error in boost_serialization of static variable
by ashish srivastava 24 Mar '10

24 Mar '10

Hello I am having some problem in executing the code of boost_serialization. I'm trying to serialize the static class member variable. For that purpose I have wrapped the int static variable to tracked_int static variable. Please find the code attached with this mail. This is how I'm running the code and getting the segmentation fault. --------------------------------------------------------- $ g++ test_serialization_linklist.cpp -l boost_serialization $ ./a.out do u want to continue adding more nodes into the link list (y/n) ??y do u want to continue adding more nodes into the link list (y/n) ??y do u want to continue adding more nodes into the link list (y/n) ??n 5 6 6 6 the number of nodes present in the list = 4 Segmentation fault ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The INTERNET now has a personality.

boost::thread SIGABRT when starting thread?
by Sean McAllister 24 Mar '10

24 Mar '10

So I'm trying to get some throughput measurements on an I/O library I'm working on, and I'm currently testing a synchronous mode so that I need two threads, one to read data and one to write. The code is quite simple: template <typename T> void sync_read_loop(pf_istream *in_sock, T *buffer, uint32_t iters) { for (int ii=0; ii < iters; ii++) { (*in_sock) >> buffer; } } template <typename T> void sync_write_loop(pf_ostream *out_sock, T *buffer, uint32_t iters) { for (int ii=0; ii < iters; ii++) { (*out_sock) << buffer; } } template <typename T> void TEST_READ_WRITE(const char* msg, t_pf_type pf_type, bool &all_passed, T (*randnum)(), bool throughput, bool sync) { const size_t BUFF_SIZE = 1024*1024; const size_t ITERS = 32; T* write_buffer = (T*)(new char[BUFF_SIZE*sizeof(T)]); T* read_buffer = (T*)(new char[BUFF_SIZE*sizeof(T)]); if (sync) {

BoostTest: Is BOOST_MESSAGE is not thread safe?
by Dmytro Ovdiienko 24 Mar '10

Guys, I've just noticed BOOST_MESSAGE is not thread safe instruction. It is unbelievable!! I do not want to believe it!!! Try this: #define BOOST_TEST_MAIN #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> #include <boost/thread/thread.hpp> void foo() { for( size_t i = 0; i < 100000000; ++i ) { BOOST_MESSAGE( "111111122222222223333333333" ); } } BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( testBoost ) { size_t const SIZE = 2; boost::thread t[ SIZE ]; for( size_t i = 0; i < SIZE; ++i ) { t[ i ] = boost::thread( &foo ); } for( size_t i = 0; i < SIZE; ++i ) { t[ i ].join(); } } windows XP SP3 32bit VS 2008 SP1 boost 1.42 -- Dmytro Ovdiienko

Hi, I am trying to download the latest boost library from here<http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.42.0/>but failing. is there any problem? isn't it available or I am the only one facing this problem? -- Rushafi ps. I am not sure for which mailing list this mail would be appropriate. if this isn't the correct one then it would be great if the moderators give me some direction.

Linking with Boost on x64
by Iskandar Prins 24 Mar '10

24 Mar '10

Hi all, I have build the bjam tool and then I run the following: bjam toolset=sun stdlib=sun-stlport address-model=64 stage When I try to link with the generated libboost_thread.so I get the following error: ld: fatal: file <my_path>/libboost_thread.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 Does this mean that the libraries are compiled for 32bit instead of 64bit? And how can I fix this? Regards, Iskandar

[Lambda] Lost in lambda land!
by Robert Jones 24 Mar '10

24 Mar '10

Hi Folks, Can anyone tell me why this is wrong? My intention is to call A::f() for each A constructed on-the-fly from the elements of v. Thanks, Rob. #include <boost/lambda/lambda.hpp> #include <boost/lambda/bind.hpp> #include <boost/lambda/construct.hpp> #include <algorithm> #include <vector> struct A { A( int ); void f( ); }; int main( ) { using namespace boost::lambda; std::vector< int > v; std::for_each( v.begin( ), v.end( ), bind( & A::f, bind( constructor<A>(), _1 ) ) ); }

[Bind] Is this how to write it?
by Robert Jones 24 Mar '10

24 Mar '10

Hi All In this bit of code.... #include <algorithm> #include <vector> #include "boost/bind.hpp" struct A { int double_it( int i ) { return i * 2; } } a; std::vector< int > v; int main( ) { for ( std::vector< int >::iterator i = v.begin( ); i != v.end( ); ++ i ) { a.double_it( * i ); } // Write it as a for_each/bind std::for_each( v.begin(), v.end(), boost::bind( & A::double_it, boost::ref( a ), _1 ) ); } Is that last line the idiomatic way of writing the bind expression? Thanks, Rob.

