So are you saying, that in order to safely use ptr_map, the class hierarchy needs to be noncopyable by default? If so, I would see that as a justification for favoring the use of the cow_ptr smart pointers over using ptr_map, since the cow_ptr does not have such a restriction for it's safe usage. > If you really want to assign the pointers, then use replace(). > > > > >>>5.

It takes a lot of work to get containers right, and it just not practical to expect one programmer to be able to put together a set of containers that are going to safely emulate (or closely emulate) all the main STL containers, and be able to work properly in all the main stream compilers. (VC++6.0, 7.0, 7.1, 8.x, GNU 3.x, 4.0, Borland 5.x, Intel, Comeau, etc..). IMHO, it's far easier and safer to develop a safe smart pointer that can be used with the existing safe, reliable, and well tested STL containers. It's also easier for a user to learn how to use a container of smart pointers who's container interface matches that which they're already familiar with. > >>Switching to a deep-copying smart pointer can have significant > >>performance implications, particularly (but not only) with compilers > >>without RTO, like vc6. > >> > > > > > > VC6 doesn't even compile using the boost::ptr_map or > > boost::ptr_set?..... > > well, it's basically an ancient compiler and I don't have the > resources to port to it anymore. > > > You can eliminate performance implications by using a deep-copying > > smart pointer like the cow_ptr, which I previously posted.

I try not to deal with reputations, and deal with facts. I rather take a more scientific approach, which involves testing and measuring. You can not measure reputation.

I still see this as a detraction from using the ptr_map container, since it requires knowledge of a different interface.

COW doesn't have a good reputation. I agree with Thorsten and will be interested in the results of the tests. I think the ptr_containers need more work, but I don't think they should be replaced because something might be better. If an alternative proves to be better and is adopted by people, the ptr_containers will not be used and will be a footnote in history. In the meantime I think the competition between approaches is interesting. Brian www.webEbenezer.net

[fusion-2]: Problems with as_map on empty views
by Andreas Pokorny 03 Jan '06

03 Jan '06

Hi there, I have a slight problem with the construction of a map with fusion::as_map on an empty view: #include <boost/fusion/sequence/class/map.hpp> #include <boost/fusion/sequence/view/filter_view.hpp> #include <boost/fusion/sequence/conversion/as_map.hpp> #include <boost/fusion/core/pair.hpp> struct drop_all {template <typename A> struct apply : boost::mpl::false_ {};}; int main() { using namespace boost::fusion; typedef map<pair<int,int>,pair<float,int>, pair<short,int> > my_map; typedef filter_view<my_map, drop_all> empty_view; typedef meta::as_map<empty_view>::type empty_map; my_map source; empty_view empty_source( source ); empty_map obj( as_map( empty_source) ); } Should I check if the view is empty before running as_map? I had a related problem, which I am right now unable to minimize. Somehow filter and transform views seem to call the meta functions with mpl::void_ and fusion::void_. Regards, Andreas Pokorny

One of the reasons to use pointers, is so that you don't have object slicing. ptr_map is a container of pointers, but you still get object slicing.

You can eliminate performance implications by using a deep-copying smart pointer like the cow_ptr, which I previously posted. Moreover, I wouldn't be surprise if the cow_ptr was able to out perform the boost pointer containers. I'm currently working on making a comparison between the boost pointer containers and copy_ptr/cow_ptr. I also plan to do performance test, so that the comparison will be more complete. Below I list some of the issues found using the boost pointer containers. Some of the issues are by design, and some are not. Whether it's by design or not, I still consider the issues relevant in a comparison. The test was performed using boost_1_33_0 and VC++ 7.1, 6.0, and GNU 3.x. You can download the test code via following link: http://code.axter.com/BoostPtrContainerTestCode.zip The current test code is a little hard to read, but once I'm completely done with all the test, I will clean it up. Please feel free to correct me on any of the items listed below. Most of the items listed below, you'll find relevant comments in the above test code. Boost::ptr_vector 1. The constructor that takes two iterators fails to compile on VC++ 6.0 2. Fails to include a copy constructor (by design) 3. ptr_vector::push_back fails to compile with a de-referenced iterator 4. ptr_vector produces a runtime error when assigning one container to another via operator[] 5. Produces multiple compiler warnings when using VC++ 7.1 6. Will fail to clone the right type if a derived-derived type fails to implement the clone method. 7. Does not have the standard vector::assign member function that takes (size_type, const Type&) boost::ptr_set 1. Fails to compile on VC++ 6.0 2. Can not insert using an abstract pointer. 3. Can not find using an abstract pointer. 4. Crashes when inserting via de-referenced iterator from another container 5. boost::ptr_set is publicly derived from boost::ptr_set_adapter, however ptr_set_adapter does not have a virtual function, nor does any of it's base classes. 6. Fails to compile when used with ptr_set::const_reverse_iterator logic boost::ptr_map 1. Unable to compile with an abstract type 2. Does not have an insert type for std::pair 3. Can not insert using a constant for 1st argument 4. Unable to compile on VC++ 6.0 5. Does not support the pointer as the key type 6. Fails to compile insert to iterator type 7. ptr_map::equal_range does not return std::pair<iterator, iterator> type as does the standard map::equal_range 8. Does not use the standard first and second iterator members as does the standard map::iterator 9. Instead of using first and second iterator members, boost::ptr_map uses operator-> and key() functions to access first and second. However, it still fails to compile when using const_reverse_iterator.

