Query on the Boost Library Support
by Alapkumar Sinha 02 Jul '10

02 Jul '10

Hi, I am analyzing the different IPC mechanism of Boost. Can someone help me with the following queries? 1. Is there something available in boost similar to windows "events". I mean where one thread can wait on one event and another thread signals the event. I was going through Boost.signals2, but it seems more of a function call back. 2. Is there support for FIFO, PIPE & POSIX signals Thanks, Alap ________________________________ This Email may contain confidential or privileged information for the intended recipient (s) If you are not the intended recipient, please do not use or disseminate the information, notify the sender and delete it from your system. ______________________________________________________________________

spirit mini_c example 1 broken
by Dirk Griffioen 02 Jul '10

02 Jul '10

Hi, (Sorry if this is the wrong list) The mini_c example 1 in Boost.Spirit v2.3 seems to be broken: all I get is a Error! Expecting <statement-list> here: " int a = 2; And with some debugging added it says: <statement-list> <try>\n int a = 2;\n </try> <statement> <try>\n int a = 2;\n </try> <variable-declaration> <try>\n int a = 2;\n </try> <fail/> </variable-declaration> <assignment> <try>\n int a = 2;\n </try> <variable-reference> <try>\n int a = 2;\n </try> <fail/> </variable-reference> <fail/> </assignment> <fail/> </statement> <fail/> </statement-list> Error! Expecting <statement-list> here: " int a = 2; I am a bit confused now, as it is straight from the examples ... and my guess is it should work. Any hints? Best, Dirk

Hi, I just noticed that the svn commit mailing list seems to have some problems. The last commit notification I got was from revision 63466. The current revision is 63522. Can someone confirm?

[intro] Preview: Introspection library
by Stefan Strasser 02 Jul '10

02 Jul '10

Hi, I'd be interested in comments on an introspection library I've been developing. there has been no "Is there any interest..."-e-mail yet, as it was started out of necessity in "namespace detail" of another library, so you're also welcome to express interest/disinterest in a library like this, without any specific comments. source code: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/browser/sandbox/intro/boost/intro/ the library defines a concept that exposes the members of a class, for introspection algorithms to work with. e.g. the "print" algorithm applied to a simple object implementing the concept yields the following results: intro::print(a,std::cout); ---- { A_base = { int member_of_base = 789; }; int a = 123; float b = 456.7; vector<int,class std::allocator<int> > vec = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}; } --- other algorithms that are currently implemented: - apply_members[_binary]: apply a user-supplied functor to each member - apply_recursive: follow pointers, references, STL container elements, etc. - serialize: serialization of an object tree of 1M objects: 80 ms. Boost.Serialization: 330 ms. serialization of an object graph of 1M objects: 410 ms. Boost.Serialization: 2700 ms. - move: move-construct an object - reset_shared planned or not yet in the sandbox are deserialize, print_recursive, copy_deep, copy_shallow, equal_deep, equal_shallow. an implementation of the concept looks like this: template<class Mapping> friend void introspect(Mapping mapping,type<A>){ mapping (base_class<A_base>() ) (member<A,int ,&A::m_a>() ) (member<A,float ,&A::m_b>() ) (member<A,std::vector<int>,&A::m_vec>()) (); } members can also be associated with tags or data, and can be assigned semantics (e.g. polymorphic, shared/unique for pointers), but I won't go into too much detail for now. Best, Stefan

[RFC] string inserter/extractor "q u o t i n g"
by Beman Dawes 01 Jul '10

01 Jul '10

This is a request for comments on a delimited string inserter/extractor facility for Boost. The initial motivation is a need for Boost.Filesystem class path inserters and extractors to handle paths with embedded spaces. The problems stems from standard library stream I/O not round-tripping strings with embedded spaces, so a general solution might be of interest. It is a bit surprising that Boost doesn't seem to already have such a utility. The general solution presented here follows very common practice as to the format: strings are enclosed in delimiters on output and the delimiters (if present) are stripped on input. In the external format, an escape character precedes itself or the delimiter character should either be present in the string. The default delimiter character is the double-quote (") and the default escape character is the backslash (\). These defaults can be overridden. Example: const std::string expected("foo\\bar, \" *"); std::cout << delimit(expected); std::string actual; std::stringstream ss; ss << delimit(expected); ss >> undelimit(actual); assert(expected == actual); The output to cout is "foo\\bar, \" *" A prototype is available at http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/branches/filesystem3/boost/delimit_string.hpp. It is a header only implementation. Do you think this component, with suitable documentation, tests, etc., should become a part of Boost? If so, What library should it be part of? Seems too small to be a library all of its own. Where should the header live? What namespace should it be in? Are delimit() and undelimit() suitable names for the functions? Any other comments? Thanks, --Beman

Regression tests machines
by Joel Falcou 01 Jul '10

01 Jul '10

I am managing some spare machine with reasonable performances and compiler selection that are basically underused at the moment (including various i64, AMD and PowerPC server blade) with both gcc and icc. I guessed they could be used to run the boost regression test on a dialy or weekly basis. I found out about the : http://www.boost.org/development/running_regression_tests.html page but I wanted to know if there is any speficic need in term of paltofrm/compiler coverage or if I can just run whatever and push the regression result up ?

Does BGL use Quickbook to generate the HTML pages or are the HTML pages hand-coded?

[xint] Sixth release, preliminary review again please
by Chad Nelson 29 Jun '10

29 Jun '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The next iteration of the Extended Integer library (a arbitrary-length integer math library) is now available in the sandbox (at <https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/xint>) and the Vault (at <http://www.boostpro.com/vault/index.php?action=downloadfile&filename=xint.z…>). I think it's nearly ready for an official review. :-) The changes between this release and the last one are: * Refined the use of Boost.Parameter. Now only fixedlength takes a parameter; the other options are non-parameter types, which simplifies both their use and their implementation. * Minor redesign, taking advantage of proper policy-based design. nan() and operator~() are now only available on nothrow and fixedlength types, respectively, and is_nan() gets different definitions in the standard and nothrow types. * Added unsigned support, by request, with a variety of options for what to do when a calculation results in a negative number. * Added the difference function. * Added support for wide-character strings, by request. * Added the safe-bool idiom, by request. This release, like the last ones, includes a slightly older version of Ion Gaztañaga's preliminary Move library too. I haven't tested it with the current version, but it should work with that as well. The Move library is not used by default, and makes only a slight difference to the speed when thread-safety is enabled. Still on my immediate to-do list: * Add support for GCC's -fno-exceptions option. * Add more examples. - -- Chad Nelson Oak Circle Software, Inc. * * * -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkwcD6UACgkQp9x9jeZ9/wSfTwCfTMiucMP3uho9YmGJCyzMPe+s MhwAoMUe9tnFTHpQVDkCIfWiwpCjcuZi =QS39 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
