[boost::property_tree] rapidxml get_index bug for UTF8 ?
by 乔志强 04 Mar '11

04 Mar '11

When use UTF8, non ASCII char is > 127, but char is signed, So get_index() return a big value. char c = -120; get_index(c) VC2010 say: boost::property_tree::detail::rapidxml::internal::get_index<char> returned 4294967168 unsigned int then internal::lookup_tables<0>::lookup_whitespace[internal::get_index(ch)] is error. My patch: inline size_t get_index(const Ch c) { // *** char c (ASCII / UTF8) and wchar_t c: 0 ~ 127 is ASCII char size_t r = c; //******** convert to unsigned // If not ASCII char, its sematic is same as plain 'z' // if (c > 255) //********* ASSCII is 0 to 127 if (r > 127) //******** check r, or check if(c < 0 || c > 127) { return 'z'; } return r; //******** return r } This is boost code: boost_1_46_0\boost\property_tree\detail\rapidxml.hpp template<class Ch> inline size_t get_index(const Ch c) { // If not ASCII char, its sematic is same as plain 'z' if (c > 255) { return 'z'; } return c; } // Detect whitespace character struct whitespace_pred { static unsigned char test(Ch ch) { return internal::lookup_tables<0>::lookup_whitespace[internal::get_index(ch)]; } }; // Detect node name character struct node_name_pred { static unsigned char test(Ch ch) { return internal::lookup_tables<0>::lookup_node_name[internal::get_index(ch)]; } };

[boost::property_tree] info_parser_read assert in vs2010 when use UTF8
by 乔志强 04 Mar '11

04 Mar '11

When use UTF8, non ASCII char is > 127, but char is signed, So if the value > 127, the char c is < 0, (unsigned)(c + 1) is a big value, read_info() assert in vs2010 when use UTF8 in debug build. std::isspace() call extern "C" int __cdecl _chvalidator( int c, int mask ) { _ASSERTE((unsigned)(c + 1) <= 256); return _chvalidator_l(NULL, c, mask); } My patch is us my_isspace(): template<class Ch> bool my_isspace(const Ch c) { if(c >= 0 && c <= 127) { return isspace(c); } return false; } boost_1_46_0\boost\property_tree\detail\info_parser_read.hpp // Advance pointer past whitespace template<class Ch> void skip_whitespace(const Ch *&text) { using namespace std; while (isspace(*text)) ++text; } // Extract word (whitespace delimited) and advance pointer accordingly template<class Ch> std::basic_string<Ch> read_word(const Ch *&text) { using namespace std; skip_whitespace(text); const Ch *start = text; while (!isspace(*text) && *text != Ch(';') && *text != Ch('\0')) ++text; return expand_escapes(start, text); }

I haven't found anywhere in the documentation for a method that does matrix inversion. Does such a method exist but isn't well documented? Ryan

Hmmm as you can provide every state with a specific tag, I don't see why to develop a less generic, less efficient concept which will be hard to make work for submachines.

Async_accept
by Marco Piacentini 03 Mar '11

03 Mar '11

Hi guys... Reading docs, I understand that acceptor.async_accept(), accept a connection and immediately return, so the acceptor can accept another concurrent connection request...and in the meanwhile the handler can process the request...it's right? I need to make a server that listen connection requests, and create a separate process (child) to handle each of them, so it can be still waiting a new connection. The classic MultiProcess Server. Can I do this simply using the async_accept, without create new process?or I'm missing something? Thanks...

Does any one knows a way to extend the above code > to work with submachines? Hmmm not a bad idea indeed, I need to think about it, but in the meantime I have another (and I think faster) solution. See below. <snip> > Currently i am using the following workaround: > > assert(isInState(mAvail, AvailFSM::UpstreamAvailable())); > assert(isInState(mAvail.get_state<AvailFSM::UpstreamAvailable&>(), > AvailFSM::UpstreamAvailable::Primary())); > > I consider this solution ugly not only because of its lengthiness, but > also because "get_state" isn't a const function. Unfortunately i'am not > deep enough into the template magic to tell if a const implementation of > "get_state" is possible. Can anyone help me out ? Usually, if you want to ask "isInState", you actually mean "is my fsm in such a state that a property is true?". Next, what you will want is: assert(isInState(mAvail, AvailFSM::UpstreamAvailable()) || isInState(...) && !... ); And this can pretty fast get much uglier as you need more and more conditions. To that aim, MSM offers the concept of flags, allowing you to flag a state with a certain property. You can then check if the property is true with, say: if (mAvail.is_flag_active<UpstreamOk>()) ... Please have a look at (for 1.46 but any released version of MSM can do this): http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_0/libs/msm/doc/HTML/ch03s02.html#d0e1110 Ah and it also works on submachines. > So, to sum up, i have two questions: > 1) How to implement something like "isInState" that even works on > submachines, if possible ?

