Problems downloading boost on Linux
by Gonzalo Garramuño 01 Jan '24

01 Jan '24

I have tried downloading boost 1.76 on Linux from Argentina with: curl -# -L -o boost_1_76_0.zip.tmp https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/1.76.0/source/boost_1_76… and also from the boost web page. This leads to a redirect to JFrog. I tried creating an account with both Google (which led to Invalid credentials - you might not be a registered MyJFrog user. Please try again. ) and with a new account on JFrog which sent me an email requesting my company: To confirm this request, please include the license owner or any other support contact associated with your company's subscription approval in this email thread. Are the boost libraries at www.boost.org available for free or only under subscription? I found I can still download them from sourceforge, of course, but I would need to patch any dependencies that point to the older web-site. -- Gonzalo Garramuño ggarra13(a)gmail.com

Handshake Error 10009

Hello, I tried use the boost::asio to create a SSL-Server, but I fail. The Code I used is attached to this Text. acceptor_ and context_ give me true result, but the start_accept() methode give me a Handshake-Error: 10009 (invalid descriptor handle).

Boost Asio Multicast
by Georg Gast 18 Dec '23

18 Dec '23

Hi there, I wrote an application that is to a good part based on https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_83_0/doc/html/boost_asio/example/cpp11/mul… https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_83_0/doc/html/boost_asio/example/cpp11/mul… It worked OK on my laptop as the packages arrived in my vm and my host. As we tried it on real machines the packages did not arrive. (all windows machines). With *netsh interface ip show joins* I could see on my laptop that the join was on the ethernet card. On the real machines it choose "the wrong" network card. I tried with "outbound_interface" to change it but didn't work... It's all ipv4. Can or should I use a static route to get the packages into the right net segment? Bye Georg

[Boost.Asio] Asynchronous queue?
by accelerator0099 16 Dec '23

16 Dec '23

Consider the producer-consumer model: producer -+- consumer1 +- consumer2 +- consumer3 +- consumer4 +- consumer5 The producer periodly push items into a queue, and those consumers wait on that queue for items It's easy to implement in a synchronous, multi-threaded environment: the producer just locks the queue and push into it, and notify one consumer through a condition variable. Consumers waiting on that condition variable will be woken one by one, popping items and consume them How to do those in a asynchronous environment? Consumers async_pop() on that queue, posting their completion tokens into the executor. When there are items available, the executor notify one consumer by calling its completion token Is it right? How do the producer tell the executor "The asynchronous operation is done, You should call that completion token"? My implemention of a possible async queue (based on timers): #include <boost/asio.hpp> #include <deque> #include <iostream> using namespace std::literals; namespace io = boost::asio; using io::awaitable; auto& uawait = io::use_awaitable; template<class D> awaitable<void> delay(const D& dur) { io::steady_timer tm{ co_await io::this_coro::executor }; tm.expires_after(dur); co_await tm.async_wait(uawait); } template<class T> class aqueue { std::deque<T> mq; public: using reference = T&; using const_reference = const T&; size_t size() const noexcept { return mq.size(); } bool empty() const noexcept { return mq.empty(); } awaitable<T> async_pop() { while (empty()) { co_await delay(1ms); } auto t = std::move(mq.front()); mq.pop_front(); co_return t; } awaitable<void> async_push(T t) { mq.push_back(std::move(t)); co_return; } }; class consumer { public: const int id; aqueue<int>& queue; consumer(int _i, aqueue<int>& _q) : id{ _i }, queue{ _q } {} awaitable<void> operator()() { std::cout << "Consumer " << id << " started\n"; auto i = co_await queue.async_pop(); std::cout << "Consumer " << id << " got " << i << '\n'; } }; int main() { io::io_context ctx; aqueue<int> aq; auto producer = [&]() -> awaitable<void> { std::cout << "Producer started\n"; for (int i{}; i != 5; ++i) { co_await delay(1s); co_await aq.async_push(i); } }; io::co_spawn(ctx, producer, io::detached); for (int i{}; i != 5; ++i) io::co_spawn(ctx, consumer{ i, aq }, io::detached); std::cout << "RUN\n"; ctx.run(); return 0; } Is it a proper way to do so using timers? I think there should be a better way

Fin boost with cmake in config mode
by Alain O' Miniussi 15 Dec '23

15 Dec '23

Hi, I'd like to find Boost 1.84 from cmake 3.28 in config mode (https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/find_package.html#id6) My Boost distribution is in a non standard location <mypath> meaning, IF i UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY, that cmake will try to set Boost_DIR to <mypath>/lib/cmake/Boost-1.84.0/BoostConfig.cmake. Which environnement should I set so that it works ? Thanks ---- Alain Miniussi DSI, Pôles Calcul et Genie Log. Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur Tél. : +33609650665
