Issue with boost::geometry::intersection
by Heriberto Delgado 13 Mar '19

13 Mar '19

I'm having an issue while using boost::geometry to find the intersection of two specific polygons, and looking at the evidence in front of me I can't help but think this might be a bug in the library. The two polygons in question are: POLYGON((16.8739 0.353458,8.80872e-14 5.50545e-15,0.266003 -12.6988,17.1399 -12.3454,16.8739 0.353458)) POLYGON((-4.53257e-19 2.16383e-17,9.99781 0.209424,10.1459 -6.86009,0.148086 -7.06952,-4.53257e-19 2.16383e-17)) Both of them look like two slightly rotated rectangles, first one being bigger than the other. They intersect at their upper left corner. In order to verify that these polygons CAN be intersected, I ran the following SQL sentence through SQL Server Management Studio (17.9.1): SELECT geometry::STGeomFromText('POLYGON((16.8739 0.353458,8.80872e-14 5.50545e-15,0.266003 -12.6988,17.1399 -12.3454,16.8739 0.353458))', 0) .STIntersection( geometry::STGeomFromText('POLYGON((-4.53257e-19 2.16383e-17,9.99781 0.209424,10.1459 -6.86009,0.148086 -7.06952,-4.53257e-19 2.16383e-17))', 0) ).STAsText() The resulting WKT is: POLYGON ((0.1480860710144043 -7.0695199966430664, 10.145899772644043 -6.8600900173187256, 9.997809886932373 0.20942401885986328, 0 0, 0.1480860710144043 -7.0695199966430664)) which looks about right for the requested intersection rectangle. SSMS itself displays a nice rectangle when you remove ".STAsText()" from that sentence. However, when I tried to duplicate that result using the following program using Visual Studio 2017 (15.9.8) to create an x64 console app, using boost 1.69 as a NuGet: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #include <boost/geometry.hpp> #include <vector> #include <iostream> int main(int argc, char** argv) { boost::geometry::model::polygon<boost::geometry::model::d2::point_xy<double>> first; boost::geometry::read_wkt("POLYGON((16.8739 0.353458,8.80872e-14 5.50545e-15,0.266003 -12.6988,17.1399 -12.3454,16.8739 0.353458))", first); boost::geometry::model::polygon<boost::geometry::model::d2::point_xy<double>> second; boost::geometry::read_wkt("POLYGON((-4.53257e-19 2.16383e-17,9.99781 0.209424,10.1459 -6.86009,0.148086 -7.06952,-4.53257e-19 2.16383e-17))", second); std::vector<boost::geometry::model::polygon<boost::geometry::model::d2::point_xy<double>>> results; boost::geometry::intersection(first, second, results); for (auto& result : results) { std::cout << boost::geometry::wkt(result) << std::endl; std::cout << boost::geometry::is_valid(result) << std::endl; } return 0; } ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the resulting polygon is: POLYGON((0 -8.88178e-16,0.148086 -7.06952,0.148086 -7.06952,0 -8.88178e-16)) which you can easily see it's not a valid polygon, even though boost::geometry returns "1" when is_valid() is called upon it. I was planning to use boost::geometry on a large scale server application that processes quite large amounts of geometry in a similar way, and this is seriously impairing my ability to do so. Do you guys know what is going on here, and if there is a solution or workaround for it?

convert separate year, month, day, hour, minute, secs, ms to milliseconds since epoch
by Victor Yankee 11 Mar '19

11 Mar '19

I am using C++14 and boost 1.64.0 (could move to newest boost), and need to convert date and time pieces to a single value for milliseconds since the epoch. This is what I have: int64_t msSinceEpoch(int year,int month,int day,int hour,int minute,int second,int ms) { struct std::tm t; t.tm_sec = second; t.tm_min = minute; t.tm_hour = hour; t.tm_mday = day; t.tm_mon = month-1; t.tm_year = year-1900; t.tm_isdst = 0; return (1000* timegm(&t))+ms; // is timegm cross-platform? } Is there a better way? Could not figure out how to use boost::chrono :( Something else? Kind Regards, Vic

