[boost-users][boost graph] edge_descriptor problem when copy from original graph
by Emerson Xu 26 Apr '16

26 Apr '16

Hi all, I have a boost graph copy problem that has been nagging me for a long time. My question is, is there anyway that I can construct a graph once, and reuse it multiple times, each time I may mutate the graph a bit. I have a class, which creates a boost graph with bundled vertex and edge properties (my own properties, vertices are routers in a network, while edges are logical links between routers). When creating the graph, some helper unordered maps are also created, like mapping from an edge_descriptor to a logical link name, from a router name to a vertex_descriptor, etc. Now there are multiple clients calling some method in the class. Current strategy is to construct a new boost graph instance for every client, and run the service on each graph instance. Now I want to improve the performance by avoiding constructing the graph for every client ( >100 clients are calling it simultaneously). So I am thinking that we can initialize only one base graph, and make it a copy for every client. Then the problem comes, since in the method the client needs use those helper unordered maps, but the data inside the maps are from that original base graph. Even if I use a copy constructor(deep copy) for each graph copy, some graph data is still inconsistent, like the edge_descriptor, for example, I can't use the hashmap with edge_descriptor as key, because this edge_descriptor only points to the memory address of base graph. Best, Emerson

error when copying blocks into a dynamic_bitset
by Diab Jerius 26 Apr '16

26 Apr '16

Hi, I'm trying to initialize a dynamic_bitset<unsigned char> from a vector of blocks. Here's the code: #include <cstdlib> #include <vector> #include <boost/dynamic_bitset.hpp> typedef boost::dynamic_bitset<unsigned char> BitSet; typedef std::vector<BitSet::block_type> Block; int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { int nbits = atoi( argv[1] ); BitSet bits( nbits ); Block buffer; buffer.resize( bits.num_blocks(), 0xff ); boost::from_block_range(buffer.begin(),buffer.end(), bits ); return 0; } If the bitset size isn't a multiple of sizeof(unsigned char) (here 8) , ~dynamic_bitset() throws an exception. For example: % ./a.out 1 a.out: boost-1.60.0/include/boost/dynamic_bitset/dynamic_bitset.hpp:633: boost::dynamic_bitset<Block, Allocator>::~dynamic_bitset() [with Block = unsigned char; Allocator = std::allocator<unsigned char>]: Assertion `m_check_invariants()' failed. Aborted % ./a.out 8 % ./a.out 15 a.out: boost-1.60.0/boost/dynamic_bitset/dynamic_bitset.hpp:633: boost::dynamic_bitset<Block, Allocator>::~dynamic_bitset() [with Block = unsigned char; Allocator = std::allocator<unsigned char>]: Assertion `m_check_invariants()' failed. Aborted % ./a.out 16 % I see this with 1.59 & 1.60 using either g++ 4.7.2 or Apple LLVM version 6.0 (clang-600.0.57) (based on LLVM 3.5svn) I believe that I'm following the rules for the buffer type and size. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks! Diab

Compiler errors using boost/program_options with Boost v 1.53 and v 1.59
by Christine Peters 26 Apr '16

26 Apr '16

Dear all, I had to reinstall my boost version as the cluster environment I'm working on has switched from Scientific Linux 6 to CentOS 7. When I'm now compiling my code including the header "#include <boost/program_options>", I will receive the following error message: In file included from /home/phys3aauger/tine/ApeInstalled/External/boost/1_59_0/include/boost/mpl/aux_/arithmetic_op.hpp:34:0, from /home/phys3aauger/tine/ApeInstalled/External/boost/1_59_0/include/boost/mpl/times.hpp:19, from /home/phys3aauger/tine/ApeInstalled/External/boost/1_59_0/include/boost/mpl/multiplies.hpp:17, from /home/phys3aauger/tine/ApeInstalled/External/boost/1_59_0/include/boost/numeric/conversion/detail/is_subranged.hpp:17, from /home/phys3aauger/tine/ApeInstalled/External/boost/1_59_0/include/boost/numeric/conversion/detail/conversion_traits.hpp:21, from /home/phys3aauger/tine/ApeInstalled/External/boost/1_59_0/include/boost/numeric/conversion/conversion_traits.hpp:13, from /home/phys3aauger/tine/ApeInstalled/External/boost/1_59_0/include/boost/numeric/conversion/converter.hpp:13, from /home/phys3aauger/tine/ApeInstalled/External/boost/1_59_0/include/boost/numeric/conversion/cast.hpp:33, from /home/phys3aauger/tine/ApeInstalled/External/boost/1_59_0/include/boost/lexical_cast/detail/converter_numeric.hpp:37, from /home/phys3aauger/tine/ApeInstalled/External/boost/1_59_0/include/boost/lexical_cast/try_lexical_convert.hpp:34, from /home/phys3aauger/tine/ApeInstalled/External/boost/1_59_0/include/boost/lexical_cast.hpp:32, from /home/phys3aauger/tine/ApeInstalled/External/boost/1_59_0/include/boost/program_options/value_semantic.hpp:14, from /home/phys3aauger/tine/ApeInstalled/External/boost/1_59_0/include/boost/program_options/options_description.hpp:13, from /home/phys3aauger/tine/ApeInstalled/External/boost/1_59_0/include/boost/program_options.hpp:15, from /home/cp652127/EclipseWorkspace/AMD-Geant4.10/amd/externals/g4sipm/sample/include/ParticleSourceMessenger.hh:24, from /home/cp652127/EclipseWorkspace/AMD-Geant4.10/amd/externals/g4sipm/sample/include/AsciiPersistencyHandler.hh:20, from /home/cp652127/EclipseWorkspace/AMD-Geant4.10/amd/externals/g4sipm/sample/include/RunAction.hh:16, from /home/cp652127/EclipseWorkspace/AMD-Geant4.10/amd/externals/g4sipm/sample/src/RunAction.cc:9: /home/phys3aauger/tine/ApeInstalled/External/boost/1_59_0/include/boost/mpl/aux_/include_preprocessed.hpp:37:90: fatal error: boost/mpl/aux_/preprocessed/gcc/ostimes.hpp: No such file or directory # include BOOST_PP_STRINGIZE(boost/mpl/aux_/preprocessed/AUX778076_PREPROCESSED_HEADER) ^ compilation terminated.

