Hi, how can I get the path where b2 placed the binaries of boost tests? Problem is the following: some of the tests need the path to a shared library, which is built together with the tests. in the lib/mylib/tests/Jamfile.v2 I have the following: [...] # our test lib for shared library tests lib test_library : test_library.cpp ; test-suite mylib : # # shared library # [ run shared_library_load_test.cpp ] [ run shared_library_get_symbol_test.cpp ] # # [...] Inside shared_library_*_test.cpp I need something like this: boost::filesystem::path tstlib("bin.v2/libs/mylib/test/mycompiler/test_library.so"); As boost.build decides by itself where to put the binary, i cannot hardcode the path in the source-files.. Is there a way to get the path from boost.build? If not, how could I solve this problem? -- regards dib

Unit Tests and function calling
by Charles Yates 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

Hi, Just wanted a second opinion on how best to handle calling functions which invoke BOOST_REQUIRE and BOOST_CHECK type logic. For example, if I have a test like: void stuff( ... ) { BOOST_REQUIRE( ... ); BOOST_CHECK( ... ); } BOOST_AUTO_TEST( check_stuff ) { stuff( case1 ); stuff( case2 ); stuff( case3 ); } in the CLF log case at least, I only see which lines in stuff failed, but not which which case. I can change things so that we have: bool stuff( ... ) { bool result = true; if ( ( result = require-predicate ) == true ) result = check-predicate; return result; } BOOST_AUTO_TEST( check_stuff ) { BOOST_CHECK( stuff( case1 ) ); BOOST_CHECK( stuff( case2 ) ); BOOST_CHECK( stuff( case3 ) ); } but then I lose the info in the logs over which predicates are failing and it's generally a bit nasty :). As a result, I've been playing with this which seems to encapsulate things pretty well for me (though may introduce more parenthesis than is strictly necessary and may introduce shadowed variables and other issues?): #define BOOL_CHECK( result, pred ) { bool pred_result; BOOST_CHECK( pred_result = ( pred ) ); result = pred_result && result; } #define BOOL_REQUIRE( pred ) { bool pred_result; BOOST_CHECK( pred_result = ( pred ) ); if ( !pred_result ) return pred_result; } #define BOOL_REQUIRE_EQUAL( name, value ) { bool pred_result; BOOST_CHECK( pred_result = ( ( name ) == ( value ) ) ); if ( !pred_result ) return pred_result; } void stuff( ... ) { bool result = true; BOOL_REQUIRE( ... ); BOOL_CHECK( result, ... ); return result; } BOOST_AUTO_TEST( check_stuff ) { BOOST_CHECK( stuff( case1 ) ); BOOST_CHECK( stuff( case2 ) ); BOOST_CHECK( stuff( case3 ) ); } when one of the predicates fails, I get 2 errors in the log - the first being the specific line in 'stuff' and the second being failing case. I've only tested it with g++ and don't know if it's a sensible approach - wondered if any of you guys had any suggestions? Cheers, Charlie

[BGL] isomorphism: how to define vertex invariant
by Pablo Madoery 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

Hi, I have two graphs and I want to know if they are isomorphic. I adjunct the graphs in .png. I read the documentation but i can't figure out how i must define the vertex invariant correctly. what I want is to consider that two graph are not isomorphic taking count of the vertices ids (the unsigned int value that they have). In the example i give I want the function isomorphism to return false. actually it return true. Thank you ! //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Graph graph1; Graph::vertex_descriptor aA = add_vertex(graph1); Graph::vertex_descriptor bA = add_vertex(graph1); Graph::vertex_descriptor cA = add_vertex(graph1); Graph::edge_descriptor edA1 = (add_edge(aA, bA, graph1)).first; Graph::edge_descriptor edA2 = (add_edge(bA, cA, graph1)).first; graph1[edA1].weight = 1; graph1[edA2].weight = 2; //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Graph graph2; Graph::vertex_descriptor aB = add_vertex(graph2); Graph::vertex_descriptor bB = add_vertex(graph2); Graph::vertex_descriptor cB = add_vertex(graph2); Graph::edge_descriptor edB1 = (add_edge(bB, aB, graph2)).first; Graph::edge_descriptor edB2 = (add_edge(aB, cB, graph2)).first; graph2[edB1].weight = 1; graph2[edB2].weight = 2; /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// bool isIso = boost::isomorphism(graph1, graph2);

Fatal runtime error when using Boost in a native static library referenced by a mixed dll
by Dario Ramos 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

