[units] - learning to use
by Janek Kozicki 05 Dec '11

05 Dec '11

Hi, I wrote a short function that integrates Huyghens spherical wave for diffraction. (This is a single slit experiment btw). I have some questions, marked with (*) double integral( const quantity<length> x // x - position where light intensity is calculated , const quantity<length> R // R - distance from slit to screen , const quantity<length> D // D - slit width , const quantity<length> lambda // lambda - wavelength , double steps // steps - number of integration steps // (*) ) { complex<double> i(0,1); complex<double> a(0); static const double pi = 3.14159265358979323846; // (**) quantity<wavenumber,complex<double> > k=2*pi/lambda; quantity<length> d=-0.5*D; // d - position on the slit quantity<length> dd=D/steps; // dd - width of integral step // integrate from -d to d: exp(i*k*r)/r for( ; d<= 0.5*D ; d+=dd ) { quantity<length> r=sqrt(pow<2>(R)+pow<2>(x-d)); a += (dd*exp(i*k*r)/r).value(); // (***) } return pow<2>(abs(a)); } (*) it should be `int steps` but if I write it this way I get a compilation error here: quantity<length> dd=D/steps; // dd - width of integral step That looks like a conversion problem. (**) why do I need to define pi ? I expected to find it somewhere, but I couldn't. (***) it seems strange that I need to take .value() here. The result is dimensionless, why can't it directly convert to complex<double> ? There is a risk that .value() would be expressed in millimeters or angstroms or whatever (maybe depending on dd), and then .value() would return a wrongly scaled number? Another question, why this works: quantity<length> wavelength ( 632.8 *nano*meters); and this does not? quantity<length> wavelength = 632.8 *nano*meters; Of course I know about extra copying, and waste of CPU resources on execution, when compiler isn't able to optimize this away (and usually it is able to do that). But why the heck this simple assignment can't work? PS: I am attaching a short test version of this program, it's in polish, but I hope you don't mind. best regards and thanks in advance for your help -- Janek Kozicki http://janek.kozicki.pl/ |

New Container: Hashed Vector
by Sam Hertz 05 Dec '11

05 Dec '11

Boost Developers, Let me start by saying that I love the Boost Libraries. I use them frequently. Most of the time, when I need some unique data structure in my code, Boost can solve my problems. I saw the recent release of the Container library and I love the idea of the flat_set/map structures. In my code, I require a data structure that has fast associative lookup (like an unordered_set). However, this data structure should preserve the order of element insertion. In other words, the data structure would be similar to the flat_set/map structures, but would preserve order of insertion instead of relying on the < operator or a Comparable function object. Right now, I am calling this structure a hashed_vector. I am aware of Boost.Multi-Index, but this library is very general purpose and cumbersome to use to implement a hashed_vector. Ideally the structure would have an identical interface to the std::vector class, but with a much speedier find member function. Right now I am creating a wrapper class for multi_index_container to implement the hashed_vector, but hopefully a more direct implementation could be added to the Boost Libraries. I am sharing this idea with all of you because I want to see if you think such a structure is worth including in the libraries and if anyone is interested in implementing it. I would love to implement it myself, but I am currently a full-time graduate student and my experience with template programming is laughable when considering the amount currently used in the Boost Libraries. Looking forward to your feedback! Sam

[smart-ptr][containers] type of the operator[] index
by Vicente J. Botet Escriba 05 Dec '11

05 Dec '11

Hi, which is the correct type used as index of operator[]. scoped_array uses std::ptrdiff_t. Others containers use std::size_t. The standard uses also std::size_t, but in 13.6 Built-in operators 13 For every cv-qualified or cv-unqualified object type T there exist candidate operator functions of the form T* operator+(T*, std::ptrdiff_t); T& operator[](T*, std::ptrdiff_t); T* operator-(T*, std::ptrdiff_t); T* operator+(std::ptrdiff_t, T*); T& operator[](std::ptrdiff_t, T*); we see again std::ptrdiff_t. When using an index to move from a scoped_array to another container which should be the type if the index? Best, Vicente

