[Graph] Occasional crash when removing a vertex
by Anne van de Graaf 29 Nov '21

29 Nov '21

Hello all, When I remove a vertex from a graph, I occasionally experience a crash (on a system running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.5). I have been able to replicate the behavior with the following test program: #include <boost/graph/adjacency_list.hpp> int main() { using MyGraph = boost::adjacency_list<boost::setS, boost::vecS, boost::undirectedS>; using MyVertexDescriptor = boost::graph_traits<MyGraph>::vertex_descriptor; using MyVertexDescriptorVec = std::vector<MyVertexDescriptor>; MyGraph g; MyVertexDescriptorVec vertices{ boost::add_vertex( g ), boost::add_vertex( g ), boost::add_vertex( g ) }; boost::add_edge( vertices[0], vertices[1], g ); boost::add_edge( vertices[1], vertices[2], g ); boost::clear_vertex( vertices[0], g ); boost::remove_vertex( vertices[0], g ); return 0; } Also on a Windows platform, I observe similar behavior. When I build the above code with Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 (MSVC 14.27.29110) and run it with a debugger, a debug assertion is triggered ("cannot increment value-initialized map/set iterator"). In both cases (on Linux and Windows platforms), the debugger reveals that the problem is at line 2071 of boost/graph/detail/adjacency_list.hpp. For clarity, I have copied the involved template function below: template < class EdgeList, class vertex_descriptor > inline void reindex_edge_list( EdgeList& el, vertex_descriptor u, boost::disallow_parallel_edge_tag) { for (typename EdgeList::iterator ei = el.begin(); ei != el.end(); ++ei) // line 2071: increment operator fails { if (ei->get_target() > u) { typename EdgeList::value_type ce = *ei; el.erase(ce); --ce.get_target(); el.insert(ce); } } } While I was searching for a proper place to post my question, I found the following issue at GitHub (which was opened on July 1 of this year): https://github.com/boostorg/graph/issues/268. This appears to be the exact same issue. So last week, I added a comment saying that I am facing the exact same problem. Unfortunately, so far no one has responded yet. To me, it seems that the problem is well-understood. Also, some have proposed a bug fix to resolve the issue (including a pull request). Nevertheless, no progress has been made over the past months. So I was just wondering what is the best way to proceed if we want to fix the issue in Boost itself? Is there anything that I can do (apart from starting this thread) to help in resolving the issue? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Anne van de Graaf

boost units and single-precision floats
by Carel Combrink 19 Nov '21

19 Nov '21

Hi, I have aliases for radians and degrees that use float as the storage type. When I convert between these two units I see the assembly promote the values to doubles and then back to floats. How can I make sure that all operations and conversions stay in floats? PS: I would not be surprised if I have defined my aliases or/and my conversion functions incorrectly. My Code: === using radians_f = boost::units::quantity<boost::units::si::plane_angle, float>; using degrees_f = boost::units::quantity<boost::units::degree::plane_angle, float>; degrees_f to_degrees(const radians_f& angle) { return static_cast<degrees_f>(angle); } radians_f to_radians(const degrees_f& angle) { return static_cast<radians_f>(angle); } === >From compiler explorer I see the following assembly instructions: https://godbolt.org/z/Gnjr54dn6 cvtss2sd - Converts a single-precision floating-point value in the “convert-from” source operand to a double-precision floating-point value in the destination operand. mulsd - Multiplies the low double-precision floating-point value in the second source operand by the low double-precision floating-point value in the first source operand. cvtsd2ss - Converts a double-precision floating-point value in the “convert-from” source operand to a single-precision floating-point value Any help will be appreciated.

Iterate intrusive list without container?
by John W 24 Oct '21

24 Oct '21

With a traditional "hand-rolled" doubly-linked list, if you have a reference to a Node, you can traverse from that node to the end of the list easily. Just check for "pNext == NULL" to know when you're at the end. You don't need any reference to the owning "list container" object. However, I can't seem to accomplish the same with boost::intrusive::list. Traversal with an intrusive::list's iterator is done STL-style, and for that you need to compare to the container's ".end()" value. I am aware of the "s_iterator_to" function[1], which can statically get an iterator from a node, but there doesn't seem to be any way to statically get a usable ".end()" value to compare to. There is also "container_from_end_iterator"[2], which gives the container if you have "end()" available already — not quite what I want, but I guess shows that end() is intimately tied to the container. I also notice that if I have an iterator to the last element in a list, and I increment it (++iterator), no error is given. But if I try to dereference it, I get garbage data. Peeking into the implementation, from what I can tell, boost::intrusive::list is actually a circular list, with a special "root node" that the container owns, and which represents the "end". So, iterating beyond the end gives you that root node. I guess my questions are: (1) Is my analysis above correct? I feel I might have missed something wading through all the templates, and the docs I've found don't discuss these implementation details. (2) Is there any way to accomplish what I want? That is: iterating from an arbitrary node to the end of the list, *without* a reference to the owning container? (3) [aside] If the answer to the above is "no", does anyone know what the rationale is for this design choice? It seems odd that such a basic feature of a traditional hand-made intrusive list would be dropped if there were no benefit. Thanks -John [1] https://github.com/boostorg/intrusive/blob/f44b0102b4ee9acf7b0304b3f5b27dde… [2] https://github.com/boostorg/intrusive/blob/f44b0102b4ee9acf7b0304b3f5b27dde…

