[intrusive_ptr] adding thread safety
by JOAQUIN LOPEZ MU?Z 07 Jul '06

07 Jul '06

Hello, A naive usage of intrusive_ptr involves having a refcount embedded in the pointed to object and providing add_red and release functions like: void intrusive_ptr_add_ref(const my_class* p) { ++(p->ref); } template<typename T> void intrusive_ptr_release(const my_class* p) { if(--(p->ref)==0){ // whatever } } But, AFAICS, this is not thread safe, as intrusive_ptr itself does not add any thread safety layer. So my question is how to efficiently provide add_ref and release functions which are thread safe (wrt to refcounting)? I can use a class-level boost::detail::lightweight_mutex in the obvious way, but I understand shared_ptr uses much more advanced mechanisms and maybe these are available for (semi)public consuption at boost/detail. Thank you, Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Shmem serious bugs Initial Comment: Hi, these are the 2 things I have found so far using the shmem lib. My understading is that this is not yet a boost library but it has been accepted to become one in the near future. Accept my apologies if I shouldnÂ´t had posted here. 1) If you try to use a node allocator with a fixed_named_shared_object it won't compile. Works fine for non fixed segments. 2) If you concatenate with the '+=' operator a boost::string with a NULL terminated str (char *) in a loop up to N times, you get bad_alloc sooner than if you do a single allocation of the same lenght of the N previous allocations. So concatenating is wasting memory somehow, as you can allocate longer strings with a single allocation than with N equivalent concatenations. Thanks.

Comment on string / unicode discussion
by Sean Parent 07 Jul '06

07 Jul '06

I don't have enough time to delve deeply into this thread but I thought I'd make a few passing comments. Adobe has a fairly major string class problem (we joke that every project must have it's own string class - which is nearly true). There isn't such thing as a single type of string - there are _many_ purposes and you need to be able to handle things like language and style runs and large, large blocks of text with efficient edits, UI substations (which are aware of things like split negation and masculine/feminine forms), language based ordering, different encodings... We need another string class like a hole in the head. What we do need - are good standard algorithms which can be applied to any string class. I believe this is doable with the current iterator interface. I believe it's possible (meaning I've done some quick experiments) to define an input iterator (actually as strong as a non-mutating forward iterator) and output iterator, which do conversions. This means that you can define operations in terms of unicode encoding (though some operations such as ordering may still require a locale). Consider - to_lower(first, last, output) to_upper(first, last, output) such transformations can work with any encoding (you can uppercase UTF-8 into UTF-32). They can't work in-situ (but I don't think to_upper or to_lower really can work in-situ - certainly not in UTF-8 and probably not in UTF-16, and I believe there are some multi- character forms that even break in UTF-32...). It is possible though to wrap them with a replace function for in-place operations. The current std::find() will work with such iterator adapters to find single UTF-32 character (in any encoded sequence). Currently with ASL we're taking such an approach for localization strings (replacing an existing string class for localized strings at Adobe with a small set of functions and _any_ string class (any sequence of code units), including std::string, std::vector (or deque or list). You might take a look here for some ideas: <http:// opensource.adobe.com/group__asl__xstring.html>. Sean