[thread][general] Using and building the library
by Vicente J. Botet Escriba 04 Dec '11

04 Dec '11

Hi, there is a ticket for the Boost.Thread #4921 BOOST_THREAD_USE_DLL and BOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB are crucial and need to be documented (https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4921) related to the documentation of how the library can be used and build. Boost.Config provides some tools that the library authors can adopt, but is there a documented way to do it? If yet could you point it Here it is what could be added to for Boost.Thread Using and building the library Boost.Thread is configured following the conventions used to build libraries with separate source code (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/libs/config/doc/html/boost_config/boos…) Boost.Thread will import/export the code only if the user has specifically asked for it, by defining either BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK if they want all boost libraries to be dynamically linked, or BOOST_THREAD_DYN_LINK if they want just this one to be dynamically liked. The source code compiled when building the library defines a macros BOOST_THREAD_SOURCE that is used to import or export it. The user must not define this macro in any case. Best, Vicente

Phoenix documentation problems
by Dave Abrahams 03 Dec '11

03 Dec '11

A few things I just noticed: 1. http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/libs/phoenix/doc/html/phoenix/what_s_… says: "Bind is no completely compatible with Boost.Bind" There's a letter missing after "no," the choice of which ("w" or "t") can invert the meaning of the sentence! It wasn't until I got to http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/libs/phoenix/doc/html/phoenix/modules… that I realized it was "w"! 2. On the same page I think there's a messed up cross-reference, because "phoenix.modules.function phoenix::function" Doesn't make a whole lot of sense. 3. On libs/phoenix/doc/html/phoenix/starter_kit/values.html I see: Confused? val(3) is a unary function, you say? Yes it is. No, it isn't. val is a unary function. val(3) *invokes* a unary function. 4. libs/phoenix/doc/html/phoenix/starter_kit/lazy_operators.html says that x[ref(i)] is an error but it gives only a confusing partial explanation that doesn't seem to follow the rules above it. operator[] looks as much like a binary operation as operator*; the difference is that the former must be a member. 5. Can we please, finally, *deprecate* Boost.Lambda and put a sign on its docs directing people to look at Phoenix? -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

[1.49.0] New libraries?
by Beman Dawes 03 Dec '11

03 Dec '11

What new libraries are ready for 1.49.0? What is that state of any new libraries that want to go in 1.49.0? Are they in trunk and do the developers think they are ready to be merged into release? The release managers would like to have a four week beta period of 1.49.0. That means we have to get going on new libraries right way if we are going meet our early February release schedule. --The release team

[thread] patch to allow custom stack size.
by Brett Lentz 03 Dec '11

03 Dec '11

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Patch and (very) rudimentary usage example is attached. A couple months ago, I sent mail to the list looking to see if there's interest in getting some patches merged from Phusion Passenger. (See: http://marc.info/?t=131722868200003&r=1&w=2 ) So, here's the first patch I'd like to try to get committed. On pthread-based systems, it allows for the user to request a custom stack size. This is useful in Passenger's case where they want to reduce the VM size without requiring the user to hassle with ulimit settings. Passenger spawns many threads rather than using a thread pool for performance reasons. As a result of this design decision, they also need the ability to tune the stack size. Ticket #5956 already exists for this patch. I've verified that the patch works against the current (1.49) codebase out of SVN. What next steps need to be taken before this is committed? - -- - ---Brett. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJO1lZEAAoJEEAzW/nB31+3fx4H/iulwAM7vGlZW56xsuezTXPC 6SSuYzUlkyVeCngpireVyD0+Um/ACFBM8FSf76cRnewX5449T01IycmX3fUe+z7g DjjUCQAHJ/9pdfrqEHz0d7wZcZbeBHUm2zggdDGcn703JQSagg2Q5d5mz48RU8/J ixTe/oAOAaXk5TQo/92fHrAmtpwfQON4tPsS7Om0kJ5vcv3PbIqQ0Q4eBKRJCVHI /CFfc3xXwSaR1xUkwhPHtjydlIWAMo0+bdKgJE5HGnn6fQSU5jlZ+ihDyajOmM88 ueaIcWi7pa3OZwLzrUNG0xIH4m7wtk0ga8edym4+ZvuovUi4vYRA1k4dIzBOtvg= =0dQJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[thread] [rfc] patch to change condition_variable and mutex error checks

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Patch is attached. I'd like to get some comments about this patch. Does it seem reasonable enough to accept? Is there a better way to handle it? BOOST_VERIFY aborts on EINTR, but EINTR is usually not fatal, it just means you need to try later.

