[quickbook] controlling table of contents
by lcaminiti 14 Apr '12

14 Apr '12

Hello all, Is there a way for more fine control of QuickBook table of contents (toc)? Specifically, I'd like to: 1) Have a toc in the first page with only the sections (no subsections) listed. 2) Then, have a full toc on the second documentation page with all sections and subsections listed. I can use any rev of QuickBook for this. Thanks a lot. --Lorenzo -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/boost-quickbook-controlling-table-of-con… Sent from the Boost - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[lexical_cast] char types and UDTs
by Eric Niebler 13 Apr '12

13 Apr '12

Say I have a wide-character, user-defined, streamable type like boost::wssub_match from the regex library (or now std::wssub_match). It's basically a pair of wstring iterators. It's stream insertion operator is defined like this: template <class charT, class ST, class BiIter> basic_ostream<charT, ST>& operator<<(basic_ostream<charT, ST>& os, const sub_match<BiIter>& m) { return (os << m.str()); } If it's not obvious, it requires that the stream's character type is the same as the BiIter's value_type. If I were to try to use boost::lexical_cast to cast this to something, it won't work. That's because lexical_cast doesn't know about wssub_match, and so doesn't know that its character type should be wchar_t. Instead, it defaults to char for any unknown types, and doesn't give a way to override this. There is an internal trait, boost::detail::stream_char, that lexical_cast uses to determine what the character type of the source is (if any). It's specialized on only a fixed number of types. Since it's an implementation detail, it can't be used to extend the set of types. Also, I tried specializing it. In past versions of Boost that just worked, but it doesn't anymore. I think being able to extend lexical_cast to support types like (std|boost)::wssub_match is an essential feature. Thoughts on how to get there from here? -- Eric Niebler BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

[lockfree] tagged_ptr as a separate library
by Philipp Moeller 12 Apr '12

12 Apr '12

In the review of lockfree it has been suggested that tagged_ptr should make it into the public API of lockfree. Wouldn't it make sense to move it into a separate library entirely? It would possibly get more exposure and cross-platform ports. The technique itself also requires some extra documentation. And it might find it's way into a release earlier than lock-free itself.

Refactoring a library for header-only or linked library?
by Paul A. Bristow 12 Apr '12

12 Apr '12

I am considering refactoring a (potential Boost) library separating declarations and definitions into two sets of files with the objective of reducing compilation times and allow it to be used as header-only or linking with a pre-built library. Is there is best/Boost way of doing this? Is there a Boost library that I should use as a model? ASIO? Should I call the definition files .cpp or .ipp? Should definition files go in libs/src or in boost/? How should I control the header-only/library switch? View and suggestions? Thanks Paul --- Paul A.

[svn/git/hg] Support for modularization of Boost?
by Beman Dawes 11 Apr '12

11 Apr '12

As far as I can see, scaling Boost up to a much larger number of libraries implies decentralization and decoupling, probably in the form of per-library modules or something similar. Modularization seems to have been missed in the discussions of Subversion, Git, and Mercurial. Do distributed version control systems in general and Git in particular have any important advantages/disadvantages over svn for highly modularized projects? Please, let's not waste everyone's time with a rehash of general DCVS vs CCVS pros and cons. We have beat that to death. Let's focus this thread on modularization support, particularly as it applies to Boost. Thanks, --Beman

[range] adaptors vs. rvalue to lvalue& binding
by Arno Schödl 11 Apr '12

11 Apr '12

Hello, ideally I would like to use range-adapted lvalue ranges like any other lvalue ranges. Writing it down naively, as below, does not compile because LoadRefRange takes (and should take?) the range it modifies by lvalue&, while adaptor expressions are rvalues. template<typename Range> void modifies_range( Range& rng ); A a[5]; main() { // modifies all elements of a modifies_range ( a ); // modifies all elements (except for one) of a // adaptor is rvalue, does not compile: modifies_range ( boost::range::join( boost::adaptors::slice( a, 0, 1 ), boost::adaptors::slice( a, 2, countof(a) ) ) ); // compiles, but ugly: auto rng=boost::range::join( boost::adaptors::slice( a, 0, 1 ), boost::adaptors::slice( a, 2, countof(a) ) ); modifies_range(rng); } Any thoughts? Should adaptors receiving lvalues offer an operator adaptor&() &&; // overload on rvalue-ness so they are passing through the lvalue or their argument? A suitable baseclass a la boost::additive could do that.

