[boost-users][tuple] Tuple::get<0> as std::mem_fun_ref
by Miklós Tóth 30 Aug '13

30 Aug '13

Hi! I have a problem with std::mem_fun_ref and boost::tuple. Here is my code: I have small LevelSetter class. It makes a level vector indexed by a transform_iterator value. template <typename LevelType> class LevelSetter { private: int nmb_of_elements; public: LevelSetter(int nmb_of_elements_) : nmb_of_elements(nmb_of_elements_) {} template <typename TrRange> std::vector<LevelType> set(TrRange range) { typedef typename TrRange::first_type TrIter; std::vector<LevelType> levels(nmb_of_elements); for (TrIter it = range.first; it != range.second; ++it) { levels[*it] = 0.0; } // much more complicated code return levels; } }; Let's call it: class MemFunRefTest { private: typedef float Scalar; typedef boost::tuple<int, Scalar> Tuple; typedef std::vector<Tuple> Fwd; typedef Fwd::iterator FwdIter; typedef std::pair<FwdIter, FwdIter> FwdRange; Fwd elements; public: MemFunRefTest() { elements.push_back(Tuple(0, 400.0)); elements.push_back(Tuple(1, 120.0)); elements.push_back(Tuple(2, 150.0)); } void fun() { FwdRange element_range = std::make_pair(elements.begin(), elements.end()); LevelSetter<Scalar> setter(elements.size()); setter.set(std::make_pair( boost::make_transform_iterator( element_range.first, std::mem_fun_ref(&Tuple::get<0>) ), boost::make_transform_iterator( element_range.second, std::mem_fun_ref(&Tuple::get<0>) ) ) ); } }; When I try to compile i get: error: call of overloaded 'mem_fun_ref(<unresolved overloaded function type>)' is ambiguous candidates are: c:\mingw-4.6\bin\..\lib\gcc\i686-pc-mingw32\4.6.1\..\..\..\..\include\c++\4.6.1\bits\stl_function.h:697: std::mem_fun_ref_t<_Ret, _Tp> std::mem_fun_ref(_Ret (_Tp::*)()) [with _Ret = int&, _Tp = boost::tuples::cons<int, boost::tuples::cons<float, boost::tuples::null_type> >] c:\mingw-4.6\bin\..\lib\gcc\i686-pc-mingw32\4.6.1\..\..\..\..\include\c++\4.6.1\bits\stl_function.h:702: std::const_mem_fun_ref_t<_Ret, _Tp> std::mem_fun_ref(_Ret (_Tp::*)()const) [with _Ret = const int&, _Tp = boost::tuples::cons<int, boost::tuples::cons<float, boost::tuples::null_type> >] What am I missing?

CUDA and Boost
by Víctor Felipe 29 Aug '13

29 Aug '13

Hey guys! I have been using Boost inside a Visual C++ CUDA project. I'm using "regex.hpp" inside a ".cu" file and it works fine including it this way: "#include < boost / regex.hpp >". Now, I need to use "abs.hpp", which I'm including this way: "#include < boost / ratio / detail / mpl / abs.hpp >" and it fails while compiling. I'm using Windows 8 64-bits, Visual Studio 2012, Boost 1.53.0 and CUDA 5.5. I get this error only by putting this in my code: "#include < boost / ratio / detail / mpl / abs.hpp >" without using more instructions related with Boost. I have several ".cpp" and ".cu" files in my project. If I put that include in a ".cpp" file, it compiles fine. If I put that include in a ".cu", this error appear: 1>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\include\boost/ratio/detail/mpl/abs.hpp(68): error C2675: unary '-' : 'T' does not define this operator or a conversion to a type acceptable to the predefined operator Thanks for any help you can provide and sorry for my English, it's not my native language!

boost asio with scatter gather list and udp ....
by jean-luc malet 29 Aug '13

29 Aug '13

Hi! I'm new to boost, so I don't understand everything, be kind please ;) I'm working on a piece of code that use boost::asio with a ba::ip::udp::socket the code is sending data using 2 buffers stored in a boost::array my work is to write the receiver and my question is : how many udp packets will be sent? 1? 2? if multiple packets are sent, how does boost::asio will re-order them on reception? if one packet is sent, and if on reception I use another scatter gather list as above (but with mutable buffers) how does boost know the size of the 2 buffers? thanks and regards MALET Jean-Luc >

[posix_time] ARM clock scaling issue
by Michael Powell 28 Aug '13

28 Aug '13

Hello, I am using the posix_time ptime interface to gauge clock times, universal time (Utc), and do date/time math, subtracting for durations type thing. What I am finding is that the accuracy seems to be fast. By how much I don't know, whether that's by a factor of what, or what not, I do not know. We are encountering this on an ARM platform. Has anyone else experience this? If so what can we do to workaround it? Assuming we stick with the Boost API to comprehend date/time, duration, our stopwatch abstraction, elapsed-timer, and so on. Thank you... Regards, Michael Powell

