Expansion of Boost.Algorithm
by ATHARVA VEER 06 Aug '19

06 Aug '19

Greetings to all! I am planning to expand Boost.Algorithm by including more of general purpose algorithms to it. But since I don't know the future roadmap of the module, I cannot suggest changes right now. Also I have couple of algorithms in my mind that I think would be great if they are part of Boost but I don't know if Boost.Algorithm is the right place to include them. So I was wondering if anyone is willing to mentor me (as in review my work and suggest changes before merging) and we could discuss what we could include in Boost.Algorithm or appropriate module to include them. Brief about myself:- I am junior year college student and I have some experience working in open-source. I haven't contributed to Boost before but have used Boost libraries in day to day life. Thank you!!

Boost 1.71.0 Beta 1 and Quantlib 1.15
by Cg K 06 Aug '19

06 Aug '19

Gentlemen, Please read this message from Quantlib Dev board <https://sourceforge.net/p/quantlib/mailman/message/36730686/> In short, I was not able to compile Quantlib 1.15 with Boost 1_71_0_b1_rc1 I was able to compile it with 1.70 with some creativity. See here. <https://sourceforge.net/p/quantlib/mailman/message/36732240/> I have a complete list of the errors and messages. It is some 36 pages long and thought it best not to attach. If anyone wants it I will gladly send it to them privately. kaucher(a)gmail.com

ASIO socket wired observation
by JH 03 Aug '19

03 Aug '19

Hi, I have been using asio tcp socket on desktop Ubuntu for years, but I have never seriously run interface connections in a LTE embedded system, here is what I have observed wired thing: - Client initialized TCP socket connection to remote server, the connection was established. - Client sent data to server via Internet every one minute, all good. - Somehow, the LTE connection dropped, there was no any network connection available, but the client keep sent messages, there was no error about the network connection, the message obvious could not go Internet, it accumulated in the RAM, the original each message size was 79 bytes, the size was accumulated became 52790 bytes, it kept going for ever until I terminate the client program. ....... Send message size: 52790 Send message size: 52869 Send message size: 52948 ..... Is it normal behavior of ASIO socket or what I did wrong here? Appreciate your insight tips to fix this problem to trig client socket error not keeping sending message going no way. Thank you. Kind regards, - jupiter

How safer to use boos::shared_from_this() from derived class inherited from based class?
by JH 02 Aug '19

02 Aug '19

Hi, I have a derived base class: class Base : boost::enable_shared_from_this<Base> { public: Base(); virtual ~Base(); virtual boost::shared_ptr<Base> SharedFromThis(void) {return shared_from_this();} private: } class Derived : public Base { public: Derived(); ~Derived(); // boost::shared_ptr<Derived> SharedFromThis(void) {return boost::static_pointer_cast<Derived>(shared_from_this());} private: }; Applications are sharing the derived class, it can either use shared_ptr<Derived> or shared_ptr<Base> by calling the SharedFromThis(), three options: (1) Don't define derived class own SharedFromThis(), always call Base SharedFromThis() to pass shared_ptr<Base> as Derived shared_ptr, the reference count will be shared_ptr<Base>. (2) Define derived class its own SharedFromThis() and pass shared_ptr<Derived> to applications: boost::shared_ptr<Derived> SharedFromThis(void) {return boost::static_pointer_cast<Derived>(shared_from_this());} That one cannot be virtual as conflicted to Base SharedFromThis(), the reference count will always be boost::shared_ptr<Derived> (3) Mixed both boost::shared_ptr<Derived> and boost::shared_ptr<Base> in applications, that could be a bad option to cause segmentation as one shared_ptr could be ended before another shared_ptr. Which option will be safer? Thank you. Kind regards, - jupiter

MSVC 2019
by Cg K 27 Jul '19

27 Jul '19

I recently installed Visual Studio 2019 and then Boost and Quantlib. I tried to compile Quantlb with the precompiled 1.70 boost. I go the error message: LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_unit_test_framework-vc142-mt-gd-x64-1_70.lib' It appears that compatibility with Visual Studio/MSVC 2019 has not been worked out in 1.70 given its release date was so close to the release date of Visual Studio 2019. I also noted the the beta for 1.71 was closed. Wondering if the beta fixes this or is there a workaround or is this a user error?

RSS1/RSS2/ATOM + P2P
by Ggh 27 Jul '19

27 Jul '19

Dear All, I invite you all to a debate/brainstorming on implementing an RSS library for boost, as well as an RSS+p2p protocol on the application layer on the TCP/IP stack. I do not claim that RSS should have an implementation in boost, however I think it might be a good idea. Lots of activity on http/application layer of the web and perhaps we/boost developers should consider an RSS extention to boost of RSS/Atom, with P2P capabilities. As always, comments and critisism is velcome. Thank you, Cheers Greg Tell me, and I forget. Ask me, and I discover...

boost::serialization optional does not use boost::serialization::access

Hi, this simple program will not compile. The only way to make it work is to make a public default constructor. This defeats the purpose of boost::serialization::access.

