[Review] Shmem library review results
by Fred Bertsch 17 Feb '06

17 Feb '06

Hello everyone, The formal review of Ion Gaztañaga's Shmem library ended yesterday. I am pleased to announce that it was accepted into Boost! This library clearly generated a lot of interest from people since we got quite a few reviews. All of them were positive. During the discussion, some weaknesses in the library were found, and Ion has agreed to correct them. These include: - Improvements to the documentation and example code. - Clearer documentation on which header files to include for which objects. - Removing the 2-phase construction mechanism and replacing them with RAII-only constructors. - Adding !is_polymorphic static asserts when inserting an object into shared memory. Several difficult issues were raised during the review that will not be solved immediately. These include: - Security information about the shared memory object is currently avoided. - The synchronization objects have some weaknesses. Some of these weaknesses are related to the same weaknesses in Boost.Threads. - Memory mapped file regions are not separate from memory mapped files in the current implementation. - Multi-segment shared memory that would allow the shared memory object to grow. Perhaps these issues could be dealt with in a future version. Thank you, everyone, for the reviews and discussions about Shmem. This library should be extremely useful to those doing IPC. -Fred Bertsch

[shmem] Multiple allocator inheritence in containers
by Tom Widmer 17 Feb '06

17 Feb '06

I noticed in the shmem implementation of the node based containers, multiple inheritence of allocators is used to provide the allocators of the three types required. This is going to add something like 8 extra bytes of overhead to the container for a allocator type of size 4, compared to having only a single allocator base class. Is there any reason not to create copies of a single allocator on demand? e.g. something like this: template<class T, class A, bool convertible_construct> struct shmem_list_alloc : public A { //... void priv_init() { //copy from A to make NodeAlloc m_node = NodeAlloc(static_cast<A&>(*this)).allocate(1); if(!boost::has_trivial_constructor<NodePtr>::value){ scoped_ptr<Node, Deallocator>node_deallocator(m_node, *this); //Make sure destructors are called before memory is freed //if an exception is thrown { typedef typename PtrAlloc::pointer NodePtrPtr; //copy allocator PtrAlloc ptrAlloc(static_cast<NodeAlloc&>(*this)); NodePtrPtr pnext(ptrAlloc.address(m_node->m_next)), pprev(ptrAlloc.address(m_node->m_prev)); ptrAlloc.construct(pnext, m_node); scoped_ptr<NodePtr, PtrDestructor> next_destroy(pnext, *this); ptrAlloc.construct(pprev, m_node); next_destroy.release(); } node_deallocator.release(); } else{ m_node->m_next = m_node; m_node->m_prev = m_node; } } That way you save 8 bytes in size, for presumably no measurable performance penalty from the cheap copying of the allocator. Obviously, any allocators used with this scheme must have the property that copies don't independently stop being == to each other, but that's almost required anyway for the multiple inheritence version.

Hi, how can I implement regex_replace, that it only replaces a given numbers of occurencies? e.g test test test test test replace only 3 "e" not all of them. Thanks. ___________________________________________________________ Telefonate ohne weitere Kosten vom PC zum PC: http://messenger.yahoo.de

[Boost-bugs] [ boost-Bugs-1433424 ] program_options: additional parser bug
by SourceForge.net 17 Feb '06

17 Feb '06

Bugs item #1433424, was opened at 2006-02-17 00:54 Message generated for change (Tracker Item Submitted) made by Item Submitter You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=107586&aid=1433424&group_… Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: program_options: additional parser bug Initial Comment: alexander.kondratyuk(a)gmail.com It seems there is a bug in additional parser wrapper - in case then my option has no parameters defined and declared in description, it adds an empty value to the vector of values when additional paser returns pair of strings. Changing code in cmdline.cpp in function cmdline::handle_additional_parser from next.value.push_back(r.second); to if (!r.second.empty()) next.value.push_back(r.second); will fix the problem. Here is an example that illustrates the problem: #define BOOST_WHATEVER_DYN_LINK #define BOOST_LIB_DIAGNOSTIC #include <boost/program_options/variables_map.hpp> #include <boost/program_options/options_description.hpp> #include <boost/program_options/parsers.hpp> #include <boost/program_options/detail/utf8_codecvt_facet.hpp> #include <boost/token_iterator.hpp> #include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp> using namespace boost::program_options; #include <string> #include <vector> using namespace std; pair<string, string> parserDashDashShort(const string& s) { string str = s.substr( 0, s.find('=') ); if( str.length()==3 && str[0]=='-' && str[1]=='-' && str[2]<='z' && str[2]>='a') { string val = s.substr(str.length()); return make_pair( str.substr(1), val ); } return make_pair(string(), string()); } int _tmain(int , _TCHAR* argv[]) { int style = command_line_style::allow_short| command_line_style::allow_dash_for_short | command_line_style::short_allow_adjacent; options_description desc; desc.add_options() ("help,h", "help message") ; char* args[]={"program.exe", "--h"}; int argc = sizeof( args ) / sizeof( args[0] ); parse_command_line<char>( argc, (char**)args, desc, style, parserDashDashShort ); return 0; } ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=107586&aid=1433424&group_… ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Hello, a boost-shmem library would by very useful. I could not figure out how a process sharing multiple message-queues with several other processes gets informed from which message-queue can be read without blocking? Would this be possible (some demultiplexing mechanism)? Regards, Oliver

[Review] Shmem on QNX6
by Jim Douglas 17 Feb '06

17 Feb '06

Please always state in your review, whether you think the library should be accepted as a Boost library! Yes - How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A quick reading? In-depth study? A glance at the docs and a couple of attempts at the tests. - Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain? The QNX OS offers many techniques for IPC - shared memory is just one of those. I use it a lot, but normally for POD (Plain Old Data) and simple non-virtual classes. I have learned the hard way over the years about its limitations e.g. no pointers, no virtual classes etc. I look forward to being able to evaluate this library in more depth as time permits. - Did you try to use the library? With what compiler? Did you have any problems? I attempted to build and test on QNX Neutrino v6.3.0 (aka QNX6) using the gcc 3.3.5 compiler and Dinkumware C++ std library. There were some compile failures and test failures, but nothing that could not be fixed given time. The QNX supplied GNU C++ std library fails miserably because the wide character support is disabled. - What is your evaluation of the design? Generally good. QNX does not currently support memory mapped files although it does allow the creation of regular files (but not directories) under /dev/shmem. Memory mapped files are being implemented and are promised for a future release. - What is your evaluation of the documentation? Others have said it all. - What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library? The core classes for managing the memory space save a lot of C code and go way beyond the simple helper classes I have written. Synchronisation primitives are pretty much mandatory in shared memory applications and I welcome these. I look forward to evaluating the use of STL classes and being able to treat the shared memory dynamically. A number of the extensions that you propose in the form of message passing queues between processes already exist in the QNX kernel, but I can see the potential for less fortunate :-) operating systems.
