Composer issue with boost::log::sinks::event_log on VS2010
by Konrad Rybacki 11 Mar '14

11 Mar '14

Hello, I use basic_event_log_backend according to documentation<http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/log/doc/html/log/detailed/sink_ba…>- I add formatters to events with event_composer: sinks::event_log::event_composer composer( sinks::event_log::direct_event_id_mapping<int>("EventId") ); composer[MSG1] % expr::attr<WORD>("Tag1"); composer[MSG2] % expr::attr<DWORD>("Tag2"); composer[MSG3] % expr::attr<std::string>("Tag3"); backend->set_event_composer(composer); Unfortunately event log entries in event viewer are incomplete - i.e. there are still "%n" placeholders instead of their values. From what I have found while inspecting the code with debugger it seems that event_map_reference& operator% (FormatterT const& fmt)is never hit - so m_EventMap in composer is empty. I added a method that works the same way as mentioned operator: template< typename FormatterT > event_map_reference& add_formatter(FormatterT const &fmt) { m_Composer = m_Owner.add_formatter(m_ID, m_Composer, formatter_type(fmt)); return *this; } and call it explicitly, so the code looks like that: composer[MSG1].add_formatter(expr::attr<WORD>("Tag1")); composer[MSG2].add_formatter(expr::attr<DWORD>("Tag2")); composer[MSG3].add_formatter(expr::attr<std::string>("Tag3")); Now m_EventMap has three items - and I get empty strings instead of "%n" in event viewer. I pass the tag values with boost macro, i.e.: BOOST_LOG_SCOPED_THREAD_TAG("Tag3", std::string("value")); I am using Visual Studio 2010 compiler. Any ideas? Regards, Konrad.

Customizing locale of stream for Boost.Serialization seems to fail
by Christophe Fuzier 11 Mar '14

11 Mar '14

Hi, I have a problem with Boost.Serialization. I have posted a question on a forum but have not got any answer until now. Here is the reproduction of my post (note: I'm using Boost 1.48, patch level 0). I need to use Boost.Serialization to serialize floating-point numbers. Since NaN and infinites cannot natively be read from an input stream, I am trying to use the facets in boost/math/special_functions. I have tested them on my platform using code similar to the examples we can find here: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_50_0/libs/math/doc/sf_and_dist/html/math_to… However, the following code still fails to properly unserialize non-finite floating point values (an exception is thrown with description "input stream error"). #include <limits> #include <locale> #include <sstream> #include <boost/archive/xml_iarchive.hpp> #include <boost/archive/xml_oarchive.hpp> #include <boost/math/special_functions/nonfinite_num_facets.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/nvp.hpp> struct Data { float f; Data() : f(std::numeric_limits<float>::quiet_NaN()) {} template <class Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, unsigned const) { ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(f); } }; void test() { using namespace boost::archive; Data d; std::ostringstream oss; xml_oarchive oar(oss); oar << BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(d); //std::cout << oss.str() << std::endl; std::istringstream iss(oss.str()); std::locale const new_loc(iss.getloc(), new boost::math::nonfinite_num_get<char>); iss.imbue(new_loc); xml_iarchive iar(iss); iar >> BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(d); std::cout << d.f << std::endl; } Am I doing something wrong? Is there a problem with my Boost version or my platform? Is there a better solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated. <END OF POST> Thank you in advance for any suggestion. Christophe Fuzier

Thank you, Ben My platform is x86_64. I have any experience with Boost and c++ language at all so I'm sorry for asking questions like this. The errors like "Threading support unavaliable: it has been explicitly disabled with BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS" are not clear for me.