[function] why do I function1 for type-of emulation?
by lcaminiti 10 Apr '12

10 Apr '12

Hello all, I was trying to use Boost.Function together with Boost.Typeof. It seems that if I run in type-of emulation mode I have to register boost::functionN instead of boost::function even if I only use boost::function... do you know why? For example: #include <boost/function.hpp> #include <boost/typeof/typeof.hpp> #include BOOST_TYPEOF_INCREMENT_REGISTRATION_GROUP() //BOOST_TYPEOF_REGISTER_TEMPLATE(boost::function, 1) // (1) BOOST_TYPEOF_REGISTER_TEMPLATE(boost::function1, 2) // (2) int main() { typedef BOOST_TYPEOF(&boost::function<int (int)>::operator()) f; return 0; } In order to compile this (on MSVC 8.0 and GCC 4.5.3) with BOOST_TYPEOF_EMULATION #defined, I have to register boost::function1 as in line (2) but I'd expect it to work with the registration of boost::function of line (1) instead. Why do I have to register boost::function1 (2) instead of boost::function (1) for type-of emulation?

[Review Request] Multiprecision Arithmetic Library
by John Maddock 10 Apr '12

10 Apr '12

Folks, I'd like to ask for a formal review of the Multiprecision Arithmetic Library, currently in the sandbox. Features: * Expression template enabled front end. * Support for Integer, Rational and Floating Point types. Supported Integer backends: * GMP. * Libtommath. * cpp_int. cpp_int is an all C++ Boost licensed backend, supports both arbitrary precision types (with Allocator support), and signed and unsigned fixed precision types (with no memory allocation). There are also some integer specific functions - for Miller Rabin testing, bit fiddling, random numbers. Plus interoperability with Boost.Rational (though that loses the expression template frontend). Supported Rational Backends: * GMP * libtommath * cpp_int (as above) Supported Floating point backends: * GMP * MPFR * cpp_dec_float cpp_dec_float is an all C++ Boost licensed type, adapted from Christopher Kormanyos' e_float code (published in TOMS last year). All the floating point types, have full std lib support (cos sin exp, pow etc), as well as full interoperability with Boost.Math. There's nothing in principal to prevent extension to complex numbers and interval arithmetic types (plus any other number types I've forgotten!), but I've run out of energy for now ;-) Code is in the sandbox under /big_number/. Docs can be viewed online here: http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/big_number/libs/multiprecision/doc/h… And of course, I'm looking for a review manager ;-) Many thanks, John.

[config] unexpected explicit operators conversion on some compilers.
by Vicente J. Botet Escriba 10 Apr '12

10 Apr '12

Hi, Given the following explicit bool conversion template<typename Mutex> class unique_lock { public: explicit operator bool() const BOOST_NOEXCEPT I was expecting the following code to compile fail (note the int cast) boost::unique_lock<boost::mutex> lk0; int i = int(lk0); It fails with gcc-4.7.0, but compile with gcc-4.6.2 and clang-3.0 (I have not tested yet with msvc). When BOOST_NO_EXPLICIT_CONVERSION_OPERATORS is defined I use the bool safe idiom to emulate the conversion #if defined(BOOST_NO_EXPLICIT_CONVERSION_OPERATORS) typedef void (unique_lock::*bool_type)(); operator bool_type() const BOOST_NOEXCEPT; bool operator!() const BOOST_NOEXCEPT; #else explicit operator bool() const BOOST_NOEXCEPT; #endif and in this case the compile fail as desired. Do we need a new macro to state that even if explicit operators are provide, there are some unexpected conversions that could be introduced? Best, Vicente

