[review] [STLInterfaces] STLInterfaces review starts December 10
by Barrett Adair 23 Nov '19

23 Nov '19

The Boost formal review of Zach Laine's STLInterfaces library will take place December 10 - 19, 2019. Please consider participating in this review. The success of Boost depends on our robust library review process. STLInterfaces is a C++14 library targeting ISO standardization. The following templates are provided, all C++20-friendly: 1. iterator_interface - a modern version of the iterator_facade and iterator_adaptor parts of Boost.Iterator 2. view_interface - a pre-C++20 implementation of C++20's eponymous feature 3. container_interface - a tool to eliminate boilerplate when writing new containers.

icl
by Andreas Fislage 22 Nov '19

22 Nov '19

Hello all, I am new here... I recently used icl and ran into a rather surprising behavior: Assertion failed: (numeric_minimum<domain_type, domain_compare, is_numeric<domain_type>::value> ::is_less_than_or(upper(object), is_right_closed(object.bounds())) ), file ...\boost\icl\concept\interval.hpp, line 438 This is the code to produce the problem: #include <boost/icl/discrete_interval.hpp> int main() { boost::icl::discrete_interval<size_t> x{0, 0}; boost::icl::discrete_interval<size_t> y{0, 1}; boost::icl::contains(x, y); } Note that the assertion fails only with size_t not with int. What could be reason for this?

Boost serialization (bug?) issue with MSVC, with vector<shared_ptr> in several libraries
by Nicolas Guillot 22 Nov '19

22 Nov '19

We use boost serialization in ours projects, both on linux (gcc) and Windows. We encounter a problem only on Windows (for "every" versions of Windows (7 and 10) and of MSVC: Visual 2010 and 2015, ie. MSVC++ 10.0 _MSC_VER == 1600 or MSVC++ 14.0 _MSC_VER == 1900). *Here is the problem summarized*, but I need to give more details after: When I serialize a class - which have base class - and have 2 vector of shared_ptr of ClassB, with the same contents, and B inherits from the same base class the serialization works, but the deserialization doesn't ("input stream error"). The following image is here : https://i.stack.imgur.com/osoiF.png (if it's not displayed) [image: enter image description here] <https://i.stack.imgur.com/osoiF.png> Yes, it's very strange: - if I remove the base class, it works. - if I inline the serialization code (empty function) of the base class, it works. - if the 2 vectors don't have the same content, it works !! - if I register the ClassBase in the serialize method of ClassTest, it works. I.e.: // in ClassTest:template <class Archive>void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version) { ar.template register_type<ClassBase>(); ...} *Some details* *When it works* on linux, and when it works on Windows with ClassBase type registration in the archive, we have the same xml output. It's worth noting that: - boost_serialization is version 17 on Windows and 9 on linux (I didn't tried to update boost on linux yet). - On BaseClass xml tag, the tracking_level="1", so we have object_id. *And when it doesn't work* (once again: the serialization of ClassTest is OK, but cannot deserialized "input stream error"): - The main difference is in the serialization of ClassTest: the ClassBase part has no tracking_level. - However it's not the only cause, because if the vectors are differents (same 2 first items, and a third item in one vector), tracking_level of ClassBase in ClassTest part is "0". Last thing, if it can give you some clues: while we debugged our application, we noticed that the deserialization framework tries to deserialize a class into another. It makes me think the serialization framework is confused about the classe types identifications. Could it be a matter of dll linking? Of global static shared storage ? I've posted a visual studio solution here <https://1drv.ms/u/s!Aoy4ax0S3ZS5gkxv1UIvRUd32oVO?e=ACVi4c>. Thanks a lot for your help. And if any clarification is needed, I'm available of course !

[xpressive] Accept one line pull that's been outstanding for a couple years?

Hi Boost, We've been running nightly regression on this for years now at Wind River over a couple Boost releases. Any reason it can't be merged? https://github.com/boostorg/xpressive/pull/5 Thanks Brian

Just made the test, and the validator performs well (memory consumption is about the size of the file, which i is expected since the whole file is read in memory), while the printer memory usage was huge (i had to stop it, but it was at that time already eating more than 1Gbyte memory, which is not expected).

istream_iterator_limited
by Frederick Gotham 21 Nov '19

21 Nov '19

[MODERATOR: I tried to post this a week ago, but for some reason the word SPAM was prefixed to the subject line and so it didn't show up on the GMane server. I don't think many people actually saw it.] - - - - WHY I NEEDED THIS: I wanted to open a file using "ifstream", and then I wanted to read 32 bytes from the file and feed them directly into boost::algorithm::hex. Unfortunately I couldn't do this because 'hex' takes two iterators [begin,end), and there's no alternative function "hex_n". So I had to read the file into a string first, and then pass the string to 'hex'. - - - - THE IDEA I CAME UP WITH: Open the file using "ifstream", and then use a special iterator that will stop reading from the file after 32 bytes, with syntax like this: ifstream logfile("log.txt"); hex( istream_iterator_limited<char>(logfile,32), istream_iterator_limited<char>(), g_some_global_container.begin() ); - - - - SAMPLE CODE: #include <cstddef> /* size_t */ #include <iterator> /* istream_iterator */ template <typename T> class istream_iterator_limited : public std::istream_iterator<T> { protected: std::size_t const m_limit; std::size_t m_current_count; public: /* Shorter names */ typedef std::istream_iterator<T> Base; typedef istream_iterator_limited<T> This; istream_iterator_limited(typename Base::istream_type &obj_stream, size_t const arg_limit) : Base(obj_stream), m_limit(arg_limit), m_current_count (1) { /* The initialiser list above does all the construction work */ } istream_iterator_limited(void) /* This gives the End-Of-Stream iterator */ : Base() , m_limit(0), m_current_count(1) { /* The initialiser list above does all the construction work */ } This &operator++(void) { if ( m_limit <= m_current_count ) { Base::operator=( Base() ); /* Becomes End-Of- Stream iterator */ } else { ++m_current_count; Base::operator++(); } return *this; } }; #include <algorithm> /* copy */ #include <string> /* string */ #include <sstream> /* istringstream */ #include <iostream> /* cout, endl */ #include <iterator> /* back_inserter */ auto main(void) -> int { std::istringstream iss("123456789"); std::string str; /* Let's use copy to read 5 char's into our string */ std::copy( istream_iterator_limited<char>(iss,5), istream_iterator_limited<char>(), std::back_inserter(str) ); std::cout << str << std::endl; str.clear(); /* Get another 3 */ std::copy( istream_iterator_limited<char>(iss,3), istream_iterator_limited<char>(), std::back_inserter(str) ); std::cout << str << std::endl; }