asio formal review begins
by Jeff Garland 03 Jan '06

03 Jan '06

All - Today (Dec 10th) is the start of the format review of the Asynchronous I/O library (asio) library by Christopher Kohlhoff. The review will run until Friday December 23rd. I will be serving as review manager. From the library synopsis: Boost.Asio is a cross-platform C++ library for network programming that provides developers with a consistent asynchronous I/O model using a modern C++ approach. Downloads of the library as well as online documentation can be found at: http://asio.sourceforge.net/ (please refresh the page if you don't see "Boost Review Material" at the top) http://asio.sourceforge.net/boost-asio-proposal-0.3.6/libs/asio/doc/ As usual, please state in review comments how you reviewed the library and whether the you think the library should be accepted into Boost. Further guidelines for writing reviews can be found on the website at: http://www.boost.org/more/formal_review_process.htm#Comments Please review early and often! Thanks, Jeff ******************************************************* A Few Library Details: ******************************************************* Supported Platforms The following platforms and compilers have been tested: * Win32 using Visual C++ 7.1 and Visual C++ 8.0. * Win32 using Borland C++Builder 6 patch 4. * Win32 using MinGW. * Linux (2.4 or 2.6 kernels) using g++ 3.3 or later. * Solaris using g++ 3.3 or later. * Mac OS X 10.4 using g++ 3.3 or later. Rationale The Boost.Asio library is intended for programmers using C++ for systems programming, where access to operating system functionality such as networking is often required. In particular, Boost.Asio attempts to address the following goals: * Portability. The library should support, and provide consistent behaviour across, a range of commonly used operating systems. * Scalability. The library should allow, and indeed encourage, the development of network applications that scale to hundreds or thousands of concurrent connections. The library implementation for each operating system should use the mechanism that best enables this scalability. * Efficiency. The library should support techniques such as scatter-gather I/O, and allow protocol implementations that minimise data copying. * Model Berkeley sockets. The Berkeley sockets API is widely implemented and understood, as well as being covered in much literature. Other programming languages often use a similar interface for networking APIs. * Ease of use. Lower the entry barrier for new users by taking a toolkit, rather than framework, approach. That is, try to minimise the up-front investment in time to just learning a few basic rules and guidelines. After that, a library user should only need to understand the specific functions that are being used. * Basis for further abstraction. The library should permit the development of other libraries that provide higher levels of abstraction. For example, implementations of commonly used protocols such as HTTP. Although the current incarnation of Boost.Asio focuses primarily on networking, its concepts of asynchronous I/O can be extended to include other operating system resources such as files.