Meta State Machine, wayward transition
by Archie Campbell 28 Aug '13

28 Aug '13

Hello, I have a simple state machine, that uses only standard rows and no internal transitions, to which I am sending events that are clearly in the transition table for the state that the machine is in, yet the no_transition handler is running for this particular event. I have not yet been able to discover any reasons for a compiling transition table to fail to process an event that is listed in the row against the source state. Have I missed something fundamental? Regards, Archie

Interoperability of multiple boost versions.
by Wilfried Kirschenmann 26 Aug '13

26 Aug '13

Hi all, I'm currently working on a large software project having an unchangeable dependency on boost 1.33, but I would like to use functionality from a more up-to-date version of the library (say 1.54). Can it be done? If so, how ? One of the things we aim to achieve is use the std::hash and unoredered_map from boost 1.54, while also using othe containers from boost 1.33. Since boost if mostly header only and template-based, using an intermediary interface doesn't work well. Any ideas ? Are we better off using another library instead of boost to avoid conflicts ? Help appreciated, thanks. Kind regards, Wilfried K. ----- Cordialement, Wilfried Kirschenmann "Ma femme, si elle croit que je vis, croit que je marche. Les camarades croient que je marche.

[geometry] problems with the ring concept
by Lepere Renaud 25 Aug '13

25 Aug '13

I have an existing geometric structure, and i try to make it usable with boost geometry. I read the documentation for a similar problem but i did not successhttp://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/libs/geometry/doc/html/geometry… My Ring structure is very simple : typedef std::vector< Point > Points; struct Ring { Points points; }; void f() { boost::geometry::concept::check< Geom::Ring >(); } show failure since apparently my range does not support a clear() method correctly. however i think i implemented correctly the range adaption namespace boost/geometry/traints template<> struct tag< Geom::Ring > { typedef ring_tag type; }; namespace Geom inline Geom::Points::iterator range_begin(Ring & ring) { return ring.points.begin(); } inline Geom::Points::iterator range_end(Ring & ring) { return ring.points.end(); } inline Geom::Points::const_iterator range_begin(const Ring & ring) { return ring.points.begin(); } inline Geom::Points::const_iterator range_end(const Ring & ring) { return ring.points.end(); } and in namespace boost template <> struct range_mutable_iterator< Geom::Ring > { typedef Geom::Points::iterator type; }; // i tried also with range_iterator template<> struct range_const_iterator< Geom::Ring > { typedef Geom::Points::const_iterator type; }; I am a bit lost. Did i missed something obvious ? Thanks, Renaud

[logging] operator<< not called if logger initialized by init_from_settings()
by Eric Prud'hommeaux 25 Aug '13

25 Aug '13

Following the standard recipe for a severity logger, I failed to get a logger configured by parsing a settings file to property invoke the operator<< for the severity. I tested by creating two logs, one by parsing and one by explicit construction (attached). Below, the former (starting with "parse: ") does not call the operator<< while the latter (staring with (const: ") does: [[ parse: : <> normal 1 severity_enum.cpp:25: operator<<(0x164dce0, 0) const: : <normal> normal 1 parse: : <> criticial 2 severity_enum.cpp:25: operator<<(0x164dce0, 1) const: : <critical> criticial 2 ]] It also doesn't matter whether the explicitly constructed logger is before the parsed logger: [[ severity_enum.cpp:25: operator<<(0x20b5d40, 0) const: : <normal> normal 1 parse: : <> normal 1 severity_enum.cpp:25: operator<<(0x20b5d40, 1) const: : <critical> criticial 2 parse: : <> criticial 2 ]] I've also tested this with a severity_channel logger with the same result. typedef unsigned int severity_level; (and some #defines) shows that the specialized operator<<(..., severity_level) isn't called at all, but at least the std:: one prints integers: [[ parse: : <0> normal 1 const: : <0> normal 1 parse: : <1> criticial 2 const: : <1> criticial 2 ]] I haven't worked out how to construct a settings object directly (as opposed to using the setting parser). I guess that's the next test. -- -ericP

Installing (in the b2 sense) boost under windows
by Chris Stankevitz 24 Aug '13

24 Aug '13

Hello, I was recently tasked with installing boost binaries under windows. I used this command: C:\boost_1_49_0>b2 --build-dir=\boost-build toolset=gcc --build-type=complete stage --prefix=c:\boost-prefix\ install I was expecting the directory c:\boost-prefix to contain boost header and library files; however, that directory contained no files whatsoever. Did I do something wrong? PS: The c:\boost-build directory was filled with intermediate build files. Thank you, Chris

