Using coroutines in ASIO
by Pedro Pinto 26 Apr '20

26 Apr '20

Hi there, I am trying to compile the asio co-routine example but as far as I can tell boost is looking for an <experimental/coroutine> header that does not exist on my system. I am using boost 1.71 and gcc on ubuntu 20.04. I tried both stock gcc (v9 on ubuntu) which does not have a coroutine header and gcc 10 which does have it but not under the experimental directory. Here is the output with gcc 10: /usr/lib/ccache/g++ -I../../src -g -Wall -pedantic -Wextra -Werror -DASIO_HAS_CO_AWAIT -DBOOST_ASIO_HAS_CO_AWAIT -fcoroutines --std=c++2a -fdiagnostics-color -MD -MT CMakeFiles/mcbridge.dir /src/main.cpp.o -MF CMakeFiles/mcbridge.dir/src/main.cpp.o.d -o CMakeFiles/mcbridge.dir/src/main.cpp.o -c ../../src/main.cpp In file included from /usr/include/boost/asio/co_spawn.hpp:22, from ../../src/main.cpp:4: /usr/include/boost/asio/awaitable.hpp:22:10: fatal error: experimental/coroutine: No such file or directory 22 | #include <experimental/coroutine> Any ideas on how to compile this example?

10 slots for the Google Summer of Code 2020
by David Bellot 23 Apr '20

23 Apr '20

Hi Boost community, this year Google allocated 10 slots for the Google Summer of Code. It's again a great achievement thanks to the hard work of our team of dedicated mentors. We are now selecting the best students among all the proposals we receive. We received 79 proposals this year. 10 of them will be selected. This year, a lot of proposals if not all are targeting a finalization of the work which has been done in the previous GSoCs and we should see a lot of code being pushed in production. It's a very exciting time for all of us. The mentors are now hard at work to choose the students. We'll keep you informed when it's official. Best regards, David

[Boost] [test] strange behaviour when comparing floating point numbers
by Matthijs Möhlmann 21 Apr '20

21 Apr '20

Hi, I am trying to compare two floating point numbers but am encountering somewhat strange behaviour. The minimal compilable example: #define BOOST_TEST_MODULE tests #define BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE(testsuite) BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(test1) { namespace tt = boost::test_tools; BOOST_TEST(0.1 == 0.2, tt::tolerance(0.01)); // will fail BOOST_TEST(0.1f == 0.2f, tt::tolerance(0.02)); // will fail too, but different error message... } BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END() When compiling with: clang++ (clang version 7.0.1-8 (tags/RELEASE_701/final)) flags: -o main -g -std=c++17 -stdlib=libc++ -lboost_unit_test_framework main.cpp boost: 1.72.0 I'll get the following output: Running 1 test case... main.cpp(10): error: in "testsuite/test1": check 0.1 == 0.2 has failed [0.10000000000000001 != 0.20000000000000001]. Relative difference exceeds tolerance [1 > 0.01] main.cpp(11): error: in "testsuite/test1": check 0.1f == 0.2f has failed [0.100000001 != 0.200000003] *** 2 failures are detected in the test module "tests" Why am I getting two different messages? I expected those to be the same... Regards, Matthijs

[program_options] cmake discovery issue
by Jeanette C. 21 Apr '20

21 Apr '20

Hello, I can't say when these errors first appeared, certainly not in Boost 1.63 . I have a project working with cmake and the following cmmake lines: set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED ON) find_package(Boost 1.58 REQUIRED COMPONENTS program_options filesystem date_time system) if (Boost_PROGRAM_OPTIONS_FOUND) set (INCS ${INCS} ${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS}) set (LIBS ${LIBS} ${Boost_PROGRAM_OPTIONS_LIBRARY} ${Boost_SYSTEM_LIBRARY}) endif (Boost_PROGRAM_OPTIONS_FOUND) Which says that it found the libraries and lower down produces this error: CMake Error in CMakeLists.txt: Imported target "Boost::program_options" includes non-existent path "/include" in its INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES. Possible reasons include: * The path was deleted, renamed, or moved to another location. * An install or uninstall procedure did not complete successfully. * The installation package was faulty and references files it does not provide. This error appears twice in the output. My cmake skills are too meagre to trace it to a particular point in the Boost Cmake modules. Could someone please help? Is it perhaps my fault for not updating a call somewhere? Best wishes and TIA, Jeanette -- * Website: http://juliencoder.de - for summer is a state of sound * Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMS4rfGrTwz8W7jhC1Jnv7g * SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/jeanette_c * Twitter: https://twitter.com/jeanette_c_s * Audiobombs: https://www.audiobombs.com/users/jeanette_c * GitHub: https://github.com/jeanette-c There's no time to loose And next week, You might not see me here <3 (Britney Spears)

