[PBGL] Creating graph on multiple processes
by Alexander Frolov 29 Jun '15

29 Jun '15

Hi! I am trying to create undirected weighted graph on two mpi-processes. I use add_edge function to add edges (master (pid=0) process is responsible for this). For small graphs everything is ok. But when I create larger graphs (for instance, number of vertices is 2^20 and number of edges is 2^28) the program hangs supposedly in add_edge. For mpirun -np 1 there is no such problem. What can cause this issue? Thanks for any help! Best, Alex

Boost.DLL formal review
by Vladimir Prus 29 Jun '15

29 Jun '15

The formal review of Boost.DLL library by Antony Polukhin starts today. Boost.DLL is a C++98 library for comfortable work with DLL and DSO. Library provides a portable across platforms way to: - load libraries at runtime - import and export any native functions and variables - make alias names for C++ mangled functions and symbols - query libraries/objects and executables for sections and exported symbols - self loading and self querying - getting program and module location by exported symbol The documentation can be found at: http://apolukhin.github.io/Boost.DLL/index.html and the source can be obtained at: https://github.com/apolukhin/Boost.DLL Please post your reviews on the mailing list and if possible, answer the following questions: - Should the library be accepted? - How useful is it? - What's your evaluation of - Design - Implementation - Documentations - Tests - How much effort did you put into your evaluation? - Did you attempt to use the library? On what systems and compilers? This formal review has a couple of adjustments in place: - It will run for two calendar weeks, not for 10 days, as a number of people said 10 days is too little. That said, please try to submit a review during first week, so that necessary discussion can happen conveniently. - The documentation site has Google Analytics enabled, which will allow us to see which pages and navigation paths are most useful for reviewers. No personally identifiable information will be collected. I will post the data after the review is over. Thanks, Volodya

[Boost][DateTime] Non conforming iterators?
by dariomt＠gmail.com 29 Jun '15

29 Jun '15

Hi, The documentation for Boost.Date_Time iterators says that "Date iterators are a model of Bidirectional Iterator". However, I am not able to use them in some STL algorithms because of the lack of a required nested type. The following simplified example does not compile: #include <boost/date_time/gregorian/gregorian.hpp> #include <algorithm> void main() { using namespace boost::gregorian; date v[5]; std::copy_n( month_iterator( date(2015,06,25) ), 5, v ); } On VS2013 fails with error 'difference_type' : is not a member of 'boost::date_time::date_itr<boost::date_time::month_functor<boost::gregorian::greg_durations_config::date_type>,boost::gregorian::date>' Compilation on gcc and clang fails with a similar error complaining about the lack of 'difference_type'. Isn't a nested difference_type a requirement of BidirectionalIterator? Am I using these date iterators incorrectly? Regards

[multi_index] are indices in a random access index stable on addition, can we have an "index_of" method?
by Nick Stokes 27 Jun '15

27 Jun '15

I have a stream of pairs of elements of type T, and want to insert individual T's uniquely into a container and convert the pairs to a pair of indices into this container. Boost.MultiIndex seems to be cut out exactly for this job, but I not sure about how to obtain the indices or stability of them on addition: Take, namespace bmi = boost::multi_index; typedef bmi::multi_index_container< T, bmi::indexed_by < bmi::hashed_unique< bmi::identity<T> > , bmi::random_access<> >> MIC; MIC elements; std::vector<std::pair<int,int>> pairs; for( const std::pair<T,T>& pt : stream ) { auto t1 = elements.insert(pt.first).first; // not all insertions are successful of course auto t2 = elements.insert(pt.second).first; pairs.insert( index_of(t1), index_of(t2) ); } // where index_of() is auto index_of = [&]( MIC::const_iterator i ) { return elements.project<1>(i) - elements.get<1>().begin(); } So my questions are (1) Is the implementation of index_of() correct? (or better, is there something like this already for random access indices) (2) Is the way they are used in above loop stable, where elements are inserted after an index is obtained? Thanks Nick

And then I wrote the disclaimer that sometimes you can't do everything with black-box testing. I tried hard to get a test harness up for some legacy code in the years before and got stuck in multiple nested class hell, some d- Pointer magick and class hierarchies hard to instantiate. That is the reason why I was able to actually grep for the friend declarations needed in those cases. Not nice in my opinion, but "an ugly test is better than no test" (see http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=203994 for more on a pragmatic view on unit tests).

