[units] failures in tests and untested non-SI code
by Zach Laine 14 May '08

14 May '08

I realize that the Units libary is still a work-in-progress, but I thought you might like to know about these failures. Using 1.35.0 with the latest Units code (SVN rev. 45355) and using GCC 4.1.2, I get these failures in test/: test_limits, test_cmath The exact compilation errors are in the file attached. Also, I cannot compile this simple test code. I may very well be doing something wrong: #include <boost/units/systems/si.hpp> #include <boost/units/systems/other/foot.hpp> #include <boost/units/systems/detail/non_si_unit.hpp> BOOST_UNITS_NON_SI_UNIT(survey, yard_per_sec, yard_per_sec, 0.3048006 * 3.0, boost::units::SI::velocity, 53); typedef boost::units::quantity<boost::units::survey::yard_per_sec_base_unit, double> YardsPerSec; int main() { YardsPerSec yps1; YardsPerSec yps2; yps1 -= yps2; } The errors are: g++ test_non_si_units.cpp -o test -g -I /usr/local/include/boost-1_35 /usr/local/include/boost-1_35/boost/units/quantity.hpp: In member function 'boost::units::quantity<Unit, Y>& boost::units::quantity<Unit, Y>::operator-=(const boost::units::quantity<Unit2, YY>&) [with Unit2 = boost::units::survey::yard_per_sec_base_unit, YY = double, Unit = boost::units::survey::yard_per_sec_base_unit, Y = double]': test_non_si_units.cpp:14: instantiated from here /usr/local/include/boost-1_35/boost/units/quantity.hpp:233: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to incomplete type 'boost::STATIC_ASSERTION_FAILURE<false>' There appear to be no tests defined for the non-SI parts of Units, which is probably why this has gone unnoticed (if indeed it has). HTH, Zach

[Thread] Compilation error when default calling convention is not __cdecl
by Francois Barel 14 May '08

14 May '08

Hi list, I'd like to bring to your attention ticket #1470 (http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/1470) which seems to have been missed for v1.35.0, maybe because I set the milestone to "TBD". The patch (http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/attachment/ticket/1470/BTL-calling-conv.diff) fixes compilation problems for Boost.Thread when the compiler's default calling convention is not __cdecl (seen on Win32, VC9 with /Gz option). Note that r43847 already contained a small fraction of that fix -- but only for the prototype of on_thread_exit, not for its implementation or for the other functions (on_thread_enter, and their on_process_* counterparts). Cheers, François

[GTL] redesign checked into sandbox
by Simonson, Lucanus J 14 May '08

14 May '08

I checked a gtl project into the sandbox so that I can keep postings to the list more brief while allowing people to see the up to date and correctly compiling state of the re-design and re-implementation of the library interfaces. The main header file is gtl.h, which includes the others and defines free functions that may rely on any of the geometry concepts when instantiating the template function. A recent change is to the design is that rather than using SFINAE to overload a free function on return type I now call a meta-function that looks up from the related concept and provides the correct return type based upon the args given (see get() in gtl.h). This eliminates the need to register the return type in a specialized traits class since the concept can provide it for the given type generically.

[Boost][ProgramOptions] Interest in a CGI parameters parser?
by Bruno Lalande 14 May '08

14 May '08

Hello, Yesterday I had to write a program that compiles 2 forms of executables: a standalone version that takes its parameters from the command line, and another one that serves as a CGI program and thus takes exactly the same parameters but from stdin (POST method). I naturally chose Boost.ProgramOptions for the first one, and did the job by myself for the second one. I finally realized that I was doing fundamentally the same thing as what a ProgramOptions parser basically does: parsing a name=value series of variables, checking unknown values, assign them to variables, etc... plus a few formatting work to handle URL format specificities. So in the end I was wondering if a "cgi_query_parser" would be appreciated as an addition to the parsers already present in Boost.ProgramOptions? I can directly see the benefits inside my own program since the 2 versions would only differ on one line of code. >From a more general point of view, it could be a simple way to have a CGI support somewhere in Boost. If such a thing can be interesting, I can take a few time to implement it. Regards Bruno

Did anything ever come of this? I've been searching through all the list postings on this, dating back to 2000, and it doesn't look like this library ever made it into boost proper. It's exactly what I've been looking for, and I would really like to use it in my work, but I can't justify that if it's not an official part of boost. I also would hate to reinvent this particular wheel. Please could someone get this moving again? Also, where would I now find the version of this code that was put up for review? The links in the original message are no longer current. --Neil

svnmerge spews all over trac...
by Rene Rivera 13 May '08

13 May '08

Having an svnmerge command like in this case <http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/45029> spew commentary all over existing trac items like this one <http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/1889>, just seems like a really bad thing. Is this yet another reason not to use svnmerge? Or is it operator (not to pick on Eric) error that can be averted in the future? Or could it be the trac comment plugin causing this, and svnmerge is blameless? -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail

[asio] question on boost::asio::ssl::stream::async_shutdown expected behaviour
by Carlo Medas 13 May '08

13 May '08

Hi guys, I've question on behaviour of boost::asio::ssl::stream::async_shutdown I would expect that this should behave as any other async method of ASIO: both in case of succeed or error it should call my handler on completion. At some point in my code I call: > m_sslSocket.async_shutdown(boost::bind(&TestClient::handle_sslshutdown, this, boost::asio::placeholders::error)); > void TestClient::handle_sslshutdown(const boost::system::error_code& error) > { > std::cout << "SSL shutdown completed with error <"<<error.message()<<">\n"; > socket_.lowest_layer().close(); > std::cout << "Lower TCP layer closed\n"; > } But it's never called on successful shutdown, it's called only if the other peer previously yet closed the connection, thus resulting in an error. So my handler is called with relative error code; in positive case, my handler is never called. What am I missing? Something here in client code or something in the server code? Thanks in advance and best regards, Carlo Medas

Boost.Test SIGCHLD catching causes tests to fail
by Kevin Harris 13 May '08

13 May '08

I'm trying to update my project to use boost 1.35. There is behavior in the test library to catch SIGCHLD and consider it an error. Is there a reason for this? I have cases where my tests really do need to execute something (to test some execution code). For our purposes, the default behavior of SIGCHLD is correct, and reporting it as an error is wrong. The other signals (SIGILL, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS, etc.) are all good to catch, as they usually indicate a real error. Is there some way to configure this separately from the rest of the errors properly detected and reported by BOOST_TEST_CATCH_SYSTEM_ERRORS=yes? Here's some output: Platform: linux Compiler: GNU C++ version 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2) STL : GNU libstdc++ version 20070929 Boost : 1.35.0 unknown location(0): fatal error in "test_real_execute": child has exited; pid: 1000; uid: 22286; exit value: 0 test_execute.cpp(106): last checkpoint Note that in that output the PID and UID are backwards. I couldn't find any way to configure this separately, so for my own use I'm just going to put a few #ifdefs around the SIGCHLD code (like the SIGPOLL handling) in boost/test/impl/execution_monitor.ipp unless someone has a better idea. Thanks. -Kevin-