[scope_exit] trunk tests fail on sun compiler
by lcaminiti 09 Apr '12

09 Apr '12

Hello all, I'm trying to get ScopeExit to work on Sun. 1) First it looked like all tests fail on this compiler: http://www.boost.org/development/tests/trunk/developer/scope_exit.html 2) However, I installed Solaris Studio 12.3 on my Ubuntu 10 and it seems that I can compile ScopeExit just fine with the following" $ CC -I /usr/include/i386-linux-gnu/ -I ../../.. -DBOOST_TYPEOF_EMULATION world_seq.cpp Note that: a) Sun does not support variadic macros so only ScopeExit sequence syntax will work. b) Sun does not support native type-of so BOOST_TYPEOF_EMULATION needs to be defined. Therefore, all original ScopeExit type-of emulation tests named `emulation_...` should compile (because they use the sequence syntax and define BOOST_TYPEOF_EMULATION). However, they fail... why? 3) Why when I click on the "fail" link for these tests I get no information on the Sun compiler's output? For example: http://www.boost.org/development/tests/trunk/developer/output/Sandia-sun-bo… If I follow this link I get "Error extracting file: No matching files were found.". What does this mean?

Metaprogram benchmarks

In order to measure the compile-time efficiency of various C++11 metaprogramming techniques, I'd like to put together a set of benchmarks, and I wanted to discuss here what kinds of tests might be appropriate. Aleksey and I came up with some benchmarks for an appendix to http://boostpro.com/mplbook/, but some of those are lost and they're all getting a bit crusty. Certainly, I have no confidence that they are realistic or useful. If anyone has ideas about this, I'd be very glad to hear them.

[string_algo] ilexicographical_compare()/is_iless() bug?
by Dmitry Vinogradov 08 Apr '12

08 Apr '12

I want to share a problem using ilexicographical_compare(). I think that ilexicographical_compare() must compare two strings in "alphabetical" order, the order letters appear in alphabet. But ilexicographical_compare() uses is_iless() to compare letters. And such comparison looks like: std::toupper<T1>(Arg1,m_Loc)<std::toupper<T2>(Arg2,m_Loc); So, in fact, letters are compared depending on their position in a charset. It's not always match the alphabet order. Examples are Cyrillic letters "Io" and "i" (Unicode 0451 and 0456). I think the right solution is to compare like this: T1 Ch1 = std::toupper<T1>(Arg1,m_Loc); T2 Ch2 = std::toupper<T2>(Arg2,m_Loc); return std::use_facet< std::collate<typename CharType> > (m_Loc).compare(&Ch1, &Ch1 + 1, &Ch2, &Ch2 + 1);

BTW2, lest this turn into "my extra advanced version control system doesn't do messy stuff like this" conversation - I'm sure you're correct - some other version control system probably doesn't have this trap - but I sure bet it has other traps just as annoying for the unwary.

C++11 Metaprogramming
by Dave Abrahams 07 Apr '12

07 Apr '12

Hi All, I am on the C++Now 2012 schedule giving a talk on metaprogramming in C++11, which is really just supposed to be an overview of the state of the art. I am just at the beginnings of my research for this presentation, having learned a few things and done a few experiments, and it seemed to me foolish not to ask the Boost community for its insights. I'm sure y'all have come up with many neat tricks and techniques. If you'd care to share them here, that would be much appreciated. TIA, -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

