Hi, I have checked the entry for DataSolid at http://freespace.virgin.net/boost.regex/who/html/who_s_using_boost_/shrink.… and I have detected two small errors: 1. It would be fine to delete the phrase professional as the product line is just named 'CADdy++ Mechanical Design'. This was my fault, sorry. 2. 'CAFdy++ uses the ...' should be 'CADdy++ uses the ...' With best regards Johannes ____________ Virus checked by G DATA AntiVirusKit

Hydranode Project is using Boost libraries
by Alo Sarv 22 Jun '05

22 Jun '05

Hydranode Engine is a plugin-driven P2P client engine that relies heavily on Boost libraries. Hydranode codebase is licenced under GNU GPL, and is developed mainly by Alo Sarv. Currently in Beta phase, Hydranode runs on wide range of platforms, including Windows, Linux, BSD, Mac OS, Solaris etc. Hydranode Engine and plugins rely heavily on the following Boost libraries: Bind, Function, Lambda, MultiIndex, Signals, Threads, SmartPtr, Format, LexicalCast. Other Boost libraries being used include FileSystem, StringAlgo, DateTime, ProgramOptions, Spirit, Random, Tokenizer, TypeTraits, Tribool, Tuple and Any. Once Boost 1.33 is released, I'm also looking forward to using Boost.IOStreams library in Hydranode. All complex data structures in Hydranode are implemented using MultiIndex containers, which significantly reduced development time and kept code clean. Format is being used for all text formatting. Having Threads and FileSystem libraries available made cross-platform development lot easier in those areas. Homepage: http://hydranode.com/

Re: [boost] boost.filesystem on HPUX

Hi Toon, Caleb Epstein, Beman, Thomas Matelich, >> > Does anybody now any other flag that might influence this? >> Is it normal (never used readdir_r myself) that it is only defined in >> > multi-threading-mode? >From manpage of readdir_r: "Users of readdir_r() should note that readdir_r() now conforms with the POSIX.1c Threads standard. The old prototype of readdir_r() is supported for compatibility with existing DCE applications only." _r denotes reentrant functions and -mt enables the following (for default -AA mode for aCC/Itanium): * -D_REENTRANT * -D_RW_MULTI_THREAD * -D_RWSTD_MULTI_THREAD * -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199506L * -D_HPUX_SOURCE * * -lpthread >> Should we instruct bbv1 to compile the boost.filesystem always with the -mt flag on hpux ?

[serialization] add_facet, VC7.1, and overloading operator new
by Chris Byrne 22 Jun '05

22 Jun '05

Hi, I've been playing around with overloading global operator new and delete and came across a problem concerning facets with VC7.1 in debug mode. Internally facets are reference counted and destroyed in [locale0.cpp - locale::_Locimp::~_Locimp()] via a macro _DELETE_CRT [xdebug]. Now when _DEBUG is defined this macro will not call 'operator delete' directly. So any facets added to a locale using 'operator new' will not be freed with 'operator delete'. In my case this leads to an assertion in dbgheap.c. This is because the heap manager correctly recognizes that it was not responsible for the allocation. boost/archive/impl/basic_text_iprimitive.ipp: add_facet( std::locale::classic(), new codecvt_null<BOOST_DEDUCED_TYPENAME IStream::char_type> ) Minimal example is appended to the bottom of this post. As for a possible work around (read hack) you can use _NEW_CRT instead of new directly. A some what nicer hack^H^H^H^Hsolution may be to get add_facet to perform the actual facet allocation itself using _NEW_CRT instead of the caller. Chris Byrne //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// #include <boost/archive/add_facet.hpp> #include <boost/archive/codecvt_null.hpp> #include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp> #include <stdlib.h> #include <malloc.h> using namespace boost; using namespace boost::archive; using namespace std; void* operator new(size_t size) { char* block = reinterpret_cast<char*>(malloc(size + 1)); return block + 1; } void operator delete(void* address) { if (!address) return; char* block = reinterpret_cast<char*>(address); free(block - 1); } int main() { shared_ptr<locale> p; p.reset( add_facet(locale::classic(), new codecvt_null<char>) // add_facet(locale::classic(), _NEW_CRT codecvt_null<char>) ); p.reset(); return 0; }

