Statechart serialization
by mbrodeur65 04 Mar '15

Hi, I'm looking for a solution to serialize boost::statechart objects. I'm aware that this feature is on the statechart library todo list but was wondering if there are any workaround to achieve this with the latest boost release (1.34) ? thanks for your help ! mbrodeur65 -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Statechart-serialization-tf4131326.html#a11749139 Sent from the Boost - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Ok, so this explains the 6, and also explains the 1 for the run_one() test (i.e. my handler did not get invoked). I added run_one() a second time (with reset() in between) and my handler was invoked and count equals 1 as expected . > > run_one() is intended to be called in a loop with other "idle" work -- but > using run() is preferred whenever you can just post the extra work to the > io_service anyway.

Yes. This was only a small test program to help me understand ASIO better. I was trying to use CTRL C was a mechanism to introduce a console event (also looked at posix::stream_descriptor) into the mix of socket (android) and serial port (arduino) events. thanks again.

[msm] Stuck in pseudo exit
by Chrisopher Vogl 02 Mar '15

02 Mar '15

Hi all, I have got a sub state machine (called Calibrate) which is exited via a pseudo exit on an event called Ev_Exit. The event is triggered on the return of a synchronous D-Bus call. So far everything works fine. Now I wanted to use an async D-Bus call and trigger the event in the finished-handler of the asynchronous D-Bus call. I can see that the event is released and that the transition into the pseudo exit takes place but the control is not given back to the outer state machine, i.e. the following transition in the outer state machine is not executed: Row < Calibrate::exit_pt<PseudoExit> , Ev_Exit , CheckNFC , none , none >, Instead I get the log output that there is no transition for event Ev_Exit in the sub machine: user.notice tm-calibration: void hale::tmop::Calibration_::Calibrate_::CheckKconst::on_exit(const Event&, FSM&) [with Event = hale::tmop::Ev_Exit; FSM = boost::msm::back::state_machine<hale::tmop::Calibration_::Calibrate_>] user.notice tm-calibration: void hale::tmop::PseudoExit::on_entry(const Event&, FSM&) [with Event = hale::tmop::Ev_Exit; FSM = boost::msm::back::state_machine<hale::tmop::Calibration_::Calibrate_>] user.notice tm-calibration: void hale::tmop::Calibration_::Calibrate_::no_transition(const Event&, FSM&, int) [with FSM = boost::msm::back::state_machine<hale::tmop::Calibration_::Calibrate_>; Event = hale::tmop::Ev_Exit], No transition from state I get the same behaviour when I try to use Glib's signal_timeout() to generate timeout events in a sub machine. Then the sub machine gets also stuck in the pseudo exit. I'm using boost 1.53. The program is not multi-threaded and I'm using Glib's main loop. Part of transition table in sub machine called Calibrate: ... Row < CheckKconst , Ev_Exit , PseudoExit , none , is_exit_ok >, Row < CheckKconst , Ev_Exit , ShowDesc , showImpError , is_exit_error >, ... with enum ExitReason { EXIT_REASON_NONE, EXIT_REASON_OK, EXIT_REASON_TIMEOUT, EXIT_REASON_ERROR }; struct Ev_Exit { ExitReason exitReason_; std::string message_; int code_; Ev_Exit() : exitReason_( EXIT_REASON_NONE ), code_( 0 ) {} Ev_Exit( ExitReason exitReason, std::string message = "", int code = 0 ) : exitReason_( exitReason ), message_( message ), code_( code ) {} template <class Event> Ev_Exit( Event const& ) : exitReason_( EXIT_REASON_NONE ), code_( 0 ) {} }; struct is_exit_ok { template <class EVT, class FSM, class SourceState, class TargetState> bool operator()( EVT const& evt, FSM& fsm, SourceState& ss, TargetState& ts ) { return evt.exitReason_ == EXIT_REASON_OK; } }; struct PseudoExit : public msm::front::exit_pseudo_state<Ev_Exit> { template <class Event,class FSM> void on_entry( Event const& evt, FSM& fsm ) {} template <class Event,class FSM> void on_exit( Event const& evt, FSM& fsm ) {} };

problems building
by Nathan Ridge 28 Feb '15

28 Feb '15

Hi list, I'm trying to build Boost for the first time in a while, and getting unexpected errors. I have a git checkout of the 'master' branch, but I've also tried with the 'boost-1.57.0' tag and had the same problem. The build command I'm running is './b2 --with-filesystem', and the errors I'm getting are of the following form: gcc.compile.c++ bin.v2/libs/system/build/gcc-4.9.0/release/threading-multi/error_code.o In file included from libs/system/src/error_code.cpp:16:0: ./boost/system/error_code.hpp:18:39: fatal error: boost/utility/enable_if.hpp: No such file or directory #include <boost/utility/enable_if.hpp> ^ compilation terminated.