Conversion from exception_ptr to shared_ptr

HI, please help me to solve below issue. Shared pointers are used in my code. class Exception : public virtual std::exception,public virtual boost::exception { --- }; class ExceptionTestException : public Exception { --- }; boost::shared_ptr<Exception> exceptionptr_t; try { Boost_Throw_function(ExceptionTestException("Hiii")); } catch(...) { boost::exception_ptr exceptionptr = boost::current_exception(); try { boost::rethrow(exceptionptr) } catch(boost::exception &e) { //here i need to assign this 'e' to shared pointer but this e is not in heap so then how to assign this e to sharedptr(exceptionptr_t). 1 way is : boost::exception *ep = new ExceptionTestException(e); exceptionptr_t(ep); here we know that exception_ptr is having ExceptionTestException but in some cases, we dont know which type of excepiton we have in exception_ptr in runtime. then how to assign to shared_ptr

Thread crash in destructor
by Alexander Carôt 08 Oct '21

08 Oct '21

Hi all, I had been using an old boost system and boost thread lib for a couple of years without upgrading it since approx. 2014. With this old lib the following (simplified) code works fine on OSX: #include "test.h" test::test() { boost::thread::attributes attrs; /// START TRACEROUTE THREAD #if defined(BOOST_THREAD_PLATFORM_WIN32) res = SetThreadPriority(attrs.native_handle(), THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL); #elif defined(BOOST_THREAD_PLATFORM_PTHREAD) pthread_attr_setschedpolicy(attrs.native_handle(), SCHED_FIFO); #endif tracerouteThread = boost::thread( attrs, boost::bind(&test::performTraceroute, this)); } void test::performTraceroute() { cout << "START TRACEROUTE" << endl; string exec = ""; cout << "DO FURTHER STUFF BUT THIS IS JUST A DEMO ..." << endl; cout << "THREAD OVER" << endl; } Using the current boost 1_77 still does execute the thread but then it crashes within the destructor. Adding tracerouteThread.join() or .detach() after launching the thread does not help either. Can anyone help how to resolve this issue ? Thanks a lot in advance, best Alex -- http://www.carot.de Email : Alexander(a)Carot.de Tel.: +49 (0)177 5719797

Re: [Boost-users] Thread crash in destructor
by Alexander Carôt 08 Oct '21

see below – scanning my own info I realized: >>Thread 4 Crashed: >>0 libboost_thread.dylib 0x000000010e4a4570 tls_destructor + 96 ... that it linked to a dynamic lib which I did not intend to – I am using a static lib and this made me conclude that I had a path issue so it eventually linked to a wrong lib which eventually caused the issue. After fixing my paths the issue is resolved and it works perfectly fine even with the latest 1_77 Sorry for the confusion and thanks for your help ! Now it would be nice to focus on the thread priority which might possibly be wrong as well. Best Alex Hej Juan, thanks for the quick response ! >>Are you sure detach() and join() do not help? Yes, I checked it several times. I put either tracerouteThread.join() or tracerouteThread.dispatch() right after launching it but it resultet in the same effect.

