Issues with boost executor_work_guard
by João Fernando Silva 22 Apr '25

22 Apr '25

Hello all, We are facing some issues with boost::asio::executor_work_guard. We are spawning some threads which are bound to a boost::asio::io_context and proteced by a boost::asio::executor_work_guard so that they do not exit even if there is no work to be done. However, despite the work_guard still being valid, we see that the threads exit because boost::asio::detail::scheduler::outstanding_work reaches 0. All operations added to the queue are posted asynchronously. The boost version in use is 1.75 (also tested with 1.78 and the behaviour is the same). Could you help us on the following topics so that we can understand what the root cause may be? 1 - We created an implementation to track the number of elements on boost::asio::detail::op_queue, is this implementation valid? uint32_t size() { auto tmp_op = front_; uint32_t size{0}; while (tmp_op != 0) { ++size; tmp_op = op_queue_access::next(tmp_op); } return size; } 2 - Assuming the approach above is correct, we are trying to compare the values of outstanding_work with the returned value of op_queue.size(). However, these values do not seem to correlate, is this to be expected? 3 - Was this issue observed by someone else? If so what were the root causes? Thanks!

boost.parser parse int or double?
by kila suelika 12 Apr '25

12 Apr '25

``` #include <boost/parser/parser.hpp> #include <iostream> #include <string> #include <variant> namespace bp = boost::parser; auto numeric_parser = bp::int_ | bp::double_; //auto numeric_parser = bp::double_ | bp::int_; void parse_number(const std::string& input) { auto result = bp::parse(input, numeric_parser); if (result) { std::visit([](auto&& arg) { using T = std::decay_t<decltype(arg)>; if constexpr (std::is_same_v<T, int>) std::cout << "Integer: " << arg << std::endl; else if constexpr (std::is_same_v<T, double>) std::cout << "double: " << arg << std::endl; }, *result); } else { std::cout << "Parsing failed:" << " (" << input << ")" << std::endl; } } int main() { parse_number("24"); parse_number("24.3"); return 0; } ``` Above code failed to parse "24.3" which makes me confused. First int should failed but why it didn't match double? If use ``` auto numeric_parser = bp::double_ | bp::int_; ``` then all number parsed to double.

by Дмитрий Архипов 11 Apr '25

11 Apr '25

The review for the proposed Boost.OpenMethod library by Jean-Louis Leroy is scheduled to take place from April 28 to May 07. OpenMethods solve the Expression Problem by making it possible to define free virtual functions, i.e. virtual functions that exist outside of a class The library repository is here: https://github.com/jll63/Boost.OpenMethod. The documentation is here: https://jll63.github.io/Boost.OpenMethod.

Re: [Boost-users] JSON Schema support in C++ with boost::json?

> 3. Generate validation code that can emit informative messages about failed validation. Valijson ( https://github.com/tristanpenman/valijson ) apparently supports Boost.Json for schema validation, although I haven't used it personally. Most C++ implementations of schema validation don't support a lot of the newer JSON schema versions. You could take a look at some of the C++ tools at https://json-schema.org/tools?query=&sortBy=name&sortOrder=ascending&groupB… Regards, Alex Simpson

JSON Schema support in C++ with boost::json?
by Nigel Stewart 07 Apr '25

07 Apr '25

Hello all, There are a couple of things I'd like to do with JSON Schema in C++, which are similar to protobuf, but JSON-centric. 1. Generate a C++17 struct from a JSON Schema, names, types, optionality, nested data, arrays. 2. Generate C++17 code for serialising to/from the natve C++17 struct. 3. Generate validation code that can emit informative messages about failed validation. Seems to me this problem isn't specific to our application stack. Essentially we want to pass state between NodeJS and core C++ modules and have those interfaces evolve over time in a maintainable way. What's out there? - Nigel Stewart
