join_all(); while (!lst.empty()) { delete lst.front(); lst.pop_front(); } return 1; }

General problem on compiling a boost regex code...

Hello, I'm using the boost library for the first time, and I get a compiler error. :-( I don't know why, because I think the boost library is installed successful (I have tested the SuSE rpm file and the download version from boost.org) I'm using gcc 3.x and boost 1.30 on SuSE Linux 9.0...

random library fibonacci bug
by Martin Wartens 16 Mar '04

16 Mar '04

There seems to be a bug in the fibonacci random generators. Only the smaller lagged_fibonacci generators work. Code Sample (tested with VC7.1) follows. The debugger says: Run-Time Check Failure #0 - The value of ESP was not properly saved across a function call. This is usually a result of calling a function declared with one calling convention with a function pointer declared with a different calling convention. //lagged_fibonacci4423 and smaller works, //>=9689 fails typedef boost::lagged_fibonacci9689 rng_type; rng_type rng; rng.seed((unsigned)time( NULL )); boost::uniform_int<size_t> uni(0,len-1); //crashes on this line. boost::variate_generator<rng_type, boost::uniform_int<size_t> > die(rng, uni);

You need to have the calling thread create a synchronised flag (bool with condition, protected by mutex) and a child thread that calls system() and then sets the flag when that returns. The original thread then performs a timed wait for the flag to be set. Here's my solution. The synchronised flag can be encapsulated as an "event" like this: struct one_time_event { public: one_time_event() : flag(false) { } void trigger() { boost::mutex::scoped_lock lock(mutex); flag = true; cond.notify_all(); } void wait() { boost::mutex::scoped_lock lock(mutex); while (!flag) cond.wait(lock); } bool timed_wait(boost::xtime & time) { boost::mutex::scoped_lock lock(mutex); while (!flag) if (!cond.timed_wait(lock, time)) return false; return true; } private: boost::mutex mutex; boost::condition cond; bool flag; }; (This is a basic event that you use once and then throw away. More complex event classes are possible but harder to use correctly.) Using this class it's really very easy: void call_system(const char * command, one_time_event & event) { std::system(command); event.trigger(); } bool system_with_time_limit(const char * command, boost::xtime & time) { one_time_event event; boost::thread thread( boost::bind(call_system, command, boost::ref(event))); return event.timed_wait(time); } Ben.

Actually, I came into the same problem as Jim - I had to ensure the same version of the msvcrt and moreover its debug/release versions to get the code working well. All classes in checked_delete.hpp, smart_count.hpp and shared_ptr.hpp are either templates or completely in headers. The operations with new/delete and allocators are translated/inlined by the compiler into every unit, IMHO. I could not find the trick in the implementation, how to force the deletion of the pointer by the same runtime, if new() was performed in one DLL and delete() in another one. Could you, please, point me to the right direction to the explatation? Thanks, Ferda

Newbie Q: Boost Graph stuff
by Ori 16 Mar '04

16 Mar '04

Hi everyone, I have a question concerning the Boost Graph library, specifically with strongly connected components. My problem is this: I have a graph that I need to collapse into strongly connected components, then topologically sort the resulting DAG of components. Then I want to traverse the sorted DAG (in order), and for each component (now just a vertex I guess), look up into the original graph to find all the vertices that belong to this component. The application here is a rigid body simulator, and I'm constructing a graph of contact points between bodies. The idea is to find an ordering to apply collision impulses, which logically means from the ground up. Vertices are thus bodies, and edges denote a contact (collision) case. I've constructed the original graph, and using the example online, performed the strong_components algorithm on it. However, I'm unsure of how to correctly create a graph of the components. I presume using the root_map is somehow involved, but I'm kind of at a loss. Here's what I got: // typedefs, most stolen from graph introduction at boost.org typedef std::pair<int, int> Edge; struct pen_index_t { typedef edge_property_tag kind; }; typedef property<pen_index_t, int> PenProperty; typedef adjacency_list<vecS, vecS, directedS, no_property, PenProperty> Graph; typedef adjacency_list<setS, vecS, directedS, no_property, PenProperty> ComponentGraph; typedef graph_traits<Graph>::vertex_descriptor Vertex; ... // actual code Graph contactGraph(NUM_BODIES); ... various junk to fill up the graph ... // now, collapse strongly connected components vector<int> component(num_vertices(contactGraph)); vector<Vertex> root(num_vertices(contactGraph)); bgl_named_params< Vertex*, vertex_root_t, no_property> rootMap = root_map(&root[0]); int num = strong_components(contactGraph, &component[0], rootMap); // create a new graph with each component as a vertex... // ...how? I tried variations on get(...) on the rootMap and such, but was met with the usual nightmarish stl/boost compiler errors when you mess up something involving templates : ) Any help someone out there can give is really appreciated. Thanks! ~ Ori

BUG: boost::lexical_cast ignores virtual functions.
by John F Meinel Jr 16 Mar '04

16 Mar '04

I found that when I call boost::lexical_cast<std::string>() with an object that has virtual functions, it fails to dereference the virtual functions. It also cannot use an Abstract base type. Attached is example code. I think the problem is simply that the file boost/lexical_cast.hpp, on line 185 has: Target lexical_cast(Source arg) This should be Target lexical_cast(Source& arg) At least, this fixes all of my problems. John =:-> #include <iostream> #include <string> #include <boost/lexical_cast.hpp> struct A { virtual int f() const = 0; }; struct B : A { virtual int f() const { return 1; } }; struct C : B { virtual int f() const { return 2; } }; std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& os, const A& a) { return os << a.f(); } int main() { C c; std::string s; std::cout << c << std::endl; //This should print 2 s = boost::lexical_cast<std::string>(c); std::cout << s << std::endl; //This should print 2 s = boost::lexical_cast<std::string, B>(c); std::cout << s << std::endl; //This returns 1, not 2 //This fails because it tries to instantiate an object of type A. Why??? s = boost::lexical_cast<std::string, A>(c); std::cout << s << std::endl; }

