Containers for already allocated memory
by Chris Jefferson 21 May '08

21 May '08

I am surprised that Boost does not seem to contain a vector-like container which uses a pre-allocated block of memory. In my own code I find this very useful, in particular with memory allocated by 'alloca'. Have I missed such a package? Is there any interest in such a package being submitted to boost if I tidied up my own code? Chris

boost::any question
by Hansi 21 May '08

21 May '08

Hello, I want to use boost::any in a project where I want store different values or pointers. What is the fastest solution to make the different actions for different value types? Using the type() member function? Is it also possible to detect if the value is a pointer or a value? Best regards Hansjörg

ptr_set
by Surya Kiran Gullapalli 21 May '08

21 May '08

Hello all, I'm trying to use ptr_set with my class Hierarchy. Base is an abstract base class with a bunch of pure virtual functions. I've some derived classes with those virtual functions defined in them. I'm using this Base class hierarchy in another class (say Other). So I've declared a member variable of Other as ptr_set<Base> m_items ; this works fine on linux with gcc-4.2 but with VS2005, I'm getting a compilation error, saying that It cannot instantiate base class as it is having pure virtual functions. Am I doing some thing wrong here ? Surya

Boost::intrusive container of pointers
by Swadhin Bhide 21 May '08

21 May '08

Is it possible to store CBaseObject* (base class pointers) in slist, hashtable, rbtree and avl tree? I am deriving CBaseObject from slist_base_hook, set_base_hook etc. But when using member_hook<CBaseObject*,...) and rbtree<CBaseObject*,...>, I am getting compiler errors. Boost documentation provides examples about objects and smart pointers. But can we store raw pointers in intrusive containers?

[intrusive] slist: strange behaviour when using cache_last
by Christian Rössel 21 May '08

21 May '08

Hi, I have two slists and transfer items between them via splice() methods. Without cache_last everything works as expected. With cache_last the third call to splice does not transfer the list element. Am I using something wrong or is this a bug in intrusive? Thanks, Christian #include <boost/intrusive/slist.hpp> #include <boost/intrusive/slist_hook.hpp> #include <cassert> using namespace boost::intrusive; class MyClass : public slist_base_hook<> { int int_; public: MyClass(int i) : int_(i) {} }; typedef slist<MyClass, cache_last<true> > MyList; int main () { MyList freeList; for (int j = 0; j < 5; ++j) { freeList.push_front (*(new MyClass (j))); } MyList listInUse; // transfer first element of freeList to listInUse size_t free = freeList.size (); size_t inUse = listInUse.size (); listInUse.splice (listInUse.begin (), freeList, freeList.begin ()); assert (freeList.size () == free - 1); assert (listInUse.size () == inUse + 1); // transfer all elements of listInuse to freeList free = freeList.size (); inUse = listInUse.size (); freeList.splice (freeList.begin (), listInUse); assert (listInUse.empty ()); assert (freeList.size () == free + inUse); // again, transfer first element of freeList to listInUse free = freeList.size (); inUse = listInUse.size (); listInUse.splice (listInUse.begin (), freeList, freeList.begin ()); assert (freeList.size () == free - 1); // fails, sizes are 5 and 0 assert (listInUse.size () == inUse + 1); // release memory omitted return 0; }

shared container class with read/write mutex
by Selçuk Giray Özdamar 21 May '08

21 May '08

Hi everyone, can anyone send a simple container class implementation, which supports concurrent reads and exclusive write. I'm seeking for the usage of shared_lock for read/write mutex. My simple template class snippet is shown below, please reply how to fill the comments for locking. Thnx. // std includes #include <vector> // boost includes #include <boost/thread/shared_mutex.hpp> template <typename T> class SharedContainer { public: SharedContainer (void){} ~SharedContainer (void){} void push_back(const T& value); const T& at(int index) const; private: std::vector<T> m_buffer; boost::shared_mutex rw_mutex; //is this the correct class for rw mutex? }; template <typename T> void EntityUpdateBuffer<T>::push_back( const T& value ) { // how to acquire a write lock? m_buffer.push_back(value); } template <typename T> const T& EntityUpdateBuffer<T>::at( int index ) const { // how to acquire read lock? return m_buffer.at(index); } Selcuk Giray

Design question (something like properties)
by Hansi 21 May '08

21 May '08

Hello, at the moment I want to solve the following problem: I have a data struct which has several fields. Now I need to expose this fields as name/value pairs (the best would be if the value is a ref parameter). Okay I can write this things by hand. But is there some solution available to automate this? e.g. some metaprogramming with which I can solve this problem? Has anyone an idea? Best regards Hansjörg

Named mutex..
by Jason Robertson 21 May '08

21 May '08

Hi, I'm trying to create simple locks based on a string name. I looked at the interprocess module which has a named mutex, but it seems not well suited/efficient for use in a single process, though I know it's supposed to work. Instead, I'm just creating a map<string,weak_ptr<mutex>> in a NamedMutexManager class. It's used as a singleton and uses brute force locking to implement a named lock pattern. Main method is shared_ptr<mutex> GetMutex(string name) { BigLock (only one thread at a time can get a lock so we synchronize access to map) check map if we have entry, make sure weak_ptr hasn't been reclaimed If so, make a new shared_ptr, save weak_ptr by name, return shared_ptr If not, return shared_ptr copy from weak_ptr.lock() If we habe no entry, make a new shared_ptr, save weak_ptr by name, return shared_ptr } I'm just getting back to C++ after years, so I'm 99% sure there's probably a much better way. Is there a better way to do an intra-process, reliable mutex by std::string name so I can lock things by name? How are other people doing this, do you find interprocess:named_mutex suitable for use in-process? I had problems with it. Thanks! Jason

Boost.Python Quickstart Test Fails/segfaults with 64-bit Python 2.5
by Eric Newhuis 20 May '08

20 May '08

[Boost.Python] On my platform: Linux 2.6.9-67.0.1.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Nov 30 11:57:43 EST 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux I verified that the boost python tests fail only when I provide a user-config.jam file that points to a 64-bit Python 2.5. If I don't provide such a file then the default choices made by BJAM result in a passing test. It doesn't matter if threading=single or multi or variant=debug or release. I get similar results. Does anyone have a clue what is going on and how to fix this? #0 0x0000000000000000 in ??