Build issue on OSX boost 1.77 json lib is not build.
by Jiri Hoogland 07 Oct '21

07 Oct '21

Hi, I have a mysterious issue where on OSX I try to build boost 1.77 with among others the json component but it is not built. On linux there is no issue. The same script builds everything fine. Has anybody come across this by any chance ? I could not find anything from a search on the net. Thanks, Jiri Below are more details. Using the commands listed below in the OSX case, the json lib is not built, and on Linux it is. Switching on more verbosity and using the -a -q -d 5 shows that json is in the output, but not clear why it is not built. This also seems to be the case for 1.76, we tried this on multiple machines. export ZLIB_DIR=/tmp/zlib-1.2.11 export BZIP2_DIR=/tmp/bzip2-1.0.6 ./b2 link=static variant=release cxxflags="-fPIC" cflags="-fPIC" --build-type=minimal -j8 --build-dir=/tmp/boost/build stage --stagedir=/tmp/boost/stage -sBZIP2_SOURCE=${BZIP2_DIR} -sZLIB_SOURCE= ${ZLIB_DIR} -sNO_ZSTD=1 --with-filesystem --with-iostreams --with-regex --with-system --with-json ls -l /tmp/boost/stage/lib # osx 10.15.7 clang 12 cmake 3.21.3 $ uname -a Darwin vola-imac-jiri.local 19.6.0 Darwin Kernel Version 19.6.0: Tue Aug 24 20:28:00 PDT 2021; root:xnu-6153.141.40~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64 $ c++ --version Apple clang version 12.0.0 (clang-1200.0.32.29) Target: x86_64-apple-darwin19.6.0 Thread model: posix InstalledDir: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin $ cmake --version cmake version 3.21.3 $ ll /tmp/boost/stage/lib total 2168 drwxr-xr-x 12 jiri wheel 384 Oct 4 09:10 cmake/ -rw-r--r-- 1 jiri wheel 42688 Oct 4 09:10 libboost_atomic.a -rw-r--r-- 1 jiri wheel 85696 Oct 4 09:10 libboost_bzip2.a -rw-r--r-- 1 jiri wheel 207752 Oct 4 09:10 libboost_filesystem.a -rw-r--r-- 1 jiri wheel 156984 Oct 4 09:10 libboost_iostreams.a -rw-r--r-- 1 jiri wheel 486752 Oct 4 09:10 libboost_regex.a -rw-r--r-- 1 jiri wheel 880 Oct 4 09:10 libboost_system.a -rw-r--r-- 1 jiri wheel 116864 Oct 4 09:10 libboost_zlib.a $ ssh docs # lin gcc10 $ uname -a Linux 09964f3495a3 5.10.25-linuxkit #1 SMP Tue Mar 23 09:27:39 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ c++ --version c++ (GCC) 10.3.0 Copyright (C) 2020 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

[Boost.Asio] Segmentation fault when ::getaddrinfo() returns EAI_SYSTEM without system error code set (errno = 0) - is this a bug?
by Nils Frielinghaus 04 Oct '21

04 Oct '21

Hello Boost users, I experienced a segmentation fault inside Boost in the following scenario: o There was an illegal DNS entry o When resolving that illegal DNS entry on a Yocto-based embedded Linux distribution, ::getaddrinfo() returned with the error code EAI_SYSTEM but errno was set to 0 o The function translate_addrinfo_error(int) in boost/asio/detail/impl/socket_ops.ipp translates this into boost::system::error_code(0, boost::asio::error::get_system_category()) o This is then interpreted as a success by the calling function and the other output parameters of ::getaddrinfo() are accessed which resulted in the segmentation fault My question would be whether this should be considered a bug in the Boost ASIO library? One could argue that the system should not return EAI_SYSTEM with errno not being set properly. But one could also argue that returning EAI_SYSTEM indicates that something went wrong and that the output parameters are not to be accessed. Nils ------ Nils Frielinghaus

Problem understanding 'boost::intrusive::list_member_hook<>'
by John Emmas 14 Sep '21

14 Sep '21

I'm in the early stages of trying to understand boost::intrusive::list' so forgive me if I'm just doing something stupid!! Using VS2019 I wrote a small demo app which uses 'boost::intrusive::list_base_hook<>':- #include <boost/intrusive/list.hpp> #include <string> #include <iostream> using namespace std; class animal : public boost::intrusive::list_base_hook<> { public: animal (string n, int l) : name{move(n)}, legs{l} {} string name; int legs; }; using animal_list = boost::intrusive::list<animal>; template<typename T> void print_list (const boost::intrusive::list<T>& elem) { for (const T& a : elem) cout << "A " << a.name << " has " << a.legs << " legs" << '\n'; } int main() { animal a1{"dog", 4}; animal a2{"spider", 6}; animal a3{"budgie", 2}; animal_list animals; animals.push_back(a1); animals.push_back(a2); animals.push_back(a3); print_list (animals); return 0; } Everything runs fine and I see the expected output but I've noticed that some other developers use something called a 'list_member_hook' rather than my 'list_base_hook' - so class animal would look like this:- class animal { public: animal (string n, int l) : name{move(n)}, legs{l} {} string name; int legs; boost::intrusive::list_member_hook<> _animal_hook; }; and then later on in the program there'd be a couple of lines looking something like this:- typedef boost::intrusive::member_hook<animal, boost::intrusive::list_member_hook<>, &animal::_animal_hook> AnimalHookOption; typedef boost::intrusive::list<animal, AnimalHookOption> Animals; But when I try that here, VS2019 throws up this compiler error:- error C2039: 'default_list_hook': is not a member of 'animal' Can anyone explain what I'm doing wrong??