Problems building Boost
by Ulf Johansson 15 Mar '04

15 Mar '04

I've downloaded Boost 1.31.0 and tried to build it using the standard bjam procedure from the getting started document. I have WinXP/Home and the standard edition of VC7.1 (.NET 2003). I've tried both the vc7.1 and the vc7.1-stlport toolsets. In both cases the following libraries are generated: boost_date_time boost_filesystem boost_signals boost_thread libbost_date_time libbost_prg_exec_monitor libbost_regex libbost_signals libbost_test_exec_monitor libbost_unit_test_framework During the build process I get compiler warnings because the standard version of VC won't do advanced optimizations, but otherwise there seems to be no problem. Bjam stops after having generated the above libraries. Shouldn't there be more? What's the difference between those starting with boost and those starting with libboost? Do I have to somehow generate the remaining libraries separately? Thanks!

Cavalry have enough on their plates already (among other things, a new version of the library is upcoming, with plenty of new exciting and useful stuff like associative sequences), so progress on these two is totally in your hands. -- Aleksey Gurtovoy MetaCommunications Engineering

date_time formatting compilation error
by Keith MacDonald 14 Mar '04

14 Mar '04

I'm trying to convert a gregorian::date to a string, as shown in the following code: // Build: cl /EHsc /I \CVS\boost dt.cpp #include <iostream> #include <boost/date_time/gregorian/gregorian.hpp> int main() { boost::gregorian::date today(2004, boost::gregorian::Mar, 14); std::cout << today << std::endl; return 0; } When I compile it with Visual C++ 7.1, using Boost from CVS head, I get the following error: \CVS\boost\boost\lexical_cast.hpp(150) : error C2679: binary '>>' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'boost::date_time::date_formatter <date_type,format_type,charT>::string_type' (or there is no acceptable conversion) with [ date_type=boost::gregorian::date, format_type=boost::date_time::simple_format, charT=wchar_t ] The same thing happens when using to_simple_string and to_simple_string_type<char>, rather than operator<<. I actually want the result as a basic_string<wchar_t>, but all variations produce this same error. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Keith MacDonald

mpl rational_c and fixed_c
by Matt Calabrese 14 Mar '04

14 Mar '04

A couple of days ago I started work on a library where I need a way to represent rational numbers and fixed point precision numbers at compile time, so I started creating a compile-time rational number type following the style of integral_c in boost::mpl. After completing most operations, I notices that in the mpl/math directory there were already the beginnings of rational_c and fixed_c types, however, they are far from complete (in rational_c there are just two static constants for numerator and denominator and a self typedef, with no specialized operations). Are these types still in development or are they abandoned? I'd like to continue my project using mpl::rational_c and mpl::fixed_c as I need to make them work with the mpl integral constants anyways. So is development on these templates halted, meaning I should just go ahead and finish my types, or are the types coming soon enough so I just should just hold off and wait for the cavalry to arrive?

Could your guys see what is wrong with my following c++ extension code?
by Shunming Fang 12 Mar '04

12 Mar '04

Heollo, guys, I try to wrap a c++ extension class requiring qt lib through boost.python, I failed always because of the following error: c:\Python23\include\object.h(343): error C2059: syntax error : ';' My code will link to qt-2.30nc lib (window version). I don't know why. Can someone give ahint how to fix it? Thank you very much.

RE: [Boost-users] regex with msvc-stlport
by Jia Pu 12 Mar '04

I have seen the similar problem, when I built it using intel-win32. I would suggest you to check regex\user.hpp. There are a couple of macros need to be set for win32 dll. I am not sure what is the proper setting. Just play with it. // define this if the runtime library is a dll, and you // want BOOST_REGEX_DYN_LINK to set up dll exports/imports // with __declspec(dllexport)/__declspec(dllimport.) #define BOOST_REGEX_HAS_DLL_RUNTIME // define this if you want to dynamically link to regex, // if the runtime library is also a dll (Probably Win32 specific, // and has no effect unless BOOST_REGEX_HAS_DLL_RUNTIME is set): #define BOOST_REGEX_DYN_LINK // define this if you don't want the lib to automatically // select its link libraries: #define BOOST_REGEX_NO_LIB Hope this will help. -----Original Message----- From: boost-users-bounces(a)lists.boost.org [mailto:boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org] On Behalf Of Juan Casanueva Sent: Friday, March 12, 2004 7:13 AM To: boost-users(a)lists.boost.org Subject: [Boost-users] regex with msvc-stlport Hi, I am trying to build de regex boost library with msvc and stlport4.6.1, with no success!!! help!!!!

What I wrote holds true for raw pointers. I had assumed it also held true for the Boost smart pointers, but as you pointed out in the other email - and I verified with a quick test - the smart pointers get around this problem.

Huh - whaddya know; I just tried it with this program: int main() { boost::shared_ptr< T > t = CreateT(); t.reset(); T * tptr = CreateRawT(); delete tptr; } where CreateT and CreateRawT are exported from a DLL (and do the obvious thing). 't.reset()' works OK, but 'delete tptr' asserts on an invalid heap pointer. I'll have to study the shared_ptr implementation to see how it avoids this problem. -- Jim Hyslop Senior Software Designer Leitch Technology International Inc.
