[QUESTION] what's meaning of boost::asio::require()?
by ZheNing Hu 06 Jun '21

06 Jun '21

Hi, I ran into difficulties when I was reading boost::asio http server example[1], I see: work_.push_back( boost::asio::require(io_context->get_executor(), boost::asio::execution::outstanding_work.tracked)); I don't know what is the meaning of this code? Or what is boost::asio::require()? I did not find useful information to introduce it. [1] https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_76_0/doc/html/boost_asio/example/cpp03/htt… -- ZheNing Hu

OpenSSL 3.0 support in boost.asio
by Gehrs, Volker 31 May '21

31 May '21

Hi all, Will boost.asio add support for OpenSSL 3.0 as soon as it is officially available? Do you have already some very rough date in mind when this can be the case. I know OpenSSL 3.0 has not been released, yet. Maybe it can be expressed as X Month after OpenSSL 3.0 release... My understanding is that OpenSSL 3.0 is a big architectural change. Can I expect that this change will have big impact on the usage of boost.asio as well? Thanks and best regards! Volker

Build issue utilizing Boost::regex
by Brad Smith 29 May '21

29 May '21

Hi, I am trying to upgrade from Boost 1.73 to Boost 1.76 and down to only one consumer left that will not build. This appears to be an issue with Boost::regex. I noticed this in the Boost 1.76 release notes.. "Regex is now header only except in C++03 mode." Clang defaults to C++14, but I noticed BOOST_REGEX_CXX03 is defined. The project does not specify a particular C++ version so it should be using C++14. The functions below exist in the Boost 1.73 Boost::regex library but not in the 1.76 library. The project in question uses the function regex_match(). Any hints as to how to resolve this? ld: error: undefined symbol: boost::scoped_static_mutex_lock::scoped_static_mutex_lock(boost::static_mutex&, bool) >>> referenced by Config.cpp >>> � Config.o:(boost::object_cache<boost::re_detail_500::cpp_regex_traits_base<char>, boost::re_detail_500::cpp_regex_traits_implementation<char> >::get(boost::re_detail_500::cpp_regex_traits_base<char> const&, unsigned long)) >>> referenced by Config.cpp >>> � Config.o:(boost::cpp_regex_traits<char>::get_catalog_name()) >>> referenced by Config.cpp >>> � Config.o:(boost::re_detail_500::save_state_init::~save_state_init()) >>> referenced 2 more times ld: error: undefined symbol: boost::scoped_static_mutex_lock::~scoped_static_mutex_lock() >>> referenced by Config.cpp >>> � Config.o:(boost::object_cache<boost::re_detail_500::cpp_regex_traits_base<char>, boost::re_detail_500::cpp_regex_traits_implementation<char> >::get(boost::re_detail_500::cpp_regex_traits_base<char> const&, unsigned long)) >>> referenced by Config.cpp >>> � Config.o:(boost::object_cache<boost::re_detail_500::cpp_regex_traits_base<char>, boost::re_detail_500::cpp_regex_traits_implementation<char> >::get(boost::re_detail_500::cpp_regex_traits_base<char> const&, unsigned long)) >>> referenced by Config.cpp >>> � Config.o:(boost::cpp_regex_traits<char>::get_catalog_name()) >>> referenced 5 more times c++: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

[locale] Boost.Locale cannot be used with std::regex
by Josue Andrade Gomes 24 May '21

24 May '21

It seems that Boost.Locale cannot be used with std::regex. See the code below: #include <regex> #include <boost/locale.hpp> int main() { try { boost::locale::generator gen; std::locale de_DE(gen("de_DE.UTF-8")); std::wstring in(L"Grün GRÜN grün"); std::wregex rx; rx.imbue(de_DE); rx.assign(L"grün", std::regex::icase); std::wcout << std::regex_replace(in, rx, L"green") << L"\n"; } catch (std::exception &e) { std::cout << "Exception: " << e.what() << "\n"; } } Outputs: green GRÜN green However this: #include <regex> #include <locale> int main() { try { std::locale de_DE("de_DE.UTF-8"); std::wstring in(L"Grün GRÜN grün"); std::wregex rx; rx.imbue(de_DE); rx.assign(L"grün", std::regex::icase); std::wcout << std::regex_replace(in, rx, L"green") << L"\n"; } catch (std::exception &e) { std::cout << "Exception: " << e.what() << "\n"; } } Correctly outputs: green green green Tested on Ubuntu 20.04.2. g++ 10.2, Boost.Locale built with ICU support using vcpkg (thus static link).

