Boost.Serialization type-dependent serialization
by Roman Suvorov 05 Dec '12

05 Dec '12

Hi! I have a list of objects of the following structure: > class Obj > { > // a number simple fields > int field1() const; > > // ... > > // reference to an object containing large amount of data > const blob_type & mega_blob() const; > }; The list is to be serialized in the following way: 1) simple fields of each object are to be serialized into a single xml file; 2) mega_blobs' are to be serialized into separate binary files. The idea of doing it is to write custom archive that has operator<< specialized for blob_type which does the magic. Following the Boost.Serialization reference (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_52_0/libs/serialization/doc/archive_referen…) I wrote the code in order to proof the concept: http://pastebin.com/ekbXXvxF My test project is built using CMake and G++-4.6.3 (Debian Wheezy) (that seems to be ok - other code that uses Boost.Serialization compiles well): http://pastebin.com/WVRUKLD2 As a result I get the following linker errors: http://pastebin.com/rM05nkqw The questions: 1) am I using xml_oarchive_impl wrong way or that problem is not boost-related? 2) maybe there are more elegant ways of solving my task? Cheers, Suvorov Roman.

[Filesystem] Movable fstreams
by Szymon Gatner 04 Dec '12

04 Dec '12

Hi, Could move (via boost.move) support be added to file streams provided by filesystem library? Would be very useful when returning for example ifstream from function. Cheers, Simon -- Szymon Gatner The Lordz Games Studio www.thelordzgamesstudio.com

Boost.Math - Statistical Distribution Explorer - updated to Boost 1.52
by Paul A. Bristow 04 Dec '12

04 Dec '12

Just to note that I have recently updated the Microsoft Windows C# 'app' that allows one to explore various properties of statistical distributions and calculate their Cumulative Distribution Function CDF, Probability Distribution Function PDF, or quantiles/percentiles. This revision includes some new distributions and all the bug fixes and improvements in Boost.Math for 1.52. I have also now aligned the application version numbering with Boost release numbering. For full information and download http://sourceforge.net/projects/distexplorer/ It works on all the 'this-millennium' versions of Windows. If anyone knows how to produce a *nix version, please contact me. Paul --- Paul A. Bristow, Prizet Farmhouse, Kendal LA8 8AB UK +44 1539 561830 07714330204 pbristow(a)hetp.u-net.com

Spirit guidance needed
by Arkadiy and Marina Vertleyb 04 Dec '12

04 Dec '12

Hi all, Can somebody direct me to a part/facility inside the Spirit library to do the following: I need to pre-parce a boolean expression (once) and save it somewhere. Then I need to evaluate this expression (many times, performance important) based on different values of tokens. Will Spirit.Classic do? Or do I need to use any of the newer libraries inside Spirit? Thanks for any help. Arkadiy

[boost][polygon]Errors with minkowski sum
by renaud lepere 04 Dec '12

04 Dec '12

I need to implement robust minkowski sum operations on polygons. I have seen that this could be implemented easily using boost::polygon, the tutorial is here http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_52_0/libs/polygon/doc/gtl_minkowski_tutoria… The example works fine, however i need more precision than "int" (32 bits on my plateform win32-msvc10-32bits). I tried to replace to replace int -> double typedef boost::polygon::point_data< int > point; with typedef boost::polygon::point_data< double > point; But this leads to strange errors deep into the code (operator< is "bad") if (!_Pred(_Left, _Right)) return (false); else if (_Pred(_Right, _Left)) _DEBUG_ERROR2("invalid operator<", _File, _Line); called after scan_data_.insert(*insert_itr); // line 1197 in scan_arbitrary.hpp What can i do to avoid it, if i use "long long" type it works but it sends a lot of warning at compile time. Any idea of what i should do ? Is "double" type supported ?

Asio and software interrupts
by Joseph Sulewski 04 Dec '12

04 Dec '12

Hello, I’m use the Boost::Asio libraries to read data from multicast sockets. This is a high rate application that needs to listen to data coming on a large number of multicast addresses (up to 500 different addresses). I would like to funnel all the multicast traffic to a single class where the data can get handled very quickly. I have the code working now using the socket->async_receive_from() method but the system is getting bogged down handling a large number of software interrupts. 51% of the CPU time is spent handling software interrupts. I create each multicast socket (up to 500 of them) like so: socket = new udp::socket(io_service); socket->open(listenEndPoint.protocol()); socket->set_option(boost::asio::ip::udp::socket::resuse_address(true)); socket->bind(listenEndPoint); socket->set_option(boost::asio::ip::multicast::join_group(multicastAddress.to_v4())); Slightly after that I register for data like so: socket->async_receive_from(buffer,senderEndPoint,boost::bind(&EthernetCapture::receiveData,this,boost::asio::placeholders::bytes_transferred)); Is there a more efficient way to receive multicast data without incurring so many software interrupts? By the way this is for an application to run on 32 bit Linux for an embedded application. Thanks

[serialization] versioning for class nested within template class

Hi Guys, Let's say that we have 2 states, S1 and S2. with this transition table: S1 -> S2 on event Es2 S2 -> S1 on event Es1 also let's say that S1 can also accept Ev1 and Ev2 but S2 cannot accept them so it differs them. Now when let's say that S2 receives 2 events Ev1 and Ev2 and differs them. Now, when S2 goes back to S1 would S1 handle both events in order? or how does it work? Thanks,