[phoenix][v3] Evaluating a terminal expression in the custom actions class.
by Alexander Ospin 03 Mar '11

03 Mar '11

Is it possible to evaluate terminal and custom_terminal expressions in the some custom actions class? For instance how to implement "terminal_eval" to print something in the following code? #include <boost/phoenix/phoenix.hpp> #include <iostream> using namespace boost; struct actions { template <typename Rule, typename Dummy = void> struct when; }; template <> struct actions::when<phoenix::rule::terminal> : phoenix::call<terminal_eval> {}; int main() { int var = 11; phoenix::eval(phoenix::val(var), phoenix::context(int(), actions())); return 0; } I've tried to use the following form, but encountered some compiler errors: (GCC-4.2.1[FreeBSD], boost and phoenix were taken from SVN, latest versions) struct terminal_eval { typedef void result_type; template <typename Context, typename Expr> result_type operator ()(Context const &ctx, Expr const &expr) { std::cout << "terminal" << std::endl; } }; ../../../../boost.phoenix/boost/phoenix/core/call.hpp:32: error: invalid use of incomplete type 'struct boost::phoenix::detail::call_impl<terminal_eval, const boost::phoenix::actor<boost::proto::exprns_::expr<boost::proto::tag::terminal, boost::proto::argsns_::term<int>, 0l> >&, const int&, const actions&, 0l>' ../../../../boost.phoenix/boost/phoenix/core/call.hpp:22: error: declaration of 'struct boost::phoenix::detail::call_impl<terminal_eval, const boost::phoenix::actor<boost::proto::exprns_::expr<boost::proto::tag::terminal, boost::proto::argsns_::term<int>, 0l> >&, const int&, const actions&, 0l>' ../../../../boost/boost/proto/transform/call.hpp:315: error: no type named 'result_type' in 'struct boost::proto::switch_<boost::phoenix::meta_grammar>::impl<const boost::phoenix::actor<boost::proto::exprns_::expr<boost::proto::tag::terminal, boost::proto::argsns_::term<int>, 0l> >&, const int&, const actions&>' ../../../../boost/boost/proto/transform/call.hpp:320: error: no type named 'result_type' in 'struct boost::proto::switch_<boost::phoenix::meta_grammar>::impl<const boost::phoenix::actor<boost::proto::exprns_::expr<boost::proto::tag::terminal, boost::proto::argsns_::term<int>, 0l> >&, const int&, const actions&>' The same situation with the phoenix::ref and custom_terminal rule.

[date_time] Concurrent posix_time streaming crashes under MinGW-32
by Jim Bell 03 Mar '11

03 Mar '11

The attached program crashes under MinGW-32 (gcc-4.4), but works under VC8. It does concurrent streaming of posix_time::ptime values to a std::ostringstream. Mutexing the ostringstream from construction to destruction keeps it from crashing, but that shouldn't have to be done for independent streams. Mutexing just the ptime insertions makes it run longer, but it still crashes. I'm posting it here instead of taking it straight to Trac to see if anyone has input. Could it be related to <https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/3961> or <https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/3369>?

[preprocessor] have macro do different things based on structure of its argument
by Nathan Ridge 03 Mar '11

03 Mar '11

Hello, I would like to write a macro MY_MACRO(x) that does different things based on the structure of its input, e.g. something different for each of the following forms: MY_MACRO(x) // a single token MY_MACRO((x, y)) // a parenthesized list of two tokens MY_MACRO((x, y, z)) // a parenthesized list of three tokens MY_MACRO(x y) // two tokens MY_MACRO(x y z) // three tokens MY_MACRO(x = y) // three tokens with the second one being something specific Are any of these possible? Thanks, Nate.