It seems that somehow the AUX778076 parameter defined in "boost/1_59_0/include/boost/mpl/times.hpp" is converted to ostimes during the compilation: I've changed, just for testing reasons!, in file "/boost/1_59_0/include/boost/mpl/times.hpp" the line "#define AUX778076_OP_NAME times" to "#define AUX778076_OP_NAME timestest" and then boost is searching for the correct header "timestest.hpp" but in the case of "#define AUX778076_OP_NAME times" it is searching for "ostimes.hpp" instead of "times.hpp". Thanks in advance for your help! Cheers, Christine

[interprocess] posix_recursive_mutex constructor never called, fails to init mutex
by Adrian Cheater 23 Apr '16

23 Apr '16

This was submitted as a bug (https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/12150) but I don't know that this is actually a boost bug, possibly a OSX or clang issue, or maybe I'm just doing something silly, so I'm hoping someone here can shed some light on the issue. I'm trying to use boost's shared memory system to get data from another application, but while it works fine on Ubuntu 15.10 with boost 1.58 and 1.60 on gcc, clang-3.6 and clang-3.7, it throws an exception when it attempts to acquire the mutex lock on OSX because the mutex has not been initialized. Placing a breakpoint in the constructor for the recursive_lock never gets hit, and I'm not sure why. Hopefully someone with more OSX experience can help me sort this out. Thanks very much for your time.

[gsoc16] Summer of Code 2016 shall proceed after all
by Niall Douglas 22 Apr '16

22 Apr '16

Dear Boost, We are very glad to announce that non-Google funding has been found to continue the Summer of Code for the following veteran student projects in Summer 2016: A. Boost Document, mentored by Antony Polukhin. Veteran student: Anurag Ghosh https://anuragxel.github.io/boost-document/ B. Boost.Compute, mentored by Kyle Lutz. Veteran student: Jakub Szuppe https://boostorg.github.io/compute/ C. Boost.Http, mentored by Bjorn Reese. Veteran student: Vinícius dos Santos Oliveira https://boostgsoc14.github.io/boost.http/ All three of these projects shall see a Summer of Code as if it were Google Summer of Code following the same timeline, mentor and student stipends, and progress acceptance criteria. Our thanks to the students and mentors for being so patient during the organisation of this funding. This all happened very quickly and much faster than Boost org processes normally happen - it would not have been possible without the efforts of Jon Kalb and Bryce Adelstein Lelbach, the latter of whom wrote up a great funding request worth reading at https://goo.gl/7v3VMK. Thanks are also due to the Boost Steering Committee for moving so quickly to vote on this, and to Boris Schäling for finding sponsorship for this effort. And finally congratulations to the veteran students! Niall and Bryce --- Boost C++ Libraries Google Summer of Code 2016 admin https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/SoC2016

measuring distance between a point and a segment
by Juliette Pera 22 Apr '16

22 Apr '16

Dear all, I am currently trying to use the boost library in order to measure the shortest distance between a point and a list of segments. I am declaring a segment to which I append the two points of my segment and the I calculate the distance from my point P to the segment. xsegment_t segment; geom::append(segment,geom::make_point(A[0],A[1])); geom::append(segment,geom::make_point(B[0],B[1])); double distance2 = geom::distance(segment,geom::make_point(P[0],P[1])); The issue is that I measure every time the same distance even if the segment is different. Does anyone knows from where that issue can come from? Thank you in advance, Juliette Pera

