Generating a fully namespaced boost installation
by Janosch Machowinski 07 Jan '25

07 Jan '25

Hi, we ran into an issue, were the system installation of boost is exposed by a third party lib we rely on (ROS), but it contains a bug. The bug in boost is fixed in a way more recent version of boost, therefore we are looking into using two versions of boost at the same time. To archive this, we want to run the newer boost version in a custom namespace, and already found the bcp tool, that helps with generating a namespace version of boost for us. The issue we are now hitting is, that the includes in our custom boost version are not altered by bcp, and therefore pick up the system headers. E.g. geometry.hpp contains '#include <boost/geometry/geometry.hpp>' but in order to work for us, it would need to be '#include <our_boost/geometry/geometry.hpp>'. Are we missing some magical bcp option, or is this just not supported ?

asio::strand: Order of execution
by Georg Gast 27 Dec '24

27 Dec '24

Hi, If I use a asio::strand and post() there multiple function objects, are they executed in the same order or is the order of execution not specified? I think to use it as a work queue but I need them to be processed in sequence... Thx Georg

[release] Boost 1.87.0 beta 1 released
by Marshall Clow 16 Nov '24

16 Nov '24

Boost release 1.86.0 beta 1 is now available at: https://archives.boost.io/beta/1.87.0.beta1/source/ The SHA256 checksums are: 2e7cdf358526e8937b36b93fc96c501b8d6a0c8436e95e65440de31c48ec3086 boost_1_87_0_b1.tar.bz2 98a86940c13509dfd0288a3075280f46a76c9a3faeb8a9bf49ca7f9e6a271995 boost_1_87_0_b1.tar.gz 2ca4c019d0c96fd160dec5292a7a6bfcf7b4e592cd238a2207e17084f8021d08 boost_1_87_0_b1.zip 5ea32facd963dbb79ceb5bda7ef7546017ea5da854158f8933bbad74d6bbe622 boost_1_87_0_b1.7z This is slightly different than the RC3. Someone committed a documentation fix to master after we had started the release process, and rather than re-do the whole thing (and re-tag everything), we decided to go with the release that we prepared. The person who did this has been informed of the problems that he caused, and I don’t think he’ll do it again. Release notes (still need updates): https://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_87_x.html Please try the beta and report any problems you encounter. Thanks to everyone who contributed to the release. -- Boost Release Team

[PFR] names_as_array doesn't work for structs with array fields
by Chinmay Dalal 23 Sep '24

23 Sep '24

Hi, `boost::pfr::names_as_array<T>()` does not compile if `T` has an array member. Someone commented a fix on a similar issue: https://github.com/boostorg/pfr/issues/170 What would be the appropriate place to ask for including this fix? Background: I'm trying to print structs as CSV. I came up with this: https://paste.sr.ht/~p00f/667e013c23c991ddec91e9cdaa00bd3c11cb2ceb But as soon as I include an array member: https://paste.sr.ht/~p00f/aa08531cd100f8b94c49ead2c541ff96f55b362e it does not compile: https://paste.sr.ht/~p00f/636c1e3ab4f5ba86aa865f70f32337b3d2872047 Thanks, Chinmay

Boost.Asio UDP sockets guarantee for ordering
by Kalesis, Ioannis 18 Sep '24

18 Sep '24

Hello, I am using boost.asio for udp sockets to broadcast multicast traffic. For that, I am using async_send methods. I am aware that there is no guarantee for the order of the completion handlers for the async_send calls, and for that reason I have implemented a queueing mechanism, where the coroutine waits for the current async_send to complete before moving forward to the next call. However, given the low latency requirement of the application, I believe that the following approach may be more optimal: * The async_send operation would happen immediately one after another (not concurrently) without waiting for the previous ones to complete. * The queueing mechanism would be used but only for the post processing work completion handlers. The above will provide both better latency (by sending the packets sooner instead of having to enqeue/spawn_co/dequeue) and still maintain the strict ordering requirement of the post processing work. However, one concern that I have with this approach is with the "multiple" async_send calls being made one after the other. After searching on this topic, I arrived at the conclusion that this is "safe" given that they are not composed operations so there is no risk that the data will be interleaved between packets. The point that I need help understanding is whether there is a guarantee on the order of the packets being enqueued to kernels network stack. For the following example: ``` udp_socket.async_send(packet1,...); upd_socket.async_send(packet2,...); ``` Is there any possible way for "packet2" to be enqueued 1st in the kernel network stack? Similarly, Is it possible for it to be sent by the OS 1st? I acknowledge that even if everything went perfect on the machine, packets could still be received out-of-order to the clients and that is acceptable, however I would like at least to not have the application contribute to this as part of a software issue. The application has multiple threads that run the same io_context with strands in place to have thread-safety. My machine is a redhat 9, gcc 11.4 Thank you in advance for your time and cooperation. Best regards

[filesystem] why is this file not found?
by Michael Burr 04 Sep '24

04 Sep '24

I'm having difficulty using boost/filesystem.hpp on a simple test example. If I understand things correctly, this code should see if it can find the files called "test_file" and "test_file2" in the current directory. ``` #include <boost/filesystem.hpp> #include <iostream> using namespace boost::filesystem; int main() { path file1 = "test_file", file2 = "test_file2"; if(status(file1).type() == file_not_found) std::cout << "First file not found\n"; if(status(file2).type() == file_not_found) std::cout << "Second file not found\n"; return 0; } ``` If I run the following, ``` touch test_file g++ filesystem_check.cpp -lboost_filesystem ./a.out ``` the result is > First file not found > Second file not found I expected only the second file to be not found. I arrived at this question because exists(file1) was returning false when I thought it should return true, and I traced the issue back to this check. I've also tried this example with an absolute path, and the results were the same. This is using Boost 1.81 installed via macports on a mac with OS 12.5.1 (so slightly out-of-date OS). Is this a mac issue or am I missing something in my code?