Linking Problem
by Stephen P. Molnar 04 Sep '21

04 Sep '21

I have successful compiled an application on my Debian-10 platform using boost-1-67. It is an essential part of my computations chemistry pipe line. Now Debian 11 has been released. I have installed it in a VM in order to make sure that the app is compilable in Debian 11 with boost-1-74 (the Debian12 version of boost), before upgrading my Linux platform. I installed boost in /user/ilocal. The makefile is: BASE=/usr/local BOOST_VERSION=1_74_0 BOOST_INCLUDE = $(BASE)/include C_PLATFORM= -pthread GPP=g++ C_OPTIONS= -O3 -DNDEBUG BOOST_LIB_VERSION= include ../../makefile_common The test compile went well until the link stage.

Comment on divide_unsigned_helper
by Neill Clift 03 Sep '21

03 Sep '21

Hi, I was trying to understand the algorithm inside the main divide routine. I struggled with this bit of code: if ((prem[r_order] <= py[y_order]) && (r_order > 0)) { double_limb_type a = (static_cast<double_limb_type>(prem[r_order]) << CppInt1::limb_bits) | prem[r_order - 1]; double_limb_type b = py[y_order]; double_limb_type v = a / b; if (v <= CppInt1::max_limb_value) { guess = static_cast<limb_type>(v); --r_order; } } I was trying to understand why we essential set guess to 1 in the case that the division is too big. I finally realized that the only way we can have v > CppInt1::max_limb_value is if we have prem[r_order] == py[y_order]. Some simple inequalities with floor can convince you of this. So in the case of equality we do an expensive divide and test when we could move the test outside like this: limb_type guess = 1; if (r_order == 0) { <-------- do this first to simplify guess = prem[0] / py[y_order]; } else if (prem[r_order] == py[y_order]) { <----------- handle it here to avoid the divide guess = 1; ... This leads to another question. Why is this line: guess = prem[0] / py[y_order]; not this line: guess = prem[0] / py[0]; Logically for division it must be the second line. In fact this loop has the invariant that r_order >= y_order. That makes sense for division. So the divisor must be py[0]. That suggests a divisor with one element and we handle that case via a special divide. So that code is not needed I believe. We end up with this: BOOST_ASSERT(r_order >= y_order && y_order >= 1); if (prem[r_order] == py[y_order]) { guess = 1; } else if (prem[r_order] < py[y_order]) { double_limb_type a = (static_cast<double_limb_type>(prem[r_order]) << CppInt1::limb_bits) | prem[r_order - 1]; double_limb_type b = py[y_order]; double_limb_type v = a / b; BOOST_ASSERT(v <= CppInt1::max_limb_value); guess = static_cast<limb_type>(v); --r_order; } else { double_limb_type a = (static_cast<double_limb_type>(prem[r_order]) << CppInt1::limb_bits) | prem[r_order - 1]; double_limb_type b = (y_order > 0) ? (static_cast<double_limb_type>(py[y_order]) << CppInt1::limb_bits) | py[y_order - 1] : (static_cast<double_limb_type>(py[y_order]) << CppInt1::limb_bits); BOOST_ASSERT(b); double_limb_type v = a / b; guess = static_cast<limb_type>(v); } BOOST_ASSERT(guess); // If the guess ever gets to zero we go on forever.... Some simple random divide tests seem to show a little over 2% improvement from doing this. Of course this could just be code layout changes. Just thinking that the 64 bit values are random would make me think this case is rare but I guess we subtract out multiples of the divisor and cause this to happen more for reasons that are hard to understand (for me anyway). I see the path hit a lot. Neill.

3D Tree Queries

I have a question about 3D RTree spatial queries, like a cube, sphere, or something. Are there any examples of how that can be done? I know how to do it for 2D RTree. Do you recommend the regular RTREE or a is there another one to use, like an rstar, that would be better? Thanks, Rachel

[Compute] automatically determine work group size
by Stephan Menzel 30 Aug '21

30 Aug '21

Hello everyone, I have recently made the switched an existing OpenCL application to boost compute. For reasons mostly. Now the transition went well for the most part but I struggle with one feature that appears to be missing. The determination of the local work group size. Originally the code was using clEnqueueNDRangeKernel() which has an option for the local work group size called local_work_size. When left empty, the system will determine that value itself at a small cost. Boost compute doesn't seem to have that. When I process an image for example: command_queue.enqueue_nd_range_kernel(kernel, bc::extents<2>{ 0, current_line }, bc::extents<2>{ width, height }, bc::extents<2>{ 128, 1 }); The last parameter is very hard for me to understand. I know roughly what it is and I understand it has to be dividable by 64, the total size (width * height) however has to be a multiple of it too, so there's a bunch of rules that apply and I would much rather leave that auto-determined as it was before. Leaving it bc::extents<2>{ 0, 0 } throws an assertion. So, essentially: Is there a way to leave it empty to be auto-defined? Cheers, Stephan