boost with c++11
by Christian Meesters 13 Apr '16

13 Apr '16

Dear All, Perhaps my question has been covered already, in this case a pointer to the relevant docs / thread would be highly appreciated. However, I have not been able to find the answer on my question: My code makes use of the C++11 standard and the standard libraries. I feel tempted to employ more current features, also beyond C++11, eventually. When downloading the boost 1.60.0 release and compiling with cxxflags='-std=c++11 -march=native' toolset=gcc linkflags=-stdlib=libc++ supplied to b2 compilation of my software (with gcc 5.3.0) leads to a number of warning messages and deprecation messages related to unused variables or redifined symbols, e.g.: - boost_1_60_0/include/boost/system/error_code.hpp:223:36: warning: ‘boost::system::native_ecat’ defined but not used [-Wunused-variable] static const error_category & native_ecat = system_category(); - /boost_1_60_0/include/boost/iostreams/chain.hpp:256:14: warning: ‘template<class> class std::auto_ptr’ is deprecated [-Wdeprecated-declarations] std::auto_ptr<streambuf_t> In file included from /cluster/gcc/5.3.0/include/c++/5.3.0/memory:81:0, from trunk/src/ngs_io.cpp:8: /cluster/gcc/5.3.0/include/c++/5.3.0/bits/unique_ptr.h:49:28: note: declared here template<typename> class auto_ptr; - /usr/include/boost/iostreams/detail/adapter/concept_adapter.hpp:35:7: note: ‘boost::iostreams::detail::concept_adapter<boost::iostreams::basic_gzip_decompressor<> >::concept_adapter(const boost::iostreams::detail::concept_adapter<boost::iostreams::basic_gzip_decompressor<> >&)’ is implicitly deleted because the default definition would be ill-formed: class concept_adapter { ^ etc. And most importantly this error: /usr/include/boost/iostreams/detail/adapter/concept_adapter.hpp:35:7: error: use of deleted function ‘boost::iostreams::basic_gzip_decompressor<>::basic_gzip_decompressor(const boost::iostreams::basic_gzip_decompressor<>&)’ My g++ compiler flags (other than output and source file) are: -c -fopenmp -O3 -march=native -Wall -ansi -pedantic -Wuninitialized -std=c++11 The code compiles fine with a git pull from May last year, yet I do not recall what I have done differently. So, can anybody tell me how to set up boost, such that compilation and linking against C++11 std-libraries works? I understand that Best regards, Christian Meesters

Dear members, I have a question about Boost syslog. I"m beginner Boost user. I created attached code and can't understand why it doesn't work. I execute my code on linux Kubuntu 3.13.0 After execution I"m looking for test strings in syslog file: grep "Test" /var/log/syslog But I don't see any line. I tried to execute commands from shell logger "Test from shell" logger -n 127.0.0.1 -t myapp -p user.notice "Test from shell" I see these lines after executing grep on /var/log/syslog I tried to initialize syslog_backend with boost::log::keywords::use_impl = boost::log::sinks::syslog::native instead of boost::log::keywords::use_impl = boost::log::sinks::syslog::udp_socket_based but then I get compile message, native not defined. I found BOOST_LOG_USE_NATIVE_SYSLOG macro which should be defined during Boost build, but I don't understand how to activate this macro in boost build. Can you please suggest what is the problem?

seekable input filter definition
by Cherotek Music 07 Apr '16

07 Apr '16

Hey, I'm new to boost and need a seekable input filter that will operate on bytes read from an ifstream. This is what I currently have: struct my_filter : boost::iostreams::seekable_filter{ template<typename Source> int get(Source& src) { int byte = boost::iostreams::get(src); if(byte != EOF && byte != boost::iostreams::WOULD_BLOCK) { // Do something with byte } return byte; } template<typename Sink> bool put(Sink&, char) { // No need to actually implement put because this filter is only used with ifstream return true; } template<typename T> std::streampos seek(T& t, boost::iostreams::stream_offset off, std::ios_base::seekdir way, std::ios_base::openmode which = std::ios_base::in | std::ios_base::out) { return boost::iostreams::seek(t, off, way, which); }}; It works but I would like to get rid of the useless put method. The boost documentation here http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_60_0/libs/iostreams/doc/concepts/filter.html says there is an InputSeekableFilter refinement of Filter but I can't seem to understand how to use it (there are no input_seekable_filter_tag or input_seekable_filter structs that I could use). Thanks