[gil] Missing doc/html/ files from Boost 1.70
by Mateusz Loskot 24 Jul '19

Hi, I'm following up this old report of mine [1] about missing GIL docs. Apparently, GIL documentation was not generated during the release process, so no files were copied wherever they should be. The documentation is missing from: - boost_1_70_0 source archives - https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_70_0/libs/gil/ Is it possible to fix the website at least, redirect it to valid URL? Can I fix it myself? How? [1] https://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2019/04/245985.php Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net

[BOOST] Boost fusion testcase fails with llvm and gcc when optimization enabled
by Jaydeep Chauhan 22 Jul '19

Hi Devs, consider below boost testcase, boost_1_70_0/libs/fusion/test/functional/invoke.cpp when compiles with optimization enabled, $g++ -O2 -I./boost_1_70_0 boost_1_70_0/libs/fusion/test/functional/invoke.cpp $./a.out ./boost_1_70_0/libs/fusion/test/functional/invoke.cpp(391): test 'that.data == fusion::invoke(& members::data, fusion::join(sv_obj_c_ctx,seq))' failed in function 'void test_sequence_n(Sequence&, mpl_::int_<0>) [with Sequence = boost::fusion::vector<>]' ./boost_1_70_0/libs/fusion/test/functional/invoke.cpp(401): test 'that.data == fusion::invoke(& members::data, fusion::join(sv_obj_c_d_ctx,seq))' failed in function 'void test_sequence_n(Sequence&, mpl_::int_<0>) [with Sequence = boost::fusion::vector<>]' ./boost_1_70_0/libs/fusion/test/functional/invoke.cpp(391): test 'that.data == fusion::invoke(& members::data, fusion::join(sv_obj_c_ctx,seq))' failed in function 'void test_sequence_n(Sequence&, mpl_::int_<0>) [with Sequence = boost::fusion::list<>]' ./boost_1_70_0/libs/fusion/test/functional/invoke.cpp(401): test 'that.data == fusion::invoke(& members::data, fusion::join(sv_obj_c_d_ctx,seq))' failed in function 'void test_sequence_n(Sequence&, mpl_::int_<0>) [with Sequence = boost::fusion::list<>]' 4 errors detected. And When compiled without any optimization $g++ -O0 -I./boost_1_70_0 boost_1_70_0/libs/fusion/test/functional/invoke.cpp $./a.out No errors detected. $g++ --version Target: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu Configured with: ../gcc-9.1.0/configure -- --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-libquadmath --disable-libquadmath-support --disable-werror --disable-bootstrap --enable-gold Thread model: posix gcc version 9.1.0 (GCC) Here we demonstrated the test case with g++ but same can be seen with clang++. When analyzed further we have seen that this is [ boost_1_70_0/boost/fusion/functional/invocation/invoke.hpp:139 ] trying to return local address, which is undefined behavior. And that lead to above test-case failure. So either we have to modify test-case to pass as reference or disable it.But before going ahead like to know your thought/suggestions? Thanks, Jaydeep

Lambda testcase fails when optimization enabled in gcc and llvm
by navya deepika garakapati 19 Jul '19

19 Jul '19

Hi Devs, consider below reduced testcase from boost lamda. $cat result_of_tests.cpp #include <boost/lambda/lambda.hpp> #include <stdio.h> template<class A, class F> typename boost::result_of<F(A)>::type apply1(F f, A b) { return f(b); } using namespace boost::lambda; int main(int, char *[]) { int one = 1; int d= (apply1<int>(_1 ,one) == 1); printf("\n%d\n",d); return 0; } when compiled with optimization O2 $g++ result_of_tests.cpp -I ./boost_1_70_0 -O2 $./a.out 0 And,when we compile same testcase with O0 $g++ result_of_tests.cpp -I ./boost_1_70_0 -O0 $./a.out 1 The above testcases is demonstrated with g++ compiler but behavior is same on clang as well. so we thought that this may be boost testcase issue. When we replace , int d= (apply1<int>(_1 ,one) == 1); with int d= (apply1<int&>(_1 ,one) == 1); testcase gives correct result with or without optimization. Wanted to confirm here,is it valid testcase or we have to modify testcase as per above? Thanks, Navya

Review request for LEAF, review manager needed
by Emil Dotchevski 19 Jul '19

19 Jul '19

I'm requesting a formal review for LEAF, a C++11 error-handling library: https://zajo.github.io/leaf. Features: * Header-only, no dependencies. * No dynamic memory allocations. * Compatible with std::error_code, errno and any other error code type. * Can be used with or without exception handling. LEAF comes complete with its own result<T> type, but it is compatible with any other type with value-or-error variant semantics (like outcome::result<T>) as long as .error() returns a std::error_code. https://travis-ci.org/zajo/leaf https://ci.appveyor.com/project/zajo/leaf
