[Boost.System] Porting to HP-UX PA_RISC.
by Jurko Gospodnetić 06 Dec '07

06 Dec '07

Hi. HP-UX PA_RISC is missing EOWNERDEAD and ENOTRECOVERABLE system error code constants required by the Boost System library. They are not critical to Boost System and are only converted to some Boost System constants as a convenience to the user. My guess is that they should not be used by Boost System unless the base OS defines them. Tested with the Boost System library distributed with the Boost ASIO 1.38 release. [This is related to our todays posting (PA_RISC HP-UX 11.11 port) on the Boost ASIO list.] Hope this helps. Best regards, Jurko Gospodnetić

[bind] performance tuning for a bad compiler
by Michael Marcin 05 Dec '07

05 Dec '07

I'm trying to make local modifications to bind to improve the code generated the compiler I have to use. I have written this small test file: //////////////////////////////// #include <boost/bind.hpp> class tester { public: struct value_type { float x, y, z; }; typedef const value_type& const_reference; value_type test( const value_type& a ); }; tester::value_type test_bind( tester& t, tester::const_reference x ) { return boost::bind( &tester::test, &t, _1 )( x ); } struct handspun { handspun( tester& t ) : m_t(t) {} tester::value_type operator()( tester::const_reference x ) { return m_t.test(x); } tester& m_t; }; tester::value_type test_handspun( tester& t, tester::const_reference x ) { return handspun(t)(x); } tester::value_type test_unrolled( tester& t, tester::const_reference x ) { return t.test( x ); } //////////////////////////////// Checking the generated assembly this code generates essentially the same code for test_bind and test_unrolled under VC8. Under the compiler I have to use (RVCT 2.2 sp1) however, it generates the following code. _Z9test_bindR6testerRKNS_10value_typeE PROC PUSH {lr} LDR r3,|L1.152| LDR r12,|L1.156| MOV lr,r2 LDM r3,{r2,r3} ; <Anon1>, <Anon1> SUB sp,sp,#0x2c LDRB r12,[r12,#0] STR r2,[sp,#0xc] STR r1,[sp,#8] ADD r2,sp,#0xc STR r12,[sp,#0x1c] STR r3,[sp,#0x10] STR r1,[sp,#0x14] LDM r2,{r2,r3,r12} ADD r1,sp,#0x20 STM r1,{r2,r3,r12} MOV r1,#0 LDR r3,[sp,#0x24] STR r1,[sp,#0x18] STR lr,[sp,#0x14] LDR r1,[sp,#0x28] TST r3,#1 LDRNE r12,[sp,#0x20] ADD r1,r1,r3,ASR #1 LDRNE r3,[r1,#0] BICNE r12,r12,#3 LDRNE r3,[r3,r12] LDREQ r3,[sp,#0x20] MOV r2,lr BLX r3 ADD sp,sp,#0x2c POP {pc} ENDP _Z13test_handspunR6testerRKNS_10value_typeE PROC PUSH {r3,lr} STR r1,[sp,#0] BL _ZN6tester4testERKNS_10value_typeE POP {r12,pc} ENDP _Z13test_unrolledR6testerRKNS_10value_typeE PROC B _ZN6tester4testERKNS_10value_typeE ENDP AREA ||.constdata||, DATA, READONLY, ALIGN=2 ||.constdata$1|| ||<Anon1>|| DCD _ZN6tester4testERKNS_10value_typeE DCD 0x00000000 I want to use bind in some performance sensitive areas because I don't want to have to get all the details of writing my functors or algorithms right since Boost and STL have already done that for me. Unless I can coerce my compiler into generating better code I'll have no choice but to abandon bind for this project. It isn't very easy for me to follow the bind sources. Does anyone have any hints on where I might start looking? Thanks, Michael Marcin

Input archive loads seem to corrupt shared character std::strings
by Chuck Bear 05 Dec '07