Inside my handler I check the error code, which is equal to operation aborted: void ConnectionBase::ReadUntilHandler( const boost::system::error_code & ec, std::size_t bytes_transferred) { // ec == boost::asio::error::operation_aborted ... } At some other point I call io_service.run_one, which calls the above handler: ... m_asioService.run_one(ec); assert(ec == boost::asio::error::operation_aborted); ... The assertion fails - for some reason the error code is not the same as in the handler. What's the reason for this? Maybe my assumtion that run_one(ec) returns the error code of the handler is simply wrong? If so, what error does io_service.run(ec) actually report? Thanks for help, Michael PS: boost::asio version is 1.56.0

Using Boost.ASIO with Boost.Coroutine2
by Carlos Ferreira 06 Apr '16

06 Apr '16

Hello to all! Is it possible to use Boost.ASIO with Boost.Coroutine2? For what I understood upon reading the documentation, using Boost.Corouine2 is preferable, due to issues present in Coroutine that were solved in Coroutine2. The documentation is scarse and I'm having some trouble in making things work. Thank you! -- Carlos Miguel Ferreira Researcher at Telecommunications Institute Aveiro - Portugal Work E-mail - cmf(a)av.it.pt Skype & GTalk -> carlosmf.pt(a)gmail.com LinkedIn -> http://www.linkedin.com/in/carlosmferreira

[Q] piecewise_construct for boost::container::map::emplace()
by dave m. 05 Apr '16

05 Apr '16

I recently tried (but failed) to use boost::container::map::emplace() with the piecewise_construct tag to forward constructor args as tuples. After some fiddling around, it appears that piecewise_construct is not implemented for boost::container::detail::pair (see boost/container/detail/pair.hpp:151). I couldn't find any discussion in the mailing list archives. Is there a good reason not to use emplace() this way, or unreasonable difficulty in implementing piecewise_construct for pair<U,V>? (I ended up making constructors for my K, V elements that take tuples<>, so emplace() is working for me, but I'm not completely sure that I have avoided all possible copy/move operations. Using gcc-4.9.2, fwiw.) Thanks, dhm

Boost.Fit review Mars 3-20 result
by Vicente J. Botet Escriba 03 Apr '16

03 Apr '16

Hi, I will be out for two weeks and I wanted to at least give the result of the Boost.Fit library review even if I would need more time to have a complete report. Summary ======= The review of the proposed Boost.Fit library ended on Mars 20, 2016. The verdict is: Conditional acceptance (a new review is needed) There were too much concerns about the documentation and what exactly this library is proposing and not enough reviews commenting the design, code and test for each one of the proposed functions. From the review discussion I deduce that there is some interest in the library, and that some people don't understand yet what the library is proposing. Paul has started already to take in account some if the issues raised during the review and a lot of them must be resolved before we re-try a new review. There were some discussion about the name of the library, but there were no consensus. Paul is free to change the name of his library and see how people react. On behalf of the Boost community, I would like to thank Paul Fultz for the work he has put into the Fit library so far. I encourage him to continue to evolve this library and to bring it back for a new review. We had seven 6 formal votes, and 2 more votes without a complete review abbreviated here: Steaven Watanabe: No in his current state Zach Laine : Conditinal acceptance Krzysztof Jusiak: Accepted Artyom Beilis : Rejected Peter Dimov : Accepted (no review) Manuel Sancher : Accepted (no review) Rob Stewart : Conditinal acceptance ??? Louis Dionne : Conditinal acceptance There were other people that participated on the review giving their advice respect to a specific issue. I thank each of these reviewers, and indeed everyone who invested some time participating in the discussions. If you feel that I have misrepresented your position, or have omitted or garbled an important point, please respond: the archived mail thread should accurately reflect the will of the community, even if this message does not. Detailed Report =============== You will need to wait yet for a month before I will be able to do it. On the mean time there are a lot of issues that must be addressed and that are part of the github issues. For more information see: Github:https://github.com/pfultz2/Fit/tree/boost Issues:https://github.com/pfultz2/Fit/issues Documentation:http://pfultz2.github.io/Fit/doc/html/ Hopping this helps, Vicente Botet Escriba

[Python] exec_file double delete
by Albert Yiamakis 03 Apr '16

03 Apr '16

Hello, Working with Boost 1.58, I am using Boost.Python to interpret python code. eval() and exec() are working as expected, however exec_file results on a double delete upon finishing reading the script. This can be observed in the following minimal: #include <boost/python.hpp> int main() { Py_Initialize(); boost::python::exec_file("foo.py"); } where foo.py contains a single line: print "hello" hello is printed on the screen - i.e. the script is completed before the crash. Valgrind also finds a number of invalid reads in the exec_file line before an invalid free/delete. Is there something I'm missing in exec_file usage, or do you think there might be a mismatch of dependencies? (using boost and python both from my package manager). Thank you, Albert

