[gil] Who uses Boost.GIL?
by Mateusz Loskot 24 Oct '18

24 Oct '18

Dear Boost Users, I'm interested in collecting a list of software projects using or depending on, directly or indirectly, Boost.GIL. If you stick boost::gil anywhere in your code, please tell me about it, drop link to your project. I'd like to list users of GIL at https://github.com/boostorg/gil/wiki/Who-Uses-GIL If you ask me to not to, I'll respect your request. Thank you! Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net

[Range] Help with syntax
by Robert Jones 19 Oct '18

19 Oct '18

Given struct S { int i( ) const; }; vector<S> v; set<int> s; I want to write (approximately) for_each( v | transform( []( const S & s ){ return s.i( ); } ), s.emplace ); With the intention putting all the i's extracted from v into the set s. My syntax is all over the place, and I'm not sure how to express the s.emplace bit. Also is there a better way to say the whole thing? If I were doing push_back instead of emplace there's a facility especially for that, but I guess Boost::Range hasn't embraced emplace because range-v3 is around now. I'm sure some of you are fluent in this stuff! Kind Regards Rob.

[Boost-serialization] undefined reference error
by phillip mobley 19 Oct '18

19 Oct '18

Hello all, I ma having a major issue with the boost library. I have been having this issue for a few days now and I can't seem to figure out what the problem is. Basically, I get this error message after my linker: "undefined reference to `boost::archive::text_oarchive_impl<boost::archive::text_oarchive>::save(std::string const&)'" My complete linker command is as follows: " -L. -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib/lapack -lfreetype -lGLEW -llapack -lboost_serialization -lglut -lGL -lGLU -L/usr/local/lib -pthread -lwx_gtk2u_xrc-3.1 -lwx_gtk2u_stc-3.1 -lwx_gtk2u_richtext-3.1 -lwx_gtk2u_ribbon-3.1 -lwx_gtk2u_propgrid-3.1 -lwx_gtk2u_aui-3.1 -lwx_gtk2u_gl-3.1 -lwx_gtk2u_html-3.1 -lwx_gtk2u_qa-3.1 -lwx_gtk2u_adv-3.1 -lwx_gtk2u_core-3.1 -lwx_baseu_xml-3.1 -lwx_baseu_net-3.1 -lwx_baseu-3.1" I built Boost 1.64 from the source and kept the default values. I also built the whole library. My Boost library is built into the /usr/local folder. I am pretty sure that I am referencing the linker libraries correctly but I can't seem to figure out why I would be getting this error message. Has anyone had an issue similar to this before?

[Boost.Serialization] Unnecessary use of <iostream> in boost/serialization/export.hpp
by dariomt＠gmail.com 18 Oct '18

18 Oct '18

Hi, I see #include <iostream> in header boost/serialization/export.hpp, but that header uses nothing from namespace std. To me it looks like that #include is unnecessary, as all my code compiles fine if I remove that #include, but maybe I'm wrong. Was it included by mistake? PS: I'm using Boost 1.64, but I see the same #include in Boost 1.68

Questions about Boost multiprecision library.
by A Z 11 Oct '18

11 Oct '18

I have some basic startup for use questions pertaining to the Boost multiprecision library. I have downloaded the set of 64 bit .dll files successfully online, and would like some help points to help me get going. *I have heard that there are some strange results that can happen if you are quizzing multiprecision for trigonometry and try to keep using the double type. Is this true, so that I can just kee relying on the std library instead? -What is the name of the 64 bit windows .dll, or .dll files, that are the ones for the multiprecision library? -If I wish to go into arbitrary precision and scale numbers, what is the type I should use for an integer? What is the #include statement I should use, and how do I specify the number of whole number points and decimal points, before starting my operations? -If I wish to go into arbitrary precision and scale numbers, what is the type I should use for a rational number? What is the #include statement I should use, and how do I specify the number of whole number points and decimal points, before starting my operations? -For these two types, I wish to do sine, cosine, tangent, arcsine, arccosine, arctangent, base 10 logarithm, base e logarithm, power, nth root. I also want to obtain pi, but also Euler's constant, to any number of significang figure or decimal places that I would like. -If the files are separate for the function support or not, what are the 64 bit .dll files for this? What #include statements should I use?

Hi, A friend pointed me at this library, as it may solve a problem for me. Am I correct in thinking that a signal can be activated once all of its slots are filled and not before? Best wishes. Tim Burgess Raised Bar Ltd. E: <mailto:tim@raisedbar.net> tim(a)raisedbar.net M: +44 (0)7989 486976

Twenty years and time to retire
by Beman Dawes 04 Oct '18

04 Oct '18

The idea behind Boost was hatched in March, 1998, and the proposal document <https://www.boost.org/users/proposal.pdf> was released May 6, 1998. That makes Boost twenty years old, and makes me twenty years older. It is high time I retire from Boost; I haven't been able to contribute for some time now. Thanks to all of you who made Boost such an overwhelming success in the past and will drive Boost forward into a bright future! --Beman

Making interprocess::message_queue use Windows_shared_memory instead of shared_memory_object
by Gaurav Sehgal 04 Oct '18

04 Oct '18

Hi, I am trying to make boost::interprocess::message_queue to use windows_shared_memory, instead of shared_memory_object. I have made the below changes to boost version 1.65.1 1) In ipc\message_queue.hpp, included windows_shared_memory.hpp instead of shared_memory_object.hpp 2) Changed typedef ipcdetail::managed_open_or_create_impl<shared_memory_object, 0, true, false> open_create_impl_t; to typedef ipcdetail::managed_open_or_create_impl<windows_shared_memory, 0, false, false> open_create_impl_t; 3) Changed the below in mq_hdr_t:: typedef ipcdetail::managed_open_or_create_impl<shared_memory_object, 0, true, false> open_create_impl_t; to typedef ipcdetail::managed_open_or_create_impl<windows_shared_memory, 0, false, false> open_create_impl_t; 4) Changed inline bool message_queue_t<VoidPointer>::remove(const char *name) { return shared_memory_object::remove(name); } to inline bool message_queue_t<VoidPointer>::remove(const char *name) { return true; } 5)Changed the below in detail\managed_open_or_create_impl.hpp template<bool dummy> static void truncate_device(DeviceAbstraction &dev, offset_t size, true_) { dev.truncate(size); } to template<bool dummy> static void truncate_device(DeviceAbstraction &dev, offset_t size, true_) { } After the above changes, no file is getting created and everything seems to work. Is there something else i should care about? Regards, Gaurav.

undefined reference to `boost::log::v2_mt_posix::...
by Antonis Polykratis 01 Oct '18

01 Oct '18

Hello I face this error and I cannot figure out a fix. I use bjam to build the application code, and inside site-config file, I have also the following a section where I define BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK: ''' using gcc : : : where I have defined <define> BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK ''' I have build boost libraries with the following command: sudo bjam toolset=gcc --with-system --with-thread --with-timer --with-chrono --with-filesystem --with-program_options --with-timer *--with-log* --with-program_options --with-date_time --with-math --with-serialization --with-regex --with-chrono --with-atomic runtime-link=shared define=*BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK* --prefix=/opt/boost_shared install | tee output.txt I also changed some files (macro definitions and jam files) because I had an error that system and filesystem are configured to be compiled both as static and shared. I compiled them as shared. When I build the application code, I have plenty of `boost::log::v2_mt_posix::...` error messages. Could you give me some guide why this problem exist? Thanks, Antonis