[Test] How to Access Private Data from a Test
by Merrill Cornish 26 Jun '15

26 Jun '15

In the Bad-Old-Days when I had to roll my own, I would define my tests as methods of a special test class. If those tests needed to access private data in the classes under test, I would declare special test class as a friend of the class under test--one extra statement and everything worked. How do I do that using Boost test (1.58.0) with the AUTO_TEST family of macros? In the labyrinth of macro expansions, I found a struct name with the argument name from BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(), but a friend of that name doesn't work. The ideal case would be to declare the string name in BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE() as a friend so one friend declaration does it all. Alternately, having to declare a separate friend for each BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE() would be tedious (especially for large classes), but it would work. At the moment, I'm using the ole private=public trick: #define private public #include "header_under_test" #undef private However, I've already discovered one system header, <sstream>, that won't work with that kludge. There may be others. Is there another workaround for Boost Tests? I can't be the only one who has to access private data in tests. Merrill Cornish

Interprocess - 3rd process cannot read/write the shared memory
by Lloyd 25 Jun '15

25 Jun '15

Hi, I am working on Windows 7, boost 1.57. I am using interprocess shared memory. I have two processes A and B. A creates the shared memory with read/write permission, then B opens it and writes to it. In this case it works fine. As the next step process A terminates and starts again and opens the same shared memory. But in this case, it seems that A and B are reading/writing to different memory! Is this a defined behavior? If I make B to reopen the memory, it works! Thanks, Lloyd

[datetime] little problem with periods
by Georg.Kellerer＠lfu.bayern.de 24 Jun '15

24 Jun '15

Hello, i am using Boost V1.5.8 under vs 2010 with a german windows 7 64 bit. When I tried to calculate a time period I always ran into the same problem. The period is calculated one day too short. I wrote a little program to illustrate my problem. It's important that you change the value of the variable test to the current date. Is this a bug or do I use the library in an incorrect way? Thanks a lot, Georg #include "boost/date_time.hpp" #include <iostream> using namespace std; using namespace boost::gregorian; int main() { date today = day_clock::local_day(); date test(2015,6,23); // Change value to current date date first(1965,10,26); date_period period(first, today); if (!period.contains(test)) cout << "shouldn't be our testdate in the period? " << endl; }

Printing local edge list in PBGL
by Alexander Frolov 23 Jun '15

23 Jun '15

Hi, I have a simple program using PBGL (boost 1.58) which creates an undirected graph and prints local edge list for the specified process. However, only for zero process the list (edges(g)) contains edge descriptors, while for non-zero processes the list is empty, which is strange, is it not? The program text is following: using namespace boost; using boost::graph::distributed::mpi_process_group; using boost::graph::parallel::process_group; std::size_t nVertices = 16; int main(int argc, char **argv) { boost::mpi::environment env(argc, argv); mpi_process_group pg; typedef adjacency_list<listS, distributedS<mpi_process_group, vecS>, undirectedS, // Vertex properties no_property, // Edge properties property<edge_weight_t, int> > Graph; Graph g(nVertices); if (process_id(pg) == 0) { std::cout << "MST Boost running..." << std::endl; std::cout << "\tnumber of mpi processes is " << num_processes(pg) << std::endl; std::cout << "\tnumber of vertices is " << nVertices << std::endl; std::cout << "\tnumber of edges is " << /*nEdges*/ nVertices << std::endl; std::cout << "Constructing graph..."; for (int i = 0; i < nVertices; i++) { uint64_t s = (i < nVertices/2) ? 0 : nVertices/2; //uint64_t s = 0; uint64_t d = i; uint64_t w = rand(); add_edge(vertex(s, g), vertex(d, g), w, g); } std::cout << "...completed" << std::endl; } synchronize(pg); typedef property_map<Graph, edge_weight_t>::type WeightMap; WeightMap weight_map = get(edge_weight, g); if (process_id(pg) == atoi(argv[1])){ std::cout << "printing vertices:\n"; Graph::vertex_iterator v, v_end; for (boost::tie(v,v_end) = vertices(g); v != v_end; v++) { std::cout << process_id(pg) << ": (" << local(*v) << "@" << owner(*v) << ")\n"; } std::cout << "end of vertex list.\n"; std::cout << "printing edges:\n"; for (typename Graph::edge_iterator ei = edges(g).first; ei != edges(g).second; ei++) { std::cout << process_id(pg) << ": (" << local(source(*ei, g)) << "@" << owner(source(*ei,g)) << "," << local(target(*ei, g)) << "@" << owner(target(*ei,g)) << "," << get(weight_map, *ei) << ")\n"; } std::cout << "end of edge list.\n"; } return 0; } The output for the process 0: mpirun -np 2 ./simple_test 0 MST Boost running... number of mpi processes is 2 number of vertices is 16 number of edges is 16 Constructing graph......completed printing vertices: 0: (0@0) 0: (1@0) 0: (2@0) 0: (3@0) 0: (4@0) 0: (5@0) 0: (6@0) 0: (7@0) end of vertex list. printing edges: 0: (0@0,0@0,1804289383) 0: (0@0,1@0,846930886) 0: (0@0,2@0,1681692777) 0: (0@0,3@0,1714636915) 0: (0@0,4@0,1957747793) 0: (0@0,5@0,424238335) 0: (0@0,6@0,719885386) 0: (0@0,7@0,1649760492) 0: (0@0,0@1,596516649) 0: (0@0,1@1,1189641421) 0: (0@0,2@1,1025202362) 0: (0@0,3@1,1350490027) 0: (0@0,4@1,783368690) 0: (0@0,5@1,1102520059) 0: (0@0,6@1,2044897763) 0: (0@0,7@1,1967513926) end of edge list.