Boost.Spirit's Greedy Fundamental Type Parsers
by Daniel Hofmann 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

Suppose I want to parse a list of ";"-separated floating point pairs with "," being the pair separator as in "1,2;3,4". Following this list comes a string literal representing a file extension, such as ".txt". Therefore what I want to successfully parse input like the following: 1,2;3,4.txt (For the record, the input could also be 1.1,2.2;3.3,4.4.txt) The parser I came up with is the 1:1 translation of above's description into the Spirit DSL and shows Spirit's expressive power: ((double_ % ",") % ";") >> ".txt" Unfortunately, the parser fails on the input with the integral values above. Why? Because the fundamental parser for double_ greedily matches on the "4." in "4.txt". Changing the "4" to "4.0" as in 1,2;3,4.0.txt parses successfully (but is not an option as it requires the user to always add a trailing ".0" in case the last digit is integral. I read about Spirit's DSL mapping to Parsing Expression Grammar (PEG) with the choice operator | being evaluated in order. So the next logical step for me was to try making use of it and adapting the parser: (((int_ | double_) % ",") % ";") >> ".txt" which works on 1,2;3,4.txt but no longer on 1,2;3,4.0.txt Is there a way to adapt the parser to handle both cases? I asked this on IRC and got the answer to try a solution based on ((double_ >> ".") | (int_ >> ".")) >> "txt" but when I use use this to parse "4.txt" into a std::vector<double> via parse(first, last, ((double_ >> ".") | (int_ >> ".")) >> "txt", into); the vector contains: {4, 4} and its size() is 2, which I can make no sense of at all (but this may be a different problem).

Looping through variadic macro arguments
by Florian Lindner 31 Mar '16

31 Mar '16

Hello, I have this macro: #define vmacro(expr, ...) \ cout << "n macro = " << BOOST_PP_VARIADIC_SIZE(__VA_ARGS__) << endl; \ cout << BOOST_PP_VARIADIC_ELEM(0, __VA_ARGS__) << endl; \ cout << BOOST_PP_VARIADIC_ELEM(1, __VA_ARGS__) << endl; \ for (int i = 0; i < BOOST_PP_VARIADIC_SIZE(__VA_ARGS__); i++) { \ cout << i << ": " << BOOST_PP_VARIADIC_ELEM(i, __VA_ARGS__) << endl; \ } The VARIADIC_SIZE is correct and I can access elements using BOOST_PP_VARIADIC_ELEM as long as I use a literal. The loop body produces error messages when compiling. BOOST_PP_VARIADICS is 1. The goal is to concatenate all variadic macro arguments to a string. If there a more clever solution, I'm very eager to hear them. Thanks!

ptree json parser is not bidirectionnal
by Sébastien Gallou 25 Mar '16

25 Mar '16

Hi all, I experience a strange behavior of parsing non-JSON data with JSON parser. Take this example : boost::property_tree::ptree m_tree; > // Non-JSON to ptree using JSON parserstd::istringstream is("1"); // Simple value, non-JSON > boost::property_tree::json_parser::read_json(is, m_tree); // ==> No exception ! > // ptree back to JSONstd::ostringstream buf; > boost::property_tree::json_parser::write_json(buf, m_tree, false); // ==> Exception > > Unserializing non-JSON value using JSON parser doesn't raise exception. If you try to serialize the resulted ptree, you now got an exception. Is this behavior normal ? In this case, is there an easy and light mean to check that input value is JSON formatted (Regex ?) ? Thanks for your help, S. Gallou