[serialization] duplicate symbols when trying to BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT
by V D 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

Hi, I'm using boost serialization to serialize a bunch of classes, sometimes I need to serialize via a base pointer to a derived class. Let's consider the very simple case where we have a class B deriving from class A. /*** a.h ***/ #ifndef __A__H #define __A__H #include <iostream> class A { private: virtual void make_polymorphic() = 0; friend class boost::serialization::access; template <typename Archive> void serialize(Archive& ar, const unsigned int version) { std::cout << "A!\n"; } }; #endif /*** b.h ***/ #ifndef __B__H #define __B__H #include <boost/serialization/base_object.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/export.hpp> #include "a.h" class B : public A { private: friend class boost::serialization::access; template <typename Archive> void serialize(Archive& ar, const unsigned int version) { ar & boost::serialization::base_object<A>(*this); std::cout << "B!\n"; } virtual void make_polymorphic() {} }; BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT(B); #endif I'm using the BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT so that it registers a GUID for class B, so that serialization of a base pointer to a derived class works. This works fine. My problem is that, if I have 2 files that include b.h, I will get duplicate symbols for B's guid. For example, suppose we add b.cpp with an empty default constructor, just so that we compile another file. #include "b.h" B::B() { } Let's use the following main: // main.cpp #include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <boost/archive/binary_oarchive.hpp> #include "b.h" int main() { std::ofstream of("mybin.bin"); boost::archive::binary_oarchive oa(of); A* b = new B(); oa << b; return 0; } Which I compile with g++ main.cpp b.cpp -lboost_system -lboost_serialization -o main I get, ld: duplicate symbol boost::archive::detail::extra_detail::init_guid<B>::g If I don't have 2 files, then of course I don't have duplicate symbols and the serialization of the polymorphic object works fine. Any idea how to resolve this issue? Thank you -V

Local and Phoenix idiosyncrasy
by Thomas Heller 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

Hi list, Can we please put an end to this insane idiosyncrasy going on here lately? It doesn't lead to anywhere! Ok, we get it ... people want to write local functions in the usual way. Here is what I have to propose: Why not combine Boost.Local and Boost.Phoenix and keep everybody happy? If the macros provided by Boost.Local would emit some instance of a phoenix::function. It would be great if this could be done completely polymorphic, maybe some tricks with boost::any? That way we gain these advantages: 1) We can get rid of the need to capture variables in scope by the macro. 2) People who don't want to put their functions in global/namespace/class scope and are afraid of writing a phoenix expression don't have to 3) The resulting lazy function will be composable in the usual phoenix way and will be far more useful! 4) We can put an end to this useless Phoenix vs. Local discussion In peace, Thomas

Boost.Thread and Boost.Move collision
by Ion Gaztañaga 01 Dec '11

01 Dec '11

Hi, I've recently received some bugs caused by name collision between Boost.Move and Boost.Thread. Like many other libraries, Boost.Thread has its own move emulation code, and those functions are in the top-level namespace. I guess there is no trivial solution for this. Options: 1) Move Boost.Move elements to boost::move:: namespace 2) Move Boost.Thread elements to boost::thread namespace 3) Modify Boost.Thread to make use of Boost.Move I would like to know your opinion on this as this issue is related to two official Boost libraries. Best, Ion

First of all, this "trivial" example didn't even compile on the first machine I tried it on, which had Boost 1.45 (which doesn't expose qi:_val_type or qi:_1_type). This is a pretty good reminder of the fact that Phoenix remains a fast moving target (1.45 is less than a year old) and still appears unnecessarily baroque to new users (why are typenames that need to be cited in even a basic tutorial prefixed with an underscore?) Local/Closure, on the other hand, seems to have a pretty stable interface at this point. On a machine with 1.48, the example compiles just fine.

