Proper way to change a cached shared pointer
by Stephen Torri 04 Apr '07

I have a class which is containing a shared_ptr to data. This class parses in a XML file and populates the data based upon the contents. There is a memory problem in this file where I reset the shared_ptr. class Graph; class Parser { public: boost::shared_ptr<Graph> parse ( std::string filename, std::string directory ) { // Line 110 Formula_Parser.cpp m_graph.reset ( new Graph() ); ... parse file ... return m_graph; } private boost::shared_ptr<Graph> m_graph; }; The error I am getting is saying that the problem appears to be in the ==28769== by 0x4154024: libreverse::api::Reverse::execute(std::string const&, unsigned const&, unsigned const&) (Reverse.cpp:128) ==28769== by 0x8055869: main (reverse.cpp:50) ==28769== Address 0x4389BC0 is 8 bytes inside a block of size 60 alloc'd ==28769== at 0x4005BA5: operator new(unsigned) (vg_replace_malloc.c:163) ==28769== by 0x41968E1: libreverse::infrastructure::Formula_Parser::get_Graph(std::string, std::string) (Formula_Parser.cpp:110) ==28769== by 0x419351E: libreverse::infrastructure::Configurator::get_Graph(unsigned, unsigned) (Configurator.cpp:110) ==28769== by 0x4153FBC: libreverse::api::Reverse::execute(std::string const&, unsigned const&, unsigned const&) (Reverse.cpp:115) ==28769== by 0x8055869: main (reverse.cpp:50) ==28769== ==28769== Uninitialised byte(s) found during client check request ==28769== at 0x4161176: libreverse::api::Reverse_Impl::print_Graph(libreverse::infrastructure::Component_Graph const&, std::string) const (Reverse_Impl.cpp:184) ==28769== by 0x4161D96: libreverse::api::Reverse_Impl::execute_Input_Section(boost::shared_ptr<std::map<std::string, boost::shared_ptr<libreverse::infrastructure::Component_Graph>, std::less<std::string>, std::allocator<std::pair<std::string const, boost::shared_ptr<libreverse::infrastructure::Component_Graph> > > > > const&, boost::shared_ptr<libreverse::infrastructure::Data_Source_Base const>, boost::shared_ptr<libreverse::infrastructure::Component>) (Reverse_Impl.cpp:45) ==28769== by 0x4154024: libreverse::api::Reverse::execute(std::string const&, unsigned const&, unsigned const&) (Reverse.cpp:128) ==28769== by 0x8055869: main (reverse.cpp:50) ==28769== Address 0xBE9D82CC is on thread 1's stack Visiting node: 1

