BOOST ASIO: Having successful READ from the SERVER ..??
by Rahul Mathur 30 Oct '13

30 Oct '13

All, Initially after having done successful CONNECT with the server, sending successful LOGON message and finally KEEP ALIVE status, I tried to read from the server as - -- boost::asio::streambuf data; std::size_t length = boost::asio::read(socket, data, boost::asio::transfer_at_least(socket.available())); -- but was able to partially receive response from remote server which I don't think was completely successful, so to have COMPLETE RESPONSE from the server, tried with below modification - -- boost::system::error_code ec; boost::asio::streambuf data; std::size_t length = boost::asio::read(socket, data, boost::asio::transfer_all(), ec); --- but this modification doesn't work. Any clue what should be the proper way? Thanks!!

SIGSEGV when removing Ethernet/Serial Port cables
by Ulf Samuelsson 30 Oct '13

30 Oct '13

Have a boost enable application which communicated over USB serial ports and UDP If the cables are removed, the library fires off SIGSEGV signals. I am trying to catch exceptions but neither } catch (boost::system::system_error &e) { } catch (std::exception &e) { seems to work, and a SIGSEGV signal is sent when the port->get_io_service().reset(); statement is executed. How can I handle the problem, that the USB serial cable is removed? I know I can test for the existence of /dev/ttyUSBx in the file system or /sys/class/tty/ttyUSBx" I know I can write a SIGSEGV handler, but would like to know if there is any exception I can catch instead. Have the same problem when the Ethernet Cable is removed. How handle this? // Serial Port Read. // Reads a character or times out bool SerialPort::read_char(unsigned char& val) { val = c = '\0'; try { // After a timeout & cancel it seems we need // to do a reset for subsequent reads to work. port->get_io_service().reset(); // Asynchronously read 1 character. async_read(*port, buffer(&c, 1), boost::bind(&SerialPort::read_complete, this, placeholders::error, placeholders::bytes_transferred)); // Setup a deadline time to implement our timeout. timer->expires_from_now(boost::posix_time::milliseconds(1)); timer->async_wait(boost::bind(&SerialPort::time_out, this, placeholders::error)); // This will block until a character is read // or until the it is cancelled. port->get_io_service().run(); if (!read_error) { val = c; } else { val = 0; // Timeout } } catch (boost::system::system_error &e) { val = 2; DebugPort.WriteLine("Serial Port System Error", RED); return false; } catch (std::exception &e) { val = 1; DebugPort.WriteLine("Serial Port General Error", RED); return false; } return !read_error; } // Network port open bool UdpClient::Open(void) { udp::resolver resolver(io_service); udp::resolver::query query(udp::v4(), ipAddress, Port); try { Endpoint = *resolver.resolve(query); } catch (boost::system::system_error &e) { // We might not have a network connection return false; } if (!CreateSocket()) { return false; } if (!OpenSocket()) { return false; } init = true; return true; } Best Regards Ulf Samuelsson

Looking for official .m4 script

HI Looking for official .m4 script to include it into distribution package in order to use its benefits while configuring/build software. Yes, I know about Tsuna's boost.m4 library but I never heard it was approved by Boost officials. Regards

[python] Crash right after initialization after ubgrading from 1.48 to 1.54
by Richi Lists 30 Oct '13

30 Oct '13

I upgraded from boost 1.48 to .154 and I thought I was done after all the compiler errors and unit tests were ironed out. But now when I start our application, it terminates immediately. This only happens with the debug build. The release build is fine. I verified that it properly links to boost-python-vc100-mt-gyd-1_54.lib and python27_d.lib The python version (2.73) is still the same that we used with boost 1.48. I tracked it down to here: Py_Initialize(); m_mainModule = boost::python::import(__main__); <-- crash here With the debugger I found out that the string object is invalid. More specifically, ob_type is 0xffffffff. So I added this exception which always throws now: Py_Initialize(); const boost::pathon::str someRandomString("someRandomString"); if(reinterpret_cast<void*>(0xffffffff) == someRandomString.ptr()->ob_type) throw std::runtime_error("Python problem"); What could be going on here?

[Asio] Compilation errors after switching to 1.55 b1
by Szymon Gatner 29 Oct '13

29 Oct '13

I am getting very weird error after moving from 1.54 to 1.55b1: 2>C:\devel\boost_1_55_0b1\boost/asio/detail/impl/socket_ops.ipp(2224): error C2653: 'Windows' : is not a class or namespace name (..\..\lib\hexine.cpp) and many more in that file, then: 2>C:\devel\boost_1_55_0b1\boost/asio/detail/buffer_sequence_adapter.hpp(36): error C2653: 'Windows' : is not a class or namespace name (..\..\lib\hexine.cpp) Than, many errors later: 2>C:\devel\boost_1_55_0b1\boost/asio/detail/winrt_async_manager.hpp(62): error C2039: 'IAsyncAction' : is not a member of 'Windows::Foundation' (..\..\lib\hexine.cpp) This looks like C++/CLI implementation. I assume this is related to "Implemented a limited port to Windows Runtime. This support requires that the language extensions be enabled." Does it mean that switch from 1.54 to 1.55 requires changes in project settings? Visual Studio 2012 Update 3, Windows 7 Regards, Szymon Gatner

Hi, I just built boost 1.55 beta1 with recently released VC2013 on Win7 and for some reason date-time library was not built. I didn't sepcify it when building (just hit b2 to get everything). Regards, Szymon Gatner

[Boost-users] {exception][boost::throw_exception][BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS] implications
by Jeff Flinn 28 Oct '13

28 Oct '13

The project I've joined [ab]uses BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS in 1.55b as a means to intercept exceptions thrown via boost::throw_exception() and translate them to the project's single exception type derived from std::exception, leaving me a bit queasy. That queasiness is reinforced by #ifdef BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS #error This header requires exception handling to be enabled. #endif in ...\boost_1_55_0b1\boost\exception\detail\exception_ptr.hpp. This implies that BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS is used for more that just allowing client code to supply it's own throw_exception. Does boost and/or C++ provide a better customization point to safely translate exceptions thrown by boost? (note: we're using vs2013, generally the latest gcc, and clang) Thanks, Jeff

Boost Iterator Adaptor, with a mutable member variable is optimized out incorrectly
by Jonas Hörsch 28 Oct '13

28 Oct '13

hello everyone, i am not sure if this is actually a question about boost usage. but in the attached code i'm stuck with the unlikely situation, that gcc optimizes away my code and produces garbage for -On (n>=1), while it works like intended with -O0. attached is the minimal code, with which i could reproduce the problem: on linux i686 g++ version 4.6.3 and x86_64 g++ version 4.7.2, using packaged boost_1_54_0 in both instances, i see the following: when i compile the code with optimization (-O1) % ./iterator_adaptor_weirdness -1219536795 -1219536795 and without (-O0) % ./iterator_adaptor_weirdness 4 2 is this a bug in gcc? is it wrong to use mutable variables in conjunction with iterator_adaptor? any insight is appreciated, jonas P.S.: I know, that this particular instance of the problem, might be better solved using a transform_iterator, but unfortunately that approach doesn't scale.