What am I missing? Thanks, Nate [1] https://github.com/boostorg/system/blob/master/include/boost/system/error_c… [2] https://github.com/boostorg/utility/tree/master/include/boost/utility

[Units] Heterogeneous unit for pressure per time
by Dina Goldshtein 28 Feb '15

28 Feb '15

Hi, I asked about this in StackOverflow<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27519186/boost-heterogeneous-unit-bar-pe…> but didn't get any answers so I thought I'd try here as well. I need to create a unit which represents pressure per time, specifically Bar per Minute. I tried creating it in the same way as I created similar units before: typedef boost::units::derived_dimension<boost::units::length_base_dimension, -1, boost::units::mass_base_dimension, 1, boost::units::time_base_dimension, -3>::type pressure_roc_dimension; typedef boost::units::unit<pressure_roc_dimension, boost::units::make_system<boost::units::metric::bar_base_unit, boost::units::metric::minute_base_unit>::type> bar_per_minute_unit; BOOST_UNITS_STATIC_CONSTANT(BarPerMinute, bar_per_minute_unit::unit_type); typedef boost::units::quantity<bar_per_minute_unit, double> BarPerMinuteRoC; And then I try to use it: BarPerMinuteRoC bpm = 5.0 * BarPerMinute; But this line doesn't compile with quite a long error trail which I'm having a bit of trouble understanding fully. 1>c:\workspace\externals\boost_1_57_0\include\boost\units\detail\linear_algebra.hpp(197): error C2039: 'item' : is not a member of 'boost::units::dimensionless_type' 1>

homogeneous system can only be composed of linearly independent base units. In my case, I'm trying to mix bars (which in turn "contain" seconds as the time element) with minutes. This sounds problematic to me. But on the other hand, since I don't include mass and length base units in my system it seems to me that the base is independent after all. In any case, I searched online for an example of creating such a heterogeneous unit but didn't find anything comprehensible. Also, I read in the Boost documentation that a heterogeneous unit doesn't preserve information about how it was created. Does this mean I won't be able to, for instance, multiply BarPerMinuteRoC by Minute and get Bar back? Thanks a lot!

[Preprocessor] Compile error after change from Boost 1.55 to 1.57
by Franz Alt 28 Feb '15

