Looking for ScopeExit Reviews
by Jody Hagins 19 Aug '07

19 Aug '07

The review ends in three days (on Wednesday). The current collection of reviews is very small, thus I am asking for more reviews of this library. Thanks! >From the original announcement... The review period for Scope Exit Time Series, submitted by Alexander Nasonov, runs from Monday, August 13 until Wednesday, August 22. >From the documentation: Nowadays, every C++ developer is familiar with RAII technique. It binds resource acquisition and release to initialization and destruction of a variable that holds the resource. But there are times when writing a special class for such variable is not worth the effort. This is when ScopeExit macro comes into play. You put resource acquisition directly in your code and next to it you write a code that releases the resource. Note that ScopeExit uses PP macros and relies on Boost.Typeof. The latest version can is here: http://boost-consulting.com/vault/index.php?action=downloadfile&filename=sc… It's available also at http://tinyurl.com/2z6qg2 Online documentation is here: http://194.6.223.221/~nasonov/scope_exit-0.04/libs/scope_exit/doc/html/inde… >From the review guidelines here: http://boost.org/more/formal_review_process.htm ... Boost mailing list members are encouraged to submit Formal Review comments: * Publicly on the mailing list. * Privately to the Review Manager. Private comments to a library submitter may be helpful to her or him, but won't help the Review Manager reach a decision, so the other forms are preferred. What to include in Review Comments Your comments may be brief or lengthy, but basically the Review Manager needs your evaluation of the library. If you identify problems along the way, please note if they are minor, serious, or showstoppers. Here are some questions you might want to answer in your review: * What is your evaluation of the design? * What is your evaluation of the implementation? * What is your evaluation of the documentation? * What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library? * Did you try to use the library? With what compiler? Did you have any problems? * How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A quick reading? In-depth study? * Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain? And finally, every review should answer this question: * Do you think the library should be accepted as a Boost library? Be sure to say this explicitly so that your other comments don't obscure your overall opinion. Thanks in advance to every for your participation in this review.

Calling library maintainers
by Marshall Clow 19 Aug '07

19 Aug '07

I was doing some cleanup on the boost Trac this morning - trying to make sure that bugs were getting to the right people, and I have bugs that I want to assign to libraries (and maintainers), but the maintainers are not users on the Trac system. I would appreciate it if all library maintainers would create accounts for themselves on Trac. Instructions can be found here: <http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/>. Doing bug triage this morning, I was looking for user names for: Ion Gaztanaga (interprocess) Thorsten Ottosen (range, ptr_container) Stephen Cleary (pool) Jaakko Jarvi (lambda) Fernando Cacciola (optional) Alexander Nasonov (any) John R. Bandela (tokenizer) If I've got any of these names wrong or if someone else is now maintaining these libraries, please let me know (they came from "libs/maintainers.txt") Thanks in advance! -- -- 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.

[Intrusive] More compile time parameters
by Rei Thiessen 18 Aug '07

18 Aug '07

Hello, (my version of the library is intrusive.2007-03-04.zip. Is there a more recent version?) I have three suggestions: 1) The containers uses a modulo operation to map the hash value range into the bucket index domain. When using a bucket size that is an order of 2, the excess cost of the div instruction is unneeded. This was a critical issue for me. There can be a new templated type parameter for specifying a functor that takes the hash output value and the bucket size as inputs and outputs the bucket index. The default type of this template parameter can simply be std::modulus. 2) Each container stores the bucket size. This is too an unneeded excess in certain circumstances. If the containers had a (optional) templated constant parameter that determined its bucket size, then the container memory footprint can be reduced at the expense of bloating the code segments with multiple instantiations. This memory saving is crucial when deploying numerous small hash container objects. This new templated constant parameter has interface ramifications. We would require two specializations of the container class: the run-time bucket size specialization is what we have today; for the compile-time bucket size container, the constructors would not have "size_type buckets_len" parameters. 3) Now, if we add another templated type parameter for specifying a functor that takes the object 'this' pointer as input and outputs the memory address of the bucket array, then we can reduce the memory cost of each container to zero. Combining 2) and 3), we can develop a single concept: As an example... struct default_bucket_info { /* appropriate constructors... */ bucket_ptr buckets_; size_type buckets_len_; template<class T> bucket_ptr buckets( T* container ) const { return buckets_; } size_type buckets_len() const { return buckets_len_; } } Realizing 2): template< unsigned n > struct bucket_info_size_n { /* appropriate constructors... */ bucket_ptr buckets_; template<class T> bucket_ptr buckets( T* container ) const { return buckets_; } size_type buckets_len() const { return 1<<n; } } Realizing 2) and 3): template< unsigned n > struct bucket_info_in_place_size_n { template<class T> bucket_ptr buckets( T* container ) const { return (bucket_ptr)container; } size_type buckets_len() const { return 1<<n; } } Applying these concepts, I think we can reach a balance between having a concrete container class and having a collection of free container algorithm functions. (If only C++ would adopt C99's VLAs, 3) can be far more elegant...) Are there any drawbacks to extending the unordered associative container classes with these concepts? (I will be modifying my copy of the library with these changes for my personal needs) RT