[Serialization] Boost segfaults in archive/basic_xml_iarchive.hpp
by Mccall, Kurt E. (JSC-EG411) 22 Jun '15

22 Jun '15

If someone could help me diagnose this segmentation fault, I'd appreciate it greatly. It has stumped me for a couple of days. I'm deserializing a non-polymorphic derived class, and Boost crashes when it attempts to process the base class: Here is the pseudocode: struct Base { int id_; std::string long_name_; template<Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int file_version) { ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(id_); ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(long_name_); // SEGFAULT OCCURS HERE } } struct Derived : public Base { template<Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int file_version) { ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_BASE_OBJECT_NVP(Base); … } } I tried the methods described at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3396330/where-to-put-boost-class-export-… for exporting the derived class using BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT, but none of them affected the segfault. I guess that it isn't really necessary to export non-polymorphic derived classes. Anyway, the code crashes in archive/basic_xml_iarchive.hpp in this code at line 92: // Anything not an attribute - see below - should be a name value // pair and be processed here typedef detail::common_iarchive<Archive> detail_common_iarchive; template<class T> void load_override( #ifndef BOOST_NO_FUNCTION_TEMPLATE_ORDERING const #endif boost::serialization::nvp< T > & t, int ){ this->This()->load_start(t.name()); this->detail_common_iarchive::load_override(t.value(), 0); // SEGFAULT OCCURS HERE this->This()->load_end(t.name()); } In GDB, "this" has a valid address ( 0x7fffffffdb30) as does "t" (0x7ffffff487b0). In GDB, executing t.name() yielded the correct name "long_name_", but when executing t.value(), the debugger complained about an invalid address: RuntimeError: Cannot access memory at address 0xffffffffffffffe8 That error message comes from GDB's Python utility for pretty-printing strings (the variable being deserialized is a std::string), which is invoked when I print t.value(), but regardless something is wrong in t.value(). Does any of this suggest what I might be doing wrong? Thanks for any help.

[Variant]Maximum Limit of types in variant and fusion vector
by Elizabeta 21 Jun '15

21 Jun '15

Hi I want to use boost::variant with types more than 50. Until now I was using boost::variant with types up to 50 like this : #define BOOST_MPL_CFG_NO_PREPROCESSED_HEADERS #define BOOST_MPL_LIMIT_LIST_SIZE 50 #define BOOST_MPL_LIMIT_VECTOR_SIZE 50 #include <boost/variant.hpp> However , now if I change BOOST_MPL_LIMIT_LIST_SIZE and BOOST_MPL_LIMIT_VECTOR_SIZE to 100 it gives me compiler errors: Cannot open include file: 'boost/mpl/list/list100.hpp': No such file or directory So is 50 the maximum limit of types that can be put in the variant ? Also it seems that the maximum limit of types for vector fusion is 50, and can't increase that, and I want to have fusion vector for more than 50. Is this possible. Any suggestion -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/Variant-Maximum-Limit-of-types-in-varian… Sent from the Boost - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

bimap : Ordering
by Norman Goldstein 20 Jun '15

20 Jun '15

When iterating though a bimap with a left iterator, I notice that for the pairs having the same left member e.g. (L, R1) (L,R2), (L,R3), ... the pairs are not in increasing R, but in the insertion order of the pairs. Is this an artefact of the design, or an intention? The actual bimap I am using is typedef boost::bimap< boost::bimaps::multiset_of< unsigned int >, boost::bimaps::multiset_of< unsigned int >, boost::bimaps::set_of_relation<>, boost::bimaps::with_info< int > > BMAP; I set it up so that info stores the insertion order index. Thanks.

[Test] Small Enhancement Suggestion
by Merrill Cornish 19 Jun '15

19 Jun '15

I couldn't find the official way of suggesting an enhancement, but here goes: When a Boost Test currently runs in console mode, it logs the message lines "Running X test cases..." at the start and "*** Y failure detected in test suite 'My Test Suite' " at the end. That's all good. However, if <ahem> the test goes bad wrong and never reaches the end, there is no record in the log of which test did it. Suggestion: Change the initial log message to include the test suite name. For example, "Running X test cases from 'My Test Suite'" Merrill Cornish