[asio] Infinite loops
by Michael Chisholm 24 Aug '13

24 Aug '13

I have found that when (ab)using asio in a particular way, it causes a hang in my app, which I think is caused by an infinite loop in asio. I'll state up front that the usage is pretty underhanded, so I may not get much sympathy here :) But it also seems reasonable to not hang. The hang happens only on the two linux platforms I tested, which were centos 5.9 and 6.4. I built it on win7 and mingw 4.6.3 (with slight code changes), and it doesn't hang. The simplified test app demonstrating the hang is pasted at the bottom of this email. I basically just wanted an API to smooth over platform network API differences and also give me a nice iostream class backed by a socket. So there's none of the fancy proactor stuff. There is a need to "reset" the app after socket connections have been established, and one thread is blocked on a socket read. So I needed a way to unblock the thread. Closing the socket seemed like a reasonable way to do it, but I found that simply calling a close() method from a different thread doesn't work; it causes race conditions and crashes, since asio classes seem not to be thread-safe. So I got more devious, and decided to just grab the raw handle and call close() directly on it. That's the underhanded part. I thought asio would figure out that the socket's no longer valid, and propagate an error up to the caller, thus unblocking the thread. But it doesn't, the thread just stays blocked. After doing some gdb tracing, it looked to me like asio is repeatedly polling the socket with epoll/select (I tried the latter by defining BOOST_ASIO_DISABLE_EPOLL) and a timeout, and never breaking out of its loop even though the socket is no longer valid. So, does it seem reasonable for asio to break out of its polling loop when someone (underhandedly) closes the socket out from under it? :) Andy #include <cstdio> #include <boost/system/error_code.hpp> #include <boost/chrono.hpp> #include <boost/thread.hpp> #include <boost/asio.hpp> using namespace std; namespace bs = boost::system; namespace bc = boost::chrono; namespace ip = boost::asio::ip; boost::asio::io_service iosvc; ip::tcp::socket clientSocket(iosvc); ip::tcp::iostream serverStream; #define TEST_PORT 2000 void connectToServer() { bs::error_code ec; clientSocket.connect( ip::tcp::endpoint(ip::address_v4::loopback(), TEST_PORT), ec); if (ec) cout << "Client couldn't connect: " << ec.message() << endl; else cout << "Client connected!" << endl; } void waitForClient() { ip::tcp::acceptor acceptor(iosvc, ip::tcp::endpoint(ip::address_v4::loopback(), TEST_PORT)); bs::error_code ec; acceptor.accept(*serverStream.rdbuf(), ec); if (ec) cout << "Server couldn't accept: " << ec.message() << endl; else cout << "Server accepted!" << endl; } void serverReadAByte() { int b = serverStream.get(); if (serverStream) cout << "Got byte: " << b << endl; else cout << "Error reading byte: " << serverStream.error().message() << endl; } int main(int, const char **) { boost::thread serverThread(waitForClient); // wait a second for the server socket to open... boost::this_thread::sleep_for(bc::seconds(1)); connectToServer(); serverThread.join(); int sd = serverStream.rdbuf()->native_handle(); // this will block, since we won't write anything // to the client socket. boost::thread readThread(serverReadAByte); // wait a second for the socket read to block... boost::this_thread::sleep_for(bc::seconds(1)); // close the server socket out from under our stream! // Does readThread unblock? if (close(sd) == -1) { perror("close"); return 1; } cout << "Waiting for read thread..." << endl; readThread.join(); clientSocket.close(); serverStream.close(); return 0; }

[units] "Simple" conversion from Kelvin to Celsius
by Michael Powell 22 Aug '13

22 Aug '13

Hello, It's been a couple of years since I've done any work with Boost.Units, and I am finding that I want to make a dimensionally-safe conversion from Kelvin to Celsius. I've got an I2C controller that reports in Kelvin, but I want to report it to the end-user in Celsius. The examples I am finding seem to "almost" fit the bill, but I am having a difficult time extrapolating a sane conversion. First, would help if I understood what the Boost.Units SI (my assumed base-system) base-temperature units were. I gather Fahrenheit? Or is it indeed Kelvin? I could be mistaken. Thank you...

