I would turn my attention to the new Range library: boost::push_back( cont, cref_csv(1,2,3,4) ); http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/libs/range/doc/html/range/reference/al… -Thorsten

[interprocess] (Win32) shared memory totally doesn't work :(
by David M. Cotter 16 Jun '10

16 Jun '10

so in process A i do this: shared_memory_object obj(create_only, "guid of some kind", read_write); during the construction of that object, it makes a call to "get_boot_time_str()" to construct a folder name based on the boot time. this makes sense, so process B can locate the SAME folder, cuz the boot time is the same, right? well, wrong. you see, the function *says* get_BOOT_time, but it is actually getting boot PLUS SYSTEM (current) time. which is going to be different for the two processes, unless they made the call at the *exact* same time. so it would seem, unless i'm totally misunderstanding this, that it is impossible to use the shared memory thing as it is implemented. if i *remove* the part where it relies on SYSTEM time and only let it use BOOT time, everything works as documented and as expected. what is this about? i'm so curious how other people could be using this? -dave

I'd like a URL that automatically redirects to the docs for the latest version of my library. Is there such a redirect on boost.org already? -- Eric Niebler BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

Perhaps the portable pathname grammar could be extended to allow backslash-escaping of spaces and backslashes? That or remove the stream operators entirely and force people to choose which way they want to print the path and deal with the result as a fully-general string.

[log] auto_flush not flushing?
by Michael Caisse 15 Jun '10

15 Jun '10

I'm running on Vista and compiled with VC8. I have initialized the backend like this: ----------------------- typedef sinks::synchronous_sink< sinks::text_file_backend > sink_type; boost::shared_ptr< sink_type > sink = boost::make_shared< sink_type >( keywords::file_name = "%Y%m%d_%H%M%S_%5N.log", keywords::open_mode = (std::ios::out | std::ios::app), keywords::auto_flush = true, keywords::rotation_size = rotate_size // rotation size, in characters ); if( target_directory.empty() ) { target_directory = suggest_target_directory(); } // Set up where the rotated files will be stored sink->locked_backend()->set_file_collector( sinks::file::make_collector( keywords::target = target_directory, // where to store rotated files keywords::max_size = max_stored_size, // maximum total size of the stored files, in bytes keywords::min_free_space = min_free_space // minimum free space on the drive, in bytes )); sink->locked_backend()->auto_flush(true); // Upon restart, scan the target directory for files matching the file_name pattern sink->locked_backend()->scan_for_files(); typedef aux::add_common_attributes_constants< char > traits_t; sink->locked_backend()->set_formatter( formatters::stream << formatters::attr< unsigned int >(traits_t::line_id_attr_name()) << " [" << formatters::date_time< boost::posix_time::ptime >(traits_t::time_stamp_attr_name()) << "] [" << formatters::attr< attributes::current_thread_id::held_type >(traits_t::thread_id_attr_name()) << "] [" << formatters::attr< severity_level >(sources::aux::severity_attribute_name< char >::get()) << "] " << formatters::message< char >() ); core::get()->add_sink(sink); --------- Notice I have also added a call to auto_flush (for good measure with the keyword didn't work (o; ) What happens is that the log file shows up after the program exits. Since I was hoping to tail the file for some debug ... that isn't very convenient. Ideas of what I have done wrong?

[log] Can Boost.Log be used in clean-up functions?
by Andrzej Krzemienski 15 Jun '10

15 Jun '10

Hi, By 'clean-up functions' I mean destructors or automatic objects, destructors of static objects, functions registered with std::atexit and std::terminate. So, what I want to ask is: Can I use Boost.Log for logging inside destructors of automatic objects? Destructors are exected not to throw by STL containers and algorithms, also it is often taught that a destructor throwing during stack unwinding ... Can the logging throw an exception? I guess it cn, and I guess, it my be unsafe to log in the destructor. Am I right? Can I use Boost.Log in functions that are run after function main finishes? I.e. can I safely log in destructors of static objects, or functions registered with std::atexit? Similarly, can I log in the std::terminate (if I have installed my custom handler)? When are log sources or sinks destroyed? Regards, &rzej

[xint] Fifth release -- one more round of reviews, please
by Chad Nelson 15 Jun '10

15 Jun '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 One more time... 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…>). It incorporates almost all of the suggestions offered on this list. The changes between this release and the last one are: * All three types (integer, nothrow_integer, and fixed_integer) have now been consolidated into a single template, using Boost.Parameter for the options. This release, like the last one, 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 an "unsigned" option, so that the mod operation will work as expected. * 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/ iEYEARECAAYFAkwTu5sACgkQp9x9jeZ9/wS2AQCfekF0zJW4TjDUhFNP/Cts6ZLC xXkAoNOchGNvIbJcimXnYo3PrSIF68or =4Knn -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