[Pyhton] boost::shared_ptr problem between python modules

Hi All, I use - Visual Studio 2013 - boost 1.58 with NuGet - 64 bit Intel I have a class (called Log::FileSink) that I want to instantiate via a boost::shared_ptr. This class is derived from an abstract interface (Log::ISink) which is wrapped (Log::ISinkRealizer) boost::python::class_<Log::ISinkRealizer, boost::shared_ptr<Log:: ISinkRealizer>, boost::noncopyable>("ISink", boost::python::no_init) .def("AddEntry", boost::python::pure_virtual(&Log:: ISinkRealizer::AddEntry)) .def("ShallLog", boost::python::pure_virtual(&Log:: ISinkRealizer::ShallLog)); boost::python::class_<Log::FileSink, boost::shared_ptr<Log:: FileSink>, boost::python::bases<Log::ISink>, boost::noncopyable> ("FileSink", boost::python::init<const std::string&>()) .def("AddDomain", &Log::FileSink::AddDomain): When I create a python instance from the FileSink and I pass it to the constructor of another class inside the same module then it works fine. >>> import DiagnsoticsPy >>> logFile = DiagnsoticsPy.FileSink("system.log"); >>> logFile.AddDomain("Sensor.SensorController", DiagnsoticsPy.Severity.VerboseAndAbove); >>> logFile.AddDomain("Python.DI", DiagnsoticsPy.Severity.VerboseAndAbove); >>> logSource = DiagnsoticsPy.Source("Python.DI", logFile) boost::python::class_<Log::Source, boost::shared_ptr<Log::Source >>("Source", boost::python::init<const std::string&>()) .def(boost::python::init<const std::string&, boost:: shared_ptr<Log::ISink>>()); class DIAGNOSTICS_API Source { public: Source(const std::string& name, boost::shared_ptr<Log:: ISink> sink); }; However when I want to pass the same "logFile" instance to a method which is defined in another python module then the conversion between python and C++ fails. boost::python::class_<Sensor::SensorController, boost::shared_ptr <Sensor::SensorController>, boost::noncopyable>("SensorController", boost::python::init<boost::shared_ptr<Log::ISink>>()); class SENSORCONTROL_API SensorController : public boost:: enable_shared_from_this<SensorController> { public: explicit SensorController(boost::shared_ptr<Log::ISink> logSink); }; >>> import SensorControlPy >>> sensorController = SensorControlPy.SensorController(logFile); Python argument types in SensorController.__init__(SensorController, FileSink) did not match C++ signature: __init__(struct _object * __ptr64, class boost::shared_ptr<class Log::ISink>) If I put the all the Python bindings (also the SensorController) into the same python module then the call to the SensorController constructor works.

[Random] Change in normal_distribution behavior between Boost 1.49 and Boost 1.56
by Jonathan Jones 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

Hi folks, Given the same set of inputs, this program is producing different answers in Boost 1.56 as compared to Boost 1.49: #include <boost/random/mersenne_twister.hpp> #include <boost/random/normal_distribution.hpp> int main() { boost::normal_distribution<double> dist(0.0, 1.0); boost::mt19937 gen(0); for (int ii=1; ii <= 5; ++ii) { printf("%2d) %g\n", ii, dist(gen)); } } I've isolated this to a change in the implementation of normal_distribution between these two versions (mt19937 is producing the same sequence of numbers with the same starting seed). My question is, is there any guarantee that this distribution is going to produce the same answers across different versions of Boost, given the same starting seed (zero in this case)? Thanks, Jon

C# application crashes due exception in exception_ptr.hpp
by Markus Pieper 15 Jun '15

15 Jun '15

Hi there, I´m new to boost so this might be a silly question. We have a simulation that is written in C++ and compiled as a static lib. It uses a few boost (v1.56) functions like thread. My job is to create a WPF GUI, that uses this lib. For that, I created a C++ CLR DLL which interacts as a wrapper between .NET GUI and the unmanaged libs. Everything works fine but closing my program results in a crash. This crash is described here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8144630/mixed-mode-c- cli-dll-throws-exception-on-exit And someone replied, that the reason for this lies in the exception_ptr.hpp beacause a "static exception_ptr ep" is being used instead of "exception_ptr ep". When I delete the static attribute, my program ends normally without the crash. My understanding of C++ is not that big, so I can´t say why it crashes here. But the boost programmers have a reason to do so. I also followed These advices (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.user/44515) but with no further luck. Best regards, Markus

How do I use the output of -showme:link and -showme:compile to customize my boost mpi build?
by Cook, Rich 13 Jun '15