Trouble building 1.5.4 on OS X 10.6
by Jo Meder 22 Aug '13

22 Aug '13

Hi, I'm having trouble building 1.5.4 on OS X 10.6 for Intel only Universal builds (32 and 64 bit). This is my command line for b2: ./b2 macosx-version=10.6 macosx-version-min=10.6 threading=multi architecture=x86 address-model=32_64 I've also tried a simpler command line just specifying the architecture and address model, same results. Originally I was having trouble building all the libraries, in particular the thread lib wasn't building. Now mysteriously it is. However the libraries are being built with the ppc and ppc64 architectures as well as i386 and x86_64, which doesn't seem right given the options I'm specifying. You can see the unwanted archs in the build lines too, for example: "g++-4.0" -ftemplate-depth-128 -arch x86_64 -arch i386 -arch ppc64 -arch ppc -O3 -finline-functions -Wno-inline -Wall -gdwarf-2 -fexceptions -Wno-long-double -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk -mmacosx-version-min=10.6 -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1 -DNDEBUG -I"." -c -o "bin.v2/libs/context/build/darwin-4.0/release/address-model-32_64/architecture-x86/link-static/macosx-version-min-10.6/macosx-version-10.6/threading-multi/unsupported.o" "libs/context/src/unsupported.cpp" There are 4 arch flags near the start for x86_64, i386, ppc64 and ppc. There are also two more for x86_64 and i386 further on, which I assume are the ones the darwin.jam file has added based on my options passed to b2. I'm guessing these build lines are only being shown when there's a problem as there certainly isn't one for every file, but I assume they're representative. Now the libs seem to be building but I'm getting link errors from libboost_thread: Undefined symbols: "boost::thread_detail::enter_once_region(boost::once_flag&)", referenced from: boost::detail::set_current_thread_data(boost::detail::thread_data_base*)in libboost_thread.a(thread.o) boost::detail::get_current_thread_data() in libboost_thread.a(thread.o) _thread_proxy in libboost_thread.a(thread.o) _thread_proxy in libboost_thread.a(thread.o) boost::(anonymous namespace)::make_external_thread_data() in libboost_thread.a(thread.o) "boost::thread_detail::commit_once_region(boost::once_flag&)", referenced from: boost::detail::set_current_thread_data(boost::detail::thread_data_base*)in libboost_thread.a(thread.o) boost::detail::get_current_thread_data() in libboost_thread.a(thread.o) _thread_proxy in libboost_thread.a(thread.o) _thread_proxy in libboost_thread.a(thread.o) boost::(anonymous namespace)::make_external_thread_data() in libboost_thread.a(thread.o) "boost::thread_detail::rollback_once_region(boost::once_flag&)", referenced from: boost::detail::set_current_thread_data(boost::detail::thread_data_base*)in libboost_thread.a(thread.o) boost::detail::get_current_thread_data() in libboost_thread.a(thread.o) _thread_proxy in libboost_thread.a(thread.o) _thread_proxy in libboost_thread.a(thread.o) boost::(anonymous namespace)::make_external_thread_data() in libboost_thread.a(thread.o) ld: symbol(s) not found collect2: ld returned 1 exit status I saw there was a problem building the thread lib on OS X so I've added: #define BOOST_THREAD_DONT_USE_ATOMIC to boost/config/user.hpp. That seems related because in the headers that appears to control which file with the enter_once_region and so on functions gets included. If anyone has any insight I'd appreciate it. Regards, Jo Meder

I would like to store the current severity level in a temporary variable, upgrade it to a new level using "BOOST_LOG_SEV(logger::get(), boost::log::trivial::trace)" to write a trace-type message, and then downgrade the logger back to the previous setting by recalling "BOOST_LOG_SEV(logger::get(), temporaryVariable)" -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/log-Retrieving-the-current-trivial-sever… Sent from the Boost - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[thread] Can't compile once.cpp for ppc in 1.54
by James Walker 20 Aug '13

20 Aug '13

Attempting to build the 1.54.0 version of the thread library for ppc on Mac OS X 10.6.8, using Apple's GCC 4.0, I get this error: boost_1_54_0/boost/atomic/detail/gcc-ppc.hpp: In member function 'bool boost::atomics::detail::base_atomic<T, int, 4u, Sign>::compare_exchange_strong(T&, T, boost::memory_order, boost::memory_order) volatile [with T = unsigned int, bool Sign = false]': /Volumes/Home/Mercurial/boost_1_54_0/boost/atomic/detail/gcc-ppc.hpp:1190: error: impossible constraint in 'asm' If I use GCC 4.2, I don't get the error. But I'm hesitant to use that compiler, because it usually produces code that won't run on G3's. -- James W. Walker, Innoventive Software LLC <http://www.frameforge3d.com/>

[spirit] Parsing the following question

Hello, I would like to parse the following: "{0,0}" with the following constraints: rule<iterator> r %= '{' >> ( int_(0) | int_(1) | int_(2) )[phx::ref(m_mux) = _1] >> ',' >> ( int_(0x29) | int_(0x39) | int_(0x49) )[phx::ref(m_addr) = _1] >> '}'; So that m_mux is capturing either 0, 1, or 2, and m_addr is capturing either 29H, 39H, or 49H (in decimal).