Typesafe enums proposal
by Maksym Motornyy 21 Jun '05

21 Jun '05

Hello, all. I want to propose typesafe enums. Sources are available in Boost Sandbox (typesafe_enums.zip). Were tested under VC 7.1. Main features are: - type safety; - meaningful printable names; - ability to use in switch-case constructs; - iteration through enumerators; - enumerator-specific methods; Basic usage =========== class season_policy: public boost::simple_enumeration_policy { public: BOOST_DEFINE_ENUMERATOR( WINTER ) BOOST_DEFINE_ENUMERATOR( SPRING ) BOOST_DEFINE_ENUMERATOR( SUMMER ) BOOST_DEFINE_ENUMERATOR( AUTUMN ) typedef boost::mpl::vector< WINTER, SPRING, SUMMER, AUTUMN > enumerators; }; typedef boost::enumeration< season_policy > season; Type safety ----------- season s = season::WINTER(); if ( s ) // accidentally forgotten comparison, wouldn't compile BOOST_ASSERT( false ); if ( s == season::SUMMER() ) std::cout << "Let's go in for fishing!"; Meaningful printable names -------------------------- season s = season::WINTER(); BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL( s->get_name(), "WINTER" ); Ability to use in switch-case constructs ---------------------------------------- season s = season::SUMMER(); switch ( s.get_id() ) { case BOOST_ENUMERATOR_ID( season, SUMMER ): break; default: BOOST_ERROR( "Should not fall here." ); break; } Iteration through enumerators ----------------------------- for ( season::iterator i = season::begin(); i != season::end(); ++i ) std::cout << ( *i )->get_name() << " "; Advanced usage ============== class operation_policy { public: class base_enumerator { public: virtual double eval( double operand1, double operand2 ) const = 0; }; template < typename Functor > class enumerator_impl: public base_enumerator { public: double eval( double operand1, double operand2 ) const { return Functor()( operand1, operand2 ); } }; class PLUS: public enumerator_impl< std::plus< double > > { }; class MINUS: public enumerator_impl< std::minus< double > > { }; class TIMES: public enumerator_impl< std::multiplies< double > > { }; class DIVIDE: public enumerator_impl< std::divides< double > > { }; typedef boost::mpl::vector< PLUS, MINUS, TIMES, DIVIDE > enumerators; }; typedef boost::enumeration< operation_policy > operation; Enumerator-specific methods --------------------------- for ( season::iterator i = season::begin(); i != season::end(); ++i ) std::cout << ( *i )->eval( 4, 2 ) << " "; // expected output is: 6 2 8 2 Is anybody found it useful? Sincerely, Maksym Motornyy.

[test] investigating Borland test_fp_comparisons failure
by AlisdairM 21 Jun '05

21 Jun '05

The borland test failures all come down to failing CHECK_NOT_CLOSE macros defined within the test file. My understanding is poor, because it looks to me that the following cases SHOULD fail: CHECK_NOT_CLOSE( 0, 1e-20, 1e-5 ); CHECK_NOT_CLOSE( 0, 1e-30, 1e-5 ); CHECK_NOT_CLOSE( 0, -1e-10, 0.1 ); CHECK_NOT_CLOSE( 0.123456, 0.123457, 1e-4 ); CHECK_NOT_CLOSE( 1.111e-10, 1.112e-10, 0.08999 ); CHECK_NOT_CLOSE( 1, 1.0002, 1.1e-2 ); However, it is clear the following is a genuine error: CHECK_NOT_CLOSE( 0.123456, -0.123457, 1e-3 ); I am obviously missing something, as the majority of compilers pass the test as written. -- AlisdairM

A percentage tolerance makes sense if you regard 1E-10 as far from 1 as 1 is from 1E10. If you do, then 0 is infinitely far from any other finite number. If you don't, then I suggest you are using floating point as an easy substitute for fixed-point arithmetic (which is what I do). -- Martin Bonner Martin.Bonner(a)Pitechnology.com Pi Technology, Milton Hall, Ely Road, Milton, Cambridge, CB4 6WZ, ENGLAND Tel: +44 (0)1223 441434

[logging] flush_log_cache doesn't flush everything?
by Andy Schweitzer 21 Jun '05