13 Jun '15

Hello, Apologies if this is redundant. I have not heard back so I thought I would try to restate my question more clearly in case it was overlooked. Hopefully I don't seem impatient, but I have a customer waiting on me and I'm not sure if I can help them. In an earlier thread, titled "Cannot build boost with MPI using Intel openMPI wrapper", Alain Miniussi suggested I execute the following commands: $/usr/local/tools/openmpi-intel-debug-1.8.4/bin/mpicxx --showme:compile $/usr/local/tools/openmpi-intel-debug-1.8.4/bin/mpicxx --showme:link I have done so and they appear to give me sane output: rcook@rzgpu2 (~ ): /usr/local/tools/openmpi-intel-debug-1.8.4/bin/mpicxx --showme:compile -I/usr/local/tools/openmpi-intel-debug-1.8.4/include/openmpi/opal/mca/hwloc/hwloc191/hwloc/include -I/usr/local/tools/openmpi-intel-debug-1.8.4/include/openmpi/opal/mca/event/libevent2021/libevent -I/usr/local/tools/openmpi-intel-debug-1.8.4/include/openmpi/opal/mca/event/libevent2021/libevent/include -I/usr/local/tools/openmpi-intel-debug-1.8.4/include -I/usr/local/tools/openmpi-intel-debug-1.8.4/include/openmpi -pthread My question is now, how do I use this output to configure boost to properly build using my Intel MPI wrappers? Currently, I'm seeing this in my output: ==============MPI Auto-configuration=============== MPI auto-detection failed: unknown wrapper compiler /usr/local/tools/openmpi-intel-debug-1.8.4/bin/mpiCC Please report this error to the Boost mailing list: http://www.boost.org<http://www.boost.org/> You will need to manually configure MPI support.

future: unreferenced formal parameter 'lk'
by forumer＠smartmobili.com 13 Jun '15

13 Jun '15

Hello, I am using boost 1.58 and when I compile my project I have this annoying warning: Warning 4 warning C4100: 'lk' : unreferenced formal parameter C:\proj\boost\include\boost\thread\future.hpp When I look at source code I can see that lk is not used: future_state::state get_state(boost::unique_lock<boost::mutex>& lk) const { if(!done) { return future_state::waiting; } else { return future_state::ready; } } It would be great to fix it for the next release. Thanks

Interprocess support for Pipe
by Lloyd 12 Jun '15

Hi, Does boost interprocess support "pipe" like operations. That is if process A writes something and when process B reads it, the memory content should be reset. If I use shared memory, it complicates things. Thanks, Lloyd

Boost Random Numbers: Normal Distribution
by Hadidi, Lars 11 Jun '15

11 Jun '15

Hello, I tried to find out which method is used by the boost library to transform random numbers from a random number engine to the Gaussian Distribution. There are the Box-Muller-Method, Marsaglia's Polar Method and Ziggurat's algorithm out there, but i could not determine which of those is actually used by boost::normal_distribution<double>? I'd like to know which method is employed here. Thanks for reply in advance, sincerely, Lars

Modify an asio echo server so that it does not send message back to client
by Nicholas Yue 11 Jun '15

11 Jun '15

Hi, I am writing a simple server that is listening to binary data bucket being sent by a client. I am basing the prototype server on the following: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/doc/html/boost_asio/example/cpp03/echo… I am wonder what is the correct way to modify the example so that it does not echo the result back to the client. The amount of binary data sent are substantial, more importantly, the client has no way to handle the incoming data on the socket.

eval_if fails - problem for C++ guru
by Robert Ramey 07 Jun '15

07 Jun '15

I've been having a very difficult time with a problem illustrated by the following program: It looks like the eval_if in line 51 isn't working correctly. That is, the metafuction get_promotion_policy is being invoked when both types are not safe types. I've been working on this for two days and can't see what's going on. Any help from a TMP genious would be much appreciated. #include <type_traits> #include <boost/mpl/and.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/or.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/if.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/eval_if.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/identity.hpp> struct safe_tag {}; template<class T, class P = void> struct safe : public safe_tag { T m_t; typedef P PromotionPolicy; }; template<class T> struct is_safe : public //std::is_arithmetic<T> std::is_base_of<safe_tag, T> {}; template<class T, class U> struct common_policies { static_assert( boost::mpl::or_< is_safe<T>, is_safe<U> >::value, "at least one type must be a safe type" ); template<typename Z> struct get_promotion_policy { static_assert( is_safe<Z>::value, "only safe types have promotion policies" ); typedef typename Z::PromotionPolicy type; }; // if both types are safe, the policies have to be the same! static_assert( boost::mpl::eval_if< boost::mpl::and_< is_safe<T>, is_safe<U> >, typename std::is_same< typename get_promotion_policy<T>::type, typename get_promotion_policy<U>::type >::type, boost::mpl::identity<boost::mpl::true_> >::type::value, "if both types are safe, the policies have to be the same!" ); // now we've verified that there is no conflict between policies // return the one from the first safe type typedef typename boost::mpl::if_< is_safe<T>, T, typename boost::mpl::if_< is_safe<U>, U, // boost::mpl::void_ >::type >::type safe_type; typedef typename get_promotion_policy<safe_type>::type promotion_policy; }; common_policies<int, safe<int> > t; int main(){ return 0; }

Experts, I am using boost::tuple as key in std::map. I would like to write my own comparison method (considering tolerance in comparison) The default comparison defined in tuple_comparison.hpp is of no use to me. Any help in this is highly appreciated. Regards, UJ

[Log] Failed to compile applications with Boost.Log
by lin li 05 Jun '15

05 Jun '15

Hi, guys. I am trying to to compile the tutorial code from Boost.Log with the trivial logger. But it fails with the error: "‘boost::log::v2s_mt_posix::trivial::boost’ has not been declared" OS: OracleLinux 6.6 G++: 4.4.7 Boost: 1.57 I have googled a lot about it, but it seems that all answers are related to some linking error, but this one is different. It seems that it does not even find the declaration in the first place. Anyone has similar experience?