[AFIO] AFIO Proposed Feature Voting Announcement
by Paul Kirth 19 Aug '13

19 Aug '13

Hello Boost-dev and Boost-users, I’m Paul Kirth, and I am the student working on the upcoming AFIO library this summer as part of GSoC. As of last week AFIO is fully ported to Boost and is now building cleanly on all of the last three major releases of the three most popular C++ compilers. Niall Douglas, my mentor for AFIO, has previously mentioned on the list that we would be asking for your feedback regarding which new features would be most beneficial to the Boost community. We would like to accommodate you all, but with GSoC being limited in time and ending in just one month’s time now, we’re going to limit the current additions to the top 3 most requested features. I plan to stay involved with AFIO for as long as I am able, so I’m sure many more of these features can be supported by AFIO in the future. I have set up a voting site on https://boostafio.uservoice.com to help with the voting. You may vote 10 times as you see fit, and you can give more (or all!) votes to those features you prefer the most. You may also add additional features not currently up for voting, so we encourage you to read the whole list of proposed additions before adding your own. Try to be descriptive with your feature request including a rationale, as not everyone involved with Boost may have the same expertise as you do. Including an example of how this feature would useful will help make a good case for your feature request, and help voters identify what is important. Finally, if you are not familiar with AFIO, we encourage you to take a look at our documentation at https://ci.nedprod.com/view/All/job/Boost.AFIO%20Build%20Documentation/Boos…. A link is also present on the voting site for your convenience. Additionally you will find our project on github at https://github.com/BoostGSoC/boost.afio, if you wish to dive into the source code for yourself. Voting is open right now, so please be sure to vote before the voting period ends on 8/23/13 at 11:59 PM GMT-8:00. We look forward to seeing which features are most important to the community, and hope to meet your expectations. Quick list of the features already proposed: Directory Monitoring Support Permissions and ACL Support Support for Boost Iostreams Improve Formal Closure Execution Engine Support Asynchronous Directory Enumeration Memory Mapped File Support Support for STL Iostreams Linux Kernel AIO Backend POSIX aio_* Asynchronous I/O Backend -- Paul Kirth (310) 709-2516

[math] Solving quadratic, cubic & quartic functions
by Fredrik Orderud 18 Aug '13

18 Aug '13

I've run into an eigenvalue problem where I need to compute the roots of a cubic polynomial. This is a straight-forward problem to solve analytically, but I want to avoid reinventing the wheel if possible. The boost::math doc mentions some root-finding functions, but they all seem to be iterative - which should not be neccesary in my case. Can anyone tell me if boost includes any functions for analytically computing the roots of quadratic, cubic and possibly quartic polynomials? Thanks in advance, Fredrik Orderud

framework for invoking func-ptrs with different argument numbers
by firespot 18 Aug '13

18 Aug '13

Hi, Consider the following task: Given a -) pointer to a function, and -) an iterator range with elements of type void *, the function-ptr shall be called with all the elements in the range as arguments. So conceptionally something like this: template <typename Func, typename Iter> void make_call(Func, Iter begin, Iter end) { int n = std::distance(begin, end); (*Func) (*(begin), *(begin + 1), *(begin + 2), ..., *(begin + n - 1)) } The interface (function declaration) here is +- what I want, the implementation shown of course is dummy-code not working. Does boost provide a more or less easy way to get this implementation smoothly done? C++ is 2003 version, so code must be compatible with e.g. VS 2008.. Note that I would know in principle a way how to do implement it myself, which involves the creation of a separate class for each number of arguments, but that's precisely what I want to avoid and I hope that wheel has already been invented in some boost-library :) thanks and regards, Thomas

Boost::MPI Enum Bug
by Barker, Daniel 16 Aug '13

16 Aug '13

Hi All, I am writing some software which is using boost::mpi. I think I have run into a slight bug (or at least a limitation) with the library. It is very similar to this question on S/O: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8127442/sending-complex-data-with-skelet… I am sending/receiving a class which has an enum member variable. Using normal send and receive was working fine but then I tried to use the skeleton/content mechanism and now my program failed with a segfault on calling `communicator::isend` with the content. While compiling, the compiler issued a warning about an uninitizialized variable: /home/dan/boost_1_54_0/boost/archive/detail/iserializer.hpp:539:9: warning: ‘i’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] I looked and noticed this was a function for handling enum values so I commented out the enum variable from my serialization member function and then the sending worked as expected. It looks like the same cause (using addresses of temporaries) as in the S/O question. If anyone is interested I have written a small example exhibiting this issue. I have a couple of questions regarding this: * Is it possible to get around this limitation/bug?^ * Is boost::mpi still being actively developed? I've found a few discussions about this but none really lead anywhere. Thanks, Dan ^ Perhaps it would be possible to write a custom serialize function for any enums but this would be a pain if one used many different enums.