This is > not a gotcha, just normal usage of templates. Clearly, if you do not find requiring of the programmers to type this "typename" in these places even slightly wrong, you will not appreciate alias templates as a useful addition to meta-programming. Also, if you did a lot of advanced meta-programming, you have probably mastered the rules of template syntax, and find it difficult to sympathize with those that did not master the subject. But looking at it from the fresh programmer's perspective, the fact that the language requires "to specify whenever dependent names in template contexts are anything else than values" means that the language is not friendly to the fresh programmers (I understand that there are good reasons for requiring this, but still...). Based on the Wkipedia's definition of "gotcha" I interpret this typename as one. "In programming, a gotcha is a feature of a system, a program or a programming language that works in the way it is documented but is counter-intuitive and almost invites mistakes because it is both enticingly easy to invoke and completely unexpected and/or unreasonable in its outcome." It (the usage of typename) only appears as "normal usage" after you are past the stage of surprise. The context of your reply seems to imply that whoever finds this behavior surprising is guilty of not having acquired the basics of the language. Unless I misunderstood you, I think this position is a bit unfair. Regards, &rzej

boost.asio and boost.bind question
by Philip Bennefall 07 Apr '12

07 Apr '12

Hi all, I have been using Asio and Bind for a server with great success, however I just thought of something that I wanted to clarify. If I have a class method and construct a string within this method, and then call post on the IO service with a bind generated function object that takes this local std::string as one of its arguments, is the string then copied? Naturally it will be destroyed after the asynchronous invokation when the method returns, so is it just by chance that this has worked so far? Is it undefined behavior? Example: void dummy() { string final_message="some_data"; the_client->partner_sync.post( boost::bind( &deliver_message, the_client, the_client->partner, final_message) ); } deliver_message is a global function. the_client and the_client->partner are both smart pointers to instances of the client class, and partner_sync is a strand that belongs to the client class. Is this legal usage, or am I messing things up? Do I need to keep the string around until the completion handler is invoked? Or does bind take care of this? I keep the buffer around whenever I use the asynchronous sending methods in Boost Asio as this is explicitly stated in the documentation, but is this case the same? Thanks in advance for any clarifications. Kind regards, Philip Bennefall

[config] BOOST_STL_SUPPORTS_NEW_UNICODE_LOCALES macro?
by Antony Polukhin 07 Apr '12

07 Apr '12

Hi, I'm interested in preprocessor macro, that provides info about std::locale() usability with char16_t and char32_t character types. Currently, some compilers provide new Unicode character types, but calls to std::locale() generate runtime error. I'd like to use that macro to: * provide compile time errors instead of runtime errors * enable/disable some Boost.Lexical_cast tests. Another useful macro would be BOOST_UNICODE_FULL_SUPPORT. It can be defined like this: #if !defined(BOOST_NO_CHAR32_T) \ && !defined(BOOST_NO_CHAR16_T) \ && !defined(BOOST_NO_UNICODE_LITERALS) \ && defined(BOOST_STL_SUPPORTS_NEW_UNICODE_LOCALES) #define BOOST_UNICODE_FULL_SUPPORT #endif -- Best regards, Antony Polukhin

I guess my understanding of the name "meta-programming" might be a bit different, and term "end user" might have been too much a mental shortcut, but let me share my view of someone that doesn't want to go to deep into the meta-programming but still needs to use the simple forms thereof (like type traits). This is a somewhat simplified version of what I was facing recently. I need a function that perfect-forwards the argument but returns by value: template <class T> T fun(T&& v); The above is incorrect, because T may be deduced to be an lvalue reference. But be sympathetic, perfect-forwarding is already hard enough to acquire. I need type trait std::decay: template <class T> std::decay<T> fun(T&& v); But this does not work! I forgot "::type". Let's try again: template <class T> std::decay<T>::type fun(T&& v); No. It still doesn't work. And this is the worst part: I forgot the "typename". Having to type this "typename" is really terrible and just scares off many people. If you do not mind it, it only means that you got used to it; but people should not be forced to get used to too many gotchas. Alias templates offer a simplification that can improve the "teachability" of type traits. You may not consider type traits a proper meta-programming, and all I say might be a bit off topic. But if we had these alias templates for type traits, it looks to me, it would make a soft introduction to meta-programming for the newbies. Regards, &rzej