Re: [Boost-users] Serialization] Non-default constructor and static data members
by Mccall, Kurt E. (JSC-EG411) 04 Jun '15

Robert, thanks for the reply -- I won't attempt to serialize the static const members. Also, it looks like if the members is static but not const and defined outside of the class, the linker finds it just fine, when it is referenced in save_construct_data().

[Serialization] Non-default constructor and static data members
by Mccall, Kurt E. (JSC-EG411) 04 Jun '15

04 Jun '15

I'm trying to serialize a class with a non-default constructor and static const data members, so I have to override boost::serialization::save_construct_data() and load_construct_data(). I am getting a linking error:the static members referred to in save_construct_data() cannot be found ("undefined reference"). #include <boost/archive/tmpdir.hpp> #include <boost/archive/xml_iarchive.hpp> #include <boost/archive/xml_oarchive.hpp> // forward declarations class A; namespace boost { namespace serialization { template<class Archive> inline void save_construct_data(Archive &ar, const A *t, const unsigned int file_version); } } class A { friend class boost::serialization::access; // friend function (omitting load_construct_data() for brevity) template<class Archive> friend void save_construct_data(Archive &ar, const A *t, const unsigned int file_version); public: static const int var1 = 1; static const int var2 = 2; template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int file_version) { // do nothing }; } // overridden Boost function namespace boost { namespace serialization { template<class Archive> inline void save_construct_data( Archive &ar, const A *t, const unsigned int file_version) { // link errors happen at both of these two lines ("undefined reference" of var1, var2). ar << boost::serialization::make_nvp("var1", ::A::var1); ar << boost::serialization::make_nvp("var2", t->var2); }; }} // namespace… This puzzles me since I thought that static members have external linkage. This question seems to be more about namespaces than it is about Boost::Serialization, but I post here because some Serialization user must have run into it. Thanks, Kurt

boost multi_index_container with composite_key iterator
by Uthpal Urubail 04 Jun '15

04 Jun '15

Experts, Is there a better approach to iterator over boost multiindex composite key? The issue with the below approach is, the same key is appearing multiple times. typedef multi_index_container loadTable_Def; loadTable_Def pb; //! for(loadTable_Def::iterator i=pb.begin(),i_end=pb.end();i!=i_end; ) { // Get the range of the current key loadTable_Def::iterator iter_next=pb.upper_bound(pb.key_extractor()(*i)); do { loadTable_Def::iterator it1,it2; boost::tie(it1,it2) = pb.equal_range(boost::make_tuple(<passing multiple key >)); while(it1 != it2) { //std::cout<<"print values"<<" ,"; ++it1; } } while(++i!=iter_next); } Regards, UJ

threads and async questions and asnwers
by Victor Yankee 03 Jun '15

03 Jun '15

Hello List, I have a thread with a class and its method that raises a "question" signal and needs to wait with a timeout for an "answer" signal. There are several worker threads, some of which may be connected to the question signal. The answer signal will be raised by a worker thread only if it knows the answer; it is possible that no worker thread knows the answer so no answer signal will be raised (hence need for timeout). The question thread cannot know which worker thread to ask. What is a good way to achieve this using boost 1.58 and/or C++11? I am using g++ 4.9 on 64bit ubuntu 14.04. Thanks, Vic

[Test]
by Merrill Cornish 02 Jun '15

02 Jun '15

I'm get a SIGEGV segmentation fault /only/ when trying to register a test manually. Everything works just fine if I use auto registration. All compiles and links in both cases are without error. I know almost nothing about using gdb, but I was able to see the segment violation message shown below. I'm running Boost 1.58.0; Windows 7.1 64-bit; MinGW 4.9.2 64-bit; Eclipse Luna; CDT 8.6.0 In my TestMain.cpp #define BOOST_TEST_ALTERNATIVE_INIT_API #define BOOST_TEST_NO_MAIN #include "boost/test/unit_test.hpp" extern void Operand_Default_Constructor_Test(); bool init_unit_test() { framework::master_test_suite().p_name.value = "DiGSE Master Test"; framework::master_test_suite().add(BOOST_TEST_CASE(&Operand_Default_Constructor_Test)); return true; } int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { return boost::unit_test::unit_test_main(&init_unit_test, argc, argv); } It compiles and links without error. However, executing it gives this SIGEGV fault: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x000000006b405a12 in boost::unit_test::framework::get (id=1, t=boost::unit_test::tut_suite) at ./boost/test/impl/framework.ipp:388 388 if( (res->p_type & t) == 0 ) The failing snippet is part of a test that would throw internal_error(), but the if test itself seems to fail. if( (res->p_type & t) == 0 ) throw internal_error( "Invalid test unit type" ); If the Operand_Default_Constructor_Test test is changed from void Operand_Default_Constructor_Test() to BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(Operand_Default_Constructor_Test) and the contents of init_unit_test() are removed, it works just fine with automatic registration. And the automatic registration is certainly the easiest way; but I was holding out hope for being able to specify test ordering. Merrill Cornish