Re: [Boost-users] Boost-users Digest, Vol 3537, Issue 1
by Rick Aurbach 15 Aug '13

15 Aug '13

Michael, It sounds to me like you're making this altogether too complicated. Don't focus on the software; focus on the science. The size of the "degree" unit is the same for Kelvin and Celsius. (I.e., if the temperature changes by 1 degree K, it changes by exactly 1 degree C.) The only this that is different between Kelvin and Celsius is the zero point. For Kelvin, 0 degrees is absolute zero and there are no negative values of temperature. (Well, that's not quite right, but you'll never encounter the exceptions.) For Celsius, 0 degrees is the freezing point of water at sea level. To convert between Kelvin and Celcius, just add or subtract a constant. That constant has a value of 273.15. That is, you can make a dimensionally-safe conversion from Kelvin to Celcius by subtracting 273.15. Converting from Celsius to Kelvin by adding 273.15. Cheers, Rick Aurbach Aurbach & Associates, Inc.

First, would help if I understood what the Boost.Units SI (my assumed base-system) base-temperature units were. I gather Fahrenheit? Or is it indeed Kelvin? I could be mistaken. Thank you...

[boost::log] how to format a record message
by Eric Prud'hommeaux 15 Aug '13

15 Aug '13

I have a project which has a handy stream filter in the formatter which indents newlines in logged messages to some depth à la: I/O [- 2 +] <loadedData> { <s> <p> <o> . <s> <p> <o2> . } </loadedData> (No, I'm not using an XML decorator above, though perhaps I should be.) I've maintained this for several generations of boost::log, e.g. #if (BOOST_VERSION > 104600) // could use (BOOST_LOG_COMPATIBILITY == "1.46") if cpp compared strings sink->set_formatter(&LineIndenter); #else backend->set_formatter(&LineIndenter); #endif but now that boost::log's released (1000s of thanks!!!), I'd like to switch to a channel_severity_filter. I had a custom formatter before in order to fiddle with the rec.message: inline void LineIndenter (std::ostream& strm, logging::record const& rec) { std::stringstream ss; oprfxnstream prfxstr(ss.rdbuf(), depth, ' '); ... stuff with attrs prfxstr << rec.message(); strm << ss.str(); } That member seems to be gone from logging::record and besides, it'd be nicer to use something like: boost::log::add_console_log (std::clog, boost::log::keywords::filter = min_severity || severity >= critical, boost::log::keywords::format = (boost::log::expressions::stream << line_id << ": <" << severity << "> [" << channel << "] " << lineIndenter(boost::log::expressions::smessage) ) ); I haven't figured out the signature for lineIndenter. I have the impression that I'm implementing a decorator like boost/log/expressions/formatters/c_decorator.hpp . So what's an easy way to wrap the attached stream filter (or a subclass constructed with some necessary constants) and pass it to a formatter? -- -ericP

graph theoretical problem
by Peter Foelsche 15 Aug '13

15 Aug '13

Dear All, does the boost graph library provide a solution to the problem I'm trying to solve: I want to distribute a set of tasks to multiple CPUs/Threads. The tasks have predecessor and successor dependencies. There are no loops. More often than not, a task consists of only very few operations. So if I brute force program this, the resulting code is busy only with scheduling -- the real code does not show up in the profiling results. I think this can be solved by collapsing some tasks into a single task to minimize scheduling/communication. I've got a cost function associated with every task. Is this some well known algorithm which is already available in boost graph? Kind Regards Peter Foelsche

[bgl] adding nodes recursively
by Littlefield, Tyler 14 Aug '13

14 Aug '13

Hello all: I have a game with multiple rooms, which I would like to map to a graph. Given this, I have a couple of questions. One of my goals is to separate each individual area and have it on it's own graph, then connect the graphs. Is this a possibility? I remember reading about connected graphs for my data structures class, but we didn't get to far with them. My second issue is I will have a vector of rooms, which all have exits. Each individual room will be a vertex with the exits being the edges. I can recursively add all the exits that a room points to, then come back and add the rest of the exits. But there may be two exits pointing to the same room. Is there a quick way that I could insure that rather than creating a new vertex, I could just point the edge to the preexisting vertex? Finally, i have one other question. I plan to create resources based on a bunch of different factors. Basically I need a way to determine the closest resources and perhaps get the shortest path to them, or the weight of all of the edges that would point to the n closest resources that were spawned. I want to use this weight to determine the density or find another way to determine density and spread the resources out across the world. -- Take care, Ty http://tds-solutions.net He that will not reason is a bigot; he that cannot reason is a fool; he that dares not reason is a slave.