Belgium C++ Users Group
by Francisco Almeida 05 Apr '12

05 Apr '12

Hello to all, I just subscribed to this mailing list to ask the Boost developer community for anyone actively working on new libraries/library refactoring if they would be interested in presenting to us a lecture about the major changes Boost will undergo, now that the new C++ standard has been published and that support for it is quickly being implemented by the most popular compilers. Of course, assuming any generous Boost developer who happens to live/work in Benelux would be willing to visit us and share his/her experiences/ambitions with us. Best regards, Francisco Almeida

boost::indeterminate and std::vector::emplace_back()
by Arno Schödl 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

Hi, there is a problem when using boost::indeterminate in conjunction with std::vector::emplace_back: std::vector<boost::tribool> v; v.emplace_back(boost::indeterminate); In VS2010, this code causes error C2383: '_Valty' : default-arguments are not allowed on this symbol The error occurs becasue emplace_back's _Valty template parameter is deduced as the type of boost::indeterminate which is a function with a default argument. What is the recommended way to explicitly create an "indeterminate" tribool value in cases like this?

Patch: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/74751/cpp/boost/patches/signals-vc11-fix-20120319-1… Once this is applied the trunk compiles cleanly (well, no errors, there are still lots of warnings) using the VC11 beta.

[propertymap] boost::function as map

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi! I've started working on supporting functors as property maps. I've just seen the commit r77506, with msg "Added function_property_map based on code from Philipp Moeller." So I guess I can stop working on that feature? Maybe regarding a boost::function as a property map all by itself (without make_function_property_map) is a good idea? My work is in ^/boost/sandbox-branches/birbacher/propertymap-functormap, BTW.

Hi! BOOST_PP_ARRAY_PUSH_BACK & BOOST_PP_ARRAY_PUSH_FRONT on empty array leads to invalid code if Boost 1.49 is used. In 1.48 and older it works as expected. An incident was already filed and a sample attached: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/6760 Thanks for solving. Let me know if I can be of further assist. Jan

Mailing list moderation, (how) does it work?
by Lars Viklund 03 Apr '12

03 Apr '12

Hi list. There's a bloke over in the IRC channel that posted a message to the list last wednesday titled '[Endian] library proposal' which seems to be stuck somewhere as it hasn't showed up yet. Is this list still moderated-on-first-post or might there be another root cause for it not appearing? -- Lars Viklund | zao(a)acc.umu.se