boost::posix_time::time_period and boost::serialization
by Lakin Wecker 01 Jun '15

01 Jun '15

I'm having some issues getting the following example to compile in g++4.9, or clang 3.6, using boost 1.58.0 I'm not quite experienced enough with boost or c++ to be certain, but it appears that the vector serialization is done in such a way that it doesn't pick up the load_construct_data for time_period from boost/date_time/posix_time/time_serialize.hpp Is the fix simply to do my own vector serialization a situation like this?

[Boost Test] BOOST_TEST_ALTERNATIVE_INIT_API
by Merrill Cornish 01 Jun '15

01 Jun '15

I am using Boost 1.58.0. After I downloaded it, I did a full default build with build_type=complete. So, Boost Test was built without any special command line arguments. The minimal tests I have so far work. I have defined BOOST_TEST_ALTERNATIVE_INIT_API <http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_57_0/libs/test/doc/html/utf/compilation.htm…> in my main program, so my initialization function (currently empty) is bool init_function(). However, I noticed something in the documentation that said if you do define BOOST_TEST_ALTERNATIVE_INIT_API <http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_57_0/libs/test/doc/html/utf/compilation.htm…> in your main(), you also have to define it when you build the library. But my test code seems to be working without the special build. Does 1.58.0, perhaps, not need the command line definition. Or, am I kidding myself that everything is all right, and the Roadrunner is going to drop an anvil on my head at a later date? Merrill Cornish

{Boost-Test] How to specify order test suites are run.
by Merrill Cornish 01 Jun '15

01 Jun '15

I'm running Boost 1_58_0 on Windows 7.1, 64-bit, with MinGW 4.9.2, 64-bit. I've just started writing tests for my project and have one test suite working. I'm using BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE and BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE. There will be many more test suites to come. They are not LOGICALLY dependent on each other, but if some fail, the other tests will be a waste of time. Therefore, I would like to be able to specify the order in which they are run. Is there a way to do that, or does choosing BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE take it all out of my hands? Merrill Cornish

[Interprocess] Can I use google sparsehash?
by Malko 31 May '15

31 May '15

Hi, I thought I would find this question already answered on the internet or in previous posts in the mailing list, but my research is fruitless. Hence, since I am not proficient in the way of allocators, I will ask directly: is it possible to use google sparsehash with Boost.Interprocess? According to the info I found sparsehash can be faster than boost::unordered_map, and I could really use the additional speed. Thanks for the help! -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/Interprocess-Can-I-use-google-sparsehash… Sent from the Boost - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Dear all, I have a CMake project that requires some header-only boost libraries: - container, dynamic_bitset, math, units I would like CMake to always fetch automatically the latest version of these libraries and their dependencies from github as an external project. AFAIK FindBoost doesn't do this, is there maybe a different cmake script that does? Best regards, Gonzalo

No "new" operator etc. Since there is no "new" and all is static, I cannot use the runtime, to specialize my transitions. So instead, I have to use templates! Unfortunately I'm not a template master, and the compiler is giving me an error. Here's what I'm trying: template <typename EventT> struct Machine_ : public msm::front::state_machine_def<Machine_<EventT> > { // ... struct transition_table : mpl::vector< g_row<StateInitial, EventT, StateEven, &Machine_<EventT>::guardToEven>, g_row<StateInitial, EventT, StateOdd, &Machine_<EventT>::guardToOdd>, g_row<StateInitial, EventT, StateFloat, &Machine_<EventT>::guardToFloat>, g_row<StateEven, EventT, StateEven, &Machine_<EventT>::guardToEven>, g_row<StateEven, EventT, StateOdd, &Machine_<EventT>::guardToOdd>, g_row<StateEven, EventT, StateFloat, &Machine_<EventT>::guardToFloat>, g_row<StateOdd, EventT, StateEven, &Machine_<EventT>::guardToEven>, g_row<StateOdd, EventT, StateOdd, &Machine_<EventT>::guardToOdd>, g_row<StateOdd, EventT, StateFloat, &Machine_<EventT>::guardToFloat>, g_row<StateFloat, EventT, StateEven, &Machine_<EventT>::guardToEven>, g_row<StateFloat, EventT, StateOdd, &Machine_<EventT>::guardToOdd>, g_row<StateFloat, EventT, StateFloat, &Machine_<EventT>::guardToFloat> >{}; // ... } Unfortunately gcc gives this error: d.cpp:119:5: error: ‘g_row’ was not declared in this scope g_row<StateInitial, EventT, StateEven, &Machine_<EventT>::guardToEven>, etc. Can somebody help in this regard? Thanks. nicesw123 In case you're interested. Here's the code of the complete example that I'm trying to get working: #include <iostream> #include <boost/msm/front/state_machine_def.hpp> #include <boost/msm/back/state_machine.hpp> namespace msm = boost::msm; namespace mpl = boost::mpl; // events struct EventNumber1 { // int number!