SSL handshake: invalid file handle
by Osman Zakir 11 Mar '19

11 Mar '19

I have a problem with using SSL to switch from HTTP to HTTPS in a web server app I have. The code is here:https://github.com/DragonOsman/currency_converter/blob/master/currency… and my server_certificate.hpp file is herehttps://github.com/DragonOsman/currency_converter/blob/master/server_ce…. The app uses Boost 1.69.0, for Boost.Beast. I took synchronous HTTP SSL server example code and synchronous HTTP example client code from the Boost.Beast repository on here. I got the certificate from Let's Encrypt using the TXT record method, and it's a domain-specific certificate. I was told by the guys at Let's Encrypt forums that it doesn't require DH parameters, but I'd like to confirm here if it's true or not. I didn't get DH parameters. It's a certificate issued via acme.sh. The domain name is a subdomain I got for free from dynu.com; the .cer files I have are ca.cer, {DOMAIN}.cer, and fullchain.cer. I was told that I'd need fullchain.cer so I put that in as the value for the `cert` string (it consists of two certificates and I used both). The private key I have is in a .key file rather than a .pem file and I'm wondering if that's a problem. I also need to ask what I need to do with the ctx.set_options and ctx.set_password_callback methods. Could you please help me (if this is good to ask here)? When I try to visit my app in the browser while my server is running (I'm hosting it on my computer), I get this error in my console window: " handshake: The file handle supplied is not valid " And before, I also got this error: " handshake: An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket " And I also get an error page in my browser saying, "Cannot connect securely to this page". I'm using the MS Edge browser. My private key is an RSA key and the filename is {DOMAIN}.key rather than {DOMAIN}.pem. I'm sorry for repeating this. Thanks in advance for any help or replies.

Question on Posix timezone string
by Mats Webjörn/WIKAB 10 Mar '19

10 Mar '19

I'm using Boost 1.66 and use the following code to get a Posix string to set my uCLinux TZ environment variable to get a local time from an UTC time #include <boost/date_time/local_time/tz_database.hpp> #include <boost/date_time/local_time/local_time.hpp> tz_database tz_db; tz_db.load_from_file("./date_time_zonespec.csv"); time_zone_ptr nyc = tz_db.time_zone_from_region("Europe/Stockholm"); auto s = nyc->to_posix_string(); // "CET+01CEST+01,M3.5.0/02:00,M10.5.0/03:00" setenv("TZ", s.c_str(), 1); The odd thing is that my localtime becomes incorrect, and is actually 1 hr wrong on the opposite side of UTC. But, when I read https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/TZ-Variable.html it says "The offset specifies the time value you must add to the local time to get a Coordinated Universal Time value". Not add to UTC time, which seems like the Boost Posix string assumes !!!!! Which explains why 16:00 UTC give 15:00 CET instead of 17:00 which is the correct value, when using localtime_r(). Am I missing something fundamentally, or what? Regards Mats Webjörn Webjörn IngenjörsKonsult AB Solhemsbackarna 75A SE-163 56 SPÅNGA Sweden

SSL handshake error "The file handle supplied is not valid"
by Osman Zakir 09 Mar '19

09 Mar '19

@chris@kohlhoff.com<mailto:chris@kohlhoff.com> I also opened an issue about this on GitHub here: https://github.com/chriskohlhoff/asio/issues/376 and I tried to make sure to provide all of the necessary information. Except I've just now updated the line numbers in my .cpp file to document the errors meaning that now the error I have reads: " Lines 576 and 577: handshake: The file handle supplied is not valid " Aside from that and the fact that I changed the datatype of "doc_root" in main and do_session to std::string, it's the same. Source code is here: https://github.com/DragonOsman/currency_converter . If I should put all of the info I have in the issue opened on GitHub here as well, please let me know and I'll do it.

[boost::filesystem::path] removing components of a path
by Sean Farrow 08 Mar '19

08 Mar '19

Hi all, I'm revisiting boost::filesystem::path after not using it for a while and wondered whether there is a way to remove parts of a path deeper than a specific directory? By way of an example, assume I have the following path declared: boost::filesystem::path path ="d:\\test1\\test2\\test3.txt" what I want to do is determine whether test2 exists as part of the path and if it does remove everything after and including the found part of the path, so in this case \\test2\\test3.txt<file://test2/test3.txt> would be removed. I could do it by converting the path to a string, but wondered whether boost::filesystem could do this natively in some way. Any help appreciated. Kind regards Sean.

Using domain-based SSL certificate with Boost.Beast
by Osman Zakir 05 Mar '19

05 Mar '19

I looked at this example server certificate in the Boost.Beast repository: https://github.com/boostorg/beast/blob/develop/example/common/server_certif… . I have a free SSL certificate that I got for my Dynamic DNS subdomain name which doesn't have DH parameters but does have a certificate chain and a private key. I don't know what to put for ctx.set_options or ctx.set_password_callback. I tried asking at Let's Encrypt as well: https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/how-to-secure-dynamic-dns/87816/19 . I decided to ask here because they said they can't advise me on how to do it with Boost. I don't want to try a reverse proxy.