Stability of Boost::Serialization XML Output
by Andreas Neustifter 14 Aug '13

14 Aug '13

Hi List, I have to provide digital signatures of serialized C++ objects, I'm planing on using Boost::Serialization for the XML part. Since XML signatures and XMLDsig in particular are difficult [1] and littered with pitfalls I was wondering if maybe the XML output of Boost::Serialization is stable enough to do a plain byte-oriented PKCSwhatever signature? To summarize: - C++ objects are serialized to XML with Boost::Serialization (XML is used since date has to be as human readable as possible). - Serialized XML has to be digitally signed. - XMLDsig is complicated [1] Question: Does Boost::Serialization with the XML backend produce bytewise the same data every time? I sincerely hope that I made myself clear. Andreas [1] http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/xmlsec.txt

[msm] exit points & favor compile time policy
by Alexander Mingalev 14 Aug '13

14 Aug '13

Hi, I faced to a strange problem. I'm working with root fsm & child fsm. Child fsm has an exit point called "End". I use vs2012u3, boost 1.54 transition table from root looks like that: struct Waiting : state<> {}; // Child is typedef for back-end struct transition_table : public boost::mpl::vector< ... Row < Waiting, begin, Child >, Row < Child::exit_pt<Child::End>, none, Waiting >, ... > {}; So, when I use F-C-T- policy, the Child fsm is stuck in Child::End state, the root fsm never moves to Waiting again. It doesn't happen with default policy. I noticed, that there is a note in msm's changelog From V2.24 to V2.25 (Boost 1.54) • Bugfix: Exit points broken for the favor_compile_time policy. looks similar to my case. Christophe, can you check that bugfix?

Unicode regex example
by Stefan Schweter 14 Aug '13

14 Aug '13

Hi, here is an unicode regex example, which I want to get matched: #include <iostream> #include <boost/regex.hpp> #include <boost/regex/icu.hpp> int main() { std::setlocale(LC_ALL, ""); boost::wregex condition(L"\\p{u}"); std::wstring test_word(L"Ü"); if (boost::regex_match(test_word, condition)) { std::wcout << L"Matches!" << std::endl; } boost::wregex condition2(L"[[:upper:]]"); if (boost::regex_match(test_word, condition2)) { std::wcout << L"Matches!" << std::endl; } boost::u32regex condition3 = boost::make_u32regex(L"\\p{u}"); if (boost::u32regex_match(test_word, condition3)) { std::wcout << L"Matches using lib icu!" << std::endl; } return 0; } Compiled with -lboost_regex -licuuc. Result: Only the last regex condition matches. So I have a few questions: 1. Is u32regex + make_u32regex the *only* way to get my regex condition matched? 2. Why does "upper class" in the second regex condition not match. E.g. when I use: echo "Ü" | grep '[[:upper:]]' on command line - it works properly :) Thanks in advance + regards, Stefan

[System]
by Geoff Shannon 14 Aug '13

14 Aug '13

Hey all, I've been looking over the Boost System library with an eye to making use of the system error codes functionality. Specifically, I want to use it to turn error codes returned by unix system calls like socket, accept, listen etc. into thrown exceptions. However, from the documentation I can't understand how I'm supposed to do this. Anybody know, or have good clear example code to share? Thanks, -- Geoff Nothing is ever easy.

Boost.Asio, 0MQ, and Windows
by Damien Kick 13 Aug '13

13 Aug '13

I have been following the excellent advice on using 0MQ and Boost.Asio on a POSIX-ish platform (MacOS) at <http://preview.tinyurl.com/jw4krek>. Unfortunately, though, I am writing code which needs to work on both POSIX-ish and Windows. I'm not having much luck, so far, with my attempts to translate this advice to the Windows side. I can't seem to figure out how to match the type returned by getsockopt(ZMQ_FD) on Windows and what I think should be the Windows equivalents of boost::asio::posix::stream_descriptor. Here is what I've tried: zmq::context_t zenv(1); zmq::socket_t zocket(zenv, ZMQ_PUSH); SOCKET zfd; std::size_t zfd_size = sizeof(zfd); zocket.getsockopt(ZMQ_FD, &zfd, &zfd_size); boost::asio::io_service ios; boost::asio::windows::stream_handle io(ios, zfd); And the error I get when I try to compile it. 2>Z:\zee-zmq-socket.cpp(14): error C2664: \ 'boost::asio::windows::basic_stream_handle<>::basic_stream_handle(\ boost::asio::io_service &,void *const &)' : cannot convert parameter \ 2 from 'SOCKET' to 'void *const &' 2> Reason: cannot convert from 'SOCKET' to 'void *const ' 2> Conversion from integral type to pointer type requires \ reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast So far, my Google-fu has been weak; I can only seem to find examples which deal with Boost.Asio and 0MQ on POSIX-ish. I'm not sure what I need to do to correctly get from a SOCKET to a `void * const`. The closest advice that I've been able to find is about combining 0MQ and libcurl: <http://preview.tinyurl.com/lbffx64>. And this advice also makes me nervous that my compilation problems are only the tip of a much nastier iceberg hiding under the surface. In particular, > The reason why there is a assign, but no release-function for > boost::asio::ip::tcp::sockets is that once a socket is "bound" to a > completion port you cannot "unbound" it or "bound" it to another > completion-port. And so I'm worried there might be other gotchas about which I might not know and which would not even be so polite as to manifest themselves as compile-time errors.