Time Series review results
by John Phillips 17 Aug '07

17 Aug '07

I am pleased to announce that the Time Series library, submitted by Eric Neibler and developed by him along with Daniel Egloff, Matthias Troyer, David Abrahams and Daniel Wallin using funding provided by Zurcher Kantonalbank has been accepted into boost. As seen in the review, there are some important issues that need to be addressed before the library is ready for boost distribution, however I am confident that this is a very good library. Although the donation of time and funding for Time Series by Zurcher Kantonalbank is laudable and something we would like to encourage more companies to do, the fact that it was donated is not important to the review process. Something that is important is the well-established reputation of the involved lead developer. Eric has a number of very high quality libraries already in boost and has shown his willingness to support them thoroughly and improve them continually. He has been very responsive to user feedback and has an obvious desire to have only high quality work committed to boost with his name on it. For this reason, I am giving him a little more leeway than might be given to a developer without his reputation to address the issues in this review and enter the revised version into boost without a fast tracked second review. Many thanks to the participants in the review: Tom Brinkman, Hugo Duncan, Andrey Tcherepanov, Matthias Schabel, Steven Watanabe, Stjepan Rajko, Matias Capeletto, Matthias Schabel, Lewis Hyatt, Paul Bristow, Tobias Schwinger, Matthias Troyer, Phil Endecott, Zach Laine, Dave Abrahams, Michael Marcin, and Michael Fawcett for their time and attention. The discussions held in this review provided a strong foundation for improving the library, and the variety of domains of expertise represented by the participants shows how broad the desire for a library of this sort is. Most of the points raised in the review have been directly addressed by Eric and discussed until a solution that is acceptable to all involved parties was reached. Eric has acknowledged many as now either fixed in his version or on his To-Do list. However, for the sake of easy reference I will list the major points and my current understanding of what to do about them below. The order in which the points are presented should not be taken as a rating of importance: it is just the order I made notes about them as I reviewed the discussion. 1) Fix the floating-point offset issues – The answer to this may be a change in how they are implemented or a complete scrapping of the floating point offsets as an indexing type. In either case, it would be a good idea to provide a view facade for time series that applies a constant multiplicative factor (or possibly a more general function) to an offset. This may even be a sufficient answer to all the floating-point issues, but it is not yet clear to me (or to anyone else that I noticed in the review) what the best answer is. I expect there will be continued discussion on the developer list to clarify this issue. 2) Polish and include the rolling window average example sent to the list – This is a very good example of a very potent design idiom for this library, and one that would help a lot of people better understand the potential of the library. The use of the circular buffer to collect multiple points is necessary for many filters. It is such a good case that you should consider not only including it in the library, but also making a tutorial out of it that shows how new algorithms can be added to the library. Ideally, many algorithms that are specific to domains that the authors are not specialists in will be donated by users who develop and polish them for inclusion. A very clear tutorial will make this more likely. 3) If the rolling average is not developed as a tutorial example, some other filter should be – There is no way the library can include all the filters in use by programmers in all the various use domains, so the expectation is that writing your own filters will be common. The documentation needs to support this very well. 4) The documentation needs improvement in a number of ways – Reorganization to build from foundational ideas and uses to the more complex issues is important, as is the addition of overview, tutorial and rationale sections, as well as a substantial increase in the number of examples. The learning curve is currently too steep and that seems to be discouraging users who might find the library a very good fit. An important step along the way is to add good examples and good pictures in many places in the documentation. This general note is reinforced in some of the other comments. 5) Small toy examples for each of the algorithms would make the documentation of them far more clear 6) Since you maintain both libraries, it would be useful to add to the documentation for both the Time Series and the Accumulators libraries some notes on how a user should select between them for specific jobs. This came up in discussions before the review, so it is likely to be a problem for more future users. 7) Well chosen pictures can help the readers of this documentation immensely – Especially in your attempts to clarify the documentation of the discretization, the offset and sample values, good pictures will be invaluable. 8) Expand the focus of the documentation so it doesn't appear to a casual reader that this is purely for econometric/financial time series – The library has potential uses in a wide variety of fields, so it is important that potential future users can tell that from even a light skimming of the documentation. 