shared_memory_object constructor
by Just C 24 Mar '10

24 Mar '10

I find shared_memory_object constructor semantics to be rather inconvenient for embedding it into another class. Consider the following class A { public: A(int type) : shm_(pass params to the shared_memory_object ctor) { } private: shared_memory_object shm_; }; If my class A is such that a shared_memory_object needs to be called with either create_only or open_only based on the type passed to A's constructor, I can't do it easily. i.e. some thing like A(int type) : shm_(type == something ? create_only : open_only) {} This won't work because create_only & open_only are different types & this will call 2 different overloaded constructors, hence the above code will not compile. Alternatives here are 1) make A a templated class instead of having type as a ctor param. i.e. template <class T> class A { public: A() : shm_(T(), other params) {} }; then use A<create_only> a; A<open_only> b; OR 2) Keep a shared_memory_object ptr inside non-templated class A instead of an actual object and create it dynamically. Assuming, I don't want to use either of these options, is there any other nifty trick anyone can think of to achieve what I want to do?

shared_memory_object & managed_shared_memory
by Just C 24 Mar '10

24 Mar '10

This is what I am trying to do - I have to 2 processes in the same box. - I need to send a buffer of data from one process to another. - The other process reads the data & may want to send something back. - At any time there is only one such buffer in process - i.e. no queue of data to send. - the process will send a new buffer only when it gets acknowledgement back from the other process that it's finished reading it. I am a little unclear as to what I should use here - shared_memory_object or managed_shared_memory - it's not very clear what's the difference between the two. I tried out a sample from the condition_variable example here & it seems to work. http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0/doc/html/interprocess/synchronization_… However, in the example the size of the shared memory is based on the size of the trace_queue object. In my case, the size needs to be configurable. so I am thinking of something like this - no data array inside the struct. struct data { data(void * p) : message_in(false), actualdata(p) {} //Mutex to protect access to data boost::interprocess::interprocess_mutex mutex; boost::interprocess::interprocess_condition cond_empty; boost::interprocess::interprocess_condition cond_full; void * actualdata; bool message_in; }; then shared_memory_object shm (create_only ,"shared_memory" ,read_write ); shm.truncate (sizeof(data) + myconfiguredsize); actual data is beyond the struct which holds the condition variable i.e. when i write data, i will do mapped_region region (shm ,read_write ); void * addr = region.get_address(); data * d = new (addr) data(addr); then //Use the condition_variables to protect the write & then memcpy memcpy(d->actualdata, thedataiwanttocopy, sizeofthedataiwanttocopy); Am I doing this the right way or is there a better way to go about this?

A question on boost mpl used by MTL. Can any one with kindness help me?
by fmingu 24 Mar '10

24 Mar '10

I am using MTL(Matrix Template Library) 4 (the version is mtl4-beta-1-r6916) for Matrix computing in Dev-C++ 4.9.8.0 and updated the gcc version from 3.2 to 4.4.1 by installing tdm-mingw-1.908.0-4.4.1-2 and the boost version is 1.34.1. The sample code is : #include <boost/numeric/mtl/mtl.hpp> int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { using namespace mtl; using namespace mtl::matrix; const unsigned xd= 2, yd= 5, n= xd * yd; dense2D<double> A(n, n); compressed2D<double> B(n, n); hessian_setup(A, 3.0); laplacian_setup(B, xd, yd); typedef std::complex<double> cdouble; dense_vector<cdouble> v(n), w(n); for (unsigned i= 0; i < size(v); i++) v[i]= cdouble(i+1, n-i), w[i]= cdouble(i+n); v+= A * w; w= B * v; std::cout << "v is " << v << "\n"; std::cout << "w is " << w << "\n"; return 0; } But the complier tolde me that : ……………………………… F:\CB2009\boost_1_34_1\boost_1_34_1/boost/mpl/apply_wrap.hpp:81:31: error: missing binary operator before token "(" F:\CB2009\boost_1_34_1\boost_1_34_1/boost/mpl/apply_wrap.hpp:173:31: error: missing binary operator before token "(" ……………………………… And the code in the corresponding lines of apply_wrap.hpp are: …………………………. #elif BOOST_PP_ITERATION_DEPTH() == 1 ……………………… #elif BOOST_PP_ITERATION_DEPTH() == 2 And I do not know how to solve it. Can any one with kindness help me?