Iostreams with two filters throws exception
by NuSkooler 12 Aug '13

12 Aug '13

I've been attempting to use Boost.Iostreams with two filters to compress + encrypt ("out") and decrypt + uncompress ("in"). This works for some files, while others throw an exception during the "in" phase. If I remove either of the filters for out/in (e.g. remove the compress or the encrypt) everything works fine -- the issue only occurs with two filters chained. >From what I understand in the documentation, this should be supported, but I must be missing something. Below is the relevant portions of my code: Input & output cipher filters (note: I'm using Boost.Crypto, and boost::crypto::rc4_cipher specifically) template <typename StreamCipherT> class StreamCipherFilterBase { public: typedef char char_type; StreamCipherFilterBase(const std::string& key) { m_cipher.set_key(key.data(), static_cast<unsigned int>(key.length())); } protected: char m_buffer[1024 * 2]; // 2k internal buffer size StreamCipherT m_cipher; }; template <typename StreamCipherT> class StreamCipherEncryptFilter : public StreamCipherFilterBase<StreamCipherT> { public: typedef boost::iostreams::multichar_output_filter_tag category; StreamCipherEncryptFilter(const std::string& key) : StreamCipherFilterBase<StreamCipherT>(key) { } template<typename Sink> std::streamsize write(Sink& snk, const char* s, std::streamsize n) { std::streamsize written = 0; std::streamsize remain = n; std::streamsize eat; while(remain) { eat = remain < sizeof(StreamCipherFilterBase<StreamCipherT>::m_buffer) ? remain : sizeof(StreamCipherFilterBase<StreamCipherT>::m_buffer); StreamCipherFilterBase<StreamCipherT>::m_cipher.encrypt( s, StreamCipherFilterBase<StreamCipherT>::m_buffer, eat); written += boost::iostreams::write(snk, StreamCipherFilterBase<StreamCipherT>::m_buffer, eat); remain -= eat; s += eat; } return written; } }; template <typename StreamCipherT> class StreamCipherDecryptFilter : public StreamCipherFilterBase<StreamCipherT> { public: typedef boost::iostreams::multichar_input_filter_tag category; StreamCipherDecryptFilter(const std::string& key) : StreamCipherFilterBase<StreamCipherT>(key) { } template<typename Source> std::streamsize read(Source& src, char* s, std::streamsize n) { const std::streamsize read = boost::iostreams::read(src, s, n); if(EOF == read) { return EOF; } StreamCipherFilterBase<StreamCipherT>::m_cipher.decrypt(s, s, read); return read; } }; And compress + encrypt ("out") & decrypt + uncompress ("in"): (error checking removed for this post) // // Write out data compressing and encrypting as we go // boost::filesystem::ifstream inf(inFile.Get(), std::ios_base::binary | std::ios_base::in); boost::filesystem::ofstream outf(outFile.Get(), std::ios_base::binary | std::ios_base::out); StreamCipherEncryptFilter<CipherT> outCipherFilter(key); boost::iostreams::filtering_ostreambuf out; out.push(boost::iostreams::zlib_compressor()); // compress out.push(outCipherFilter); // then encrypt out.push(outf); // write to file boost::iostreams::copy(inf, out); // // Write out decrypted and uncompressed data: // boost::filesystem::ifstream inf(inFile.Get(), std::ios_base::binary | std::ios_base::in); boost::filesystem::ofstream outf(outFile.Get(), std::ios_base::binary | std::ios_base::out); StreamCipherDecryptFilter<CipherT> inCipherFilter(key); boost::iostreams::filtering_istreambuf in; in.push(boost::iostreams::zlib_decompressor()); in.push(inCipherFilter); in.push(inf); boost::iostreams::copy(in, outf); // <--- exception is thrown here for many files; some succeed with input md5 = output md5.