28 Feb '15

Hi, I've written some preprocessor directives to generate functions for a class. With Boost 1.55 everything works fine with gcc and clang. When I try to change to Boost 1.57 I've got some strange compile errors. I'm happy if someone could help. Thanks Franz gcc 4.9.1 failed with error: test.cpp:33:1: error: macro "BOOST_PP_SEQ_ELEM_III" requires 2 arguments, but only 1 given ) ^ test.cpp:33:1: error: macro "BOOST_PP_VARIADIC_ELEM_2" requires 4 arguments, but only 2 given test.cpp:60:1: error: macro "BOOST_PP_SEQ_ELEM_III" requires 2 arguments, but only 1 given MY_FUNCTION_BEGIN((b)) ^ test.cpp:60:1: error: macro "BOOST_PP_VARIADIC_ELEM_2" requires 4 arguments, but only 2 give clang 3.5.0 failed with error: test.cpp:30:3: error: too few arguments provided to function-like macro invocation MY_FUNCTIONS( \ ^ test.cpp:25:25: note: expanded from macro 'MY_FUNCTIONS' BOOST_PP_SEQ_FOR_EACH(FUNCTION_DECL, _, seq) ^ ..../boost.1_57_0/boost/preprocessor/seq/for_each.hpp:26:67: note: expanded from macro 'BOOST_PP_SEQ_FOR_EACH' # define BOOST_PP_SEQ_FOR_EACH(macro, data, seq) BOOST_PP_FOR((macro, data, seq (nil)), BOOST_PP_SEQ_FOR_EACH_P, BOOST_PP_SEQ_FOR_EACH_O, BOOST_PP_SEQ_FOR_EACH_M) ^ ..../boost.1_57_0/boost/preprocessor/repetition/detail/for.hpp:22:78: note: expanded from macro 'BOOST_PP_FOR_1' # define BOOST_PP_FOR_1(s, p, o, m) BOOST_PP_FOR_1_C(BOOST_PP_BOOL(p(2, s)), s, p, o, m) ^ note: (skipping 18 expansions in backtrace; use -fmacro-backtrace-limit=0 to see all) packages/boost/boost_i4/boost/preprocessor/seq/elem.hpp:22:39: note: expanded from macro 'BOOST_PP_SEQ_ELEM' # define BOOST_PP_SEQ_ELEM(i, seq) BOOST_PP_SEQ_ELEM_I(i, seq) ^ packages/boost/boost_i4/boost/preprocessor/seq/elem.hpp:41:45: note: expanded from macro 'BOOST_PP_SEQ_ELEM_I' # define BOOST_PP_SEQ_ELEM_I(i, seq) BOOST_PP_SEQ_ELEM_II(BOOST_PP_SEQ_ELEM_ ## i seq) ^ packages/boost/boost_i4/boost/preprocessor/seq/elem.hpp:43:62: note: expanded from macro 'BOOST_PP_SEQ_ELEM_II' # define BOOST_PP_SEQ_ELEM_II(im) BOOST_PP_SEQ_ELEM_III(im) ^ packages/boost/boost_i4/boost/preprocessor/seq/elem.hpp:44:13: note: macro 'BOOST_PP_SEQ_ELEM_III' defined here # define BOOST_PP_SEQ_ELEM_III(x, _) x The program is: #include <iostream> #ifndef BOOST_PP_VARIADICS #define BOOST_PP_VARIADICS #endif #include <boost/preprocessor.hpp> #define ADD_CONST_REF(op, data, elem) elem const & #define FUNCTION_DECL(r, data, tup) \ double BOOST_PP_TUPLE_ELEM(0, tup) \ BOOST_PP_IF(BOOST_PP_LIST_IS_NIL(BOOST_PP_TUPLE_TO_LIST(BOOST_PP_TUPLE_ELEM(1, tup))), \ (), \ BOOST_PP_SEQ_TO_TUPLE( \ BOOST_PP_SEQ_TRANSFORM( \ ADD_CONST_REF, \ _, \ BOOST_PP_TUPLE_TO_SEQ(BOOST_PP_LIST_TO_TUPLE(BOOST_PP_TUPLE_TO_LIST(BOOST_PP_TUPLE_ELEM(1, tup)))) \ ) \ ) \ ) \ const; #define MY_FUNCTIONS(seq) \ BOOST_PP_SEQ_FOR_EACH(FUNCTION_DECL, _, seq) class Foo { public: MY_FUNCTIONS( \ ((a, (int))) \ ((b) ) \ ) }; #define ADD_ARG(op, data, elem) elem const & BOOST_PP_CAT(a_, elem) #define MY_FUNCTION_BEGIN(tup) \ double Foo::BOOST_PP_TUPLE_ELEM(0, tup) \ BOOST_PP_IF(BOOST_PP_LIST_IS_NIL(BOOST_PP_TUPLE_TO_LIST(BOOST_PP_TUPLE_ELEM(1, tup))), \ (), \ BOOST_PP_SEQ_TO_TUPLE( \ BOOST_PP_SEQ_TRANSFORM( \ ADD_ARG, \ _, \ BOOST_PP_TUPLE_TO_SEQ(BOOST_PP_LIST_TO_TUPLE(BOOST_PP_TUPLE_TO_LIST(BOOST_PP_TUPLE_ELEM(1, tup)))) \ ) \ ) \ ) const \ { #define MY_FUNCTION_END() } MY_FUNCTION_BEGIN((a, (int))) { std::cout << "Foo::a(" << a_int << ")\n"; } MY_FUNCTION_END() MY_FUNCTION_BEGIN((b)) { std::cout << "Foo::b()\n"; } MY_FUNCTION_END() int main() { Foo f; f.a(42); f.b(); return 0; }
