Asio unhandled exception
by Łukasz Majewski 20 May '11

20 May '11

Hello, I created a server single thread async (linux) and clinet (win). Every time client is close while server is writing to the socket connected to this client exception appears: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost::exception_detail::clone_impl<boost::exception_detail::error_info_injector<boost::system::system_error>>' what(): Transport endpoint is not connected Aborted and server is terminated. I dont know why this exception is unhandled. int main( int argc, char** argv ) { try { boost::asio::io_service io_service; quotation_server server( io_service ); while ( true ) { try { io_service.run(); } catch( ... ){} } } catch ( std::exception& e ) { LOG << e.what() << std::endl; } catch( ... ) { LOG << "Unexpected exception" << std::endl; } return 0; }

vs 2010 can't find correct boost lib version?
by Li, Tieniu 30 Mar '11

30 Mar '11

I built boost with visual studio 2010. Libraries of *-vc100-* are generated correctly. When trying to using boost.thread, VS 2010 generated error message: can't find *-vc90-*.lib. Any idea and fixing? Thanks a lot.

[BGL] Separating twin vertices
by Shaun Jackman 19 Mar '11

19 Mar '11

Hi, I have a directed graph where every vertex has a twin vertex. It is known ahead of time which pairs of vertices are twins. I want to remove as few vertices as possible from the graph such that no vertex and its twin is in the same connected component. Could someone suggest an appropriate algorithm? I've just started delving into the BGL. So far I'm suitably impressed! Cheers, Shaun

Simple serial port demonstration with boost asio asynchronous I/O
by Jeff Gray 26 Jan '11

26 Jan '11

A couple of weeks ago I posted a simple asynchronous demonstration of a telnet client using boost asio TCP network code. I have changed this code to turn it into a simple serial terminal application using the serial port support in the new version of boost asio. It required no changes at all the the read or write code. I just altered the initialization to use a serial port instead of a socket. Note that this is not intended to show how a fully functional application would work. There are plenty of areas that are not handled in this code. But it shows the idea and it's easy to build on this once you've got it working. Hope this helps someone else get started... Jeff

[units] subtract_typeof_helper<> help!
by Terry Golubiewski 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

I'm trying to use boost::geometry and boost::units together. For some reason boost::geometry doesn't represent the difference of two points as vectors. So, I'm making my own Vector class and defining Vector = Point - Point. The sample program below doesn't compile because I need to tell the units library about the special properties of point subtraction (I think). terry #include <boost/geometry/geometry.hpp> #include <boost/units/systems/si.hpp> #include <boost/units/quantity.hpp> #include <boost/units/io.hpp> #include <iostream> #include <iomanip> using namespace std; using namespace boost; using namespace boost::geometry; using namespace boost::units; typedef point<double, 3, cs::cartesian> Point; class Vector { Point _impl; friend Vector operator-(const Point& lhs, const Point& rhs); explicit Vector(Point p) : _impl(p) { } public: Vector() : _impl(0) { } Vector(double dx, double dy, double dz=0) : _impl(dx, dy, dz) { } friend ostream& operator<<(ostream& os, const Vector& v) { return os << dsv(v._impl); } }; // Vector inline Vector operator-(const Point& lhs, const Point& rhs) { Point tmp(lhs); subtract_point(tmp, rhs); return Vector(tmp); } inline ostream& operator<<(ostream& os, const Point& pt) { return os << dsv(pt); } int main() { Point p1(1, 2, 3); Point p2(4, 5, 6); typedef quantity<si::length, Point> Position; typedef quantity<si::length, Vector> Displacement; Position start( p1 * si::meters); Position finish(p2 * si::meters); Displacement disp(finish - start); cout << "disp=" << disp << endl; return EXIT_SUCCESS; } // main

[statechart] optional<event> - warning
by Igor R 07 Dec '10

07 Dec '10

Hello, When I define optional<my_event>, I get a warning (MSVC10): warning C4291: 'void *boost::statechart::event<MostDerived>::operator new(size_t,void *)' : no matching operator delete found; memory will not be freed if initialization throws an exception In class statechart::event I see 2 overloads of operator new: void * operator new( std::size_t size ) void * operator new( std::size_t, void * p ) But only 1 operator delete: void operator delete( void * pEvent ) i.e., no placement delete. Is this intentional? Thanks.