Consider the following functions and member functions: void fn(int i, float f); int fn(const std::string& str); float car::method(); void car::method(int i, double d); According to boost.python documentation we can add these function using either of following constructs: void (*fn1)(int, float) = fn; int (*fn2)(const std::string&) = fn; def("fn", fn1); def("fn", fn2); float (car::*method1)() = &car::method; void (car::*method2)(int, double) = &car::method; .def("method", method1) .def("method", method2) or to avoid those intermediate variables we can do it directly: def("fn", (void (*)(int, float))fn); def("fn", (int (*)(const std::string&))fn); .def("method", (float(car::*)())&car::method) .def("method", (void (car::*)(int, double))&car::method) Which in my opinion is not readable enough. So I wrote a small utility to make it a little bit more readable. For example: def("fn", overload<void(int, float)>(fn)); def("fn", overload<int(const std::string&)(fn)); .def("method", overload<float()>(&car::method)); .def("method", overload<void(int, double)>(&car::method)); Notice how I gave the desired signature to the overload function and it will choose that exact overload for me. It's not only limited to boost.python and we can use it wherever we need to select a specific overloaded function. For example: auto f = overload<void(int, float)>(fn); Of course it's just a syntactic sugar and you might not find it improving anything at all but in my case it helped my code readability somehow. Now my question. I pasted the whole thing here. As for non-member functions I could implement it relying only on C++11 variadic templates. But for member functions I couldn't find a way to do it without boost.preprocess and using only C++11 variadic template. Here is the full code tested with GCC 5.3.1 (std=C++11), Clang 3.7.0 (std=C++11) and MSVC2015 #include <type_traits> #include <boost/mpl/vector.hpp> #include <boost/preprocessor/arithmetic/inc.hpp> #include <boost/preprocessor/punctuation/comma_if.hpp> #include <boost/preprocessor/repetition.hpp> namespace boost { namespace detail { template <typename SignatureType> struct fn_signature; template <typename ResultType, typename... ArgType> struct fn_signature<ResultType(ArgType...)> { using result_type = ResultType; using arg_type = boost::mpl::vector<ArgType...>; static const std::size_t arg_count = sizeof...(ArgType); using type = ResultType(*)(ArgType...); }; template <typename ClassType, typename SignatureType> struct memfn_signature; template <typename ClassType, typename ResultType, typename... ArgType> struct memfn_signature<ClassType, ResultType(ArgType...)> { using type = ResultType(ClassType::*)(ArgType...); }; } // namespace detail template <typename SignatureType> typename detail::fn_signature<SignatureType>::type overload(typename detail::fn_signature<SignatureType>::type fn) { return fn; } #define BOOST_OVERLOAD_MAX_ARGS_COUNT 5 #define BOOST_OVERLOAD_PP_METHOD_OVERLOAD_ARGS(Z, N, C) BOOST_PP_COMMA_IF(N) typename std::enable_if<detail::fn_signature<SignatureType>::arg_count == C, typename boost::mpl::at_c<typename detail::fn_signature<SignatureType>::arg_type, N>::type>::type #define BOOST_OVERLOAD_PP_METHOD_OVERLOAD_IMPL(Z, N, _) \ template <typename SignatureType, typename ClassType> \ typename detail::memfn_signature<ClassType, SignatureType>::type overload(typename detail::fn_signature<SignatureType>::result_type(ClassType::*memfn)(BOOST_PP_REPEAT(N, BOOST_OVERLOAD_PP_METHOD_OVERLOAD_ARGS, N))) \ { \ return memfn; \ } BOOST_PP_REPEAT(BOOST_PP_INC(BOOST_OVERLOAD_MAX_ARGS_COUNT), BOOST_OVERLOAD_PP_METHOD_OVERLOAD_IMPL, _) #undef BOOST_OVERLOAD_PP_METHOD_OVERLOAD_IMPL #undef BOOST_OVERLOAD_PP_METHOD_OVERLOAD_ARGS #undef BOOST_OVERLOAD_MAX_ARGS_COUNT } // namespace boost The problem is I cannot find a way to force the overload resolution to pick the specific overload and also automatically deduce the ClassType template parameter at the same time. If the language let me to alias a variadic template parameter then it would be possible to do it. For example I could do this: template <typename ClassType, typename ResultType, typename... ArgType> struct memfn_signature<ClassType, ResultType(ArgType...)> { using type = ResultType(ClassType::*)(ArgType...); using result_type = ResultType; *using arg_type = ArgType...;* }; template <typename SignatureType, typename ClassType> typename detail::memfn_signature<ClassType, SignatureType>::type overload(typename detail::memfn_signature<SignatureType>::result_type (ClassType::*memfn)(typename detail::memfn_signature<SignatureType>::arg_type)) { return memfn; } Right now my preprocess implementation works with no problem but It's not a clean implementation. So is there any other way that I can do this. I appreciate your help.

Boost.Serialization how to use serialize without nvp
by gast128 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

Hello all, we basically have a setup like this: #ifdef _DEBUG template <typename T> struct Wrapper { T m_value; }; #define HANDLE(T) Wrapper<T> #else #define HANDLE(T) T #endif We want archives the same for debug and release. So I tried a couple of things: * use primitive_type: This doesn't work if the type T is a string. Basically it doesn't come in the 'load(std::wstring &ws)' anymore, since it now routes to operator<< and then all kinds of nasty thing happens for xml archives. * overload serialize. This is also a failure, since it expects somehow a nvp, which I tried to circumvent since then there is a difference between archives in debug or release. Using 'is_wrapper' doesn't help either template <class Archive, typename T> void serialize(Archive& ar, Wrapper<T>& r, const unsigned int) { ar & r.m_value; // static assert in basic_xml_iarchive::load_override } somehow I must specify raw storage in the serialize function, but load_override and its siblings are all protected. Anyone?

