[interprocess] Determine size of managed_shared_memory
by Kai Benndorf 12 Oct '19

12 Oct '19

Hi all, I want to create a managed_shared_memory in exactly the size I needed. Therefore I do something like this: size = sizeof( common_managed_shared_memory ); size += sizeof( MyClassInSharedMem ); managed_shared_memory segment(create_only, "name", size ); MyClassInSharedMem allocates itself some memory by segment->allocate(). I added this also to the size, but get a boost::interprocess::bad_alloc exception on allocating this additional memory. Are there some magic bytes I forgot to add? Many thanks in advance Kai

Weird compilation error when using boost::geometry
by 邓尧 16 Nov '17

16 Nov '17

Hi, I have implemented my own "point" as specified by the point concept http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_59_0/libs/geometry/doc/html/geometry/refere… When I use it along with boost::geometry::model::polygon/multi_polygon, GCC refuses to compile, tested on GCC 4.9/5.2. What's even more weird is that CLANG 3.6 would happy accept my code. BTW, the Point implementation is part of a large project, it difficult to replace it with boost::geometry::model::point. Here is my code: Point.hpp > #ifndef RAPTOR_POINT_HPP_INCLUDED_ > > #define RAPTOR_POINT_HPP_INCLUDED_ > > >> #include <boost/mpl/int.hpp> > > #include <boost/geometry/core/access.hpp> > > #include <boost/geometry/core/cs.hpp> > > #include <boost/geometry/core/coordinate_type.hpp> > > #include <boost/geometry/core/coordinate_system.hpp> > > #include <boost/geometry/core/coordinate_dimension.hpp> > > #include <boost/geometry/geometries/polygon.hpp> > > #include <boost/geometry/multi/geometries/multi_polygon.hpp> > > >> namespace raptor { > > >> template<typename T, int tDimension = 2> > > class Point { > > public: > > Point() = default;

[serialization] unable to link on OS X when MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.7
by Pavol Juhas 06 Jul '17

06 Jul '17

Hello, I'd like to build the boost_serialization library with a compatibility setup for Mac OS X version 10.7, because I need to use it with Anaconda Python binaries, which are built for OS X 10.7. The OS X compatibility version can be set either by passing `-mmacosx-version-min=10.7` as a compile and link option or by setting environment variable MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.7. If I do so, the boost_serialization library builds without complaints, however I am not able to link it with my test program. Here are the steps I take to compile boost_serialization and the test program starting from a fresh boost 1.64.0 tree: # -------------------------------------------------------------- $ export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.7 $ ./bootstrap.sh $ ./b2 -j4 variant=release link=shared --with-serialization stage # The stage/lib directory now contains libboost_serialization.dylib. # Use it to build a test program from tarchive.cpp: $ c++ tarchive.cpp -I. -Lstage/lib -lboost_serialization Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64: "boost::archive::basic_binary_oprimitive<boost::archive::binary_oarchive, char, std::char_traits<char> >::init()", referenced from: boost::archive::binary_oarchive_impl<boost::archive::binary_oarchive, char, std::char_traits<char> >::init(unsigned int) in tarchive-5e24a9.o "boost::archive::basic_binary_oprimitive<boost::archive::binary_oarchive, char, std::char_traits<char> >::save(std::string const&)", referenced from: void boost::archive::save_access::save_primitive<boost::archive::binary_oarchive, std::string>(boost::archive::binary_oarchive&, std::string const&) in tarchive-5e24a9.o ... # -------------------------------------------------------------- The only thing the test program (attached) does is to instantiate the boost::archive::binary_oarchive class. The procedure above works fine when MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET is set to 10.9 or higher. Am I missing some option that would fix the failed linking when building for OS X 10.7? I suppose this could be related to object visibility options as the serialization library is compiled with "-fvisibility=hidden" and "-fvisibility-inlines-hidden" options. Thank you, Pavol

Why cannot asio tcp socket server detect TCP disconnection when the client device lost power?
by jupiter 03 Jul '17

03 Jul '17

Hi, The asio tcp server can detect the disconnection when the client program stop. But I have small device when it lost power, the server won't be able to detect the TCP disconnection. Does the boost socket has TCP timeout? What is an effective way to handle this situation other than running heartbeat in user level? Thank you. Kind regards, - j

[poly_collection] Boost.PolyCollection release version ready
by Joaquin M López Muñoz 29 Jun '17

