[interprocess] Determine size of managed_shared_memory
by Kai Benndorf 12 Oct '19

12 Oct '19

Hi all, I want to create a managed_shared_memory in exactly the size I needed. Therefore I do something like this: size = sizeof( common_managed_shared_memory ); size += sizeof( MyClassInSharedMem ); managed_shared_memory segment(create_only, "name", size ); MyClassInSharedMem allocates itself some memory by segment->allocate(). I added this also to the size, but get a boost::interprocess::bad_alloc exception on allocating this additional memory. Are there some magic bytes I forgot to add? Many thanks in advance Kai

[statechart] Passing parameters from event to State Local Storage
by Christophe Bourez 16 Nov '16

16 Nov '16

I need to maintain a parameter into the state local storage. This parameter is initially contained in the event that causes the transition to the target state. I give hereafter a small illustrative example. typename sc = boost::statechart; class EvTest : public sc::event<EvTest> { public: EvTest(std::size_t val) : value(val) {} std::size_t getValue() const { return this->value; } private: std::size_t value; }; class MyStateMachine; class StSource; class StTarget; class StSource : public sc::simple_state<StSource, MyStateMachine> { public: typedef sc::custom_reaction<EvTest> reactions; sc::result react(const EvTest &event) { // How to pass event.getValue() to the target state ? transit<StTarget>(); } }; class StTarget : public sc::simple_state<StTarget, MyStateMachine> { public: StTarget(std::size_t val) : val(value) {} private: std::size_t value; }; Thanks, Christophe

Some strange boost headers errors
by alfonso santimone 15 May '15

15 May '15

Hi guys, i'm a boost newbie. I've got to include boost libraries in the include path of a VisualStudio 2012 project. When i try to compile i have all these errors. Every errors is related to missing headers ( boost ones and even standard Win ones ) and to synthax errors depending on missing headers i guess. Do someone have any idea on what's wrong here? I just post here a few lines of errors, but the other ones are all of the same kind Error 1 error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'boost' C:\boost_1_57_0\boost\core\ checked_delete.hpp 24 1 csound~ Error 2 error C2059: syntax error : ';' C:\boost_1_57_0\boost\core\checked_delete.hpp 24 1 csound~ Error 3 error C2449: found '{' at file scope (missing function header?)

Re: [Boost-users] lexical_cast between double and string slow in Visual Studio 2013
by David Roberts 07 May '15

07 May '15

> That issue is unknown. I'd really appreciate the investigation. I have done some more investigation, and there are two factors that only cause the slowness when they both occur together. > Try excluding the lexical_cast from test, I have a feeling that this is only MSVC related issue: > > #include <sstream> > #include <string> > > int main (int, char **) > { > for (double count = 0.0; count < 1000000.0; count += 1.41) > { > std::stringstream ss; > ss << count; > std::string result = std::move(ss.str()); > ss.str(std::string()); > > ss << result; > ss >> count; > } > > return 0; > } > Running your test program does not exhibit the problem. It runs in around 3 seconds on my machine when built with either Visual Studio 2010 or Visual Studio 2013. However, changing it very slightly to match more closely what lexical_cast does internally does recreate the problem: #include <sstream> #include <string> int main (int, char **) { for (double count = 0.0; count < 1000000.0; count += 1.41) { std::stringstream ss; ss.unsetf(std::ios::skipws); ss.precision(17); ss << count; std::string result = std::move(ss.str()); ss.str(std::string()); ss << result; ss >> count; } return 0; } The effect of setting the precision to 17 is that lots of 9s appear in the string representations. (The number 17 is what boost::detail::lcast_get_precision(double*) chooses.) Without the precision call the contents of the string called result start off like this: 0 1.41 2.82 4.23 5.64 7.05 8.46 9.87 11.28 12.69 With precision set to 17 they start off like this: 0 1.4099999999999999 2.8199999999999998 4.2299999999999995 5.6399999999999997 7.0499999999999998 8.4599999999999991 9.8699999999999992 11.279999999999999 12.69 This happens for both Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2013. Then the next difference is that Visual Studio 2013 spends a lot longer handling all the extra 9s. Changing the program so that the double is converted to a string using std::stringstream without a precision call and then back to double using lexical_cast takes about 3 seconds for both Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2013. It is the combination of having all the extra 9s to parse and using Visual Studio 2013 that makes the test using lexical_cast to go both ways slow. Both Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2013 do the conversion by calling std::num_get<char,std::istreambuf_iterator<char,std::char_traits<char> > >::do_get() which then calls a function called _Stodx() which is implemented in xstod.c. This function is very different for the two versions. In Visual Studio 2010 it's a relatively thin wrapper around the C function strtod(). In Visual Studio 2013 _Stodx() has got a completely new implementation that's generated by #including xxstod.h with some macros defined. The original C function strtod() is much faster than the new _Stodx() when there are lots of 9s at the end of the strings being parsed. This modification to the program: #include <sstream> #include <string> #include <stdlib.h> int main (int, char **) { for (double count = 0.0; count < 1000000.0; count += 1.41) { std::stringstream ss; ss.unsetf(std::ios::skipws); ss.precision(17); ss << count; std::string result = std::move(ss.str()); ss.str(std::string()); ss << result; char *endptr; count = strtod(ss.str().c_str(), &endptr); } return 0; } has a runtime of about 3 seconds even though it's got to cope with all the 9s. I guess only someone from Microsoft or Dinkumware could comment on why _Stodx() was reimplemented. But the other thing is that by setting precision to 17 lexical_cast is bloating the string representations of the doubles with lots of 9s in both Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2013. Setting precision to 15 instead prevents this, and makes the original test run faster even with Visual Studio 2013 (about 4 seconds rather than 10). Regards, David