05 Dec '07

Folks, We were recently tracking down some weirdness in our application, and think it may interest other users of boost archives. In essence, we are using the std::string library that comes with gcc 4.x, which reference counts the underlying characters. The iarchive loads seem to corrupt these characters if they are shared with other std::string instances. Here is a paraphrased example of what we were doing. // First, we have a string instance static std::string defaultStringValue = "defaultValue"; // Next we make a class that uses this default to initialize a member in its base constructor class A { public: std::string member; A() : member(defaultStringValue); template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int serializer_version) { ar & member; } } What we find happening is that if you deserialize an instance of A, the defaultStringValue *can* get clobbered (this has a bit to do with the length of the underlying value, as to whether the characters get clobbered or not). The scenario goes something like this: 1. Create an instance of A, this member will get a reference to the underlying "defaultValue" characters. 2. Load the instance of A from an archive that has a different value of member (the same length, or maybe shorter. If you test this, try something like "eefaultValue"). 3. This seems to mess up the value of defaultStringValue, you can print it out and see. Inspection of the code reveals the following is happening (both in 1.34 and HEAD): text_iarchive_impl<Archive>::load(std::string &s) { std::size_t size; * this->This() >> size; // skip separating space is.get(); // borland de-allocator fixup #if BOOST_WORKAROUND(_RWSTD_VER, BOOST_TESTED_AT(20101)) if(NULL != s.data()) #endif s.resize(size); is.read(const_cast<char *>(s.data()), size); // <== This looks suspect } Basically, data() is const because of the reference counting. Doing this const_cast and modification causes other strings that share the ref counted characters to be corrupted. We have been applying the following patch to our production version of boost (1.34.0), to work around this issue. Basically, it makes its own temp string and then does the assignment. diff -du -r boost_1_34_0/boost/archive/impl/basic_binary_iprimitive.ipp boost_1_34_0.my/boost/archive/impl/basic_binary_iprimitive.ipp --- boost_1_34_0/boost/archive/impl/basic_binary_iprimitive.ipp 2006-02-09 01:58:07.000000000 -0500 +++ boost_1_34_0.my/boost/archive/impl/basic_binary_iprimitive.ipp 2007-12-03 18:05:43.000000000 -0500 @@ -85,8 +85,9 @@ template<class Archive, class Elem, class Tr> BOOST_ARCHIVE_OR_WARCHIVE_DECL(void) -basic_binary_iprimitive<Archive, Elem, Tr>::load(std::string & s) +basic_binary_iprimitive<Archive, Elem, Tr>::load(std::string & res_s) { + std::string s; std::size_t l; this->This()->load(l); // borland de-allocator fixup @@ -96,6 +97,9 @@ s.resize(l); // note breaking a rule here - could be a problem on some platform load_binary(const_cast<char *>(s.data()), l); + + // Respect other references to the chars by assigning result string + res_s = s; } #ifndef BOOST_NO_CWCHAR @@ -113,8 +117,9 @@ #ifndef BOOST_NO_STD_WSTRING template<class Archive, class Elem, class Tr> BOOST_ARCHIVE_OR_WARCHIVE_DECL(void) -basic_binary_iprimitive<Archive, Elem, Tr>::load(std::wstring & ws) +basic_binary_iprimitive<Archive, Elem, Tr>::load(std::wstring & res_ws) { + std::wstring ws; std::size_t l; this->This()->load(l); // borland de-allocator fixup @@ -124,6 +129,9 @@ ws.resize(l); // note breaking a rule here - is could be a problem on some platform load_binary(const_cast<wchar_t *>(ws.data()), l * sizeof(wchar_t) / sizeof(char)); + + // Respect other references to the chars by assigning result string + res_ws = ws; } #endif diff -du -r boost_1_34_0/boost/archive/impl/text_iarchive_impl.ipp boost_1_34_0.my/boost/archive/impl/text_iarchive_impl.ipp --- boost_1_34_0/boost/archive/impl/text_iarchive_impl.ipp 2005-12-11 01:12:52.000000000 -0500 +++ boost_1_34_0.my/boost/archive/impl/text_iarchive_impl.ipp 2007-12-03 17:56:04.000000000 -0500 @@ -42,8 +42,9 @@ template<class Archive> BOOST_ARCHIVE_DECL(void) -text_iarchive_impl<Archive>::load(std::string &s) +text_iarchive_impl<Archive>::load(std::string &res_s) { + std::string s; std::size_t size; * this->This() >> size; // skip separating space @@ -54,6 +55,9 @@ #endif s.resize(size); is.read(const_cast<char *>(s.data()), size); + + // Respect other references to the chars by assigning result string + res_s = s; } #ifndef BOOST_NO_CWCHAR @@ -74,8 +78,9 @@ #ifndef BOOST_NO_STD_WSTRING template<class Archive> BOOST_ARCHIVE_DECL(void) -text_iarchive_impl<Archive>::load(std::wstring &ws) +text_iarchive_impl<Archive>::load(std::wstring &res_ws) { + std::wstring ws; std::size_t size; * this->This() >> size; // borland de-allocator fixup @@ -86,6 +91,9 @@ // skip separating space is.get(); is.read((char *)ws.data(), size * sizeof(wchar_t)/sizeof(char)); + + // Respect other references to the chars by assigning result string + res_ws = ws; } #endif // BOOST_NO_STD_WSTRING diff -du -r boost_1_34_0/boost/archive/impl/text_wiarchive_impl.ipp boost_1_34_0.my/boost/archive/impl/text_wiarchive_impl.ipp --- boost_1_34_0/boost/archive/impl/text_wiarchive_impl.ipp 2005-07-02 01:52:14.000000000 -0400 +++ boost_1_34_0.my/boost/archive/impl/text_wiarchive_impl.ipp 2007-12-03 18:05:07.000000000 -0500 @@ -79,8 +79,10 @@ #ifndef BOOST_NO_STD_WSTRING template<class Archive> BOOST_WARCHIVE_DECL(void) -text_wiarchive_impl<Archive>::load(std::wstring &ws) +text_wiarchive_impl<Archive>::load(std::wstring &res_ws) { + std::wstring ws; + std::size_t size; * this->This() >> size; // skip separating space @@ -93,6 +95,9 @@ ws.resize(size); // note breaking a rule here - is this a problem on some platform is.read(const_cast<wchar_t *>(ws.data()), size); + + // Respect other references to the chars by assigning result string + res_ws = ws; } #endif Curious if anyone has thoughts on the matter...

Generating unique identifiers at compile-time
by Mathias Gaunard 05 Dec '07

05 Dec '07

Meta-Programming, as used in Boost.MPL and others, allows to compute arbitrary values at compile-time, in a Turing-complete manner. However, something like generating unique identifiers at compile-time, which would be fairly useful, requires some kind of entropy source to create a random seed. One can maybe extract some entropy from macros such as __DATE__ and __TIME__, using both preprocessing and templates. Among you boosters, which are well known for your interesting in meta-programming, is there someone who ever tried to look into this?

[serialization] Adding serialization code for std::tr1::unordered_map and std::tr1::unordered_multimap

As this is pretty straightforward, would you mind adding the serialization code for this two classes to your library?

05 Dec '07

Hi, In boost/thread/pthread/tss.hpp, lines 23 and 24, there is a BOOST_THREAD_DECL macro which gives compilation errors on Linux. The code compiles fine without it.