[Program Options] Positional args in help message
by Lindley M French 10 Nov '10

10 Nov '10

The examples for how to use positional arguments are great and seem to work fine. However, I'm wondering if there's an automatic way to include that information in the help message. In particular, since the tutorial goes to the trouble of telling you how to exclude the positional options from the options help, it would be nice to know what to replace it with. I could manually write a line detailing the usage before outputting the options description, of course, but I was wondering if there was anything in PO to handle this automatically.

[Asio]What's the behavior of socket.async_write() after socket.close() is called?
by 鑫炜廖 05 Nov '10

05 Nov '10

Hi, If I call socket.close() but I still have some data in my buffer, can I call async_write() later? When I call socket.close(), maybe an async_write operation is running, when it's complete I want to send data in another buffer(data written while previous async_write() is running, before socket.close() was called), but the socket is closed.Does it work in this situation?If not, what's the alternative way? The code looks like this: char front_buffer[kBufferSize]; char back_buffer[kBufferSize]; void HandleWrite(...) { //socket is closed. Does this work? socket.async_write(back_buffer, ...); } socket.async_write(front_buffer, HandleWrite); // write data to back_buffer socket.close();

Polymorphic serialization with polymorphic archives problems... [part 2]
by Bogdan 03 Nov '10

03 Nov '10

First I would like to confirm I tested Robert Ramey's fix (@60273) for multiple registrations and it looks good in my runs. Thank you Robert! On the other hand, I am under the impression there is a bug in void_caster::recursive_unregister(), although I am not 100% certain about the reason: that function member is called in the destructors of the void caster template classes and makes use of the void_caster_registry singleton (more specifically the type_set). I believe it searches the set for all the void caster entries that are descendants of the current one (i.e., the one being destroyed) and performs the following ops: - delete the shortcuts. - remove the corresponding entries from the set. However, void_caster::recursive_unregister() DOESN'T REMOVE FROM THE REGISTRAR the entry corresponding to the current void_caster(). This creates the problem below: consider a scenario where a dll containing some serialization functionality is loaded explicitly at runtime (i.e., using LoadLibrary() on Windows or dlopen on Unix). There are no parent-child relationships among the serialized classes registered by that DLL: all serialized classes are derived from one abstract base. While unloading the library, its void_caster singletons are destroyed but there are no shortcuts to remove from the global registrar since there are no parent-child relationships. All entries corresponding to those are still in the global registrar and POINT TO THE void_caster SINGLETONS ALREADY DESTROYED AND DISCARDED. When the main process exits, the registrar traversal repeats for whatever process-bound void_caster singletons are about to be destroyed. During these subsequent traversals, void_caster::recursive_unregister() visits the entries left after the previous explicit dll download and tries to identify the parent-child relationship. In doing so, it accesses the dangling vc pointers generating access violations: void_cast.cpp(Line 286): const void_caster * vc = *it; void_cast.cpp(Line 287): if(vc->m_parent == this){ //<--------------------- here is the access violation I can reproduce the crash systematically, but I am not sure about the reason or whether a simple unregistration is enough. I believe this is (again) a question for Robert, but I thank for any feedback I might get. Bogdan

[Boost.MPI] question about serializing custom object
by Cristobal Navarro 16 Oct '10

16 Oct '10

hello everybody, this is first post i have some questions after reading the Boost documentation of serialization and MPI, is it possible to serialize my custom objects with Boost.serialize and then send/receive them using plain openMPI as MPI_BYTE type?? the other question is on the tutorials i only found examples of serializing objects to archive and saving to file, but i didnt find any example where they serialize it to a binary form and send them through mpi, is there any example of this type on the documentation? best regards Cristobal