Confused by boost graph descriptor invalidation
by Paolo Bolzoni 21 Mar '16

21 Mar '16

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Dear list, I have a adjacency_list with OutEdgeList and VertexList as vecS and I do need to split edges. To split an edge is to remove it, replace with two edges with a new vertex in the middle. Since I am changing the graph I want to be sure how the invalidation works and so I read the page in[1], but I am confused by the table "Summary of Descriptor and Iterator Invalidation." The text states the table summarizes which operations cause descriptors and iterators to become invalid, said so what does "OK" means? My feeling is that iterators never become invalid, is that the case? And what "EL=vecS && Directed=directedS" means? It means that you are _fine_ only if you are working with a adjcency_list with OutEdgeList as vecS and Directed=directedS or the opposite (i.e., if you are using such adjcency_list then all iterators become invalid) Yours faithfully, Paolo [1] http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/libs/graph/doc/adjacency_list.html -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJW78v4AAoJENxW6b8QprD6Aq4H/jXK9kfFy65yZzzzySsFteS6 V9PFvCyrjzgrbGojMZok3Xxz2fJBvfvomqnzEgDuFy7I1P73dkyL3gbwRoPINQpN Qu/0zqskpWf6gJjnu0/3QtSDRBQ1hvT/ZmfhfoUyh1CSQuxyH+/VQV5V4uaDxymQ /atbZWn8Ry1e4noHlS1l27FvEF+qsxOGaHsqBr1Of5KYvcdWmEqN2PJjqWF87Ev7 +sCY4/aD5rT0n+FLBa/Qk/opblbNYprjCmTgpWjKh4lnRmrHJAJNTQeKwZC+e8Hx SOqW2kAQMRW46/y+VcMnOOv+M5UOxqj0K+EgAWVLaoyAZTJzbSc2E9VQL3fB4AA= =xH7S -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

boost linker errors
by Mark 21 Mar '16

21 Mar '16

Hi I am trying to link to a boost library, program_options, using Visual Studio 2015 and I am getting 'lnk2019 unresolved external symbol’ errors. I have built the boost libraries using b2 and built the complete libraries for msvc. The libraries are 32 bit. I have configured visual studio to point at the correct location for both the headers and the libraries, I’ve confirmed this. I am statically linking against libboost_program_options-vc140-mt-sgd-1_60.lib, though I have tried all the other variants of this library, e.g. removed the mt, the gd and the s parts of the name, without effect. I have tried all the different calling convention options in properties, I am building with the /MTd option set, though I have tried others. i have searched the internet thoroughly and cannot find a replication of my problem. Using BOOST_LIB_DIAGNOSTIC confirms that the library is being linked, I see the message in the output window. The errors I am getting are: Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl simulate(class nemo::Simulation *,unsigned int,unsigned int,class std::basic_ostream<char,struct std::char_traits<char> > &)" (?simulate@@YAXPAVSimulation@nemo@@IIAAV?$basic_ostream@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@@std@@@Z) referenced in function _main NeMo_Test C:\Users\Development\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\NeMo_Test\NeMo_Test\main.obj 1 Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol "long __cdecl benchmark(class nemo::Simulation *,unsigned int,unsigned int,class boost::program_options::variables_map &,unsigned int)" (?benchmark@@YAJPAVSimulation@nemo@@IIAAVvariables_map@program_options@boost@@I@Z) referenced in function _main NeMo_Test C:\Users\Development\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\NeMo_Test\NeMo_Test\main.obj 1 Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol "class nemo::Configuration __cdecl configuration(class boost::program_options::variables_map &)" (?configuration@@YA?AVConfiguration@nemo@@AAVvariables_map@program_options@boost@@@Z) referenced in function _main NeMo_Test C:\Users\Development\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\NeMo_Test\NeMo_Test\main.obj 1 Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol "class boost::program_options::variables_map __cdecl processOptions(int,char * * const,class boost::program_options::options_description const &)" (?processOptions@@YA?AVvariables_map@program_options@boost@@HQAPADABVoptions_description@23@@Z) referenced in function _main NeMo_Test C:\Users\Development\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\NeMo_Test\NeMo_Test\main.obj 1 Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol "class boost::program_options::options_description __cdecl commonOptions(void)" (?commonOptions@@YA?AVoptions_description@program_options@boost@@XZ) referenced in function _main NeMo_Test C:\Users\Development\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\NeMo_Test\NeMo_Test\main.obj 1 Error LNK1120 5 unresolved externals NeMo_Test C:\Users\Development\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\NeMo_Test\Debug\NeMo_Test.exe 1 I would be very grateful if anyone could provide a clue as to what I am missing or have done wrong.

