Hi Team, While doing typecasting from boost::any to DecodeErrorPayload_t, its throwing bad_any_cast .. class RegisterIONotification { public: enum NotifyType { TypeUnknown, TypeRegTx, TypeRegRx, TypeDecodeError }; NotifyType Type; boost::any Payload; typedef boost::tuple<std::string, BinaryBuffer_t> DecodeErrorPayload_t; RegisterIONotification(NotifyType type;,boost::any payload) { Type(type); Payload(payload); } }; I have called RegisterIONotification from other class function. void RegisterIOThreaded::OnDecodeError( const std::string& error, BinaryBuffer_t data ) { RegisterIONotification notify(RegisterIONotification::TypeDecodeError ,make_tuple(error, data)); ..... .... ... } While testing, I am getting bad_any_cast exception. TEST_F(...,...) { RegisterIONotification notify = sink.GetDataById(ID::NOTIFY_COMMS_STATUS, 0).GetValue<RegisterIONotification>(); ASSERT_EQ(RegisterIONotification::TypeDecodeError, notify.Type); //passed RegisterIONotification::DecodeErrorPayload_t payload; ASSERT_NO_THROW(payload = boost::any_cast<RegisterIONotification::DecodeErrorPayload_t>(notify.Payload));// Here its got failed...Please help me to fix this. } Regards, Rajesh D Please be advised that this email may contain confidential information.

The fact that you called the function spawn_fiber() in a sense confirms this.

[fusion] add support for view construction from movable view
by herve martin 28 Nov '21

28 Nov '21

Hi, When working with view of boost::fusion I feel something frustrated because of the limited set of possible constructors. Indeed, apart from copy constructor, views usually only provide constructors taken l-value reference on sequence as input. I would like to extend the constructors set of views with some new ones which would also accept r-value references on view as input. This would allow some fancy combination at construction time as for example: vector <https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_77_0/libs/fusion/doc/html/fusion/container…><bool> v0(true);vector <https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_77_0/libs/fusion/doc/html/fusion/container…><int, char> v1(3, 'x');vector <https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_77_0/libs/fusion/doc/html/fusion/container…><std::string, int> v2("hello", 123); using view1 = joint_view< vector <https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_77_0/libs/fusion/doc/html/fusion/container…><int, char> , vector <https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_77_0/libs/fusion/doc/html/fusion/container…><std::string, int>>;using view = joint_view< vector <https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_77_0/libs/fusion/doc/html/fusion/container…><bool> , view1>; view aview = view(v0, view1(v1, v2));std::cout << aview << std::endl; I would be glad to contribute to the boost library by updating the boost::fusion views with some new constructors bu I'm not familiar with development in boost. What would be the next step to give a chance to my proposal to integrate boost ? Best regards, Herve

Adding my sorting algorithm, ska_sort, to boost, attempt 2
by Malte Skarupke 24 Nov '21

24 Nov '21

Hi everyone, I started a discussion about this in October, but at the time the maintainer of the sort library was busy, then I was busy, so now it's January... I wrote a generalized version of radix sort a couple years ago and gave a talk about it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqs87a_7zxw I would like to get a new version of that sorting algorithm into boost. It's faster than what I showed several years ago. It's also even more general and has a new interface that should be easier to extend. I uploaded the code here: https://github.com/skarupke/sort/tree/master The documentation is also already updated with new benchmark results. Let me know what's required to get this into boost. Would you like this in the form of a pull request? One of the big things that probably needs review is the interface, since radix sorting works differently than comparison based sorting. For most normal uses you just need to provide a sort key, but more complicated cases can get more complicated. I tried very hard to make everything easy, but I'd also be curious if others can come up with better ways of doing the interface. Thanks, Malte -- Malte Skarupke malteskarupke(a)fastmail.fm