Continuous Deployment of Boost.Beast-based server
by Dominique Devienne 21 Apr '20

21 Apr '20

Imagine I have a WebSocket server, implemented using Boost.Asio and Boost.Beast. It's deployed and serving clients in production or test environments, but I fixed a bug, checked in a fix, passed CI, and would like to redeploy, but w/o downtime for existing clients. New clients should use the same address, but be served by the newly deployed fixed server. While on-ongoing WebSocket connections keep on using the old server. Is that possible? In-process? Or one must use some kind of "front-end server" redirecting new traffic (i.e. new WebSocket session and/or HTTP requests) to separate processes? (nginx? little GoLang exe? In C++ Boost.Asio based? else?) If not possible in-process, then how to know when older server is no longer in use, to gracefully stop it? Asio servers typically run forever, i.e. never run out of work, even when they temporarily have nothing to do, by design. The goal is to do this on "premise" (i.e. not in the cloud), on a single machine (no containers), and cross-platform (Windows and Linux). Thanks, --DD

Building boost 1.72 with arm 64 bit gcc compiler

Hi, I am trying to build boost 1.72 with arm 64 bit compiler.

[random_device] App crash on boost::ramdom::random_device
by 박형근(HYUNGGUN PARK) 17 Apr '20

17 Apr '20

Hi there! My app crash on customer's site. It crashes everytime the app is starting. It happens on Chinese Windows7 (64bit) OS but it runs well on my PC with Korean Windows7 OS and English Windows7 OS. My app is built on VisualStudio 2010 (x86 build, C++) using websocketpp library and boost 1.55. The call-stack from the dump file shows my app(TMSClient100) called websocketpp::endpoint, then it called boost::random::random_device then ThrowException. Here's the call-stack info: 14 001cf6ac 7113872d e06d7363 00000001 00000003 KERNELBASE!RaiseException+0x58 15 001cf6e4 713b7c5a 001cf704 713d9350 b621b77b msvcr100!_CxxThrowException+0x48 [f:\dd\vctools\crt_bld\self_x86\crt\prebuild\eh\throw.cpp @ 157] 16 001cf814 713b7da3 001cf840 b621b9a7 002a19bc TMSClient100!boost::random::random_device::impl::error+0x15a 17 001cf8b8 713b7f7b 001cf8dc b621b94b 00000000 TMSClient100!boost::random::random_device::impl::impl+0x143 18 001cf904 71383901 b621b8ab 001cfac4 002a17e8 TMSClient100!boost::random::random_device::random_device+0x8b 19 001cf928 7137eb2c 002a17e8 b621b8ef 001cfac4 TMSClient100!websocketpp::endpoint<websocketpp::connection<websocketpp::config::asio_client>,websocketpp::config::asio_client>::endpoint<websocketpp::connection<websocketpp::config::asio_client>,websocketpp::config::asio_client>+0x191 [d:\dev\tms\trunk\library\library_c++_3\websocketpp\websocketpp\endpoint.hpp @ 101] 1a 001cf96c 713598c2 002a1790 b621b83b 001cfa08 TMSClient100!TMS::CWebSocketClient::CWebSocketClient+0x9c [d:\dev\tms\trunk\library\library_c++_3\tmsclient100\websocketclient.cpp @ 15] 1b 001cf9b8 010316cd b620327e 00388fa8 0103c908 TMSClient100!TMS::CTMSClient::CTMSClient+0xf2 [d:\dev\tms\trunk\library\library_c++_3\src\tmsclient.cpp @ 25] Any suggestion how to debug this problem will be greatly appreciated.