[boost::thread] Starting thread at specific time
by Kyle Ketterer 09 Mar '14

09 Mar '14

Hello all, I am working on an application which I originally wrote as a console app and am now transforming into a Windows service. Basically, looking for a little advice. My goal is to have an independent service which starts at a specific time and only runs for a set amount of hours. The code I am currently contemplating looks like this: ---------------------------------------------------------------- int start_hour = 18; //6pm time_t t = time(0); //current time struct tm* now = localtime ( &t ); //total time the app should run for boost::posix_time::time_duration run_duration ( 10, 0, 0, 0 ); //current time relative duration boost::posix_time::time_duration start_duration ( now->tm_hour, now->tm_min, now->tm_sec ); //get duration until service start boost::posix_time::time_duration diff = boost::posix_time::hours(start_hour) - boost::posix_time::milliseconds (start_duration.total_milliseconds() ); //dont start thread until designated start time boost::thread thr ( &ServiceWorkerThread ); //sleep this thread until ready to start boost::this_thread::sleep( boost::posix_time::milliseconds( diff.total_milliseconds() ) ); if ( thr.timed_join( run_duration ) ) { //do stuff } ------------------------------------------------------------- Basically, I am trying to make use of the time_duration class to achieve this. Based on the code above, I want to run the service for 10 hours, but not start it until the correct hour. Somewhere near the end of the service entry I will restart the service and the service *should* until the correct time and only execute for X hours. I am looking for further suggestions/improvements based on the above. Thanks!

boost::geometry::index::rtree with different CoordinateSystem
by Ola Martin Lykkja 07 Mar '14

07 Mar '14

Hi, I am trying to build a rtree index with a collection if waypoint (about 30.000) each represented by longitude and latitude. When I use Cartesian coordinates rtree.query works as expected. However the results are slightly wrong because of my use of longitude,latitude in the cartesian domain. I then tried to refine the datatypes to use spherical_equatorial and geographic CoordinateSystem. Now I encounter two problems: a) With geographic, it does not compile. b) With spherical_equatorial query(nearest) gives clearly wrong results. Do you have any clues on what I am doing wrong? Attached is two images illustrating the query results. Search target is dot with label on it. I am using boost 1.55.0 on Linux with g++ 4.4.3 (same result with 4.6.3). typedef bg::model::point<double, 2, bg::cs::cartesian> geo_point; typedef bg::model::point<double, 2, bg::cs::spherical_equatorial<bg::degree> > geo_point_with_wrong_results; typedef bg::model::point<double, 2, bg::cs::geographic<bg::degree> > geo_point_does_not_compile; typedef std::pair<geo_point, unsigned int> geo_vg_value; void test() { iterate_over_all_waypoints (wp) { geo_point pt(wp->on, wp->lat); rtree.insert(std::make_pair(pt, wp->id)); } std::vector<geo_vg_value> result; geo_point here(targetLat, targetLat); rtree.query(bgi::nearest(here, 20), std::back_inserter(result)); } Kind regards, Ola Martin

don't give template arguments to make_iterator_range
by Matei David 07 Mar '14

Hi, I recently came across an issue with make_iterator_range(), which is used to externally construct iterator_range objects. The problem is that if a template argument is explicitly specified, gcc 4.8.2 refuses to compile the code. In the meantime, clang 3.4 compiles it without warnings. This runs contrary to the intuition that specifying a template argument can only help (speed up) compilation. You might want to make a note about this in the documentation to Boost Range: "Don't give an explicit template argument to make_iterator_range! If you do, the program will be ill-formed!" The heavily simplified problem is explained here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22258054/c-inconsistency-between-gcc-and… The internal Boost Range details are the following. As described here: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/range/doc/html/range/reference/ut… make_iterator_range has 5 overloads, all of which are template functions. Consider the 1st and 4th overloads: template <typename It> iterator_range<It> make_iterator_range(It, It); template <typename R> iterator_range<typename range_iterator<R>::type> make_iterator_range(Range&, typename range_difference<R>::type, typename range_difference<R>::type); The problem occurs if I write something like: Some_Iterator it; auto r = make_iterator_range<Some_Iterator>(it, it); Specifically, when gcc encounters this call to make_iterator_range, for a reason I don't fully understand (but others do, see the reply on SO), it does not eliminate the 2nd overload listed above from consideration, and instead it tries to instantiate the bogus type range_iterator<R> with R=Some_Iterator. I say "bogus" because the template argument of range_iterator is meant to be a range, not an iterator. In turn, this triggers a compilation error. In the meantime, clang happily eliminates the 2nd overload, probably based on the fact that it needs 3 arguments, not 2 as are given in the call. The problem disappears if I don't give an explicit template argument: auto r = make_iterator_range(it, it); even though the correct overload is indeed the first one, with argument Some_Iterator. Apparently giving an explicit template argument at that point makes the program ill-formed. I don't fully understand why, but see the SO comments. M