Proper way to change a cached shared pointer

Sorry for the duplicate. I hit a weird set of key strokes and the email was sent. I have a class which is containing a shared_ptr to data. This class parses in a XML file and populates the data based upon the contents. There is a memory problem in this file where I reset the shared_ptr. Am I right in interpreting the output of valgrind that the problem is at Line 110 in Formula_Parser.cpp or is it somewhere else? I thought it was in Formula_Parser.cpp so I printed out here what is happening in the function. I am trying to create a Graph pointer where data will be added to it when the XML parser calls back endElement. So I cannot pass the pointer to the graph as a part of the XML calls without editing that library. So I made it a member variable to the class. The idea is that the Graph is populated with Components and then returned at the end of parse(). Am I correctly resetting m_graph? Stephen ---------------- class Graph; class Parser { public: boost::shared_ptr<Graph> parse ( std::string filename, std::string directory ) { // Line 110 Formula_Parser.cpp m_graph.reset ( new Graph() ); ... parse file ... return m_graph; } void endElement ( ... ) { // Add item to m_graph m_graph.add ( new Component ); } private boost::shared_ptr<Graph> m_graph; }; ==28769== Uninitialised byte(s) found during client check request ==28769== at 0x4161127: libreverse::api::Reverse_Impl::print_Graph(libreverse::infrastructure::Component_Graph const&, std::string) const (Reverse_Impl.cpp:183) ==28769== by 0x4161D96: libreverse::api::Reverse_Impl::execute_Input_Section(boost::shared_ptr<std::map<std::string, boost::shared_ptr<libreverse::infrastructure::Component_Graph>, std::less<std::string>, std::allocator<std::pair<std::string const, boost::shared_ptr<libreverse::infrastructure::Component_Graph> > > > > const&, boost::shared_ptr<libreverse::infrastructure::Data_Source_Base const>, boost::shared_ptr<libreverse::infrastructure::Component>) (Reverse_Impl.cpp:45) ==28769== by 0x4154024: libreverse::api::Reverse::execute(std::string const&, unsigned const&, unsigned const&) (Reverse.cpp:128) ==28769== by 0x8055869: main (reverse.cpp:50) ==28769== Address 0x4389BC0 is 8 bytes inside a block of size 60 alloc'd ==28769== at 0x4005BA5: operator new(unsigned) (vg_replace_malloc.c:163) ==28769== by 0x41968E1: libreverse::infrastructure::Formula_Parser::get_Graph(std::string, std::string) (Formula_Parser.cpp:110) ==28769== by 0x419351E: libreverse::infrastructure::Configurator::get_Graph(unsigned, unsigned) (Configurator.cpp:110) ==28769== by 0x4153FBC: libreverse::api::Reverse::execute(std::string const&, unsigned const&, unsigned const&) (Reverse.cpp:115) ==28769== by 0x8055869: main (reverse.cpp:50) ==28769== ==28769== Uninitialised byte(s) found during client check request ==28769== at 0x4161176: libreverse::api::Reverse_Impl::print_Graph(libreverse::infrastructure::Component_Graph const&, std::string) const (Reverse_Impl.cpp:184) ==28769== by 0x4161D96: libreverse::api::Reverse_Impl::execute_Input_Section(boost::shared_ptr<std::map<std::string, boost::shared_ptr<libreverse::infrastructure::Component_Graph>, std::less<std::string>, std::allocator<std::pair<std::string const, boost::shared_ptr<libreverse::infrastructure::Component_Graph> > > > > const&, boost::shared_ptr<libreverse::infrastructure::Data_Source_Base const>, boost::shared_ptr<libreverse::infrastructure::Component>) (Reverse_Impl.cpp:45) ==28769== by 0x4154024: libreverse::api::Reverse::execute(std::string const&, unsigned const&, unsigned const&) (Reverse.cpp:128) ==28769== by 0x8055869: main (reverse.cpp:50) ==28769== Address 0xBE9D82CC is on thread 1's stack

boost_1_33_1\libs\serialization\vc7ide\Library.vcproj settings
by Oleg V. Zhylin 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Hi, I've just discovered an inconsistency in settings of Library VC7 project for serialization. For Debug builds the target in project settings is libboost_serialization-vc71-s-gd-1_33_1.lib while according to auto_link.hpp "s-gd" should rather be "sgd". Will this be fixed in next release?

[wave::token_type] Checking if the token_type instance is empty
by Ovanes Markarian 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Hello Hartmut, I have a question and may be small interface change to the token_type. Currently there is no "legal" way to check if a token type instance is empty, than using token_id operator and comparing it with T_EOI (which is not really documented, available in the header and default ctor of impl::token_data only). Why did I need it: I have a state machine class which preserves the look ahead. Now when I construct the state machine, the look ahead is default constructed. In particular states I have to distinguish if there is look ahead available or not and take some actions accordingly. Now I would need to rely on the following comparison: BASEID_FROM_TOKEN(T_EOI)==tok.operator token_id(); Instead it would be more flexible to write tok.empty(). I am not sure if this convinces you, but at least T_EOI should be documented (I am still using old documentation 1.33.1). The docs should also state that empty token has this type. On the other hand I don't know where else T_EOI is used and how to distinguishe this case then. I would appreciate the empty member function, which can greatly ease the life ;) With Kind Regards, Ovanes Markarian

identify boost thread
by Goroll, Torsten 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Hi, I'm looking for a way, to identify a boost::thread from inside the thread. The background is, that I want to log into a global logger, which has to know from which thread the message was sent. I have thought at using the pointer of the class as an identifier, but that won't work if two threads are from the same class. Maybe it is possible to save a pointer to the member methods??? Kind Regards Torsten
