ASIO: Why does do_one use a one second timeout and loop whan called in blocking mode?
by James Talbut 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

The implementation of do_one in win_iocp_io_service.hpp causes the waiting thread to wakeup every second, but I can't see any reason for doing so. The wakeup causes unnecessary context switches, which could have an impact on a busy machine, so what is the reasoning behind them? Thanks.

Random and bugs #1423 and #1473
by Marshall Clow 27 Nov '07

27 Nov '07

These two bugs document the same problem, but on different versions of MSVC (8 and 9). <http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/1423> <http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/1473> Can someone with access to these compilers test this out and fix these bugs? Thanks! -- -- Marshall Marshall Clow Idio Software <mailto:marshall@idio.com> It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning. It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.

warnings in Boost.Serialization
by Christoph Duelli 27 Nov '07

27 Nov '07

Due to templates warnings in Boost tend to create a lot of noise. As we try to maintain a 'no warnings' policy, it would be great if the following 'issues' could be fixed (otherwise I have to maintain a modified Boost around here) (Boost version 1.34.1) Serialization produces (in release builds) the following warnings (as the variables are only used in asserts or #ifdefs): basic_binary_oprimitive.hpp:87: warning: unused variable 'i' basic_binary_iprimitive.hpp:87: warning: unused variable 'i' shared_ptr.hpp:196: warning: unused variable 'file_version' (a trivial way to fix this would be: (void) i; is that ok? 'cause that is basically what I am using (inside a macro).) Best regards Christoph

[test] Causing regex regression?
by John Maddock 27 Nov '07

27 Nov '07

Gennadiy, Would you know the likely reason for a boost::system_error being thrown in this test: http://tinyurl.com/yq2yya ? Glancing at the Boost.Test source this appears to be thrown when an internal Boost.Test assertion fails? Any ideas what's going on? Thanks, John.

Candidate logging library and static initialization/destruction
by Matthew Herrmann 27 Nov '07

27 Nov '07

Hi, I have a question for the author of the logging library on the boost review queue regarding static initialization and destruction. I currently use the logging library that was rejected at the last review, and I noticed some issues with it relating to handling destruction in a static context. Specifically, I'd get occasional segfaults if I declared an item in static scope that logged in its destructor. Once the object was moved to within the main() function, the issue went away. I'm not sure if it was the logging library, or our use of it, but it was a bit of an issue since it made the use of logging less transparent to clients of my library code. I can see from the documentation that you have given quite a bit of thought to multithreading concerns. Have you also considered issues around static initialization and destruction? In particular, a class that performs logging in its constructor and destructor should still behave correctly when instantiated in a static context. I think the problems I had with logging before related to the logging data structures being torn down in the static destruction phase before my own objects. The way I solved that in a (far more limited!) logging library for our own use was the following: - Never destroy the logging data structures -- allow them to leak. No risk of static ordering issues. - In the static initialization case, initialize the logging structures on first access, and if not accessed during the static context, guarantee that they are initialized before main() is called. To do that, I essentially borrowed the implementation of the boost pool singleton, except that I removed the destruction: http://boost.org/libs/pool/doc/implementation/singleton.html Anyway, I would appreciate hearing your thoughts on this area as I'd like to use version 2! Many thanks, Matthew Herrmann

Hi John, Thanks for getting back to me. > I have encountered this as well - in v1. > [snip] in v2 [snip] > So, within a week - this feature will be present. Ah good sounds like we're thinking on the same lines. No rush, it could be fiddly. > As a side-note - if you could trim down the example and send it to me, > that would make it easier for me to test ;) No problem -- I'll see if I can come up with a couple of tests around that area and forward them onto you.

Re: [boost] Boost Threads Condition may block forever on clock change
by ak1mbox-boost＠yahoo.ca 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

Hi, Thank you to everyone who replied to my question. Its very good that it is now possible to initialize condition with a relative timeout, if I understood the last post correctly. This help to resolve at least part of the problem. One quick note, another cross OS library that implements a lot of threading primitives is APR (Apache Runtime Library). I have been using APR heavily for the last few month and my testing showed that APR does not have this problem of being affected by clock changes. I am not sure about their internal implementation so can't comment on differences between APR and BOOST condition but this might be something interesting to look at. Thank you, Alex
