boost::asio acceptor::cancel() behavior.
by Jivan Amara 25 Feb '10

25 Feb '10

Hi all, I'm looking at the documentation for acceptor::cancel(), which states that it will: "Cancel all asynchronous operations associated with the acceptor.", then in the detailed description states: "This function causes all outstanding asynchronous connect, send and receive operations to finish immediately, and the handlers for cancelled operations will be passed the |boost::asio::error::operation_aborted| error. " The wording is unclear to me. What are send and receive operations associated with the acceptor? Are these reads and writes performed using sockets that were connected through this acceptor, or just the network overhead required to perform accepts? Thanks, Jivan

[Proto] Processing Lists
by David Greene 25 Feb '10

25 Feb '10

I want to process a list that looks something like this: struct List : or_< comma< List, Item >, Item > {}; But rather than processing each item separately, I want to pass a fusion (or some other) sequence to a semantic action: when< List, SomeAction(...) > {}; Ideally the argument to SomeAction would be a fusion sequence but I don't know how to produce one. This doesn't work: when< List, SomeAction(flatten(_)) > {}; because flatten is not a transform. I don't want to use fold_tree because I don't want to actually fold the sequence. SomeAction is something like this: struct SomeAction : callable { template<typename Seq> void operator()(Seq range) { typedef ... iterator; // Is this legal for fusion sequences? for(iterator i = begin(range), iend = end(range); i != iend; i = next(i)) { ... } } } Is there a way to do this? On a related note, I know I can use varag<> to match a function call expression with an arbitrary number of operands and invoke a transform on each operand. But how would I generate a fusion sequence of all the operands? In other words, with: proto::function< X, proto::vararg<Y> > how do I talk about the vararg<> part in a semantic action? CalculatorGrammar has a use of vararg but it uses fold<> to process it. I don't want to fold a sequence, I want to pass it to a transform. Thanks! -Dave

Newbie Xpressive Help Needed
by Timothy Sassone 25 Feb '10

25 Feb '10

I'm new to both boost and Xpressive, but I've worked with regex before. I've been able figure most of it out from the Xpressive user guide, but I'm having some trouble with a particular expression. I'm using Xpressive to "parse" files from a game called Dwarf Fortress, and one of the lines in the file has a couple places where some information is printed in a different format, or entirely excluded. The lines are describing the history of the game, specifically the rulers. For example, one line might look like this: *[*] Flichlikus (b.??? d. 3, Reign Began: 1), *** Original Line, Married (d. 91)* While another would look like this: *[*] Thufuchrunkin (b.3, Reign Began: 97), Inherited from mother, Married (d. 160)* Thus far, I've got it finding the ruler's name, and their birth date (or "???"). However, since the date of death is sometimes completely absent, I need some way to get the number if it's there, and skip it otherwise. From what I understand, I'll need to use the lookahead or lookbehind constructs, but they're well beyond what I've done with regex before, so I don't really even know where to begin. How would I go about retrieving the date of death if it's there, and otherwise skipping it entirely (or better yet, set it to a default value...)? Here's what I'm using to parse up through the date of birth... *mark_tag RU_Name(1), RU_Birth(2), RU_Death(3), RU_ReignBegin(4), RU_Line(5), RU_Married(6);* *sregex Reg_Ruler = " [*] " >> ( RU_Name = +(+_w|_s) ) >> "(b." >> (RU_Birth = (+(_d)|"???"));* * * Any help would be much appreciated, and a link to a decent tutorial to help me with Xpressive in general would be even better. Thanks! Tim

[iostream] exception propogation
by Anand Patel 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

I came across interesting exception propagation behavior across different platform (win32, linux). I have created several filters and custom filtering stream with my filters (boost 1.38-1.41). My filter throws BOOST_IOSTREAMS_FAILURE("some message"); whenever error condition occurs. On Linux exception gets propagated all the way to user using my stream. On Windows XP (VS 2008) it gets caught somewhere in boost framework or Windows. Moreover, after exception is silently caught and dropped, all the filters close method is called. This is where I run into issue. Is there anyway to ensure that upon exception no more data processing takes place withing filtering_stream and its chain? -Anand

Xcode and Boost
by David Rangel 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

Boost Users: I am interested in using Xcode on OSX to develop some code, and have been having some troubles compiling the regex example given at: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html I can compile using the command line, but not in Xcode. I do not know if this is the correct forum on which to post, but after some searching for my question on the web, I have not found a suitable answer. I am able to compile the simple first example using Xcode, by directing it to look for the header files and libraries. The same procedure does not work for the second example and the compilation fails. I am not sure if anyone is using the XCode development development environment and has run into this problem, but any hints would be appreciated. Thank you

[GIL] Fixed version
by Eloi Du Bois 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

Hi all, I downloaded the last version of boost (1.42), and I saw that there still remains errors I reported before. I give you the fixed version of both incorrect files. Example of error: channel.hpp:368: warning: left shift count >= width of type I hope this will help in making a stronger version of bgil :) Good luck, Eloi Du Bois.

boost::filesystem is not detecting symlinks on Linux /sys/devices directory
by Conrad Whelan 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

Hi, I'm writing some code to query the PCI bus for active devices. It should be pretty straightforward, as sysfs maps device information into the linux filesystem in the /sys directory. I simply need to recursively scan this directory until I find the device file corresponding to the devices of interest. I am having trouble with the scanning, using the boost::filesystem library. It seems that the is_symlink function on a path iterator is not correctly detecting a symlink. It correctly determines that the symlink is a directory, but not that it's a symlink. Simply put, I want my recursive code to follow normal directories, but not symlink directories... as it is, there is circular linkage through the /sys directory if I follow symlinks, so the loop goes infinite. Does anyone know how to distinguish between normal directories and symlink directories using boost::filesystem? thanks, conrad

Boost.Test and QProcess (Linux) memory access violation at address 0x00000000
by ariasgore＠gmx.de 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

Hello, Since boost do not provide a convenient way of calling processed I had to use Qt and QProcess to invoke an executable. I also have written tests for this situation. Which run great but fail while on OpenSuse 11.1 32 bit with boost test in 1.41.0 package. the test is fairly simple BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(test_) { Myobject g; // wrong path, this should throw BOOST_REQUIRE_NO_THROW(g.checkGdalwarp()); } The checkGdalwarp code is void checkGdalwarp() { QProcess testproc(this); testproc.start(MyObject::GDALWARP_PATH.c_str()); bool finished = testproc.waitForFinished(); if(!finished || ( finished && testproc.exitStatus()!=QProcess::NormalExit )) { throw errors::GdalWarpNotLocated(); } } The function works if called without boost test but it terribly fails while in the auto test case. Sometimes I get "exception thrown" in the test, if I repeat the method again I get a memory access violation at address 0x00000000 and this test method is stuck. So the execution of the test never finished (at least not the 10 hours since yesterday) This perfectly works on windows but never on linux.
