1.57.0 beta 1 is in a new location
by Marshall Clow 27 Oct '14

27 Oct '14

Tom Kent pointed out that I put the beta 1 files in a folder that we traditionally use for Windows binaries, so I have moved the beta files to https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.57.0.beta.1/ These are the same files as last Monday - merely in a new location. If you have already downloaded and tested the beta, thanks! - no need to do it again. — Marshall

[Geometry] Packing algorithm for r-tree?
by Jeremy Murphy 27 Oct '14

27 Oct '14

I see that a fourth node splitting algorithm for bulk loading is documented in the Introduction to spatial indexes but not listed elsewhere (such as Creation and Modification). Is it hiding in the library somewhere or is the introduction just a tantalizing sneak preview? Thanks, cheers. Jeremy

BGL, cut set
by Mads Jensen 27 Oct '14

27 Oct '14

Hi, I'm looking into how you can quickly find the cut set of a graph without having to loop over the colormap as a vector. I'm using the http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_56_0/libs/graph/doc/edmonds_karp_max_flow.h… (the example provided does mostly what I want, except that it uses a vector, and not a regular map). Boykov Kolmogorov also has the colormap parameter. It seems that associative_property_map could be used, but I don't really see how? Hints on how to do this will be appreciated. A lot of the examples of the Boost graph library use the preprocessor with a check similar to: #if defined(BOOST_MSVC) && BOOST_MSVC <= 1300 What's so special about this? Thank you, -- Med Venlig Hilsen / Kind regards, Mads Jensen

[Serialization] Deserialization of base class fails
by Torsten Wylegala 25 Oct '14

25 Oct '14

Hi, I'm currently trying to serialize and deserialize a derived class using boost::archive::xml_iarchive/xml_oarchive Version 1.52. Everything works fine as long as I serialize and deserialize the same class (Example 1). The attributes of the derived class and the base class are both serialized and the deserialized correctly and requestPackageOut equals requestPackageIn (the base-class attributes are equal too). But if I serialize the derived class "RequestPackage" and try to deserialize it into the base-class "Package" (Example 2) I'm getting an "input stream error" exception while trying to deserialize with ia >> BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(*package);. I'm quite new to this topic and found a lot of posting but none of them seems to match and solve my exact problem. It would by very nice if somebody could help me with that. Background information: I want to use xml-serialized objects for data exchange via network and want all the packages to inherit from Package-class which carries "packageId" and therefore give me the chance to identify the incoming xml-objects and handle every package based on this id. If some information is missing I will do my best to provide it later. Torsten Example 1: int main(int argc, char** argv){ std::cout << "Started!" << std::endl; std::string serializedObject; RequestPackage requestPackageOut; RequestPackage requestPackageIn; requestPackageOut.setPackageId(3); requestPackageIn.setPackageId(0); Serializer::serialize(&serializedObject,&requestPackageOut); Serializer::deserialize(&serializedObject,&requestPackageIn); return 0; } Example 2: int main(int argc, char** argv){ std::cout << "Started!" << std::endl; std::string serializedObject; Package package; RequestPackage requestPackageOut; RequestPackage requestPackageIn; requestPackageOut.setPackageId(3); requestPackageIn.setPackageId(0); Serializer::serialize(&serializedObject,&requestPackageOut); Serializer::deserialize(&serializedObject,&package); return 0; } The Rest: namespace Serializer{ template <typename T> int serialize(std::string *serializedObject, T *package){ int returnValue = 0; std::ostringstream objectOss; boost::archive::xml_oarchive oa(objectOss); try { oa << BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(package); } catch (boost::archive::archive_exception const& ex) { returnValue = 1; } serializedObject->assign(objectOss.str()); return returnValue; }; template <typename T> int deserialize(std::string *serializedObject, T *package){ int returnValue = 0; std::istringstream objectIss(*serializedObject); boost::archive::xml_iarchive ia(objectIss); try { ia >> BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(*package); } catch (boost::archive::archive_exception const& ex) { std::cerr << "Error: " << ex.what() << std::endl; std::cerr.flush(); returnValue = 1; } return returnValue; }; } class RequestPackage : public Package{ private: friend class boost::serialization::access; template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version) { ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_BASE_OBJECT_NVP(Package); ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(requestId); } int requestId; public: int getRequestId() const; void setRequestId(int requestId); }; class Package{ private: friend class boost::serialization::access; template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version) { ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(packageID); } int packageID; public: int getPackageId() const; void setPackageId(int packageId); };