boost::tribool "if ( someTriboolVar == indeterminate )" semantics is confusing
by Peter Hackett 06 Mar '14

06 Mar '14

I started using tribool recently. I just discovered that I was using it incorrectly. I had code that did something like: tribool triboolVar1 = indeterminate; if ( triboolVar1 == indeterminate ) { cout << "triboolVar1 is indeterminate" << endl; } else { cout << "triboolVar1 is NOT indeterminate" << endl; } I was expecting this to print "triboolVar1 is indeterminate". However it prints "triboolVar1 is NOT indeterminate". I ended up looking through "include/boost/logic/tribool.hpp" and after a bit of head scratching, I think I understand why this doesn't do what I expect: The above "if" line is "really" (pseudo-code): if ( operator==(tribool triboolVar1,tribool indeterminate) ) { where operator== returns a tribool, and (I think) tribool::operator safe_bool() const { return value == true_value? &dummy::nonnull : 0; } is used to turn the tribool into a bool. And give that operator== says: ... if (indeterminate(x) || indeterminate(y)) return indeterminate; ... Then clearly no matter what the value of triboolVar1 is, the "if" code will be false. I haven't had any schooling in what (I'm assuming) might be called something like "Multi-Level-Logic", but: Shouldn't an "indeterminate" value equal another "indeterminate" value? -- Peter Hackett Member of Technical Staff IC Manage http://icmanage.com phone (408) 358-8191 x6012

Boost Serialization Difference in Archive Versions
by Lynn Gilbert 06 Mar '14

06 Mar '14

Hope everyone is doing well. I'm having an issue with boost serialization. I have serialized a file on my ODroid U2 using Boost v1.53. I'm trying to deserialize the file on a computer which only has Boost v1.46; however, line 7 below causes the following error: CMyClass Exception thrown: unsupported version Code: 1 void CMyClass::enableDeserialize(std::string file, bool binary) { 2 filename = file ; 3 isBinary = binary ; 4 ifs = new std::ifstream(file.c_str()) ; 5 try { 6 if (isBinary) { 7 CMyClass::ib = new boost::archive::binary_iarchive(*ifs) ; 8 } else { 9 CMyClass::ia = new boost::archive::text_iarchive(*ifs) ; 10 } 11 } catch (boost::archive::archive_exception e) { 12 std::cout << "CMyClass Exception thrown: " << e.what() << std::endl ; 13 } 14 } The boost archive version for v1.53 (version I serialized with) is 10 and the boost archive version for v1.46 (the version I'm trying to deserialize with) is 9. Boost documentation hasn't helped me determine the differences between the 2 archive versions. I've only been able to find answers for how to deserialize an older archive. Please note, I don't do anything with BOOST_CLASS_VERSION. CMyClass hasn't changed at all. I can't imagine boost can handle the deserialization of a newer archive so I don't feel like I'm missing that answer. What I need to know if if there is a way I can serialize in v1.53 based on boost archive version 9 instead of 10. I'm hoping the new version of boost will still allow me to serialize at an older version. Then, I should be able to deserialize the archive just fine. Any advice you could provide is much appreciated! -- Lynn Coddington Gilbert Partner, Robotic Paradigm Systems www.roboticparadigmsystems.com www.facebook.com/RoboticParadigmSystems lynn(a)roboticparadigmsystems.com 678-428-0935
