Hi Marshall, I have raised 3 tickets 7111,7112,7113 for some issues in date_time. As the owner of date_time is not active and my earlier bug in date_time was verified by you. So Please verify and commit these bugs also. Thanks. -- Regards, Gaurav

[chrono] time_point.hpp depends on Boost.System; should it?
by Krzysztof Czainski 09 Jul '12

09 Jul '12

Hello, I want to create my own clock class, and in it among other things I would like to typedef a time_point<...>. struct MyClock { typedef int64_t rep; typedef boost::milli period; typedef boost::chrono::duration<rep,period> duration; typedef date_chrono::time_point<SystemClock,duration> time_point; static bool const is_monotonic = false; static time_point now(); }; Now, for this to work I obviously need to #include <boost/chrono/time_point.hpp>. Including it causes a dependency on Boost.System, making me have to link with it. But since I don't use any clocks provided by Boost.Chrono, I think the dependency on Boost.System is unnecessary. In fact, I was able to get rid of the dependency, and everything seems to work. I commented out 1 line from <boost/chrono/time_point.hpp>: //#include <boost/chrono/detail/system.hpp> Could this #include be removed from time_point.hpp, or is it needed for something I am not using ATM? Regards, Kris

[interprocess]

I am either having some problems with the documentation, or I've stumbled into a bug in Boost.Interprocess's named_condition. I'm compiling on VC++ 2010, 32 or 64 bit, with the following test code: #include "stdafx.h" #include <boost/interprocess/sync/named_condition.hpp> #include <boost/interprocess/sync/named_mutex.hpp> int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { boost::interprocess::named_mutex mutex( boost::interprocess::open_or_create, "test" ); boost::interprocess::named_condition condition( boost::interprocess::open_or_create, "test" ); condition.wait( mutex ); return 0; } I get the following compiler errors: 1>------ Build started: Project: TestInterprocess, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------ 1>Build started 09-Jul-12 11:45:22 AM. 1>InitializeBuildStatus: 1> Touching "Debug\TestInterprocess.unsuccessfulbuild". 1>ClCompile: 1> All outputs are up-to-date. 1> TestInterprocess.cpp 1>c:\code\sdks\boost\include\boost-1_50\boost\interprocess\sync\shm\named_condition.hpp(204): error C2248: 'boost::interprocess::interprocess_mutex::mutex' : cannot access private member declared in class 'boost::interprocess::interprocess_mutex' 1> c:\code\sdks\boost\include\boost-1_50\boost\interprocess\sync\interprocess_mutex.hpp(117) : see declaration of 'boost::interprocess::interprocess_mutex::mutex' 1> c:\code\sdks\boost\include\boost-1_50\boost\interprocess\sync\interprocess_mutex.hpp(67) : see declaration of 'boost::interprocess::interprocess_mutex' 1> c:\code\sdks\boost\include\boost-1_50\boost\interprocess\sync\shm\named_condition.hpp(204) : while compiling class template member function 'boost::interprocess::ipcdetail::shm_named_condition::lock_wrapper<Lock>::mutex_type *boost::interprocess::ipcdetail::shm_named_condition::lock_wrapper<Lock>::mutex(void) const' 1> with 1> [ 1> Lock=boost::interprocess::named_mutex 1> ] 1> c:\code\sdks\boost\include\boost-1_50\boost\interprocess\sync\shm\named_condition.hpp(342) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::interprocess::ipcdetail::shm_named_condition::lock_wrapper<Lock>' being compiled 1> with 1> [ 1> Lock=boost::interprocess::named_mutex 1> ] 1> c:\code\sdks\boost\include\boost-1_50\boost\interprocess\sync\named_condition.hpp(156) : see reference to function template instantiation 'void boost::interprocess::ipcdetail::shm_named_condition::wait<L>(L &)' being compiled 1> with 1> [ 1> L=boost::interprocess::named_mutex 1> ] 1> c:\code\projects\testinterprocess\testinterprocess\testinterprocess.cpp(10) : see reference to function template instantiation 'void boost::interprocess::named_condition::wait<boost::interprocess::named_mutex>(L &)' being compiled 1> with 1> [ 1> L=boost::interprocess::named_mutex 1> ] 1>c:\code\sdks\boost\include\boost-1_50\boost\interprocess\sync\shm\named_condition.hpp(204): error C2064: term does not evaluate to a function taking 0 arguments 1> 1>Build FAILED. 1> 1>Time Elapsed 00:00:05.97 ========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ========== I am lead to believe that I should used a named_mutex by the documentation here: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_50_0/doc/html/boost/interprocess/named_cond… which states in the description that "This condition variable is designed to work with named_mutex and can't be placed in shared memory

[1.51][Release] Short release cycle
by Daniel James 08 Jul '12

08 Jul '12

Hello everyone, Just a quick warning that due to the delay releasing 1.50, the 1.51 release cycle is going to be a lot shorter than normal. It's a little under 2 months until the scheduled 1.51 release date. This means that the deadlines are pretty soon. If you haven't checked it yet, please take a look at the calendar at: http://www.boost.org/community/ The current deadline for new libraries and breaking changes is 9th July, which is less than two weeks. If you do have a new library that want to release in 1.51, you should probably let us know very soon. thanks, Daniel

[lockfree/win32] looking for help
by Tim Blechmann 08 Jul '12

08 Jul '12

hi all, i've been trying to sort out some compile problems of boost.lockfree, but now i find myself in a position that for some reasons, the tests on on the windows platform fail ... not only with msvc, but also with gcc/mingw. the main problem that i have is that two test cases compile, but fail at runtime ... unfortunately the error messages are not necessarily expressive: mingw: -- Run [2012-07-04 16:08:25 UTC]: fail EXIT STATUS: -1073741819 -- msvc: -- Running 8 test cases... unknown location(0): fatal error in "spsc_queue_test_buffering": stack overflow ..\libs\lockfree\test\spsc_queue_test.cpp(435): last checkpoint: "spsc_queue_test_buffering" entry. *** 1 failure detected in test suite "Master Test Suite" EXIT STATUS: 201 -- i am pretty clueless, what is happening there ... would it be possible that someone who has a win32 machine can send me a backtrace of this crash? thanks, tim

[Lockfree] examples with clang
by Rich E 08 Jul '12

08 Jul '12

Hi all, I've been attempting to test Lockfree (while at the same time learning to work with boost from trunk, so bare with me I'm a bit new) using Clang 4.0, the version that will ship with Xcode 4.5. It appears that the preprocessor check is only for gcc. If I change: #if __cplusplus < 201103L to #if __cplusplus < 201103L && ( defined( __clang__ ) && ! __has_include(<atomic>) ) and compile the examples with (from libs/lockfree/examples): ../../../bjam toolset=clang cxxflags="-std=c++0x -stdlib=libc++" linkflags="-stdlib=libc++" Then the examples work correctly (queue output: "produced 40000000 objects. consumed 40000000 objects."). I'm sure there is a more elegant way to check for libc++ existence when compiling with clang, possibly with boost/config.hpp? Also, I think a message in the dummy main would be nice to inform the user that lockfree won't work with their current setup / compile method. Cheers, Rich

[context] a couple of build fixes for Solaris (10)
by Luke Elliott 07 Jul '12

07 Jul '12

First is to get the definition of mprotect() that takes void * rather than char * by defining _XPG4_2, which causes a compilation failure with Solaris Studio 12.3. Second is a workaround for a bug in their csignal header which uses the same include guard that signal.h uses, which csignal includes (leaving SIGSTKSZ undefined). Attached if of any help. Regards Luke Elliott.
