[Spirit] '_' parsed as '\0' with qi::phrase_parse
by Olaf van der Spek 19 Jul '22

19 Jul '22

Hi, The underscore is parsed as a null character. Is this expected. A bug? If a full repro is needed I can create one. qi::rule<iterator_t, std::string(), Skip> identifier; identifier %= lexeme[alpha >> *(alnum | '.' | '_')]; typedef boost::spirit::classic::position_iterator<const char*> iterator_t; std::string s = "a_b blah"; iterator_t is(s.c_str(), s.c_str() + s.size(), "<name>"); std::string out; bool res = qi::phrase_parse(is, iterator_t(), identifier, skip, out); if (!res && is != iterator_t()) error_handler_::err(is); cout << out.size() << "|" << out << "|\n"; cout << int(out[0]) << " " << int(out[1]) << " " << int(out[2]) << "\n"; Output: // 3|ab| // 97 0 98 Greetings, -- Olaf

[Graph] Can users on Xcode 7-10 help out?
by Jeremy Murphy 12 Jul '22

12 Jul '22

Dear Boost.Graph users, Is anyone that uses old Xcode 7-10 able to help out with some curious compilation errors? https://github.com/boostorg/graph/issues/298 We'll do our best to fix them but I assume it might be easier for someone that actually uses these particular platforms. Thanks, cheers. Jeremy

[process] Process.Spawn leaves the child in zombie state on posix
by Benedek Tass 08 Jul '22

08 Jul '22

Hi, everyone! This bug was observed in 2022.07.05, using boost version 1.79.0. Similar behaviour was commented on before on online messageboards. Bug description When starting a new, detached process with Process.Spawn in a posix system, if the parent process outlives the child, the child process remains in zombie state for the parent process' lifetime. The bug described above is demonstrated in the CMake project attached to this document. Analysis The spawn function injects the syscall "signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_IGN)" with a functor of type boost::process::detail::posix::sig_init_. This is done to the forked child process, to no avail. And this is not done (and should not be done) in the parent process being too intrusive. Possible mitigation Introducing an in-between forked process that serves as the parent of the to-be-spawned process with SIGCHLD set to SIG_IGN would prevent the spawned process to become zombie, and simultaneously does not disturb the parent process' signal handlers. Introducing another class alternative to sig_init_ with the functionality described above would be a reasonable approach. An implementation sketch of the double fork method can be found in the attached project. System used OS: Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS arch: x86_64 compiler: gcc-7.5.0 libc: libc-2.27 boost: 1.79.0 (built from source) Best regards, Benedek Tass

Re: [boost] [Boost-users] Boost.URL review planned for 13-22 August 2022

The review starts in August but there is no rule that says folks can't look at the library sooner :) The library is in very good shape and likely usable for your project today (although we do expect bugs to be found, which will be fixed as they get reported). Check it out here: <https://github.com/CPPAlliance/url> Docs: <https://master.url.cpp.al/> We're glad to answer any questions at any time either on the list or feel free to open an issue in the repository (even if it is just a question).

Boost Regression Results Not Updating

I just noticed that something happened with the regression results and they haven't updated since last Friday. https://www.boost.org/development/tests/master/developer/summary.html https://www.boost.org/development/tests/develop/developer/summary.html I'm not sure where these run these days, would it fit in a github action on the regression repo?
