Re: [Boost-users] Help with custom classes PLEASE!!

4 Feb 2010

      Hi, thanks for all the help, everything is working perfect now.
I have another question, I need to access the shared memory segment from
several process and all at the same time. I tried to use pthreads but that
didn't work.
I was looking at boost::interprocess threads but I'm not sure how to
implement the mutex.
this is the code I have:

#include 

#include 

#include 

#include 

#include 

#include <cstdlib>

#include <string>

#include <iostream>

#include <map>

#include <sstream>

using namespace boost::interprocess;

typedef managed_shared_memory::segment_manager SegmentManager;

typedef allocator VoidAllocator;

typedef allocator CharAllocator;

typedef basic_string
BasicString;

class Action

{

    int id;

    BasicString task;

public:

    Action(int num, const char *name, const VoidAllocator &void_alloc)

            :id(num), task(name,void_alloc)

            {}

            void setId(int num);

            void setTask(BasicString newTask);

            int getId();

};

int Action::getId() {

    return id;

}

void Action::setId(int num) {

    id = num;

}

void Action::setTask(BasicString newTask) {

    task = newTask;

}

typedef allocator ActionAllocator;

typedef std::pair MapValueType;

typedef std::pair MovableToMapValueType;

typedef allocator MapValueTypeAllocator;

typedef map MyMap;

int main(int argc, char** argv) {

    //Remove shared memory on construction and destruction

    struct shm_remove {

        shm_remove() {shared_memory_object::remove("MySharedMemory"); }

        ~shm_remove() {shared_memory_object::remove("MySharedMemory"); }

    }remover;

    managed_shared_memory segment(create_only, "MySharedMemory", 65536);

    VoidAllocator alloc_inst(segment.get_segment_manager());

   MyMap *myMap = segment.construct<MyMap>("Map"
)(std::less<BasicString>(),alloc_inst);

    std::string keyword;

    std::string helper;

    int i=0;

    for(int adder = 0; adder<=1000; adder++)

    {

        keyword = "Hello";

        std::stringstream out;

        out << adder;

        helper = out.str();

        keyword = keyword + helper;//Creates a string "Hello" + adder

        BasicString key(keyword.c_str(), alloc_inst);//string to BasicString

        Action action(i,"Hello", alloc_inst);

        MapValueType value(key, action);

        myMap->insert(value);

        i++;

    }

How do I have to set the mutex??
Thanks!

Thanks,
I fixed some things and its running now.
What I don't know how to do is to declarate/allocate a custom class..
I got this:
typedef managed_shared_memory::segment_manager SegmentManager;
typedef allocator CharAllocator;
typedef basic_string
BasicString;
typedef allocator IntAllocator;
class Action
{
   int id;
   BasicString task;
public:
   Action(int num, const char *name, const VoidAllocator &void_alloc)
           :id(num), task(name,void_alloc)
           {}
           void setId(int num);
           void setTask(BasicString newTask);
};
void Action::setId(int num) {
   id = num;
}
void Action::setTask(BasicString newTask) {
   task = newTask;
}
Now... how should I allocate the "Class" object??
Any Idea? Thanks!!
I assume that by Class you mean the Action class?
If this class is used at the top level, you can use
managed_shared_memory::construct.  If you want
to use an allocator with it, the commands are
allocator alloc(...);
// allocate memory
Action* action = alloc.allocate(1);
// construct an object using placement new
new (action) Action(12, "action", ...);
