[Boost][config] limits_test is missing [Boost][test] symbols
by K. Noel Belcourt 13 Sep '07

13 Sep '07

Hi, I'm trying to run the trunk version of boost/libs/config tests and am getting this linker error from limits_test with the Pathscale 3.0 compiler. pathscale.link ../../../bin.v2/libs/config/test/limits_test.test/ pathscale-3.0/debug/threading-multi/limits_test /var/scratch/boost/libs/config/test/limits_test.cpp:85: undefined reference to `boost::unit_test::unit_test_log_t::set_checkpoint (boost::unit_test::basic_cstring<char const>, unsigned long, boost::unit_test::basic_cstring<char const>)' Now poking around boost/test, I found set_checkpoint defined in impl/ unit_test_log.ipp, which is apparently never included into <boost/ test/test_tools.hpp>. Here's how I found this. [boost/test] pwd /var/scratch/boost/boost/test [boost/test] find . -type f -exec grep -H impl/unit_test_log.ipp {} \; ./included/unit_test.hpp:#include <boost/test/impl/unit_test_log.ipp> ./included/test_exec_monitor.hpp:#include <boost/test/impl/ unit_test_log.ipp> [boost/test] find . -type f -exec grep -H included/unit_test.hpp {} \; ./included/unit_test_framework.hpp:#include <boost/test/included/ unit_test.hpp> [boost/test] find . -type f -exec grep -H included/ test_exec_monitor.hpp {} \; [boost/test] find . -type f -exec grep -H included/ unit_test_framework.hpp {} \; So how is boost/libs/config/test/limits_test supposed to pick up set_checkpoint and other missing Boost.test symbols? What am I missing? Thanks. -- Noel

[serialization] save_pointer_type::invoke - possible error
by Sergey Skorniakov 12 Sep '07

12 Sep '07

Hello, I'm developing custom polymorphic archive and noticed that virtual function save_null_pointer is never called for my archive. I think the problem is in save_pointer_type::invoke (boost/archive/detail/oserializer.hpp): const basic_pointer_oserializer * bpos_ptr = register_type(ar, * t); if(NULL == t){ basic_oarchive & boa = boost::smart_cast_reference<basic_oarchive &>(ar); boa.save_null_pointer(); save_access::end_preamble(ar); return; } save(ar, * t, bpos_ptr); I see no reasons to use smart_cast here. I think, the code sholud be: const basic_pointer_oserializer * bpos_ptr = register_type(ar, * t); if(NULL == t){ ar.save_null_pointer(); save_access::end_preamble(ar); return; } save(ar, * t, bpos_ptr); Please correct this in the next release of library (or explain).

The problem is what guarantee you can have when reading the value of a shared counter that can be asynchronously modified by other threads. In my use case, related to the implementation of copy-on-write behaviour of a smart-pointer-like class, I have the guarantee that if the ref_count is 1, then I'm sure that only one thread owns the smart ptr. This is the only guarantee I need to implement COW correctly. It holds because: * when the smart_ptr is created, the reference is set to 1. * if you want to pass it to an other thread, you will place it in a synchronized queue or other mechanism, that will provide the necessary memory barriers. * if an other thread is copying it from the initial thread, and the initial thread can do a modifying operation that triggers COW, then the accesses must be locked, or you will end in undefined behaviour. * if a third thread is copying it from a thread that has a copy, but was not the initial one (on which we suppose we are operating the COW), then the count was already >1 Note: the other implication (if only one thread has it, then the count will be seen as 1) does not always hold, but this doesn't affect the correctness. Probably there are other legitimate uses of the atomic counter that requires a memory barrier (or only an aquire), but this is not the most general case.

The outcome, then, will depend on the processor semantics. Intel has just documented the memory model for both x86 and ia64 (thanks to gpd for this link): http://developer.intel.com/products/processor/manuals/318147.pdf Reading it, it seems to me that, if you always update a memory location with locked operations (that operate as memory barriers), then you don't need any acquire when reading that value, to ensure that you will see all the stores (before the update) from the thread that updated the value.

[date_time, asio, range] Unused argument warning fixes
by Caleb Epstein 12 Sep '07

12 Sep '07

Attached is a patch against the SVN trunk that fixes several unused argument warnings from gcc. With one exception the changes are just commenting out the argument name in the function definition. but there is a more ugly fix in <asio/detail/strand_service.hpp> that is only required when building with NDEBUG defined (e.g. when assert is a noop). Can the owners of the code take a look and either commit the appropriate fixes or give me the go-ahead to do it myself. I don't want to step on any toes. -- Caleb Epstein

[Boost][config]Pathscale and Pgi configuration headers
by K. Noel Belcourt 12 Sep '07

12 Sep '07

Hi, I ran boost/config configure on our PGI and Pathscale compilers and have create minimal headers (attached) that I'd like to add to boost/ config/compiler. If there's no problems with how I've setup the files or other objections, I'll commit them to the trunk in a couple of days. Thanks. -- Noel Belcourt