There have been several postings to this list in the past about trivial errors (substituting the wrong type or omitting a forward declaration and so forth) that generate hundreds of kilobytes of compiler barf with no apparent relation to what is actually wrong with the source. Yes, the compiler is also largely to blame (although GCC does not seem any worse here than the other mainstream options) and perhaps someday this will finally get better, but I think you grossly underestimate the deterrent effect this has on new users and on wider adoption of Phoenix and similar libraries. Phoenix is great when you really need it, but there's also quite a lot to be said for alternatives (including Boost.Local) that don't build massive, fragile scaffolds of parametric types and in some sense keep what the compiler 'sees' on a given line of source similar to what the programmer sees in a text editor. Don't get me wrong; I think Phoenix is an amazing piece of work, and for someone who needs late binding and lazy evaluation in an expression (or a small DSEL without depending on an external parser generator) it's a godsend. I just happen to believe that you could say the same things about Boost.Local--- if this is what you need, it's *exactly* what you need. Many Boost users may never need local functions, but you could again say the same thing about the vast majority of the 113 official components of 1.48. If you want to keep Boost limited to the bare essentials, it's already far too late. The bar for entry should be that the library is well designed, well documented, well implemented, serves a need that a nontrivial number of users have, and isn't likely to interfere with the implementation of other future language or Boost features, not that it will be used just as frequently as enable_if<> or optional<>. >Keep in mind that Boost has been at the forefront of C++ library development. >It is because of these libraries that push the limits of C++ that we see the >advancement in C++ that we enjoy now in C++11. Case in point is Boost Lambda Hey, that's great. I just think that we all need to recognize that very little C++ software is written with "push the limits of the language" as one of the goals in mind. The participants on this particular list have self-selected for interest in developing state-of-the-art libraries, but most also have day jobs where they're just trying to maintain an existing codebase with minimal hassle for their colleagues and customers, as well as side projects where getting something running quickly and correctly is more important (if not always more interesting) than figuring out just how far we can push overload resolution rules. And probably 99% of Boost users and 99.9% of potential Boost users aren't the kind of programmers on this list and have no interest at all in "pushing the envelope"--- they just want tools with simple, stable syntax and easy debugging, both of which Local offers. Furthermore, no matter how slick your personal environment is, it's a simple fact that there are thousands and thousands of important projects that will never have the benefit of a C++11 compiler for a variety of reasons. I *really* don't understand the criticism from several people about using macros to implement the library. Part of the power of C++ is that its syntax is extensible, and the preprocessor and operator overloading are the two mechanisms that enable that. The preprocessor is part of the language specification, arguably even more so than the standard library since a (nonconforming) implementation that ships with only 10% of the standard library implemented is far more useful in practice than an implementation that ships with only 10% of the preprocessor implemented. Yes, macros can be abused, as can operator overloading (as many would criticize Phoenix), but often they're the most appropriate choice. There should be only two questions here: are there a nontrivial number of users who desire or would benefit from local functions, and is there a better way to provide them than what Lorenzo has chosen? ------------------- Horrific error messages follow --------------------- /usr/include/boost/spirit/home/qi/nonterminal/rule.hpp: In static member function 'static void

Hi I'm using VS2008 and boost 1.45 I have a static library that serializes to an xml file. I have a test app that calls a method within this static library to create the XML file. The following linker problem occurs and I cannot resolve it. Can anyone assist? Error 1 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: void __thiscall BaseState::serialize<class boost::archive::xml_oarchive>(class boost::archive::xml_oarchive &,unsigned int)" (??$serialize@Vxml_oarchive@archive@boost@@@BaseState@@QAEXAAVxml_oarchive@archive@boost@@I@Z) referenced in function "public: static void __cdecl boost::serialization::access::serialize<class boost::archive::xml_oarchive,class BaseState>(class boost::archive::xml_oarchive &,class BaseState &,unsigned int)" (??$serialize@Vxml_oarchive@archive@boost@@VBaseState@@@access@serialization@boost@@SAXAAVxml_oarchive@archive@2@AAVBaseState@@I@Z) dataAPIcpp.lib TestAPI Patrick.