[MPL][MP11] Return value of at_c for out of range index
by Mateusz Loskot 05 Mar '19

05 Mar '19

Hi, While porting some code from MPL to MP11, the latter helped to find some bugs in the ported code [1] I looked closer at those and found 'behavioural' differences between MPL and MP11 when accessing sequences with index value that is out of range. Could anyone help me to understand the following? 1. Why this compiles? using R = at_c<range_c<int, 0, 1>, 100>::type; Tested in C++11 using GCC, clang, MSVC from VS2017/2019 2. Why this compiles in GCC and clang, but fails with MSVC? using V = at_c<vector3_c<unsigned, 1, 2, 3>, 100>::type::type; 3. For GCC and clang, why this compiles static_assert(std::is_same<R, integral_c<int, 100>>::value, ""); but this fails? static_assert(std::is_same<V, integral_c<unsigned int, 100>>::value, ""); Don't vector_c and range_c yield equivalent sequences? By the way, MP11's mp_at_c yield void, as expected, there also no ::type or ::value member, so diagnostics is clearer.

Spatial search with boost r tree
by Bozo Vazic 01 Mar '19

01 Mar '19

Hi all, I'm trying to create a boost r tree with packing algorithm that will store 2D or 3D geometric points. This will be applied in side my peridynamic software for what we call "family search". Family search is basically a simple spatial search where each point of the peridynamic mesh (cloud of geometric points) needs to find all points inside it's horizon (horizon is for 2D a circle with a specific radius and for 3D it's a sphere with a specific radius). What I've found so far were examples for distance search using a random point (not the point that is a r-tree member). I did a distance and index check using bg::index::satisfies by passing a method that checks if the index is different and is distance smaller than radius. Also I use within(box) to constrain my search, but I'm not sure that is the correct way to use r tree spatial search for the point that is a member of the same r tree. Because as far as I understand the point in the r-tree knows has the information of boxes in which it is contained, so wouldn't there be a way to query the tree member using using only the horizon value? The reason why I'm asking this question is because I need to define most optimal spatial search so that query times don't take to long. This is important as I can have several million points that need to be constantly queried. Thnx in advance for all the help. Best Regads Bozo Here is my code for 2D search of only one point #include "stdafx.h" #include <boost/function_output_iterator.hpp> #include <boost/geometry/index/rtree.hpp> #include <boost/geometry.hpp> #include <boost/geometry/geometries/point.hpp> #include <boost/geometry/geometries/box.hpp> #include <vector> #include <iostream> namespace bg = boost::geometry; namespace bgi = bg::index; typedef bg::model::point <double, 2, bg::cs::cartesian> point; typedef std::pair<point, std::size_t> pointI; typedef bg::model::box<point> box; typedef std::pair<point, unsigned> value; bool CheckIndexAndDist(pointI i, pointI j, size_t dist); std::vector<uint64_t> res; struct StoreDataCallback { template <typename Value> void operator()(Value const& v) { res.push_back(v.second); } }; int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { std::vector<point> contourCenters; // has some value std::vector<pointI> cloud; double length = 2000; double width = 2000; double dX = length/1000.0; double horizon = 3.015*dX; for(int i = 0; i < length; i++) { for(int j = 0; j < width; j++) { point p; p.set<0>((-1.0 * length / 2.0) + dX + j * dX); p.set<1>((-1.0 * width / 2.0) + dX + i * dX); contourCenters.push_back(p); } } size_t id_gen = 0; std::transform( contourCenters.begin(), contourCenters.end(), back_inserter(cloud), [&](point const& p) { return std::make_pair(p, id_gen++); } ); bgi::rtree<pointI, bgi::quadratic<16> > rtree(cloud); // spatial search box query_box(point(cloud[10].first.get<0>() - 3.2*dX, cloud[10].first.get<1>() - 3.2*dX),point(cloud[10].first.get<0>() + 3.2*dX, cloud[10].first.get<1>() + 3.2*dX)); StoreDataCallback callback; rtree.query( bgi::within(query_box) && bgi::satisfies([&](value const& v) {return CheckIndexAndDist(v, cloud[10],3.015*dX);}), boost::make_function_output_iterator(callback)); return 0; } bool CheckIndexAndDist(pointI i, pointI j, size_t dist) { if( i.second != j.second && (bg::distance(i.first, j.first) < dist)) return true; else return false; }