[asio] Formal Review
by Giovanni P. Deretta 03 Jan '06

03 Jan '06

Hi everybody, I hope not to have missed the review deadline... First of all I vote *not* to accept asio in boost yet. I think that the library is very promising but there are some issues. If the library is not accepted, is strongly encourage the author to subimit it again once the issues are resolved. - What is your evaluation of the design? Promising. I think that the most important innovation of asio is the dispatcher concept and the async call pattern. Everything else is just *extra*. It probably should be removed in some way from asio and made a separate boost library (or may be just rename asio to something like "asynch lib" or whatever). The interface provided by asio is very low level, but i think this is a strenght of asio, not a weakness. Higher level interfaces (iostreams, buffer management etc...) can be added later as external components or extensions to the library itself. The {datagram|stream}_socket interface is nice, but i have some issues with them. First of all the name "socket" is too much connected with the BSD socket API. I think that asio should go well beyond it and not limit itself to the system socket types (not that it does, but the names might seem to imply that). This is just a personal preference though. Also i think there should be *no* asio::stream_socket. This is my major The current stream socket should be in the namespace asio::ipv4, and should be a different type for example from an eventual asio::posix_pipe::stream_socket or asio::unix::stream_socket. Especially the last can be currently trivially implemented by defining the appropriate protocol. This means that a stream_socket initialized with a ipv4::tcp protocol will interoperate with a stream_socket initialized with a unix::stream protocol. For example, currently i can use my hipotethical unix::stream with ipv4::resolver. Asio should not be type unsafe only because the BSD API is. Of course both should share the same code, but it should be an implementation detail. I like the sync and asynch read/write interface and I have no problem with them being in the same object (i.e. no separation of asynch socket and sync socket). I agree that the proactor patter is the more portable than the reactor one, especially if asio is extended to filesystem i/o. I think the interface could be extended for better efficiency (i will try to describe later how), but this can be done at a later stage. I don't really like a lot the service concept. While I agree that the service repository is useful to hold the various proactor implementations (iocp_service, reactive_service<kqueue>, reactive_service<epoll>, etc...), i don't think that the streams should care about them. As long as the impl_type are interoperable, any stream should be bindable with any service. This also means that the binding with the demuxer should *not* be done at creation time, but at open time. This will make it possible to have different openers: connector, acceptor, unix::socket_pair, posix::pipe etc. The openers are instead created with a demuxer reference and will pass it to the socket when opened. By the way, the implementation of socket functions (accept, connect, read, write, etc) should not be members of the demuxer service but free functions or, better, static members of a policy class. The buffer concept does not really add much, simply using void pointers and size_t length parameters might require less conceptual overhead. They don't add much security (it should be the responsibility of higher layers along with buffer managements), and in practice don't help a lot with scatter/gather i/o: often you can't reuse an existing vector of iovecs, because you need to do an operation from/to the middle of it and thus you need to build a temporary one. As the iovector is usually small (16 elements may be?) and can be stack allocated, I think that having a global buffer type is a premature optimization. Instead there should be a *per stream type*, because a custom stream might use a different iovector implementation that the system one ( io_vec or whatever). It should have at least push_back(void*, size_t) and size() members. Scatter gather operations should accept an iterator to first element of the operation (usually the first element of the vector). The current interface let the user put a socket in non blocking mode, but there is not much that can be done with that, because no reactor is exported. The various reactors/proactor implementations should be removed from the detail namespace and be promoted to public interfaces, albeit in their own namespace (i.e. win32::iocp_proactor, posix::select_reactor, linux::epoll_reactor etc...). This change will make the library a lot more useful. The buffered stream is almost useless. Any operation requires two copies, one from kernel to user space, and one from the internal buffer to the user buffer. The internal buffer should be unlimited in length (using some kind of deque) and accessible to eliminate copies. An interface for i/o that does not require copying would be generally usefull and not limited to buffered streams. - What is your evaluation of the implementation? Good. The code is very clean and readable. Often is more useful than the documentation. There are inefficiencies caused by too much dynamic allocations, mutexes and unnecessary system calls, but they are not intrinsic in the desing and I see from other posting that they are currently being addresed by the author. Probably there should be more code reuse. For example the asio::ssl::stream duplicates much of the code of asio::stream_base. I think that the buffer function does not support vectors with custom allocators, but i might be missing something. On some systems there is already an asynch resolver call (glibc provides getaddrinfo_a). Asio should use them instead of its own thread based emulation. The glibc api still use threads, but a strictly single threaded implementation is theoretically possible. The implemenation is header only. It makes the library easier to use, but network system headers are known to pollute the enviroment :) - What is your evaluation of the documentation? Insufficient. One of the best thing of boost is the quality of its documentation. I don't think that asio is on par with boost standards. While the examples are good and well described, the API documentation is not very useful. It really shows its autogenerated-ness :) - What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library? Extremely useful. There have been lots of requests and proposal for a boost.net library. Asio is certanly the most promising. - Did you try to use the library? While I didn't use all of it (No timers nor SSL), as an experiment I did write a simple continuation library using asio::demuxer as a scheduler and using asio callback pattern to restart coroutines waiting for i/o. Asio's demuxer cleaness and callback guarantees made the implementation very straightforward. If some one is interested i may upload the code somewhere. Currently it is posix only (it uses the makecontext family of system calls), but it should be fairly easy to implement win32 fiber support. - How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A quick reading? In-depth study? In depth. I've read most of the documentation and studied the implementation, or at leas part of it. - Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain? Yes, a bit. I've written my own network library, although synchronous only. I've studied the asynch problem in depth, but I've only theorethical knowledge of it. I did not add async support to my library because I couldn't find a good async interface. ---- At this point the review if finished. I'will continue with a wish list of the things i would like to see in asio, but don't necessarily belong to a 1.0 version: - Asynchornous completion Tokens. While callbacks are useful most of the time, sometimes ACT are a bettere solution. It would be nice if asio did let the user specify an act instead of a callback to async functions. Then the demuxer would act as a container of ACTs that could be enumerated. - Lazy allocation of buffers. Instead of passing a buffer or a list of buffers to an async io function, a special allocator is passed. When the buffer is needed (before the async syscall on real proactors and before the non blocking call, but after polling on emulated proactors), the allocator is called and it will return a buffer to be used for the operation. The buffer is then passed to the handler. It will eliminate the need to commit buffer memory for inactive connections. This mostly makes sense for reading, but it might be extended to writing too. This optimization make it possible to add... - Multishot calls. Instead of the regular "exactly one callback for async_call", a client might register a callback for multiple wakeups. For example a async_multi_read_some will be called with a buffer allocator and a callback as parameter and will return a registration token. Every time some data is available from the socket, a buffer is allocated, data is read and a callback is done. Note that the same callback is reused, so there is no need to allocate and copy multiple callbacks. This optimization, for example, will greatly reduce the number of syscalls done in reactive demuxer. The notification of interest to the system demuxer is only done once, then as long as the read syscall does not block, no other syscalls need to be done. This will probably be useful mostly with datagram servers. The same optimization can be done to async_accept. - Relinquising ownership of buffers or lending them. While the normal BSD api requires the copying of buffers anyway, there are streams that can be implemented without copying. For example a process-local shared memory stream can be implemented by simply moving pointer to buffers between threads. A buffered stream might take ownership of a supplied buffer and add it to its own buffer list. Giving and taking ownership is not the only action possible, but a immutable buffer could be loaned to a stream. This is useful for caching. For example, when reading from a file a cached file stream can be used. The stream will check in the cache if the file page is present, and if so, it will return a shared, reference counted, pointer to the page as an immutable buffer. As long as the caller only reads from the supplied buffer (for example to send it to a remote host), no copying is required. I think that's all ... for now :). Sorry for the long review. --- Giovanni P. Deretta