9) The prenamed discretizations seem to cause more problems than they solve – Initial testing of the boost::units library to provide discretization units looks hopeful. If this stands up under testing, not only remove the current prenamed discretizations, but also document using boost::units. A good example could do for this. 10) It is only possible to assign across series with the same discretization type – This should be made more explicit in the documentation and also since a good example of trouble that would be caused by trying to assign series with different discretization types showed up during the review, it might be added to the rationale section so users can see why the choice is a good one. 11) The reasoning behind having unit series for types that have no obvious unit member should also appear in the rationale – In general, there were many good explanations for design choices that should appear in the rationale section. Many of these reasons are compelling but not obvious to a developer who has not tried writing a time series library. Thus they are ideal rationale entries. 12) Currently non-entries in a dense time series are recorded as zeros. This does not seem to be the best idea in all cases. In specific, in some time series, the difference between a value of zero an unknown is very important. Investigate the best choice for a non-entry. Zero gives simple arithmetic for multiplication (though not addition) that gives the unknown value placeholder when multiplied with anything. Some non-zero value would have to have special arithmetic rules, probably. A universal answer may not be feasible. If not, consider making the unknown value a parameter available for the user to set. 13) Consider a name change from delta_series to dirac_delta_series and a link in the documentation to what a Dirac delta function is. 14) Consider renaming the inverse_series to reciprocal_series or some other more illustrative name. 15) Consider reorganizing to expose the storage containers to outside developers – They are likely to be useful for a number of applications aside from time series and this would prevent others from needing to reinvent the wheel as often. 16) Since the usage of time series is spread across a variety of different problem domains, there will be terms that aren't familiar to many of the readers of the documentation. Consider including links to definitions and descriptions for many of the terms used. Paul's example of users who don't know what amortized constant complexity implies is unfortunately not extreme for what you should expect. 17) ordered_inserter is not a great name for the operation it performs - Determine a better name and change to that. Also consider moving to named parameters for the start, stop and value arguments to the ordered_inserter. After all this, the ordered_inserter is a lower level interface than most users want in most circumstances. Add another layer for doing appends on top of this interface, and include a push_back method where sensible for more stl-like syntax. 18) There is a confusion between the template parameter discretization and the constructor parameter discretization. Consider changing the name for the template parameter to something like Discretization_type. 19) Include in the documentation a clear description of what it means for two discretizations to be the same, and point out that the runtime check for this is an assertion, not an exception. Explain why in the rationale section, if nowhere else. 20) A number of reviewers found the concepts of discretization, offset and run to be hard to grasp from the documentation. Work to improve this. 21) The comparison operators for the time_series_facade currently are tied to the time_series_base class. This could be generalized to remove that dependency. If this is done, the documentation should no longer say that time_series_base is the base for all time_series classes, but instead that it provides a convenient base for implementing time_series classes. If this isn't done, the documentation should clearly state the need to inherit from time_series_base. 22) A large number of specific documentation edits were provided in posts by Steven, Paul and Zach. 23) Fix the documentation to clearly show what kind of iterator the series_stl_iterator is. 24) This is outside the scope of this review for a complete answer, but there are questions about the behavior of non-MSVC compilers that define the _MSC_VER macro to masquerade as MS compilers. Is there a way to know which (if any) share the behaviors of the actual MS compilers they pose as, and what is the best way to test for them in code. While the pursuit of this answer is not part of this library, using it is, so if a good answer is found it should become part of this library. 25) Provide versions of the fine_grain and coarse_grain functions that allow for the user to easily provide a sampling function - This is likely to be a very common use case for this library, so it should be well supported. An example in the documentation of how to do this is a good idea. 26) If the review of floating point offsets concludes that they should remain in the library, the dense series reference page should explicitly point out that floating point offsets are not usable with dense series. 27) What is the appropriate handling of zero width points. They are a part of the library in the delta_series, so having them is unavoidable. They should be on firm conceptual ground if possible. 28) Make the existence and use of the set_at function more obvious in the documentation – Reviewers didn't notice it and missed the functionality, so others will, as well. 29) Consider whether it is valuable to provide versions of the transform algorithm that take more than two series as arguments. I can't think of a good application off hand, but there may be some. However, the same reviewer who requested the feature said earlier in the review that he almost never works on more than one series at a time. 30) Provide an example of using a single pass data stream with a circular buffer based algorithm. 31) Consider a better name for the scaled_storage_tag. 32) Consider whether users need access to the metafunctions used to determine return types. If so, consider how they could be exposed in a user friendly way. Once again, my thanks to the reviewers and the developers for the work, time and attention put into this library and congratulations to Eric for the accepted work. John Phillips Review Manager