Boost Serialization
by Abraham, Marshel 25 Oct '14

25 Oct '14

I am trying to Serialize a class : StartPeerSessionRequest::StartPeerSessionRequest() { mProtocolVersion = 1*10000 + 14*100 + 4; mSessionFlags = 1; mMaxResponseLength = 0; mMake = "MyMake"; mModel = "MyModel"; mSerialNumber = "10000"; mTrackDelay = 0; mHeadUnitModel = "Headunit"; mCarModelYear = "2014"; mVin = "1234567980"; mVehicleMileage = 1000; mShoutFormat = 3; mNotificationInterval = 1; } template <class Archive> void StartPeerSessionRequest::serialize(Archive &ar, const unsigned int version) { ar & mProtocolVersion; ar & mSessionFlags; ar & mMaxResponseLength; ar & mMake; ar & mModel; ar & mSerialNumber; ar & mTrackDelay; ar & mHeadUnitModel; ar & mCarModelYear; ar & mVin; ar & mVehicleMileage; ar & mShoutFormat; ar & mNotificationInterval; } void StartPeerSessionRequest::save() { boost::archive::binary_oarchive oa(serlreq, boost::archive::no_header); oa << (*this); /*cout<<"\n binary_oarchive :"<<serlreq.size();*/ boost::archive::text_oarchive ota(serializedRequest, boost::archive::no_header); ota<<(*this); cout<<"\n text_oarchive :"<<serializedRequest.str()<<"size :"<<serializedRequest.str().size(); } serializedRequest.str.size() provides me a length of 87 actually it should provide me 65 bytes.( I ve counted u can figure that out from the constructor ) I suspect it is appending lengths in between. I have tried using text_archive also it doesnt work. What I need is to just plain serialize class members as it is. I guess i need to use some traits or wrappers, or boost::serialization::binary_object Please let me know Thanks Regards Marshel Abraham 3097146

"event-driven" async-receive
by Alexander Carôt 25 Oct '14

25 Oct '14

Hello all, I have question regarding the async_receive_from – operation (using UDP): Right now I have a thread, which triggers the receive call in constant intervals. This works allright if the sender sends data in the same interval or larger intervals. However, if the send intervals are (much) smaller (or if multiple senders exist) the receive-operation is not triggered often enough. Eventually I’d like the receiving socket to behave in an „event-driven “ manner – so, whenever data is there the receive-handler should be invoked. I used to work with Qt, which works this way (via signals/slots) but since I moved to boost I wonder how I can reproduce this behavior. Can anyone tell how to approach this ? Thanks in advance, best Alex

Is there a way to use Boost Phoenix to define an infinite sequence and evaluate specific terms of it, compute partial sums, etc? I am looking for pointers to specific libraries or examples. -- Aaron Levy aaron.levy(a)yandex.com

cross compile for arm setup (solved)
by John Davis 24 Oct '14

24 Oct '14

Hello I appreciate the assistance. Below is the script and results for building boost with a cross compiler. It appears to work. -------------------------- #!/bin/bash # place this script in the $BOOST_ROOT directory and invoke it like so: # ./doit.sh # Clean up any stuff left over from a previous build rm -rf /opt/xxx/boost/include rm -rf /opt/xxx/boost/lib # edit /opt/xxx/yyy/boost/boost_1_51_0/tools/build/v2/user-config.jam to add the following line # using gcc : 4.3arm : arm-linux-gnueabi-g++ : <architecture>arm <target-os>linux ; # edit /opt/xxx/yyy/boost/boost_1_51_0/tools/build/v2/user-config.jam to remove the following line # using gcc ; # Ensure we are in host development environment and not using the cross compiler. # # Later we modify path and CROSS_COMPILE variables. # Here we are just ensuring we start properly, # make sure our path does not use the cross compiler at beginning export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/opt/java6/bin:/opt/java6/db/bin:/opt/java6/jre/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl export CROSS_COMPILE= # In this stage, we are using the host compiler. # setup env variable for $BOOST_DIR # I'm not sure if this is being used, but set it just in case. export BOOST_ROOT=/opt/xxx/yyy/boost/boost_1_51_0 # Its important that the next step is run from $BOOST_DIR/tools/build/v2 aka /opt/xxx/yyy/boost/boost_1_51_0/tools/build/v2 cd $BOOST_ROOT/tools/build/v2 # NOTE: ask if we have removed gcc and replaced gcc with cross compiler in user-config.jam am I really # invoking gcc-arm below? Its not in my path at this point. ./bootstrap.sh --with-toolset=gcc echo current working directory is $PWD # checkpoint exit # At this point, /opt/xxx/boost is still empty. # # The ./bootstrap.sh script executed above in the tools/build/v2 directory # is complete and gives the following output: # #Bootstrapping the build engine with toolset gcc... engine/bin.linuxx86_64/bjam # #Bootstrapping is done.

Map Binary archive problem May be a bug?
by Joshua Nocturne 24 Oct '14

24 Oct '14

On my phone, so I try my best to describe my problem. std::map<int,int> myMap; for(int i = 0; i != 30; i++) myMap.insert( make_pair(i,i+1) ); ofstream ofs("test"); binary_oarchive oa(ofs); oa<<myMap; ofs.close(); ofs.clear(); myMap.clear(); Ifstream ifs("test"); binary_iarchive ia(ifs); ia>>myMap; This code will throw an exception "input stream error". But if reducing the size of map like this for(int i = 0;i != 20; i++) It will run successful. Cause I can't figure it out so I seek your help. Look forward to your reply.

Inserting in a boost::interprocess::map
by Hemanth Choudary M V (RBEI/ETA1) 24 Oct '14

24 Oct '14

Hi, I have the following boost::interprocess::map: std::shared_ptr<boost::interprocess::map<size_t,boost::interprocess::managed_shared_memory*> > memoryMap; I insert into the map in the following manner: memoryMap ->insert( std::make_pair (i, new boost::interprocess::managed_shared_memory(boost::interprocess::create_only, "MemoryMap", 128))); Compilation is successful. But there is the following run-time error during insert: "memory access violation occurred at address -----------, while attempting to read inaccessible data" Is there anything missing?
