[serialization] Multiply defined symbol: guid_initializer
by Robert Dailey 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

Hi, I'm currently trying to polymorphically serialize a class without using RTTI. I'm doing this currently in a file called StaticText.hpp: #ifndef RS_GUI_WIDGETS_STATICTEXT_HPP #define RS_GUI_WIDGETS_STATICTEXT_HPP #include <boost/scoped_ptr.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/access.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/base_object.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/string.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/extended_type_info_no_rtti.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/export.hpp> #include <rs/gui/widgets/Widget.hpp> #include <rs/gui/Text.hpp> namespace rs { class StaticText : public Widget { public: StaticText( std::string const& text ); void Update(); void Render( RenderSystem& renderer, Camera& camera ); char const* get_key() const; private: StaticText() {} template< class Archive > void serialize( Archive& archive, unsigned int version ) { archive & boost::serialization::base_object<Widget>( *this ); std::string text; archive & text; m_text.reset( new Text( text ) ); } boost::scoped_ptr<Text> m_text; friend class boost::serialization::access; }; } BOOST_CLASS_TYPE_INFO( rs::StaticText, extended_type_info_no_rtti<rs::StaticText> ) BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT( rs::StaticText ) #endif // RS_GUI_WIDGETS_STATICTEXT_HPP When I compile this into a LIB first, and then link the lib into an EXE, the linker says this (Visual Studio 2008): *gui.lib(StaticText.obj) : error LNK2005: "public: static struct boost::archive::detail::guid_initializer<class rs::StaticText> const & const boost::archive::detail::init_guid<class rs::StaticText>::guid_initializer" (?guid_initializer@?$init_guid@VStaticText@rs@@@detail@archive@boost@ @2ABU?$guid_initializer@VStaticText@rs@@@234@B) already defined in main.obj* * * If I move the 2 macro calls into the StaticText.cpp file, everything compiles/links just fine but I end up getting an exception thrown at runtime that says "unregistered void cast".

[ASIO] Windows native type for ASIO serial port?
by Jeff Diewald 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

I have a boost::asio::serial_port object. What is the specific Windows type returned by native()? I'm having trouble with my serial communication across the serial port, and want to get more diagnostic information by going to the native level. The serial port hangs occasionally on a synchronous read_some call, and I haven't been able to figure out why. Ideally, I'd like to build a timeout into the synchronous call. Any help is appreciated, Jeff Diewald JEOL USA

Help using math functions
by Mario Chacon 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

Hello: First at all I do not know about math, but I need to do some animations. I need to simulate a movement of a ball into a pipe. I have all the interface working, but now I have to do the best way to give it life..:D. My fists steps was giving X,Y coordinates but I do not like this way, so I need some tips to make it more professional way. How can I use boost math functions to make it? Thank you.. masch... **

Hello Following my previous post, the transformed iterator has input iterator tag (not forward, not bidir, not random) BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(( boost::is_convertible< iteratorIntoFirst, std::input_iterator_tag >::value )); But it should be random_access... Is there anything extra I need to put in the Unary fct of transform_iterator? Rds,

[Multi-Index] crash on invariant_() violation
by Neil Hunt 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

Otherwise please get back here. > > Just weighing in here with a related question. But first to say: I find multi-index to be invaluable. So thanks for a great library. In my code, the objects I am indexing against are altered elsewhere, and then my index owning code is notified. At this point, the index owning code calls: index.modify( index_iterator, NoOperationFunctor() ); That is, on the assumption that the modify function has no knowledge of what changes the functor are making, it must re-evaluate all indices. Therefore, it doesn't matter if the change is made inside the modify function as long as modify is called. (So, this statement from above does not appear strictly true: "Key modification has to be done via modify() so as to give the container a chance to reindex elements.") Because (in my case) the change is made elsewhere, I am calling modify with a functor that does nothing. In my particular case, I can guarantee that change made elsewhere won't affect the index that I use to find the iterator to pass to modify. This may seem a weird scenario, but it also seems weird that I have to call modify with a no-op functor. Is it possible/desirable to add a simple update_indices( itor ) function? Neil

[Q] eliminating false memory leak reports
by V S P 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

Hello, I have a class (below), and MS memory leak detector reports a leak on ptr.reset I have redefined 'new' as follows: #define MYDEBUG_NEW new( _NORMAL_BLOCK, __FILE__, __LINE__) In another example, also below I have an _impl structure that is allocated and assign to typedef boost::shared_ptr<cmoney_impl_dtl> t_money_storage; My understanding is that it is a 'false' detection is that correct? In otherwords, in my thinking -- as long as I have assigned an object to boost::shared_ptr -- I do not have remember anything about it anymore. (using visual studio 2008, 32 bit) Another question, since I have all of my heap objects using boost::shared_ptr is there any free tool that I can use to verify that those things do not leak (as some of the are actually DB connections so it is important for them to get completely destroyed). Thank you in advance ---------------------------- template <typename TThrdData> struct CService_ThreadData:private boost::noncopyable { CService_ThreadData (void){}; ~CService_ThreadData (void){}; ///creates a new thread data object if does not exists //Call this from every thread to establish thread's data //manager object static TThrdData& getdata(void) { /* YES, using static variable in this case is safe, because it is in the 'global' scope and therefore is intialized before Main starts Otherwise, static variables are not thread safe */ if (ptr.get() == 0) { ptr.reset(new TThrdData()); } return (TThrdData&)(*ptr); } private: static boost::thread_specific_ptr<TThrdData> ptr; };//end of class -------------------------- cmoney_t::cmoney_t (void) :v(new cmoney_impl_dtl) { } -- V S P toreason(a)fastmail.fm -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Access your email from home and the web

date_time question
by Amadeus W.M. 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

The program below reads a date from a string -> istringstream -> ptime. The string contains comma separated fields, the first of which is a date in the format %Y-%m-%d (without %H:%M:%S): 2009-04-03,12.34,56.78 If I define a facet with in the format %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S then the program outputs 2009-Apr-03 12:34:56 i.e. it interprets the numbers following the date as %H:%M:%S even though they are separated by commas and dots, rather than colons. Is this normal behaviour? Would it be possible to make it leave alone the fields following the date? That is, do not interpret 12.34,56.78 as %H:%M:%S. Thanks! // g++ -g -Wall -o dateIOSimgleFmt -I/usr/local/include/boost-1_38 dateIOSingleFmt.C #include <iostream> #include <sstream> #include <cstdlib> #include <string> #include <boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time.hpp> using namespace std; using namespace boost::posix_time; int main(int argc, char * argv[]) { ptime pt(not_a_date_time); string datestr("2009-04-03,12.34,56.78"); const char * format="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"; istringstream INSTR(datestr); locale loc(INSTR.getloc(),new time_input_facet(format)); INSTR.imbue(loc); INSTR>>pt; cout << pt << endl; return 0; }

[asio] Setting UDP Source Port
by Scott McMurray 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

I'm writing an application that makes use of the source port in the UDP header. The only way I've found that sets it is by setting the endpoint on construction of the udp::socket. The problem with that, however, is that I have 3 different components that want to use that port, one listening and two sending. Understandably, I cannot bind the same port for all three. (Incidentally, while binding with the udp::socket constructor works, the bind call gives a bad file descriptor exception. I'm using 1.35, though, so that may have been fixed.) Is there some way to set the source port without binding? Since there's no session state, it seems like I should be able to send packets from any number of sockets. (I can't just share a socket, as they're not shared-objects thread-safe, according to the documentation.) Thanks, ~ Scott McMurray