Spirit X3 comment parser
by Olaf Peter 17 May '21

17 May '21

Hallo Users, this time a question about retaining the comments in the recursive AST. I've never seen those question before. I have a grammar that can have a comment at any point while maintaining that same grammar. I am interested in the comments to be able to parse the possibly contained pragma etc. statement later (so parsed as raw). ... auto const comment_def = x3::lit("//") >> raw[*(char_ - x3::eol) >> x3::eol]; ... The AST is ready, an AST node for the comment is also there. How do I change the rule now? auto const start_def = x3::skip(x3::space)[ comment | toplevel_rule ]; with the actual parse function: ... x3::parse(iter, end, toplevel_parser >> x3::eoi, toplevel); .... originally the latter looked like this: .... x3::phrase_parse(iter, end, toplevel_parser >> x3::eoi, parser::skipper, toplevel); ... The above start_def unfortunately also changes the attribute for it, ast::toplevel_node now becomes a variant<ast::comment_node,ast::toplevel_node>. I'm also not sure how this rule affects the dependent rules, i.e. recursive and low level in terms of correctness and performance. For the AST visitor this just means another overload. Another point is the test suite. Currently I test the low level sub rules with a separate instance, where the test input can also contain comments for test case documentation purpose. With x3::phrase_parse() this was not a problem. With the new approach, for each rule to be tested, I also have to use a variant <comment,attribute> for the attribute, which is very inconvenient.... So the question, is this really the right way? Are there alternatives? Thanks in advance

compiler error using boost::posix_time::time_facet
by Dan Bloomquist 08 May '21

Hi, I'm getting a strange error in that I've done this before without problems. But I've started a new MFC project and I'm getting this error. The same exact header in other projects compiles fine. I'm using all the same settings. with: auto* facet= new boost::posix_time::time_facet( "%d-%b-%Y %H:%M:%S" ); and if I comment that line the same error comes in further down where I: os << "[" << boost::posix_time::second_clock::local_time() << "] "; I just can not figure out what is different in this project that is causing this. using the latest MS compiler with c++17 Thanks, Dan.

[beast] help with http::dynamic_body and http::buffer_body
by Klebsch, Mario 26 Apr '21

26 Apr '21

Hello, After using boost::asio for several years I thought, I might give beast a try. I need to write a http server processing a POST request with an upload of a big file. So I thought, I could start with libs/beast/example/http/server/async. I soon found the function handle_request() and that I have to add something like if (req.method() == http::verb::post && req.target()=="/xxx" ) to catch the http POST transaction. But since I have to process the upload of a large file, I thought that using a http::string_body might not be the best choice. I found several other body types in the documentation. I thought buffer_body ought to be fine, since the documentation says: ‘This allows for serialization of body data coming from external sources, and incremental parsing of message body content using a fixed size buffer.’. incremental processing of the input stream is what I need. But now, I have no clue, how to change the example to use a buffer_body. I changed http::request<http::string_body> req_ to http::request<http::buffer_body> req_. But now I must process the request message in chunks. How do I get my callback invoked for each chunk? Without additional changes, I get a read error: need buffer. But the documentation on buffer_body does not help me. Buffer_body does not seem to have any methods, that I can call. It does have a member type reader, that is documented as implementation-defined. So there is nothing I can do with this reader. ☹ There is a member type value_type, that does have data, size and more mebers, but I have no idea, how I could et hold of a variable of this type containing a part of my message body. The error message might indicate, that I need to provide a fixed size buffer to the buffer_body, but I have no idea, how to do this. I tried to add the following code to do_read(): req_.body().data = my_buffer; req_.body().size = sizeof(my_buffer); It compiles, so req_body() seems to be the way to get hold on a http::buffer_body::value_type, but simply initializing the two variables does not seem to be sufficient. I also tried to set req_.body().more to false or to true, but it didn’t change anything. I then thought, I might try a dynamic_body. This would store the entire upload in memory, but perhaps I get more familiar with the beat framework, when I try to use this body. And in deed, I managed to write some code, that shows all request headers and the request body on stdout. To get the body, I had to copy the buffer contents into a std::string: std::string body{ boost::asio::buffers_begin(req.body().data()), boost::asio::buffers_end(req.body().data()) }; Since large files have to be handled by my code, this additional copy of the data is to be avoided. So I tried to iterate the body using the iterators: const auto begin = boost::asio::buffers_begin(req.body().data()); const auto end = boost::asio::buffers_end(req.body().data()); for (auto it = begin; it != end; it++) putchar(*it); While it runs fine on the windows box, the loop crashes on linux in the 512th iteration in it++.