[predef] RFC: Predefined version numbers library..
by Rene Rivera 01 Dec '11

01 Dec '11

Long ago, yes, years ago, I proposed normalizing the variety of ways of defining (in the preprocessor) version numbers and reflecting the predefined version information. As can be seen here <http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl?BoostConfig>. Time traveling to the present I have finally put the finishing touches on the end result of this concept as a "Predef" library. It's now grown to include detection of more types of predefs, almost complete documentation with a reference generated directly from the source, and some utilities on adding new predefs. I'm still working on cross-platform testing. But I thought now would be a good time to ask for comments and for people to try it out. The lib is in the sandbox at <http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/predef>. And the docs can be rad directly from <http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/predef/libs/predef/doc/html/index.ht…>.

Interest in hardware abstraction layer library
by Szymon Gutaj 01 Dec '11

01 Dec '11

Hi Everyone, please share your comments/interest in a library that would ease writing hardware abstraction layers (HAL's) for complex devices (like large ASIC/FPGA). Here's the description: 1. Let's assume that we've got a memory mapped IO device, controlled via its registers. Each register is divided into few bitfields. Each bitfield controls separate functionality and has its properties, like: read/write/special access, numeral/enumerated value type, value signedness, valid value range(s) etc. All these are typically listed in device's specification: +----------------+--------------+ |Register offset |Register name | +----------------+--------------+ |0x12FE |CONTROL_REG1 | +----------------+--------------+ +--------------+--------------+-------+-----------+------------+ |Bits occupied |Bitfield name |Access |Signedness |Value range | +--------------+--------------+-------+-----------+------------+ |31:25 |TEMPERATURE |RA |SIGNED |- | +--------------+--------------+-------+-----------+------------+ |24:1 |FAN_RPM |WA |UNSIGNED |0:6000 | +--------------+--------------+-------+-----------+------------+ |0:0 |ENABLE |RWA |UNSIGNED |0:1 | +--------------+--------------+-------+-----------+------------+ Note: RA: Read Access, WA: Write Access, RWA: Read/Write Access 2. Let's assume that there's a whole family of these ASICs (subsequent generations/revisions). Each new revision differs from previous one only in few details. The point is that we may have few thousand bitfields per ASIC plus revision changes. Coding such amount of information "by hand" is obviously error-prone. Using text processing (perl/python) to translate the specification to code may obfuscate it's nice tabular format (and may miss features/optimisation offered by metaprogramming). 3. Our goal is to create an abstract interface (HAL). Its implementations would "talk to" corresponding bitfields via inner (intermediate) interface. The purpose of that intermediate code would be to: - present bitfield's name exactly "as is in specification", - extract bitfield's value from its register in a typed, endiannes-correct manner, - enforce correct usage (like forbidding writing read-only fields), - provide value validation, - provide value conversion (enumeration-to-numeral etc.), - provide array-style access if needed, - provide debugging features, - and few more cherries on top. The key point is to have most of this code generated from the specification using only simple regexp (to the form required by proposed library). 4. Code snippet (using specification from point 1) - simple and simplified: Let's create an interface with one member function "operate". Implementation of this function will "talk to" bitfields of CONTROL_REG1 through get<BITFIELD> and set<BITFIELD> functions. These functions (and few other utilities) are being generated by the proposed library, using provided metadata. // Definition of HAL interface --------------------------- namespace some_subsystem { namespace driver { class some_controller { public: virtual bool operate() = 0; }; }} // Definition of bitfields (metadata) -------------------- // Concrete device definition enclosed in a dedicated namespace namespace some_subsystem { namespace driver { namespace asic_ver_123 { // Legend: // BOOST_HAL_DEF_REGISTER_BEG(REGISTER_OFFSET, REGISTER_NAME) // BOOST_HAL_DEF_FIELD(MSBIT, LSBIT, BITFIELD_NAME, ACCESS, SIGNEDNESS, VALIDATOR) // BOOST_HAL_DEF_REGISTER_END() BOOST_HAL_DEF_REGISTER_BEG(0x12FE, CONTROL_REG1) // Register definition BOOST_HAL_DEF_FIELD(30, 25, TEMPERATURE, RA, SIGNED, CTP_ESC(no_check)) // CTP_ESC meant for commas escaping BOOST_HAL_DEF_FIELD(24, 1, FAN_RPM, WA, UNSIGNED, CTP_ESC(range<0, 6000>)) BOOST_HAL_DEF_FIELD(0, 0, ENABLE, WA, UNSIGNED, CTP_ESC(range<0, 1>)) BOOST_HAL_DEF_REGISTER_END() }}} // Definition of HAL implementation ---------------------- namespace some_subsystem { namespace driver { namespace asic_ver_123 { class some_controller_impl : public some_controller { public: virtual bool operate() { bool result = false; // Suitable bitfield type is deduced from its definition (but can be manually overridden) // In this case it will be signed char or bigger (CONTROL_REG1::TEMPERATURE = 6 bits) suitable<CONTROL_REG1::TEMPERATURE>::type temperature = 0; // Library automatically generates the bitfield's getter // which reads the register, masks & shifts unrelated bits, // performs (optional) value conversion and (mandatory) cast. // Debugging/logging also possible result = get<CONTROL_REG1::TEMPERATURE>(temperature); // Pass "temperature" by reference // This would not compile, CONTROL_REG1::TEMPERATURE is read-only // result |= set<CONTROL_REG1::TEMPERATURE>(temperature); // Compile error if(true == result && temperature > 20) { // Library automatically generates the bitfield's setter // which performs read-modify-write with value validation result |= set<CONTROL_REG1::FAN_RPM>(1000); result |= set<CONTROL_REG1::ENABLE>(true); // This would return "false" (7000 is an invalid value for FAN_RPM) // result |= set<CONTROL_REG1::FAN_RPM>(7000); } else { result |= set<CONTROL_REG1::FAN_RPM>(0); result |= set<CONTROL_REG1::ENABLE>(false); } return result; } }; }}} // End of snippet ---------------------------------------------- This snippet shows the very basic functionality, anyway please share your opinions if the idea is catchy and suitable for boost! Best regards, -- Szymon Gutaj