21 Jun '05

I'm not sure I understand correctly, but it appears that flush_log_cache in the logging library doesn't actually force everything in the pipeline to be written by the logging thread to be written. Empirically, it seems that I had to add a sleep to the end of my program to cause everything to be written. Code-review-wise, and here I'm pretty sure I don't completely understand, it appears that flush_log_cache pushes things further down the pipeline but doesn't actually synchronize (wait for) the writing thread to complete. It seems like there maybe should be some kind of routine that "blocks" until all pending writes are complete, maybe just a wrapper around the ability to request the writing thread to finish, and then wait for it to complete. Maybe this mechanism is already present? I suppose that brings up other complications, such as what if some other thread logs something after we've asked it to stop. In the code I was testing, I had a ts_appender, to which I added a appender_array, to which I added 4 write_to_files. For ~ 10 seconds I wrote to the log. Then I call flush_log_cache. If I don't then sleep a few seconds, the files are not all identical. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?> <VisualStudioProject ProjectType="Visual C++" Version="7.10" Name="LogFlushTest" ProjectGUID="{E0693D56-29D0-435D-BB13-8DED291C84AE}" Keyword="Win32Proj"> <Platforms> <Platform Name="Win32"/> </Platforms> <Configurations> <Configuration Name="Debug|Win32" OutputDirectory="Debug" IntermediateDirectory="Debug" ConfigurationType="1" CharacterSet="2"> <Tool Name="VCCLCompilerTool" Optimization="0" AdditionalIncludeDirectories="$(BOOST_ROOT)" PreprocessorDefinitions="WIN32;_DEBUG;_CONSOLE" MinimalRebuild="TRUE" BasicRuntimeChecks="3" RuntimeLibrary="1" UsePrecompiledHeader="0" WarningLevel="3" Detect64BitPortabilityProblems="TRUE" DebugInformationFormat="4"/> <Tool Name="VCCustomBuildTool"/> <Tool Name="VCLinkerTool" OutputFile="$(OutDir)/LogFlushTest.exe" LinkIncremental="2" AdditionalLibraryDirectories=""$(BOOST_ROOT)\bin\boost\libs\thread\build\libboost_thread.lib\vc-7_1\debug\runtime-link-static\threading-multi";"$(BOOST_ROOT)\bin\boost\libs\log\build\libboost_log.lib\vc-7_1\debug\runtime-link-static\threading-multi";"$(BOOST_ROOT)\bin\boost\libs\program_options\build\libboost_program_options.lib\vc-7_1\debug\runtime-link-static\threading-multi";"$(BOOST_ROOT)\bin\boost\libs\log\build\libboost_log.lib\vc-7_1\debug\runtime-link-static";"$(BOOST_ROOT)\bin\boost\libs\program_options\build\libboost_program_options.lib\vc-7_1\debug\runtime-link-static";"$(BOOST_ROOT)\bin";"$(BOOST_ROOT)\bin\boost";"$(BOOST_ROOT)\bin\boost\libs"" GenerateDebugInformation="TRUE" ProgramDatabaseFile="$(OutDir)/LogFlushTest.pdb" SubSystem="1" TargetMachine="1"/> <Tool Name="VCMIDLTool"/> <Tool Name="VCPostBuildEventTool"/> <Tool Name="VCPreBuildEventTool"/> <Tool Name="VCPreLinkEventTool"/> <Tool Name="VCResourceCompilerTool"/> <Tool Name="VCWebServiceProxyGeneratorTool"/> <Tool Name="VCXMLDataGeneratorTool"/> <Tool Name="VCWebDeploymentTool"/> <Tool Name="VCManagedWrapperGeneratorTool"/> <Tool Name="VCAuxiliaryManagedWrapperGeneratorTool"/> </Configuration> <Configuration Name="Release|Win32" OutputDirectory="Release" IntermediateDirectory="Release" ConfigurationType="1" CharacterSet="2"> <Tool Name="VCCLCompilerTool" PreprocessorDefinitions="WIN32;NDEBUG;_CONSOLE" RuntimeLibrary="4" UsePrecompiledHeader="3" WarningLevel="3" Detect64BitPortabilityProblems="TRUE" DebugInformationFormat="3"/> <Tool Name="VCCustomBuildTool"/> <Tool Name="VCLinkerTool" OutputFile="$(OutDir)/LogFlushTest.exe" LinkIncremental="1" GenerateDebugInformation="TRUE" SubSystem="1" OptimizeReferences="2" EnableCOMDATFolding="2" TargetMachine="1"/> <Tool Name="VCMIDLTool"/> <Tool Name="VCPostBuildEventTool"/> <Tool Name="VCPreBuildEventTool"/> <Tool Name="VCPreLinkEventTool"/> <Tool Name="VCResourceCompilerTool"/> <Tool Name="VCWebServiceProxyGeneratorTool"/> <Tool Name="VCXMLDataGeneratorTool"/> <Tool Name="VCWebDeploymentTool"/> <Tool Name="VCManagedWrapperGeneratorTool"/> <Tool Name="VCAuxiliaryManagedWrapperGeneratorTool"/> </Configuration> </Configurations> <References> </References> <Files> <Filter Name="Source Files" Filter="cpp;c;cxx;def;odl;idl;hpj;bat;asm;asmx" UniqueIdentifier="{4FC737F1-C7A5-4376-A066-2A32D752A2FF}"> <File RelativePath=".\LogFlushTest.cpp"> </File> </Filter> <Filter Name="Header Files" Filter="h;hpp;hxx;hm;inl;inc;xsd" UniqueIdentifier="{93995380-89BD-4b04-88EB-625FBE52EBFB}"> </Filter> <Filter Name="Resource Files" Filter="rc;ico;cur;bmp;dlg;rc2;rct;bin;rgs;gif;jpg;jpeg;jpe;resx" UniqueIdentifier="{67DA6AB6-F800-4c08-8B7A-83BB121AAD01}"> </Filter> <File RelativePath=".\ReadMe.txt"> </File> </Files> <Globals> </Globals> </VisualStudioProject> // set environment variable BOOST_ROOT to point to your top level boost directory // (for example mine points to e:\C++\Boost\boost_1_32_0). #include "windows.h" #include <iostream> #include <iterator> #include <boost/bind.hpp> #include <boost/function.hpp> #include <boost/ref.hpp> //#include <boost/signals.hpp> #include <boost/tuple/tuple.hpp> #include <list> #include <functional> #include <fstream> #include <boost/log/log.hpp> #include <boost/log/functions.hpp> #include <boost/log/functions_ts.hpp> using namespace std;