Adobe Source Libraries, GIL, and Boost
by Sean Parent 07 Jul '06

07 Jul '06

Lubomir pointed me at the GIL thread on the list - and I wanted to make a few comments about how I see the relationship between Boost and ASL. The charter for Boost is to vet libraries for possible inclusion in the standard. The charter for ASL is to explore the use of generic and declarative techniques to develop large applications. Our goal is to replace 85% of the imperative code being developed with small declarative constructs. Certainly there is going to be some overlap between the two project and ASL makes _heavy_ use of Boost and borrows ideas from Boost quite freely. For parts of ASL, inclusion into Boost makes perfect sense - and we try to actively defer to Boost when a Boost library can meet our needs. Boost certainly has a significantly larger user base than ASL and far more active developers (anyone interested in helping out ASL???). I _really_ wish that I had enough time/resources on my team to take some parts of ASL and contribute them to Boost. However, my teams focus currently needs to stay on the higher level libraries (which I don't think are ready for Boost yet) and we simply can't afford the time to go through the submission process. But I'm 100% supportive of Lubomir's contribution of GIL (Lubomir is not on my team, and I'm thrilled that he can take the time for this submission to Boost - just I'm I'm thrilled that we were able to release it as part of ASL). GIL is a very significant piece of work. I will also support anyone who would like to borrow portions of ASL to contribute them to Boost. Some libraries that I think would be interesting to get into Boost with some comments about what I see as still needing to be done. --- Forest <http://opensource.adobe.com/group__asl__tutorials__forest.html> I've started to map the concepts from forest into the terminology of BGL <http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/ Edge_Interface_For_Forest_Iterators>. There is also some work here about generic algorithms for node based iterators (see the undocumented code for reverse_append here <http:// opensource.adobe.com/reverse_8hpp-source.html>. With a bit more polish I think this could be a _really_ nice collections of node based algorithms and concepts, which could be applied to a single linked list and other pre-traversed structures such as forest. There are also some forest specific algorithms I'd like to see such as the rotate necessary for balancing AVL trees (any forest is a binary tree, and vice versa - see Knuth). Range Based Algorithms (using the boost range library) <http:// opensource.adobe.com/group__standard__extensions.html> I've just started busting these out into separate headers (along the boost style - for example adobe/algorithm/reverse.hpp) - for inclusion in Boost I'd like to see this complete. This would be pretty simple to incorporate into Boost (and they are quite handy!). CMath C99 compatibility <http://opensource.adobe.com/group__cmath.html> There are also some rounding modes which were missing - This seems like a pretty straight forward "grab". ZUIDs <http://opensource.adobe.com/classadobe_1_1zuid__t.html> I'd like to see some review of the platform dependent code which gathers entropy to ensure we're getting enough entropy. A short tutorial would be good. ZUIDs would be a good addition to the serialization library. md5 and SHA code <http://opensource.adobe.com/classadobe_1_1md5__t.html> <http://opensource.adobe.com/group__adobe__sha.html> Review and a short tutorial ONCE <http://opensource.adobe.com/group__adobe__once.html> The STATIC_INSTANCE stuff might be able to be removed - this was done for the Mac where static initializer on DLLs were getting executed on a thread after load so other functions in the compilation unit could be executed concurrently. That may have been fixed (I haven't tracked the issue) - this library would be a good addition to Boost threads. ThreadID <http://opensource.adobe.com/group__asl__thread__id.html> Another good addition to Boost threads. Final <http://opensource.adobe.com/group__adobe__final.html> I don't use inheritance much but this would be a nice addition to Boost utilities. Counter <http://opensource.adobe.com/classadobe_1_1counter__t.html> If boost would surface the lightweight mutex used in shared_ptr - this would go away. (This is a heavyweight one - as I'm counting on Boost providing a lightweight one in the future :-) ). value_t <http://opensource.adobe.com/classadobe_1_1value__t.html> I think there are some nice ideas here which could be stolen for boost::any - value_t also captures equality comparison, makes use of a variant to avoid heap allocations for some common types (I'm not sure but I think boost any does two heap allocations, and value_t never does more than one). regular_object <http://opensource.adobe.com/ classadobe_1_1regular__object.html> This is a generalization of value_t (and boost any) - the idea is to be able to parameters an "any" object by concept. Mat Marcus has been doing a fair amount of work with this library. Needs better docs and tutorial. dictionary_t, array_t, name_t <http://opensource.adobe.com/ group__asl__tutorials__dictionary__t.html> ASL using these heavily to communicate with the runtime languages - could be used as part of the Python bindings (we're currently looking at doing Lua bindings with them. dictionary_t needs a closed hash implementation - there is one in the /future/ directory in ASL inspired by the Lua table structure, I haven't had a chance to compare it in depth to the Google hash implementations. Copy-On-Write <http://opensource.adobe.com/ classadobe_1_1copy__on__write.html> This is a fairly polished library - I've done lots of experimenting with COW (I prefer the term copy-on-modify - but COM confuses everyone...) over the last 10 years or so. This is a nice, simple, and efficient implementations (but it does need a better counter - see above). XML Parser <http://opensource.adobe.com/ classadobe_1_1xml__parser__t.html> This is a subset of an XML parser developed for xstrings. In our upcoming .18 release it has been expanded to support more uses by Eric Berdahl and Foster Brereton. It is designed to be a very efficient parser which pareses in place, and allows for preorder and postorder handling of elements (allowing for inplace substitutions). Needs a fair amount of work still to be a general XML parser - but I'd like to see that happen. --- Wow - that's not a complete list (much longer than I set out to write - I forget how large of a library we've created!). If you're not aware of ASL - it's all released under the MIT license (making it fairly straight forward to get through a code audit). I'd be happy to help out anyone who has the time to prepare some of these libraries (or any other library from ASL) for inclusion in Boost - ASL would also benefit from such an effort. Sean

[asio][thread] a new model for boost::asio (coroutine)
by 李慧霸 07 Jul '06

07 Jul '06

I have used the recent boost::asio library in my small project, I found it very difficult to correctly write the asynchronous code. So I tried another approach ---- a Half-Sync/Half-Async, I found it much better. The basic idea is very simple, utilize the coroutines(also called light weight threads, or user level threads) to handle multiple connections simultaneously and collaboratively. This approach has the advantange of simplicity in the Synchronous IO model, as well as the high performance in the Asynchronous IO model. Unfortunately, there isn't any coroutine support in boost::thread, and I had to make my experiment with the fiber support in ms windows. So I suggest coroutine be support. The benefit isn't only confined to boost::asio, in fact, it's an important way to describe algorithm flow, and many dynamic languages, both old and new, are supporting this feature. -------------- lihuiba 2006-07-05