29 Jun '17

Hello, For those who are following the development of this lib, I'd like to announce that the release version of Boost.PolyCollection for Boost 1.65 is already committed to the master branch of Boost. Much of the to-do list prepared by Ion at the end of the review has been implemented. The main features left as roadmap are listed at: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/master/doc/html/poly_collection/future_work.h… As for the improvements already included, let me comment on what I feel are the most important: * The implementation has been refactored to avoid internal virtual calls at places where the type of the segment involved is known at compile time. Also, segment lookup (the process to get to the segment for U from typeid(U)) has been greatly sped up by means of a std::type_info* cache. These two improvements result in a combined reduction of around 25-30% in insertion times. There's an API breaking change though: no longer is std::type_index used and const std::type_info &'s have to be directly provided instead --this is likely to go unnoticed by those of you already using the lib. * Polymorphic collections now satisfy standard requirements on allocator use as stated in [container.requirements.general]/3 (or, more precisely, the natural interpretation for polymorhpic containers of this clause). This is explicitly described in the reference. As a result, polymorphic collections can now use std::scoped_allocator_adaptor without any problem. * Added segment(typeid(U))/segment<U>() convenience funtions returning a range object over the selected segment. This allows us to write: for(const auto& x:c.segment(typeid(warrior))){ ... } * Collection-level max_size() and capacity() have been removed as I didn't seem to find sensible semantics for them. Segment-level max_size() and capacity() are kept, of course. * Hopefully the tutorial section on boost::function_collection is a bit clearer now. The library works OK for MSVC>=14.0,GCC>=5.0,Clang>=3.7. Unfortunately, Intel fails for test_algorithm: https://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2017/06/236016.php If someone's interested in helping fix that, please step up. Thank you, Joaquín M López Muñoz

C++11 ABI stability
by Marek Skalický 29 Jun '17

29 Jun '17

Hi, mongo-cxx-driver notices this: "Important note about C++11/C++14: The boost libraries do not offer a stable ABI across different versions of the C++ standard. As a result, you must ensure that your application, the C++ driver, and boost are all built with the same language standard. In particular, if you are building the C++ driver with C++11 enabled, you must also build your application with C++11 enabled, and link against a C++11 compiled boost. " [1] Is it true? What changes with new standard? (or is this only related to ABI change in gcc introduced by c++11?) I'm interested mainly in libraries: filesystem, chrono, thread, system and regex Thanks, Marek [1] http://mongodb.github.io/mongo-cxx-driver/legacy-v1/installation/#s cons-options-when-compiling-the-c-driver

[boost] [beast] Formal "review" branch frozen
by Vinnie Falco 29 Jun '17

29 Jun '17

The "review" branch of Beast is now available and frozen for modifications. It contains the snapshot of the repository which will undergo the Boost formal review starting on July 1 and lasting for 10 days. Currently the review branch is even with the master branch, at version 70. The review branch repository is here: https://github.com/vinniefalco/Beast/tree/review The review documentation snapshot: http://vinniefalco.github.io/stage/beast/review/ Autobahn WebSocket Implementation Test Report: http://vinniefalco.github.io/autobahn/index.html Beast is a C++ header-only library serving as a foundation for writing interoperable networking libraries by providing low-level HTTP/1, WebSocket, and networking protocolvocabulary types and algorithms using the consistent asynchronous model of Boost.Asio. Beast empowers users to create their own libraries, clients, and servers using HTTP/1 and WebSocket. Code will be easier and faster to implement, understand, and maintain, because Beast takes care of the low-level protocol details. Please don't forget to "star" the repository on GitHub, the increased exposure will vitalize Beast and Boost with the new generation of programmers! Thanks! -- Follow me on Github: https://github.com/vinniefalco

Regression in Boost.Variant with gcc6.3 in C++03 mode
by dariomt＠gmail.com 28 Jun '17

28 Jun '17

Hi, This is the simplest possible repro I could get: #include <boost/variant.hpp> class A {}; class B : private A {}; typedef boost::variant<A, B> variant_t; int main() { B b; variant_t v (b); } This used to work with Boost 1.59.0 but fails with 1.64.0 Using wandbox I've found that: - it started failing in 1.62.0 - clang does not have this problem - newer and older versions of gcc do have the same problem The error is miles long. I think the important parts are: boost/type_traits/is_convertible.hpp:149:53: error: 'A' is an inaccessible base of 'B' error: no matching function for call to 'boost::variant<A, B>::variant(B&)' It seems the metaprogramming messes up due to the private inheritance, and decides that the variant<A,B> is *not* constructible from B Workarounds are very welcome! Switching to C++14 is not an option (yet). Regards