Boost + Emscripten: .bc files?
by Rainer Deyke 22 Apr '21

22 Apr '21

I managed to successfully compile a subset of Boost for Emscripten using the emscripten toolset. However, this for some reason produces .bc files for libraries instead of .a files, which causes link errors I try to link my project. How can I get Boost to generate .a files? (Emscripten uses .a files for libraries: https://emscripten.org/docs/compiling/Building-Projects.html#using-libraries) -- Rainer Deyke (rainerd(a)eldwood.com)

Reminder: BinTray is shutting down 1-May
by Marshall Clow 21 Apr '21

21 Apr '21

Bintray is “sunsetting” on the 1st of May. At that time, you will be unable to download boost releases from there. Before that time, their service will be occasionally interrupted. We will be updating the web site before then, but the new location is: https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/ <https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/> So instead of downloading from: https://dl.bintray.com/boostorg/release/1.76.0/source/boost_1_76_0.tar.gz You should download from: https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/1.76.0/source/boost_1_76… This applies to all releases from 1.63.0 onward — Marshall

ASIO: acceptor::async_accept throws "Operation cancelled" after restart io_service
by Joost Kraaijeveld 19 Apr '21

19 Apr '21

Hi, In short my program: - creates an io_service - calls acceptor::async_accept - calls io_service.run - handle several connections OK - calls io_service.stop - the acceptor goes out of scope (i.e. the destructor of the owning object is ran) - calls io_service.restart - calls acceptor::async_accept which then throws "Operation cancelled" Should it be possible to do this? When/under what circumstances does async_accept throw this exception? Could it be connected with the fact that the acceptor's destructors documents that is does some cleanup but actually does nothing, from the source: /// Destroys the acceptor. /** * This function destroys the acceptor, cancelling any outstanding * asynchronous operations associated with the acceptor as if by calling * @c cancel. */ ~basic_socket_acceptor() { } OS: Linux Debian Bullseye, Boost 1.74, gcc 10 TIA Joost

A new home for Boost releases
by Marshall Clow 12 Apr '21

12 Apr '21

We’ve been using BinTray to host our releases for a few years, and it’s worked well for us However, JFrog is shutting down BinTray soon (at the end of this month). We have moved all the releases that were hosted on BinTray over to JFrog Artifactory. They are at https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release <https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release> For example, instead of: https://dl.bintray.com/boostorg/release/1.74.0/source/boost_1_74_0.tar.gz <https://dl.bintray.com/boostorg/release/1.74.0/source/boost_1_74_0.tar.gz> You should now use: https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/1.74.0/source/boost_1_74… <https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/1.74.0/source/boost_1_74…> I’ll be updating the web site soon, but if you have automation that relies on BinTray, you should update it to use the new home. — Marshall P.S. The “nightly” snapshots will live there too, as soon as we get that set up.