typos in boost/atomic/details/interlocked.hpp
by Clark Sims 01 Dec '11

01 Dec '11

It looks like there are a lot of typos in this file. It would not compile on Visual Studio 2005 for me. I fixed all the typos, and now I can compile with no problem. There were lots of cases where the author looks like he forgot to add the variable, order, to the argument list of the function. < atomic_thread_fence(memory_order order) --- > atomic_thread_fence(memory_order) Here is a link to my final version of the file: http://acumensoftwareinc.com/interlocked.hpp Here is the diff of the 2 versions: 10d9 < #include <boost/memory_order.hpp> 33c32 < platform_fence_before(memory_order order) --- > platform_fence_before(memory_order) 38c37 < platform_fence_after(memory_order order) --- > platform_fence_after(memory_order) 43c42 < platform_fence_before_store(memory_order order) --- > platform_fence_before_store(memory_order) 55c54 < platform_fence_after_load(memory_order order) --- > platform_fence_after_load(memory_order) 57,58c56,57 < if (order == memory_order_seq_cst) { < x86_full_fence(); --- > if (order == memory_order_seq_cst()) { > x86_full_fence(void); 89c88 < atomic_thread_fence(memory_order order) --- > atomic_thread_fence(memory_order) 91,92c90,91 < if (order == memory_order_seq_cst) { < detail::atomic::x86_full_fence(); --- > if (order == memory_order_seq_cst()) { > detail::atomic::x86_full_fence(void)