[asio] select_reactor questions
by Andrew Schweitzer 03 Jan '06

03 Jan '06

Hi Chris, just trying to understand how select_reactor works. Can you confirm/correct? select_reactor's job is to wait for socket operations and timeouts. When any of these occur, select_reactor calls demuxer::post so that demuxer_service to can actually issue the callbacks for these events. select_reactor does its job by calling select. Select is passed a list of all active sockets plus a special, "dummy" socket. Select_reactor, via a socket_select_interrupter object, is both client and server on this special dummy socket. When the user wants to add a new event to react to, select must be interrupted so it can start waiting on the new event. This is accomplished by issuing a write on the dummy socket. If the user has scheduled any timers, select is passed a timeout of the smallest existing timer. On Windows select_reactor constructor starts its own thread which executes the select wait in a loop. Assuming all of that is correct, can you explain what the code in socket_ops::select() does that checks if all sockets are null and if so calls ::Sleep()? I sort of expect I've missed something, but it looks like dead code. with the prescence of the interrupter and its dummy socket, the socket list will never be null. Also, if they were null, I'm not sure Sleep would work very well. For one thing, it's not interruptable, so if the only thing is a large timer, any new additions of sockets or timers would have to wait for the large timer to complete before they could be added. For another, it looks like if there were no timers running, it would essentially be polling 1/ms for sockets + timers. Thanks, Andrew

Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Oliver Kowalke (oliver_kowalke) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: boost.build needs fixes for HP/UX Initial Comment: Hello, I'm using boost on HP/UX (11.11 PA-RISC) with gcc (3.4.4). The default build for boost needs to be fixed for this platform! 1.) -fPIC: Shared libraries must be build as position-independent code (HP/UX linker requires this) on HP/UX! 2.) On HP/UX the extension *.sl is common for shared libraries -> boosts default is *.so (my UNIX-Admin was m irritated be *.so). Do not use "-sSUFDLL=.sl"!!! This generates libraries which will fail during load (for instance signals library). I was able to reproduce this behaviour.