[Endian] library proposal
by David Stone 03 Apr '12

03 Apr '12

https://bitbucket.org/davidstone/endian A while back, I had the somewhat common problem of networking in C++. Libraries like Boost.Bind and Boost.Asio proved immensely helpful, but there wasn't anything in Boost that would take care of the byte ordering. Fortunately, I could use the hton family of functions (htonl, htons, ntohl, ntohs) because all of my networking code was 4 bytes or smaller. Later on, I was writing some code that created hashes (specifically MD5 and SHA-2). In the quest for more performance, I tried to maximize the amount of memory I accessed at once (grabbing 4, 8, or even sizeof (uintmax_t) bytes at a time, instead of 1). This also meant that I had to make sure I manipulated those bytes in the proper order, so I went to my networking code and tried to reuse that. However, I quickly ran into some problems, the largest of which is that there is no htonll or similar for 8-byte integers. So I did what any self- respecting programmer would do: I wrote my own using bit shifting. My work paid off, and I was rewarded with a few % increase in performance in my library. I naturally wondered if I could do better, and I found out that yes, I could do better than dynamic endian determination and manual bit shifting. This led me to make a complete library, with the goal of submitting it to Boost. Imagine my surprise to find out that just a few months ago, Beman Dawes submitted his own version of such a library! However, I feel my version offers a few improvements over parts of Dawes's library. My library does not provide any extra integer types. All mine does is convert the representation. For this reason, I feel it would probably be best for the final Boost.Endian library to combine my library with Dawes's. Here is an overview of the features of my library, with emphasis given on the relative strengths of what I have written (in no particular order) * My library uses compiler intrinsics where they exist. Currently, it uses intrinsics with GCC, Clang, MSVC, and (according to the documentation, I haven't tested) ICC. On GCC, where I have done most of my testing, using intrinsics gave a small (but measurable) performance boost. I believe my timings suggested about a 3.5% increase in speed using the intrinsic version vs. using a manual bit- shifting version with compiler options: -Ofast -march=native -funsafe-loop-optimizations which I believe is close to the strongest set of optimizations gcc supports. * My library uses static determination of endianness where possible (as defined in boost/detail/endian.hpp), and dynamic determination of endianness only when that fails. Static determination gave me about a 1.25% increase in speed over dynamic determination (and has slightly smaller memory requirements, but they are probably on the order of one word or two). * My library uses templates to determine which byte reordering function to call. This genericity was essential to support my SHA-2 solution, for instance, because the SHA-2 hashing algorithm is actually a family of 4 functions, half of which use a 32-bit word size, and half of which use a 64-bit word size. I had already minimized code duplication by use of templates, and a template-based solution works much better with generic code (while not inconveniencing non- template code) than functions like htonl / htons. * My library returns results via return value, rather than by reference. This is more natural and likely leads to greater performance (due to not having to reference / dereference built-in types). It also allows const-correct programming. * My library includes thorough unit testing that doubles as a performance test. Compiling the .cpp file and calling it normally is a simple unit test that fully exercises its capabilities (it calls multiple versions of conversion functions and verifies dynamic byte order determination is working as expected). It also accepts an optional command-line argument as an integer that states how many iterations of the unit tests to run. The program then reports how long each test took. * Like Dawes's library, my library does not (yet) include support for floating point numbers. The reason for this is that floating point endianness is not well documented or as consistent. It's possible for there to be little endian floating point numbers and big endian integers on the same machine. Rather than suggest that the problem is solved by adding in support for floating point numbers, attempting to use them will result in a compile-time error. However, thanks to my library's use of type traits, changing around most of the functions is as simple as changing is_integral with is_numeric. I'm not even sure if traditional endianness can describe floating point numbers as a whole, or if (for example) the mantissa and the exponent are each stored in a particular (hopefully identical) endianness. This could lead to numbers with byte ordering like DCBA HGEF (where the first part represents the mantissa and the second the exponent, or perhaps it's the other way around). Basic byte-swapping functions will not cope with this, and as such, I'll need to do more research. * My library supports big-endian, little-endian, and PDP-endian. * I have tested the library with gcc 4.6.2 on Fedora 16 64-bit and Fedora 16 32-bit. I have tested with clang 3.0 on Fedora 16 64-bit. I have tested with MSVC 9 and 11 (I believe those were the versions I used) on Windows 7 64-bit. My code compiles with no warnings in GCC, even when set to the paranoid warning levels described in this post: http://stackoverflow.com/a/9862800 . It nearly compiles cleanly in Visual Studio at /W4, except that it complains about a conditional expression being constant in a template (it's always true for some instantiations, and always false for others). Even with /Wall, it compiled cleanly (other than library code), with the exception of the above mentioned warning about constant conditional expressions, and a few confusing signed / unsigned mismatch warnings. Unfortunately, I do not have a big-endian or pdp- endian machine to test on. However, my MD5 and SHA-2 tests still validate (which they would fail to do if my big-endian routines were wrong). * I'm a little uncertain about my dynamic byte ordering. I currently determine it once and save the result to a global const bool. I'm not sure if that's the best way (but it did give a few % increase in performance over computing it every time). For these reasons, I hope you consider my library for inclusion in Boost. https://bitbucket.org/davidstone/endian

[scope_exit] C++11 freely uses typename (on MSVC10?)
by lcaminiti 03 Apr '12

03 Apr '12

Hi all, Isn't it C++11 supposed to allow to use typename freely even outside type-dependent context? Does MSVC10 support this? For example, is the following supposed to compile on MSVC10? #include <boost/mpl/identity.hpp> int main() { typedef typename boost::mpl::identity<int>::type t; t i = 0; return i; } Note: Using typename freely will allow me to not introduce SCOPE_EXIT_ALL_TPL and still support this_ (not just this). Thanks. --Lorenzo -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/boost-scope-exit-C-11-freely-uses-typena… Sent from the Boost - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[git] Mercurial?
by Daryle Walker 02 Apr '12