[boost.geometry] buffer distance strategies
by gchlebus 09 Mar '15

09 Mar '15

Hi, I am wondering whether it would be possible to achieve anisotropic buffering (distances in neg x, pos x, neg y, pos y can have different values) of a polygon using the buffer function with custom-implemented distance strategy. What I want to achieve is presented on the figure 2-b in the following paper: http://itcnt05.itc.nl/agile_old/Conference/mallorca2002/proceedings/posters… I would be grateful to hear from you whether it is doable, and if positive, how one could implement such a custom distance strategy.

Hi, I'm looking for a solution to serialize boost::statechart objects. I'm aware that this feature is on the statechart library todo list but was wondering if there are any workaround to achieve this with the latest boost release (1.34) ? thanks for your help ! mbrodeur65 -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Statechart-serialization-tf4131326.html#a11749139 Sent from the Boost - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[msm] Stuck in pseudo exit
by Chrisopher Vogl 02 Mar '15

02 Mar '15

Hi all, I have got a sub state machine (called Calibrate) which is exited via a pseudo exit on an event called Ev_Exit. The event is triggered on the return of a synchronous D-Bus call. So far everything works fine. Now I wanted to use an async D-Bus call and trigger the event in the finished-handler of the asynchronous D-Bus call. I can see that the event is released and that the transition into the pseudo exit takes place but the control is not given back to the outer state machine, i.e. the following transition in the outer state machine is not executed: Row < Calibrate::exit_pt<PseudoExit> , Ev_Exit , CheckNFC , none , none >, Instead I get the log output that there is no transition for event Ev_Exit in the sub machine: user.notice tm-calibration: void hale::tmop::Calibration_::Calibrate_::CheckKconst::on_exit(const Event&, FSM&) [with Event = hale::tmop::Ev_Exit; FSM = boost::msm::back::state_machine<hale::tmop::Calibration_::Calibrate_>] user.notice tm-calibration: void hale::tmop::PseudoExit::on_entry(const Event&, FSM&) [with Event = hale::tmop::Ev_Exit; FSM = boost::msm::back::state_machine<hale::tmop::Calibration_::Calibrate_>] user.notice tm-calibration: void hale::tmop::Calibration_::Calibrate_::no_transition(const Event&, FSM&, int) [with FSM = boost::msm::back::state_machine<hale::tmop::Calibration_::Calibrate_>; Event = hale::tmop::Ev_Exit], No transition from state I get the same behaviour when I try to use Glib's signal_timeout() to generate timeout events in a sub machine. Then the sub machine gets also stuck in the pseudo exit. I'm using boost 1.53. The program is not multi-threaded and I'm using Glib's main loop. Part of transition table in sub machine called Calibrate: ... Row < CheckKconst , Ev_Exit , PseudoExit , none , is_exit_ok >, Row < CheckKconst , Ev_Exit , ShowDesc , showImpError , is_exit_error >, ... with enum ExitReason { EXIT_REASON_NONE, EXIT_REASON_OK, EXIT_REASON_TIMEOUT, EXIT_REASON_ERROR }; struct Ev_Exit { ExitReason exitReason_; std::string message_; int code_; Ev_Exit() : exitReason_( EXIT_REASON_NONE ), code_( 0 ) {} Ev_Exit( ExitReason exitReason, std::string message = "", int code = 0 ) : exitReason_( exitReason ), message_( message ), code_( code ) {} template <class Event> Ev_Exit( Event const& ) : exitReason_( EXIT_REASON_NONE ), code_( 0 ) {} }; struct is_exit_ok { template <class EVT, class FSM, class SourceState, class TargetState> bool operator()( EVT const& evt, FSM& fsm, SourceState& ss, TargetState& ts ) { return evt.exitReason_ == EXIT_REASON_OK; } }; struct PseudoExit : public msm::front::exit_pseudo_state<Ev_Exit> { template <class Event,class FSM> void on_entry( Event const& evt, FSM& fsm ) {} template <class Event,class FSM> void on_exit( Event const& evt, FSM& fsm ) {} };

problems building
by Nathan Ridge 28 Feb '15

28 Feb '15

Hi list, I'm trying to build Boost for the first time in a while, and getting unexpected errors. I have a git checkout of the 'master' branch, but I've also tried with the 'boost-1.57.0' tag and had the same problem. The build command I'm running is './b2 --with-filesystem', and the errors I'm getting are of the following form: gcc.compile.c++ bin.v2/libs/system/build/gcc-4.9.0/release/threading-multi/error_code.o In file included from libs/system/src/error_code.cpp:16:0: ./boost/system/error_code.hpp:18:39: fatal error: boost/utility/enable_if.hpp: No such file or directory #include <boost/utility/enable_if.hpp> ^ compilation terminated.

What am I missing? Thanks, Nate [1] https://github.com/boostorg/system/blob/master/include/boost/system/error_c… [2] https://github.com/boostorg/utility/tree/master/include/boost/utility