Now that we've switched everyone back to testing the trunk I though I'd bring this test up. When one is lucky, it fails with a "memory access violation" in *all* platforms. When one isn't lucky, which seems to be just about all the time on my Linux machine, one gets an interrupt from libc with an accompanying stack dump: *** glibc detected *** /home/grafik/devroots/Boost/boost-trunk-testing/results/boost/bin.v2/libs/graph/test/csr_graph_test.test/gcc-4.2.0~linux~x86/debug/csr_graph_test: free(): invalid size: 0x08091818 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6[0xb7cdf7cd] /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6[0xb7ce04da] /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6(__libc_malloc+0x7e)[0xb7ce160e] /usr/local/gcc-4.2.0/lib/libstdc++.so.6(__cxa_allocate_exception+0x22)[0xb7eac3a2] /home/grafik/devroots/Boost/boost-trunk-testing/results/boost/bin.v2/libs/graph/test/csr_graph_test.test/gcc-4.2.0~linux~x86/debug/csr_graph_test[0x804c797] /home/grafik/devroots/Boost/boost-trunk-testing/results/boost/bin.v2/libs/graph/test/csr_graph_test.test/gcc-4.2.0~linux~x86/debug/csr_graph_test[0x804c86f] /home/grafik/devroots/Boost/boost-trunk-testing/results/boost/bin.v2/libs/graph/test/csr_graph_test.test/gcc-4.2.0~linux~x86/debug/csr_graph_test[0x804d680] /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xdc)[0xb7c8debc] /home/grafik/devroots/Boost/boost-trunk-testing/results/boost/bin.v2/libs/graph/test/csr_graph_test.test/gcc-4.2.0~linux~x86/debug/csr_graph_test(_ZNSt15basic_streambufIcSt11char_traitsIcEE6xsputnEPKci+0x41)[0x804af91] ======= Memory map: ======== 08048000-0807c000 r-xp 00000000 03:01 879620 /home/grafik/devroots/Boost/boost-trunk-testing/results/boost/bin.v2/libs/graph/test/csr_graph_test.test/gcc-4.2.0~linux~x86/debug/csr_graph_test 0807c000-0807d000 rw-p 00034000 03:01 879620 /home/grafik/devroots/Boost/boost-trunk-testing/results/boost/bin.v2/libs/graph/test/csr_graph_test.test/gcc-4.2.0~linux~x86/debug/csr_graph_test 0807d000-080c0000 rw-p 0807d000 00:00 0 [heap] [...] ************************* ~~~~ ************************* Which wouldn't be so bad, except that it halts the testing.
