[Function][Bind] Strange problem with g++ 4.5
by Maxime van Noppen 17 May '10

17 May '10

Hi, I've got a very strange problem with Boost.Function used in conjunction with Boost.Bind with g++ 4.5.0. Here is the minimal test case: ----------------gtest.cc--------------------------------- #include <boost/bind.hpp> #include <boost/function.hpp> #include <iostream> int fun(const int* id) { std::cout << "id: " << id << std::endl; std::cout << *id << std::endl; return 0; } int main() { typedef boost::function<int ()> func_t; int id = 42; std::cout << "id: " << &id << std::endl; func_t f = boost::bind(&fun, &id); //std::cout << f << std::endl; func_t g = f; g(); return 0; } ------------------------------------------------- When compiled with -O2 the program crashes: ------------------------------------------------- $ g++ -O2 gtest.cc && ./a.out id: 0x7fff3f7f85ec id: 0 Segmentation fault ------------------------------------------------- The problem seems to be inlining, when compiled with -O0 or -O2 -fno-inline everything works fine: ------------------------------------------------- $ g++ -O2 -fno-inline gtest.cc && ./a.out id: 0x7fff32b81a9c id: 0x7fff32b81a9c 42 $ g++ -O0 gtest.cc && ./a.out id: 0x7fff960b270c id: 0x7fff960b270c 42 ------------------------------------------------- What is very strange is that if I uncomment the std::cout of f everything works fine: ------------------------------------------------- $ g++ -O2 gtest.cc && ./a.out id: 0x7fff738619ac 1 id: 0x7fff738619ac 42 ------------------------------------------------- If the Boost.Function is not copied to g (ie, use f) everything works. Everything works fine with g++ (GCC) 4.4.3 20100316 (prerelease). I'm using Linux x86_64 with boost 1.42 and 1.43. Any idea of what may be going wrong here? -- Maxime

linking for release, has debug baggage
by Dan Bloomquist 17 May '10

17 May '10

Hi, I have a large project and for what ever reason if I add xpressive.hpp in my precompiled header, it completly kills intelligence. So I figured I'd move the stuff I want to use off to a lib. Works fine in debug but if I build the release, this lib tries to link in the Microsoft debug libs. In my project: 1>mfcs90.lib(nolib.obj) : warning LNK4098: defaultlib 'mfc90d.lib' conflicts with use of other libs; use /NODEFAULTLIB:library 1>mfcs90.lib(nolib.obj) : warning LNK4098: defaultlib 'mfcs90d.lib' conflicts with use of other libs; use /NODEFAULTLIB:library and just this one in the test solution: 1>msvcrt.lib(cinitexe.obj) : warning LNK4098: defaultlib 'msvcrtd.lib' conflicts with use of other libs; use /NODEFAULTLIB:library I have been able to recreate the problem in a small solution that should not dependent on my directories other than setting the boost path: <http://lakeweb.net/downloads/RaVpath.zip> (20k) vc 2008 (9.0) boost 1_42 And I don't know, this may have nothing to do with boost, but I have other dlls and libs without this problem. It is coming from 'boost::filesystem' as best as I can determine. And maybe someone has seen this before and knows off the top of their head. Thanks, Dan.

[thread] Reader/Writer starvation
by Jérémy Coulon 17 May '10

17 May '10

Hi, According to the documentation of Boost 1.34 (before the major rewrite of boost::thread), the read/write lock was offering different scheduling policies. Some of those policies were providing a solution to the starvation problem that usually occurs with this kind of lock. http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_34_1/doc/html/thread/concepts.html#thread.c… http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_34_1/doc/html/thread/concepts.html#thread.c… But I don't find any reference to starvation and scheduling policies in the current Boost documentation (1.37). So, I am wondering if this starvation problem is solved in the current boost::thread implementation ? What scheduling policy is actually the default one ? Can the documentation be improved ? Thanks. Jeremy

Re: [Boost-users] [fusion]simple fusion seq_size fails to compile

In the second "inner" instantiation of seq_size (ie the one taking in an empty sequence), what return type /could/ pop_front have? So intuitively a compile error is what I would expect here - and I think a literal reading of the documentation agrees because an empty sequence does not satisfy the fusion Sequence concept.

[statechart] transition exception
by Christophe Bourez 16 May '10

16 May '10

Hi, Is it possible to transit<> back to the source state when an exception is thrown by the handler of a transition ? Pls, note that the handler of the transition can be used by several transitions in the state diagram. The state machine, being in a transition, is between two stable states. The exception can be handled by the innermost common outer state (or anyone above). In an handler of this state, is it possible to force transit<> to the source state of the transition that throws the exception ? Or is it possible to manage it differently ? Thank you for your help, Christophe

[MPL] searching a vector at runtime
by Alexander Lamaison 16 May '10

16 May '10

I'm trying to recursively traverse an MPL vector_c but I'm not sure what the base-case type should be. I want to pick a type from a mpl::vector at runtime and use it to dispatch a call to an overloaded function. Basically tag-dispatch with the tags being looked up in an MPL collection. The runtime value is an unsigned it so I just store unsigned ints in a vector_c. Then I want to traverse this vector and compare each item to the runtime value. If I find a match, I want to use it to call an overloaded function. Here's how I'm trying to do it so far: template<typename ID> class message { ... } template<typename Sequence> // MAP is a vector_c struct dispatcher { template<typename T> static result dispatch(T* obj, unsigned int message_id, int arg) { typedef boost::mpl::front<Sequence>::type head; typedef boost::mpl::pop_front<Sequence>::type tail; if (head::value == message_id) return obj->handle(message<head::value>, arg); else return dispatcher<tail>::dispatch(obj, message_id, arg); } }; template<> struct dispatcher<boost::mpl::void_> // WHAT SHOULD THIS TYPE BE? { template<typename T> static result dispatch(T* obj, unsigned int message_id, int arg) { return obj->default_message_handler(message_id, arg); } }; struct handler { result handle(message<MESSAGE1>) { /* do stuff 1 */ } result handle(message<MESSAGE2>) { /* do stuff 2 */ } result default_message_handler(unsigned int id, int arg) {} } I'm stuck on what to make the dispatcher base case which is reached when pop_front is called on a list with one item. At first I though the resulting type was void_ but apparently this doesn't match. I'm new to MPL. Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong here or if there's an altogether better way? Many thanks.
