Hi, I have below queries regarding boost 1.76.0. I have been faced these below queries. 1.how to check boost is statically binded or dynamically binded with my code? is this binding related to virtual concept? 2.how boost interacts with any software? 3. does boost takes our data for any use? ex: when we use sql servers they take our data for testing purpose. Like that does boost take?

regarding exception_ptr
by rajesh daggumati 30 Sep '21

Hi Team, PFB code snippet: try { BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION(std::invalid_argument("Blah")); } catch(...) { boost::exception_ptr exception = boost::current_exception(); const std::invalid_arguement* p; try{ boost :: rethrow_exception(exceptionptr) } catch(std::invalid_argument &e) { p = dynamic_cast<const std::invalid_argument*>(&e) } const std::invalid_argument* actualStdPtr = ExceptionHelper::ExtractConstPtr<std::invalid_argument>(exceptionptr); EXPECT_TRUE(((void*)p) == ((void*)actualStdPtr)) << "Same Object"; //this condition is getting failed. }} static const t* ExtractConstPtr(boost::exception_ptr ep) { try { boost::rethrow_excepton(ep); } catch(T &e){ const T* exceptType = dynamic_cast<const T*>(&e); return exceptType; } catch (std::exception & e){ const T* exceptType = dynamic_cast<const T*>(&e); return exceptType; } } //EXPECT_TRUE(((void*)p) == ((void*)actualStdPtr)) -->what will be the reason to get failed as I do same thing in both cases.

HI Team, // i have caught exception in exception_ptr and I and trying to convert to ExceptionPtr_t but I am facing issue at below derived->severity(). * unknown file: error: SEH exception with code 0xc0000005 thrown in the test body.* *code snippet is :* *E*xceptionPtr_t ExceptionHelper::TryGetExceptionPtr(boost::exception_ptr exception) { ExceptionPtr_t result ; std::string res; if(!exception) return result; try { boost::rethrow_exception(exception) *}catch(boost::exception &e)* *{boost::throw_file::value_type const* throw_file_data = boost::get_error_info<boost::throw_file>(e);* *if(* *throw_file_data)* *{* * result = exceptionPtr_t(new ExceptionWrapper(exception,*throw_filed_data,true))* *}* *return result;* *}* class Exception : public virtual std::exception, public virtual boost::exception { protected: string what; serviorytype m_severity; public: explicit Exception(const std::string& what); virtual ~Exception() throw() {} // we have some member functions like severity(),setseverity(value)... } class ExceptionWrapper : public Exception { private: string m_what_inner; boost::exception_ptr m_inner; public: explict ExceptionWrapper(boost::exception_ptr inner,string &what() = std::string,bool copythrow = true); explict ExceptionWrapper(boost::exceptionPtr_t inner,string &what() = std::string,bool copythrow = true); virtual ~ExceptionWrapper() throw(){} // some methods like severity(),setSeverity(value),.....) } I was doing like: const Exception* derived = reinterPret_cast<const Exception*> (&exception)// here exception is type of exception_ptr if(derived) { derived->severity(); // here exception is coming... if i put this line in try block then its going for catch block and new exception is being rasied. if i dont put try block then *unknown file: error: SEH exception with code 0xc0000005 thrown in the test body.* } Please help me to resolve this issue

Simple boost fix for sparc64

Hi Team, I am preparing a document for boost library(1.76.0) to be used in our organisation. as part of documnet, I need some information. 1.Regarding data integrity and security of gtest and how it interacts with any software. 2.if we use boost, we see any access violation or data stealing? 3.is there any group who supports on cyber security while we are using boost 1.76.0 Please kindly answer above 3 queries. Regards, Raesh D

New to boost

Hi Team, in my code,I had to write like below: const int* p = boost::get_error_info<boost::throw_line>(exception); But while building the code,I am facing issue like below: error C2683: 'dynamic_cast':'boost::exception_ptr' is not a polymorphic type.. Then I have added one dummy virtual function in exception_ptr class then this issue got resolved but I am getting some test cases failed at this line: Const int* p = boost::get_error_info<boost::throw_line>(exception); Please help me where will be the issue is.what will be the solution.

Published various template libraries...
by David Bien 22 Sep '21

22 Sep '21

That I have been working on over the past 23 years (when not working for actual money). Directed Graph Template Library: https://github.com/davidbien/dgraph Original email to boost mailing list from year 2000: https://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2000/04/2834.php Lexical Analyzer Generator Template Library: https://github.com/davidbien/lexang Original email to boost mailing list from year 2000: https://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2000/04/2837.php This depends on the dgraph git submodule above. The above are written in "old" C++ - but updated to compiler in the latest compilers (MSVC, clang11). Built on the above: XML Parser/Writer/DOM Template Library: https://github.com/davidbien/xmlpinc This I developed over the last winter. It is written in C++20 and requires msvc19 or clang11. I heavily use C++20 concepts. There is a lack of documentation. As well: XML Parser/Writer/DOM Development Environment: https://github.com/davidbien/xmlp This contains the LEX specifications (which are written using overridden C++ operators in a namespace) that produce the state machines for UTF8, UTF16 and UTF32 versions of the XML parser - which are then, upon modification, checked into: https://github.com/davidbien/xmlpinc This as well requires the nearly latest versions of MSVC or clang. Once again: There is a lack of documentation. I don't use boost in these libraries - preferring not to have a dependency on it. I also published: https://github.com/davidbien/bienutil Which contains a lot of stuff from year 2000, but also contains some new stuff which is pretty cool: 1. An actually performant and memory-conservative implementation of a Van Emde Boas Tree: https://github.com/davidbien/bienutil/blob/master/_vebtree.h 2. An "exponential chunked array" (misnamed as "logarray.h") that uses a single piece of memory initially: https://github.com/davidbien/bienutil/blob/master/_logarray.h 3. A bunch of other stuff that I wrote back in 2000 since there wasn't much available back then in terms of C++ utility templates. There is a testbed for the dgraph impl but I haven't yet converted them to CMAKE/googletest. There is also a testbed for the vebtree impl but once again not converted to CMAKE/googletest. (I only have so many fingers). Anyway, I'd like to know what people think. The XML parser is meant to be fully compliant with XML Version 1.0 and meant to be a development environment that can be used to extend to full compatibility. I am currently working on a Parser Generator Template Library (think replacement for yacc or bison) that will work with my LEX replacement and allow use of the LEX terminals in the EBNF for the parser specification (which will again be encoding using C++ overridden operators in a namespace). Sincerely, David Bien
