Linux TCP session stays ESTABLISHED when interface is removed
by Chris Verges 26 Sep '13

26 Sep '13

Hi all, I'm experiencing an odd phenomenon when using Boost ASIO 1.46.1. (I know it's older, but this was inherited.) Under normal operation, everything is fine. I can create a TCP server socket, listen, and accept as expected. If I disconnect the TCP client gracefully, everything resets as expected. However, if I physically remove the network interface -- such as yanking the USB adapter out of its socket -- the TCP session stills reports as ESTABLISHED via netstat and the application receives no read error. I'm at a bit of a loss how this is possible when the underlying OS shows that the interface no longer exists yet the socket is blocking away happily. Has anyone else experienced similar symptoms? Any advice? Thanks in advance, Chris

ASIO UDP Communication stops working when entering a thread
by Ulf Samuelsson 25 Sep '13

25 Sep '13

Have created a class to allow UDP communication using ASIO // Header class UdpClient { public: UdpClient(); void Open(string ipaddr, string port); void Send(string packet); void Close(); private: bool init; string ipAddress; string Port; udp::endpoint Endpoint; udp::socket *pSocket; udp::socket *s; }; // Part of code void UdpClient::Open(string ipaddr, string port) { ipAddress = ipaddr; Port = port; boost::asio::io_service io_service; udp::resolver resolver(io_service); udp::resolver::query query(udp::v4(), ipaddr,port); Endpoint = *resolver.resolve(query); pSocket = new udp::socket(io_service); pSocket->open(udp::v4()); pSocket->send_to(boost::asio::buffer(first.c_str(), first.size()), Endpoint); std::cout << "Opening port [" + Port + "] on " + ipAddress + "\n"; init = true; } void UdpClient::Send(string packet) { if (init) { pSocket->send_to(boost::asio::buffer(packet.c_str(), packet.size()), Endpoint); } } --------------- Another class implements more advanced communication. // Extracts extern UdpClient endpoint; void UdpDebug::WriteLine(string line) { line = "[" + Clock.Now() + "]" + line; endpoint.Send(line); }; ------------------------ In my main program i declare two global variables. UdpDebug DebugPort; UdpClient endpoint; The I init the UDP communication by calling endpoint.Open(IPAddress, UDPPort); after that I can write to the UDP enpoint by: DebugPort.WriteLine("Debug working!"); Have declared a thread: boost::thread t1(Initialize); void Initialize() { DebugPort.WriteLine("Debug working in the thread"); for (int i = 0; i < MAX; ++i) { wait(1); std::cout << "Thread 1: " << i << std::endl; } } When I do t1.join(); The thread starts printing out "Thread1: <number>" on the terminal but no UDP output is received on the other end. Any clues why this won't work? Are starting two threads, but only one of them is attempting UDP communication. If I put a wait statement inside the main program, and attempt UDP communication after the threads have executed a few seconds, this will still work. Also tried creating a new instance of UdpClient inside the thread. Opened it, and tried to send data, to no avail. Any clues? BR Ulf Samuelsson

BGL (Boost Graph Library) MaxWeightedMatching algorithm
by Pablo Madoery 25 Sep '13

25 Sep '13

Hello, i want to use an algorithm called MaxWeightedMatching : Edmond's blossom shrinking algorithm for calculating maximum weighted matching in general graphs. I note that there is an algorithm in BGL called 1. edmonds_maximum_cardinality_matching<http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/libs/graph/doc/maximum_matching.html> but this is not what I want. I need to take in count the weights. I would like to know if this algorithm can be taken in count in the next version of Boost or if you can tell me some advices to implement it using BGL. The MaxWeightedMatching algorithm is already implemented in LEMON library: http://www.loco.ic.unicamp.br/~msambinelli/lemon_doc/a00537.html. Thanks for your time.

Also, as far as I can tell, `vcxxx` is the compiler tag boost uses to tell what version of the compiler built the boost library...so it's almost like `scons` thinks boost was built using Visual Studio 2012, which would be `vc110`...I'm not sure. Any help is appreciated! Cheers Jarrett