I refactored a native C++ static library to use boost::thread and boost::asio instead of the Windows API. This static library is referenced by a C++/CLI dll built with the /clr switch; it acts as a wrapper for the managed upper layers to use. I use Boost inside native C++ dlls referenced by C++/CLI dlls and that works fine, but this particular scenario is a first. I suspect that Boost and C++/CLI don't play nice together, since I had to be careful to use the PIMPL idiom to avoid boost headers from being indirectly included in C++/CLI code. But now that I have to forcibly link a Boost lib with my C++/CLI dll, things have gone awry. Is this a supported usage for Boost? My environment: Boost 1.53.0, Visual Studio Professional 2012 Version 11.0.61030.00 Update 4, Windows 7 x64. The error is an EEFileLoadException in KernelBase.dll. It happens right after my C++/CLI dll is loaded into memory. Here's the callstack: > KernelBase.dll!_RaiseException@16() + 0x58 bytes msvcr110_clr0400.dll!__CxxThrowException@8() + 0x3e bytes clrjit.dll!Compiler::impResolveToken() + 0x3a bytes clrjit.dll!Compiler::impImportBlockCode() + 0x10d5 bytes clrjit.dll!Compiler::impImportBlock() + 0x55 bytes clrjit.dll!Compiler::impImport() + 0x167 bytes clrjit.dll!Compiler::compCompile() + 0x47 bytes clrjit.dll!Compiler::compCompileHelper() + 0x1f0 bytes clrjit.dll!Compiler::compCompile() + 0x104 bytes clrjit.dll!jitNativeCode() - 0x11eb bytes clrjit.dll!CILJit::compileMethod() + 0x25 bytes [External Code] mscoreei.dll!__CorExeMain@0() + 0x71 bytes mscoree.dll!_ShellShim__CorExeMain@0() + 0x227 bytes mscoree.dll!__CorExeMain_Exported@0() + 0x8 bytes ntdll.dll!___RtlUserThreadStart@8() + 0x27 bytes ntdll.dll!__RtlUserThreadStart@8() + 0x1b bytes -- *Darío Eduardo Ramos* Meditech S.A. www.meditech.com.ar (+54) 01147603300, Interno 31 Av.

[config] Macro to detect no implicitly movable?
by TONGARI J 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

Hi, Some compilers support r-value reference while not providing implicitly-defined move ctor/assign (e.g. VC10), is there a way to detect this defect? Macro like BOOST_NO_IMPLICITLY_MOVABLE would be helpful. Is "defined(BOOST_NO_CXX11_RVALUE_REFERENCES) || defined(BOOST_NO_CXX11_DELETED_FUNCTIONS)" good enough? Thanks,

finite state filters controlled ...
by raespi 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

Boost hi .. I'm using the finite state filter component in the iostreams library to create a state machine that can easily help me process incoming data streams from various medical sensors. I'm currently working around the following scenarios and wanted to run them by the list to see if the method I chose was the preferred one. 1- Constant datastream with no variation in datagrams. Solution: use finite state filters as they come, works ok ! 2- Variable datastreams with constant size in datagrams. Solution: use finite state filters with a transition table that can interpret anything and choosing in the processing function the right way to go, not very clean, but works !! 3- Variable datastreams with variable sizes. Solution: trying to change the finite state filter on the go, currently doesn't work. I noticed that when bytes are inserted into the state machine these don't get processed until a certain buffer size is met internally, resulting in a behaviour where data gets analyzed long after it has been inserted. I saw that the flush() function for the iostream that contains de state machine suffices when called before inserting a new character with a line such as: io::flush<io::filtering_ostream> ( this->data ); but the problem is that the only mechanism that can determine when a whole package has been received and one can change state machines to analyze a new state lies within the state machine itself (in the processing functions), I can't issue a flush() from within a state machine since it won't execute until a specific buffer size is met. Any ideas on how to go around this matter ?? I'm currently using boost 1.53 on Linux Thanks ...

[lexical_cast] Why isn't boost::lexical_cast bijective?
by Egor Tensin 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

Why this works: boost::lexical_cast<std::string>((void *) 42UL) and this throws: boost::lexical_cast<void*>(boost::lexical_cast<std::string>((void*) 42UL)) while converting void* to std::string and vice versa works perfectly using std:: streams?

Hi all, I would like to use boost::log within a Qt based application. For now, I simply want to redirect the output of BOOST_LOG_TRIVIAL(xxx) macro to a QTextEdit. What is the easiest way to do that? Is there a way to get the logger output string? Best regards