[Fit] formal review starts today
by Vicente J. Botet Escriba 21 Mar '16

21 Mar '16

Dear Boost community, sorry for the late anounce The formal review of Paul Fultz II's Fit library starts today, 2nd March and ends on 13th March. Fit is a header-only C++11/C++14 library that provides utilities for functions and function objects. Fit is: - Modern: Fit takes advantages of modern C++11/C++14 features. It support both `constexpr` initialization and `constexpr` evaluation of functions. It takes advantage of type deduction, varidiac templates, and perfect forwarding to provide a simple and modern interface. - Relevant: Fit provides utilities for functions and does not try to implement a functional language in C++. As such, Fit solves many problems relevant to C++ programmers, including initialization of function objects and lambdas, overloading with ordering, improved return type deduction, and much more. - Lightweight: Fit builds simple lightweight abstraction on top of function objects. It does not require subscribing to an entire framework. Just use the parts you need. Fit is divided into three components: * Function Adaptors and Decorators: These enhance functions with additional capability. * Functions: These return functions that achieve a specific purpose. * Utilities: These are general utilities that are useful when defining or using functions Fit has been tested on gcc 4.6-4.9, clang 3.4-3.7, and Visual Studio 2015. For more information see: Github:https://github.com/pfultz2/Fit/tree/boost Documentation:http://pfultz2.github.io/Fit/doc/html/ We encourage your participation in this review. At a minimum, kindly state: - Whether you believe the library should be accepted into Boost * Conditions for acceptance - Your name - Your knowledge of the problem domain. You are strongly encouraged to also provide additional information: - What is your evaluation of the library's: * Design * Implementation * Documentation * Tests * Usefulness - Did you attempt to use the library? If so: * Which compiler(s) * What was the experience? Any problems? - How much effort did you put into your evaluation of the review? More information about the review process can be found here:http://www.boost.org/community/reviews.html We await your feedback! Best regards, Vicente J. Botet Escriba

"Apple LLVM version 7.0.2 (clang-700.1.81)" with C++03, C++11, C++14, and c++1z I was not successful building the libraries with clang ToT. Boost.Python, in particular, had compile errors. I don't know if this is a problem in Boost.Python, or in libc++. (probably libc++) I will continue to investigate. In any case, I don't think that this should hold up the beta release. -- Marshall

Hi, There have been some that would be able to write a review next week-end. Others said that they had not enough time. Maybe having an additional week can help. I have not received confirmation from the review withards, but as there is no planned reviews for this week, I propose to continue with the review until 20th.

Boost graph library: brandes_betweenness_centrality() usage
by Sebastian Rinke 18 Mar '16

18 Mar '16

Dear all, I have a question regarding how to use the BGL brandes_betweenness_centrality() function for calculating the vertex betweenness centrality for a directed weighted graph. Below is my small example that fails to compile: —8>— /* Create graph */ typedef property<edge_weight_t, double> EdgeWeightProperty; typedef adjacency_list< vecS, // OutEdgeList vecS, // VertexList directedS, // Directed no_property, // VertexProperties EdgeWeightProperty // EdgeProperties > Graph; Graph graph(num_vertices); /* Add edges … */ std::vector<double> v_centrality_vec(num_vertices(graph), 0.0); // Create the external vertex centrality property map iterator_property_map<std::vector<double>::iterator, identity_property_map> v_centrality_map(v_centrality_vec.begin()); brandes_betweenness_centrality(graph, v_centrality_map, weight_map(get(edge_weight, graph))); —8>— The first compilation error I get is: boost_1_58_0/boost/graph/betweenness_centrality.hpp:248:7: error: no type named 'value_type' in 'struct boost::property_traits<boost::bgl_named_params<boost::adj_list_edge_property_map<boost::directed_tag, double, double&, long unsigned int, boost::property<boost::edge_weight_t, double>, boost::edge_weight_t>, boost::edge_weight_t, boost::no_property> >' centrality_type; ^ When using the following call instead, it compiles: brandes_betweenness_centrality(graph, v_centrality_map); I would be very grateful for any help on this issue. Best regards, Sebastian

Way to Promise the io_service.run() Is Running
by Bo Zhou 16 Mar '16

16 Mar '16

Hi ! I have a program which has a following logic 1. Start the UDP listening in daemon thread 2. Send the UDP command from main thread, and wait the response, maybe from the local So the program itself might also receive the message from second step. But the problem is, on Windows, the receiving thread will be executed before the main thread starts to send message, so the behaviour is correct. On Linux that's opposite, the main thread will be in deadlock because the 1st thread is not running and 2nd step it's trying to receive something after sending the command. My question, in the main thread of my application, what could I do to detect the io_service is running ? I tried to call m_io_services.stopped() seems the state is not correct, so I'd like to know how can I wait until the event loop in 1st step is running ? Thank you very much !