02 Apr '12

Git has a competitor called Mercurial? If we're moving to a Distributed-VCS, should we go to Mercurial instead of Git? They're kind-of like CVS vs. Subversion, except I think they came up in parallel. (While Subversion was designed as an updated CVS.) I think Git was made up of a bunch of script hacks, while Mercurial was a regimented single program. I don't have a preference, but I want to make sure we consider the rival options. Daryle W.

[test] Use of namespace qualifier before floating point functions in boost/test/impl/execution_monitor.hpp
by Jeremiah Willcock 02 Apr '12

02 Apr '12

According to http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009604599/basedefs/fenv.h.html, operations such as feclearexcept can be defined as macros, and at least some versions of Glibc do that by default. The use of explicit :: qualifiers before calls to those in Boost.Test fails to compile. Is there a workaround for that (other than __NO_MATH_INLINES)? -- Jeremiah Willcock

[asio] ip::tcp::socket thread safety
by Gaetano Mendola 02 Apr '12

02 Apr '12

Hi all, reading the manual I see that ip::tcp::socket thread safety on shared object is not safe. In my application I'm using: ip::tcp::socket::async_connect boost::asio::async_read( ip::tcp::socket , ...) the application queue an async_read or an async_connect inside the receiving handler (in case of error it retry the connection). >From an external thread (to stop the reception) I perform a: ip::tcp::socket::shutdown ip::tcp::socket::close do I have realy to synchronize the async_connect/async_read with shutdown/close ? Using a mutex to protect those calls seems an overkill, may be shutdown and close can be called in concurrency with async_connect/async_read and the documentation is just conservative?

[quickbook] coloring code syntax
by lcaminiti 02 Apr '12

02 Apr '12

Hello all, Is there a way to tell QuickBook code fragments to color words that are not C++ keyword for example in blue or in other colors? For example, in `int i = 0;` "int" is colored in blue. I'd like that in `requires Copyable<T>` "requires" is colored in blue (or some other color that I can specify). Thanks a lot! --Lorenzo -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/boost-quickbook-coloring-code-syntax-tp4… Sent from the Boost - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[result_of] Test fails on clang trunk and gcc-4.7 due to changes in FDIS
by Michel Morin 01 Apr '12

01 Apr '12

In the code below, const int f(); decltype(f()) i = 0; `i` has type `int` (not `const int`) in C++11. This is because `f()` is a prvalue of a non-class type (i.e. `const int`) and so its cv qualifiers are ignored. C++0x drafts (before FDIS) had a special rule for function calls in decltype: if e is a function call or an invocation of an overloaded operator (parentheses around e are ignored), decltype(e) is the return type of the statically chosen function; but this was removed in FDIS. Clang-3.1 (which will be clang-3.1) and gcc-4.7 seem to have implemented this change, and this change breaks the test case (libs/utility/test/result_of_test.cpp) on those compilers in a C++11 mode. The following are the errors messages: [1] result_of_test.cpp:210:3: error: static assertion failed: (is_same<result_of<const result_of_member_function_template(double)>::type, const double>::value) [2] result_of_test.cpp:211:3: error: static assertion failed: (is_same<result_of<volatile result_of_member_function_template(double)>::type, volatile double>::value) [3] result_of_test.cpp:212:3: error: static assertion failed: (is_same<result_of<const volatile result_of_member_function_template(double)>::type, const volatile double>::value) [4] result_of_test.cpp:239:3: error: static assertion failed: (is_same<result_of<const volatile no_result_type_or_result_of(void)>::type, const unsigned short>::value) [5] result_of_test.cpp:244:3: error: static assertion failed: (is_same<result_of<const volatile no_result_type_or_result_of_template<void>(void)>::type, const unsigned short>::value) Regards, Michel