EventNumber2(double num_) : num{num_} {} double getNum() const { return num; } private: double num; }; typedef EventNumber2 MyEvent; // using doubles // StateBase -- a base (parent) state struct StateBase : public msm::front::state<> { StateBase(const std::string& stateName = "") : stateName{stateName} {} template <typename Event, typename FSM> void on_entry(const Event&, FSM&) { std::cout << "Entering " << stateName << std::endl; } template <typename Event, typename FSM> void on_exit(const Event&, FSM&) { std::cout << "Leaving " << stateName << std::endl; } private: std::string stateName; }; #if 0 // not used (just an idea) template <typename T> struct StateMachineFront_Base : public msm::front::state_machine_def<StateMachineFront_Base<T>> { StateMachineFront_Base(const std::string& stateMachineName = "") : stateMachineName{stateMachineName} {} template <typename Event, typename FSM> void on_entry(const Event&, FSM&) { std::cout << "Entering " << stateMachineName << std::endl; } template <typename Event, typename FSM> void on_exit(const Event&, FSM&) { std::cout << "Leaving " << stateMachineName << std::endl; } private: std::string stateMachineName; }; #endif template <typename EventT> struct Machine_ : public msm::front::state_machine_def<Machine_<EventT> > { Machine_(const std::string& stateMachineName = "Machine_") : stateMachineName{stateMachineName} {} template <typename Event, typename FSM> void on_entry(const Event&, FSM&) { std::cout << "Entering " << stateMachineName << std::endl; } template <typename Event, typename FSM> void on_exit(const Event&, FSM&) { std::cout << "Leaving " << stateMachineName << std::endl; } // states struct StateInitial : public StateBase { StateInitial(const std::string name = "StateInitial") : StateBase{name} {} }; struct StateEven : public StateBase { StateEven(const std::string name = "StateEven") : StateBase{name} {} }; struct StateOdd : public StateBase { StateOdd(const std::string name = "StateOdd") : StateBase{name} {} }; struct StateFloat : public StateBase { StateFloat(const std::string name = "StateFloat") : StateBase{name} {} }; // guards bool guardToEven(const EventT& num) { const long long x = static_cast<long long>(num.getNum()); return ((x == num.getNum()) // is Integral type && ((x % 2) == 0)); } bool guardToOdd(const EventT& num) { const long long x = static_cast<long long>(num.getNum()); return ((x == num.getNum()) // is Integral type && ((x % 2) != 0)); } bool guardToFloat(const EventT& num) { const long long x = static_cast<long long>(num.getNum()); return (x != num.getNum()); // is Floating type } typedef StateInitial initial_state; struct transition_table : mpl::vector< g_row<StateInitial, EventT, StateEven, &Machine_<EventT>::guardToEven>, g_row<StateInitial, EventT, StateOdd, &Machine_<EventT>::guardToOdd>, g_row<StateInitial, EventT, StateFloat, &Machine_<EventT>::guardToFloat>, g_row<StateEven, EventT, StateEven, &Machine_<EventT>::guardToEven>, g_row<StateEven, EventT, StateOdd, &Machine_<EventT>::guardToOdd>, g_row<StateEven, EventT, StateFloat, &Machine_<EventT>::guardToFloat>, g_row<StateOdd, EventT, StateEven, &Machine_<EventT>::guardToEven>, g_row<StateOdd, EventT, StateOdd, &Machine_<EventT>::guardToOdd>, g_row<StateOdd, EventT, StateFloat, &Machine_<EventT>::guardToFloat>, g_row<StateFloat, EventT, StateEven, &Machine_<EventT>::guardToEven>, g_row<StateFloat, EventT, StateOdd, &Machine_<EventT>::guardToOdd>, g_row<StateFloat, EventT, StateFloat, &Machine_<EventT>::guardToFloat> >{}; private: std::string stateMachineName; }; typedef msm::back::state_machine<Machine_<MyEvent>> Machine; template <typename T> void postEvents(Machine& machine) { for (T i; std::cin >> i; ) { machine.process_event(MyEvent{i}); } } int main() { Machine machine; machine.start(); postEvents<double>(machine); machine.stop(); return 0; }
