[interprocess] patch for AIX
by Etienne PIERRE 28 Apr '09

28 Apr '09

Hello, Currently interprocess doesn't work on AIX for two reasons : - detail/os_thread_functions.hpp uses ::pthread_equal but this fails because pthread_equal is a macro under AIX and it fails because of the :: prefix - in detail/atomic.hpp there is no implementation of PowerPC under AIX so I added one that uses the combination of lwarx and stwcx for each function to implement. I saw that under AIX, the detail/atomic_count.hpp and detail/sp_counted_base.hpp falls back to a pthread implementation, I could submit a patch for a real atomic implementation under AIX but I wonder if there are other places in boost where this should be done ? Thanks, Etienne PIERRE

[Boost.any] Nightly trunk testing failures
by K. Noel Belcourt 28 Apr '09

28 Apr '09

Hi, Most nightly trunk testing results are failing with this error message. Have their been recent changes to Boost.any that could have caused this? # Making "/var/scratch/boost/results" directory... # Starting tests ("/var/scratch/boost/tools_bjam/bin.linuxx86/bjam" "- sBOOST_BUILD_PATH=/var/scratch/boost:/var/scratch/boost/tools_bb" "- sBOOST_ROOT=/var/scratch/boost/boost" "--boost=/var/scratch/boost/ boost" "--boost-build=/var/scratch/boost/tools_bb" "--debug- configuration" -l300 intel-10.0 -d2 preserve-test-targets=off --dump- tests -j8 link=static "--build-dir=/var/scratch/boost/results" >>"/ var/scratch/boost/results/bjam.log" 2>&1)... # Running Boost.Build tests Traceback (most recent call last): File "run.py", line 60, in <module> runner(root) File "/var/scratch/boost/tools_regression_src/regression.py", line 193, in __init__ self.main() File "/var/scratch/boost/tools_regression_src/regression.py", line 551, in main getattr(self,action_m)() File "/var/scratch/boost/tools_regression_src/regression.py", line 516, in command_regression self.command_test() File "/var/scratch/boost/tools_regression_src/regression.py", line 317, in command_test self.command_test_boost_build() File "/var/scratch/boost/tools_regression_src/regression.py", line 354, in command_test_boost_build "boost/bin.v2/libs/any/test/any_test.test")); OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/scratch/boost/ results/boost/bin.v2/libs/any/test/any_test.test' We get the exact same error message on all Sandia testers, and from the looks of it, most other testers are having the same problem. Any help in getting testing going again would be appreciated. Thanks. -- Noel

mpl::print and the sun compiler
by Dmitry Goncharov 28 Apr '09

28 Apr '09

The sun c++ compiler doesn't issue a warning about comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions. The attached patch makes mpl::print produce "implicit int is not supported" warning. With the patch applied the compiler output looks like this: $ CC +w -c print.cpp "/home/dgoncharov/boost/trunk/boost/mpl/print.hpp", line 55: Warning: Implicit int is not supported in C++. "print.cpp", line 3: Where: While specializing "boost::mpl::print<int>". "print.cpp", line 3: Where: Specialized in non-template code. 1 Warning(s) detected. Br, Dmitry

For your needs the library is fully implemented, you don't need to look into RC4 implementation since the library already has many algorithms. On your encrypted string problem, it is best to user during installation techniques. Create an encrypted archive where the user has to provide a product key for the installation to commence. Read decrypted contents from the archive, encrypt it using any encryption algorithm you like however, use a PRNG to generate the key. Seed the PRNG from the available hardware and host OS and etc. Then each time you want the plaintext you regenerate your PRNG then decrypt your ciphertext. -- Kasra

Re: [boost] [asio] send blocks with MSG_DONTWAIT (linux)

> You can switch your socket in the non-blocking mode with > basic_stream_socket::non_blocking_io(). > Though asio should handle MSG_DONTWAIT as well. > > BR, Dmitry Hi Dimitry, that's right, but i need a blocking read and a non-blocking wirte. With basic_stream_socket::non_blocking_io() both, read and write are non-blocking. When i use C-functions read is blocking and write is non-blocking (when passing MSG_DONTWAIT). Best regards Stefan

Help with VMS port of CMake
by Bill Hoffman 27 Apr '09

27 Apr '09

Hi, I am trying to port CMake to VMS. For the first pass I am going to use the GNV tools and gmake. I am very close, but I am having trouble with files that have more than one "." in the name. CMake uses files like that in several places, as do many CMake based projects. Assuming I use POSIX paths on VMS, does anyone on this list know what magic the GNV cat program uses to handle the following: This works: cat /idisk1/devel/Windows-cl.cmake.in I wrote a simple C++ program that uses fstream to open argv[1], and get the following results: These work: ./test. Windows-cl.cmake.in ./test. Windows-cl^.cmake.in ./test. idisk1:[devel]Windows-cl^.cmake.in This does not: ./test. /idisk1/devel/Windows-cl.cmake.in Any help would be appreciated. Sorry if this is not very boost related, but in previous CMake discussions on the list the topic of VMS came up, so I thought there might be someone that could help me out. Thanks. -Bill

[reference_wrapper] feature request
by Thorsten Ottosen 27 Apr '09

27 Apr '09

Hi, It came up again in the RangeEx review that we really need reference_wrapper<T> to implement a forwarding operator(). Personally I don't care much for more than one or two arguments, but I guess others will. Thanks -Thorsten

Hi, I am working on a Crypto library for that could do compile time encryption/decryption, however, requires 'constexpr' support from the compiler: template<class T> constexpr void encrypt(T& cipher_text, const T& plain_text) const throw(bad_state); template<class T> constexpr void decrypt(T& cipher_text, const T& plain_text) const throw(bad_state); -- Kasra

Boost does not have one. If I were you however I would look into a commercial protector such as themida (www.oreans.com) or armadillo or asprotect. ------Original Message------ From: Sid Sacek Sender: boost-bounces(a)lists.boost.org To: boost(a)lists.boost.org ReplyTo: boost(a)lists.boost.org Sent: Apr 27, 2009 8:21 AM Subject: [boost] [encrypted strings] Does boost have any compile-time classes for string encryption? Is it even possible? When a hacker dumps an executable, they can see all of the strings the program might use, and some of those strings may contain sensitive information. Does boost have any classes that can encode the strings at compile-time? Ideally, the third string in the code below would never compile the "secret" string into the final binary.