How to correctly run Boost.Python?
by Wenlong Wang 25 Sep '13

25 Sep '13

Hi, All This is my first message at this mailing list, apologies first if I raised some simple question. I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Express Version, and Python 2.7. My boost version is 1.54.0. I followed the Boost Library instruction at http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#i nstall-boost-build And successfully build Boost in my computer with a message "The Boost C++ Libraries were successfully built!" My Boost path is "C:\local\boost_1_54_0" Then I want to run Boost.Python, and find it requires to be built separately. So, I found Boost.Python Library instructions at http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/libs/python/doc/building.html#basic -procedure In step 3.1 Basic Procedure, the Boost.Python Library instructions lead me back to Boost Library instruction section 5, at where I installed the Boost.Build at "C:\local\boost_1_54_0\BoostBuild". And "C:\local\boost_1_54_0\BoostBuild\bin" has been added to my Path environment variable. So now I am back to the Boost.Python Library instructions at section 3.1.3. I followed the instruction and cd into the "C:\local\boost_1_54_0\libs\python\example\quickstart". The next step, according to the instruction is : Invoke bjam. Replace the "stage" argument from the example invocation from section 5 of the Getting Started Guide <http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/more/getting_started/index.html> with "test," to build all the test targets. Also add the argument "--verbose-test" to see the output generated by the tests when they are run. On Windows, your bjam invocation might look something like: C:\boost_1_34_0\...\quickstart> bjam toolset=msvc --verbose-test test Then I got 135 unresolved external errors. One of them is as follows: exec.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__PyEval_GetGlobals referenced in function "class boost::python::api::object __cdecl boost::python::eval(class boost::python::str,class boost::python::api::object,class boost::python::api::object)" (?eval@python@boost@@YA?AVobject@api@12@Vstr@12@V3412@1@Z) ..\..\..\..\bin.v2\libs\python\build\msvc-11.0\debug\boost_python-vc110- gd-1_54.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 135 unresolved externals May I know what am I wrong? How can I fix this? Thank you very much. Regards Long Wenlong Wang Risk Analyst, Capquest Group Ltd Email: wwang(a)capquest.co.uk Fleet 27, Rye Close, Fleet, GU51 2QQ.

[BGL] memory leak in graph/r_c_shortest_paths.hpp
by potato_research 24 Sep '13

24 Sep '13

Hello, I'm using BGL in my project and, with some input data, I get - sooner or later, as I run r_c_shortest_paths many times - a segfault. This behaviour is apparently quite random, as I can see by implementing a custom visitor that the last label evaluated before the crash changes all the time. I must also say that the graph I use, while always having the same topological structure, has different properties that affect labelling each time I run the algorithm and these vary quite randomly from one run to the other, as they are generated by a random heuristics. Anyway, with one particular set of input data, I manage to have the program segfault (as I said, sooner or later) 100% of the times. This is far from being an MWE, but it's the best I could produce. I tried to debug the memory leak with valgrind and it turns out that r_c_shortest_paths_dispatch is trying to access memory in a block previously freed by: l_alloc.deallocate( cur_outer_splabel.get(), 1 ); in r_c_shortest_paths.hpp:314. After some debugging I started to believe that the problem doesn't rely with my code, but it might be a bug in r_c_shortest_paths.hpp. If this is actually the case and where the problem lies, though, I haven't been able to figure out with certainty. The output from valgrind can be found here: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=WWafwFv3 (output cleaned up and with templates substituted) http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=cb3p6jzM (raw output intended to facilitate reading and with templates substituted) http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=qeauBQTm (raw output indented to facilitate reading) http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=hpppf49c (raw output) My code (the whole project) can be found here: https://github.com/alberto-santini/maritime-vrp In order to run it, one must have a licensed copy of CPLEX and change the include and library paths in the Makefile's accordingly. Unfortunately, without putting the labelling part inside a price-and-branch procedure (that uses CPLEX as a solver for the master problem) I wasn't able to produce input data by hand that would lead me to obtain the segfault. I understand this is not the best way to investigate into a bug and will be happy to provide any further help if requested to.

Re: [Boost-users] [boost] cross-compilation x86_64-w64-ming32: undefined reference to `InterlockedIncrement'
by Frédéric Bron 23 Sep '13

23 Sep '13

> I probably missed the original problem, but the patch doesn't look correct > to me. The section guarded with "defined( BOOST_MSVC ) || defined( > BOOST_INTEL_WIN )" is obviously targeted for compilers supporting > interlocked intrinsics, which gcc isn't. MinGW should probably be handled > by the last section of the #if/elif/endif sequence. Anyway, what problem > are you trying to fix? Here is what I get when build an application with boost and mingw-w64 targeting x86_64: /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys- root/mingw/lib/../lib/libboost_thread-mt.a(thread.o):(.text+0x286): undefined reference to `InterlockedIncrement' /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/../lib/libboost_thread-mt.a(thread.o):(.text+0x3e7): undefined reference to `InterlockedDecrement' /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/4.8.1/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld: /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/../lib/libboost_thread-mt.a(thread.o): bad reloc address 0x8 in section `.data' I have been able to solve this by defining BOOST_USE_WINDOWS_H but this creates issues with Unicode when I also use wxWidgets. The patch proposed solves the issue. I recognise that I say that gcc should be considered as MSVC with regards to these Interlocked things which I do not understand. It may seem strange but it works. What's wrong with it? Basically, I just #include <intrin.h>; what's wrong with that? Frédéric
